  • 4th Circuit vs Maryland Carry: What’s Legal Now, What Could Change Next

    Send us Fan Mail

    A major Maryland carry case is moving — and the consequences could be big.
    In this episode, Duane Urban and attorney Andrew Saller break down the 4th Circuit’s ruling on Maryland’s 2023 “Gun Safety Act” / SB1 and why it matters for everyday permit holders.

    If the ruling stands, more places could become legally off-limits — including anywhere that sells alcohol, public transportation, state parks, and even being within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration.

    ✅ What’s changing now?
    ✅ What’s NOT changing yet?
    ✅ What’s next: en banc or Supreme Court?

    COMMENT: Which “sensitive place” ban impacts you the most?

  • Reloading 101 – Part 2: 9mm on a Single-Stage Press (2020 Facebook Live Re-Release)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Part 2 is here! This is the grand re-release of the 2020 “lost” footage where we load 9mm on a single-stage press. I walk through brass inspection, sizing/decapping, trimming, priming (hand tool & on-press), measuring powder (balance beam, thrower, RCBS electronic), seating to OAL, and applying a light crimp—plus labeling and using a case gauge.

    What you’ll learn:
    -Why single-stage is perfect for learning fundamentals
    -Brass inspection: splits, bulges, case head issues
    -Resize/decap + shell holder setup
    -Trimming & deburr (Lee system) and when pistol cases need it
    -Priming two ways (RCBS hand primer + on-press)
    -Powder: balance beam vs. thrower vs. electronic dispenser
    -Seating depth & OAL checks (example target ~1.150")
    -Light crimping: what it does and how to avoid over-crimp
    -Final inspection, case gauge checks, labeling & load journal
    ____________________

  • Talking Guns, Tanks, and YouTube Limits – Your Arsenal Advisor on the Urban Defense Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of the Urban Defense Podcast, we sit down with Brian from Your Arsenal Advisor to talk about guns, tanks, reloading, the SCAR 17, 1911s, why the Marine Corps ditched armor, and what it’s really like trying to run a firearms-focused YouTube channel in 2025.

    We get into:

    How he got started making gun content on YouTube

    His background (Marine Corps, construction management, lifelong shooter)

    Why he films tanks, armor, and range footage

    His favorite rifles and pistols (SCAR 17S, SIG P229, Glocks, 10mm G20)

    Reloading basics, safety, case gauges, headspace, ladder testing

    Algorithm throttling, demonetization, takedowns, and appeals

    Why even “normal” content like painting a rifle or showing historical rifles gets flagged

    And yes… SCAR 17 vs 1911 vs “Two World Wars”

    We also talk about Marine Corps armor, historic tanks, museum access, AR platform details (bolt catch, dust cover, forward assist debates), and how comments/shares literally decide whether videos like this get seen.

  • Beginner’s Guide to Reloading Ammo | Lost 2020 Livestream (Dillon, Lee, Hornady, RCBS)

    Send us Fan Mail

     We found the “lost” reloading episode!

    This is the long-lost 2020 intro to ammunition reloading that I thought never saved. It kicked off a two-part series during the COVID days. Part one (this video) covers the basics, gear, safety, and realistic expectations. Part two (coming soon) goes deeper into steps and setup.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:
    -Why reload (self-reliance, rare/custom loads) vs. when it won’t save much on common calibers
    -Essential gear: single-stage vs. progressive presses (Dillon XL650/750, Lee, Hornady, RCBS), shell holders/plates
    -Case cleaning: vibratory vs. wet tumbling (Lyman, Frankford Arsenal; media vs. stainless pins)
    -Priming & powder: hand primers, throwers, balance beam scales, electronic dispensers (RCBS Chargemaster)
    -Dies & setup: sizing/decapping, seating, separate crimp (Lee Factory Crimp)
    -Case prep: trimming options, chamfer/deburr, calipers, case gauges
    -Components overview: brass, bullets, powder (Unique, H110), primers; common calibers (9mm, .223/5.56, .308, 12-ga, .50 BMG)
    -Basic workflow: inspect → clean → size/decap → trim/chamfer → prime → charge → seat → crimp → final inspection
    -Record-keeping: how to label boxes and keep a load journal that actually helps

  • 17 Pistols Denied! Maryland Handgun Roster Meltdown & 7 Failed Appeals 🚨 | Urban Defense Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail

    Maryland’s Handgun Roster Board just shot down 17 semiauto pistols in ONE night—and when seven makers appealed, they all lost. In this fast-moving 25-minute episode of the Urban Defense Podcast, hosts Duane Urban and Andrew Saller unpack what happened, why it matters for gun owners and FFLs, and how a single missing board member changed everything. Additionally, Andrew talks about his legal challenge to these denials.

    🗂 Key Take-Aways
     17 denied, 7 appealed, 0 reversals—all because the Board needed six yes votes but only got five.
