BULLET POINTS

Walker’s SHOTSYNC Wearable Shot Timer The Walker’s SHOTSYNC is a wearable shot timer designed for shooters, utilizing an integrated microphone and advanced accelerometer sensors to track shot counts and split times during training sessions. It pairs via Bluetooth 5.2 with the Walker’s Link app for iOS and Android, allowing custom par times, start delays, shot sensitivity adjustments, and automatic performance tracking. Compatible with various firearms from pellet guns to full-power competition calibers, it provides instant feedback and builds a personalized performance history.02

Burris XTR PS Riflescope The Burris XTR PS Riflescope is a precision optic featuring a digital Programmable Elevation Knob (PEK) with 1/30 MIL adjustments, Bluetooth integration with the BurrisConnect app for ballistic profiles, and a digital HUD displaying dial-to-distance, wind holds, density altitude, angle compensation, and a digital level. It uses a 5.5-30x56mm configuration with a first focal plane SCR 2 illuminated reticle, ED glass, and remains fully functional as a traditional scope without battery power. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum with a 34mm tube and IPX7 waterproof rating.

Blue Force Gear BNVD Slipcover The Blue Force Gear BNVD Slipcover is a signature management accessory designed to cover reflective lenses on Binocular Night Vision Devices (BNVDs), reducing detectability from glints during tactical operations. It slides over NODs for daytime use, adds virtually no weight, and doubles as a face-shade while integrating with the BNVD Pouch. This addresses the heightened importance of signature management against advanced adversary optics.

Hunters HD Gold Shooting Glasses Hunters HD Gold shooting glasses, produced by Optical Prescription Lab, feature in-house Trivex lenses that are lighter and stronger than plastic or polycarbonate, offering 43% greater light transmission for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Available in prescription and non-prescription variants with lens options like Original Gold, Hunters HD Ruby, and AktiveBlu, they support custom fitting for nearly any frame brand. The company emphasizes competition shooting support with on-site services at matches and a 30-day trial period before payment.

THE ALLEY

GOING BALLISTIC

Grand Rapids, Michigan Mayor David LaGrand’s Anti-Gun Comments and NRA Response (Savage) Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand made controversial statements shaming lawful gun owners during a community meeting on policing, prompting backlash from the NRA. He equated gun ownership to smoking and called for community shaming around possession. The mayor later clarified that Second Amendment and state law limit municipal policy options, with no changes intended.

National Constitutional Carry Act (Senator Mike Lee) (Savage) Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act on March 5, 2026, to eliminate concealed carry permit requirements nationwide for eligible U.S. citizens legally allowed to own firearms. The bill prohibits states and localities from imposing fees or conditions on public carry and protects interstate travelers from criminalization for carrying. It builds on Supreme Court precedents like Bruen (2022) to establish a federal floor superseding restrictive state laws.

Minneapolis Firearm Ownership Increase Following 2020 Events (Shooting News Weekly) (Savage) The article attributes a shift in attitudes toward firearms in Minneapolis to the 2020 protests, riots, looting, and ‘defund the police’ movement, leading to reduced police staffing. This has resulted in higher gun sales and wider firearm ownership, including among liberals and white left-leaning homeowners who previously supported police budget cuts. Minneapolis is described as overwhelmingly Democrat, with policies likened to those turning it into ‘the next Chicago.’

Wyoming HB096, HB0098, SF0101: GOA-Backed Gun Rights Bills Face Potential Veto by Governor Gordon (Savage) Three Gun Owners of America (GOA)-supported bills—HB096 (lowers concealed carry permit age to 18), HB0098 (criminalizes state/local enforcement of Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders), and SF0101 (adds civil remedies to 2022 Second Amendment Protection laws)—passed the Wyoming Legislature and await Governor Mark Gordon’s decision by March 10, 2026. These measures aim to bolster Second Amendment protections by deterring compliance with federal gun controls. GOA urges immediate calls to prevent vetoes.

Colorado House Bill 26-1144: Bans 3D-Printed Guns and Parts (Savage) House Bill 26-1144 criminalizes the manufacturing or production of firearms, unfinished frames or receivers, large-capacity magazines, or rapid-fire devices via 3D printing in Colorado. It also prohibits selling or distributing digital instructions (computer files) for 3D printing such items, expanding on existing laws for unserialized firearms. The bill passed the Democrat-controlled Colorado House and awaits Senate review.

REVIEWS

Review: Clip That 5 stars. Best gun podcast around.. clip that… I’d give up Shawn’s left nut before I miss an episode. Listening to this is the only way I can get through the work day…

Clip that

Review: All Dicks, No Chicks 5 Squares. Such a progressive group of guys in the gun industry. Its shocking to hear how Homo Positive and Bi Curious the cast is. Normally Gun podcasts aren’t inclusive or understanding of other sexual preferences. But the cast of WLS is always talking about mouth feel of barrels, Sweet Sweet Bootyholes and putting things in the prison purse. So modern. If you are curious (bi-curious) about this show, give it a listen. All of your load shooting needs will be met and heard via 5 somewhat knowledgeable ear pussies. #wls #jeremyhadtoreadthis

Review: Ben 5 stars. The show has definitely gained some braincells since A A Ron left. Keep training or whatever, please. I’ve got enough things day to day that frustrate me so getting a break from it during the show is a welcome change
