Happy New Year! Let's jump start 2021 the right way, with a list of lessons we all should have learned in 2020. Join Overwatch Precision's AJ Whisler, Skillset Magazine's Ben Tirpak and I as we discuss the good, the bad and what you should be doing to have a safe and prosperous 2021.
The newest manufacturing victim of the ATF's nonsensical attacks is Polymer80. They have been producing ATF-approved 80% receivers since 2015. Last week, the ATF raided the Polymer80 headquarters and seized a "Buy, Build, Shoot" pistol kit, receipts, and customer lists. According to the ATF, the kit is a "firearm" because it is "readily convertible". I sat down to Mike Mills of Tactical Considerations to discuss the process of building your own firearm from a Polymer80 receiver and what Americans can expect from the ATF if we don't speak up now.
2020 has been a challenging year for us all. We've been through civil unrest, lockdowns, and waiting for the presidential election results. So why not treat yourself this holiday season? Make it rain! You absolutely d
1Many years ago, I quickly discovered what the term "gun bunnies" meant. Typically, they were scantily clad women posing with guns with little to no firearms knowledge. Now with social media booming, "gun bunnies" have transformed into influencers with much farther reach and exposure than real female shooters. In this episode, we welcome Paige Roux, also known as "Some Chick Who Shoots" on social media, who manages a shooting range, instructs, and is also a makeup/nail enthusiast. She joins Skillset's Jason Swarr and I to chat about whether "gun bunnies" are a necessary evil in the firearms industry.
Actor and 2A supporter, Isaiah Washington joins us this week as we celebrate the 100th episode of Center Mass! Listen in as we chat about his adventure in the firearms industry, Hollywood hypocrisy and the drama surrounding his new movie, “Corsicana”. Huge thanks to Troy Industries, Elftmann Tactical, Charger Arms, and Sonoran Defense for supporting our 100th episode giveaway! Winner is announced on this show!
Since the start of the pandemic, the firearms industry has been working non-stop. This week, CZ-USA’s Daniel Holder and I discuss how wild 2020 has been for gun manufacturers and what that means for you, the consumer. Will it ever get back to “normal”? Tune in to hear our predictions as everything is riding on the presidential election. Also, we announced the 100th Episode Giveaway!
On a dark and cold night in 2017, Thomas Yoxall's life changed forever. While driving on a desolate stretch of Arizona highway, he observed a man viciously beating a highway patrolman on the side of the road. Fearing for the officer's life, Thomas pulled over, drew his firearm and eliminated the threat. Listen in as Thomas vividly describes that fateful night and the emotional aftermath that ensued.
Q's "Honey Badger" and several other models have recently come under attack by the ATF for being "designed to be shouldered", even though they come with an "ATF Approved" SB Tactical pistol stabilizing brace. This week we sit down with Jason Swarr and Ben Tirpak of Skillset Magazine to discuss the ramifications of this attack and what this means for Americans during this crucial election. Also, tune in for a sneak-peak of a special give-away announcement!
After a heavy weekend of competing in separate major events, AK Mario and I sat down this week to debrief the chaos. While he was in Texas shooting the famous "Kalash Bash", I shot the A Girl and A Gun "Fall Festival" and Babes with Bullets 3-Gun Challenge in the deep south. Tune in to hear the challenges and triumphs of these two Arizona-based shooters competing across the USA.
Tony Simon, the founder of "Diversity Shoot" and 2A4E (The 2nd Is For Everyone) Podcast, joins the show to discuss the 2A views of SCOTUS nominee, Amy Covey Barrett. Is there a possible concern? Also, listen in as we chat about Thomas Yoxall, the Arizona hometown hero (and ex-felon) who saved the life of an Arizona State Trooper.
This week I sat down with Jason Swarr from Skillset Magazine to chat about the future of the 2nd Amendment. Listen in to this "no holds barred" conversation as we cover presidential candidates, our local senate race, Cardi B, Black Rambo, and the Antifa / BLM "peaceful protests". There is so much riding on this election, we need to vote as if our Second Amendment depends on it.
This week we welcome Tony Simon, the founder and host of the "Diversity Shoot" and 2A4E (The 2nd Is For Everyone) Podcast. As a part of the first generation born with equal rights in America, he has been on a mission to expose citizens of all colors, religious preferences, and sexual orientations to the 2nd Amendment.
After spending several days in California, I had the opportunity to observe the infringement of the 2nd Amendment firsthand. I was denied buying ammo due to not being a resident of the state and not having a firearm registered in the caliber of the ammo I was trying to buy. Appalled by this, I brought in Scott Folk, the Chief Operations Officer of the once California-based company, Apex Tactical, to discuss why the Golden State is a screenshot of what America will turn into if we don't get out there and vote this November.
Amidst the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest, there are people working towards their "American Dream". Is the dream still alive? International AK legend, Jim Fuller, Skillset Magazine's Jason Swarr, and I sit down to chat about the dissolution of the "American Dream" in today's volatile climate. Listen in to hear Jim open up about his departure from Rifle Dynamics, the birth of Fuller Phoenix, and growing up during the Civil Rights movement.
This week, we sit down with local police officer, Mike Black, about the defund the police movement. What will happen to your community? What will happen to the black community? What about the gun industry? We cover all of these things and how you can be your own "first responder" in this weird world we're living in.
Since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, Travis Haley has laid relatively low when it comes to voicing his opinions on the current situation in America. Well, that's all about to change. This week we sit down with the former Force Recon Marine and talk about the validity of the QAnon movement, the Gregory Wong incident, civil unrest in our streets and child sex trafficking. This is NOT a show to miss!
This week Jason and Ben from Skillset Live jump in as guest hosts to discuss the recent negligent discharge by the citizen militia group, NFAC. Did the lack of firearms safety just discredit their movement? Will they ever be considered a legit civilian military under the current leadership? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
The great thing about this country is that civilians of all backgrounds have the right to protect themselves especially during the uprising in civil unrest. Have you thought about body armor? Most people think that only police and the military have access to armor. Nope, you can too! Today, I have Mason Miller, a Research and Development (R&D) Team member of AR500 Armor, to chat about body armor and why it's a great investment.
With the rise of civil unrest and unprovoked attacks, I sit down with Tom Toth of Concealed Carry Insurance Services, to discuss self defense insurance. As a family man, veteran, and 2nd Amendment advocate, he goes in-depth regarding the legal ramifications of self- and home defense incidents.
In the tragic wake of his recent death, Ursula Williams and the Skillset Magazine editors take a moment to reflect on what Frank DeSomma of POF-USA has done for the firearms industry. The man was an innovator, mentor, leader and most of all....a true friend. We invite you to join our conversation and celebrate the life of a true American patriot.
