The Gun Runner Podcast (TGRP)

Sarah joins me again as we talk to you about the skills we have selected to better ourselves in 2013. For many there are skills that we say, "Oh, that would be nice to know" or "If I know knew how to". Jack Spirko of The Survival Podcast and Five Minutes with Jack is spear heading an effort to get preppers more active in achieving there goal of skill development. This movement is called 13 in 13 Challenge and can be found at 13 Skills dot com.

In the wake of the tragedy of Newtown CT on Friday Sarah joins me to look at school safety. As educators and parents we have a little bit different prospective on this. For me I also look at this from the tactical standpoint of a Marine, but there are things that I have to consider before I act in these cases. We'll talk about most of that today. After the rough stuff Sarah and I will talk about her new handgun, called Spike.

What is the new round the will make the 5.56mm obsolete... Well none of these at least not any time soon. But there are some awesome rounds like the 6.5 Grendel or even the .458 SOCOM. We'll look at the most popular other rounds for my favorite platform and what they all offer and why it is that they aren't the ones that you want to rely on for the end of the world. There are a few basic reasons but why tell you here when you can just listen.

This is your show and, yes it normally happened on Fridays. Sarah joins me as we look at a number of your questions and comments,

Sorry to make waves but I have some things to point out when is comes to the NRA and what the media does to vilify our position. For those that don't know I'm a purist when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. For a very long time the NRA like a certain magazine claimed that guns were part of a robust hunting an sporting culture and that occasionally there was some need for self and home defense.

Hunting is as human as lying and stealing is to politicians. We think here in American that hunting is just ducks, dear and 6 ft tall Detroit Rats. There is a lot more top hunting than just wandering out into the wilderness with a rifle, a six pack and the one guy that you cant be with in five feet of with out talking to him. more than the original source of protein in the human diet there is far more to hunting than just killing. After all we have to remember that is is called killing and not hunting. Today's episode will look at hunting world wide after a small tease about zeroing for cold weather.

Today is that day... the day that belongs to the listeners. I'm going to answer you e-mails and address some of today's issues. We'll look at the slight hand behind the fiscal cliff. There is a great deal that people don't get about the truth behind money and how it's the single most dangerous thing to the American way of life. If this is not looked at seriously or it will lead to either WROL or EROL that is not the amusement part of some of our fantasy and zombie movies portray them to be. More sensitive is the topic of Women being in our regular combat arms. I'm going to look at this ins a few different ways and offer a realistic solution to the dilemma that is inevitable as we progress towards a more equal society. This may be a topic that is hard for some to hear but it needs to be talked about and looked at in a logical way. In you questions today we'll talk about old preban ammo, the constitution and some lasers stuff again.

Carrying a weapon is way more than just having a gun on your hip. We can also carry a rifle or a shotgun, we can do it in cars, we can do it on the street and all the while we need to remember that we are representing the entire firearms community when we are doing it. Today we are going to look at some ideas and considerations that we all need to have when it comes to packing

It is often popular to cast ones opponent in the shadow of evil. Communism and socialism being the to favorite of many in the Media. Today we will talk about what is what when it comes to some of these systems of government.

Owning the night is very hard to do but we can lease and what a lease it is. From flashlights (torches for those of you on the other side of the pond) to night vision we can be a powerful group in the night. Today we will talk about that and the anatomy of our eyes that we need to know about.

Hollywood and pop culture like to distort the truth about honest honorable men. The Marine Corps Scout Sniper is a favorite topic. Today I talk to one of my long time friends Sgt. Jared Proctor. We grew up in the Corps together and today He shares his experience as a Marine Scout sniper with you. This is a clean episode for those of you who have younger ones interested in reality. We digress a bit into our experiences.

When it comes to knowledge there is only so much that me can store in our heads. Also humans have a tenancy to forget This is why many years ago people started to write things down. The written word for eons has facilitated the passing down of knowledge from one generation to the next. Today is no different, great ideas and terrible ideas alike are immortalized in type. Today we talk about the importance of this concept to you the prepper and how to store, transport and why it is ever so important to have this knowledge.

As with most Friday's today I'm answering your e-mails. We talk about opting for the tactical high ground when being questioned, storing ammo, and some news analysis that might be a little different from what you'll get tonight at 5.

I have my favorite author of prepper porn Mr. Glen Tate on to talk about the post election dust up. We get a little depressing and a little motivated but it's a real undiluted down conversation about the real state of our nation and the struggle that two men are having educating the masses about that state.

As the number pf people signing petitions to secede from the US mount we need to take a little harder look at how things are. Today we look at the pattern that is forming and I will invoke the destroyer.
