Shooters Nation Podcast

In this first episode of a two-part series, we discuss the current state of affairs (circa 2019) of the National Rifle Association and begin with a history lesson. This sets the stage for the second part of the series wherein we will discuss what WE can all do to fix it.

We discuss the spectrum of modifications that you can make to your Glock handgun for carry, duty, or competition. We discuss which ones make sense and which ones don't. We also discuss our recommendations from experience, as well as mods we'd avoid.

David and Mark are joined again by their friend Brad Jones and catch up on the latest new guns, gear, and whiskey that they've acquired and sampled over the past few weeks.  You're invited to join us as we talk about some of our favorite things and just spend time hanging out and catching up in the middle of what have been some extremely busy months.

We are joined by Jacki Billings - Shooting Editor at GUNS.COM and frequent contributed to RECOIL online and print publications, NRA Shooting Sports USA, ConcealedCarry.com, USCCA Concealed Magazine, and many others. This conversation spans a wide range of topics including: How Jacki got started in firearms journalism, Upsetting companies with critical reviews, Jacki's favorte part of the industry, Gun safety at home with kids, Concealed carry for women - especially moms, and much more!

In this episode we dissect the issues of race relations inside of the Second Amendment Community, why it is relevant to ALL gun owners, and what we as a group should be doing to focus on the common denominator -- the Right to defend ourselves from acts of aggression -- and stop being divided by man-made differences.

David and Sandy are joined by Kevin Dixie for wide-open full-throttle discussion about firearms, the Second Amendment, the Right of ALL of the People to be armed, restoring families and healing communities, strength through diversity, and keeping the government in check and in its lane.  Kevin is an energetic, passionate man on a mission and we loved having him on the show.  We are thrilled to bring this conversation to you and hope that it motivates you to make a difference in the world around you.

David, Sandy, and Mark talk about the 2019 NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM) in this episode and share what they thought about Indianapolis, the event venue, the manufacture and vendor exhibits, and of course the DRAMA that erupted from the NRA meetings.  What did they like about the show?  What made them shake their heads?  Listen and find out!

In this very short, special episode, David has a message for attendees of the 2019 NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM) being held this week in Indianapolis, Indiana. David and Mark will both be attending NRAAM and would love to meet up with you!  Whether you are an exhibitor or an attendee, we'd love to shake your hand and chat with you about the podcast, the NRA Annual Meetings, and hear firsthand why the Second Amendment is important to you.

This episode is all about YOU, the Listener!  We review the results of the Spring 2019 Listener Survey and go over what YOU think about the show.  We also talk about the upcoming NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, and discuss our plans for what we'll be doing at the show.  If you're there, we hope to meet as many of you in person as possible!

Ladies rejoice!  Noel from the very popular Instagram account @ConcealedCarryWoman joins David and Sandy for her first appearance on ANY podcast to talk about the woman's perspective of carrying a firearm and adopting the armed lifestyle.  Noel's mission is to prove to women that they CAN be armed and STILL dress like a woman, by using a series of daily photos showing her doing exactly that.

David and Mark are joined by firearms industry expert and renowned training instructor, Rob Pincus.  In the wake of the March 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand terror attacks, Rob chats with us about active shooter situations, protecting yourself should you end up in one, and offers some thoughts on how society could better work to curb the trend of these spree killings.  This is not a conversation to miss!

David and Mark are excited to bring you this conversation with Dave "Boon" Benton and Bill Orndorf about Vehicle Defense concepts for both civilians and Law Enforcement Officers.  Commonly called VCQB, which is perhaps a misnomer, this episode explores the art of fighting from within and around a vehicle and how it's more relevant to your life than you might think.

In this episode, David and Mark are joined by Ian Strimbeck of Rune Nation to discuss the things that do, and should, motive each of us to be better shooters, teachers, students, Second Amendment advocates, and protectors.  As you listen we hope you think about what fuels YOU in your pursuits, and we hope that you will contact us after the show and share your own stories with us.  We might just bring you on as a guest in the future!

In this episode, David is joined for the second-time ever by his wife, Sandy, and they discuss the topic of sharing the shooting hobby and armed lifestyle with your significant other.  Topics include date nights at the shooting range, how to introduce a new shooter to firearms, whether it's smart to try to instruct your significant other, getting training together as a couple, and war-gaming your home defense plan.  This episode has it all!

In this episode Mark gives us a rundown on new and exciting guns and gear from the 2019 Shooting Hunting and Outdoor (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas. We talk about the new Archon Stryk-B pistol, the FN 509 Midsize pistol, and many other new products!
