The Gun Runner Podcast (TGRP)

(Be Advised! This is explicit!) This episode is a supplement to The Survival Podcast Episode 1122. I did this because Jack and I go stuck on a point and there were a few things that I wanted to get to but we couldn’t. As my regular listeners know I will occasionally burn the midnight oil and get a show out at the sacrifice of my sanity and that is what I did here. From the basic premise of compulsory national service I will go through the hyper sensitive nature of our new American culture and the impact of zero tolerance and what a POG is. There is a deadly impact of the lack of parenting and adequate community in our society and it is costing lives. The hard questions of what is missing and who are our leaders needs to be addressed and it needs to be done so with urgency and attentiveness. Yes, this ties back to the militia and yes I did all night on it but I hope the picture comes out clear for all of you.

The loyalty to the M-14 is as old as the argument about 7.62 versus 5.56... well in fact just as old since it was  started when the M-16 replaced the 14. Though the M-14 was the shortest lived service rifle of the 20th century and in fact the shortest lived service rifle of the U.S. military it none the less is important to the story of the military's development over the last fifty years.

Today we start of looking at the lessons that we need to learn from last week. The reality is that what happened in Boston is a glimpse into the everyday of places like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria. America has been very fortunate when it comes to   acts of terror. As those that carry weapons to face evil we also need to carry implements that can begin the healing process and help to preserve life. This is new kind of show incorporating your calls as well as emails so I hope you all enjoy.

We've overcome the Gun Dudes jamming and have made contact with the ever elusive Glen Tate. The author of the 299 Days series is a close friend and someone who's perspective on the world I've come to respect a great deal. With all that has happen this last week i thing that we could all use a little bit of Glen. Now keep in mind that Mr. Tate does not have the most... sunny of dispositions today but that might have something do do with where he's calling from but that would be a guess.

This is just a few shades cooler than having you gun sitting on the night stand or a few mags in the cupboard just in case something goes bump in the night and you have to bump back. Tactical wall allows you to not just store firearms and ammo in critical locations in your home but also to camouflage them.  The systems are designed to accommodate most carbine sized rifles and a wide variety of pistols. These items are not a safe but help bridge the gap between the safe and quick ready access in multiple location in you home. Think of it as concealed carry for you house allowing you t have spare mags, shot gun shells and even a rifle handy away from you safe, bedroom or man cave.

The velocity of the America's government is getting far to great. there is not longer any subtlety to it. All that remains is the brute force is all that the bullies in Washington D.C.  have to use. But long ago a group of enlightened men created protections from this kind of problem. When the Constitution was crafted there were certain provisions placed into it such as the checks and balances that are suppose to exist. Each of the three branches acting as a checks on the other but that is not how things have turned out in the last few years. Where the pace of government is much shower as we have entered a down turn in the course of our nation the speed with which things are progressing. There are many miss understanding about the authority that the federal government has that authority ends with the 9th and 10th Amendments and this needs to be passed on up to those who believe they reign over us.

In the series that addresses the service rifles of the 20th century We come the the M1 Garand. There is more to this rifle than the sum of it's parts or it's development. It along with a collection of other weapons would help create the most robust fighting force in the world. The Garand saw a great deal of action as a stand alone weapon but more than that the Garand was part of a combined arms team on the fire team an squad level that has persisted to today.

Since food is one of the essential elements that we need to survive. Today along with the many problems that we have with the things that are done to and put into food as well as the supply chain that America and a number of other nations have adopted. Today the podcast will go into not just this but also look into food storage, homesteading for freedom and how a person or family can plan and use food storage to save money. This episode focuses on everyday food because that is what most people will be familiar with. There are long term store-able food that can and should be part of one's preps but for the person just getting started this is easier to get a hold of. The rule is that one should eat what they store and store what they eat.

Water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. It is in short supply from the deserts of Africa to the dwindling waters of the Ogallala Aquifer (Running out of Water) . There is a need to understand what is happening with water in our world and the ways that we can make it work for us. The is surprisingly little water on earth and it is so rare that NASA invests billions looking for signs of it on other planets when looking for life.

After my appearance on our local radio station I wanted to do a little bit of community outreach to the people of Grays Harbor Washington. The station is 1450 am and 94.7 fm KBKW. The show is call Coffee Talk and is quite the show. The host Doug McDowell invites leaders of the community and other local commentators on to the show to talk about topics that concern the county and the communities within the county. From Sheriff Rick Scott to little old me there guests are invited to help better the community and the show is an excellent forum to that end. Originally I came onto the show to talk about guns and their roll in our communities through some of the same topics that I have brought to my regular listeners in the past but due to the direction that came up the last time I was on the air I decided to dedicate and entire two hour episode to the topic of prepping in my community. I will do one or two more episodes specifically on this because as a podcaster I am not forced into time constraints as talk radio hosts are and this is a good way to get the information into the community.

I've started the a page looking at the four gun battery and this is a look at the other four kinds that aren't covered in the battery and how they can fit into your preps and what their functions are. From the .22 LR, BFGs and Battle Rifles to the other kinds of specialty guns that we all love and want.

This is two quick talks with two of my favorite guests Glen Tate and Jason Curns. Glen will have a weekly segment with me here on the air and Jason well Jason and I take the temperature of the industry.

Next in the series of service rifles of the 20th Century is the Springfield Armory M1903. This was the rifle that for the first time saw all three primary armed forces utilizing the same service rifle. Prior to this the Army and the Navy (USMC shared the same weapons) each had separate platforms and separate calibers. The 1903 gave birth to the 30-06 which would spawn everything from the .270 up to the .300 Magnums.

History is full of events that are twisted over time due to time and distance. From the beginning to now there is much of the past that we have not forgotten about but has changed over time through constant retelling. From the beginnings of the Bible to the Battle of Thermopylae and to the settling and founding of The United States. This has continued with more recent events in our history.
