China IP Block

Sorry if I actually have listeners from China but in the interests of server performance I had to block access from 2 Chinese IP blocks. 220.x and 123.x  They were just downloading the crap out of my stuff and killing me.  Sorry if there are legit users I will try to refine my block to just catch the offending servers.

Thanks,

Episode 38 – Centerfire Rifles

So the last scheduled episode in the self defense series and we are talking about centerfire rifles.  As always if you are not familiar with firearms GET TRAINING FIRST, you don’t want to kill or injure someone because you were an idiot.

As I state in the podcast centerfire rifles and pistol caliber carbines usually aren’t the best for home defense due to over penetration, etc.  You know I could write it here or you could just listen… so listen.

Ummm here is the podcast click on it and enjoy.

Episode 37 – Rimfire

Rimfire Firearms are great for many things, but they may not be the best choice for defense.  While there are other options when I refer to rimfire, consider that .22 cal.  Like I said above the mighty .22 may not be the man stopper but it is a great and cheap training tool.

As always, if you aren’t already familiar with proper gun handling and use please get trained first.  I will have links to training and bulk ammo below.

I don’t remember how heavily I emphasized it in the podcast but one of the best ways to build marksmanship is to use a single shot .22 and lots of practice. This is how you will develop proper and lasting technique that will last a lifetime.

BulkAmmo.com good ammo at cheap prices.  Check them out they seem like good people and I won a contest of theirs.  Their customer service was awesome x 2.  Remember you will need to practice a lot to become good.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this organization in the podcast but The Appleseed Project is a great travelling group that teaches rifle marksmanship at great prices.  If I recall correctly kids and women are free.  I plan on doing one of these classes this year.

More advanced training and tactical training is offered by James Yeager and his crew at Tactical Response, check them out.

Episode 36 – Concealed Carry

So in this episode I give a brief overview of  different kinds of handguns for concealed carry and self defense purposes.  As always don’t jump into firearms ownership without adequate training and research.  I’ll post some links at the end for training, but there may be a more local training opportunity.

Also with concealed carry most states that offer permits for concealed carry require a basic training.  I require a Defensive Pistol class, not just how to shoot, but how to shoot in a high stress environment.

Also remember when researching firearms beware of the inherent polarity of opinion involved and apply a generous BS filter.

Ep 35 – Shotgun!

No this episode is NOT about the Duran Duran Song…. This is about the best home defense weapon available.  The shotgun is the most versatile weapon available period, and in most cases the perfect home defense gun.  The shotgun combines power, fear factor, and ease of use in a nice affordable package.  Seriously anyone who hears the KaChink of a pump shotgun will vacate any property that they were not invited onto.

Please get trained, check out TACTICAL RESPONSE or a local provider for your firearms and tactics training. (I have no business relationship with Tactical Response, I just respect their opinions and methods.)

Hey you are gonna need to practice right, get your bulk ammo from BULK AMMO dot com.  My only relationship with this company is that I won a contest that they sponsored, they don’t even know I posted this… Surprise!  Good people there.

Ep 34 – Intro to guns

So the next episode in our Self Defense “Mini Series” – an introduction to guns, in this episode I describe some of my philosophy on owning guns, using guns, concealed carry etc… you want me to sum it up?  GET TRAINING!

Still totally tired and just busting out a show because they are late, so I’m keeping the chit chat to a minimum.

Important links, I get nothing out of these other than satisfaction.  In Fact they probably have no idea that I am posting links to them.  All I have to say is “you are welcome” 😉

Ep 33 – ACT!

There are times in our lives when we need to act, I discuss some times when I have hesitated and I feel bad.  So when the opportunity to act appears you should be prepared.

I’m too tired and this is late as heck so no long intro, just listen to the podcast for cryin out loud.

EDIT:  Add Link to my Youtube video of my First Aid Kit that I promised.

Ep 32 – Humans are Animals 2 – The Environment

After a post and spirited exchange on Facebook from a friend that is worried that “Humans are ruining the earth”, I recorded this rant/viewpoint about why we really need to be environmentalists and what we are really hurting.  I get a bit ranty and emotional on this one so be prepared for a show unlike any other I have posted before.

No links for this one, cause my Amazon stuff may get canceled due to the messed up government of Illinois.

Episode 31 – Pepper Spray (Self Defense Series)

Todays episode will introduce our self defense mini-series and focus on Pepper Spray as a viable defense.  I discuss WHY you need to defend yourself and average police response times.  I will help dispel myths regarding people who can resist pepper spray.  Pepper spray is the next best defense for those who will not or cannot carry a firearm.
