State of the NRA w/ Isaac Demarest & Lubing your Shotguns | SOTG 1243
What is truly going on with the NRA leadership? We have Isaac Demarest, an NRA Board Member, with us today to discuss the changes taking place at the National Rifle Association.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech, Inc., Professor Paul will consider the importance of understanding offset. What is offset and how does it apply to a firearm with an optic? Also, we have a Froglube Pro Tip for you. Shotguns need lube too. How much and where should you put the lube?
Finally, during our SOTG Homeroom from SOTG University, we have a new friend, Tim Evancich, who will tell us about the patriotic, educational programs that have been implemented at his children’s school.

A number of special guests joined us, including Paul Glasco, author of “How to Make a Monster: And Why No One Cares”. Mr. Glaso explains factors that tie all of the recent rampage killers together. What facts has the mainstream media deliberately overlooked or flat out lied about?

Gun Control Gestapo Silent on Philly Bus Stop Shooting | SOTG 1241
Did you hear about the “mass shooting” in Philadelphia? We are willing to bet that unless you live in Pennsylvania, you did not. You might ask yourself why? The media loves blood in the streets and they love pushing gun control, why bury this story?
How much scope is too much scope? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc we consider the pros and cons of high powered optics.
Does Gun Control make you safer? Are countries that restrict gun ownership “safer”? For our SOTG Homeroom we will address a horrific story from Mexico where unarmed tourists were murdered for their truck tires.

From www.foxla.com:
The slayings of two Australian brothers and their American friend while on a surfing trip in Mexico are "eerily similar" to the murders of an elderly San Diego couple in the Mexican state four years ago, a private investigator told FOX News Digital.
Ian Hirschsohn and Kathy Harvey, a retired couple in their 70s, were killed in their vacation home in El Socorrito, a tiny beach town in Baja California, in the summer of 2020. This case immediately came to mind for Jay Armes III, who specializes in kidnappings in Mexico and works cases all over the world.
According to prosecutors, Hirschsohn and Harvey were stabbed to death during a home invasion by a man who stole their bedding, according to a statement by the Baja California Attorney General's Office.
They were reported missing by family members on Sept. 2, and their bodies were discovered two days later dumped in a well in a remote area of Ensenada, about 90 minutes south of the U.S.-Mexico border. Hirschsohn’s daughter identified the suspect as a member of the family that owned the ranch where her father’s vacation home was located.

From 6abc.com:
Philadelphia police have arrested a fifth suspect in connection with a SEPTA bus stop shooting that injured eight students.
Investigators have said they would be arresting more than just the four primary suspects.
During a press conference on Thursday, police announced the arrest of 15-year-old Jeremiah Jefferson, who investigators said helped four others carry out the mass shooting on March 6.
"We now have evidence that he was in communication with the people inside that car," said Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.
The four other suspects, who are also in police custody, were seen on video exiting a dark-colored vehicle before the shooting began. They have been identified as 17-year-old Asir Boone, 19-year-old Jermahd Carter, 18-year-old Jamaal Tucker and 18-year-old Ahnile Buggs.

From www.bbc.com:
A police officer accidentally fired his gun on the Columbia University campus while clearing pro-Palestinian protesters from a building on Tuesday, the New York Police Department said.
No one was injured, and the bullet was found in a nearby wall. The matter is being investigated, city officials said.
Police arrested 112 protesters this week after college leaders sought help clearing the Manhattan campus - a move that fractured the school community.
The NYPD held a press conference on Friday to address the issue, following days of criticism for not announcing the incident when it happened three days prior.
"Accidental discharges happen every single year and we average about eight a year and we don't get request [for information] on it," NYPD spokesperson Sergeant Tarik Sheppard said.

Police in Pennsylvania said that a man tried to murder a pastor at a church in North Braddock on Sunday while he delivered a sermon to his congregation.
Police said that 26-year-old Bernard Junior Polite entered the Jesus Dwelling Place Church a little after 1 p.m. EST and “attempted to shoot the pastor as he was giving a sermon.”
“Polite pointed a firearm at the pastor, attempted to shoot, but the firearm failed to discharge,” the statement said. “A congregation member took immediate action by grabbing onto Polite. The member and the pastor were able to subdue and disarm Polite. Polite was held until Troopers arrived.”
The statement said that charges were filed for attempted homicide.

2A Sanctuary in Michigan & Tennessee Arms Teachers | SOTG 1239
A township in Michigan has declared itself a 2nd Amendment sanctuary and has invited all of the adult citizens of said township to become members of a citizens’ militia. Besides the Bill of Rights, is the existence of the militia codified by law in the United States?
During our SOTG Homeroom from Student of the Gun University, we will examine the new law allowing teachers and school staff members in Tennessee to be armed at work. Tennessee is not the first state to arm teachers, though, based upon the behavior of the leftwing lunatics you would think this move is unprecedented.
Also, during our TechTalk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will address the use of a .22 rimfire cartridge as a primary self-defense tool. Is the .22LR the “best choice” for women or older Americans?

Fighting with a Rifle & Cambridge Cop’s Gun Just “Went Off” | SOTG 1238
What does it mean to “fight with a rifle”? How important is training when it comes to success or survival? During our SOTG Homeroom we will consider how training will open your eyes.
We have a Tech Talk from EOTech and this week we will discuss the importance of maintenance in regards to rifle or pistol mounted optical sights. Also, regarding maintenance, during our Froglube pro tip of the week we consider the cause of “sticky” or “gummy” actions.
Lastly, how many times have you heard that it's okay for cops to have guns because they are expertly trained? A 37 year veteran police officer had a negligent discharge in a school bathroom and then blamed the gun.

From www.nbc4i.com:
A lieutenant was shot and killed on Tuesday during a “tragic accident” at the Corrections Training Academy in Pickaway County.
Rodney Osborne was fatally shot just before 11 :30 a.m. at the academy’s tactical firing range, according to Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction director Annette Chambers-Smith. Osborne had served with the department for 13 years and worked at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Scioto County.
“This appears to have been a tragic accident, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating,” said Chambers-Smith. “We ask that you keep Lt. Osborne’s wife, children, loved ones, and team members in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
Osborne was part of the facility’s honor guard and had been named employee of the year just last week. He was also a member of the special response team and the statewide special tactics and response team. The highway patrol has yet to announce what led to the fatal shooting.

Hackathorn on Red Dots & Defending your Church | SOTG 1237
We brought back our friend and expert firearms instructor, Ken Hackathorn, to discuss red dot sights, specifically on handguns. Is a red dot sight on an everyday carry pistol an absolute necessity? What are the pros and cons?
During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com, we will examine the recent attack on a noted bishop in a church in Sydney, Australia. This was the second mass stabbing attack in 48 hours.
For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider capped/recessed adjustment knobs versus the external turrets. Which one is the best choice for you? Also, we have another Pro Tip from FrogLube.

From www.bbc.com/news:
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a bishop and several churchgoers were stabbed during a sermon in Sydney.
The incident happened on Monday evening at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in the suburb of Wakeley.
At least four people were stabbed but police said none of their injuries were life-threatening.
The incident triggered unrest as hundreds gathered outside the church, clashing with police - two of whom were injured.
Vehicles were damaged as people threw stones, bricks and bottles and, according to Reuters news agency, police fired pepper spray.
Witnesses said the people gathered were demanding for the attacker to be brought outside.
Police said they had responded in numbers to the incident and urged the public to keep away from the area.

Spring Cleaning & VUDU X from EOTech | SOTG 1236
The sun is finally out and it is time for spring cleaning. During our Froglube Pro Tips segment we will consider the term “CLP” and how it applies to keeping our guns clean. Also, we have a way for you to save money as well.
For this week’s Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider another new optic in the Vudu X line; this one is a 2-12x40mm rifle scope. What is the best way to learn how to use your rifle/optic combination?
Finally, being a prepared person is never a bad idea. Regardless of the potential disaster or crisis, we will always recommend that you are carrying the fundamental four each time you step out of your front door.

Islamic Terrorists Drugged to Kill & No More Naked Guns | SOTG 1235
Once more, we have evidence that Islamic terrorists were drugged up on captagon, the poor man’s cocaine or “chemical courage” when they slaughtered innocent people in a concert hall in Moscow. The primary question you must ask yourself is whether or not you have the skill and mindset to stand between evil and the innocent.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech, we will consider a brand new optic in the LPVO arena. EOTech will be releasing the new VUDU X line very soon. Keep an eye out for a video review.
Also, for our SOTG Homeroom, we have a tragic incident to report. A young girl lost her life because someone chose not to use a holster and carry a naked gun. Please, please, please, stop carrying naked guns.

Dearria Radley was just 13 years old when she took her last breath. The teenager died Saturday after she was shot in what police called an accidental shooting. “It hurts so much. Oh God, Jesus.”
In a sit-down interview with News 2, DeAnn Radley made it clear how hard it was to hold back her tears.
“Losing her. Losing her. No parent wants to bury their child and this is hard; it is hard and my heart is broken in a million pieces. It’s very hard. I just want to hold my baby,” DeAnn said.

ISIS terrorists turned themselves into fearless killing machines by drugging themselves before the Moscow massacre, it is understood. The drug - a favourite of the terror group known as chemical courage - disables fear, allowing its fighters to kill without any unease.
Blood tests showed traces of the psychotropic substance, news outlet Baza - which has sources in Russian law enforcement, reports. The drug, known as Captagon pills, was previously used by Hamas brutes before they unleashed their barbaric assault on October 7 in Israel.
Four masked gunmen stormed the venue in Moscow on Friday night before showdown hundreds of innocent concert-goers.

Moscow Concert Hall & Shark Attack; YOU are the First Responder | SOTG 1234
The terrorist attack at the concert hall in Moscow was horrible, but we have to examine it and learn from it. What can American citizens do and how can they prepare to deal with the threats that we are facing?
During our SOTG Homeroom, from SOTGU, we will address a deadly shark attack. What could have been done differently? Could the victim have been saved? Whose responsibility is it to be prepared to save a life?
Do you need an LPVO on your home defense rifle? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider that question in depth.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:
As if we needed still another example of the dangers of creating gun-free zones, especially among a largely disarmed populace, we now have last night’s attack by rifle-wielding Islamic State terrorists on a Moscow concert hall.
As in all of these situations, initial reports are frequently confused and incorrect in their details, but something known as ISIS-K, based in Afghanistan and Turkey, carried out an assault on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall concert venue apparently killing scores of people and setting the building on fire.
The New York Times puts the number of dead at over 60, but a later AP report quotes Russian officials claiming current number 133 dead with many more wounded.
Several camouflage-clad gunmen opened fire at a popular concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow on Friday night, killing about 60 people and wounding more than 100, Russian authorities said, making it the deadliest attack in the capital region in more than a decade.
Hours after the mayhem began, the Russian national guard said its officers were still looking for the attackers. State media agencies reported that there had been up to five perpetrators.
As gunshots boomed through the building containing the concert hall, one of the largest and most popular music venues in the Moscow area, fire erupted in the upper floors of the structure, and the blaze intensified after an explosion, causing the roof to collapse.

Do you have your medical gear on you at all times? If not, why not? We bring you a story today that might hopefully make you reconsider your stance on having medical gear readily available all the time. Because as Prof. Paul & Jarrad were on their way down to Texas, they were directly behind a rear-ending on the highway, and instantly THEY became the first responders.
Speaking of Texas, SOTGU came to Texas and held the Martial Application of the Pistol class this past weekend! It was a fantastic event, and we’ve got an after action report for you to enjoy. And hey, if this conversation tickles your fancy, then why not join us for the next class?! https://SOTGU.com
One of Paul’s friends from his days as a feared mercenary, Shane, also sat in on the conversation, and dropped some pearls of wisdom for you to consume. Listen up, hippies!

All students who enroll in the Martial Application of the Pistol, the Martial Application of the Rifle, or the Martial Application of the Shotgun residency classes will receive a complimentary box of 9x19mm training ammunition from DoubleTap Ammo to use in class.
This is the Flagship class at SOTGU, you should take this class FIRST when training with us. Understanding that physical skills are perishable, dedicated students take this class 1x per year.
The Martial Application of the Pistol program is designed to give you an in depth and thorough overview of the pistol or handgun as a fighting instrument. In order to accomplish this task, we will consider some of the history of the modern fighting handgun as well as to apply the most important question: what is our goal?
What do we hope to achieve or accomplish? It is only by examining and considering our mission, purpose, and our goal that we can undertake the task of learning and expanding our education and skill. We have endeavored to meet and exceed those criteria through the Martial Application of the Pistol program.

Ken Hackathorn on Lights & the State of Police | SOTG 1232
Prof. Paul and Jarrad are on the road to Tennessee to teach you hippies some classes! So to bide the time, we’re giving you the full, uncut interview that we did with Ken Hackathorn, addressing his internet breaking opinion about weapon lights.
But not only that, as he and the Professor reminisce and lament about the State of Policing in the country today, and what it would take to get either of them to sign back up for that job. Spoiler Alert: You can’t afford it.
So yeah, we have Ken Hackathorn on the show today, an internationally recognized trainer, to follow up on the discussion we started last week in regard to lights on handguns. There is much more than a one minute video short on YouTube.

Wargaming the American Apocalypse: What Can You Do? | SOTG 1230
No intellectually honest person can argue that we have allowed the United States of America to be put into a terrible, dangerous position. Hard times are coming. The question we address is what can each person do about that? We will talk about controlling those things that we can control.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech, Professor Paul will consider flashlights and weaponlights. What is the difference between Lumen and Candlepower? Does it make a difference?
Also, we have an SOTG Homeroom sponsored by Student of the Gun University. Paul and Jarrad will consider some controversy regarding weapon mounted lights and whether or not they are a good idea.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:
We would hope that the crash of AT&T services on Thursday 2/22/24 served as a wakeup call or at least as a lesson for the American masses. We are far too reliant on technology that can break down at a moment’s notice.
The first cover story for the incident was a solar flare, but that did not stand up to any close scrutiny. Next up was the accidental human error story. AT&T was supposedly conducting a normal, scheduled upgrade and the system collapsed. Oops!
In Europe, where Washington, D.C. does not control their media, observers are stating that the AT&T outage has all the signs of a cyberattack. In other words they think the system was hacked.
Whether you choose to believe that or not, it’s interesting that within the last two weeks we have been treated to multiple reports where US intelligence services have warned about continuous hacking attempts against our communication grid.

When Acorns Attack: Florida Deputy Shoots his Boot | SOTG 1229
A Florida deputy sheriff unloaded his pistol at his own patrol car after being startled by an acorn that dropped on the car roof. It gets better. The supervisory sergeant joined the deputy in shooting his cruiser. Oh, did we tell you there was a handcuffed suspect in the car? Certainly there are some lessons to be learned here.
Another Ohio Sheriff has come forward to address the information and intelligence that was shared with senior law enforcement officials. What is the realistic threat facing the people of the United States? What can be done by every adult in America to prepare for this threat?
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Optics, Professor Paul will address aging eyes and changing vision. How can we use technology to make our lives better and ensure success when it comes to the employment of arms?

From abcnews.go.com:
A Florida deputy is seen firing his weapon repeatedly at his patrol vehicle after mistaking the sound of an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot, according to video released alongside a sheriff's office investigation.
Newly released body camera footage of the November 2023 incident shows the dramatic moments the Okaloosa County deputy shot at his patrol vehicle while a handcuffed suspect was inside.
"I'm hit! I'm hit!" the deputy, Jesse Hernandez, can be heard yelling, though no one was shooting at him.

God, Guns & Guts: Protecting Houses of Worship | SOTG 1228
You might not have heard of the recent attack at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. The national media is not excited and Democrats are not pushing gun control because good people with guns prevented a massacre by a bad woman who had a gun. We are going to focus on the lessons we can learn about how to protect houses of worship.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider the “dot in the circle” reticle on the HWS optics and how you can use this purposeful design to your advantage. Also, during our FrogLube tip of the week, Jarrad will tell the best way to lube it up and get the job done.
Have you enrolled in Student of the Gun University? We have numerous classes scheduled in Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. The best part is that you can enroll in an upcoming residency course but you can start learning right now.

Invaders Attack Cops, Laugh About It | SOTG 1227
The United States of America is a joke to the invaders who are infesting our nation. Witness the recent incident in New York City where 5 illegal invaders attacked two police officers. The criminals were released without bail and then they laughed and flipped off the news cameras.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Optics, Professor Paul will address optics on handguns and the common issue of “I can’t find the dot.” How do we fix this issue and make the most of your gear?
Also, we have our Homeroom segment brought to you by www.SOTGU.com. How important is vision to shooting? Do you know which eye is your dominant one? Not everyone has the same vision level.
