What’s up with the 10mm Auto cartridge? Professor Paul will discuss the history of the 10mm Auto in the United States, where it was and where it is today. How can you choose the right ammunition for the job? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider building the “perfect” prairie dog rifle. From what kind of distances can we really expect to shoot? What optic combination would seem to be the perfect “Goldilock” solution? Also, for our SOTG Homeroom this week from SOTGU, we consider the new book from Nicholas Orr, A Pipe Hitter’s Guide to Strength & Wellness.  You are the Operating System for whichever gun you choose.

Today we have none other than John Willis from Original SOE Gear as your guest. Never a person to hold back, John will talk about preparation, resilience, business, rabbit poop, chickens and more. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will discuss zeroing red dots and magnified optics as well as answering one of your questions on air. And, we solve the mystery of the missing battery. For our SOTG Homeroom this week we have a New York Times article to consider. The Times has discovered that some “Professional Citizens” are training with guns, radios, and night vision. We are not sure how they feel about that.

Paul and Jarrad are back from their extended training trip to Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee. During that time they had the opportunity to conduct some low light / night shooting. What was unique and what lessons were learned. We dive in during the Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. During our SOTG Homeroom, we had a sad story to report. Nonetheless, the lesson is an important one. You don’t get to decide when you are going to have the worst day of your life, someone else will decide that. All you can do is be prepared to deal with it. Finally, Professor Paul wrote an article for Shooting News Weekly regarding the question; What’s it going to take to get people to take traumatic medical training? We don’t have all the answers but we do have some.

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. Knowing and understanding the Deadly Force Checklist could be the difference between victory and disaster if you are ever put into a position where you are required to use a firearm to defend your life. We examine the Case of the Tacqaria Robbery in Texas. 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 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? Additionally, SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com, we will discuss in detail the 4 Rules + 1 safety briefing. How could this save your life or that of another person? Paul Glasco is on the show with us to talk about his new book “How To Make A Monster: A Sensible Look At Rampage Killers”. In this discussion, 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? Professor Paul & Jarrad are on the road teaching classes this week, so we’re looking back on some of the highlights of 2024!

Training ammo, particularly 9x19mm, is back and it is available and affordable. During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU, Professor Paul will discuss the ammo situation in the United States and address the lies people tell themselves. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will take a close look at the new VUDU 3-9x32 “Super Short” riflescope. What is this all about? Might it be a tool that could enhance your shooting experience? “All hat and no cattle” is a phrase bandied about in the west. Does that phrase apply to some members of the gun community? We’ll discuss it and you can decide.

Everyone has Red Dot Fever now. Are optics on handguns the end all be all? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider the ins and outs of modern optics on handguns. Recently, Shooting New Weekly published an excerpt from an article written by Professor Paul regarding shooting games and whether or not playing games prepares us for the realities of life and death encounters. Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from Student of the Gun University, Paul will discuss the ongoing discussion about “point shooting” versus “aimed fire”. Can you teach yourself to point shoot? Sure. Does that apply to 95 percent of the deadly force scenarios you may encounter?

During our SOTG Homeroom we have a positive story. Rather than become yet another in the ranks of long forgotten victims of crime, a 14-year-old Kentucky Teen defended his family's home when two armed home invaders broke in. Also, for our Tech Talk this week from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will discuss a fast way to get on paper when you need to zero a 1:1 optic such as the XPS sight. What exactly is a “fantasy gunfight” and is that a positive thing or a negative? We will consider training, specifically scenario-based training and how that benefits those who carry a firearm for self-defense.

An important court decision and a victory for Americans versus an overreaching government bureaucracy was just handed down. Franklin Armory and FRAC were plaintiffs. We have Jay from Franklin Armory and Travis from FRAC as our special guests to discuss that decision and much more. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will consider the importance of tactics versus marksmanship. When it comes to fighting for your life, which is more important? Additionally, we have an SOTG Homeroom for you from SOTGU. Are you carrying a compact revolver? Have you considered carrying one? Paul wrote an article recently that examines that topic in detail.

Student of the Gun University has a Beyond the Boo Boo Traumatic Medicine and Team Tactic class coming up in east Texas. During our SOTG Homeroom, we will once more address the importance of being properly trained to save a life. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will examine something a bit different. Today we consider the “sharp” part of the Fundamental Four. Oh, Canada! We have two different stories from the Great White North. We have life imitating art and then a socialist politician trying to threaten President Trump. Professor Paul has a message for our friends up north.
