    S14E10: Justified Saves-When the Fight Comes to You

    If you prefer to watch the video you can find it at the bottom of this webpage. Episode Sponsors: CCW Safe KSG Armory Holsters About This Episode: Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are back with another round of Justified Saves. Before the stories, the guys take a moment to acknowledge Thursday’s tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon. Then it’s into two cases where the shooter had a way out: an Arizona driver on an I-10 off-ramp, and a Memphis homeowner who walked outside at 4:40 in the morning to check on his Jeep. The back half is about the fight coming to you. A shopper steps in when a woman is beaten in a Dollar General aisle, a 77-year-old woman is attacked while feeding stray cats before dawn, a homeowner takes the day off after a break-in, and a Texas father is cornered in his own bedroom with his family behind him. Riley and Jacob break down the legal exposure, the tactical decisions, and why you own every round you fire. Tune in so you don’t miss!

    S14E7: JUSTIFIED SAVES – Shooting at Shadows

    If you prefer to watch the video you can find it at the bottom of this webpage. Episode Sponsors: CCW Safe HK About This Episode: Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are back with another round of Justified Saves, and this one has a theme neither of them went looking for. A Florida homeowner fires through a closed front door. An Arizona homeowner fires at a shadow near a window. A Virginia father blocks in a delivery driver over a speeding complaint while his kids watch from the yard. And a Tulsa business owner draws his gun during what started as a conversation about a repossessed truck. Four cases, four very different endings, and one uncomfortable question running underneath all of them: did you actually know what you were shooting at? Then the guys turn to the saves – a bank customer who steps in when a robber pulls a knife on the tellers, a man who comes back to a house he’d been thrown out of earlier that day and punches his way through the door, and a woman in Broward County who had nowhere left to go. Riley and Jacob break down the legal exposure, the tactical decisions, and the moments where each of these was still winnable. As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

    S14E6: Legislative Updates-The NFA Isn’t Dead, And Why That Should Bother You

    If you prefer to watch the video you can find it at the bottom of this webpage. Episode Sponsors: Concealed Carry Gun Tools App: The #1 tool for concealed carriers on your phone. Check laws, maps, and stay informed with a great app on your phone. BarrelBlok: In those moments you need to be sure your gun is clear; BarrelBlok it. About This Episode: Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are bringing you our Legislative and Legal Updates episode — and August may have been the single biggest month for gun law in decades. Two federal courts struck down long-standing rules, the DOJ reversed a decades-old position on carrying in post offices, New Mexico’s waiting period finally died, and the FBI quietly released a crime report that nobody on the other side seems eager to talk about. California, meanwhile, just sent three more bills to the Governor’s desk. But the big one is the NFA. You’ve seen the headlines saying it’s dead. Riley read the actual court order, and it isn’t — not for most of you. He also thinks the Justice Department made a serious mistake in how it handled the win, and that’s the part almost nobody is talking about. Jacob pushes back. Tune in so you don’t miss!

Episode Sponsors: CCW Safe – CCW Safe is a self-defense coverage provider that helps cover legal costs if you’re ever involved in a self-defense incident. All the training in the world sharpens you for the fight itself — CCW Safe is there for the legal fight that can follow. Visit https://www.concealedcarry.com/ccwsafe to learn about their coverage options. Defense After Dark Online Course – Today’s episode is also brought to you by Defense After Dark, our online course built around a reality most training ignores: the majority of violent encounters happen in low light. If this episode has you mapping out your next class, this is a great one to add to the list — learn to identify threats, run a light, and defend yourself when you can’t see clearly. About This Episode: Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen step off the range and into the classroom — because signing up for a training class is the easy part; actually getting your money’s worth out of it is another story. Whether you’re booking your very first class or your fifteenth, this episode breaks down the habits that separate the students who walk away transformed from the ones who walk away with a certificate and not much else. We get into how to choose the right class for where you actually are, what to do in the days before you ever set foot on the range, the mindset that makes instruction stick, and the step most students skip entirely once class lets out.

    S14E4: JUSTIFIED SAVES – Our Take on the In-N-Out Shooting

    If you prefer to watch the video you can find it at the bottom of this webpage. Episode Sponsors: CCW Safe – CCW Safe is a self-defense coverage provider that helps cover legal costs if you’re ever involved in a self-defense incident — and as you’ll hear today, even a shooting that gets ruled justified can still mean an arrest, an investigation, and a long wait to find out whether you’ll be charged.

HK-USA – Today’s episode is brought to you by HK-USA — Heckler & Koch, makers of some of the finest firearms in the world. When you need a firearm you can count on for personal defense, HK delivers. About This Episode: Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen have a lot to unpack–and this month, all eyes are on Twin Falls. From a road-rage confrontation that turns into a hard lesson on drawing against an unarmed attacker to a lunchtime rescue nobody saw coming, this episode is packed with real-world defensive gun use stories that test the limits of what you think you know about self-defense. We dig into the tactical trap of the “unarmed but advancing” threat, a homeowner who’d already been targeted more than once, and a self-defense claim a grieving family is fighting out in public. Plus: our full take on the In-N-Out shooting — what the armed responders got right, what’s still up for debate, and the split-second decisions worth studying long after the headlines fade.
