    Tom & Korey Discuss DMX

    Korey and I discuss DMX and the many ways in which his influence was felt in rural white communities. We discuss racism in those communities, and we discuss homophobia in Black communities and the ways in which the roots of that are tied to Americas systems of violence against Black men.

    Tom & Ashley

    Join us as we sit down with Ashley from Illuminati Slumber Party and discuss the parallels and intersections between serial killers and mass shooters. Along the way we discuss the isolation of American society, white entitlement and privilege, and the cultural reasons for violence from white men. We also talk about ways that Pornhub can vastly improve, and how white men can self-evolve and become more comfortable with their own emotions.

    State of the Podcast

    Handy With Handguns is going to become a seasonal podcast, taking a break during the Spring and Summer, and returning over the Fall and Winter. This allows for more production time, better episodes, and more time for me to do the things that I need to be doing within my own community, like mutual aid and firearm training.  But it's not over yet! We have a series of new episodes coming in the upcoming weeks discussing Hip Hop in rural spaces, and the impact that DMX had on rural culture. And then, a season finale episode on a whole other topic that is still under wraps! In connection to this episode check out CrimethInc.com and The Red Dot District Podcast.

    Tom & Erika Discuss Pepper Spray

    This week Erika and I discuss what Pepper spray or OC spray is, and why I highly recommend that folks include it in their personal, home, and community defense plan. An edit for this entire episode: at multiple points I say "capsaicins" and what I'm referring to is the Major Capsaicinoid (MC%) content of OC sprays. I'm bad at using the correct words for things.  Content Warning: Discussions and descriptions of abuse and violent situations.

    Tom & Jacob

    This week we focus our discussion around religion and mental health as they pertain to firearm ownership and violence. During the course of this, we touch on recent mass shootings, militias, politics, personal growth, and trauma. We discuss our own mental health, how we have factored mental health into our firearm ownership, and why building mental health mitigation into our firearm ownership plan is a necessary part of responsible firearm ownership.  Content Warning: discussions of intrusive thoughts, mentions of combat related PTSD In connection to this episode check out The Homeless Gospel Choir and The Red Dirt Collective.

    Tom & Mieke Discuss Anarchism

    Join us this week as we discuss the common misconceptions regarding Anarchist political theory, and discuss the relevance that Anarchism has within the existing rural American culture. We talk about Anarchism across history, the Russian Revolution, and resources where folks can learn more about leftist political theory and history.  We also depart from discussions of theory, and discuss a resurgence in mutual aid projects in our communities, and a possible renaissance of leftist political movement in America. We explore the natural phenomenon of folks helping one another in times of crisis and need.  We discuss the need for uniting leftist ideologies in dismantling the police state, and the difficulties in providing necessary community services without replicating systems of oppression and policing.  In connection to this episode check out, TheAnarchistLibrary.org , Crimethinc.com , The Oklahoma Peoples Party, The Brown Berets, and The Autonomous Defense Network of Oklahoma
