    Your Weapon Is the Last Resort: A Marine Raider on Readiness, Family & Freedom | American Legion 100

    American Legion 100th Anniversary Special Hosted by Corey Schonhorst & Cam Janssen with guest Keith Waldrop (Marine Raider, Co-Founder—Asymmetric Solutions) What does real readiness look like—for your family, your community, and a free nation? In this American Legion centennial conversation, a 9/11-generation Marine Raider sits down with Corey and Cam to get practical about situational awareness, de-escalation, and why a weapon is always the last resort. It’s honest, grounded, and built on service. What We Cover Keith’s path: small-town Missouri → Force Recon → Marine Raiders → Asymmetric Solutions The 9/11 generation: unity, service, and what it taught us about resilience Shooting vs. fighting with a firearm—stress, environment, and responsibility Home scenarios: why your goal isn’t to “clear the house,” it’s to barricade and protect what has a heartbeat Public settings: reading behavior, de-escalation first, and understanding crowd dynamics Travel safety: simple steps (like registering with State Dept. alerts) that most people skip Female-specific self-defense and building true confidence (not fear) Myths, movies, and “sprinkles of truth” in military storytelling A candid detour: UFO chatter, curiosity, and critical thinking Why It Matters—American Legion 100 For a century, the American Legion has stood for veterans, families, and freedom. Readiness isn’t paranoia—it’s stewardship. This episode honors that legacy with level-headed training principles that empower everyday Americans to protect what matters most.

Confidence comes from training and calm.” #AmericanLegion #AmericanLegion100 #Veterans #Service #MarineRaider #ForceRecon #AsymmetricSolutions #CamJanssen #CoreySchonhorst #SituationalAwareness #DeEscalation #HomeDefense #TravelSafety #FemaleSelfDefense #Community #Freedom #Podcast Follow Punchline Productions https://www.instagram.com/punchline_productions_314/ https://punchlineproductions.co/
