    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!

    S14E5: Top Ways to Get More Out of Your Next Training Class

    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. All the training in the world sharpens you for the fight itself — CCW Safe is there for the legal fight that can follow. Visit ccwsafe.com 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. As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com! Thanks for Listening! Thanks so much for joining us this week.

    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. Visit ccwsafe.com to learn about their coverage options. 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. Tune in so you don’t miss! As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

    S14E2: Shot First, So He Fired Back – This FedEx Driver’s Justified Save

    If you prefer to watch the video you can find it at the bottom of this webpage. Episode Sponsors: CCW Safe – https://www.ccwsafe.com HK – https://www.hk-usa.com About This Episode: Riley Bowman sits down with Jarrel Cappell, a FedEx courier whose ordinary delivery run turned into a fight for his life. Jarrel did everything he was “supposed” to do during an armed robbery — and was shot anyway. What he did in the seconds that followed is a masterclass in mindset, training, and the will to keep fighting when you’re already hurt. We walk through that night, the long road afterward, and the hard-earned lessons every armed citizen should take to heart. This is a Justified Save you won’t forget.

    Episode Sponsors: Happy Birthday America Sale (details coming soon) Guardian Nation – https://www.guardiannation.com About This Episode: We look back at the events leading to the American Revolution, focusing on British attempts to control arms and ammunition and the growing tensions caused by taxation, the Boston Tea Party, and the Coercive Acts. We cover General Thomas Gage’s actions in Massachusetts, the powder alarm of September 1774, and how quickly the militia responded when British authority moved against stored powder. We then discuss Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, including Paul Revere’s warning, the fighting at Lexington Green, and the British retreat to Boston under attack. We also touch on the siege of Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the arrival of George Washington and Henry Knox, linking these events to the founders’ view of an armed population as a check on tyranny.
