Student of the Gun Radio
What does it mean to “fight with a rifle”? How important is training when it comes to success or survival? During our SOTG Homeroom we will consider how training will open your eyes. We have a Tech Talk from EOTech and this week we will discuss the importance of maintenance in regards to rifle or pistol mounted optical sights. Also, regarding maintenance, during our Froglube pro tip of the week we consider the cause of “sticky” or “gummy” actions. Lastly, how many times have you heard that it's okay for cops to have guns because they are expertly trained? A 37 year veteran police...
info_outline Hackathorn on Red Dots & Defending your Church | SOTG 1237Student of the Gun Radio
We brought back our friend and expert firearms instructor, Ken Hackathorn, to discuss red dot sights, specifically on handguns. Is a red dot sight on an everyday carry pistol an absolute necessity? What are the pros and cons? During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com, we will examine the recent attack on a noted bishop in a church in Sydney, Australia. This was the second mass stabbing attack in 48 hours. For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider capped/recessed adjustment knobs versus the external turrets.

info_outline Islamic Terrorists Drugged to Kill & No More Naked Guns | SOTG 1235Student of the Gun Radio
Once more, we have evidence that Islamic terrorists were drugged up on captagon, the poor man’s cocaine or “chemical courage” when they slaughtered innocent people in a concert hall in Moscow. The primary question you must ask yourself is whether or not you have the skill and mindset to stand between evil and the innocent. During our Tech Talk from EOTech, we will consider a brand new optic in the LPVO arena. EOTech will be releasing the new VUDU X line very soon. Keep an eye out for a video review. Also, for our SOTG Homeroom, we have a tragic incident to report. A young girl lost...
info_outline Moscow Concert Hall & Shark Attack; YOU are the First Responder | SOTG 1234Student of the Gun Radio
The terrorist attack at the concert hall in Moscow was horrible, but we have to examine it and learn from it. What can American citizens do and how can they prepare to deal with the threats that we are facing? During our SOTG Homeroom, from SOTGU, we will address a deadly shark attack. What could have been done differently? Could the victim have been saved? Whose responsibility is it to be prepared to save a life? Do you need an LPVO on your home defense rifle? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider that question in depth. Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope...
info_outline Carry your Medical Gear, Save a Life (SOTGU on the Road) | SOTG 1233Student of the Gun Radio
Do you have your medical gear on you at all times? If not, why not? We bring you a story today that might hopefully make you reconsider your stance on having medical gear readily available all the time. Because as Prof. Paul & Jarrad were on their way down to Texas, they were directly behind a rear-ending on the highway, and instantly THEY became the first responders. Speaking of Texas, SOTGU came to Texas and held the Martial Application of the Pistol class this past weekend! It was a fantastic event, and we’ve got an after action report for you to enjoy. And hey, if this conversation...

Prof. Paul and Jarrad are on the road to Tennessee to teach you hippies some classes! So to bide the time, we’re giving you the full, uncut interview that we did with Ken Hackathorn, addressing his internet breaking opinion about weapon lights. But not only that, as he and the Professor reminisce and lament about the State of Policing in the country today, and what it would take to get either of them to sign back up for that job. Spoiler Alert: You can’t afford it. So yeah, we have Ken Hackathorn on the show today, an internationally recognized trainer, to follow up on the discussion...

info_outline Wargaming the American Apocalypse: What Can You Do? | SOTG 1230Student of the Gun Radio
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. During our Tech Talk from EOTech, Professor Paul will consider flashlights and weaponlights. What is the difference between Lumen and Candlepower? Does it make a difference? Also, we have an SOTG Homeroom sponsored by Student of the Gun University. Paul and Jarrad will consider some controversy...
info_outline When Acorns Attack: Florida Deputy Shoots his Boot | SOTG 1229Student of the Gun Radio
A Florida deputy sheriff unloaded his pistol at his own patrol car after being startled by an acorn that dropped on the car roof. It gets better.

Another Ohio Sheriff has come forward to address the information and intelligence that was shared with senior law enforcement officials.
