Shooting is Mental - 702 01/03/2023

Shooting is Mental - 702 Gun ownership requires responsibility. There is more mental energy required than just owning a gun and shooting it recreationally. (that is what I mean by Shooting is Mental) Training will save you money and save your life. Seek some before you buy and you’ll thank me. Firearm ownership is not for everyone but it should be for anyone who has not given up his or her right to do so. Buying a firearm should be an educated decision not an emotional one. Shooting is mental because you have to navigate fact from fiction, and hype from reality. You have to make some judgement calls. You have to train your brain not to do what you have seen on TV or on social media. You have to make decisions that are literally life or death. Am I prepared to defend myself? Am I ready to go through with what is coming after I stop a bad guy? Can I handle the political foolishness? Have I been on the right side of this thing? Who do I believe now? Where do I get training from? Who is legit and not a mall ninja? Shooting is mental. These days everybody is an expert. Who do you trust to teach your family? Are you going to become a competitor? Going to start a club? Going to join one? Then there is the racism, sexism, separatism that is HUGE in this community. Us vs them. If you aren’t careful you’ll get sucked up in the foolishness. Yeah I said it. Foolishness, it’s one of the reasons after 30 years of gun rights activism you don’t see me at conventions and events. Below are a list you will probably see each time you go to a public range, learn them. A more in depth reason for them will follow. 1. Treat all guns as if they were loaded. 2. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. 4. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it. 5. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting. 6. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting. 7. Don't alter or modify your gun, and have guns serviced regularly. 8. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 9. Use correct ammunition. 10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm before you use it. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Thank you for hanging with me to my long time listeners and friends. The show is back if you'll have me. Let me know either way. email me at Are you prepared for floods? Natural disasters? Hint hint. Dog theft is a new thing. And although none of us can bear the thought of our family pets going missing, leaving them miserable and at risk, around 40% of all animals reported lost have actually been stolen. According to the stats, over 60% of these are tragically never recovered. Support You can give back to the show at How are you going to defend yourself if threatened while walking your dog? Last month was Suicide Prevention month. I’m just here to remind you that you still matter. You’re not alone.

Hotlines in the U.S. All hotlines listed below are free and confidential. 800-273-TALK (8255) The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is open 24 hours a day, every day. Services are also available for veterans, and for Spanish speakers. 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. While some areas may be currently able to connect to the Lifeline by dialing 988, this dialing code will be available to everyone across the United States starting on July 16, 2022. When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary. The current Lifeline phone number (1-800-273-8255) will always remain available to people in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, even after 988 is launched nationally.

How To Make Money with Guns | Episode 14 05/16/2022

How To Make Money with Guns | Episode 14 It’s been a month since the last episode and I want to give you an update and some personal information about myself so that you know what is going on. How to make money with guns The title may be a little on the click bait type side of things but I am going to share actually some things I have seen or tried and see if you know of someone that has done it too. There is nothing new under the sun and maybe you can do a better job at it. I want to really thank the people that have followed this show for more than a decade and those that support it through monthly donations through I know its not the best platform for supporting a show but you have been faithful and it helps me. I also want to thank you for supporting me personally through my recent struggle and even those that have donated through GoFundme. My wife will freak out when she finds out we had a campaign but despite my reservations, it was a Godsend. That first bill in February could have taken me out. If you want to contribute to the family gofundme thing for my wife. I am paying $400 a day for her right now. This week I shared that I am going through depression. It is only temporary. I am learning and working through it. I created a new YouTube channel to help people called I'm here to let you know that you matter. I heard that one person can change your life. I don't know if I'm that one for you but together we can make a difference. There is a lot going on right now and sometimes one person gets lost in the noise. I have protected people all my life. I'm an veteran of many groups that experience depression, trauma and loss on a regular basis; military, law enforcement, and clergy. I’d appreciate it if you’d help me make Spoon a thing. I started a new YouTube channel for Spoon. Will you help me reach my first 100 subscribers? Here’s the national hotline for suicide prevention 1-800-273-8255 for the record, if you need it.

Saving | Episode 11 Prior Proper Planning Pays Off Saving money in the shooting sports Update on my wife: Not A Sermon Unless you are wealthy, recreationally shooting is expensive. The firearm can cost $400-$4500. Range time for indoor ranges is $15-25 an hour. Ammunition, targets, and safety equipment vary. If you are on a budget, good with your money or want to save a few dollars here are some tips that will help you do that. This will be the first in a series, I will provide for you from time to time. You don’t like blowing money do you? Firearms, pistols in particular are almost impulse buys. They are advertised by movies, screen heroes and the cool kids wherever they are these days. Range fees have stayed the same for the most part but there are so many new shooters now that it is now unheard of to have an hour wait to use an indoor range. Believe it or not, that wasn’t the case just a few years ago. Ammunition increased during the Trump years and hasn’t returned to normal. Your gun food is important. Back in the day, when firearm tolerances varied and you had to get gunsmiths to “work” out the rough edges and give love to a handgun just so that it was consistent, ammunition was crucial. Not all guns worked well with all the brands and grades of ammunition available. It is a little less the case now although you will find out that with practice, there is some ammo that works best for you. Different loads, bullet weights, etc. in your firearm do different things when you are behind it. You won’t know that from the box or necessarily from the recommendation from your shooting partner. Depending on your shooting schedule, goals, type of firearm, I suggest you buy your ammo in bulk. I’m talking about 1000 rounds of practice ammo. And 100 rounds of self-defense stuff. At the onset, 1000 rounds seems like a lot but if you are shooting a semi-auto handgun that has a ten round magazine because you live in one of THOSE states like I do. And you have three magazine that’s 30 rounds. They sell the good stuff at 25 rds a box typically so you might pay $21-49.00 a box of 25. Practice ammo- seller & ballot, Winchester, magtech, blazer, Remington, federal Ear Pro, eye pro and targets, Invest in a range bag an Emergency Personal Injury Kit (EPIK) a rapid-application tourniquet. eye and ear protection. a notebook and pen (for recording your rounds fired and perhaps notes on your training and performance) a cloth for wiping down your firearm and magazines after training. If you get tired, learn to rest, not quit.Success if being able to continue just one more time after failing or falling.As crappy as things are for you right now, they will be the good old days for your kids, nieces and nephews.Somebody. This is a little update on the situation. If you have been following me for the past ten months you know that my wife had a brain tumor removed that incapacitated her. The family has been devastated. Last Friday, after recovering from being bedridden, and having pneumonia (twice), two blood clots, and fungal meningitis, she had surgery to relieve pressure in her brain. God clicked the switch and she is talking again. She’s almost 100% back mentally. She wants to eat and was able to swallow water. It’s amazing and so God! Make sure you have health benefits. Get long term care insurance. Have someone that will advocate for you if you can’t speak. Visit the sick. Believe and worship God. He is worthy! Thank you for your prayers and friendship. Thank you for supporting us. Your friend and brother from another mother, Kenn https://blanchardnetwork.com Sponsored by: /episode/index/show/urbanshooter/id/22547663
