Liberal Gun Owners & Mid-Range Rifles | SOTG 1278

Biden Loves Jihad & Coyote Shopping | SOTG 1274
Student of the Gun Radio
Following the orders of his masters, Joe Biden has continued on his path to do everything he can to damage the United States before he is ejected from the people’s house on January 20th. Rather than put terrorists in custody on trial, they are instead releasing them into the wild with a promise to behave. During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com, we relate another wild animal encounter. This time it was a coyote in a supermarket. What advice did the Bambi Police have for us after this encounter?

How can you determine what training or techniques are “tacticool” and what ones are practical? Our SWAT Fuel Warrior of the Week has a question about that very thing. Professor Paul, having 30 years of experience as a trainer, has some answers for us.
We have another Quiet Time Moment for you from SilencerShop.com. This week we will discuss another piece of recommended reading. This book will help you to read better and get more from your time and studies.
Finally, Paul and Jarrad will consider the issue of applying the same solution or taking the same actions, despite the fact that those solutions have previously failed and the actions have been ineffective.
