Shooter in McAllen, Texas & Your Left Hand | SOTG 1299

info_outlineToday we have the privilege of being joined by Alex Bosco, the CEO of SB Tactical and the originator of the pistol brace. Paul, Jarrad, and Alex will address the history of the pistol brace throughout the last eight years.
We will also explore the current situation with Q and their Honey Badger rifle caliber pistol. Has the BATF overstepped their authority once again? Has that bureaucracy once more done a complete 180 and reversed itself? How are firearm manufacturers supposed to operate with no guidance and the constant fear that a three-letter agency will arbitrarily change its mind?
Alex will explain to us just how he and others are fighting against this arbitrary and overreaching action by ATF. We will also remind you about how you can help. If you only listen to one episode of SOTG this year, this should be the one.
Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us:
Enjoy the show! And remember…
You’re a Beginner Once, a Student For Life!
