For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc this week we have a question. What is an FRT? After a years-long criminal campaign to target an American gun company, the Federal government has ceased their unlawful persecution of Rare Breed Triggers and been forced to admit what we have known all along, FRTs are NOT machineguns. Also, are Americans preparing for the worst? Fox News recently did a news piece where they traveled to Gunsite Academy in Arizona to find out why people are taking training. What the hell is an “ungun”? During our SOTG Homeroom, we will consider the plethora of...

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.

When you carry medical gear on your person (like you should), you will often run into people who ask "Well are you certified? Are you certified to use that stuff?!"
Well, with this card, you can say that you are!
From www.nssf.org:
Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the world, NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, today makes the difficult announcement that the 2021 SHOT Show has been canceled.
NSSF has remained in constant communication with Nevada officials throughout the year in our planning for the 2021 show. While there has been a concerted effort to expand the allowable levels for large gatherings by the county and state, with positivity rates peaking during our key planning period we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 show.
