Be a Good Victim: Traitors in Uniform | SOTG 1032
Student of the Gun Radio
Be a good victim or be a good witness, both of these are synonymous and go together. Oakland, California has a new Chief of Police or 4-Star General, we are a bit confused by that. We will consider this situation during our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters. The Oakland Chief has some advice for dealing with out of control crime; “be a good witness”. Yep, that will stop criminals. If history has taught us anything, it is that giving in to criminals reduced crime. Or does it? During our Brownells Bullet Points segment, we will once more go to the Emergency and Survival Gear...

Indiana Gun Permits and Sonny Puzikas | SOTG 1029
Student of the Gun Radio
Representatives in Indiana are attempting to eliminate the requirement for a “gun permit” and institute a Constitutional Carry system that follows the Bill of Rights. Not surprisingly, there are some who oppose liberty and the rule of law. For our Warrior of the Week question, we ponder, does the government have the authority to hold Constitutional Rights hostage and then ransom them back to the people? Do you support a state-sponsored extortion program? We have a special guest interview for you as well. Our friend, Sonny Puzikas; bodyguard, actor, and small arms instructor has an...

From Deprogram to Demonize: Get on the Train | SOTG 1026
Student of the Gun Radio
First, the mantra was to deprogram Trump voters and anyone unwilling to accept the media lies. Now we have moved to demonize anyone who questions the state. Where have we seen this before?

Baby Bug Out Bag and African Church Attack | SOTG 1023
Student of the Gun Radio
Reports are coming out of Africa about a church attack in Ethiopia where hundreds have been reportedly murdered. Where is the US Media? The MSM loves mass murder. Why are they ignoring this story?

Haunted by childhood memories of Saigon during the 1968 Tet Offensive, Frederick “Cork” Graham hatches a harebrained scheme in the spring of 1983. He withdraws from his first year in college and uses his school funds to purchase photography equipment and a plane ticket for Thailand.
After harrowing events in search of a first big story along the Laotian border, Graham takes to sea and is imprisoned by the Vietnamese.
