Islamic Terrorists Drugged to Kill & No More Naked Guns | SOTG 1235
Student of the Gun Radio
Once more, we have evidence that Islamic terrorists were drugged up on captagon, the poor man’s cocaine or “chemical courage” when they slaughtered innocent people in a concert hall in Moscow. The primary question you must ask yourself is whether or not you have the skill and mindset to stand between evil and the innocent. During our Tech Talk from EOTech, we will consider a brand new optic in the LPVO arena. EOTech will be releasing the new VUDU X line very soon. Keep an eye out for a video review.

Moscow Concert Hall & Shark Attack; YOU are the First Responder | SOTG 1234

The terrorist attack at the concert hall in Moscow was horrible, but we have to examine it and learn from it.

God, Guns & Guts: Protecting Houses of Worship | SOTG 1228
Student of the Gun Radio
You might not have heard of the recent attack at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. The national media is not excited and Democrats are not pushing gun control because good people with guns prevented a massacre by a bad woman who had a gun.

(Corrects after company clarifies combined revenue of $500 mln seen, not $600 mln, in 4th paragraph)
CZG-Ceska Zbrojovka Group said on Thursday it would acquire group Colt Holding Company for $220 million and CZG shares as the Czech gunmaker expands in the larger U.S. market.
CZG, whose firearms include CZ (Ceska Zbrojovka), Dan Wesson and Brno Rifles, is active already in the United States and building a factory in Little Rock, Arkansas.
From www.thetruthaboutguns.com:
A crazed man’s rampage came to a not-so-sudden end Saturday morning in Montgomery County Maryland, and a bystander caught it all on video. After striking a lone deputy twice with a long stick, the attacker took a dozen rounds while still advancing on the officer.
It looked like the stuff of nightmares. The attacker looked more like a college professor with his sport coat and khaki pants than a would-be cop-killing lunatic. The wicked grin on his face added a freaky, horror-film feel as the man just kept advancing on the retreating deputy. That was after he broke a long piece of wood with a couple of blows over the deputy’s forearm.
