Riding Shotgun With Charlie #243 Tonya Franklin   Back in 2020, Tonya reached out to me. She was very involved with her local politics and wanted to talk about how the news on the “pandemic” was nonsense. She’s been in the medical field and may have been helping folks get a medical exemption to the vaccine. She’s also a gun instructor who offers NRA and USCCA courses as well as medical courses, which is her background. Growing up in Illinois, I was taking several trips to visit family and friends. On a recent trip, I was able to make plans with Tonya and catch up with her. ...

Danny Ferrantion Show/WTAG December 5, 2025 Danny & I talk about the man in the UK who was arrested for a social media photo of him shooting a shotgun in Florida. Tennessee is starting to teach gun safety in public schools starting this year. Everything is age appropriate.  Mass shooting are down. Is it because of Constitutional Carry/Permitless Carry?

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #242 Tom Knighton Bearing Arms, Writer   The first time I met Tom Knighton in person was at a Florida Carry event in 2021. But we’ve done a number of episodes of the Polite Society Podcast, where I was a co-host and he was a guest. Then there were a number of times when we did The Daily Bullet as co-hosts. Tom is a great guy and writes at Bearing Arms. We had a chance to film a show at the NRA Annual Meetings in Atlanta this year.    Tom grew up in Georgia and has been around firearms his whole life. Growing up in a city, he’s still pretty...

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #241 Jeff Boren Boren Training Solutions   It was by chance that I was able to connect with Jeff Boren. I wanted to do a show in Arkansas and reached out to Ed Monk (RSWC #222). Since I’ve already had him on the show in Boston, I was looking for someone else. Ed suggested Jeff.  I reached out to a complete stranger, asked if he’d be on the show, and he said yes. Although Jeff is in Mississippi I’m glad it worked out. As the saying goes, “I’d rather be lucky than good.”    Jeff took an interest in firearms at a young age. As a child of...

#235

Evered Douglas, Yasuke Fett

Black Powder Podcast

 

At SHOT Show 2025, I met Evered in passing. I was doing a show, someone slipped his card into my pocket, and said reach out to this man. We started following each other on the socials. At NRA AM, we had a chance to film a show. 

 

Evered didn’t get into firearms until he was a father and going through a divorce. He realized that the layout of his place wasn’t necessarily the safest. There was potential for some he said/she said going on. So it was time to pursue getting a carry permit in Georgia. 

 

His first purchase was a Mossberg 88 shotgun. Maybe not the best choice, but we all start somewhere. We’ve all been “tactically frugal.” He said he went all “Amazon tactical” buying things like a scope and a light to put on the gun. He admits “this is why you got to research and study.” His first trip to the range with the Mossy was a bit embarrassing. He wasn’t sure how to hold it so he ended up putting it under his armpit. 

 

This is how he started down the rabbit hole to see that rights are being taken away from us. His taste in gear has also matured since then, too. He moved to a Canick and a Ruger handguns.

 

One of the goals that Evered has is to become an instructor. After his divorce, things were tough. His daughter was only 6 months old when that happened. He wasn’t getting enough time with her.  But  he’s looking into getting certified by either the NRA, the USCCA, or by NAAGA. He has been helping some friends get into firearms and helping them along their journey.  Taking other courses as a student has helped him get through the hard times that affect divorced people. 

 

Georgia is a permitless carry state, but they still issue permits. Back when Evered was getting started on his firearm journey, he still needed to get a permit and there was a learning curve for that, too. 

 

The Black Powder Podcast is mainly focused on black society and firearms. He takes the name from a cartridge. The fans are the powder. The bullet is the message he’s putting out. He ignites the fans to get the message out. He dropped his first episode on Sept 11, 2020 as a reminder of how we all came together as a country.  It was a good year for new beginnings with all that was going on. And thus, a good time to get the new gun owners from 2020 into the fold and learn about firearms, safety, and how and when to use them. Since SHOT Show, he’s gone from just an audio podcast to adding video, which he drops on Mondays. 

 

Before Black Powder Podcast, he was doing Warbound Radio. It was more towards video gaming. But he plans on rebranding that and bringing it back as a men’s positivity podcast. Going through his divorce, he became much more aware how the family court system leans toward the mothers and not the fathers. 

 

This past year was Evered's first year at SHOT. A friend helped him get in. He’s working on a lot of things and I think he’s really getting his message out. He’s got the Black Powder Podcast and YouTube channel. He’s working to become an instructor. And he’s working to reach more people in the community. 




Favorite quotes:

“You realize how many rights and how much stuff they’re doing to take stuff away from you.”

“If you can’t walk it and talk it or line it up and shoot it, why are you even doing it in the first place.”

“It was getting me active again, getting all that stupid depression crap off my back.”

“The primer is hit, the power is lit.”

“Any time you act out of fear, it doesn’t end well.”
