Student of the Gun Radio
What does it mean to “fight with a rifle”? How important is training when it comes to success or survival? During our SOTG Homeroom we will consider how training will open your eyes. We have a Tech Talk from EOTech and this week we will discuss the importance of maintenance in regards to rifle or pistol mounted optical sights.

info_outline Islamic Terrorists Drugged to Kill & No More Naked Guns | SOTG 1235Student 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.

info_outline Moscow Concert Hall & Shark Attack; YOU are the First Responder | SOTG 1234Student of the Gun Radio
The terrorist attack at the concert hall in Moscow was horrible, but we have to examine it and learn from it.

info_outline Wargaming the American Apocalypse: What Can You Do? | SOTG 1230Student of the Gun Radio

“He shot my arm off!” So said a felonious scumbag after being shot by a California store owner during a robbery. During our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters we consider that and another recent event where a store owner was forced to defend his life.
Also, during our Brownells Bullet Points, Professor Paul considers the modern AR. Is there such a thing as the perfect, minimum effective dose rifle, one that has all you need and nothing that you don’t? Additionally, we will consider the genuine Rhodesian camo during our Duracoat Finished Firearm segment.

SOURCES
From www.foxla.com:
The owner of a store that was targeted by would-be robbers turned the tables on one of the suspects by opening fire on him in Norco.
Authorities said that at 2:45 a.m. on Sunday, four male suspects in a black BMW SUV attempted to rob Norco Market & Liquor, located in the 2800 block of Clark Avenue.
Surveillance video obtained by FOX 11 shows a male suspect wearing a red and black sweatshirt and a ski mask entering the store before he points a rifle at the store owner who was behind the counter. Noticing that the man entering the store was armed and wearing a mask, the 80-year-old store owner swiftly grabbed a shotgun from underneath the counter and opened fire on the suspect. The suspect is then seen fleeing the store.
From www.fox5vegas.com:
As his store was being robbed, a Vegas smoke shop owner grabbed a knife and stabbed one of two masked criminals. FOX5 spoke with that shop owner Friday.
Smokestrom Smoke Shop is on Sahara near Arville. On Wednesday, during the middle of the day, the store owner found himself in a violent struggle when trouble walked into his store.
“The whole time I was a little bit nervous because obviously I was getting robbed,” said Johnny Nguyen.
“I was really scared for my life because they were wearing baggy clothes... one of them came in with a bag as if he had a firearm,” Nguyen explained.
