Liberal Gun Owners & Mid-Range Rifles | SOTG 1278

Inspired by the Kris Paronto interview with Shawn Ryan, Professor Paul read the book “13 Hours” by Michael Zuckoff. As usual, Paul read the book with a pen and highlighters close at hand. We began the discussion on Wednesday’s public hour and now we will continue addressing this topic in depth. Paul took four pages of notes regarding lessons that can be learned from the attacks on 9/11/12. What is the job of a bodyguard? What did General Patton say about a “good plan”?

Biden Loves Jihad & Coyote Shopping | SOTG 1274
Student of the Gun Radio
Following the orders of his masters, Joe Biden has continued on his path to do everything he can to damage the United States before he is ejected from the people’s house on January 20th. Rather than put terrorists in custody on trial, they are instead releasing them into the wild with a promise to behave. During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com, we relate another wild animal encounter. This time it was a coyote in a supermarket. What advice did the Bambi Police have for us after this encounter? Also, for our weekly Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will consider a question. Do the...
info_outlineCan you manage the “stunning” recoil of the 5.56mm cartridge? Fear not. During our Brownells Bullet Points segment we will address this first world problem and work together to come up with a solution.
Should teachers be dangerous on demand? For our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we will consider a proposal being put forth in Utah to encourage more teachers to get training and carry, sort of, while at work.
It’s a new year and we at Student of the Gun will be moving around the country a good bit. If you are attending the SHOT Show this year, we have several book signing events scheduled and we’d love to meet as many of you as we can.

The term “school shooting” covers a lot of real estate. Depending on who is keeping count, it could be anything from a stray bullet hitting a school in the wee hours of the morning or something that makes Uvalde look like a fond memory.
Regardless, if a student’s life is in danger, armed teachers might well make the difference between a traumatic experience and a funeral.
While anti-gunners loathe the idea of a teacher carrying a gun, Utah has has them for a good while now without incident.
