Student of the Gun Radio

Being a Student of the Gun is not about being a novice or beginner. Student of the Gun represents a life’s journey of education, enlightenment and the enjoyment of firearms. Each week Student of the Gun will introduce our listeners to all manner of firearms related topics be they sport, recreation or personal defense. Unlike the television format, through the magic of digital radio, we will have the opportunity to explore topics more deeply rather than just give them a quick glance. Discussions will address both that which is current news in the firearms world as well as traditions and foundational principles. Student of the Gun, a beginner once, a student for life.

In reality, it’s quite the opposite. Officers are being equipped with a new belt-worn medical kit, made possible by a $3-million donation from Touro University through the Englestad Foundation. The medical kit contains the essentials needed by an officer at his or her fingertips to begin administering care to a gunshot victim, or other forms of trauma, without the need to return to the patrol car for a first aid kit. “Inside the kit is all trauma-related items,” said Officer Charles Huff, one of the trainers at the Joint Enforcement Training Institute. “It's not first aid boo-boo type stuff. It's guerilla medicine for trauma-related incidents,” Huff added. () From : The 41-year-old man who allegedly admitted to murdering a Republican teenager over politics at the start of the week said this week in court that he did not want to lose things in his life due to bond because of the charges. Shannon Brandt was charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash involving a death after he allegedly hit and killed Cayler Ellingson on Sunday in McHenry, a small town two hours northwest of Fargo, North Dakota. He posted bond on Tuesday. Brandt said that he objected to the $50,000 bond that was set because he was not a flight risk. He said, “I have a job, a life and a house and things that I don’t exactly want to see go by the wayside — family that are very important to me.” () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/24510519

The Daily Journal reported that police charged 26-year-old Chris Copeland with capital murder for allegedly shooting 33-year-old Parmvir Singh in the back of the head after ordering him to get on the floor of the Chevron Food Mart. Tupelo Police Detective Wes Kloac said that security camera footage from inside the store showed the suspect walking into the store, pulling a gun out of his waistband, and pointing it at Singh.

Within a month, Nichols submitted a request to be euthanized and he was killed, despite concerns raised by his family and a nurse practitioner.

Shower Guns & Free Rifles! | SOTG 1152 What is a Shower Gun and why would you want one? We discussed the prudence of shower gun several months ago. During our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we consider a Wisconsin mother who recently had to go directly from the shower to facing down a home invader in the middle of the day. During our Brownells Bullet Points we will give you an update on the ARMED rifle project. We have good news for you. Also, we are close to giving the plain black ARMED a new camouflage pattern.

The mother, who asked not to be identified, told TMJ4 News that she was in the shower when she heard her 12 and 14-year-old children screaming from the living room. Without hesitation, she raced to her bedroom, grabbed her gun, and ran into the hallway to face down the intruder, she said. "It all happened so fast — an adrenaline rush," she said. The man, she said, was already being attacked by her two pit bulls, but she shot him multiple times because "he wouldn't stop coming." A neighbor called her a "hero." () From : A Pennsylvania high school awaiting a delivery of textbooks got a box full of guns instead in a screwup that left educators stunned. The box containing six .30-caliber M1 rifles arrived last week at Chester High School in Delaware County. After it was opened to reveal its contents, shocked school officials immediately called the police, according to NBCPhiladelphia.com. “When deliveries come in, we check everything,” Kevin Thomas, Chester High School maintenance employee told the station. “Usually, it’s like school supplies. So I don’t think – in the history, nothing like this has ever happened. So it had to be a big misunderstanding, big mistake.” () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/24207450

Duh and/or Aloha: Hawaii Ignores Supreme Court & Bear Break-In | SOTG 1151 Despite being named specifically by the US Supreme Court as in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, Hawaii and its Attorney General are still going to do their damndest to keep citizens from carrying firearms for self-defense.

The Steamboat Springs, Colorado, homeowner awakened to hear his wife screaming, "There’s a bear in the house!" as the Associated Press reported. The couple's three children were sleeping just one floor down in the couple’s split-level home. Mauldin’s wife, Kelly, was first awakened before dawn by the family’s barking dogs, the AP noted. () From : Hawaii has had the most restrictive policy of all states regarding the issuing permits to carry in public, either concealed or openly. In the last few decades, the number of permits issued has been in the single digits. From the staradvertiser.com: Hawaii has among the strictest gun laws in the nation. So strict, said attorney Alan Beck, that Hawaii essentially bans carrying guns outside the home. It has been practically impossible to get a permit to carry a loaded gun in public, he said. In the past 22 years, there have been four permits issued in Hawaii, said Beck, who represents various residents challenging Hawaii gun laws. The United States Supreme Court specifically mentioned Hawaii as violating the Second Amendment in the USR&PA v. Bruen decision. It was clear that Hawaii’s law allowing police to arbitrarily deny permits to carry is unconstitutional. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/24137337

Weaponized Bureaucracy and Border Crisis | SOTG 1150 08/17/2022

Weaponized Bureaucracy and Border Crisis | SOTG 1150 What happens to a nation when the government bureaucracy is weaponized against the people? We could ask the survivors of the Lenin/Stalin regimes, those who survived Mao, or we could wait and ask the people of the United States in the next five years. Despite it being downplayed in the press, we have a very real and dangerous border crisis. Just this week, drug gangs in Mexico murders nearly a dozen people.

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) blamed her failed 2020 presidential bid on the fact that she was born without a male appendage, according to a new book. NBC News correspondent Ali Vitali is out with a new book, “Electable: Why America Hasn’t Put a Woman in the White House … Yet.” Based on an excerpt from the book in Politico, Warren and some in her campaign believe that one of the reasons is because Iowa’s Democratic voting base is filled with a bunch of sexists. Vitali, who followed Warren along during the 2020 Iowa primary campaign, recounted that after the caucus was over, she discussed the campaign with Warren and why she did not do as well as she had hoped. () From : A wave of violence in a Mexican city on the border with the United States left 11 people dead, including a radio presenter, and businesses torched, authorities said Friday. In the first incident in Ciudad Juarez, two prison inmates were shot dead and 20 injured in a riot involving two rival gangs, Deputy Security Minister Ricardo Mejia told reporters. Local media said both groups were linked to the Sinaloa cartel, whose former leader, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, is currently serving a life sentence in the United States. () From : The IRS deleted a job posting Wednesday seeking a Special Agent “willing to use deadly force” for its law enforcement division, Criminal Investigation (CI). The deletion came amid renewed scrutiny of the IRS in response to a Democrat-backed spending bill that would double the size of the agency. “As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes,” the job advertisement read. “No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government,” the job posting continued.

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 : 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.

On the table is an amendment from Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach to add an exception for pistol stabilizing braces. At this point, Congressman Cicilline objected and pointed out the scary and dangerous details of a stabilizing brace. Only it didn’t go quite how he planned. The amendment from Mrs. Fischbach, as read at the desk, states: “This act should not be interpreted to provide additional limitations on the import, sale, manufacture, transport, possession of a pistol with a stabilizing brace.” () From : President Joe Biden said a 9mm bullet "blows the lung out of the body" while discussing options on gun legislation on Monday, prompting some to suggest he was calling for handguns to be banned. Biden made the remarks while speaking to reporters outside the White House, a day after he and first lady Jill Biden visited Uvalde, Texas, and comforted families grieving the 19 children and two teachers who were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school last week.

Jonathan Sapirman of Greenwood apparently was facing eviction before he opened fire at the Greenwood Park Mall shortly before it closed Sunday evening, the city's police chief, James Ison, said at a news conference. Sapirman continued shooting people until he was shot and killed by 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, of Seymour, a city about 45 miles south of Greenwood, who was shopping with his girlfriend, Ison said, calling Dicken's quick action "nothing short of heroic." () From : The Rev. Steven Marsh never thought he would see the day his church in Laguna Woods, California — a town of 16,500 populated largely by retirees — would be spending $20,000 a month for security. Then a gunman opened fire on May 15 during a luncheon at Geneva Presbyterian Church, where Marsh is senior pastor, killing one and injuring five other members of a Taiwanese congregation that met there. Officials said the man, who was motivated by political hatred against Taiwan, chained the church's doors shut and hid firebombs inside before shooting at the gathering of elderly church members. Houses of worship are meant to be places of shelter, reflection and peace, where strangers are welcome. But the recent string of high-profile mass shootings in the U.S. is a reminder violence can happen anywhere, prompting some faith leaders to ramp up security.

The state will require people seeking to carry concealed handguns to hand over lists of their social media accounts for a review of their “character and conduct.” It’s an approach applauded by many Democrats and national gun control advocacy groups as missed warning signs pile up in investigations of mass killings. But some experts have raised questions about how the law will be enforced and how it will address free speech concerns. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/23714513

Supreme Court Spanks New York, Now What? | SOTG 1144 The Supreme Court stuck down a New York law requiring citizens to demonstrate cause when they begged their slave masters for permission to carry a gun outside of their homes. What did the judges who read the Constitution have to say? What did the emotionally driven communists on the Court have to say? During our Duracoat Finished Firearms segment we talk about Dad’s and Grandpa’s guns. Do you have a record of them? What stories do they tell?

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision upholding New York's 108-year-old law limiting who can obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. Proponents of the measure warned that a ruling from the high court invalidating it could threaten gun restrictions in several states and lead to more firearms on city streets.

Disarmed by Lies & Uvalde PD Lawyers Up | SOTG 1143 The cowardice, ineptitude, and potential corruption exhibited by the agents of the state in Uvalde, Texas is so embarrassing and damning that they have lawyered up in an attempt to keep the peasants from finding out just how bad the real story of their failure is.

According to a post Monday on Twitter by the NYPD’s 120th Precinct: “Fireworks are illegal! If you use fireworks, you or someone else can get seriously hurt.” () From : Some of the records relating to the Robb Elementary School shooting could be “highly embarrassing,” involve “emotional/mental distress,” and are “not of legitimate concern to the public,” the lawyers argued. The City of Uvalde and its police department are working with a private law firm to prevent the release of nearly any record related to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in which 19 children and two teachers died, according to a letter obtained by Motherboard in response to a series of public information requests we made. The public records Uvalde is trying to suppress include body camera footage, photos, 911 calls, emails, text messages, criminal records, and more. () From : Law enforcement officials reportedly never tried to open the door at a Texas elementary school last month where a shooter murdered 19 children. “Surveillance footage shows that police never tried to open a door to two classrooms at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde in the 77 minutes between the time a gunman entered the rooms and massacred 21 people and officers finally breached the door and killed him,” the San Antonio Express-News reported, noting that the information came from a law enforcement official who was involved in investigating law enforcement’s response to the tragedy. “Investigators believe the 18-year-old gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers at the school on May 24 could not have locked the door to the connected classrooms from the inside.” () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/23489840

Permitless carry will allow Hoosiers to carry a handgun without a license and limit what police officers can ask when they see a gun. "It's very limiting. It's very limiting in what we're going to be able to do," said ISP Superintendent Doug Carter. Carter told lawmakers he was against the law before they passed it. One of his concerns: Officers won't be able to tell a good guy with a gun from a bad guy.

She was quickly airlifted to a hospital to receive treatment. According to a GoFundMe set up by the victim’s family to help cover medical expenses, Kryzhanivskyy underwent several hours of surgery for injuries to her upper body and face and went into a coma following the attack.

While Department of Public Safety officials initially said the gunman, Salvador Ramos, was confronted by an armed officer outside the school, those same authorities denied that version of events at a press conference Thursday. The Wall Street Journal reported that the gunman fired shots for 12 minutes after crashing his truck outside the school before walking in “unobstructed.” Police arrived on scene four minutes later “and exchanged gunfire with Ramos, who locked himself in a fourth-grade classroom.” () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/23287454

It turns out that Friday’s calls apparently were in reference to a man on Hancock Road with a walking stick, not a firearm. “The Bullhead City Police Department received two separate calls reporting a man walking in the area of Hancock Road armed with a rifle,” Emily Fromelt, the BCPD’s public information officer, said. () From : It seems like every spring here in Alaska, we are faced with stark reminders of how dangerous bears can be. Especially in the spring, after a winter of not really having to worry about it, we can get really complacent. It’s been a somewhat early spring here this year, and already there have been at least two confirmed maulings by either grizzlies or brown bears. Even though I am in bear country frequently, and have had several close encounters, I also get complacent, because I know the chances are slim that I’ll be attacked when I’m unprepared. The unfortunate fact about bear attacks though, is that if we knew they were going to happen, they wouldn’t. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/23207630

The findings are the result of Washington Free Beacon visits to five harm-reduction organizations and calls to over two dozen more. In fact, every organization we visited—facilities in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Richmond, Va.—included crack pipes in the kits. The kits became the subject of national attention in the wake of a Free Beacon report in February indicating that a $30 million harm-reduction program was set to fund the distribution of free crack pipes in "safe-smoking kits." Pressed on the matter in a Feb. 9 press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki issued a full-throated denial. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/23141105

Now a report has surfaced that one of the suspects, Smiley Martin, was paid $7,500 by Sacramento County to settle a lawsuit dating back to 2018, when Martin accused a jail guard of allowing him to be assaulted while in custody in the Sacramento County Jail. According to KOVR News, the local CBS affiliate, the county agreed to settle Smiley Martin’s lawsuit rather than go to court, because of a backup in the courts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is just the latest revelation about the case, that already has Californians furious. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/22925582

Its 25 million residents have been trapped at home, struggling to feed themselves or get medical help for sick family members. Others have been corralled into makeshift quarantine centers and temporary hospitals, unsure when they will be allowed to leave. Li Moyin, 34, was among those restricted to their homes. She lives with her parents, both in their 70s, in the Putuo district of Shanghai, where she has been confined since March 27, working as a part-time translator and trying to secure enough groceries for their household. For Li, who grew up in Shanghai, seeing the once-bustling financial hub — which residents previously believed was a model for balancing covid prevention measures with normal life — turn into a ghost town has been unsettling.

Two Jet Skiers, a man and a woman, fell into Lake Keowee in Salem, South Carolina, on Tuesday and were rescued by another man and a woman on a pontoon boat, the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office said a news release. Officials have not released the identities of the couple on the boat or the woman in the water. The dead Jet Skier is Nathan Drew Morgan, officials said in a statement. () From : Since its establishment as the country's national currency, the dollar has undergone many updates and changes, but nothing compares to the proposal being debated today. The U.S. is gingerly considering whether to adopt a digital version of its currency, one better suited for today's increasingly cashless world, ushering in what could be one of the dollar's most fundamental transformations. In that scenario, the U.S. would not only mint the coins and print paper bills but also issue digital cash, or a central bank digital currency (CBDC), that would be stored in apps or "digital wallets" on our smartphones. We could then use them to pay for things, just like we do with Venmo or Apple Pay, and no physical money would change hands. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/22538141

Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 215, or the Constitutional Carry Bill, into law Monday. The bill makes concealed handgun licenses optional, meaning the only reason a person 21 or older could not carry a concealed weapon in Ohio would be if state or federal law prohibits them from having a weapon. Ohioans were previously required to pass a background check and show proof of eight hours of training before obtaining their license. Under the new law, people with concealed weapons will not be required to 'promptly' inform officers they are carrying a concealed weapon during a stop. () From : A farmer joined Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show to warn that Joe Biden’s failed economic policies and the war in Ukraine are going to cause the costs of food to skyrocket in the coming months. If you think the high cost of gasoline is a problem now, wait until summer when your grocery bill soars. During his March 2 broadcast, Carlson informed his audience that Russia is a leading producer of the fertilizers and additives that American farmers use to help grow the crops that subsequently supply our grocery store shelves with food. () From : China is keeping mass quantities of grain in storage, to the point where it’s affecting global food prices, according to a columnist for Bloomberg. Adam Minter, author of “Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade,” cites USDA statistics pointing to what he calls China’s “hoarding” of key commodities. By mid-2022, China will hold 69% of the world’s corn reserves, 60% of its rice and 51% of its wheat, according to USDA predictions. () /episode/index/show/studentofthegun/id/22459529

The West Created the Ukraine Crisis | SOTG 1128 03/09/2022

The West Created the Ukraine Crisis | SOTG 1128 Rather than use emotion to make decisions, we need to use facts and information to understand the history of the current situation in Ukraine. If you care to examine the facts, you will see that the West (US and Europe) instigated the current crisis in Ukraine.

Heller decision in 2008, gun control advocates have parsed every word of Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion for ways in which to continue their campaign against the Second Amendment. Relying on creative interpretations of dicta, these activists try to twist the landmark gun rights ruling into an endorsement of their anti-gun policies. An example of these efforts is on display in the NRA-supported case New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. The case concerns the validity New York’s discretionary carry licensing regime, where law enforcement is tasked with determining if an applicant has “proper cause” to carry a firearm for self-defense. () From : In July 1918, Erich Posselt wrote a poem. “It wasn't a very good poem,” he would write later, “and it was decidedly not for publication.” But it landed him in an American internment camp for 17 months. It began like this. The poem's six (presumably American) aviators bumble through Germany, each falling victim to the varied ravages of gout, Munich beer, and the well-known general Erich Ludendorff. Posselt was a young editor and translator who emigrated from Austria-Hungary in 1914. His nationality—like that of millions of German-speaking immigrants in the United States during World War I—attracted suspicion and anger from nationalistic Americans. In the course of the war, the federal government registered around half a million “enemy alien” civilians, spied on many of them, and sent approximately 6,000 men and a few women to internment camps.

The Republican-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee advanced the bill late Wednesday following an eight-hour meeting that ended with three GOP senators joining committee Democrats in approving an amendment that a Republican supporter said “guts the bill completely.” Supporters said they then voted in support of the measure only so that it could possibly be changed back to its original form in votes by the full Senate next week.
