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.

Kung-Flu Part 2: Time to put the Chains back on the Slaves | SOTG 1007
Tyrants and political criminals nationwide are using the Kung Flu scare to put their slaves back in chains. We have more evidence of tyranny from Pennsylvania, Chicago, and California. Professor Paul has some serious and critical advice for you during our Brownells Bullet Points. How important is it for you to deliberately inspect your self-defense ammunition? Are you dangerous on demand? During this week’s SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we consider whether rights are actually rights or privileges that the state can hold hostage and ransom back to you.

Several factors have driven the increase, including the advent of COVID-19, pockets of civil unrest across the country and the uncertainty surrounding the presidential election and the transfer of power at the White House. “Currently, the demand for applications to carry a concealed firearm is unprecedented,” Chief Deputy Kevin Kraus said Tuesday. “There’s been an extreme spike in demand for the licenses. It all started with COVID.” () From : Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced intense backlash Thursday for her recent round of lockdown orders, which came days after she joined large crowds celebrating Joe Biden's election victory. Amid national spikes of coronavirus cases, the Windy City's top Democrat announced a 30-day stay-at-home advisory that will take effect Monday. The advisory calls on all Chicagoans to do the following: "Stay home unless for essential reasons, Stop having guests over — including family members you do not live with, Avoid non-essential travel, Cancel traditional Thanksgiving plans," Lightfoot summarized on Twitter.

He started by working on his own guns, but news of his talent spread quickly and he soon began accepting jobs from friends.

Minneapolis, MN residents are suing the city over what they claim is a failure to maintain adequate police protection. Yes, after the communist city council voted to defund the police, the people who voted for those same council members are now upset. Two things are immediately evident. First, liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent and, secondly, liberals never take responsibility for their own actions.

Many of these real-life video clips are pure entertainment; i.e, the drunk that gets Tasered five times because he won’t comply and surrender. If we sort through all the trash we can indeed find actual recorded traffic stops and other “in progress” calls that have training value. Some of the training value is positive as in “see that worked well” and others are a form a negative reinforcement, “don’t ever do that!” ()

We consider the ongoing culture war in the United States of America, how we got here, and what we can do to stop the war on our culture. During our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we will consider the ongoing mob violence in our cities and now our suburbs. What are citizens supposed to do when gangs of thugs descend on their neighborhoods? Winter is coming and many of you are looking for indoor projects. Brownell is stocked up with reloading supplies and in many cases, they are running sales and rebates on items you need to reload your own ammunition. Thanks for being a part of SOTG!

The department retweeted a video from Town Hall reporter Julio Rosas showing demonstrators smashing storefronts along Swan Boulevard and W. North Avenue. ()

Honey Badger, ATF, and Pistols Braces; Alex Bosco of SB Tactical | SOTG 994
Today we have the privilege of being joined by Alex Bosco, the CEO of SB Tactical and the originator of the pistol brace. Paul, Jarrad, and Alex will address the history of the pistol brace throughout the last eight years. We will also explore the current situation with Q and their Honey Badger rifle caliber pistol. Has the BATF overstepped their authority once again? Has that bureaucracy once more done a complete 180 and reversed itself? How are firearm manufacturers supposed to operate with no guidance and the constant fear that a three-letter agency will arbitrarily change its mind? Alex will explain to us just how he and others are fighting against this arbitrary and overreaching action by ATF. We will also remind you about how you can help.

US Army: Sofa King Weak | SOTG 993
Our military continues to be used as a liberal social experiment. The US Army Command Sergeant Major in charge of training has announced a new policy to make the new recruits’ basic training experience a bit more kind and gentle. Not to be outdone, the US Navy has announced a #MeToo moved to make the ethos and mission statement of the Seals and SWCC “gender-neutral”. Yep, because that is the greatest problem our nation is facing today; a lack of gender-neutral language. Pathetic! We have a Brownell’s Bullet Points for you. Rather than raise prices during the crisis, Brownells has AR parts on sale.

Chinese Doctor: CV-19 Made in Wuhan Lab | SOTG 989
A Chinese virologist, who managed to escape the clutches of the CCP, had published a report with details that indicate that SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately manipulated and created not a natural accident from a wet market. Do you have the courage to address this information? Would a Democrat Mayor and his team deliberately withhold information and lie just to maintain a stranglehold over their city? There is evidence emerging that the Mayor of Nashville, TN, and his cohorts did exactly that. Since it is Wednesday, we have a Brownells Bullet Points for you with some good news.

The rally, which occurred between August 7 and August 16, drew an estimated 462,182 people from around the country. Local news reports suggest that, in addition to the large crowds, there was little mask-wearing and social distancing among attendees, causing health experts to fear it would become a COVID-19 "super-spreader" event. In a report published by the IZA Institute of Labor Economics in Bonn, Germany, four economists used anonymized cellphone data, local health records and data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to conclude that an estimated 266,796 coronavirus cases could be attributed to the rally.

"Like other activities during COVID-19 that involve physical closeness, there are some things you can do to minimize the risk of getting infected and spreading the virus," she said. ()

Brad Little's coronavirus emergency declaration, a move designed to lift restrictions across the state that would also strip Idaho of its eligibility for some federal emergency aid money. The 48-20 vote came despite concerns voiced by some members that such a resolution was in violation of the state Constitution and outside the scope of the special session, during which legislators are required to adhere only to the subjects on which it is called. Little called the session to address the upcoming election and limiting civil liability connected to the pandemic. Rep. Steven Harris, R-Meridian and the sponsor of the resolution, said Little's original declaration of emergency was intended to ensure that COVID-19 cases did not outstrip Idaho hospitals' ability to care for patients. Hospital capacity has remained more than adequate since the pandemic began, Harris said, but the governor's declaration and stay-home order caused "extensive collateral damage" to citizens. ()
