Recent events lately have stirred up a lot of conversation about mass shootings. Thanks to a listener on Facebook, I’ve decided to change my terminology and call them active killers instead of active shooters. So Jack Rumbaugh is my guest to talk about recent events, how to prepare yourself for the unfortunate situation if you’re in an active killer situation. You and I are shooters, the people who commit these heinous acts are killers, plain and simple. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne

Will competition shooting get you killed? That question has caused a lot of arguments in the gun community. Combat veteran Ben Branam joins me to share his combat experiences and to help answer the question of if and when competition shooting helps  you in a gunfight. We also discussed the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado and the success of Samuel Williams using his pistol to repel 2 guys who tried to rob an internet cafe in Florida. Thanks for listening.  Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Bob Mayne.
