This episode is inspired by Paul Markel’s Student of the Gun Podcast dated January 1, 2014 on half measures. I decided to do my own, expanded version of that theme. I also unveil a gun experiment I’m doing this year in 2014 and then answer listener voice mails.

Hoplophobia is the irrational, morbid fear of guns (coined by Col. Jeff Cooper, from the Greek “hoplites,” weapon). Hoplophobes are common and should never be involved in setting gun policies. Point out hoplophobic behavior when noticed, it is dangerous, sufferers deserve pity, and should seek treatment. When confronted, hoplophobes typically go into denial, a common characteristic of the affliction. Often helped by training, or by coaching at a range, a process known to psychiatry as “desensitization,” often useful in treating many phobias.

So this episode also includes some of my thoughts on Hoplophobes.

Recently Dick Metcalf, long time gun writer for Guns and Ammo Magazine was fired for his most recent column. I also received an iTunes comment that said I am hurting the 2nd amendment cause. So I decided to weigh in on both of these events. I also changed my mind on an issue that you will hear about in this episode. Several listeners also called in some very good voice mails.

Ben Branam discusses how to properly rack the slide on a semi auto pistol. A lot of new shooters have difficulties with this. Especially new shooters who are women who don’t have a lot of hand strength. Even some men don’t properly rack the slide even though they have plenty of strength. Some even cause malfunctions by doing it incorrectly.
