Sometimes a person who was anti gun, totally changes their outlook on firearms and actually becomes an avid shooter, concealed carrier and 2nd amendment advocate. On the way to MAG 40 recently I interviewed my friend Mark. He’s one of my shooting buddies and he also traveled with me and trained with me. He used to be anti gun. You’ll hear his story. I also interview Boyd Lemon, owner oh a company called Hillbilly223. He does awesome custom finishes on guns! Thanks for downloading and listening. Bob Mayne

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
