Podcasts about ArmaLite

Carynn Rudolph is a disabled Marine Corps veteran who has a fascinating set of broad experiences that, at first glance, might seem paradoxical. On the one hand, she is a strong proponent of keeping guns available for all without restrictions as to type, size, or capacity. She also is a strong advocate and heavily involved with the concept of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, JEDI. During our discussion, Carynn will discuss how and why she feels that her beliefs and work in both of the above areas are not diametrically opposed. We do get to spend some time talking about guns, gun control, and how she feels we can address the problems we face and read about all too often today. Today she works as a program manager at a youth center in Colorado. I love listening to her talk about how she is helping today's youth discover and learn how they can become more responsible in their lives and how they learn how to take responsibility for their actions. Make no mistake, Caryn has a deep ethical values concerning right and wrong. I believe you will find our discussion intriguing and quite informative. I personally learned a lot and I hope you will as well.

Today, we get to interview someone that I got a chance to know fairly recently, Carynn Rudolph, and she is a a disabled, military and Marine Corps specifically veteran, she's got a lot of different kinds of experiences. And now she's among other things working to help a home for youth in Colorado, we're gonna get to all that I don't want to give much away. And that's what makes it tough to describe because if I start talking more, she won't have anything to say. And we don't want that. So, Carynn , welcome to unstoppable mindset. How are you?   Carynn Rudolph ** 02:04 I'm doing well. Thank you so much for having me today.   Michael Hingson ** 02:08 Well, a pleasure. And we're really glad you're here. And I hope people will enjoy what you have to say. And I'm sure they will. And we'll kind of make it as fun as we can make it. And as always, it's it's always fun to ask people to talk a little bit at first of all, what it was like growing up what what, what was Carynn, the younger person like and tell us about your growing up experiences and all that.   Carynn Rudolph ** 02:33 Sure. Um, well, my name is Carynn Rudolph. I am originally from Savannah, Georgia. I grew up in Colorado, Aurora, Colorado. My dad was in the Army is what kind of brought us to Colorado traveled back and forth as a kid between Colorado and Georgia. Every summer we spent our summers in Georgia and with my like my grandparents, I have a twin brother and a little sister. Yeah, I I lived, you know, normal, normal, young person life, I suppose. And went off join the military kind of fall within my father my grandfather's footsteps. I when I turned 18, I was going to join the army and went off to the Marine Corps. Instead, they they convinced me because I was able to do a couple of pull ups. They told me that I was hardcore. And that was that was what allowed me on the Marine Corps versus in the army.   Michael Hingson ** 03:36 So they don't do pull ups in the army. Is that what you're saying? I don't know.   Carynn Rudolph ** 03:39 The that was all that it took 17 year olds to convince 17 year old Kirinda to go to the Marine Corps. So army though so   Michael Hingson ** 03:49 good for you. How long were you in the Marine Corps?   Carynn Rudolph ** 03:53 I did four years on active duty and got got out in 2012.   Michael Hingson ** 03:58 Wow. And what did you do after that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 04:02 I did a number of different things. So I had a daughter shortly after I got out of the military got married and all that stuff went to school. I pastored for about nine years after I got out of the military. And I started a nonprofit organization in 2016, called the urban youth initiative that was focused on helping urban youth pastors specifically. Like by equipping them with the skills and the ability to be able to support a young person who expressed that they were experiencing like suicidal ideation. And then I became a correctional officer. I did that for about four years and now I work as a program manager at a youth homeless shelter.   Michael Hingson ** 04:55 I have some friends who retired from being In the federal correction officer business, she was a pastor. But they both had been involved in doing correctional officer kinds of things. We knew them in New Jersey. They've retired out of Florida, but it was really fascinating to talk with them, and certainly not a position I envy a whole lot.   Carynn Rudolph ** 05:20 Yeah, I always tell people, people think I'm like crazy when I say this, but that was one of the best jobs I ever had. I worked with us specifically in like a secured facility. But it was a lot of fun. You get to build really cool relationships with young people and help them not, like make the same mistakes that got them landed there, you know, hopefully anyway, but just by having those those relationships and running groups and things like that, so   Michael Hingson ** 05:53 yeah, well, really, you were pretty successful at it. And people didn't go back to what they were doing before.   Carynn Rudolph ** 05:57 I hope so. I definitely hope so. I haven't run into anybody that I worked closely with yet. But yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 06:06 Did you do that in Colorado?   Carynn Rudolph ** 06:08 I did. After I got out of the military. I came back to Colorado. That's where I met my, my ex husband. And we had a couple of kids and all that sort of stuff. So no, it's Tara. So Tara is my wife. Now. There's a whole story behind all that. But yeah, Tara is my wife. I met her during COVID after I had gotten my divorce from my ex husband and all that after leaving the church.   Michael Hingson ** 06:41 So what, what got you into pastoring? After leaving the Marine Corps? What What made you decide to go that route, as opposed to going to school or any number of other things that you could have done?   Carynn Rudolph ** 06:54 It's a great question. I did go to school. As I was like, kind of by vocational I went to school and pastored. But I took that route, because when I was on active duty, I experienced I went through a sexual assault incident when I was on active duty. And you know, I started going to church after that. And that was something that really helped me as I like navigated that, like trauma experience and all that. And, yeah, so I started getting involved in church more and stuff like that. I was like, I think this is something I really want to do. And started working in ministry. After that.   Michael Hingson ** 07:44 Did, did the powers that be if you will handle the sexual assault at all reasonably well, or was it just like a lot of things that we hear kind of covered up? Or? It was   Carynn Rudolph ** 07:57 one of the those kinds of cover up? That was, you know, yeah, it was it wasn't? They didn't handle it that well. And I think that since my discharge, since I got out of the military, they have really done a lot to recognize that, like military sexual trauma is something that a lot of females, female veterans, specifically experience, not just female veterans, but you know, female veterans, a lot of them tend to experience that. And so I think that the ratio is like one in five, or the statistic is like one in five women who serve will experience some form of military sexual trauma in their time in service.   Michael Hingson ** 08:43 Yeah, it's, it's so unfortunate that there is so much of that that goes on, guys thinks that they're so tough. And the reality is, it's, I think, more a sign of weakness, but nevertheless, they think they can take things out on people and that's too bad. Deed indeed. Well, so did you get a college degree than when you got out? And we're doing that while pastoring?   Carynn Rudolph ** 09:06 Yes, yeah, it took some time I pursued higher education seeking, like for psychology with an emphasis on substance use and addiction. And that was kind of what drove my passion to like work with with youth, like learning about psychology and wanted to be able to help support people who are experiencing different degrees of a mental health crisis so   Michael Hingson ** 09:33 well, but why youth as opposed to working with older people? Do you think that you could, did you feel you could have a greater influence if you're working with younger people or just kind of was your, your sort of style?   Carynn Rudolph ** 09:47 I think that it's a little bit of both. I think that part of it is that I want to be able to make a difference before before folks get kind of stuck in their ways. As as young adults as adults, and I like to think that I'm a pretty cool person. So that's why I've stuck around working with young people for as long as I have.   Michael Hingson ** 10:16 My wife was a teacher. And she always said that she loved the younger grades like third grade, because by the time kids were in the fifth and sixth grade, they were starting to get more set in ways and they were harder to really have as much of an influence on so I can imagine that the older kids got when you got them in those teenagers. And then if you saw people later on in life, you have exactly what you said. They're very set in their ways, and they're not going to be very willing to change.   Carynn Rudolph ** 10:46 Absolutely, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 10:48 Well, so did you pastor for a church, how to how did all that work out? Or how did you get started in that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 10:56 Yep, I pastored. I started working in church I went through we had a Bible college at the church that I, when I moved back to Colorado, I joined this ministry called The Rock Church of Denver, and they had a Bible college. So I started attending the Bible college while I was there, and went through their ordination program. It was a three year program, got I got ordained and was serving as a youth pastor serve as youth minister, I got licensed through them after about a year and then the next two years, just worked as youth minister and then got ordained as a pastor serve as their youth pastor, and then did some associate pastor duties as well. So did like youth ministry and worked with their like evangelism department and immediate sound department and things like that.   Michael Hingson ** 11:55 It sounds like from what you said a little while ago that you kind of were drawn more to God after the whole sexual assault incident? Yes, that's correct. And there's a lot of value in doing that. And of course, you know, God is a part of all of our lives and in so many ways, so. You have a relationship that still goes today, I trust? Yes, yeah. But what got you to get out of being a pastor after nine years,   Carynn Rudolph ** 12:25 wow, I went through kind of a deconstruction journey. deconstruction slash, like a reconstruction journey, if you will, where I really started to evaluate certain, like, parts of the Bible that, that I couldn't reconcile. One of those verses was from Deuteronomy, chapter 22, verses 28 and 29. That said, that if a man finds a, like a virgin, and he rapes her, you can marry her. And I just couldn't reconcile that. And so it took some time. And, you know, I was like, I also was going through my divorce, took some time backed away, and, you know, really kind of reevaluated my own personal values and where, where the Scripture stood with me and all that sort of stuff. And yeah, that that is that as I went through that deconstruction process, I just, I realized that I was at a place where I was really learning a lot more. And I didn't feel like I had the capacity to lead people as effectively as I would have wanted to. Or believe was necessary for you know, a person in a ministry position so I stepped away   Michael Hingson ** 13:50 stepped away. Well, you the I hear what you're saying. What's what's really a challenge, of course, is that the Old Testament is in so many ways so different than the New Testament. And Jesus brings a whole different point of view or standpoint to a lot of it, but I hear what you're saying with, with justification logical or not. So if you rape a woman and a virgin, you can marry her, you know?   Carynn Rudolph ** 14:23 Yeah, I mean, that was just one piece of Yeah. You know, I think that you know, Paul's admonishment to the church and, you know, slaves obey your master and like, think about how, like, the Bible was weaponized against marginalized folks. Yeah. I just, I didn't it didn't sit right with me. And so I still believe in God, I still have a relationship with God. And I think that through some work, and some time, I've been able to maintain that relationship. And that that honor for who? The person of Jesus just, you know, with a different respect and value for the Bible.   Michael Hingson ** 15:11 Yeah, well, and Bible was written by people and absorbed. So there's there's a, there are a lot of challenges and you know, it's no different for the Bible than the Koran or anything else there are. There are a lot of paradoxes. And it's it's unfortunate, and sometimes people greatly misuse them as well. Absolutely. I agree, which is never any fun. But anyway, so you got a degree and you you were in the Ministry for a while and all that. One of the things that I know you talk a lot about, is this whole concept of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion Jedi. You don't know the power of the light side of the forest. I'm not gonna go with Vader. But anyway, tell me more about Jedi. And what got you into doing, talking about that or being involved with that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 16:03 Absolutely. I think there were a number of different things that really got me into that work. When I was on active duty in the military, I experienced some racism and things like that. And as a result of the things that I experienced, while on active duty, I, I wanted to find ways to ensure that I could support people who had experienced the same things that I did. That's part of the reason why I pursued a degree in psychology, right. And I just got really hungry to learn more and more about like the justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, kind of principles. And that tied into some of the other work that I do. I'm also a firearms instructor and I own a business as a as a gun instructor. And I learned a lot about like how even certain parts of our Constitution were weaponized against black folks and indigenous folks, and how that translates to today. The work that I do now, I'll go back even to the work that I was doing in corrections, looking at how black and brown people are disproportionately represented. And the justice system was something that, you know, I wanted to learn more about and, you know, find ways that we can reconcile, like the the justice system, to make it more equitable. The child welfare system, I work with young people, I sit on a board for the state of Colorado, child welfare, equity, diversity inclusion, to evaluate the child welfare system in the state of Colorado, and then the work that I do for the homeless shelter where I work. We, you know, I look at the, you know, how black and brown youth specifically because I work with young people are over represented in our programs, and like, evaluating how we can better support and serve those folks. Does that kind of answer your question? So, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 18:39 And so you you continue to do it? And have you ever thought of, also, if you're going to talk about the system and so on studying the law and doing anything in the law world?   Carynn Rudolph ** 18:51 Absolutely. Absolutely. I studied the law quite a bit. You know, especially in the work that I do, both at together, which homelesses organization that I work for, but then also for Goliath tactical firearms training, which is my business. There's so there's so much that we do there. I would say like, for the firearms industry, specifically, I look at how red flag laws or how magazine capacity limits have disproportionately affected black folks. And anytime there are opportunities to testify. I tried to seek out the opportunity to do just that. This past Wednesday, as a matter of fact, Colorado had a, an assault weapons ban bill that they were, you know, we had had an opportunity to testify was able to give a testimony. And, you know, present how those the gun laws that they have proposed would have disproportionately affected black and brown folks. or, you know, prevented folks who are disabled from being able to gain access to the tools that they need to be able to protect and defend themselves and things like that. So it was really good opportunity.   Michael Hingson ** 20:12 Tell me more about that when you're talking about assault weapons and so on. So are you not in favor of banning assault weapons in any way? Or what kind of is your stance on that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 20:22 Yeah, so I am not in favor. No. And the reason for that is because first and foremost, I, I, when I presented this on Wednesday, one of the things that I brought up was that that kind of legislation would create increased surveillance and lower income and bipoc communities. First and foremost, there's, there's statistics from like the Harvard Law Review, that have demonstrated that when people went when there were laws passed about, like magazine capacity limits, for example, it created increased surveillance in black communities, and gave law enforcement officers free rein to be able to go and question black folks. More, and then by black folks were arrested more, and it you know, and I'm a gun person. So I know that we aren't the only ones who are carrying around high capacity magazines, right. You know, so I think that it would create increased surveillance in bipod communities, number one, and then I believe that everyone should have equal fair access to the tools that they need to be able to protect and defend themselves however they see fit. Because being able to protect yourself as a human, fundamental human right, pistols can be really hard for folks who have pistols can be really hard for folks who have like, arthritis, or like carpal tunnel and other sort of pologize the word escapes me right now. But like folks who have a hard time being able to, like rack slides back, or manage recoil and things like that. And what what people are calling an assault rifle would be better is really an ArmaLite rifle, those would be easier for a person to manage the who's like in a wheelchair, for example, they would be able to better manage that recoil, because it's absorbed, like the shock is being absorbed and bodies and things like that. So, yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 22:48 but what's the solution? You know, I, I, I hear people saying, well, we got to really deal with the people who have mental illness. Well, it's not just about that. And I think that the other part of the discussion has to be not just why we shouldn't ban assault weapons, and I think that's a topic to discuss, but, but more important, what's the real solution to address the issues? Because it seems like, really, the genie has come out of the lamp or the cat's come out of the bag. And it's very difficult to get any control over any of this. And we're seeing an increasing number of people. And yes, a lot of them are certainly minorities, but a lot of people who are being shot and killed, because to a large degree of the so called assault weapons and some of the higher end weapons that people deal with, what's our solution to that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 23:50 Well, I think so. That's, that's a lot to unpack in that question.   Michael Hingson ** 23:59 But I know it's a, it is a complex issue. I know.   Carynn Rudolph ** 24:03 It's a complex issue, for sure. I would say first and foremost, we should look at the poverty rates in America. First and foremost, we need to address the root cause because addressing a tool is not going to get rid of the problem, especially in a country like America, where we have so much access to illegal guns, illegal weapons that are being used to commit crimes on a regular basis. So I think that being able to address root causes, okay, poverty, folks not having equal fair access to health care, or behavioral health services. I think that in order to address poverty, right, like I actually posted a tic tac video about this today. And someone had asked that exact question. They They compared America to Switzerland and said, well, Switzerland has like gun registrations, you know, blah, blah, America, the median income for an American citizen is around $31,000. In a place like Switzerland or other developed nations, it's anywhere from like, $7,000 up, okay? People are going to do what they feel is necessary to be able to provide for their families and for themselves. People need equal access to food, people need access to medicine to health care, they need access to behavioral health services, if we can find ways to increase funding, and I have ideas about ways that we can do that, we were to find ways to increase funding and access for folks to be able to get health care, first and foremost, okay, universal health care. I'm one of those weird people that believes that we should have universal health care. Okay. I'm not I'm not saying it's a weird thing. I'm saying like, I believe we need to have universal health care. I think that, you know, there needs to be there needs to be more funding, or access to behavioral health or social service programs in America. You know, I worked for the youth homelessness organization, like I mentioned, and we, we have, like, back, I went to DC, and in March, I was asking for the government to fund the runaway homeless youth services act, so that we can continue to provide services, and they were like, I don't know, you know, our legislators Where's and so, you know, providing funding for programs like that, to address the root causes that contribute to gun violence would be great. I've heard folks say things like, well, single, single parent, home groups also have like higher rates of gun violence and things like that I don't have the data. I'm not looked into that at home. But being able to address the mental health care, or the mental health problems that folks might deal with, as a result of coming from a single parent home to me would suffice. So yeah, addressing those big items, would be how I would attack the beast called gun violence.   Michael Hingson ** 27:30 I guess my my thought would be that some of that may help. But I still haven't really seen the connection, that, that even if we provided a higher mean income for people, and even if we provide health care, and so on, there are some other issues like the whole racial issue. So many times, black people are shot by white people. And it's oftentimes white people who have at least apparently a better income. And now, we've seen in fairly recent times, some people who have shot other people who got in the wrong car or a basketball that went into somebody else's yard. And so the bottom line is that it has become so indiscriminate that it seems to me, there is still got to be more to it than that. And there has to be some issue or some way to address the gun wielders, a little bit in the process, because it can't all be put at the feet of a lack of income and other things. And I agree that that there is a good amount of that. But I think there is more to it than that. And that B has become so easy. And our judicial system has not addressed some of the issues with some of the people who have shot other people. And they haven't done it very well. It would seem to me at least.   Carynn Rudolph ** 29:00 I agree with that. We saw the young man just this last week, who was shot in the head by a person he went to knock on this man's door. He thought his younger siblings were there. And he was shot in the head. Fortunately, he hasn't passed away. No, he's surviving, surviving, which is very fortunate. I would say that I would encourage I'm the type of instructor I offer a ton of free classes. I would encourage other like instructors to offer those kinds of services as well. Doesn't have to be like all of your classes. All your classes don't have to be free, but you can create like a tiered system to ensure that we're producing well trained and responsible gun owners in America, you know, maybe it's some thing where we create some sort of legislation that folks need to complete some sort of a training. But again, if they if we create legislation that says like, you've got to complete this training, I think that it needs to be accessible, even for lower income folks, if that's something that they're interested in, we don't want to. Yeah, we?   Michael Hingson ** 30:21 Absolutely, if you're gonna do something, it has to be available and relevant to all, no question about that, for sure.   Carynn Rudolph ** 30:28 And maybe there's like, maybe there are government offices, or like police officers who offer free classes and doesn't have to fall on instructors like myself, who offer to offer those free classes. Again, I offer a ton of free class, I teach at least one free concealed carry class among I have a free developing a defensive mindset workshop that I offer all sorts of different things. Everybody doesn't have to be like me, but it shouldn't be accessible.   Michael Hingson ** 31:00 Yeah. And I think there's, there's no question that that makes a lot of sense, and that it needs to be but I think that somehow, it's very difficult to legislate responsibility and people, and I still kind of think that, we're going to have to look at some other options to deal with some of the indiscriminate shootings and, and in general, misbehaviors of people in this country, we think that basically, we have the freedom to do whatever we want, and too many people deal with that and go ahead and do it. And that creates challenges too. Absolutely.   Carynn Rudolph ** 31:45 Yeah, I'm above the fold just coming from corrections. I am, I do believe that if a person wants to commit a crime, they're going to do it regardless. But I do. I mean, coming from the jail, like I saw so many young people who would seek out opportunities just to victimize other people. I don't think we should just do away with guns at all. You know,   Michael Hingson ** 32:13 and I would not suggest that either I'm, I'm not convinced yet that high capacity. Firearms, add value to our ability to protect and I heard what you said about pap, people in wheelchairs can't handle particular kinds of guns and so on. But I think we need to look at ways of making firearms available. But I think that we also do need to look at the realities of how many things are, are being done by high end high caliber, not high caliber, but high end high capacity, rapid fire weapons, that aren't really adding value in society to do it.   Carynn Rudolph ** 33:00 So they aren't rapid fire will say, Well, no, they, they will, unless somebody does sort of like create it has a modification of some sort. They fire one round at a time. And I do want to just clarify, I didn't if I if I misspoke and said that I think that folks in wheelchairs can't handle a handgun.   Michael Hingson ** 33:23 No, I wasn't saying that. You were saying that I but I appreciate what you were saying.   Carynn Rudolph ** 33:27 Okay, yeah, I just I want to make it as accessible as possible. I think that however folks into it, maybe it's at the time, maybe it's just pepper spray, maybe it's a crossbow, you know, however a person determines that they believe they need to protect themselves. I think we should all have equal and fair access to whatever it was we determined. Sure, necessary for ourselves, we need that autonomy.   Michael Hingson ** 33:50 What prompted you initially while you're in your organization is what Goliath tactical firearms training?   Carynn Rudolph ** 33:59 Yes, that is correct.   Michael Hingson ** 34:00 And what prompted you to start it I mean, I appreciate your beliefs and so on, but did something specific happened that caused you to want to have this organization and really teach people?   Carynn Rudolph ** 34:13 So I, like I mentioned I, I was sexually assaulted when I was on active duty. I have been in a relationship that was not necessarily abusive, but we like they they put their hand hands on me when I was younger. I was still in the military when this happened as well. After I got out of the military, I was exposed to a number of different things like I saw. I've seen witness people have their purses snatched. I have had someone try and carjack me. I've had a situation when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter where somebody I was pulling into my parking spot at home And a guy comes downstairs and starts banging on my car hood. And he's banging on my window, I had to call my my ex husband and he came to the window and helped me out, you know, it's a get the guy to go away. But all those sorts of instances that I experienced, I knew that I wasn't the only person in the world. And definitely not the only woman who had experienced that kind of those kinds of situations, I've experienced a lot of different things. And so being able to equip other women and men, individuals, with the tools to be able to protect and defend themselves has been something that was just something that like I wanted to do, I wanted to make sure other people felt like they could adequately defend themselves, if they were ever faced with the same kinds of things that I was. And so I teach firearms safety, I also teach hand hand combat, so self defense that way, and I also teach first aid.   Michael Hingson ** 36:04 So So do you operate a training school? Or do you also sell firearms? Or are you primarily in training?   Carynn Rudolph ** 36:12 I'm in training only. I don't want to sell firearms. I thought about it at one point, but I, I don't want to get into any of that sort of stuff. I just want to do the training stuff. That's all I've got the capacity for right now.   Michael Hingson ** 36:26 Well, in my opinion, that's the most important thing that really needs to be done. And I really wish more people would take advantage of truly learning what it's all about. We, we oftentimes things think we know things that we don't know, or we don't know what we don't know. And that can be a real challenge to so how long have you been training?   Carynn Rudolph ** 36:54 Um, so I have been glide tack fire training has been in business since late 2019. My, I used to teach with my ex husband as well, under Bravo ops concealment, so I used to do that. And then I wanted to do it on my own and started that in 2019. After we split, so   Michael Hingson ** 37:25 keeps you busy.   Carynn Rudolph ** 37:26 It does, it does something that I enjoy quite a bit. And I he sells firearms, so I send all my people who want to buy guns to him. And then he says to the people who want to take classes to me, so we've got a pretty good partnership still.   Michael Hingson ** 37:41 Well as a Marine Corps veteran, and you know, certainly an MST survivor, and so on. How do you use your Jedi training, if you will. And again, for those who may not have picked up on it Jedi is wants you to find it again.   Carynn Rudolph ** 38:01 It is justice, equity, diversity and inclusion,   Michael Hingson ** 38:04 right just to make sure we say that, right? So how do you use your experiences to really inform people and help empower them.   Carynn Rudolph ** 38:14 Um, I share a lot of stories, not necessarily about like the MST stuff in my classes, but I share a lot of stories with folks. And I provide free classes to women who have experienced like domestic violence or sexual assault, like Free Self Defense courses to those to folks who have experienced that. Yeah, I try to provide as much education as possible about how gun control legislation has been historically used weaponized against black folks, indigenous folks, and other people of color. I provide a lot of training on like how folks can get involved in advocacy work in their communities, and things like that. Yeah, so those are the big ways that I do that. And I have some more information on my website about like, ways that we do that. In Depth, I offer a course called the Fair fire workshop as well, that really integrates Jedi principles into the firearms training that we do.   Michael Hingson ** 39:36 Have. So can you elaborate on that a   Carynn Rudolph ** 39:38 little? Yeah. So we've talked about ways that. Again, my concealed carry law has been used to disproportionately affect black and brown folks and how folks can get involved in advocacy work in their communities, and how we can create collaborate To give solutions to get like that goal of that goal of ending gun violence together on both sides of the aisle. So the goal is to have folks who are not super familiar with firearms and stuff like that to come out and take that course, as well. So   Michael Hingson ** 40:24 if I were to make an observation about the whole issue of gun violence, gun control and everything else, I think my chief observation would be it's been way too politicized.   Carynn Rudolph ** 40:35 Yeah, I agree.   Michael Hingson ** 40:37 And so we're not dealing with any of the real issues. And it is just become so politicized on on all sides that it makes it really difficult to have a discussion, it's sort of the nature of what seems to be going on in, in the world, or at least in the US, and probably elsewhere, as well. But that we are, we're getting away from being able to have conversations and learning, which is too bad.   Carynn Rudolph ** 41:04 It really is too bad. And I think that that, you know, I wish that more folks would be open to listen and learn. And that's really one of the goals of that workshop is to get folks from all backgrounds to like to get them to the table so that we can all participate in and contribute to this conversation about ending this epidemic of gun violence. But then also to provide education and resources so that people can equip or excuse me protect and defend themselves.   Michael Hingson ** 41:43 Yeah. Tell me a little bit more, if you would, about the urban youth initiative that you're working on a mental health relating to that, and so on, because mental health is, of course, a buzzword that we hear a lot. And but at the same time, there is a need for really addressing issues of mental health. But tell me more about the European Youth Initiative. Let's go from there.   Carynn Rudolph ** 42:03 Absolutely. That started in 2016. So shortly after I had had my youngest daughter, I was still working in ministry. And I saw several youth, I don't want to say a lot of us, but I had several young people who were involved in my ministry Come Come to me who had been experiencing mental health crises, young people who ran away from home on young people who would report it to me that they, you know, maybe had experienced abuse and things like that. And what I found was that there was not a lot of training from my, like Bible College around like the pastoral care piece that went into supporting people who were experiencing mental health crisis. And so I built a course, in a small workbook called Suicide Prevention for the urban youth worker, and shared that with a ton of youth pastors across the nation and provided training and information and resources to help people who maybe weren't super familiar with or didn't have the tools in their tool belts who handle like crisis de escalation, in that capacity. I helped help them like navigate that. Pastors from all over all over America, utilize that workbook, I shared it with quite a few folks after or in 2020, during COVID, that that like disbanded just because we It wasn't sustainable anymore. But the workbook is still available. And I still share that, that resource in some of the youth pastor and church communications groups that I'm a part of, on social media and stuff so.   Michael Hingson ** 44:08 So is that workbook something that's on your website that people can access?   Carynn Rudolph ** 44:14 Um, yes, it's still on the urban youth ministry. website. I believe I have got to double check. I've got to double check on that.   Michael Hingson ** 44:24 So clearly, je di and firearms training to a lot of people would probably seem like two diametrically opposed concepts. How do you explain that to most people? I think we've talked about that some, but just to sort of sum it up or maybe delve into it a little bit more.   Carynn Rudolph ** 44:44 Absolutely. So what a lot of folks don't like there's not a lot of education around like, the history that, like the history of gun control legislation, the history of the Second Amendment. And a lot of di work, at least the work that I've been involved in, has been learning about the history behind these laws, how they came to be. And then strategically created ways to eliminate the barriers that folks might experience while trying to gain access to certain resources. And so I have, I think that those two intersect, because because a lot of folks don't know the history behind, again, the history behind the Second Amendment and gun control legislation, and so being able to provide that history, but then also share information about how that affects folks today. And then creating strategic solutions to be able to resolve those issues is how those two kind of intersects those two things marry.   Michael Hingson ** 46:06 You know, something I'm just thinking about, is that if you look at the Second Amendment, it basically says that people need to have the right to bear arms to sustain a militia and protect themselves. But then you also got people who would say, but do we really need the kinds of today at least, guns that tend to be more and more appearing in our world in order to fulfill the the the provisions of in the commitment of the Second Amendment? Or is there? Is there some limit to all of that? How do you answer that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 46:50 The Great question, there is gentleman, his name is Tom Gibbons. And he did just a ton of like resource research and stuff like that, if I'm not mistaken, he worked for the FBI, please don't quote me on that. But Tom Givens did a ton of resource research and things like that as data is available, you can find books, things like that. That helps to identify like he studied gun guns, like, like use of force incidents, gun laws, and things like that. One of the things that he found was that on average, it takes 4.5 shots to successfully stop a threat. And so having access to a semi automatic firearm, or you know, sometimes that's more than 4.5 shots, sometimes a little bit less. Having access to a firearm that can, that has the capacity to carry more than four rounds is really important. But then also, having access to a firearm that is easier to manage than a, like a revolver. Like I have some mild dexterity issues from the military. With my my right hand, which would be my dominant hand when shooting, and it makes it really challenging for me to be able to handle a revolver. I don't like shooting revolvers, they're really hard for me to grip with my hand and things like that. Some folks like them, but revolvers are not super easy for me to shoot. And those if we were to get rid of like awesome automatic weapons altogether, we would get rid of everything but a revolver basically. And so it would be really challenging. I'd say for some folks who do have dexterity issues like like myself, to be able to use the tools that they need to to be able to successfully eliminate a threat. Yeah, I apologize. I don't know where I was going with that. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 49:05 but again, are there are there limits? Again, it's still the issue of how do you reconcile the whole issue of what the Second Amendment says it was for at least as I'm assuming that I'm reading it reasonably correctly, with the pleura for proliferation of more and more high capacity and other kinds of enhancements to guns without having any kind of limit at all on what we what we make available to people? It just seems like there. We know that a lot of people don't tend to be very responsible. So is there some limit? Is there some process or governor that we can provide on all of that?   Carynn Rudolph ** 49:52 That's a very subjective statement to say that not Yeah, that one is super responsible. But I would say that Um, high capacity magazines, folks should have access to whatever capacity magazine, they determined to be necessary just because there could be multiple threats or whatever the case is, maybe it takes more than five shots. That's what I was getting at is it sometimes it takes more than five shots to eliminate a threat, or to have a threat stop. And so I think that, you know, taking into consideration the question you asked about, like the history of it, and, you know, looking at like all the well regulated militia, etc. I think that, we also have to consider that historically speaking, black folks, we're not allowed to possess guns, because we were told that we weren't citizens, right. And so the language and that can be really elusive. But yeah, at any rate, I think that, you know, high capacity, folks should have access to whatever capacity to be necessary,   Michael Hingson ** 51:01 it can be elusive. And I do appreciate that. But again, what we're also seeing are a lot of times where people are being shot where there isn't a threat. And how do we deal with that? Um, do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, can   Carynn Rudolph ** 51:23 you give me an example?   Michael Hingson ** 51:24 Well, okay, I mean, the ones that we talked about the father and daughter who were shot, just because they went to get a basketball, or the young man, the 16 year old who went to a house, who, just looking for relatives, and it happened to be the wrong house, but without any questions. The the person in the house open fire, or any number of other examples where we're or any of the school shootings, where people have gone into schools, and they've opened fire, and there have been a significant number of those. But there wasn't a threat in any way, or the guy who, what, two weeks ago in Memphis went into a bank conference room, because apparently, he heard he was going to be fired. And so he killed a number of people and so on.   Carynn Rudolph ** 52:19 All those instances that you mentioned, was specifically thinking about the ones of the lot of school shootings, school shootings, and the gentleman in Memphis, who went into the into his job, shot the place up place like that those places are the those folks targeted those places, because they knew that those people would be unarmed. Now,   Michael Hingson ** 52:44 polling point exactly. How do we deal with a lot of that, though, that because it's an increasing number, and that's the issue is that the bottom line is there, there was no threat there. Right? And so how do you reconcile that kind of thing with the whole issue of a discussion of Second Amendment rights just for anyone to be able to have any gun and so on?   Carynn Rudolph ** 53:06 I think that we there, it's twofold because to address the, like, school shootings and the general like people going into, like, targeting their workplaces and things like that, is one thing. But then like the issue of like, people who were scared scared gun owners just like taking fire on people like the 86 year old guy who shot the kid, the 16 year old kid last week. Like though that's a separate to me that when you deal with that a different way, right, by providing education and then tearing down stigma, addressing racism, addressing unconscious biases that folks might have, and things like that providing education is how you would deal with that issue on that side with folks who are just walking around scared with firearms. On the side of where people are targeting people because they know that they are unarmed school shooting specifically. We'll start there. I think that I'm a I'm a proponent proponent of having SROs in schools. The schools that I went to that I grew up in, all of them had locked exterior doors, like the main egress doors, were all all secured. And we had SROs on site on campus   Michael Hingson ** 54:41 SRO, a security resource officer, yes, school officers security   Carynn Rudolph ** 54:45 resource officer. We had we had them on campus. So ensuring that we have like we're protecting folks in that regard, which is one Same, right? If a person, my I have a twin brother, like I mentioned earlier, he's a teacher. He's an Army veteran, he's a teacher, my mom was an educator for 26 years. And I have a little sister who's also a teacher. So we work with kids a lot in my family. But that said, my mom and my brothers specifically have expressed interest in being able to have that ability to protect and defend themselves, in case they're posed with a direct threat to their lives. So maybe arming teachers who would be interested in being able to protect carry on site, you know. And same thing in workplaces, I actually dealt with a disgruntled employee just earlier this year, and he was making threats to come back and harm me. And with that, like, you know, people were like, are you going to carry your gun? They, you know, and asking those kinds of questions. And so I would say, like, if a person, you know, making sure that people feel like they have the right to carry, if they can, you know, doing away with with gun gun free zones, could be an effective solution.   Michael Hingson ** 56:17 Yeah, I, I mentioned, my friends earlier, they were federal corrections or parole officers. And one of the things they said, was that at night, both of them sleep with their pieces under their pillows. They said, they have to do that, because they never know. Yeah, I believe they're very responsible people, however, but I do appreciate that they have to have that concern.   Carynn Rudolph ** 56:43 Yeah, working in the jail, we would get a lot of, like threats to, like, we're gonna shoot staff on their way out of the building or on the way on their way off campus. And in response to that, we have long, like increased law enforcement presence, in the parking lot to ensure that if someone was going to try and attack one of us, we were protected.   Michael Hingson ** 57:09 All I know is I have a guide dog who says if I don't get my bones on time, you're in serious trouble.   Carynn Rudolph ** 57:14 That's right.   Michael Hingson ** 57:18 Yeah, he's a wonderful lab. He's He's a cutie. Has your background and experience affected or helped you in formulating what you do with the the youth center that you're working at now in Colorado?   Carynn Rudolph ** 57:36 Um, you know, I think that my background and my experience, I love working with young people. And so I don't bring I don't, you know, I don't disclose, of course, to the youth that I work with that I'm a firearms instructor at all. But I use a lot of my behavioral health experience, my my experience from working in corrections, my experience in crisis de escalation, I utilize those that experience quite a bit, I was able to develop a restorative justice program for our youth at our shelter. Because we have like an accountability system. And I was able to revise that accountability system to make it a little bit more equitable, by introducing this restorative justice program so that we could prevent, strike you striking out just due to behavior issues, or whatever. And like, going back onto the streets and things like that. So yeah, I've used I've used a lot of my experience, to be able to better support the young people that   Michael Hingson ** 58:45 I work with. You feel you're making progress, I assume. Yeah.   Carynn Rudolph ** 58:49 It's a really, it's a really rewarding   Michael Hingson ** 58:52 career. Yeah, there's nothing like working with kids. Yeah. And even adults who are like kids, but you got to have the right adults for that. But there's nothing like working with kids. I love to teach and interact with kids. That is so much fun. But I but I know that there's a lot of challenges for kids today. And I know that when I was a kid, it was a whole lot different than it is now. And I wouldn't want to be a parent or a kid today with just so many uncertainties that we all face. Absolutely. Well, Carynn, I've got to tell you, this has been much more fun, and for me a great learning experience than I expected.

We talk a bit near the end of this episode about the Mentor Match scheduled for June 30th and July 1st this year. And there's a lot of other stuff you'll enjoy hearing (we hope)... so tune in! :)

Today I open with some lingering items that have been stuck in my head since the Biden classified documents scandal broke. Since there are several Democrats doing damage control, along with the Legacy/mainstream media, it becomes clearer they are creating two standards at play regarding the Biden Crime Family. After all, we got night after night of how terrible it is for anyone to have classified material in their possession, a la Trump and the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Now, they are having to bend themselves into pretzel's to convince you Biden's mishandling of classified information is much ado about nothing. One of the lingering issues to me is why would Joe Biden be asking his personal lawyers to go on the search for confidential documents when they, themselves, have no clearance? Moreover, why is the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland okay with having them do that? Why are the okay with the FBI having nothing to do with overseeing the search. It doesn't add up to me. The next items vexing me relate to Hunter Biden filling out a background form stating he was paying his dad rent in the amount of $49,910. Now we find out that is the exact same number he said he was renting office space in D.C. to do business with Chinese representatives from CEFC. The question, did Hunter make yet another bone-headed mistake and mix up two numbers in his head or was the specific number more significant? On top of that, if it was rent, why didn't Joe Biden claim it on his own taxes? Side note: isn't it interesting we have heard nothing more from Donald Trump's taxes after he was forced to release them per court order? We only got a momentary story of how he didn't pay taxes or little tax, but we also saw he claimed massive investment losses. In other words, he followed the tax code and did nothing wrong. So, while we wait to see if Hunter Biden made a clerical error or if the $50K/month number represents something else, there is something else bothering related to White House lawyers being used as clerks to search Biden's Wilmington home. Who is making sure taxpayer funds are not being used for Biden's personal use or business? In fact, Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) says, “We're not seeing any firewalls between taxpayer funded White House counsel and Biden's personal, high-dollar lawyers – and that's potentially an abuse of taxpayer dollars.” Karine Jean-Pierre still refuses to answer the questions being asked about the Biden classified documents scandal, claiming she's already answered everyone's question. Isn't it great to answer the question she hears in her own head versus the ones actually being asked? How bad is it getting for the Biden Crime Family when CNN finally admits Joe has been lying about knowing nothing of Hunter's business dealings. Yet, earlier this week, CNN ran a segment showing just how implausible that is. Ironically, the references they used were known to this audience since the middle of last year. So nice of CNN to finally have caught up with my show. Finally, the last lingering item in my head is who is behind releasing this information now? Why now?? Suddenly, we have a story of President Obama's ethics chief tearing into Biden for “appalling negligence” of classified documents and for breaking the public's trust by keeping it quiet for two months. It cannot be ignored that Biden hired so many of the same people who worked in the Biden Administration. Are those who are loyal to Obama the one's pulling Biden's strings and are now getting ready to cut them? Now, let me end on two back-to-back sound bites demonstrating both the elitism and stupidity of those who want to be in charge, crafting rules for all of us to follow, while carving out exceptions for themselves. The first is John “Why the Long Face” Kerry, who believes he and his fellow Davos attendees are the “select” group sent to save the planet. The second is Geraldo Rivera sparring with Greg Gutfeld over AR-16s. After saying it's “not a rifle” he then goes on to say A.R. stands for Automatic Rifle. For all these years, he has yet to learn it stands for the company name, ArmaLite. He is a complete dimwit when it comes to anything related to the 2nd Amendment.

All Gun Control laws are built upon lies. We will demonstrate and offer proof of the lies that are being told to justify the disarming of the American people. And no, a pistol brace is NOT a bump stock. During our Brownells Bullet Points we will consider the modern incarnation of the Armalite 180 and look at a couple of new products. For our Duracoat Finished Firearm segment we discuss color contrast between the gun and the sights.  Also, for our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters we address the dangerous and potentially lethal mistake of substituting a less than lethal tool for a firearm when it comes to self-defense.   Thanks for being a part of SOTG!

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.” (Click Here for Full Article)   From www.newsweek.com: 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.

THE VIC PORCELLI SHOW 0:00 SEG 1 John Lott is the author of Gun Control Myths: How politicians, the media, and botched "studies" have twisted the facts on gun control AP Stylebook Finally Recognizes AR-15s Aren't Weapons of War By John R. Lott The term "assault weapon" is nonsensical. Finally, the Associated Press's highly influential Stylebook followed by the news media is recognizing that fact. As the AP now acknowledges, the term conveys "little meaning" and is "highly politicized." Politicians will obviously continue calling AR-15s "assault weapons" and "weapons of war," as Biden did a few days ago. And many seem to think that "AR" means assault rifle when it stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. But at least some of the media is now recognizing that "AR- or AK-style rifles designed for the civilian market" are fundamentally different than military weapons. https://crimeresearch.org/about-us/ 22:19 SEG 2 Celebrating the life of Paul Sorvino who passed away at the age of 83 on Monday 29:54 SEG 3 St. Louis County Councilman Mark Harder breaks down last night's council meeting.

Well, look no further because We Excuse Every Democrat is the place for you!     At Camp W.E.E.D we pride ourselves in the delusion that we can do whatever the heck we want without any repercussions.

The AR-15 was designed in the mid-1950s by the California-based small arms manufacturer ArmaLite. (“AR” stands for “ArmaLite Rifle,” not “assault rifle,” as is often assumed.) The original AR-15 had a “select fire” capability, giving users the option to shoot in semiautomatic mode; fully automatic mode, which continues firing until the trigger is released; or burst mode, which ejects three bullets per trigger pull. It was intended for the U.S. military, which was in need of a lightweight rifle with expanded ammunition capacity. But after it failed to attract buyers, ArmaLite sold its AR-15 design to Colt, one of America's oldest gunmakers. Colt made some design tweaks to the AR-15, and in 1963 it marketed the rifle (successfully) to the military as the M16. It developed a semiautomatic version of the AR-15 for the civilian market at around the same time.

This likely won't be a regular update for us, but there are so many items in the news, I'm afraid to cover it all in the next podcast would take up more time than you have available, so I thought I would reach out to you today in case you haven't been following the news.   Michael Sussman is cleared of lying to the FBI, but we will cover that in more detail in our next podcast.   19,000 Late, Invalid Ballots Were Counted in Arizona 2020 Election a Report finds maybe there is something to Dinesh DeSouza's documentary, 2000 Mules.   In other political news…. Georgia, why you can't allow Stacey Abrams to be your governor https://www.foxnews.com/politics/stacey-abrams-governor-foundation-abolish-police How can you elect what is in effective the chief law enforcement executive in a state where said politician has declared war on the police and openly is trying to at best defund and at worst abolish the police?   On the world stage: Russians threaten to wipe east and west coast of US with four nuclear missiles https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/russia-u-s-nuclear-missiles/2022/05/31/id/1072307/   OPEC considers excluding Russia https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/opec-russian-oil-and-gas-exclusion-ukraine/2022/05/31/id/1072308/   And today the Biden Administration announces even tougher sanctions. Americans love sensationalism and with all the other vitriol and issues in our country, I believe our line of site to the situation in Ukraine has at best been blurred. Don't forget about this conflict; the temperature is continuing to rise and I don't see an offramp with this kind of rhetoric.   Astra Zeneca Neurological disorders https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/may/rise-guillain-barre-syndrome-following-astrazeneca-vaccine   SCOTUS blocks Texas anti-censor social media law https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/31/texas-social-media-censorship-scotus-00036146   On the home front and the 2nd amendment, the left has reached a fever pitch   Quick comment on the AR-15. AR stands for “assault rifle” correct? Wrong, it stands for Armalite as in the Armalite company and Eugene Stoner designed this model 15. Basically designed as the civilian version of the Military M-16…let's check a couple of differences: The M-16 was based on the AR-15, but the primary difference is that an AR-15 is a semi-automatic weapon meaning that for every bullet fired there is a trigger pull. 30 rounds shot, 30 trigger pulls. With an M-16 fully automatic, 1 trigger pulled rapidly fires 30 rounds. How fast is the difference? According to one manufacturer, the AR-15 has a maximum effective rate of 45 rounds per minute. An M-16, the true military weapon is 700+ rounds per minute. That's quite a bit different. One thing that is stupid & ridiculous but is essential in the narrative is that the guns to the untrained eye, look identical, so it's easy to say “assault rifle” However, semi-automatic is not something just for the AR-15. My deer rifle caliber, 6.5 Creedmoor, actually can be bought in a semi-automatic with Savage Fire Arms with a 10-round clip. The semi-automatic is a staple of American rifles.   Ok, so at least we cleared this up, and on to Biden and handguns…   Biden suggests 9mm handgun should be banned https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-targeting-9mm-pistols-gop-lawmakers-react https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-false-claim-second-amendment-fact-checks https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-ban-handgun-white-house   Canada Sweeping Gun Restrictions - many claim we should be just like Canada, but did you know that Canada does not have the individual right to bear arms in their constitution?   "It will be illegal to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada," the prime minister said.   Canada already has plans to ban 1,500 types of military-style firearms and offer a mandatory buyback program that will begin at the end of the year. It already expanded background checks.   Trudeau has long had plans to enact tougher gun laws but the introduction of the new measure comes after mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, N.Y., this month.   Bill Blair, Minister of Emergency Preparedness, said Canada is very different from the United States.   "In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege not a right," Blair said. "This is a principal that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south. In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes."   US Marine Core goes full Woke https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/06/01/u-s-marine-corps-goes-woke-celebrates-pride-month-rainbow-bullets/ ““We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added, using the hashtags #PrideMonth and #USMC. The statement is accompanied by an image of a Marine helmet adorned with six bullets, each a different color, comprising a rainbow:”   Our military should not be entering the fray. Our military has one job; protect and defend the United States and to exterminate any threat with extreme prejudice. I don't want a woke military, I want a deadly military that every other nation on the earth fears. I believe Reagan once said, no country lost a war because their military was too strong. Does this culture commitment from the Marine Core now make us stronger?   California produces report on black reparations https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-report-comprehensive-reparations   Also, Biden administration is set to forgive $5.8 billion in student debt. One caveat, and remember - we report the truth even if it doesn't support our narrative, in this case, this only applies to the for-profit Corinthian College chain that defrauded thousands of students with empty promises, falsehoods of credit transferability, and falsifying data. It is now defunct, so in this case, I do see a place where government could step in, although I truly believe it should be thru legislation not executive action.   https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/michael-sussman-not-guilty-verdict Like it or not, this is why the American Judicial system is the best ever.

We are discussing gun control and the Uvalde school shooting.Americans have a sick fascination with their guns, it's pathological, almost sexual. May 24 2022, Robb Elementary School, Uvalde Texas – 19 children slaughtered, two teachers gunned down as they tried to shield the students with their bodies. On this black day, yet another avoidable school mass shooting shocks the world. Yet another AR-15 rifle is used to massacre babies. The nation is in shock, but the republican politicians are still refusing to ban assault rifles and pass gun control laws. The gunman bought his two AR-15s and 375 rounds of ammo legally, the day after his 18th birthday. In the United States one cannot buy a beer if they're younger than 21, but buying an Armalite military weapon created for war is legal. If you like our content, please become a patron and get our extra premium episodes. Just as the funerals of the victims of the Buffalo mass shooting are starting, America is faced with another slaughter of innocents. 19 little bodies, so destroyed they had to be matched to their parents by DNA tests, some were unrecognizable. 4 victims are still alive, in critical condition at a San Antonio hospital. The police took more than 1 hour to neutralize the gunman, it appears they arrested a parent, tackled another, and pepper sprayed a third, as these people were trying to get in the school to save the children while police were outside, while the gunman was still shooting inside the school. An 11 year old girl had to cover herself in blood to appear dead, and she stayed still for 1 hour until the police got there. This year we've had more mass shootings in the US than days. We have more guns in the US than we have people. The American academy of pediatrics just said that the leading cause of death of American children and adolescents is no longer car accidents, it is FIREARMS. In the last 26 YEARS, since they banned semi-automatic rifles after the Port Arthur massacre, Australia had 20 people dying in mass shootings. We have 19 children and 2 teachers in one day, on May 24. This comes right after the Buffalo racist shooting on May 14, where 10 people were gunned down in a supermarket. So we have 31 fatalities in 10 days. AMERICA, WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE GUNNED DOWN IN 10 DAYS THAN AUSTRALIA HAS IN 26 YEARS. An AR-15 was used in all these gun massacres: Uvalde: AR-15 Buffalo: AR-15 Boulder: AR-15 Orlando: AR-15 Parkland: AR-15 Las Vegas: AR-15 Aurora, CO: AR-15 Sandy Hook: AR-15 Waffle House: AR-15 San Bernardino: AR-15 Midland/Odessa: AR-15 Poway synagogue: AR-15 Sutherland Springs: AR-15 Tree of Life Synagogue: AR-15 We explain why arming teachers is insanity, why metal detectors and transforming our schools in prisons won't work, and why the only solution is a ban on assault guns, on all semi automatic guns and common sense gun laws, strict gun control, and universal background checks. Also other measures like red flag laws too, but no: this is not about evil and mental illness, all countries have that: what they don't have is guns. And therefore, mass shootings. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, senator Ted Cruz and the mayor of Uvalde Don McLaughlin yelled at Beto O'Rourke when he interrupted their shameful press conference in which they were blaming the “evil”, not the guns. Beto was escorted out by Uvalde police officers. Texas chose Cruz over Beto in the senate race in 2018. Now Texas has a chance to replace Abbott with Beto in the gubernatorial race. Just 2 hours after the massacre, TX governor Gregg Abbott attended a fundraising event: he was counting money while the Uvalde parents were counting bodies. The NRA convention in Houston just days after the tragedy in Uvalde was not cancelled, with Cruz and Trump still attending, while Abbott decided to make a video appearance only.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #126  Jeanelle Westrom Davenport Guns The DC Project   Janelle Westrom is someone who's name I've been hearing for a while.  She's a friend of other friends, and that's almost family in the gun community. Family is what the gun community is about. I reached out to Jeanelle and asked if she'd be up for being a passenger. I was heading to Sioux Falls for a class and I was going to be ‘swinging through' the Davenport area and I could film a show with her.    We met at Davenport Guns and Jeanelle brings me in where she spent the day before shooting Gel Blasters (https://gelblaster.com/) at some friends driving in their cars.  There were a few Gel Blasters in the store and she proceeded to shoot them a bit. I knew this was going to be fun.    Jeanelle's grandpa was a gunsmith, her dad was a gun guy, and she was born with Hoppe's in her bloodstream. Her dad took and her sisters to the range because he needed ‘brass rats' to pick up the brass so he could reload. He spent time in the military and took a job at Rock Island Arsenal, where much of the military firearms went through and it's where the Army does weapon development. With many connections through her father, she was able to build Davenport Guns and their range. Eventually, her father made connections to engineers at Armalite. Yes, THAT Armalite. And he ended up purchasing the drawing for the rifle in 1994. After having the plans for 20 years, he sold the company and did quite well for himself. To keep himself busy, he does the internet sales for Davenport Guns.    Jeanelle started competitive shooting at the Bianchi Cup hanging out with many famous shooters like Jerry Miculek and Bruce Piatt. She made connections from all over the world including Spain, Germany, and Australia during competitive shooting.    While doing HR for a company in Georgia, she found herself at a crossroad at work.  But when her dad called and asked if she wanted to open a gun store, he needed an answer in three hours. After not opening that business, Jeanelle already had the paperwork going for an FFL and she decided to go ahead with the plans anyway. That's how Davenport Guns got started.   The range hosts several training courses as Jeanelle believes that a store that sells guns should also make sure their clients can shoot a gun. She also has over 400 women in her A Girl & A Gun club! In the advertising for the store, Jeanelle shoots.  That alone has inspired several women to buy a firearm and get some training.    Jeanelle is also involved with The DC Project. While she lives in a very gun friendly state, she's going to DC to help other women talk to their politicians. And her senators help Holly Sullivan (RSWC #036 ) &  Brooke Cheney (RSWC #075) on talking with Governor Murphy in Connecticut. Some of her DC Project success stories bring politicians from crossed arms to hugs when she left.    Jeanelle has so many great stories and they're all really funny.  I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I did. Between her father, Jerry Miculek, and the pistol teams from around the world, she's having a lot of fun. There are people that are squeezing the maximum yield out of life. Jeanelle is one of them. She's on the go, doing something, and keeping very, very busy. And she's having fun along the way.    Favorite quotes “I've been very, very blessed in my life to be surrounded by phenomenal people who are willing to teach me stuff.” “Anything you hand me I can shoot fairly well.” “Life is too short to not have fun. You've gotta have fun.” “It doesn't make sense to me to sell somebody their first gun and not have the ability to teach them to be safe with it.” “If I tell you I want you to practice, I don't want to make it cost prohibitive to do so.” “Don't mess with this girl, she cray.”   Davenport Guns https://davenportguns.com/   Davenport Guns A Girl & A Gun Club https://davenportguns.com/a-girl-a-gun/   Davenport Guns Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Davenportshootingclub   Davenport Guns Instagram https://www.facebook.com/Davenportshootingclub   The DC Project https://www.dcproject.info/ Second Amendment Foundation http://saf.org/   Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts, hoodies, & mugs at the store! https://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.creator-spring.com/ Keyhole Holsters  Veteran Owned, American Made http://www.keyholeholsters.com/   Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/  

Adam discovered a love for learning much later in life. After a musical career as Atom & his Package, Adam made what (at least in our opinion) was a natural progression into education, taking his humor, wit and inspiring approach to learning from his performances to the classroom. In this conversation, we discuss everything from being weird in a class just to entertain yourself, the importance of reaching students and the sometimes exhausting elements that go into teaching. Adam is self-deprecating, hilarious and heartfelt, and odds are good that you'll love this conversation as much as we did.

In 2017 an AR-15 military-style assault rifle was stolen from the Santa Cruz Police Department and remains missing. In this hour-long interview, Santa Cruz Police Lieutenant Arnold Vasquez discusses the three-week investigation he led into the AR-15 theft. Lt. Vasquez explains that he was unable to discover when or where the gun was stolen. The AR-15 rifle was discovered missing in May, 2017 and was last seen three months before that, in February, 2017 he said.    The SCPD AR-15 theft was not made public and some current Santa Cruz City Councilmembers, and the police auditor for the city, learned of the missing gun from me.     My three-part series on the SCPD stolen AR-15 was published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel and is available online:  https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2021/02/11/ar-15-stolen-from-santa-cruz-police-department-four-years-ago-still-missing/amp/    The AR-15 was originally manufactured by ArmaLite and is now produced by Colt. The AR-15 is the civilian/police version of the U.S. military’s M-16 rifle that was the standard issue weapon for U.S. soldiers during the catastrophic war on Vietnam. In addition to the AR-15 some of the other military-style gear that the Santa Cruz Police Department has includes an armored personnel carrier, flashbang grenades, grenade launchers and sniper rifles.      This interview was originally broadcast on Feb. 25, 2021 on “Transformation Highway” on KZSC. 88.1 FM, kzsc.org. 

On today's episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dave and Sam talk about Eugene Stoner.    Eugene Morrison Stoner, the father of the AR-15 and the M16, is a titan in the world of both military- and civilian-use firearms. If he had done nothing but design the AR-15, his name would go down in history. But, of course, he did so much more than that. In addition to changing the landscape of American firearms, as well as the world stage, Stoner was also the archetypal “self-made American man,” working his way up from nothing on a high school education to forever change the world as we know it.   Born in Gosport, IN, in 1922, Stoner attended high school in Long Beach, CA, before working at the Vega Aircraft Company installing armament. Once World War II started, he enrolled in the United States Marine Corps, specializing in Aviation Ordnance. He served in Northern China and the South Pacific.   In 1945, at the war's end, Stoner went to work in a machine shop owned by Whitaker, eventually working his way up to design engineer. In 1954, he went to work as the chief engineer for ArmaLite, then a division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation. His first projects were forerunners of the AR-15, with creative names like AR-3, AR-9, AR-11 and AR-12. These were all prototype small arms that never saw production. He did, however, see success with the AR-5, which was used as a survival rifle by the United States Air Force.   In 1955, Stoner completed the initial run of design on the ArmaLite AR-10. This was a revolution in the world of small arms – a weapon that boasted a compact size, was easy to fire and didn't weigh too much. The AR-10 was chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO, and was first tested at the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1956. It beat the competition largely due to its comparatively compact size. Still, the weapon was originally rejected in favor of the T44, which became the M14, mostly because of its late arrival in the testing cycle. Dutch company Artillerie Inrichtingen manufactured the AR-10 under lease until 1960. But this didn't mean the AR-10 was anywhere near done.   You can read the full article “Eugene Stoner: The Forgotten History of the Man Who Created "America's Rifle" – the AR-15” at Ammo.com.   For $20 off your $200 purchase, go to https://ammo.com/podcast (a special deal for our listeners).   Follow Sam Jacobs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamJacobs45   And check out our sponsor, Libertas Bella, for all of your favorite 2nd Amendment shirts at LibertasBella.com.   Helpful Links:  Eugene Stoner: The Forgotten History of the Man Who Created "America's Rifle" – the AR-15 History of 223 Ammo Resistance Library  Sam Jacobs

What are we drinking Andrew - Coors Original Ian - Rum and Coke Gavin -Havana Club & Coke Zero Dave- ultra AR-15s   A Brief History of Time Born in Gosport Indiana, in 1922, Stoner attended high school in Long Beach, California, before working at the Vega Aircraft Company installing armament. During World War II Stoner enrolled in the United States Marine Corps, specializing in Aviation Ordnance. He served in Northern China and the South Pacific. In 1954, he worked as the chief engineer for ArmaLite, then a division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation. His first projects were forerunners of the AR-15, with creative names like AR-3, AR-9, AR-11 and AR-12. These were all prototype small arms that never saw production. He did, however, see success with the AR-5, which was used as a survival rifle by the United States Air Force. In 1956, ArmaLite designed a lightweight selective fire rifle for military use and designated it the ArmaLite Rifle model 15, or AR-15 ArmaLite sold the patent and trademarks to Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1959. After Colt's patents expired in 1977, Colt retained the trademark and is the exclusive owner of "AR-15" designation. Now dozens of companies make AR-15 type rifles and their component parts.    Generally AR-15s are considered a light weight semi-automatic rifles chambered in intermediate  calibres. The AR15 design was based on the US Army’s requirement to use 223 Remington (later 5.56mm NATO) ammunition. Stoner’s original prototypes were scaled-down AR-10s that had been designed around 308 Wincester (7.62x51mm NATO) Canadian Gun Laws Any AR15 or derivative is considered restricted by name in Canada’s Firearms laws. Meaning you need a restricted license, and it can only be used at government approved ranges. You can however have as many styles and variants as you want, from short barrelled “pistol” ARs to 20” HBAR National Match rifles, to pistol calibre carbines, to 6.5mm projectile hurling rifles.  Fully Automatic AR15s are prohibited by Orders In Council.  Favourite (or Least Favourite calibres) - Let the ‘tism commence .22LR, its cheap and no recoil .223 Remington/ 5.56mm NATO 300 Blackout .224 Valkyrie Your Current Favourite Build - Embrace the ‘tisim Andrew’s Wonder Gun Motiuk Upper Receiver $180 Matador Arms Regulator Muzzle Break $200 Spike Bolt Carrier Group $215 International Barrels Inc 14.5” 223 Wylde $400 Samson Evolution Rail $185 Magpul RSD QD Sling point $30 Aimpoint CompM4 $790 Midwest Industries Backup Sights $285 Streamlight ProTac light $205 BCM Gun Fighter Charging Handle $80 Spikes Tactical Lower Receiver  $180 Geissele Super Tricon Trigger $330 Magpul BAD lever $40 BCM Pistol Grip $40 Battle Arms Development Ambi Safety $80 VLTOR A6 Stock assembly EMOD Stock $300 Blue Force Gear Vickers Sling $100   $3,700     Dave 3-gun/dream gun Ascend armory receiver set with ambi bolt release/catch and flared magwell 650$ MRA 18.6” fluted nitrided barrel with MRA 3 port muzzle brake 500$ MRA 17” hand guard 350 Adjustable gas block 100 Faxon low mass BCG 300 JP silent captured buffer system 350 Matador fury grip 80 Strike industries ambi safety and handguard grip 80 Radian Raptor SD charging handle 110 Trigger tech adaptable trigger 280 Minimalist stock 50 2850$ plus theft    Gavin - Noveske SBR 7.5” all noveske parts aside from 2 stage geissele trigger and maritime bolt catch and maxim defence PDW stock and magpul enhanced mag release and buis.

We continue our discussion with Dave Sabben, picking in the in the second half of July. The base was being heavily reconnoitered.  We discuss the preparation for the defences at Nui Dat.  Dave suggests that Canberra believed that the base was considered to be safe and unlikely to be attacked. The South Vietnamese intelligence was treated as suspect, as was the US intelligence because a lot of it was sourced from the South Vietnamese. A radio intercept unit was located at Nui Dat.  They were tracking the morse code communications.  With direction finding, the sigint was providing some good intelligence showing a large force moving towards the east of Nui Dat 2.  The shelling on the 17th of August by mortars, RCLs and at least one artillery piece.  B Coy was sent to locate the location of the mortar base plates and attempt to track down the force responsible.  Tracking the enemy was laborious, in dangerous terrain.  B Coy remained out on the 17th and D Coy was sent to relieve them. D Coy finds bullock tracks and blood stains leading into the rubber plantation.  The tracks split and 10 Pl follows one and 11 Pl follows the second with 12 Pl bringing up the rear. An minor obstacle crossing drill is conducted by the Coy as they come across a cattle fence.  Sgt Bob Buick, the Pl SGT for 11 Pl sees 6 - 7 enemy soldiers with slung AK-47s, completely non tac.  He opens fire with his Armalite, hitting at least one.  Six 6 vs a platoon with 30 troops is a good troop ratio orders Maj Smith gives LT Sharp to follow up the enemy.  Shortly, they are engaged by a force that looks like another Pl, so the Coy needs to to reinforce 11 Pl.

In typical Revolution 2.0 style, we’ll start with a hoped-for common goal: Barring the sale of firearms to (and confiscating from) those who have shown tendencies, red flags, that might indicate they would abuse guns, while still allowing law-abiding citizens to enjoy the safe use of well-defined firearms. We are not starting from scratch; we have thousands--tens of thousands--of gun control laws on the book. Step one is to better enforce the laws we have now. More attention to individuals waving red flags needs to be supplemented with better intra-governmental agency cooperation and far better use of government technology. We know from experience that many DMVs do not enforce the legal requirement that drivers carry liability insurance, which is why most of us must carry uninsured motorist insurance. It is easy to show proof of insurance when initially needed, then cancel it. The computers with that information are not used to follow-up. Similarly, most of those who are in the US illegally simply have overstayed their visas. And unlike those those who tiptoed across the border, visa applicants are in the government's computers. Let’s start our discussion by addressing the gun ban and confiscation that some are calling for (and others want but are not yet ready to speak up honestly). Calling for “gun free zones” is an example of the latter. Having gun free zones in a country with as many guns as people is exactly like having no-peeing zones in a public swimming pool. The folks running those pools know that is impossible, so they don’t allow urinating at all. With the exception of the truly naive, people calling for gun free zones in the US know they must fail, and eventually will have the opportunity to demand the total gun ban they wanted all along. Other folks, equally wrong both strategically and tactically, want to toss out all of the nation’s illegal immigrants (like gun confiscation), with no more allowed in (like a gun ban). Those who hope to ban and confiscate guns are as wrong morally, strategically and tactically as those who want to ban immigration and toss out all illegals. Now, let’s look at what we learned--if anything--from Prohibition--the alcohol ban. In 1920, the 18th Amendment to the Constitution prohibited the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcohol. Those in favor of the ban called alcohol, “America’s National Curse.” (Sound familiar?) The results was that people still drank, but instead of buying alcohol at local restaurants and shops, they bought it from gangsters. Like Al Capone and his thugs. Businesses suffered and collapsed; crime soared. And people still drank. Recognizing that the cure was far worse than the disease, the 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition; the only time in our history that an Amendment has been repealed. Let’s learn from history, not repeat it. Let’s remember, as we talked about in an earlier podcast, gun control, like immediately stronger school safety (the best way of stopping the next shooter), are both, correctly and necessarily, dealing with the symptoms of what we are facing, not the underlying cause. We will deal with that cause together in an upcoming podcast. For now, dealing with the symptoms is designed to keep the patient comfortable, and, in this case, alive until we can identify and deal with the root causes. Some specifics: “Ban AR-15s.” OK, let’s look at that. BTW, AR does not stand for automatic rifle; it stands for Armalite, the original manufacturer. It is a small caliber, high-velocity, semi-automatic rifle. It is the semi-automatic version of the military M-16 which is capable of fully automatic fire. The “fully automatic” part is what makes the M-16 a military weapon. Pause for a definition of semi-automatic: “able to fire repeatedly through an automatic reloading process but requiring release and another pressure of the trigger for each successive shot.” Merriam-Webster. If we are looking at banning the AR because it is a se...

**Correction** In this episode, Jared incorrectly identifies "AR-15" as standing for "assault rifle".  This is a common misconception and needs to be corrected.  The "AR" stands for ArmaLite, which was the original manufacturer.  We'll post a couple of links in the show notes page, too:  http://reddit.com/r/peacefultreason. In this episode, we take aim at the polarizing topic of gun ownership and gun violence, specifically regarding mass shootings. Another mass shooting has hit public schools; this time in Florida, and the shooter has claimed the lives of 17 students and faculty. Do the presence of guns in society make us more violent? Are guns to blame for these tragedies, or is there a more complicated explanation within the zeitgeist? Gun control is a real threat to human freedom; and due to the fact that government is inherently a monopoly on force, banning firearms is just another step toward solidifying this monopoly. When this happens, dangers are on the horizon. You can resist this monopoly by exercising your right to firearm self-defense and by supporting gun advocacy organizations that raise awareness about gun safety and training. These are examples of Peaceful Treason.

GREETINGS ALL AND WELCOME TO EPISODE 19 OF THE ENIGMATIC CINEPUNX!! FIRST OFF WE WANT TO THANK OUR SEMI-SPONSOR FEDERAL DONUTS!! Basically, we love Federal Donuts! So we asked if we could get free food if we talked about them on the show, and they said yes! Sick! Then I forgot to email them before we recorded. So we actually paid for these donuts. OOOPS!! Anyway, they are still great! This episode we sit down with Jeff Ziga, co-owner/founder of Little Baby’s Ice Cream, and Philly punk personality! Jeff has been in a glut of bands, many of which we discuss on the show like Affirmative Action Jackson, Knives Out, and Armalite. Jeff also worked for This Is Hardcore Fest for 3 years and for R5 Productions for I dunno how long! The episode is kind of all over the place. We start off talking about Jeff’s various bands, and then we move into our usual discussion of Wack and On Track! Then we get into our space movies discussion, which comes from see Interstellar recently and because Josh saw 2001: A Space Odyssey on 70mm. To be fair, we just enjoy each other’s company so much that the discussion ranges all over the place. Liam mentions how parts of Les Miserables makes him cry. Jeff discusses senior week, pot brownies, and Event Horizon. Josh gets into a story about farting in a space simulator. Things get a little crazy. We spend the whole time eating donuts, and then name dropping other brands we want free stuff from including Red Wings and Relapse Records. I think Jeff had a good time. Big surprise, there are some sound issues, and trying to fix them actually made some of them a little worse. Basically we have been playing with the input levels for the mics, trying to cut down on blow out or on echo. In this case, Liam’s mic has an echo issue, and then later all three mics get a little weird. Nothing awful really, but if you are looking for us to crack the sound code, we have not yet done that. In fact, if you have any idea how to help us, please let us know. The issue seems to be either our equipment, which is basically 3 usb mics in a laptop and recording with Kristal; or just poor operating by us. Either way we would love your insight or your affordable sound equipment so we can update our set up. We also mention toward the end of the episode that we are looking for new guests. That is for real, and hit us up to be on!! Big thanks to Jeff for being on the show, if you have not yet had Little Baby’s Ice Cream do your taste buds a favor and get some ASAP!
