Riding Shotgun With Charlie #177 The GOAL Podcast Garet Holcomb & Jeff Strider   Finally, I was able to get together with Jeff Strider and Garet Holcomb from The GOAL Podcast. Jeff & Garet are both board members of Gun Owners Action League. I've known them for some time and we've run into each other at all the GOAL events, of course, and at the SIG Academy in New Hampshire, too. I do need to say that we filmed this before HD.4420 was released as a bill.  We talked about how the Gun Law Listening Tour was going and speculated how it was going to turn out. Now we know.    The GOAL Podcast is also ranked in the top 5% of all podcasts according to John Petrolino's (RSWC #093) recent Bearing Arms article. Besides that great news, Jeff & Garet enjoy doing the podcast and fortunately the roles on the podcast does not have anything to do as GOAL board members and they'll keep doing the show when their terms expire.    Garet grew up in California but got the gun bug in South Carolina when he was a young man. After some safety rules lessons, he found himself taking the shotgun out to the woods and really enjoying some hunting. Back in California as an older teenager, Garet and his friends would shoot washing machines and what not, as it was legal back in the 1980's to do so. After some time in the military, Garet ended up in Massachusetts. In 2016, the then AGAG (Anti Gun Attorney General) of MA, the now Governor, Maura Healey, made an edict saying that anything that looks like an AR is an AR and she banned the sale of any new ARs.  That's when Garet got more involved in the gun/civil rights movement. He's since become an instructor as well. Last year, the three of us ended up doing some instruction at a ladies event.    Jeff would do some paintballing with friends when he was a teenager. He had a neighbor that was a police dispatcher and suggested he get his license. During the course, Jeff was hoping for more. The firearms used in the course here Ruger Mark I & IIs. He was hoping for some handguns that were a little more exciting. He also has taken the instructor route, with several certifications. He's also taken several courses and trains regularly. On The GOAL Podcast, Jeff does a training segment with a drill of the month.    Garet and Jeff met back in 2016-ish.  That year, GOAL had a rolling rally after Healey's egregious move. A couple years later, Garet was elected the vice president of a local gun club and learned about the opening on the GOAL board from Jeff. Of course, it's been great connecting with all these pro gun people in the community. Garet and Jeff both do some instructing with Bill Dalpe (RSWC #154) at Patriot Firearms School. Jeff recently helped a ladies class with Kerrie Ann Auclair (RSWC #139), who runs a local chapter of Armed Women of America and is the MA leader of The DC Project.   There was a GOAL Podcast years before they started doing the show. I told them there was even a radio show from Worcester, MA, called The GOAL Line. I used to record those onto a cassette with my stereo back in the early 2000's. The old version of the show slipped in the timing and got behind and then left behind. The gents took the equipment and heated up the mics to resurrect the podcast.    It was really fun to have time with the guys and get them in the stagecoach. We drove to a local Mexican restaurant with Garet in the front seat and drove back after with Jeff in the front seat. You'll get to know them better here. You can listen to episode 100 with me as their guest, too.  Favorite quotes:  Garet: “When she (Maura Healy) did that thing, that to me was like one of the most brazenly cynical and just disgusting things that I've ever seen a politician play out in real time.” Garet: “What bothers me the most about the situation (in Mass) is the lack of any meaningful opposition.” Jeff: “You gotta have fun shooting. That's what keeps people coming back.” Jeff: “Can I shoot? Should I shoot? Do I have to shoot?”   The Gun Owners Action League Website https://goal.org/   The GOAL Podcast https://goal.org/goal.org/podcast Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun   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, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/   Buy a Powertac Flashlight, use RSWC as the discount code and save 15% www.powertac.com/RSWC

Alison S. Fell's book Warrior Women: The Cultural Politics of Armed Women, c.1850-1945 (Cambridge UP, 2023) examines women warriors as vehicles of mobilisation. It argues that women warrior figures from the mid-nineteenth century until the end of the Second World War are best understood as examples of 'palimpsestic memory', as the way they were represented reflected new contexts while retaining traces of legendary models such as Joan of Arc, and of 'travelling memory', as their stories crossed geographical borders and were re-told and re-imagined. It considers both the instrumentalisation of women warriors by state actors to mobilise populations in the world wars, and by non-state actors in resistance, anti-colonial and feminist movements. Fell's analysis of a broad range of global conflicts helps us to understand who these actors were, what motivated them, and what meanings armed women embodied for them, enabling a fresh understanding of the woman warrior as an archetype in modern warfare.

Our Founding Fathers had the vision to give us the 2nd Amendment. Giving citizens of the United States the power to resist tyranny, the 2nd Amendment allows for security and safety in our society. The United States was founded on the belief that a good citizen is responsible for their own security. The time it takes Law Enforcement to respond to a crime has dramatically increased over the past few years. Peace Officers cannot be everywhere, and criminals know this. This means if a crime is happening to you, you are pretty much on your own! Rampant crime is an indication of the breakdown of society. The Constitution states that individuals have the right to bear arms. This right allows U.S. citizens to protect themselves, their families, and others in their community from criminals. These numbers are the reasons why women make up the fastest growing demographic of new gun owners. Not only do women own guns for protection of themselves, but also protection of their family. With the recent rise in crime, the percentage of women owning firearms for personal protection is growing exponentially.  At the same time gun ownership by women is rising, women are increasingly seeking out information so they can gain the proper knowledge, skills and training for the safe and proper handling and use of firearms. Firearms instructors across the nation are reporting a rise in the number of women students who are signing up for classes, more than ever before. Not only has there been a rise in the number of women who are attending classes as students, there has also been an increase in the number of female instructors who are teaching firearm classes. It is now common to find “women-only” firearms classes advertised and conducted by female instructors. Exercise your 2nd Amendment right and gain the knowledge, skills, and proper attitude to promote firearm ownership and the safe and responsible use of them! Learn more about your ad choices.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#161Renee Gagne & Kerrie Ann AuclairSisters In Arms, DC Project After I had Kerrie Ann Auclair (RSWC #139) on the show, we became friends. She invited me to an Armed Women of America chapter anniversary celebration and I met Renee Gagne there.  The party was fun and I even danced! Then one of them had the idea that they should get in the stagecoach for a dual interview. After Renee became the Rhode Island representative for the DC Project we talked more about making it happen.  Then they started their own local access show. They hoodwinked me into having them on my show, then they took me to be a guest on their show, Sisters In Arms.  Kerrie Ann and Renee are Sisters In Arms. Really!  They both got into shooting and had a yearning for more training. But after several trips to a local club and having several of the guys want to take them out for a date rather than help them, they decided they needed to learn somewhere else.   Kerrie Ann learned about The Well Armed Woman  (now the Armed Women of America - AWA) and started a chapter.  They both became NRA and MA State Police certified instructors through the Gun Owners Action League. And they started training more women.  Sometimes, a woman wants to learn about firearms from another woman because they may be domestic abuse survivors or getting out of a bad relationship or divorce, which is very understandable.  They have built their chapter with in person and online/virtual training sessions. The ages of their members are from young women up to women in their 70's! Their group meets once a month. They have a learning segment and they hit the range, too.  Their training has helped them realize that there are folks that are ‘casual' gun owners and that many people don't dry practice (dry fire) in between meetings.  We spend time talking about some training issues and family issues about having a firearm in the home. It's very important that everyone is familiar with firearm safety and that there is a safety plan and everyone knows what it is, too. One of the big things in the family is to not make owning a gun taboo. We need to make firearms a normal part of life. We need to let new (and non-)gun owners know that firearms have several uses, from self defense, recreation, and competition shooting.  Starting a chapter led to activism and The DC Project. Kerrie Ann took the role in Massachusetts and Renee just took the Rhode Island spot. Their chapter got some local recognition on the front cover of the newspaper, which led to an interview on the local access station.  While they were filming as guests, they had the idea to host their own TV show. They took the newspaper article title, Sisters In Arms, and made that their show name.The show is going to focus on getting the word out about firearms, safety, and activism, but also that gun owners are regular people that you see around town.  Many people in MA are closet gun owners who don't want it to let others know that they own firearms.  This is a show that was fun to film and make a better connection with Renee and Kerrie Ann. These ladies are out there doing; instructing, activism, and leading. In the middle of the show, we stopped to grab a selfie of a billboard someone has on their property. Of course, since we're in Massachusetts, we had to stop and get a Dunkin'!   Favorite quotes:Renee: “We just wanted to learn. We were really super excited about learning. And that was just getting in the way of our learning.” Renee: “The reality is most of us will never shoot anyone.”Kerrie Ann: “You have to be your own first responder and understand what that means.”Kerrie Ann: “Some of the women that come to us are domestic violence survivors…” Email: SistersInArms202@gmail.com Armed Women of Americahttps://armedwomen.org/   The DC Projecthttps://www.dcproject.info/   SIsters In Arms, Episode 1 on TCAMhttps://vimeo.com/772136657 Second Amendment Foundationhttp://saf.org/ Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Armshttps://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.  Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts & hoodies, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store!http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   Keyhole Holsters Veteran Owned, American Madehttp://www.keyholeholsters.com/   Dennis McCurdyAuthor, Speaker, Firewalkerhttp://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Networkhttp://sdrn.us/

Morgan Mills – Wild & Uncut Podcast EP 022   This episode of the Wild & Uncut Podcast was recorded at the NSSF SHOT Show with special guest, and one of Kristy's dearest friends, Miss. Morgan Mills. If you are looking for some trade show hacks, these two will take you down a rabbit hole of tips and tricks to thrive during the trade show season. Plus, they talk about Morgan's recent engagement, the importance of marriage, checking off bucket list items in life, to breaking down the complexity of what it is that she does in the country music industry.  They take a big turn and talk about the self-censorship that had been occurring in country music circles and the artists that are breaking free of that to support not only the Second Amendment but also hunting and conservative values. Morgan truly uses her platform to serve and empower. She is as an NRA firearms instructor, NRA Country TV host, Girls with Guns TV contributor, and Second Amendment advocate working side-by-side with groups like Armed Women of America. They talk in depth about big-tech social media censorship, how young adults are penalized for being conservative, Second Amendment advocates and how groups like, Turning Point USA, that are supporting these future decision makers on college campuses and into the workplace. And, they talk about how hunters are providing meals and basic medication to impoverished countries while funding conservation efforts around the world.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#141Val Evans“Mama Bear”Armed Women of America   Last October, I was emceeing the Rod Of Iron Freedom Festival at the Tommy Gun Warehouse at KAHR Arms in Pennsylvania. It was a great event and I got to hang out with some of my 2A friends, including Stephen Willeford, RSWC #088, and I got to make new friends.  Stephen, a few others, and I spent about an hour talking at the hotel and he mentioned that I should have Val Evans on the Stagecoach. He gave me her contact number and I reached out. She lives in Virginia and I was going down to film some shows.  When I asked if she was interested, she said yes!   Val has an amazing story, one that can happen to anyone at any time.  I know folks say that all the time, but this is really true. Her husband is a police officer and one year for her birthday, she wanted to go to the police range and go shooting. One night while her husband was working there was a knock on the door. She looked through the peephole and saw it wasn't a neighbor. It was a stranger pounding on the door, breaking it in two places.  Val was home alone with their daughter. She enacted the plan, which was to call 911 and get the gun.    Once she was armed, she heard glass break and realized that he was coming in through the window. While she was on the phone with dispatch, she was able to find him and get a few shots on him, on his hand and in the groin area. Her daughter called out to see what was going on and she told her everything was fine. The police arrived and that's when she put her gun away. Ultimately, she wasn't brought up on charges for defending herself, but the criminal wasn't brought up either as he wasn't able to let her know his intentions.  He was on drugs and didn't know where he was.    Fortunately, this brought Val to The Well Armed Woman (now the Armed Women of America). She was filmed for a segment on The BlazeTV for a TWAW at an instructor course. As an instructor, she helps empower women through firearms training and her story of self defense. She also shares with us the story about being asked to speak at the NRA Annual Meeting in Indiana.  It didn't occur to her that they were asking a lot of questions and were doing a background check on her, which seemed a bit strange. At the NRAAM is where she not only met Stephen Willeford, but also met President Trump.  Even with training, support, and friends, this was still a difficult thing for Val to deal with.  It took a few years to get over the PTSD that she had from the incident. One of the most helpful things for her was training other women that they can handle situations like this themselves and sharing this helped Val, too.    One of the main lessons I learned from her story is that you NEED a plan for safety, regardless if it's at home, work, or in the car.  She was a dispatch herself and learned what she needed to do.  Her dispatch work came in handy and she did just as they planned, get the gun, call 911.  Favorite quotes: “This was the plan, to call 911 and go get the gun.”“The judge was basically like “okay…and…”“I will put down the gun when the officers arrive on the scene.”“It took a lot to get back to myself.”“I was so scared that I was going to get in trouble for shooting him.” “Everyone I talked to was like ‘I couldn't do that'. I was like ‘Yes, you can!'” “You want to know how to use it even if you don't have to use it.”   Armed Women of America Website https://twawshootingchapters.org/   Armed Women of America Instagram https://www.instagram.com/twawshootingchapters/ 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, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   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/

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#139 Kerrie Ann AuclairThe DC ProjectArmed Women of America   I have a YouTube playlist of all the DC Project (DCP) members who have been on the show.  When I found out Kerrie Ann was the new member for Massachusetts, I sent her the list and asked if she would be on the show.  Last fall, we both took a course from Gun Owners Action League (GOAL) and had a chance to talk  and set up an interview. A couple weeks after the course, Kerrie Ann went to Florida for the DCP Summit for the first time.    Kerrie grew up here in New England and was very anti-gun when her children were young and she was a new mom. Like many folks, there was an incident that changed her situation on a dime. There was a home invasion in Connecticut, where the father/husband was tied up while the criminals/murderers beat and raped with wife and daughters, then set the house of fire. The father was able to escape the home.  Kerrie's husband heard this story and wanted her to get a firearm to protect their family. After a neighbor who is also a police officer took them to the range, Kerrie was a new woman and wanted to learn much more about firearms and self defense.    While craving to get more training and education, Kerrie found Kelly Pidgeon's (RSWC #056) channel ARMED and Feminine on YouTube.  She immersed herself in the videos on Kelly's channel. While they two were messaging, Kelly encouraged Kerrie to start a The Well Armed Woman (now Armed Women of America - AWA) chapter. After she found a host range, they had 30 women at the first meeting and all of them signed up to be TWAW members!  Neither Kerrie or her assistant were instructors yet but they had a club. One of the most moving things is the stories the other women shared with Kerrie about why they wanted to get a firearm. There is really a strong need for women to learn and train with female instructors.  With the defunding of police and the riots of 2020, more and more women are wanting to get trained in firearms.    We spend some time sharing stories about teaching out children firearm safety and even some pepper spray safety.  But we also talk about how owning firearms changes how the extended family sees us and what we're doing, living the 2A lifestyle. Of course, the answer to their questions is ‘it's a bunch of nunya bidness'! Unfortunately, it's too bad that others don't accept that there are different strokes for different strokes!   Kerrie is also the new DCP representative for Massachusetts. This is a title she isn't taking lightly. She's working with some local women to educate MA residents how to work with and speak to our state politicians and share their stories. She tells us about when she finally got to the DCP Summit and had the chance to meet Kelly Pidgeon and the others. I'm excited that she used my DCP playlist to learn about the others in the group.    Besides the DCP and the AWA, she's started her own training business, Ways To Be Empowered.  She's trying to stretch out the training to women and men teaching courses and giving private lessons. She's also working on building her own YouTube channel and media reach. Kerrie Ann is definitely someone we all need to be watching and following, not just on social media, but in her actions as well.  Favorite quotes: “I was very adamant about having no toy guns in the house. And then it switched.” “We understood how important it was to be supportive to these women, to train in a non-threatening environment.” “You are your first responder.” “Most of the people I talk to do change their mind….If they decide to have a firearm, we're here to help.” “I will never stop fighting for what I think is right.” “Everyone's got their own super power.”   Time stamp   The DC Project  https://www.dcproject.info/   Armed Women of America Website https://twawshootingchapters.org/   Armed Women of America Instagram https://www.instagram.com/twawshootingchapters/   Women Instructor Network Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/616828449367358/members   Way To Be Empowered Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/waystobeempowered/ 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, stickers & patches, and mugs at the store! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/   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/
