In this episode, Shane explores what this recent tragedy reveals about modern culture, from bystander behavior and situational awareness to the importance of being prepared, staying calm under pressure, and living with a clear mind. Why do so many people reach for their phones before helping? What does real courage look like? And how can we become the kind of people our families can count on when life takes an unexpected turn? This isn't about fear. It's about responsibility, preparedness, and building a life that's ready for whatever comes next. Episode Highlights: The Twin Falls In-N-Out shooting Why people film instead of act Situational awareness and emergency preparedness The value of sober-minded decision-making Firearm responsibility and training What high performers do differently when chaos strikes ️ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share it with someone who believes a clear mind could make all the difference.

Send us Fan MailWhen we talk about police reform, we usually talk about body cameras, policies, accountability, or use of force. Those are important discussions, but I think we're missing something much more fundamental.What if one of the biggest police reform issues isn't what officers do?What if it's whether they're physically capable of doing the job in the first place?Let's be honest about what police work actually is.A police officer may spend most of his shift writing reports, answering calls, directing traffic, or talking to people. But that's not what defines the profession.The profession is defined by what happens on the worst day.It's defined by the foot pursuit.It's defined by the fight.It's defined by dragging someone out of a wrecked car.It's defined by wrestling with a violent suspect who has no intention of going peacefully.It's defined by sprinting across a parking lot, climbing a fence, jumping a ditch, and then making good decisions while your heart rate is 180 beats per minute.And while you're doing all that, you're carrying somewhere around forty pounds of equipment.Body armor.Firearm.Extra magazines.Radio.Handcuffs.Taser.Medical gear.Flashlight.Everything that comes on a modern duty belt.Think about that for a second.We ask officers to perform athletic feats while carrying the equivalent of a loaded backpack.In almost any other profession we would recognize that reality immediately.If I described someone whose job required running, fighting, climbing, carrying weight, making split-second decisions under stress, and performing in front of the public, most people would assume I was talking about a professional athlete.But for some reason we don't treat police officers like professional athletes.We expect athletic performance without athletic preparation.And that wasn't always the case.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) new Firearms Safety System application is now open ahead of the August 1 implementation of Senate Bill 25-003 (SB25-003).The new law establishes firearms safety training requirements for the purchase or transfer of specified semiautomatic firearms in Colorado. CPW is required by statute to implement and administer the program and to report annually to the Colorado General Assembly on program costs and resource needs. Starting Aug. 1, 2026, individuals seeking to purchase or transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm (SSF) must apply to the county sheriff's office for an eligibility card and then successfully complete an in-person firearms safety course within five years of the transaction.CPW held 18 in-person engagement events around the state, as well as three online meetings to explain the changes, answer questions and gather feedback for implementing the new legislation. In this episode of the Colorado Outdoors podcast, we talk with CPW Firearms Safety Program Manager Dan Coil, as he goes over everything Coloradans need to know regarding the new law.More information about the Firearms Safety Program is available on CPW's website.Podcast hosted by Regional Public Information Officers John Livingston and Kara Van Hoose. Podcast edited by Meghan Lopez. Art19 is the host platform, and people can also find the podcast online at https://art19.com/shows/colorado-outdoors

John Maytham speaks to Ian Cameron, DA MP and Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, about what these figures reveal regarding the scale of South Africa's illegal firearms problem. We'll explore whether law enforcement is doing enough to stem the flow of illicit weapons, the role of organised crime and corruption, and why intelligence-led policing may be the missing piece in tackling one of the country's most persistent drivers of murder. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Daniel Schmutter, lead counsel for the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs in its challenge to New Jersey's "assault weapon" and magazine ban, joins Cam to share his take on the Third Circuit decision striking down the ban, as well as what happens next.

In this episode, we sit down with Matt and Kevin from MK3 Firearms to talk about their business, their passion for classic platforms, and the work that goes into restoring older firearms while bringing them into the modern era. Matt and Kevin walk us through several specific projects and explain how they approach each build from both a historical and practical perspective. We discuss the challenges of working with older designs, sourcing parts, correcting decades of wear, and deciding which original features should be preserved versus which areas can benefit from modern improvements. The conversation also explores how advances in materials, machining, optics mounting, ergonomics, coatings, and manufacturing tolerances can dramatically improve the reliability, handling, and overall performance of older firearm designs without taking away the character that made them iconic. Beyond the technical side, we also talk about the growth of MK3 Firearms, the craftsmanship behind their work, and what separates a true restoration from a simple modification. This episode is a great listen for collectors, builders, military firearm enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the history, engineering, and evolution of classic platforms. Join us for an in-depth conversation about preserving the past while improving it for the future.

Firearms instructor Jackie Emslie joins Cam to preview this weekend's Legally Armed in Detroit event, where hundreds of women are expected to take their first shots and learn about real gun safety.

What would your dream movie firearm loadout look like? This week on the Acceptable Accuracy Podcast, Kyle and Philip are joined once again by Casey and Paul for a draft unlike any we've done before. The challenge was simple: come prepared with your picks—but don't tell anyone ahead of time. Each of us had to choose a firearm from three categories: a Realistic firearm made famous by movies or TV, a Plausible fictional weapon that feels like it could exist, and a Total Fantasy firearm where absolutely anything goes. From iconic revolvers and futuristic battle rifles to over-the-top sci-fi blasters, we compare our choices, debate the best picks, and inevitably question each other's judgment. Which firearms stood the test of time, which fictional designs seemed surprisingly practical, and which fantasy weapons were just too much fun to pass up? Tune in, hear our picks, and let us know what your three choices would be.

In this high-energy episode of The TMA Connection, Tim Markland brings on Mike Thomas—a certified firearms instructor with Team Grizzly USA and a loan officer with SWBC Mortgage. The episode kicks off with the hilarious and true story of how Tim blindfolded his real estate team and drove them to an undisclosed ravine in for a surprise gun safety clinic. Mike breaks down the essentials of overcoming the initial anxiety of shooting, the "gap vs. gain" mindset, and the non-negotiable rules of firearm safety at home and on the range. He clears up common misconceptions around  concealed carry laws, the 5 legal elements of self-defense, and how tools like the Mantis dry-fire system can build real confidence without spending a dime on ammo. To wrap things up, Mike steps right back into his loan officer hat to give a candid breakdown of where mortgage rates are heading, how inflation impacts bond markets, and how buyers can stay smart in Harford & Cecil County's tight housing market.

Ton Jones is known by many as the larger-than-life personality from Auction Hunters, but behind the television career, firearms expertise, and decades in the outdoor industry is a story shaped by loss, resilience, responsibility, and human connection.In this deeply personal conversation, Ton joins Michael Sodini and Kevin Berry to discuss the unexpected rabbit holes he discovered while listening to the Guns & Mental Health podcast, his concerns about how suicide prevention and firearm policy are approached, and why meaningful progress requires people from different communities to sit down and truly listen to one another.Ton shares a powerful story about supporting a suicidal veteran during a hunting trip, reflects on helping researchers better understand firearms at SHOT Show, and explains how his years working in Hollywood taught him to translate complicated and emotionally charged topics between people with very different perspectives.He also opens up about surviving on his own as a teenager, losing nearly everything when his home was robbed and burned down, the sudden death of his father, the loss of his grandfather, and the lessons that helped him rebuild rather than allow grief and anger to consume him.The conversation also explores responsible firearm ownership, the family traditions that shaped Ton's understanding of safety and secure storage, and the daily practices he now uses to protect his own mental wellness.This episode is ultimately about showing up: for family, for friends, for veterans, for people who are struggling, and even for those whose perspectives may be very different from our own.Because sometimes a conversation, a phone call, a shared campfire, or a simple question “How are you doing?” can help bring someone back to life.Send us Fan MailWalk the Talk America would like to thank our partners who make these conversations possible and would like to highlight our top two partner tiers below!

Our guest today is Dr. Beth Alcazar. Beth is the editor-at-large for the USCCA, is an award-winning writer, blogger, and instructor with nearly three decades of experience in the firearms industry. She is the author of Women's Handgun & Self-Defense Fundamentals and Children's Firearms & Safety Fundamentals, and has testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Second Amendment issues. But she most often describes herself simply as “just a mom with a gun.” 1) What's driving mothers to prioritize personal and family safety right now? 2) Talk to us about the growing interest in non-lethal self-defense options, and when are they appropriate? 3) Why does awareness remain the most effective first line of defense? 4) What does responsible, family-centered preparedness look like at home and in public? 5) How do people follow you?

This is the All Local afternoon update for July 17, 2026.

This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts ask the eternal tabletop question: what happens when your beloved fantasy RPG grows up, gets a driver's license, discovers firearms, and immediately becomes everyone's problem? We begin with PishPash My Memory is Trash merch, accidental mug design crimes, Pride, wizard bazookas, and Ash's long-simmering legal case against the movie Bright. Then we get to the real issue: how do you let someone fight Tiamat with an Uzi without turning your campaign into a spreadsheet, a war crime, or Shadowrun with the serial numbers filed off? Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew takes a deep dive into adapting fantasy tabletop RPG systems like D&D and Pathfinder to other technology levels, including modern fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk-adjacent worlds, post-apocalyptic settings, and anything else where a greatsword might have to share table space with a grenade launcher. Tyler walks through the history of previous attempts to drag D&D-style mechanics out of the dungeon and into other genres, including d20 Star Wars, d20 Modern, Star Wars Saga Edition, Star Wars 5e, and the often-forgotten Modern Magic Unearthed Arcana. Along the way, the hosts dig into how those systems handled things like armor, hit points, wounds, vitality, class design, talents, occupations, reputation, and the eternal question of whether getting shot with a blaster should feel worse than being poked with a longsword. The conversation turns into a practical design checklist for anyone trying to run fantasy rules in a modern or sci-fi setting. The big issues are weapons, armor, hit points, movement, vehicles, skills, tools, hacking, currency, magic, classes, monsters, and access to dangerous gear. A gun that does more damage than a sword is easy to write down. Making that gun fun, balanced, available, expensive, illegal, scary, and not immediately campaign-breaking is the actual work. The hosts also wrestle with the big philosophical question: at what point have you changed D&D so much that you should just play a different game? Tyler's rule of changing three major things makes its return, Ash argues for fantasy with modern aesthetics, Randall brings up comet-based magic awakenings and Maximum Overdrive, and everyone briefly imagines what happens when a party of adventurers has to fight a kaiju from inside a tank. Finally, the Question of the Week asks the most important dice-related question possible: what is your favorite die, and which one deserves to be thrown into the sea? Ash defends the d8 and declares war on the foot-stabbing d4. Tyler gives some love to the underappreciated d12. Randall hates the actual d100 because it is basically a tiny chaotic bowling ball that refuses to stop rolling.

You have to rethink combat assumptions, armor, hit points, movement, skills, equipment, enemies, and the economy. Previous d20-based games offer useful examples. d20 Star Wars experimented with wounds and vitality. d20 Modern used basic classes tied to ability scores, occupations, talents, and advanced classes. Star Wars Saga Edition showed some early design DNA that later appeared in 4e. Firearms and modern weapons change the math quickly. A pistol, rifle, grenade, or blaster can make traditional fantasy damage assumptions look very strange unless the system accounts for armor, accuracy, availability, legality, and consequences. Armor may need to work differently. In a modern game, characters probably are not walking around in plate armor, so armor might reduce damage, resist ballistic attacks, or be replaced partly by class-based defense or plot-armor-style scaling. Hit points can still work, but they need a clear interpretation. They might represent luck, stamina, near misses, tactical positioning, or cinematic survival rather than literal meat points. Vehicles change encounter design. Horses and overland travel are one thing. Cars, motorcycles, tanks, aircraft, and spaceships make movement, chase scenes, distance, and random encounters much more complicated. Skills and tools need updating. Computers, hacking, piloting, driving, engineering, and modern medicine may need to be skills, tool proficiencies, lore-style specialties, or full subsystems depending on how important they are to the campaign. The modern world makes Strength harder to justify unless the game gives it a reason to matter. Close quarters, carrying capacity, melee restrictions, grappling, armor, and specialized builds can help keep strong characters relevant. Classes may need reskinning rather than replacement. A barbarian might become a super-soldier, a rage-serum bruiser, or a minigun-wielding menace. A cleric might serve an ideal, philosophy, cosmic force, AI god, or belief system rather than a traditional deity. Magic can stay magical, become technology, or sit beside technology. Fireball might still be a spell, or it might be a grenade, a rocket launcher, a plasma weapon, or a problem for your insurance provider. Monsters still work if you treat them thoughtfully. Vampires, mind flayers, zombies, kaiju, and the Tarrasque can all survive in modern settings if their defenses, tactics, environment, and narrative role make sense. Access matters. Just because tanks, RPGs, and military hardware exist does not mean the party can buy them at Fantasy Costco. Price, legality, scarcity, black markets, and consequences are balancing tools. Currency may be better handled abstractly. Modern money can become tedious fast, so a wealth stat or resource system may work better than tracking every nickel, dime, credit card, crypto wallet, and suspicious suitcase full of cash. Tyler's three-change rule is a useful warning sign. If you need to make three huge changes to force D&D into another genre, consider whether another RPG already does what you want better. The episode's greatest lesson may be this: you can absolutely kill Tiamat with an Uzi, but first you need to know what that does to armor class, encounter balance, campaign tone, and the local black market.
