Thanks to the viewers and listeners of Riding Shotgun with Charlie! I wanted to reach out and let everyone know that I really appreciate all the support and encouragement that I get for doing the show. It's great to hear that folks hear about passengers on other shows and see that I had them on the Stagecoach. Or better yet, when a fellow podcaster listens to a show to get some back story on a guest and then have them on their podcast. Either way, it's a feeling that the show is going well and helping people learn about others in the firearm community. I was talking with a friend who I call “B-L” Lisa and she thought that doing a Thank You show would be a great way to end the year. I wasn't sure what format I could do the show. Then talking with John Petrolino, he gave it some direction. Despite the pandemic and shutdowns, the loss of jobs and income, 2021 was a successful year! Thanks to these folks for making 2021 successful for The Stagecoach. I got to go hunting with CNJFO, played the Star Spangled Banner in Florida, spoke in Dallas, took training in New Hampshire, South Dakota, Ohio, and Massachusetts. I kept teaching classes in Massachusetts for residents to get their License To Carry. And kept doing Utah classes in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. All along, making new 2A friends! I was able to film more shows than ever before. That meant I was publishing episodes more than ever! From the end of March until November, I put out a show every week. And even in November, I put out shows 3 out of 5 Tuesdays. This year, I published over 40 shows! Gun folks are the greatest folks. RSWC displays many of the movers and shakers in the firearm community in a very different situation, much more intimate and relaxed and off guard. There's a great blend between serious topics, some humor and lightheartedness, and comfort with all of the passengers on the show. Next year, there's going to be more shows, more passengers, and more traveling. My goal is to complete the 5 states East of the Mississippi where I haven't done shows. And get a few more states West of the Mississippi. It wouldn't mean a thing without viewers and listeners. I've got an online store going for sway and merch, which you can find below.

Your small private outdoor range is nestled in a hill, in the middle of 48 acres, and even it is facing a similar crisis. Talk to us about what is happening. 2) What does it boil down to? Is this a 2nd Amendment issue, a Special Land Usage Zoning, or a Noise Ordinance issue? 3) How helpful would it be to you and your neighbors if we had passed the Hearing Protection Act to make suppressors more practical to own? 4) If you could tell the neighbors ONE THING THAT MAY CHANGE THEIR MIND, what would it be? 5) What is your greatest NEED currently? How can we help not just your small outdoor range, but other small outdoor ranges overcome similar issues?
Riding Shotgun With Charlie#118Dr. John EdeenDoctors for Responsible Gun Ownership I've been running into Dr. John Edeen since I first went to GRPC in 2016. He's always been a speaker. And he's been brave enough to model for the concealed carry fashion shows that I've emceed as well. He was braver when I asked if we could be roommates for the Florida Carry Speaker event this past March. Since we were riding to the event together, it was the best time to film a show. Last year at the Florida Carry event, Dr. Edeen spoke about what to tell your doctor when they ask about firearms in the home. Here's the link to get the article. https://drgo.us/position-statements/the-gun-question/ Dr. Edeen came from a family that helped others. His parents worked with the Salvation Army. His father helped psychiatric patients who were released from the hospital and helped them manage their money, help them get food to eat, and brought in psychiatric help as well. He knew from the 7th grade that he wanted to be a doctor. In order to help pay for medical school, he did the health profession scholarship program which had a military obligation to it. He did an orthopedic internship at Oakland Naval Hospital. He spent 2 years as a medical officer on the USS Peleiu, an amphibious assault ship. After traveling around the world, he ended up back at the USS Peleiu. While on the coast of Mogadishu, he applied for his pediatric orthopedic fellowship which brought him to Springfield, MA. He eventually made it to San Antonio, TX, and has been there since the mid-1990's. The Rodney King incident happened while he was in Oakland, and that seems like it might be a good time to learn about firearms. Like many out of the military, he pursued getting a Beretta 92, or the M9 as the military calls it, because that's what he's familiar with. Then he started acquiring handguns much quicker. Dr. Edeen really enjoys training and learning. He's done most of the classes with the Massad Ayoob Group, MAG 30. 40. 60, 80, 120, & 180, with Mas himself. He's become good friends with Mas and Gail, and has helped Mas with some cases that involve needing some medical opinions. After taking lots of training and getting his carry permit in Texas, the absurdity of not allowing doctors to carry inside hospitals hit him. This is the kind of thing that got Dr. Edeen involved in Second Amendment activism. It's kind of cool that Dr. Edeen was asked by Mark Walters to attend the GRPC and Mark is also responsible for getting me to GRPC, too. At GRPC, Dr. Edeen talked with Dr. Timothy Wheeler, DRGO founder, and asked what he can do to help DRGO. When Dr. Edeen proposed a resolution for his area doctors to carry at the hospital, it was voted down. But after a family member of another doctor had their life threatened, this doctor decided it was time to consult Dr. Edeen on some firearm training. This is how the group started to grow and increase in numbers. Besides the great articles about healthcare and firearms, you'll find the 2adoc website helpful to find doctors who are Second Amendment friendly. There are some good articles by Dr. Edeen on the DRGO website that you'll be interested in reading. Favorite quotes: “You can refuse to answer or just lie. It's none of his business.” “A lot of these people have been brainwashed by establishment medicine to think that they're actually helping. And they're not.” “The lawyers say no, no, no, no. That would be dangerous. Being massacred, that's not dangerous. But a doctor carrying a gun? ” (Where is the sarcasm font?!) “The signs work right up until the time the don't work.” “We're the anti-Bloomberg school of public health.” Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership Website https://drgo.us/ Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership Facebook www.facebook.com/DoctorsForResponsibleGunOwnership 2A Doc List https://www.2adoc.com/ You need to join the Second Amendment Foundation http://saf.org/ Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Buy RSWC & GunGram shirts, hoodies, & mugs at the store! https://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.creator-spring.com/ Help support RSWC and get some stickers! http://ridingshotgunwithcharlie.com/rswc-shop/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#109Rob BeckmanFirearm Trainer's PodcastAmerican Defense Training A few months ago, John Petrolino reached out and connected me with Rob Beckman. Rob was looking for an instructor in Massachusetts for his podcast, Firearm Trainer's Podcast. I listened to a few episodes and really like Rob's format for helping instructors on the business side of things. I was on Firearm Trainer's Podcast back in April, FTP #109. How ironic that he's episode #109 of RSWC! https://www.firearmtrainerpodcast.com/2021/04/12/ep-109-being-a-firearm-instructor-in-massachusetts/ Recently in Sioux Fall, SD, Rob and I were both students at the MAG40 course, taught by Massad Ayoob himself! There were several other podcasters in the class. It was hosted by Paul & Susan Lathrop of the Polite Society Podcast. Amanda Suffecool (RSWC #009) of Eye On The Target Radio, the Polite Society Podcast, and the DC Project was a student. So was Robyn Sandoval (RSWC #080), from A Girl & A Gun and DC Project. And Neil Weidner from Active Self Protection was also a student. One of the MAG Staff was Tracy Becker, also with Polite Society Podcast. Many of us were staying at the same hotel, so Rob & I filmed shows while we were carpooling to the class. Rob started shooting at a young age and got some formal training while earning the Rifle Shooting Merit Badge in Boy Scouts. He's spent years hunting. He's been a trainer for a number of years, then decided to work his way to be an NRA Training Counselor, which is who trains the trainers. He also teaches the USCCA courses, too. He started the Firearm Trainer's Podcast to help give back to the firearm community and to really help his instructor students help with the business of running an instructing business. Once someone decides to be an instructor they get educated on firearms, safety, and teaching the curriculum. But often they don't have a lot of business guidance. (I know I didn't.) FTP is a great resource. I've been listening for a while and I really get a lot from the show. This episode is a bit different from others. Rob and I rode to the MAG40 class and we filmed segments every morning on the way to class. We talk about the drills we did on the range. We also talk about some of the things we learned during the class as well. When you take the MAG40 class, you will learn that there's so much more to the legal aspect of using a firearm in self defense than just saying “I was in fear of my life”. Or talking to the police and saying ‘I think I'm having a cardiac arrest. I need to go to the hospital”. Or what's even worse is when you talk to an old family friend who used to be a police officer and they say “Shoot the bad guy and drag his body back into the house and put a knife in his hand.” That will certainly get YOU in jail and up on murder charges. The shooting drills we worked on were great. We did several stances, tweaked grips, and used some uncommon shooting positions to simulate shooting around objects. We had a new handgun shooter in the class and she ended up being the ‘most improved student' of the class. She was able to take home Mas' signed target...which was a perfect score of 300! Rob had the second highest score of 297. I got 286. I'll admit, I started throwing shots when we got to 15 yards back. I was thinking about which stance we were supposed to use. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Please check out the link to Massad Ayoob Group for classes. There's a course in Manchester, New Hampshire in August, 2021. If you'd like to get a sample of the class, check out In The Gravest Extreme, written by Mas back in the 1970's. https://www.amazon.com/Gravest-Extreme-Firearm-Personal-Protection/dp/0936279001/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1LOMOSHXNHZJX&dchild=1&keywords=in+the+gravest+extreme+by+massad+ayoob&qid=1623717573&sprefix=In+The+gravest%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1 Favorite quotes: “My formal education in firearms began when I was in Boy Scouts.” “To help educate the instructors, how they can be the best instructor for their students.” “I became an instructor because of your podcast.” “One of the downsides of being an instructor is you don't get that much trigger time.” “Most lawyers don't spend more than a half a day on defense law.” Firearm Trainer's Podcast https://www.firearmtrainerpodcast.com/ Firearm Trainer's Podcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/firearmtrainerspodcast American Defense Training https://americandefensetraining.us/?fbclid=IwAR31DKiP7uBwDBthY1ovjz64P2VUMCljHSLJuaJFyWffJvynoZ_18cQdY3U Massad Ayoob Group https://massadayoobgroup.com/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

The aim of this conversation was truly to understand the nuts and bolts of selecting and carrying a concealed weapon with no glitz and glamour, just a man training for a few special occasions that he hopes he never has to show up for. Mickey has been studying and training in personal protection for most of his adult life. His content and videos of real-world principles and concepts concerning all things firearms is really what prompted this conversation. After really digging in, it became apparent that Mickey has really grown up into the realm of personal protection as a result of a number of tragedies and experiences with death that he had throughout his life. Everything from how to select your first weapon to ammo selection and holster preferences and how to tell if someone else is wearing a firearm is covered in this interview. Conversely, we go deep into a number of different topics that are not firearms related but have to do with various other governing principles of personal protection as well. Enjoy! Owner and Instructor Mickey Schuch is a firearm instructor, for Pistol, Rifle, Shotguns, Personal Protection Inside the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home, a Range Safety Officer and a member of Illinois Tactical Officers Association.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #045 Massad Ayoob The Man, The Myth, The Legend! What can I say? He’s been the self defense go to guru since the 1970’s. He’s been influential on instructors, police officer, and authors since he started. He started the Lethal Force Institute in New Hampshire. LFI turned into Massad Ayoob Group and the MAG 20 and MAG 40 courses. Mas has author two dozen books in guns, the effects and aftermath of dealing with a lethal encounter. The Gun Rights Policy Conference in Tampa 2016 is when I first met Mas. I asked him to sign my copy of In The Gravest Extreme. I also mentioned Riding Shotgun With Charlie and I’d love to have him as a passenger. Alan Gottlieb was behind him and he say “Mas, you’ve GOT to to Riding Shotgun With Charlie!”. Mas said “OK, when do we do this?”. I said “Well, I don’t have a car, but if you give me your contact I’ll see what I can set up.”. I was shocked it was “that easy” to ask. I went to New Hampshire in the summer of 2018 to hear Mas speak about suicide prevention. I spoke with his wife Gail Pepin about the possibility of setting up and interview and she was very receptive. Kevin Sona (RSWC #043) asked me to speak at the Florida Carry event in February 2019. Then he tells me that Mas is speaking as well would I be interested in having him on RSWC. Um….YEAH!!! After speaking at the event, Mas agreed to get into the passenger seat, drive around with a stranger, in a place neither of us have been to. This was a big deal for me. I can’t thank Massad Ayoob enough for taking the time, sharing some stories, and having a few laughs. And to Gail for hanging out while we did the interview. And of course, thanks to Kevin for having the event and asking both of us to speak. You can find all things Massad Ayoob at https://massadayoobgroup.com/ . You can buy his books on amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Massad-F.-Ayoob/e/B001H9VYZS?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1554733415&sr=8-2 Videos can be found on https://www.youtube.com/user/gpepin1/videos You can listen to Mas and his crew on the Pro Arms Podcast at http://proarmspodcast.com/ Backwoods Home is another outlet for articles by Mas. https://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/MassadAyoob/ Massad Ayoob Group Facebook page www.facebook.com/MassadAyoobGroup/ Pro Arms Podcast http://proarmspodcast.com/ The Broad Cast (podcast) http://proarmspodcast.com/category/proarms-broadcast/ Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/

Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Qadir on Widening the 2A Tent. (Diversity and Inclusion in the Firearms Community) David sits down with the lovely, armed and responsibly dangerous Ms. Tiffany Johnson, Esq. of the FrontSightPress blog, and her partner Aqil Qadir of Civilians Safety Academy, to talk about diversity and inclusion in the Second Amendment community. Joined by David's wife for her first-ever podcast appearance, the group discusses how the firearms community is often its own worst enemy in terms of welcoming others to the fold. They also take to task the NRA for its questionable marketing tactics and lack of ownership for past mistakes. Listeners may be interested to learn that many of the United States' gun laws have historically-verifiable racial beginnings. What role did the NRA play in them? Listen and find out. You might be surprised! We can't thank Tiffany and Aqil enough for placing their trust in us to come onto the show and talk about an issue that so many shy away from. We hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. We certainly left with two extraordinary new friends as a result. About Tiffany Johnson: Tiffany is a “late bloomer” who underwent a 180-degree-conversion in the world of firearms. She grew up subscribing to common fears and misconceptions about guns and gun owners. After college, she reluctantly enrolled in a Rangemaster handgun safety course, and she was hooked. In addition to being mentored by Tom and Lynn Givens and other Rangemaster instructors, Tiffany has also trained under Jim Higginbotham, John Farnam, Craig Douglas, Massad Ayoob, Jeff Gonzales, Marshall Luton, and several respected veterans of the self-defense community. She is member of the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation, and she has earned instructor credentials from the State of Tennessee, the State of Mississippi, the National Rifle Association, Massad Ayoob Group, and Rangemaster (Advanced Instructor Certification). Tiffany is also a lawyer and a teacher, teaching college courses at the University of Memphis where she coordinates their legal studies program. Prior to starting her own business as a freelance legal writer and researcher, she practiced personal injury and civil rights law. About Aqil Qadir: Aqil is the founder and lead instructor of Citizens Safety Academy. His background as a firearms instructor started at age 12, teaching urban youth in his father’s gun club. He followed in his dad’s footsteps, becoming an NRA Certified Instructor at the age of 22. Together they have been teaching Handgun Carry Permit classes since 1993. Aqil has over 20 years of law enforcement experience, and more than half of that time was spent as a police firearms instructor. Since leaving law enforcement, his passion has been teaching responsible citizens how to protect themselves and their families.

Mas is a frequent guest on the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast and for good reason. He has a very strong background in the legal aspects of self-defense and the use of lethal force as well as in defensive shooting. MAs is the owner of the Massad Ayoob Group and travels the nation teaching defensive shooting, the ins and outs of the legal aspects of the use of lethal force though his flagship course, the MAG-40 which we will be hosting in May of 2018. In addition, Mas is a prolific writer and he has teamed up with Marty Hayes of the firearms Academy of Seattle to offer instructor development courses in the use of deadly force. Today we are going to talk about fun, interesting and educational topics such as: Who should be looking toward the revolver as a self defense tool How you can learn to shoot a revolver better through a better grip and trigger press How a revolver can help you to learn to get your hits Why revolvers are great tool for learning to shoot your Semi-Auto better A comparison between the 442 and the 340M&P And a whole lot more.

The Pro Arms Podcast is one of the best and most informational podcasts on the internet. Their training speaks for itself as part of the Massad Ayoob Group. Gail joins me on this episode.
When I teach concealed carry classes (and I try to average 1 CCW class each month just to stay in touch with those new to defensive handguns) I am always impressed by the number of people that are ignorant of the legal aspects of self-defense, especially the use of deadly force. I shouldn't be so surprised. The legal system can be complicated and when it comes to self-defense it is even more complicated that one would hope for. Many attorneys don't understand the finer points of the legal system and self-defense. The problem is that when it comes to both the criminal and the civil legal systems in the U.S., ignorance is not an excuse for stepping outside the bounds of the law. This leads us to another challenge. Often people that are ignorant don't know they are ignorant. How could they? How can people know what they don't know? It is for this reason that I host Massad Ayoob and the Massad Ayoob Group every year for the MAG-40 course. This is an outstanding opportunity to learn what you don't know and need to know abut the legalities of self-defense and the use of lethal force. If you depend on a gun for self-defense, the MAG classes should be considered required. Today we take a tiny look at what you should be seeking out when it comes to legal knowledge. You see, there are things that you can do, simple things, before, during and after a violent encounter to help and reduce the likelihood of you running into an undeserved legal quagmire that can easily cost you 10's of thousands of dollars to defend against and could cost you your physical freedom and/or your personal financial security. The steps are simple so listen carefully and then take action!

It would be nice to live in a world where a good defensive shoot was a good defensive shoot. The unfortunate reality is that there are many things that can get involved in the legal aspect of self-defense that simply don't belong there. Of course sometimes people make errors, or they misunderstand, but people also attack others for political gain and in the name of “social progress.” When you consider what is at stake when you find yourself in the legal system as the result of a defensive gun use, it makes sense to consider how you can position yourself best to avoid the potential loss of freedom and the serious financial consequences that can come from a bout with the legal system. Massad Ayoob on Deadly Force Massad Ayoob began writing in the firearms industry in 1971 and as an author, law enforcement officer and expert witness he quickly became the industry's noted expert on the use of deadly force. Mas continues his work today traveling the country and instructing law enforcement officers and armed citizens in the use of deadly force and the legal defense of the use of deadly force. Massad Ayoob Group's MAG-20 is a 20 hour lecture based course designed to help the layman understand the critical nuances that make self-defense law different from other forms of criminal law and for the cost of less than two hours with a top criminal attorney students are able to get a more solid grasp on self-defense law than most attorneys receive in their formal education. Each year Safety Solutions Academy hosts Massad Ayoob for both his MAG-20 and MAG-40 course which includes 20 hours of live fire training. Dates for the 2016 courses will be coming soon. What you Can Expect to Learn: What specific actions you can take today to reduce your legal profile should you need to defend yourself or other innocent people. Defensive handgun modifications that should be avoided and modifications that are good to go. What legal concepts are important to understand and where you can learn about them. How to find a good attorney so that you have the legal representation you need. And much more!
