What's up Bros? We've had a couple weeks of decent RHOC. This week starts out with some family stuff as we see Tamra and Sofia check out LAMI. Jenn asks Evangeline to stand with her for her nuptials with Ryan. Both of these scenes were genuinely sweet and we enjoyed them, but it did beg the question.. this late in the season, is this all we got? The ladies head to self defense class and the 98 degrees rumor comes up again in regard to Tamra. She catches wind and decides to confront Gretchen who is 100% back pedaling from her part in this rumor. We are looking forward to the reunion, and if the season can coast at this pace for the remainder, we're cool. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alicia Reitz and I dive deep into how BJJ can be used to develop a strong sense of self confidence for everyone, and how that self confidence can then be put to good use in self defense and the the rest of your life.  We also digress a little into specifics of the social media drama that I was involved in recently, which certainly raised my blood pressure just a little.   Alicia Reitz (Hon.B.Kin, B.Ed.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #238 Sarande Diane Kyle Wayne Culotta's Fiance   Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. I got a call a few weeks ago from a fellow instructor, Michele Granache, who also runs a women's group called Pistol Sisters. She asked if I wanted to interview Kyle Wayne Culotta's fiance, Sarande Diane. Um….YES!   Here's the scoop on Mr Culotta. First, he's an Air Force veteran. He & Diane were moving to either northern Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire from Arizona. He's from the Grand Canyon state, she's from the Bay State. Sarande has family and friends in central Mass.They traveled 2,500 miles without any issues. While in Gardner, Mass, doing some Door Dashing to make gas and food money. Until they made some money, they were between living in their car and staying with friends.  Driving through a rotary and failing to yield, they were pulled over. The officer found out the insurance wasn't up to date either. So he wanted the car impounded. The officer told them to take out what they needed from the car. Being from “free America”, Kyle went to get his carry handgun, which also happened to have a magazine with more than 10 rounds in it. Which, of course, is illegal in Massachusetts, where liberty was born. And has died.    Kyle was sent to prison without bail as the judge thought he was a flight risk and a danger to society since he's from Arizona. Things are very fuzzy as he isn't a resident of Mass. He wasn't quite traveling through the Commonwealth. And he had some handguns and a long gun that he was going to sell to help pay to get them up and going.    This past weekend, I got to spend some time with Sarande getting to know her and learning more about Kyle's case. The Gun Owners Action League is helping with the case, getting some good pro Second Amendment attorneys to help. Kyle has been locked up since late June 2025. The issue with all of this stems from Chapter 135, which is the wildly anti-gun law that the AGG (Anti-Gun Governor) signed in July of 2024. Governor Healey even signed an “emergency preamble” to get the law into effect earlier than 90 days after she signed it. Then gave the state 18 months (547 days) to figure out what the new training requirements will be to obtain a license to carry.    One of the things that came up is that there was an 18 year old man on Cape Cod who said he was going to shoot up a school and he was building guns. He stalked a school that he attended. There were even issues about this in 2024 with him wanting to harm students at the school. But when it came down to it, his charges were dropped to almost nothing and the court determined he isn't a threat despite saying he wants to harm people. One big lesson is that before they had some Second Amendment attorneys, they had some public defenders. The offer the PD came up with was 3-4 years in prison and zero ability to buy firearms ever again. Should you ever end up in a situation with a firearm, you are going to need an attorney who is well versed in Second Amendment issues. Not a public defender.   There's lots of ways viewers can help. People can donate to the Give Send Go they've set up. Or you can donate to GOAL's website, too. With 29 states with permitless carry, the states most affected by the Bruen decision are still fighting for their civil rights.  I had a chance to talk to Kyle before we filmed the show. He's a great guy, locked up due to a stupid law, and has zero criminal intent. Sarande is a sweetheart of a woman who is fighting like hell to get her man out and free again. Tune in and check out this wild story.    Favorite quotes: “They assumed he's out by now. But he is not.” “My grandparents were dreaming of America, not Worcester.” “We had everything we owned in the car, including firearms.” “The mags are what they deemed him dangerous on.” “Dictators love unarmed peasants."

What happens when the line between victim and perpetrator blurs in the eyes of the law? When a homeowner confronts a crossbow-wielding intruder or store employees stop a car theft, should they face criminal charges or civil lawsuits for defending themselves and their property?Barrister Michael Mulligan unpacks the controversial legal landscape of self-defense in Canada, explaining how the 2012 amendments to the Criminal Code created a complex "reasonableness" requirement for those protecting themselves or others. This means that even when facing deadly threats in your own home, the law expects you to consider factors like the relative size, age, and gender of your attacker before responding. As Mulligan notes, "When you're fighting for your life or to save your children, you don't need to worry about weighing up how old this person is and what their gender is."The discussion extends beyond criminal liability to civil lawsuits, highlighting a case where a self-described "career criminal" is suing grocery store employees who prevented him from stealing a car, claiming they damaged his self-esteem. This mirrors Alberta's experience, where a rancher faced legal action from a thief after firing a warning shot. The provincial response—legislation preventing "criminal trespassers" from suing unless force was "grossly disproportionate"—offers a potential model for other provinces.The episode also examines a revealing case about Uber's wheelchair accessibility requirements in BC. Instead of mandating accessible vehicles, the government collects a 90-cent fee per non-accessible trip—money that disappears into general revenue while wheelchair users remain unable to use the service. When one wheelchair user won a $35,000 human rights award, the BC Supreme Court overturned it, revealing the tension between regulation and actual solutions.These cases raise fundamental questions about our legal priorities: Should we better protect those defending themselves and their property? And when regulations like Uber's accessibility fee don't solve the actual problem, what's their real purpose? Listen for an eye-opening look at where our laws might be failing those they're meant to protect.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

On the morning of October 12, 2013, 23-year-old Army veteran Christian Griggs went to his in-laws' property in Angier, North Carolina to pick up his young daughter, Jaden. At 10:54 a.m., he called his father Tony to say that his father-in-law, Reverend Pat Chisenhall, was yelling at him while his estranged wife Katie hid inside the house. Six minutes later, at 11:00 a.m., Tony arrived at the Chisenhall home to find his son lying face-down, bleeding and unresponsive. Pat had shot him six times with a .22 rifle. Once in the abdomen, once on the top of his left shoulder, and four times in the back. Christian was rushed to the hospital, where he was soon pronounced dead. As his family struggled to process the sudden loss, detectives began piecing together what had happened that fateful morning. What they uncovered were conflicting accounts, multiple 911 calls, and questions that would haunt the case for years to come.

01:00:51 – Trump's Drone Strike: Murder or Self-Defense?Trump orders a drone strike on a Venezuelan “drug boat,” killing 11. Critics across the legal spectrum say it violated U.S. and international law, crossing into assassination and setting a dangerous precedent. 01:05:49 – Culture of Hate & Political ViolenceDiscussion pivots to Charlie Kirk's assassination and America's growing culture of hate. The point is made that censorship, not speech, breeds hate—and hate ultimately leads to violence and murder. 01:13:48 – Venezuela, Oil & Trump's Strongman BoastingTrump brags about frightening fishermen after the drone strike. Commentators argue this is cover for a Venezuela oil grab, comparing Trump to past “strongmen” and condemning J.D. Vance for glorifying extrajudicial killings. 01:25:28 – China War ScenariosHeritage Foundation “war games” on Taiwan are dissected. The host warns that war with China could devastate America through asymmetric attacks—supply chain collapse, cyberattacks, even infrastructure sabotage. 01:33:31 – Corrupt Courts & Charlotte KillerRevelations that the magistrate who freed a repeat offender—who went on to murder a young woman—never passed the bar.

The hosts caution against clickbait “evidence,” stressing the fog of war makes conspiracies easy to spread. 01:55:55 – Distrust & Media ManipulationDiscussion closes with suspicion of both government and influencers like Alex Jones. The assassination narrative is portrayed as confused and potentially weaponized, feeding calls for tighter security and control. 02:01:04 – 9/11 Truth & Building 7Building 7's collapse is revisited, framed as controlled demolition. 9/11 is tied to the launch of endless wars and the surveillance state. 02:06:43 – Tucker Carlson & Movement Co-optionCarlson is blasted for once suppressing 9/11 discussion but now stepping in to lead the narrative, raising fears of establishment takeover of the truth movement. 02:16:12 – COVID Shots & Hidden Safety DataEvidence of scrubbed vaccine safety signals emerges, with thousands of adverse events concealed. The “Trump shot” is portrayed as a deliberate bioweapon program. 02:24:10 – Charlie Kirk Assassination TheoriesSpeculation swirls about Mossad, the Trump administration, and Ukraine's hit lists.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #237 Erica Chin WOMA's Amateurs & Experts Podcast   Heading into SHOT Show season last year, I got an email from someone I didn't know asking me to be on their show at SHOT. Of course, I'm going to say yes. The email was from Erica Chin. She's the co-host of the Women's Outdoor Media Association's podcast called Amateurs & Experts. The other host is Jess Andrich.They talk to people in the firearm and hunting, fishing, outdoor community. We recorded the show at the Otis Technology booth, where they host a number of podcasts, including the shows Matt Mallory and I did during SHOT 2025.    Since becoming friends with the ladies, we keep in touch. Erica said she was coming to NRA AM in Atlanta and I said we should film a show despite Jess not being there. She is a SHOT pro, but this was her first time at NRA AM. We actually started the day off by Erica calling me and going to an award ceremony, where Anne Mauro (RSWC #146) received an award for the NRA Women's Golden Bullseye Award for “Industry Woman of the Year.” Erica was also able to meet with her show's sponsors.    Growing up in a household run by her father who was a police officer, she was surrounded by firearms, hunting, and the shooting sports. Yet he didn't ask her to join him at the range. The first time she shot was in training to be a probation officer. The training started off with a week of shooting and handling. After the initial training, it went to quarterly range sessions with one magazine for them to shoot.    After being married, she found out her husband was into shooting and wanted to get back into it. This move slowly got her into shooting competitions, but mostly it was some social time for her, she wasn't concerned with her score. Her husband said she was more concerned with clothes and snacks at the range and suggested, maybe, she should practice as much as she's concerned about those items. Then he signed her up for 3-gun match at Babes With Bullets, which is hosted with Deb Ferns, (RSWC #204) and Kay and Jerry Miculek. Yeah, she went right to the top tier of competitive shooting!   The first 3-gun match set her on a new trajectory. She became a range safety officer just to be able to help at Babe With Bullets in the future. Being around Deb “sucks you in” and Erica went in with both feet. She took a trip from Utah to Montana and went off grid for a while. Eventually, she realized and remembered she has responsibilities at home with a family and she's been more selective of the events she goes to.    Erica shares some hunting stories and experiences she's had with BWB & WOMA. She's not afraid to get into the field dressing of the beasts she harvests.    With an interest in new things to explore, she and Jess have the gift of gab and were a natural to host the WOMA podcast. They're both fun, up for new adventures, and great with everyone. They've got great chemistry together. They settled with Amateurs & Experts for the name of the podcast because they talk with all kinds of experts in the outdoor community and want to reach the amateurs. Their second season of pod is dropping now, so find them on your favorite podcast outlets.    Besides being an RSO with BWB, and a probation officer, she's trained to drive Code 3, which means she can drive with lights and sirens. Being a person who enjoys expanding her horizon, she became a massage therapist so she could give massages at BWB. She's also taken classes for funeral science. There's a lot going on with her!   Favorite quotes: “Once you meet Deb Ferns, you drink the Kool-Aid.” “As a female it's tough to find places where we fit into hunting, where we fit into shooting sports, where we fit into fishing, and WOMA really encourages women to get out there.” “I went to school for funeral science.” “The last thing you can give someone is dignity in their death.”   WOMA https://www.thewoma.org/   WOMA Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheWOMA/   WOMA Instagram https://www.instagram.com/womensoutdoormediaassociation/   WOMA LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-woma/   WOMA X https://x.com/WOMA_the   Amateurs & Experts Podcast https://www.thewoma.org/podcast   Amateurs & Experts Podcast Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7yZEor7j1SFBuB9LhWWHVm   Babes With Bullets Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BabesWithBullets/   WOMA's She Never Quit Charity https://www.thewoma.org/snq 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.    Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/   US Law Shield Legal Defense for Self Defense.

Former foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami invested substantial time and effort into shaping a two-state solution during his political career – and ultimately came to the conclusion that it was not viable. On the Haaretz Podcast, Ben-Ami cast a critical eye on the current push by French President Emmanuel Macron and a long list of countries including the U.K., Australia and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. He sees the move more as "a sign of despair" over the leaders' powerlessness to end the Gaza war rather than "a practical solution" that lacks a roadmap for turning the concept into reality. Calling the two-state formula on the table "utterly irrelevant," Ben-Ami expressed "surprise that statesmen such as Macron and the others were pulling it out of the attic of lost causes." In his conversation with host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Ben-Ami spoke on the podcast of the deterioration of the Gaza conflict from a "legitimate war of self-defense" one of "merciless, cruel vengeance." He also explained why "total victory" over Hamas remains impossible. Whatever the outcome in Gaza, he noted, the war will be framed as a success and "will remain in the collective memory of the Palestinian nation that they forced Israel into a war that lasted more than two years, that Hamas pulled the two-state solution out of oblivion, emptied Israeli prisons of Palestinian prisoners, blocked the Israel-Saudi normalization and Israel's dream of regional peace."
