Podcasts about self defense

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux lays out the truth about Karmelo Anthony in this 10 June 2026 livestream, showing how the 17-year-old stabbed Austin Metcalf in the chest after repeated demands to leave the track tent and how the jury rejected self-defense to hand down 35 years.

Police in Des Moines, Iowa, chide the entire peaceable citizenry of their city after a concealed carrier lawfully defended himself against a mugger.

In August of 2013, Rebecca Rogers shot and killed her husband of 14 years, Jason, three times — twice in the back and once in the head — but don't worry, according to Rebecca, this was all somehow self-defense.  And apparently enough people bought that explanation, because between the public support and what feels like a pretty surface-level investigation, Rebecca eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served less than two years in prison.  Less than two years.  For shooting a man three times.  Incredible.At first glance, the case seems pretty open-and-shut…until you sit down and actually listen to her interrogation.  Because once I heard Rebecca tell her absolutely “harrowing” tale herself, I walked away thinking this woman didn't get away with manslaughter — she got away with murder.And weirdly, there's barely any information out there about this case.  It never got the full Dateline treatment, no dramatic 20/20 special, no ominous narrator standing in front of a cornfield talking about “small town secrets.”  Somehow this one just quietly drifted off into obscurity.We're also not going to be listening to the interrogation itself in these episodes.  But honestly, we don't even need to.  There is SO much to unpack in the things Rebecca says — the contradictions, the reactions, the storytelling choices, all of it — that, to me, point to this being way more than a simple manslaughter case.  The more she talks, the less believable it becomes.To me, this was murder.LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSOURCES:https://www.northescambia.com/2016/04/breaking-molino-mom-sentencedhttps://www.northescambia.com/2013/08/molino-woman-claims-self-defense-in-shooting-death-of-her-husbandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT3lKnc67X0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyXorcwEAxs&t=1142shttps://weartv.com/news/local/molino-woman-sentenced-for-killing-husband-during-domestic-disputSupport the show

In August 2016, 24-year-old Ashley Byers and 54-year-old Doug Benefield got married just 13 days after meeting. To a hopeless romantic, a whirlwind romance can seem like a dream. From a more practical standpoint, marrying someone you barely know can be perceived as impulsive and reckless. People close to the couple wondered - how well can you know someone in such a short span of time? In this case, it's not clear whether Doug and Ashley's rushed nuptials had anything to do with the relationship's tragic end. And to this day, there remains much debate over the reasons why one of them would end up dead.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

Mark Walters breaks down the massive federal and state lawsuits targeting Virginia's sweeping gun ban legislation, while top Second Amendment leaders and self-defense attorneys reveal what happens next.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #254 Alisha Curtin San Diego Concealed Carry & Gun Owners Radio   In 2022, I went to the San Diego County Gun Owners' Gun Prom with a friend. I got to meet lots of people at the event, many whom I've had on the show at some point. I'm sure I met Alisha Curtin then. She's been part of Gun Owners Radio for a few years now. I did a PitStop interview with her, which is already posted, and I got to film this interview where we get into things a little more with her. This was her first SHOT Show and she had a great time!    Alisha was raised in the San Diego area and met her husband in high school. At 17, she enlisted in the delayed entry program in the Army. The week before she was supposed to ship off for bootcamp, she re-evaluated the situation with her boyfriend and thought it was leading places just 4 months into dating. Just before SHOT Show, they celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary!   Her husband is in law enforcement and with a firearm in the home, he wanted her to be familiar with it. She really enjoyed it but, for him, shooting was just work. Eventually, she found that she was going to shoot and take training with her lady friends. Around 2012, she bought her own gun, a S&W .40 cal! Fortunately, it was a gun she rented, knew what she was getting into, and liked shooting.    During her pre-firearms career, Alisha was a high school teacher, covering biology, chemistry, forensic science, and criminal justice. The path to becoming an instructor was interesting. She was taking courses and another instructor took her in, said she would be good at this and mentored her. Then a range approached her and asked about having her teach courses at their facility. Instructing was a part time gig until the virus that shall not be named happened. The gun laws were changing and it seems like a good time to make a change.    As an instructor, she mostly works with women. Many times a woman takes a lesson and brings her husband's gun or buys a gun the store suggests she buys. But that often isn't a great choice for the ladies, something like a J frame snubby. The thought is if a woman isn't strong enough to rack a slide, then she's going to have issues shooting a revolver in double action.    Her business is called San Diego Concealed Carry. There are a couple of ranges where she teaches. In California to become a CCW instructor, there are three different paths one can take: the NRA path,  the BSIS (Bureau of Security Investigative Services) path, and the POST Police Officer Standard of Training). She's got all three of them. She also has all of the USCCA certifications, as well.    Certified with NRA, USCCA, and others, she offers several courses. Of course, there's CCW courses, the California DOJ initial course and renewal course, introduction to firearm courses, youth courses, self defense training, and the court mandidated courses, too. She keeps very busy and is very well versed in the Calif. gun laws and statues.    Besides everything else she does, Alisha was going to events hosted by San Diego County Gun Owners. I will say that having been to one of their events, they draw in huge numbers of attendees! In 2021, the capacity at Gun Prom was 999. If there were 1,000 people they would need "special requirements', if you remember. At one event, Michael Schwartz, head of SDCGO, and Alisha got to talking. He had some changes with Gun Owners Radio and asked her to be a co-host of the show. I've got to say, it's been a weekly listen for me for a number of years now, and I highly recommend it to everyone. She has her own segment called Curtin Call, where she talks about training.    Females are the largest growing demographic of firearm owners. It's fantastic that the ladies can take courses with someone like Alisha. It's also good that she can more than hold her own with the fellas, too. I'm sure she even shows a few of them up!   Favorite quotes: "I had a good time. I liked it, I enjoyed it. But for him it was work." "It's a big investment. You want to make sure it's the right gun for you." "Men, in general, do not  understand the things a woman needs in a firearm."

Host Pete Deeley welcomes instructor Vini Fonseca to The Jiu Jitsu Mindset to discuss how Gracie Jiu-Jitsu shaped Vini's confidence, boundaries, and identity through a gentle, game-based childhood introduction around the Gracie family, including Rickson, Royler, and Helio. Vini explains he began teaching about 10 years ago after studying engineering and running a surf business, then committed fully to preserving Rickson's interpretation of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu—fundamentals, "invisible" aspects, and life transformation. They explore teaching as deep personal attention and scanning students' needs, using self-defense to build humility, compassion, and confidence for kids, neurodivergent students, seniors, and even fighters. Vini shares a story of helping an autistic student change socially, reflects on competition as optional, and recounts memorable rolls with Chris Burns, Scott Burr, and Michael Casey.   00:00 Welcome and Sponsor Plug 00:57 Meet Vini Fonseca 01:55 How Jiu Jitsu Shaped Me 05:57 From Engineer to Instructor 07:22 A Gentle Introduction 10:44 Learning Through Observation 16:15 Teaching as Life Mission 19:31 Self Defense for Everyone 22:06 Connection and Care 25:08 Preserving True Jiu Jitsu 26:52 Serving Students With Care 27:42 Self Defense For Seniors 28:20 Roleplay Boundaries Training 29:53 Complete Academy Mission 31:48 Competition For Learners 33:21 Why He Doesn't Compete 36:12 Rolling Stories And Lessons 40:25 First Student Transformation 43:52 Maturity And Teaching Wisdom 47:16 Closing And Future Plans

How should Christians read Revelation without falling into fear, speculation, or confusion? In this episode, Rowan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson explore a careful approach to Revelation, arguing that the book is meant to comfort believers rather than function as a detailed prediction chart. They discuss prophetic imagery, the structure of Revelation, persecution, and why many modern interpretations miss the original context. The conversation also tackles difficult ethical questions: Is self-defense compatible with Christianity? How should Christians think about violence and conscience? What does Sabbath obedience look like under the New Covenant? Why do some biblical commands feel difficult or uncomfortable today? This episode blends biblical interpretation, pastoral wisdom, theology, apologetics, and real-world application in an honest conversation about difficult Scripture. 00:00:05 — Why Christians Read the Bible Differently Over Time 00:01:38 — From Sunday School Stories to Serious Bible Study 00:04:24 — Why Revelation Is So Often Misunderstood 00:06:31 — Seven Visions or One Event?

In August of 2013, Rebecca Rogers shot and killed her husband of 14 years, Jason, three times — twice in the back and once in the head — but don't worry, according to Rebecca, this was all somehow self-defense.  And apparently enough people bought that explanation, because between the public support and what feels like a pretty surface-level investigation, Rebecca eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served less than two years in prison.  Less than two years.  For shooting a man three times.  Incredible.At first glance, the case seems pretty open-and-shut…until you sit down and actually listen to her interrogation.  Because once I heard Rebecca tell her absolutely “harrowing” tale herself, I walked away thinking this woman didn't get away with manslaughter — she got away with murder.And weirdly, there's barely any information out there about this case.  It never got the full Dateline treatment, no dramatic 20/20 special, no ominous narrator standing in front of a cornfield talking about “small town secrets.”  Somehow this one just quietly drifted off into obscurity.We're also not going to be listening to the interrogation itself in these episodes.  But honestly, we don't even need to.  There is SO much to unpack in the things Rebecca says — the contradictions, the reactions, the storytelling choices, all of it — that, to me, point to this being way more than a simple manslaughter case.  The more she talks, the less believable it becomes.To me, this was murder.LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSOURCES:https://www.northescambia.com/2016/04/breaking-molino-mom-sentencedhttps://www.northescambia.com/2013/08/molino-woman-claims-self-defense-in-shooting-death-of-her-husbandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT3lKnc67X0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyXorcwEAxs&t=1142shttps://weartv.com/news/local/molino-woman-sentenced-for-killing-husband-during-domestic-disputSupport the show

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #253 Lizzie Jackovich Firearm Owners Against Crime   Nearly everywhere I've gone for the last several years, I try to film an episode with someone. I've been going to the Great American Outdoor Show which is held in Harrisburg, PA, in the dead of winter and presented by NRA. Lizzie and I met at a Waffle House with some friends and did the show on the way to the GAOS. Yes, I'm surprised there was a WaHo close enough for breakfast. It was about 7 degrees outside when we met. And it was very windy!   Lizzie is a volunteer with Firearm Owners Against Crime (FOAC). FOAC is led by Jim Stoker (RSWC #187) and Klint Macro (RSWC #069 & #201). They're fighting all the time, like everyone else, with the anti-gun politicians. Lizzie is in it to make things better for her children and to make sure they don't lose the Right to Keep & Bear under her watch. They've got two groups, the ILLEA, Institute for Legal, Legislation, and Educational Action  and their Political Action Committee. The "crime" part of FOAC isn't "regular" crime; it's the crime of the politicians they're fighting.    For those who may be interested, the Pennsylvania carry permit is pretty easy to get. You need to fill out an application and give them a $20 bill. I went to central PA a few years ago to the Tommy Gun Warehouse and I drove a bit further to get my PA permit while I waited. It took an hour.    Lizzie has a history of gun owners and shooters in her family. Her grandfather was a chief of police. Her dad became a police officer, too, but he had several careers. As a young man, her dad was a Marine sniper and very much into shooting and fishing. As a young girl, Lizzie was into archery, joined the boys teams, and embarrassed them.    When she was older, she had some things happen in her life. When the police were called, they would often tell her "you're safe now" or "it's over, you're ok". But she didn't feel that way. That made her decision. She knew about firearms, but not enough to know what she was doing. She knew to keep her finger off and in a safe direction. Her first shots were with a Desert Eagle and that was a turn off, but then she went to a .22 and things were better. Finally, she settled on a 9mm.    Once she was comfortable shooting, she started thinking about carrying and that was something new to learn. She took some courses with Klint, started to draw from the holster and progressed through the program.  With her new skill and interest, she wasn't sure about instructing, but she was taking friends and family to the range. But she knew she needed something so she became an RSO through the USCCA. In the future, there could be some instructing for her. She could be a great advocate for female shooters. The hunger for learning and passing on is something Lizzie would enjoy.    We talk about some current events (from January 2026). It was hard to explain to folks that carrying two spare magazines isn't excessive or out of the norm for some folks. I have come around to believe that you need at least one spare mag for malfunctions.    With the FOAC events, Lizzie started running the gun bash. It's an event that raffles and auctions off firearms. It's a day to spend with others who are like minded and enjoy the shooting sports. They've also got the famous Wall of Guns! They hold these twice a year and it's all up to her!   There's lots of amazing volunteers working with groups all around the country. Lizzie was giving up a lot of time, in the cold weather, to spend at the Great American Outdoor Show. She was there all weekend. And I'm sure she'll be back next year and the year after that.    Favorite quotes: "Act like your rights depend on it…because they do." "That's the whole point; get unafraid. When you stay comfortable, you don't grow." "It gives me so much purpose. I can't think of a better organization to be giving my time and energy to."

In August of 2013, Rebecca Rogers shot and killed her husband, Jason, of 14 years 3 times - twice in the back, once in the head.  She claimed she acted in self-defense.  Amid strong public support and lack of a deep dive investigation, Rebecca eventually would plead guilty to manslaughter and serve less than 2 years in prison.  The case was pretty open and shut...unless you watch her interrogation.  After I listened to her recount her "harrowing" tale, I came away believing this lady got away with murder.  There isn't very much in the way of information about this case...it wasn't even really dramatic enough to find its way onto an episode of Dateline or 20/20.  And we are not going to be listening to the interrogation in any of these episodes.  But there is so much to talk about when it comes to what Rebecca said that strongly points to this having been way more than a manslaughter case...to me, this was murder.  LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSOURCES:https://www.northescambia.com/2016/04/breaking-molino-mom-sentencedhttps://www.northescambia.com/2013/08/molino-woman-claims-self-defense-in-shooting-death-of-her-husbandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT3lKnc67X0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyXorcwEAxs&t=1142shttps://weartv.com/news/local/molino-woman-sentenced-for-killing-husband-during-domestic-disputSupport the show
