An After-Action report from the beautiful city of Vernal, UT, fake Rapid Tourniquets, and Jarrad is gonna be at AMM-CON! All that and more during this week's episode. TOPICS COVERED THIS EPISODE Huge thanks to our Partners: EOTech | Spike's Tactical [0:07:30] Beyond the Boo Boo Class After-Action [0:31:00] Jarrad speaking at AMM-CON bearingarms.com [0:34:43] EOTech Talk - EOTechInc.com TOPIC: Gun Locks and Gun Boxes: Good, Bad, Neutral? www.shootingnewsweekly.com [0:49:19] Warrior of the Week - James Yeager's “Virtues of a Warrior” TOPIC: Yuval Levin - Why Institutions Matter Episode Summary Enhancing Bleeding Control Training Professor Paul Markel shared a personal story about conducting a Beyond the Boo Boo course (BB101) class in Vernal, Utah. He discussed how Americans often avoid trauma training until an emergency occurs, noting that corporate first aid training is typically limited to CPR and basic life support due to insurance discounts. The class highlighted the importance of proper bleeding control techniques, contrasting with common first aid knowledge that focuses on CPR, which is ineffective for severe bleeding situations. Counterfeit Tourniquet Awareness Discussion The group discussed counterfeit rapid tourniquets, identifying them by their flimsy metal parts, lack of authenticity markings, and poor quality compared to genuine products. They advised against purchasing tourniquets from suspiciously low-cost sources and recommended buying from authorized retailers like ShopSOTG.com.  Self-Defense and Cultural Institutions The meeting discussed a defensive gun use case in Texas where a homeowner used his firearm to deter an intruder with a machete, highlighting the importance of gun ownership for self-defense. The group also touched on recidivism rates and the manipulation of crime statistics in Washington, D.C. Finally, they introduced the "Warrior of the Week" segment, featuring a speech by Yuval Levin on the importance of institutions in addressing cultural conflicts. Rebuilding Trust in Institutions The meeting focused on a speech by Yuval Levin at BYU, discussing the decline in trust towards institutions in American society. Levin argued that institutions are failing to form trustworthy individuals, instead becoming platforms for performative behavior. He emphasized the need for a mindset change, where individuals take their institutional roles seriously and ask, "Given my role here, how should I behave?" Levin concluded that healing society's divisions requires small, constructive steps towards rebuilding trust in institutions.

Ruger American Ranch Rifle Review The professor discussed his experience with the Ruger American Ranch rifle, highlighting its features such as flat dark earth stock, matte black barrel, detachable magazines, and picatinny rail. He reviewed the rifle's performance using a Voodoo X-ray scope, noting its effectiveness in shooting desert varmints in Wyoming. The professor also mentioned that the rifle uses standard AR-15 magazines, which he considers ideal for a bolt-action rifle. Jarrad confirmed he had shot the rifle and remembered Jason using it in a precision rifle class. The discussion concluded with an update on the availability of the "Virtues of a Warrior" posters, which are now available for purchase on the shop SOTG website. Gun Ownership and Media Perspectives Jarrad shared a video about the importance of institutions by Yuval Levin, which Professor agreed to include in next week's bonus segment under leadership or as a "Warrior of the Week" segment. They discussed upcoming events at Student of the Gun University, including classes in Kentucky, Texas, and Nevada. Professor played a segment from John Stossel's show highlighting how Hollywood often portrays armed civilians negatively, while real-life examples show that guns can effectively stop crimes. They praised John Stossel for his shift from liberal views to presenting more balanced perspectives on gun ownership. Voodoo X-Ray Marketing Discussion The meeting involved a discussion about various topics, including the publication of an article on the Voodoo X-ray, interactions with Jim Shepherd regarding the "chicken wire," and the marketing of products featuring the Voodoo X-ray. Jarrad and Professor discussed the differences between quiet and silence, and the challenges of producing juice with a high waste rate. They also talked about the sale of a scarce pre-World War II Belgian Browning and the regulations around selling Nazi memorabilia online.

So listen up, hippie. Wanna hear the Full Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program! Gas Mask Filters and Shelf Life Jarrad and Professor discussed technical issues with microphones and audio setup, then explored gas mask filters and their shelf lives. They clarified that different filters have varying shelf lives, with some lasting up to 20 years in storage, and explained how gamma radiation dissipates over time due to sunlight and natural processes. They agreed to open future shows with questions to encourage audience participation. Radio Show: Wrestling and Planets The meeting began with a brief delay as Jarrad dealt with technical issues. They discussed wrestling events, including Brock Lesnar's return and the handling of past controversies. The group then prepared to record the radio show, addressing listener questions and discussing the definition of planets, including the historical classification of Pluto. They also touched on the International Astronomical Union's updated criteria for what constitutes a planet. Gas Mask Filters and Historical Verification The hosts discussed gas mask filters, addressing a listener's question about their shelf life. They explained that filter longevity depends on the type and manufacturer, and recommended checking with the manufacturer for specific recommendations. The conversation then shifted to historical perspectives on weapons of mass destruction and the challenges of verifying historical information in the modern age, with Jarrad noting that while people have more access to information now, determining its accuracy remains difficult. Firearms Industry Technology Trends The meeting focused on a tech talk segment discussing recent developments in the firearms industry. The Professor highlighted Eotech's acquisition of VK Systems, which provides technology for situational awareness and team tactics. They also discussed the term "uncommanded discharge" and its relation to the Sig P320, noting its recent coinage due to the gun's unique firing mechanism. Professor further explored the shift in the firearms market, particularly CZ's promotion of a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) pistol, the CZ Shadow 2, as an everyday carry option, which represents a departure from the prevailing trend of striker-fired polymer guns. This move by CZ suggests a potential shift in consumer preferences and industry direction. John Benner: Warrior of the Week The meeting focused on honoring John Benner, the founder of Tactical Defense Institute, as the Warrior of the Week. Paul Markel shared personal anecdotes about Benner's contributions to law enforcement training and his invention of the K-Bar TDI law enforcement knife. The discussion highlighted Benner's emphasis on practical training and the importance of providing trainers for law enforcement equipment. Jarrad and Paul also promoted SOTG University's home study courses and residency programs, emphasizing the availability of training resources for students. Self-Defense in Firebomb Attacks The professor and Jared discussed a recent incident where a Virginia city councilman was allegedly set on fire by a man who threw gasoline on him. They debated whether the councilman could have defended himself with a gun if he had been carrying one, and discussed the increasing number of firebomb attacks in recent months. The professor suggested that carrying guns could be a deterrent against such attacks, and mentioned a video by John Stossel that supports their perspective. Gun Ownership and Media Portrayal The discussion focused on the debate around gun ownership and the media's portrayal of firearms. Professor and Jarrad discussed how Hollywood often depicts armed citizens negatively, contrasting with real-life examples of defensive gun use. They also analyzed a situation where California Governor Gavin Newsom was unable to accept a gifted handgun due to his state's strict gun laws, highlighting the complexity and potential absurdity of such regulations. The conversation concluded with criticism of Newsom's hypocrisy and the need for leaders to practice what they preach. BPC-157: Fitness Supplement Insights The discussion focused on BPC-157, a peptide supplement that has gained popularity in the fitness community. Professor shared his personal experience with the supplement, which was recommended to him by Dr. Dan for muscle recovery. He noted that while it was initially difficult to find, it is now available on GNC's website under different names. The conversation also touched on the growing interest in peptides, citing recent mentions by Joe Rogan and Kevin James. Professor emphasized the importance of listening to experienced individuals in the fitness and health field, and encouraged listeners to check out a recent episode featuring Matt Reynolds and to read Nicholas Orr's book. Sig P320 Safety Concerns The discussion focused on safety concerns with the Sig P320 pistol, particularly regarding incidents where the gun has discharged while in holsters. The professors discussed how Sig Sauer released a formal statement addressing various incidents, but the statement did not satisfy their concerns about the gun's safety. As a result, they decided to ban the P320 from their training classes until Sig Sauer provides clearer guidance about what "ready to use" means in their owner's manual. Super Dave's Chili Legacy The professor shared a humorous story about Dave Harrington, known as "Super Dave," who was a military contractor and roommate. The professor revealed that Dave's favorite chili recipe was created by him in 2007, and Dave would eat all the solid ingredients, leaving only chili soup behind. Despite being angry at the time, the professor later included a note in a cookbook suggesting to double the recipe if Super Dave was coming over, as he would stand in his underwear next to the crock pot to refill his bowl. The professor concluded by remembering Dave, who passed away last Friday, and noted that he would have advised to "relax your brain" in response to any questions.

An Israeli soldier is lucky to be alive after the attack. Also, for our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc., Professor Paul has another hunting rifle to consider.

Is that a good plan? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will discuss the recent field outing with his custom built AR pistol. What game did he take and how did the equipment perform under realistic circumstances?  Remember when Comrade Barry gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash? We do. What do you suppose they spent that money on? Israel is pounding Iran's nuclear weapon program. The question we would ask is why have we let the problem of Iran funding terrorism and trying to build a nuclear bomb fester for 40 years?  TOPICS COVERED THIS EPISODE Huge thanks to our Partners: EOTech | Spike's Tactical Virtues of a Warrior Poster! - ShopSOTG.com [0:04:27] EOTech Talk - EOTechInc.com TOPIC: VUDU 3-9 Super Short in the field [0:32:16] SOTG Homeroom - SOTG University TOPIC: You shouldn't be the only “Armed Person” [0:59:03] Peace is achieved through absolute victory, not a treaty.

After completing basic and initial employment training Scott had the desire to post to a unit that supports special forces and with hard work he was posted to 126 Signals Squadron which supports the at the time 4RAR soon to be renamed 2nd Commando Regiment Australian Special Forces on the East coast of Australia.Scott deployed on two SOTG rotations supporting 2CDO on operations in Afghanistan in Romeo Platoon Bravo Company and with November Platoon Alpha Company. During his deployments Scott encountered multiple life changing scenarios including calling in a medevac for KIA Brett Till, WIA Damien Thomlinson and the when Scott Smith was killed by an IED.In recent years November platoon was falsely portrayed and defamed in the media more specifically by the ABC network portraying that the platoon was involved in war crimes also most recently altering gun shots of a clip with Heston Russell and Scott the soldier that fired his weapon in a helo during a 2CDO task. The ABC lost the defamation case against the platoon commander Heston Russell and the ABC denied actions of editing audio and suggested it was an editing error.  www.3zeroscoffee.com.auInstargram @3zeroscoffee Discount Code 3ZLimits Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=enHost - Matty Morris www.instagram.com/matty.m.morrisSponsorsGatorz Australia - www.gatorzaustralia.com15% Discount Code - ZERO15(former/current military & first responders 20% discount to order please email orders@gatorzaustralia.com.auGetSome Jocko Fuel - www.getsome.com.au10 % Discount Code - ZEROLIMITS

For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc this week we have a question. What is an FRT? After a years-long criminal campaign to target an American gun company, the Federal government has ceased their unlawful persecution of Rare Breed Triggers and been forced to admit what we have known all along, FRTs are NOT machineguns. Also, are Americans preparing for the worst? Fox News recently did a news piece where they traveled to Gunsite Academy in Arizona to find out why people are taking training. What the hell is an “ungun”? During our SOTG Homeroom, we will consider the plethora of “less-than-lethal” devices that are shaped like guns but are not actually guns. Are they a good solution?

What's up with the 10mm Auto cartridge? Professor Paul will discuss the history of the 10mm Auto in the United States, where it was and where it is today. How can you choose the right ammunition for the job? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider building the “perfect” prairie dog rifle. From what kind of distances can we really expect to shoot? What optic combination would seem to be the perfect “Goldilock” solution? Also, for our SOTG Homeroom this week from SOTGU, we consider the new book from Nicholas Orr, A Pipe Hitter's Guide to Strength & Wellness.  You are the Operating System for whichever gun you choose.

In this episode of SOTG, we sit down with incoming Freshman QB Jack Moran to talk about starting his career with Jax State, give our thoughts on the Red vs White Spring Game and what stood out the most to us, give some more updates on the transfer portal shuffle, and much more on the State of the Gamecocks!!!

Today we have none other than John Willis from Original SOE Gear as your guest. Never a person to hold back, John will talk about preparation, resilience, business, rabbit poop, chickens and more. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will discuss zeroing red dots and magnified optics as well as answering one of your questions on air. And, we solve the mystery of the missing battery. For our SOTG Homeroom this week we have a New York Times article to consider. The Times has discovered that some “Professional Citizens” are training with guns, radios, and night vision. We are not sure how they feel about that.

Paul and Jarrad are back from their extended training trip to Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee. During that time they had the opportunity to conduct some low light / night shooting. What was unique and what lessons were learned. We dive in during the Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. During our SOTG Homeroom, we had a sad story to report. Nonetheless, the lesson is an important one. You don't get to decide when you are going to have the worst day of your life, someone else will decide that. All you can do is be prepared to deal with it. Finally, Professor Paul wrote an article for Shooting News Weekly regarding the question; What's it going to take to get people to take traumatic medical training? We don't have all the answers but we do have some.

No intellectually honest person can argue that we have allowed the United States of America to be put into a terrible, dangerous position. Hard times are coming. The question we address is what can each person do about that? We will talk about controlling those things that we can control. Knowing and understanding the Deadly Force Checklist could be the difference between victory and disaster if you are ever put into a position where you are required to use a firearm to defend your life. We examine the Case of the Tacqaria Robbery in Texas. The United States of America is a joke to the invaders who are infesting our nation. Witness the recent incident in New York City where 5 illegal invaders attacked two police officers. The criminals were released without bail and then they laughed and flipped off the news cameras.

During our TechTalk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will address the use of a .22 rimfire cartridge as a primary self-defense tool. Is the .22LR the “best choice” for women or older Americans? Additionally, SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com, we will discuss in detail the 4 Rules + 1 safety briefing. How could this save your life or that of another person? Paul Glasco is on the show with us to talk about his new book “How To Make A Monster: A Sensible Look At Rampage Killers”. In this discussion, Mr. Glaso explains factors that tie all of the recent rampage killers together. What facts has the mainstream media deliberately overlooked or flat out lied about?

In this episode of SOTG, we talk a little Jax State basketball and their recent success, give our thoughts on the start of spring practice and what we want to see the most at the J-Day game, address the Troy game returning, and much more on the State of the Gamecocks!!!

Training ammo, particularly 9x19mm, is back and it is available and affordable. During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU, Professor Paul will discuss the ammo situation in the United States and address the lies people tell themselves. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will take a close look at the new VUDU 3-9x32 “Super Short” riflescope. What is this all about? Might it be a tool that could enhance your shooting experience? “All hat and no cattle” is a phrase bandied about in the west. Does that phrase apply to some members of the gun community?

Everyone has Red Dot Fever now. Are optics on handguns the end all be all? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider the ins and outs of modern optics on handguns. Recently, Shooting New Weekly published an excerpt from an article written by Professor Paul regarding shooting games and whether or not playing games prepares us for the realities of life and death encounters. Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from Student of the Gun University, Paul will discuss the ongoing discussion about “point shooting” versus “aimed fire”. Can you teach yourself to point shoot? Sure. Does that apply to 95 percent of the deadly force scenarios you may encounter?

During our SOTG Homeroom we have a positive story. Rather than become yet another in the ranks of long forgotten victims of crime, a 14-year-old Kentucky Teen defended his family's home when two armed home invaders broke in. Also, for our Tech Talk this week from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will discuss a fast way to get on paper when you need to zero a 1:1 optic such as the XPS sight. What exactly is a “fantasy gunfight” and is that a positive thing or a negative? We will consider training, specifically scenario-based training and how that benefits those who carry a firearm for self-defense.

We have Jay from Franklin Armory and Travis from FRAC as our special guests to discuss that decision and much more. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul will consider the importance of tactics versus marksmanship. When it comes to fighting for your life, which is more important?

Student of the Gun University has a Beyond the Boo Boo Traumatic Medicine and Team Tactic class coming up in east Texas. During our SOTG Homeroom, we will once more address the importance of being properly trained to save a life. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will examine something a bit different. Today we consider the “sharp” part of the Fundamental Four. Oh, Canada! We have two different stories from the Great White North. We have life imitating art and then a socialist politician trying to threaten President Trump. Professor Paul has a message for our friends up north.

Inspired by the Kris Paronto interview with Shawn Ryan, Professor Paul read the book “13 Hours” by Michael Zuckoff. As usual, Paul read the book with a pen and highlighters close at hand. We began the discussion on Wednesday's public hour and now we will continue addressing this topic in depth. Paul took four pages of notes regarding lessons that can be learned from the attacks on 9/11/12. What is the job of a bodyguard? What did General Patton say about a “good plan”? Why do sheep fear the sheepdog more so than the wolf? We will answer all these questions and more. Don't miss this episode.

For our weekly SOTG Homeroom, we will consider two separate situations where being dangerous on demand was critically important and saved the lives of two citizens; one in Chicago and one in Buenos Aires, Argentina. During our Tech Talk segment from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul and Zach will discuss and consider the best options for mounting a mini red dot, such as the EFLX, to a handgun.

Following the orders of his masters, Joe Biden has continued on his path to do everything he can to damage the United States before he is ejected from the people's house on January 20th. Rather than put terrorists in custody on trial, they are instead releasing them into the wild with a promise to behave. During our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com, we relate another wild animal encounter. This time it was a coyote in a supermarket. What advice did the Bambi Police have for us after this encounter? Also, for our weekly Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul will consider a question. Do the optic or scope make the gun more accurate?

Pablo Jose Fernandez Gil, 34; Raquel Yudith Fagundez Pitire, 36, of West Valley City; and Kender Alberto Brieo Quijada, 18, were each charged Friday in 3rd District Court with aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony; and five counts of aggravated assault, a third-degree felony. Each charge is subject to gang-enhancement penalties at sentencing if convicted, according to court records. While responding to a report of a burglary on Nov. 1, Unified police officers reported spotting the vehicle of the intruders near 3900 South and 700 West and pulled it over. Gil, Quijada and Pitire were all taken into custody. "Investigators confirmed that Pitire, Gil and Quijada are part of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization," according to charging documents. As detectives sorted through what had happened, they said they learned that the trio had barged into a residence and pointed guns at the four people inside. "Gil told everyone he was going to kill them if they did not leave their girls alone," one witness told police, according to the charges. (Click Here for Full Article)
