Student of the Gun Radio

There is a difference between "getting ready" and "being ready." Today Paul and Louis will consider the valuable lessons learned from the Nairobi terror attack and the new book "One Man In" by Christian Craighead. How can we apply the fundamental four to our lives? For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider some news in the rifle optics world. After our previous conversation regarding a "Close Quarter Battle" sight / reticle, a brand new optic has been made available with a Donut Only option. Could that be the wave of the future? Iron Sharpens Iron, just and one man sharpens another man. How can we as students and disciples of the way help and encourage others? Are there tips or tricks or is it just a hit and miss affair? Paul and Louis consider how we can encourage our fellow man not to be a victim and to get on the path to agency and self-reliance.
