Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are going deep on Stand Your Ground law — and we’re going to take a different angle than you usually hear. Most conversations about SYG are political: it’s either a heroic protection for law-abiding citizens, or a dangerous loophole. We’re not doing that.

What we’re doing today is the practical, legal deep dive that every carrier actually needs: what SYG actually does, what it doesn’t do, how the immunity process works, and what real-world cases — good and bad — teach us about when the law protects you and when it doesn’t. There are some cases in here that will surprise you. Tune in so you don’t miss!

In this episode, I discuss concealed carry positions with co-host Jacob Paulsen, revisiting this crucial topic after nearly a decade. We examine the popularity of appendix carry for its visibility and safety, while also exploring the strong side hip carry and its accessibility challenges.

We evaluate various positions like cross-draw, pocket carry, and ankle carry, weighing their pros and cons to guide listeners in finding what suits their needs. Off-body carry is included as well, prompting critical thought about safety. Our goal is to empower the concealed carry community to reflect on their practices and training for better safety outcomes.
