Should Democrats buy guns? Such was the topic of a recent New York Time OpEd piece. We will examine the premise, the assertions by the NYT “ethicist” and then Professor Paul will chime in.

What pieces, parts, and components should be assembled when building a varmint pistol? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Paul will discuss his experience eradicating prairie pests in Wyoming and consider what is practical and impractical.

Also, we have an SOTG Homeroom for you from SOTGU. This week, the Professor will consider what goes into improvement or the development of skill with a handgun. Do you want to shoot better or just buy cool stuff?

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.
