In today’s Training Segment, Rob discusses what he feels is a gun owner’s most important responsibility: Preventing unauthorized access to your firearm. Is that what you thought he was going to say? Then in the Politics & Gun Rights Segment, Rob discusses the upcoming election of officers at the annual NRA conference Memorial Day weekend.

Which individuals does Rob’s believe should be prevented from unauthorized access to your firearms? Listen for the complete details behind these considerations:  

1. Individuals who do not know how to safely operate a firearm
2. Individuals with malicious intent
3. Individuals without the mental capacity to understand the possible negative outcomes of firearms use
4. Individuals who are physically incapable of operating a firearm
5. Individuals with impaired judgement or perception. 

Memorial Day weekend, the NRA meets in Houston to elect a new board members and EVP. Wayne LaPierre has been driving the organization for years and now a serious contender for the position. Allen West announced he will run to replace LaPierre  in order to “restore the honor, integrity and character” of the NRA after years of abuse, embarrassment, financial struggles and suits. The failings and mismanagement of the NRA for personal gain by the LaPierre reign were detailed in the second season of the Gangster Capitalism podcast.

Rob talked with Allen West and discusses that conversation and what he feels about West’s run to replace LaPierre. In addition, Rob outlines the Second Amendment Organization’s Top Five Reform Goals to improve the National Rifle Association.

On April 26, the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) released new rules to remove and replace the regulatory definitions of ‘‘firearm frame or receiver’’ and ‘‘frame or receiver’’ because the current regulations fail to capture the full meaning of those terms. The ATF’s is also refining definitions of ‘‘firearm’’ and ‘‘gunsmith’’ to clarify the meaning of those terms, plus other terms in order to keep up with current advances in gun-making.

You can find the full text of the new ruling here: https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/rulemaking

In today's extended Politics Segment of episode, Rob provides his thoughts and insights after reviewing all 364 pages of the document. (Just a note... not ALL 364 pages are new rules.) Rob breaks down the rules, removing hype and sensationalism. Should you be concerned? 

In today's Education Segment, Rob talks about the realities of using a kit gun as your primary self defensive weapon. Is it a good idea? What should you be concerned about? Are there added liability concerns?

In this week's episode, Rob talks about Armed Home Defense in the Training Segment and Defending Property in the Politics Segment.

Armed Home Defense is build upon basic defensive skills with attention to specific actions focused on protecting your life and the lives of your loved one. Preparation includes knowing how to use your weapon in your home, where there are bedrooms, or even the living spaces where your loved ones may be located. In other words, know your home. How long are the hallways. Where is there cover and not just concealment? Where do you have defensive equipment stored? Where is a safe location to evade?

Next are the tactics for Armed Home Defense. How do these differ from those used on the street or other public locations? Rob reviews the five tactics of Evade, Barricade, Arm, Communicate and Respond. 

Knowing how to protect yourself and your loved ones in a known location (not always in your home) is an important skill with specialized tactics. You can learn more by reviewing the information at Personal Defense Network, including the DVD set, "Home Security and Defense".

You can learn more about the Three C's of Communication Rob refers to here: https://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/video/three-cs-coordinated-defense-013026/

The Politics Segment on Property Defense is closely aligned with defending your home, but they are not interchangeable terms nor do they have interchangeable meanings. Defending property (such as your house, car, truck or even laptop) is typically not something States see as warranting an armed response. Rob discusses the challenges and considerations  you must make when faced with this situation. It is most likely not what you think.
