Dear Shooter

The NRA annual meetings got a little spicy as the members spoke out! This week Jason Wilson speaks out a little about what the Board of Directors is working out as well as the new transparency website for the members. Tune in for a few things we got to see at the show!

Today we explore the age-old question: is that bunker a - safe haven or tomb? From bunkers to safe rooms to compounds, we discuss today's issues and things to be aware of.

Scary Word of the Day: Tariffs! Check out this week’s episode where we unravel how those pesky tariffs might just turn your ammo stash into collector’s items. Plus, Congress is asking the real questions—do IRS agents really need firearms, or are they just prepping for a wild tax season showdown?

This week we jump into the legendary "shot heard 'round the world" – that awkward moment when the colonies decided they were totally done with England's nonsense. We're connecting the dots between powdered wigs and present-day pandemonium, because apparently, humans just love making the same mistakes on repeat.

This week we tackle the internet's favorite punching bag - the Sig P320. Is it really trying to spontaneously high-five the ground, or are we dealing with a classic case of "operator error"?

Spring is here! Sort of. Today we chat about getting to the range, dressing for all seasons and the beginning of spring time fun. Wipe down those cobwebs and lets play outside!

This week we chat with Clayton Schlosser from Pivotal Defense, who's about to drop some truth bombs about why medical training isn't important... until suddenly it's the ONLY thing that matters! You know, like how you don't need a fire extinguisher until your toast becomes a torch, or how band-aids aren't essential until you try to catch a falling knife (pro tip: don't).

Today we talk about the world of gun myths that just won't die, from "magic" suppressors that ruin your edge, to the bizarre belief that your magazine springs are doing CrossFit while you sleep.

Ever wondered why your cat has a personal vendetta against gravity and why they always target your most precious possessions? Plus, we're taking a satirical look at the latest SCOTUS drama. It's like that nightmare where you walk into your final exam wearing pajamas, except it's happening on an international stage!

What happens when a federal agency goes poof into thin air? We're tackling the hypothetical disappearance of the ATF and the hilarious real estate dilemma it would create. Should we turn it into a massive paintball arena? A craft brewery? The possibilities are endless! Then, buckle up for our Ukraine update segment where we break down the latest developments in the ongoing conflict. Plus, we can't...

This week we discuss the implications of Kash Patel being named Acting Director of the BATFE. The absolute craziness going on in Colorado, and a Chicago 911 operator advises that people arm themselves.

This week we take on a one paragraph Fudd Facebook post. Your read that right. We had enough Fuddness to unpack to last an entire drive to work! Oh Fudd, will you ever learn??

Today we debunk the myths of "safe distance" (spoiler alert: it's not what action movies taught you) and tackle the infamous tactical reload - because nothing says "operator" quite like dropping a half-full mag while trying to look cool.

This week, we're diving into the NRA's Board elections (out with the old, in with the new), while Brandy unearths some firearms that'll make you say "Wait... that's a REAL gun?" Plus, we're getting whisper-quiet as we explore how suppressors went from James Bond territory to your neighbor Bob's weekend range toy.

We braved the crowds, dodged the tactical bros, and survived on convention center coffee to bring you the scoop on what's new in the world of pew-pew. Turns out, "new" might be a generous term this year.

Oh man....the changes to concealed carry training in Colorado. How many states will follow that leader? I suppose you could always open carry. YUCK! I guess if all else fails - conceal that Mt. Dew!

Ten De Aragua is being evicted! That's right, Aurora is closing down their apartments. And we have a nice ride to get them back to Venezuela!

After surviving the terrible twos (or getting there, anyway), we're back with more caffeine in our system than ever before! Join us as we navigate through adult life with the grace of a penguin on roller skates.

It's the last show of the year, and we are discussing the holidays, a few mishaps and what is coming in 2025. Even the Dear Shooter mascot chimes in. We touch on the Madison School shooting and analyze the initial issues with the .224 Valkyrie. Most of all we wish you, our listeners, a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

We've got Jayden Haslin in the studio, ready to break down why some old-timers are treating the range like their personal country club. You know the type – they've got more opinions than rounds in their ammo can and think the only way to learn is how they did it back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed here are our own and may not represent those of t...

We've all heard the tropes, racking a shotgun will scare away any intruder, oh and that light / laser on your firearm, that will give you away. How about I called the police, so I'll be ok till they get here. Some really bad advice and fuddisms just refuse to die. So we explore some of the common tales we've all heard. Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed here are our own and may not...

We're about to get down and dirty with the nitty-gritty of range safety. And trust me, this isn't your typical "point the pointy end that way" conversation. We're talking about all those things that make you go "Hmm" at the range - like why that one guy's brass keeps hitting you in the face, or why the Range Safety Officer looks like he's having seven simultaneous heart attacks. Disclaimer: The st...

We're jumping into the ring for another round of "My Caliber Can Beat Up Your Caliber!" Because apparently, we haven't beaten that dead horse enough. Speaking of horses, Hornady just dropped what they're calling a "new caliber" - and folks, it's about as new as my grandfather's war stories. But hold onto your holsters, because we've got some spicy news from the Lone Star State! Texas is making wav...

So, raise your hand if you're sitting there staring at your mountain of ramen noodles and wondering if you'll ever make it through all those cases of energy bars before they expire. Don't worry, you're not alone! Maybe it's time to take a class, or enter a competition? You've got the stuff, now it's time to have some fun.

First the famous Peanut – not your average bushy-tailed tree dweller – who's been making waves in ways only a squirrel could. Then we'll crack open the latest novel that's got everyone talking... and by novel, I mean the War and Peace-sized legal paperwork now shipping with every Glock. Seriously, you'll need a forklift to carry this thing out of the store. And because we love living dangerously,...
