Bullet Talk

I want to know what happens if I do

OpeningIn this weeks episode, we talk about Columbine shooting survivor Representative Patrick Neville (Colorado) and his wish to allow teachers the ability to concealed carry on school campus, then we jump over to West Virginia to talk about their Constitutional carry legislation headed over to the Governor’s desk. Krystal also has the opportunity to respond to a listener’s direct question about legislation in Pennsylvania, we chat a bit about Apple and the FBI, and Krystal defines what a gunsplainer is.NewsColumbine Survivor Turned Lawmaker Wants Guns in SchoolsSource Link:USA TodayConstitutional Carry Law Headed to Governor in West VirginiaSource Link:AmmolandSource Link:West Virginia LegisApple and the FBI Go Head to HeadSource Link:Krystal O’ConnorListener QuestionsPennsylvania SB416Source Link:Pennsylvania LegisExploreAre You a Gunsplainer?SingledOut.orgPlugsListening via iTunes or Stitcher?

While at the Great American Outdoor Show, I sat down with Steve and Kevin from the United States Concealed Carry Association. We certainly had plenty to talk about!Training OpportunitiesThe USCCA has quite the program available for firearms instructors to walk through to certify them to teach the USCCA curriculum. The program really focuses on the use of a firearm for self protection, as well as those things a person needs to consider with regards to what would happen before an unfortunate event, as well as after. This includes everything from what happens to the mind when you are in the middle of an event to placing that 911 call (and what to say, or not say for that matter), and more. Of course, they also teach the fundamentals of shooting and carry.  The Concealed Carry ExpoThe USCCA is planning a Concealed Carry Expo occurring in Atlanta, Georgia from April 29th through May 1st. We spend some time talking about what to expect at the expo, but if you can get down there I recommend doing so. They will have training, life fire ranges, and seminars from experts that will help you take your knowledge to the next level. There will be a Concealed Carry Fashion Show at the expo as well, showing off the latest in concealed carry gear.

Krystal has the honor of sitting down with professional huntress, Melissa Bachman. Be sure to catch her show, Winchester Deadly Passion, on the Sportsman Channel airing on Sundays at 11:30am Eastern. You can find episodes, information about her jewelry line, and more from Melissa on her site, as well as on Facebook.

OpeningAs usual, there is plenty of news to cover this week, so I picked some of the more interesting headlines. However, to piggy back on episode 32, I wanted to continue the conversation on mentorship and firearm training. Pennsylvania does not have a training requirement to obtain a license to carry, though many states do have a training requirement. Here's a hint... the training you are required to take for your carry permit or license is not the end of the line for your training. As a responsible firearm owner, and for many of you, concealed carriers, it is important to continue your practice and training from professional instructors. Where should you get started? In our explore section this week, I'll dig into some of the basic classes you can start with, and some additional classes you can take to begin to up your game.NewsVirginia Doubles Back on Reciprocity Changes - At a CostSource Link: The Washington PostMagpul has a Clothing Line!"Source Link: GunsandAmmo.comGeorgia Looks to Push Campus Carry, AgainSource Link: AJC.comFacebook Bans Private Gun Sales on Facebook & InstagramSource Link: NYTimesA Professor Kicks a Student from Class Because…Source Link: WALB10ExploreSo You Bought a Gun?
