Lists o’ Guns! BSD #50 Streamed Live! 9/5/12: Although Mark and Doc have been anything but good little (sober) boys, they’ve been making their lists, checking them twice, gonna find out which grrrls are naughty and which guns are nice. As the sweet smell of desperation wafts from the DNC, the boys discuss the guns they hope to find under the Christmas Tree (even if they have to put them there.) As you might guess, the lists are every bit as eclectic (and eccentric) as the gentlemen; ranging from the solid Marlin 1894C Lever Action, to the anachronistic Colt Single Action Army, the semi-modern Dragunov and the futuristic .338 Lapua. Add the future favorites from callers and the always frenetic chatroom, and you’ve got two hours plus of great, hardware-filled, budget-bustin’ webradio! The RunDocRun! features Defense Distributed, a group developing 3D printable firearms. The intent is to freely distribute the capability to manufacture firearms individually in case of need. Information (and freemen) want to be free. You are really missing out if you don’t join us every other Wednesday at 9:00 PM EDT. The next BSD is September 19th. Be there!

The Times They Are a-Changin'  Streamed Live! 8/22/12: With all due respect (very little) to the Minnesota Mushmouth; these last two weeks have seen changes A Blowin’ in the Wind. Mark and Doc happily discuss the nomination of gun-friendly Paul Ryan to the now believably conservative Republican ticket. The media’s grudgingly honest reporting of many cases of self-defense with firearms is noted with glee. In California, a proposed semi-auto ban is stopped dead, while in Colorado a civil rights victory supporting CCW in colleges is won. Most incredibly, several Illinois State Attorneys are openly defying their Chicagoland Dons by no longer enforcing the state’s blatantly unconstitutional firearm statutes. Is the dike at long last about to break? This must be what winning feels like! Attorney & Certified firearms instructor Guy Relford filed a lawsuit August 22, 2012 in St. Joseph County (Indiana) superior court on behalf of Clay Edinger. Mr. Edinger was denied access to his polling placeto vote in the Indiana primary because he was carrying a legal firearm. Mark spoke with Clay earlier before the live show to discuss what happened on May 8. After Clay's attorney Guy Relfordfiled the paperwork for the lawsuit, he spoke with Mark about what was filed and what relief they are asking in the case.

Artist With a Gun! Streamed Live! 8/8/12: Ryan Cross, the extremely talented graphic designer who created the standout GRRN block logo, the Podcasting Freedom T-Shirt, and many others, joins Mark and Doc Percocet for a free-wheeling, gun-tinged, link-filled discussion.  The Aurora and Sikh Temple murders and all too predictable media and political blovations naturally take precedence. However, other far happier issues -- LEVERS! -- are bounced around by host, guest, and chatroom. Check out Ryan’s appropriately named website at http://hunterofdesign.com.

Soundtrack To Restoration: #47 Streamed Live! 7/25/12: The Star-Spangled Banner, reborn as a hard-rockin’, call-to-arms anthem, sets the tone for this BSD -- and just maybe becomes the soundtrack for the Restoration of America. Dave Bray, lead singer of Madison Rising, expounds about their version of The Star-Spangled Banner, his love for the Land, and the desperate need to change its current path. The band’s “counterrevolutionary” themes are a rallying cry in these critical times. Doc wheedles an admission that the message might just be heard at a certain convention in Florida in the coming month. You heard it here! And their music is great!

They Do Make a 46! Streamed Live! 7/11/12: Cowboy T, a San Francisco Liberal slams aside the GRRN saloon doors eager to challenge the grunting conservatives bitterly clinging to their guns and cheap beer. And instead finds a Fern Bar’s worth of understanding, inclusion, and

Today your host discusses the respectable, if not exactly flashy, Mini-14 carbine from Ruger.  We look at the advantages of the Garand-type platform from a disaster preparedness viewpoint as well as some of the downsides of this venerable design. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLzxL8lH46s httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fk84KLiaa4 httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IArTbvLKXd8 httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJCdgFfhbk  

The audio attached to this post is what you could say is an old time audition tape. We'd like for you to listen to it and then e-mail us feedback about it. Either by the contact form at the bottom of this page or by using the e-mail addresses that I talk about in the audio. Please make sure that you carbon copy Cowboy T and myself. So the idea. Last year, or maybe the year before for a short period of time. We had a show by a younger gentleman that was supposed to be slanted towards liberals. Think he actually called it the "Liberal Gun Show" and let's just say he did not stay podcasting very long. Don't really know why, if it was bad feedback or maybe not enough feedback. But he just stopped one day and I could never get in contact with him again. But after thinking about it. It's a good idea to have diversity in the network. See recently I have come to the realization that my strong conservative views are not necessarily the same views that my other gun owning friends believe in. Apparently, most of them just nod their head politely when I talk about things that they may not necessarily believe in. Turns out some of them are actually libertarians or that real scary word gun owning, "liberal". The only reason that I can think of as the reason why friends don't speak up about their alternate views is that I am pretty outspoken about my beliefs and maybe they are not as strong in there's. Or they just don't want to have a confrontation with me. Either way, I wish they would speak up. I like debate and discussing ideas, even if I think you're wrong. But maybe that attitude is also part of the reason. So why don't I try to correct some of that by bringing a show to the network. It may fill that void for those that are not necessarily die hard conservative gun owners and may be in the same time open up a dialogue between all gun owners. In my Gun Rights Advocates Podcast you hear me at the end of every show say "It's not about guns,it's about freedom". I fully believe that and I fully believe that everyone should be involved in protecting it. So maybe conservatives are more vocal about protecting that right. I've come to the realization that there are a lot of non-conservatives that also enjoy that right. But they just feel left out of the party. So, give a listen to Cowboy T. It took a while to find someone to move forward with the idea of a liberal show for the network. You can imagine that a lot of liberals that were in contact with me were very skeptical of my idea. They didn't think that a diehard conservative could be open-minded enough to allow such a thing on what they consider the ultimate conservative gun rights network. I hope by bringing this show to the network we can prove them wrong, but open a dialogue about protecting the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. I'm not going to change my mind on any my socially conservative beliefs. But I look forward to having an open dialogue with the more liberal minded gun owners about Second Amendment. Cowboy T looks like a guy that will bring that to the network. But please let us know what you think.  

By The Power of JMB - 45! Streamed Live! 6/27/12: Guns, guns (rights), and guns (open source) take center stage this BSD. Mark is making 4th of July plans for a gun review of a suppressed Ruger 22/45. Along with Doc, he marvels over the reinvention of Ruger, illustrated by recent products like the 22/45 Lite and 10/22 Takedown. This is not your father’s, nor Bill Ruger’s, Ruger Company. S&W is also making changes with the SD VE, which might lead to a buying opportunity as the Sigma is discontinued. Some military surplus love is spread over the 7.62x25 caliber. Caller John Jackson, our own GRRN Forum co-administrator, Aussie Rogue, is the plaintiff in an important SAF lawsuit. They’re challenging New Mexico’s unconstitutionally ban on CCWs for legal alien residents. You GO John! Kalifornia’s latest crop of insane gun law proposals are also discussed. Foxy Greta Van Susteren piñatas BHO over his Executive Privilege protection of Eric (Gun-Walkin’) Holder during the Run-Doc-Run. In the second hour, Mark and Doc propose an electronic repository of firearm designs and manufacturing specifications. This is in case some disaster befalls us: zombie apocalypse, alien attack, economic collapse, military action, Michelle Obama, etc. Thoughts and comments are solicited. Down in Florida, members of Team ProArms/ John’s Lawn Equipment are threatened by days of rainfall from Tropical Storm Debbie. They all come through relatively unscathed, but many of their neighbors did not. Mucking out the pole barn, Gail doesn’t call in. Your humbled scribe wishes everyone a happy Independence Day. Take some time to think about our Freedom, and the high cost of winning and then keeping it. Then, blow some sh!t up!

44 Special: Streamed Live! 5/30/12: There’s a bit of politics and a bit of firearms this International edition of the BSD (Canada counts, eh?)  Matt McLatchy, of Canadian Reload Radio, drops in to fire a warning shot aboot drunk ‘castin’.  But not before MTV’s Adam Curry waves a shotgun at drones violating his Texan airspace. And yes, it can always get weirder, as shown by BATFE’s initial efforts to limit military-type shotguns and Gander Mountain’s biting of the hand that pays them. This ‘cast has a reflective feel; Memorial Day being only a few days past. The sacrifice and service of our servicemen and women is brought home by our own GRRN podcasters: Ken Kowalski of The Rimfire Podcast and Daniel Shaw of the Gunfighter Cast. Mark and Doc’s holiday was full of remembrances, burgers, beans, and bullets. Doc’s Memorial Day Gun Nation podcast is a must listen, as is Paul (Politics and Guns) Lathrup’s.  And, it has Bagpipes! Mark announces Mas Ayoob’s donation of a MAG 40 class to the GRRN (worth much more than $800.) The Master suggests everyone LIKE the Massad Ayoob Group (MAG) on Facebook. Booya! The Run-Doc-Run bio-break features two Madison Rising anthems, including the definitive rock version of the Star Spangled Banner. The chatroom’s lively chat bounces from topic to topic, like a pinball machine on Crack. However, Road Warrior Gail completes her six week MAG March to the Sea in Clearwater, FL; leaving destruction, desolation, despair, and destroyed technology in her wake, and doesn’t call in.

Hello Gun Nuts!: Streamed Live! 5/02/12: Mark & Doc get a little political in this BSD. Like many gun rights advocates, they find themselves on the horns of a dilemma this Presidential election. In a broad ranging discussion between hosts, callers, and chatroom, the choices, actions, and ramifications are roundly – and intelligently – discussed. Paul Lathrop of the Politics and Guns Podcast brings some very cogent points. It may be a vote against, but we damn well need to make that vote count! Thankfully, it’s not all about politics; there’s lots of fun stuff too: with industry news, new guns, and a friendly scrum on CCW choices. Ken Kowalski of The Rimfire Podcast calls in from behind a Ma Deuce in Afghanistan. In Okinawa, Daniel Shaw of the Gunfigher Cast slogs 10 miles in full body armor to benefit wounded warriors. Birthday wishes go out to Alan Gottlieb, a spry 65. Many, many, more! The Vicki and Grant Cunningham stir-up the always peptic chatroom. In the aftershow, Mark and Doc provide some cool software and tips to make everyone’s computing safer and easier. Gail could have certainly used the tips. However, Japete, the Wacky Witch of the Center, told Gail that to get back to Chicagoland all she has to do is click the heels of her Crimson Trace XDs together three times while repeating “There’s no place like Rahm’s home”, and Gail doesn’t call in. Correction: In the BSD #40 Show Notes, Matt was identified as working for American Specialty Ammo. This is not the case. Your humble scribe regrets the error.

Lugar kaBOOMed!: Streamed Live! 5/16/12: Indiana gun news with national implications predominate this session of the BSD. Indiana attorney (and firearms instructor) Guy Relford discusses the case of Clay Edinger, a veteran who was feloniously denied his right to vote because he was legally open carrying. Relford also represents Ben Magenheimer, who calls in to the BSD to tell of being forcibly ejected by police from the local zoo for the non-crime of open carrying. The BSD then raise glasses brimming with cheer as Indiana voters deliver a big NRA Rated “F” U to Obama’s favorite Republican; Indiana’s non-resident Senator Dick Lugar. Politics and Guns podcaster Paul Lathrup helps with the celebratory discussion. Throughout the BSD and Aftershow, the Chatroom roils along on High Boil. Gail calls in, but reports that Mas is unconscious; “sleeping” as she puts it. The Chatroom expresses their hope for a speedy recovery. Make it a habit to visit the GRRN Wednesday nights between 9:00 and 11:00 EDST.  You’ll either find Doc Wesson’s Gun Nation or Mark and Doc’s Bar Stool Discussion.  You just can’t go wrong either way!

LAID in Moto-city Streamed Live 4/18/12: Rick “9mm” Ector, firearms instructor, blogger, gun rights activist, and media resource, dials up the GRRN barroom from the mean streets of Detroit. In an outstanding interview, he recounts his 7 year journey from unarmed mugging victim to the owner of Rick's Firearm Academy of Detroit, and his corresponding move into gun rights activism. Despite years of Mark’s stalking, when cornered at the NRA convention Rick quickly agreed to this interview, and hopefully many more. After attending many meetings, interviewing countless people, and pulling hundreds of triggers, Mark describes his trip to the 2012 St Louis NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits (NRAAM). It’s Mecca for firearm and freedom fans. Sounds like a great time! You know…next year’s NRAAM is in Houston, and there’s already talk of a GRRN Expedition. Keep an eye on this GRRN Forum Thread for developments. The Vicki is once again a rose amongst the thorny chatroom denizens. However, hemmed in by piles of spent casings and smoking computers, Gail doesn’t call in. The next fun, frivolity, and firearms full iteration of Mark and Doc’s Bar Stool Discussions is May 2nd at 9:00 EDST – 6:00 PDST. You don’t want to miss it!
