SOTG 194 – Final Word on Open Carry: 5 Issues That are More Important




Student of the Gun Radio show

Summary: With the rampant misconception and misunderstanding, and quite frankly, myopic behavior going on, Professor Paul has decided to address the “Open Carry” issue one last time. This is it. Paul highlights five issues we need to deal with in modern America that are far more critical than Open Carry. Our SWAT Fuel Warrior of the week called in with a question about group training versus private lessons. An excellent question and one that we are happy to address.
