Streamed Live Jan 11, ‘12:  Glock: The Rise of America’s Gun author Paul M. Barrett pulls up a GRRN bar stool to discuss his newly-released work. Much more than a Glock by Paul Barrett“Rock yer Glock” book, it’s a look into a changing America through the prism of the revolutionary handgun. Mark and Doc’s interview reveals the history, biography, iconography, business, marketing and political facets of Paul’s complex work. The 15 years of research is clearly in evidence, as is the education and guidance of Massad Ayoob and Gail Pepin. It’s an exceptional interview and a highly recommended book.

The Run, Doc, Run!!! bio-break features the driving 2nd Amendment themed Right to Bear song. Dave Bray, lead vocalist of Madison Rising (that’s James Madison) bellies up to the bar to tell of his group’s pro-American, pro-Freedom, pro-gun, hard-rockin’ message. Doc lays on his highest praise; “It doesn’t suck!”  Give their new self-titled album Madison Rising a listen on iTunes and Amazon.

 

Gail calls in, but Mas can’t talk; “He’s all tied up.”  The literal truth, suspects the Chatroom. In the rollicking aftershow, copies of Glock: The Rise of America’s Gun are won by Bob144(?) and VSpeck(?). It’s a great time! Listen to the podcast, then join us LIVE for the next Bar Stool Discussion, Jan 25th 2012, at 9:00 PM EST, for even more fun, frivolity, and facts.

Today we look at the good ol’ revolver for survival applications, discuss a few of the calibers available in this platform and their respective advantages/disadvantages, and overall just converse about why the revolver can still be an appropriate survival tool for many situations.  Whether your focus is on personal defense or potential hunting applications, the revolver has a proven track record over a century and a half in length and should be considered in any conversation about survival sidearms.

Show originally streamed live The 28th of December, 2011

Post-Christmas cheer abounds as Mark and Doc discuss the Holidays, gunny gifts given and received, and firearm related plans for the New Year. An elf from Northern Alberta relates the joy of finding a custom .243 rifle that Santa legally mailed to his doorstep. This promotes an examination of the widely varying inanities of Canadian and American gun laws. Wheelie love flows as Grant Cunningham’s highly recommended new Book of the Revolver is reviewed. Stockings of GRRN coal are distributed to politicians, agenda-driven bureaucrats, and the goofballs of Sons of Guns. Glasses of Barstool cheer are raised to Kathy Jackson, JP Grips, Midwest Gun Exchange, and the Appleseed Project. And…

Dressed as an elf all snug in her bed,
While visions of bayonetted computers dance in her head;
Gail doesn’t call in.

It’s an excellent Winter’s eve. A Happy New Year to All!

Notes: The Dec 14 ‘11 Barstool was cancelled due to Doc being under the weather and Mark’s family’s loss of a member of the Greatest Generation. Barstool #32 1/2 will not be released in order to encourage live participation in the Barstool Discussions.
