Professor Paul says farewell to one of his mentors this week. Wiley Clapp, USMC veteran and long time gunwriter has completed his journey here on earth.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider what we can and should expect from a home defense gun. We lay out a checklist to follow when choosing a firearm for the gravest extreme.
Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com we will consider Riot Season in America. LA is burning now. Are the leftist scum planning to export this to a city near you? What can you do to prepare for it?

We are diminished.
Wiley Clapp, Shooting Illustrated contributor and “Fightin’ Iron” columnist, died last week. He joined the magazine when it was in its infancy, and his byline graced the pages every month for more than 20 years. Clapp had an uncanny ability to captivate readers with a lively writing style that delivered a savory mix of pertinent facts and his signature humor. He was one of the magazine’s most valuable assets.
“Wiley Clapp played an enormous role in the history and growth of Shooting Illustrated,” said Shooting Illustrated Editor-in-Chief Ed Friedman. “He wrote the back-page column—“Fightin’ Iron”—under every editor-in-chief the magazine has had in its history, and it was consistently the most popular page every month.”
