Liberal Gun Owners & Mid-Range Rifles | SOTG 1278 - Student of the Gun - Ultimate Destination for Firearms Education

Inspired by the Kris Paronto interview with Shawn Ryan, Professor Paul read the book “13 Hours” by Michael Zuckoff. As usual, Paul read the book with a pen and highlighters close at hand.

We began the discussion on Wednesday’s public hour and now we will continue addressing this topic in depth. Paul took four pages of notes regarding lessons that can be learned from the attacks on 9/11/12.

What is the job of a bodyguard? What did General Patton say about a “good plan”? Why do sheep fear the sheepdog more so than the wolf? We will answer all these questions and more. Don’t miss this episode.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

Gun Culture 2.0 is more diverse and inclusive than America’s historic gun culture because, unlike hunting, for example, security is a universal human concern. People will do what they can in response to feelings of uncertainty, insecurity or threat. Some will get a dog or buy a home security system; others will join Nextdoor or move to a gated community. And many perfectly normal people will respond by buying firearms.

This is precisely what happened in the 10 weeks leading up to Trump’s inauguration.

Although we do not yet have generalizable data, the buying conditions resemble those of 2020, when record gun sales were sparked by the COVID-19 outbreak, then fueled by protests for racial justice over the murder of George Floyd and sustained by a contentious presidential election campaign.

Vudu 3-9×32 Riflescope Only
The super short Vudu® 3-9×32 riflescope might just be the perfect optic. The housing is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum to be compact, lightweight and incredibly durable. This second focal plane design comes in at 6.8” and is fog, water, and shock resistant. The turrets offer ¼ MOA adjustments and are both capped for protection. A rotary dial provides an illuminated reticle with 10 brightness settings and the CR2032 battery provides roughly 300 hours of operation. The unique design provides an integrated base that is also compatible with any aftermarket mini-ACOG® mounts.

Vudu 3-9×32 Riflescope with EFLX & Ring Mount
For those wanting a non-magnified solution, EOTECH offers a version that includes a ring mount and EFLX® that can be mounted to the front tube section. It can be positioned at the top or at 45-degree offsets for close or moving targets.
