Are the Marines running out of ACOGs? A recent story in the Marine Corps Times details the story of the shortage of combat optics and what the Corps plans to do about the issue. This story hurt Paul’s heart.

During our Brownell’s Guns and Gear segment, we will take a look at some of the new products that Brownell’s has on their website. Are you looking to build an RCP (rifle caliber pistol)? If so there is a new brace you don’t want to miss.

Also, we have our SOTG Homeroom for you from Crossbreed Holsters. Professor Paul hands out a “Go Team” and a good job to one teenage girl who took a stand against stupidity at her high school in Alaska. You definitely will need the duct tape for this one.
