Wasted Ammo Podcast: Guns | Gear | Reviews | Training | Preparedness

Today's episode is all about home defense and strategies. The inspiration of this episode was from Andrew Bobo, a listener who sent us a link to a video of  firearm instructor Reid Henrichs from Valor Ridge who said they you should keep all your guns and magazines loaded, chambered and ready to go. Andrew wanted our feedback on how tactical parents who have kids can stage handguns throughout the house but in a safe way - because a handgun is only good to fight your way to your rifle (maybe?). So this question led us to have a discussion on the full spectrum of home defense, inside and out. Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/58

Today on the Wasted Ammo Podcast we are zeroing-in on gun related news articles, listener feedback, and anything else that we find awesome. We have tactical mirrors, a new gun from Walther, Texas Chainsaw Massacre style self-defense shooting, California finds another way to disarm it's citizens, Obama's executive actions, and we finish this one off with a 12 mile tower that enters into the edge of space. Enjoy! Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/57

There is a lot to this story that is simply frightening. Government overreach, the vilification of patriots, media bias, the unreasonable use of "terrorism" charges, and not to mention the fact that two US citizens are being forced to return to jail after already serving the time that was originally handed down to them! This meat and potatoes of this episode really isn't about the militia in Oregon, it's more about the backstory and history of the BLM and the Hammond family that brought about this militia standoff.

ALICE Training Institute shares some startling facts about workplace violence from the Bureau of Labor Statistics - In the past decade, from 2003-2013 there have been 8,987 violent acts resulting in death at the workplace and 51% of these have been gun related. Even if you are the perfect co-worker and shower everyone with kindness and respect, you still may face a potentially deadly situation at work since nearly 80% of workplace homicides don't have anything to do with the workplace at all. With more and more stories of workplace violence, mass shootings and homegrown radicalized terrorist attacks hitting our news feed every morning, it's time to seriously consider being prepared for the worst no matter where you are, even if it means carrying a gun into a gun free zone. Today we discuss the pros and cons of deciding to carry a gun into the most common gun free zone most people will face on a daily basis - the workplace. It's important to note that we are simply having a discussion of a hypothetical situati

Welcome back to the Wasted Ammo Podcast! It's been a couple weeks since we have released a podcast due to the sudden loss of a family member. I wanted to say thank you to those of you that have sent me messages. Your words, thoughts, and prayers were greatly appreciated during this rough time. Now that we are back in front of the mic, we thought this would be a great time to refocus Wasted Ammo. Join us today as we have a brain dump about what we want out of Wasted Ammo, the blog, the podcast and most of all, the community. I would love to see a vibrant community for Wasted Ammo not only on facebook but on the Wasted Ammo website itself. I believe that we can do this by making our listeners part of Wasted Ammo by providing people the opportunity to guest post on a regular basis. If you have a story you want to tell, an experience you want to share, or a diy preparedness project you want to showcase then email us at mailbag@wastedammo.com and we will get it up on the website! Remember, iron sharpens iron, so o

Happy Monday everyone! Eric and I are back for part 2 of Is The Good Guy With a Gun a Myth?  If you haven't listened to episode 45 then you should probably stop and listen to that one first because this episode starts off right where the last one stopped. Just as a reminder we are discussing the article posted on Politico in response to the shooting at Umpqua Community College, titled The Myth of the Good Guy With the Gun. We break down the 4 main points of the article and go into our own personal beliefs and thoughts about gun control, the right to be armed, and what we the people need to do for guns to be interwoven back into the fabric of the United States.   Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/46

We are back in front of the mic after a short break. This episode was actually recorded in conjunction with the Zombie Apocalypse episodes two weeks ago and I planned for it to be released during my trip to Mexico but I just didn't have time to edit and schedule all three episodes that we recorded. After I got back from vacation I had a death in the family so that set us back another week. So, due to time constraints this is a raw and unedited episode. There are jokes and references that some may find offensive but  it's a glimpse into the Wasted Ammo Studio before all the editing. If you are not a fan of our banter back and forth then this will not be the episode for you - there is a lot of useless but funny stuff in this one. We will be back in the studio next week so we will be getting back on schedule for everyone. Enjoy. Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/42

We are back for part 2 of bugging out after the zombie apocalypse. This episode is all about the bug-out vehicle. Eric, Zach and I talk about the vehicle that we would buy to prepare for the apocalypse but also which vehicle we would have to commandeer after the fact to get what we really want.

  In this episode of the Wasted Ammo Podcast we have Zach Linnemeier, a good friend of ours on the podcast to help give some input into bugging out after a zombie apocalypse. Enjoy!

It's Monday so that means it's time for another Zeroed-In episode! Every Monday we scour the internet for anything that is gun related, cover listener feedback, and it's almost a guarantee that we will go on random tangents about nothing. Show-notes can be found at Wastedammo.com/39
