Always something interesting on the Bane show. I’ll stick with my 15+1 Bersa Thunder Plus, .380 EDC or a machete 👍🏻

My Favorite

This podcast is the only audio podcast I still look forward to every week. I sometimes disagree with him but there is no question he is hardcore pro 2A. Also, I have grown to love some of his oddball music that I never would’ve been exposed to elsewhere.
