Being a Student of the Gun is not about being a novice or beginner. Student of the Gun represents a life’s journey of education, enlightenment and the enjoyment of firearms. Each week Student of the Gun will introduce our listeners to all manner of firearms related topics be they sport, recreation or personal defense.
Unlike the television format, through the magic of digital radio, we will have the opportunity to explore topics more deeply rather than just give them a quick glance. Discussions will address both that which is current news in the firearms world as well as traditions and foundational principles. Student of the Gun, a beginner once, a student for life.

Ken Hackathorn on Lights & the State of Police | SOTG 1232
Prof. Paul and Jarrad are on the road to Tennessee to teach you hippies some classes! So to bide the time, we’re giving you the full, uncut interview that we did with Ken Hackathorn, addressing his internet breaking opinion about weapon lights.
But not only that, as he and the Professor reminisce and lament about the State of Policing in the country today, and what it would take to get either of them to sign back up for that job. Spoiler Alert: You can’t afford it.
So yeah, we have Ken Hackathorn on the show today, an internationally recognized trainer, to follow up on the discussion we started last week in regard to lights on handguns. There is much more than a one minute video short on YouTube.

Wargaming the American Apocalypse: What Can You Do? | SOTG 1230
No intellectually honest person can argue that we have allowed the United States of America to be put into a terrible, dangerous position. Hard times are coming. The question we address is what can each person do about that? We will talk about controlling those things that we can control.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech, Professor Paul will consider flashlights and weaponlights. What is the difference between Lumen and Candlepower? Does it make a difference?
Also, we have an SOTG Homeroom sponsored by Student of the Gun University. Paul and Jarrad will consider some controversy regarding weapon mounted lights and whether or not they are a good idea.

We would hope that the crash of AT&T services on Thursday 2/22/24 served as a wakeup call or at least as a lesson for the American masses. We are far too reliant on technology that can break down at a moment’s notice.
The first cover story for the incident was a solar flare, but that did not stand up to any close scrutiny. Next up was the accidental human error story. AT&T was supposedly conducting a normal, scheduled upgrade and the system collapsed. Oops!
In Europe, where Washington, D.C. does not control their media, observers are stating that the AT&T outage has all the signs of a cyberattack. In other words they think the system was hacked.
Whether you choose to believe that or not, it’s interesting that within the last two weeks we have been treated to multiple reports where US intelligence services have warned about continuous hacking attempts against our communication grid.

When Acorns Attack: Florida Deputy Shoots his Boot | SOTG 1229
A Florida deputy sheriff unloaded his pistol at his own patrol car after being startled by an acorn that dropped on the car roof. It gets better. The supervisory sergeant joined the deputy in shooting his cruiser. Oh, did we tell you there was a handcuffed suspect in the car? Certainly there are some lessons to be learned here.
Another Ohio Sheriff has come forward to address the information and intelligence that was shared with senior law enforcement officials. What is the realistic threat facing the people of the United States? What can be done by every adult in America to prepare for this threat?
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Optics, Professor Paul will address aging eyes and changing vision. How can we use technology to make our lives better and ensure success when it comes to the employment of arms?

A Florida deputy is seen firing his weapon repeatedly at his patrol vehicle after mistaking the sound of an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot, according to video released alongside a sheriff's office investigation.
Newly released body camera footage of the November 2023 incident shows the dramatic moments the Okaloosa County deputy shot at his patrol vehicle while a handcuffed suspect was inside.
"I'm hit! I'm hit!" the deputy, Jesse Hernandez, can be heard yelling, though no one was shooting at him.

God, Guns & Guts: Protecting Houses of Worship | SOTG 1228
You might not have heard of the recent attack at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. The national media is not excited and Democrats are not pushing gun control because good people with guns prevented a massacre by a bad woman who had a gun. We are going to focus on the lessons we can learn about how to protect houses of worship.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider the “dot in the circle” reticle on the HWS optics and how you can use this purposeful design to your advantage. Also, during our FrogLube tip of the week, Jarrad will tell the best way to lube it up and get the job done.
Have you enrolled in Student of the Gun University? We have numerous classes scheduled in Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. The best part is that you can enroll in an upcoming residency course but you can start learning right now.

Invaders Attack Cops, Laugh About It | SOTG 1227
The United States of America is a joke to the invaders who are infesting our nation. Witness the recent incident in New York City where 5 illegal invaders attacked two police officers. The criminals were released without bail and then they laughed and flipped off the news cameras.
During our Tech Talk from EOTech Optics, Professor Paul will address optics on handguns and the common issue of “I can’t find the dot.” How do we fix this issue and make the most of your gear?
Also, we have our Homeroom segment brought to you by www.SOTGU.com. How important is vision to shooting? Do you know which eye is your dominant one? Not everyone has the same vision level.

Customer Reviews
SOTG speaks the truth
Paul, Zach and Jarred speak the truth. Whether you want to hear it or not, our country is in deep crap. If you want to be able to distinguish between the crap and the good give SOTG a listen I don’t believe that you will regret it!

Sandra Fluke Moment
During the August 9, 2023 show, episode 1201, Paul had his Sandra Fluke moment. His outrageous personal attacks on a female certainly reminded me of Rush Limbaugh’s attacks on Sandra Fluke back in 2012. I will not be listening to the show ever again.
Awesome
Can’t get enough,I could listen to the professor all day.
