Massad Ayoob is my guest on this episode. I’m releasing this early because I have a lot of material from MAG 40 and another trainer to put out over the next couple weeks. I recently attended his MAG 40 class in Arkansas. It was awesome! I interviewed him about concealed carry for the hearing impaired, whether CCW’ers have a duty to protect others and female agressors. Also, I interviewed some fellow students from the course and Jon Hodway, one of the instructors. This episode starts with a voice mail from a listener regarding how to choose a concealed carry firearm. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast.

Everyone’s concealed carry situation is different. So I decided to talk about carrying whatever gun you can get away with. This episode is primarily inspired by a thread on the GRRN forum, in my subforum. What gun is enough gun? What can you carry in your particular situation? There are advantages and disadvantages to every gun and every gun is a compromise of some sort. Do you need more than one gun? Also, I received some EXCELLENT voice mails regarding the aftermath of a self defense shooting, campus concealed carry, and slide stop levers, so I answer those as well. Thanks for downloading and listening. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast.

Do you carry a gun in your vehicle? In some states it’s legal, yet laws differ from state to state. In some states it’s not legal. But for those of you who can carry a gun in your vehicle, you’ll find this podcast a collection of ideas you may want to try. Keep in mind, this is what works for me. Depending on what kind of vehicle you drive makes a huge difference. But there are definitely some vehicle carry methods I don’t like, so I talk about those as well. Also, this podcast includes an excellent voice mail from a listener in Sanford, Florida. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast

A recent shooting at a college in California has sparked more controversy about whether students at universities should be able to carry concealed handguns for self defense. I think they should be allowed to. So this episode is based on an excellent article in Guns and Ammo magazine about the subject of concealed carry on campus. I will of course provide a link to that article on the GRRN forum. The first half of this episode is about listener voice mails on open carry, Kahr pistols, IDPA and Ben Branam’s international incident that almost happened.

Correction and Congratulations!

I need to correct some statements I’ve made in previous podcasts about the Trayvon Martin case and selecting a handgun. Also, a couple of listeners called in some voice mails and I want to congratulate the first winner in my SCP contest. So this is a short episode, not really a full podcast episode, but nonetheless, some worthwhile content. Thanks for downloading and listening. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast

This show is about anti gun people and the arguments they use against people who wish to carry a gun for self defense. Have you ever spoken to an anti gun person who just doesn’t get it? In this episode I discuss the 2nd amendment in detail. I discuss what it actually means, how and why it was written and how it still applies today. If you find yourself in a discussion with an anti gun person, you may find some good ideas in this episode to help you have a persuasive and intelligent discussion about the 2nd amendment and the right to carry a firearm for self defense. This is based on the article, “Top Five Baseless and Subversive Arguments Against the Second Amendment” by Michael Chapdelaine. A link directly to the article can be found on the GRRN forum. This will be the last episode of this year, the next one will be Jan 2, 2011. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show

There’s a new shooting sport evolving rapidly. The Lone Star Shooting Association founded by Gary Burris and Dale Hunnicut. In this episode I interviewed Gary Burris the founder. I like their mission, to raise money for Gun Rights organizations. I also like their scoring system and the way they classify the different types of shooters. Gary was also a speaker at the Gun Rights Policy Conference about international gun laws and policies. You will be interested to hear what he has to say about the UN’s attempt at gun control.

Eric Shelton, former host of the Handgun Podcast is my guest host for this episode. I decided to take a little time off and asked Eric to jump in and fill in for me and he did a terrific job, as I knew he would. He discusses topics such as the NRA and other gun rights organizations, an update on his status and what’s in the future for him, and also concealed carry handguns. As always, Eric provides thought provoking and useful information for all firearms enthusiasts and concealed carry advocates. I miss his podcast, but also understand how life takes twists and turns. So I think you’ll enjoy this treat as much as I have. Thank you Eric for helping me out and best of luck in all that you do. Don’t miss this episode. I’m taking 2 weeks off right now to get a few things done at work. Next week, you will hear a cool interview that’s already recorded and I will be back on November 14, 2011 with coverage of Suarez International’s, Advanced Close Range Gunfighting course.
