Hey, all! By the time you guys are downloading this episode I’ll already be taking my CCW Instructor’s Course- and since I plan on doing a LOT of free CCW classes, I figured I’d have a lot of students qualifying with a .22 lr. And THAT got me thinking about how much I love .22s in general- so this episode I just kind of go on and on about them being great, with no real agenda or plan. Next week I’ll be back to tell you about the Instructor’s course, and hopefully I’ll have those interviews for you guys soon!

Because there was so much to cover at the NRA annual meeting, we’re doing two shows this week!  Here, we’ll cover the Ruger SR556 and why it’s more than just another AR, along with a couple of other non-handgun items.  Then, on Friday’s show, we’re right back into handguns as much as ever!

Well the SHOT show is upon us, and Ruger’s new LCR Revolver gets a lot of attention this episode. I didn’t know quite what to make of it, and wasn’t going to take a side one way or the other, but the more I check it out, the more I think I like it! Plenty of links for it, too. Somebody who doesn’t like it, a Gunblast.com review, and Ruger’s own website, so you can get all sides. H.R. 45 has been introduced, and this one needs YOUR action! We gotta defeat this, and it won’t happen unless we all do our part. The NUGUN link will give you a lot of the details, and Dustin’s link will help you contact your elected officials. Finally, I have to admit that David Spade may be a whole lot cooler than I wanted to give him credit for, and Richard in Florida has a segment on flashlights for us.

Lots of wandering content in this episode, as I try to adjust to being on a night shift, and answer a whole ton of listener email. This was one of the most fun episodes I think I’ve had, because I really enjoy when the listeners write in. I talk about the Springfield XD, some stories in the news, Richard in Florida has something for us, we consider some .22′s for target practice, and I wonder aloud about action movies and their effect on shooting perceptions. Finally, I stir the pot and try to get an iTunes vs. Zune battle royale underway.

For a few weeks now, ever since I began to suspect the CEO of Ruger, Mike Fifer, was subscribed to my show, I’ve been hesitant to talk about Ruger’s firearms.  I may just be a grassroots podcast, and not a journalist who is supposed to be unbiased, but it had me worried.  What if I said nice things about Ruger and was accused of being astroturf?  What if I unfairly said bad things just to prove otherwise?  Well in this episode, I talk out my feelings on the topic, and clear the air for myself, if nobody else.  A plug for Syd, Kalashnikitty t-shirts, and TWO training tips from Richard round out the episode.
