Ken Hackathorn Sets Record Straight & Is an EMP Inevitable? | SOTG 1231

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. Thanks for being a part of SOTG!

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.

Wargaming the American Apocalypse: What Can You Do? | SOTG 1230

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?    Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share.

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. (Click Here for Full Article)

When Acorns Attack: Florida Deputy Shoots his Boot | SOTG 1229

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?

God, Guns & Guts: Protecting Houses of Worship | SOTG 1228

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.

Can you manage the “stunning” recoil of the 5.56mm cartridge? Fear not. During our Brownells Bullet Points segment we will address this first world problem and work together to come up with a solution. Should teachers be dangerous on demand? For our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we will consider a proposal being put forth in Utah to encourage more teachers to get training and carry, sort of, while at work. It’s a new year and we at Student of the Gun will be moving around the country a good bit.

Regardless, if a student’s life is in danger, armed teachers might well make the difference between a traumatic experience and a funeral. While anti-gunners loathe the idea of a teacher carrying a gun, Utah has has them for a good while now without incident. (Click Here for Full Article)

You should never hold up a restaurant and steal from the customers. If you're going to hold up a restaurant, you should never use a fake gun. If you're going to hold up a restaurant with a fake gun, only a total nincompoop would do so in Texas. For one knucklehead in January 2023, he learned this lesson the hard way.

For our Brownells Bullet Points we consider the state of the ammo industry and whether or not an AR or AK chambered in 9mm makes sense. What is dangerous training or what makes training dangerous?

On Friday afternoon, the police were alerted to a disturbance in the 1200 block of Indiana Street. The situation escalated when the suspect fled the scene with the female victim, suspected to be taken against her will, as the Borger police were dispatched around 3:40 p.m. A vehicle matching the suspect&#39;s description was soon spotted by officers, leading to a pursuit towards Fritch. The chase came to a head near the Hutchison-Potter County line where, according to Police Chief Donnie Davis, the male driver was shot with a firearm found inside the vehicle. Reports from ABC 7 News confirmed that it was the victim who had managed to fire the shot. The suspect, wounded but alive with non-life threatening injuries, was rushed to an Amarillo hospital. The woman, having survived the ordeal, was

He ran up to a Rally House employee that was shot in the leg, after a shoplifter stole jerseys from the store located at the Shops on Boardwalk near Highway 152 and Ambassador Drive. And White actually did that after he thought his life was in danger. “I was pretty scared when he come running across with a pistol in his hand running – right at me. I was a little bit terrified,” White said. “Just wanted to make sure my wife was alright, man. That’s all, and once he was gone off the scene, like I said, I went up there and helped with (the employee). His injuries were more important at that point.” (Click Here for Full Article)

The flaw is that when the trigger is pulled the bullets don't go where the gun is pointing, instead they tend to go a bit to the left. From what we've learned the problem seems to get worse with more use, and a quick internet search shows that this has been a known issue with these guns for at least the last 10 years and Glock still hasn't fixed it. Our firearms staff has run this issue up their chain of command and has been in touch with representatives at Glock and the only solutions they have offered is to tell them to instruct our members to compensate by aiming to the right of the target, and moving the sights on some of the guns so far to one side that they're hanging off the slide. They also suggested that our Officers just don't know how to shoot Glocks and were simply holding the guns wrong. (Click Here for Full Article)

Channel 11′s Rich Pierce spoke to the homeowner, Jeremy Cox. “Nothing was really going through my head except for the fact that I didn’t want to kill him, but if I had to kill him, I would,” Cox said. Police say Nathan Harvey broke through a locked basement door just before 5 p.m. Wednesday. “It was a loud bang and a scrape sound. We just kind of looked at each other like, ‘What the hell was that?’” Cox said. He and his girlfriend had just ordered pizza when they heard the noise and went downstairs to investigate.
