9. Irrational EDC | GMP #62

Self-reliance practitioners typically carry a gun, knife and a light source, but when you start getting into the specifics, the arguments start. From carrying too much to not enough, Host Brent T.

7. Are Gun Stores Doomed? - GMP#125

Barry Laws isn’t convinced gun stores will be around much longer.

Laws is the CEO of a shooting range and gun store and has lots of insight and controversial opinions about why the gun business is headed for disaster unless some major changes are made how we do business.  In this episode, Laws calls out everyone from manufacturers to shooters and explains why he thinks the firearms industry is going the wrong way.

4. A Substitute for Your AR | GMP #69

If President Joe Biden gets his way, there’s a good chance the federal government will soon do something to make AR-style rifle — or indeed, any “assault rifle” — ownership difficult, if not outright impossible. But if such a thing happens, the Gun Cranks discuss a few possible alternatives for your beloved black rifle.

3. Gun Cleaning Rights & Wrongs | GMP #73

A familiar task among gun owners, gun cleaning is often an enjoyed or dreaded exercise. But are you doing it right?

Back with the Guncranks, Host Brent T. Wheat, Tom McHale and Roy Huntington do a deep-dive into the right and wrong ways to clean your firearms, including using margarine on your pistol, the secret ingredient in Hoppe’s #9 and where not to store your sunflower seeds.

A longtime gunsmith, Roy also explains why he believes some guns have been ruined by a lack of cleaning, but more have been ruined by too much cleaning.

1. Wayne LaPierre Must Go! | GMP #76

The National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy hearing in Texas started this week and all the organizational ‘dirt’ you’ve heard in the media before now has actually been tendered under oath.

Publisher of The Outdoor Wire, Jim Shepherd and host Brent T. Wheat discuss some of the things revealed in court thus far, including Wayne LaPierre’s safari and yacht “security retreats” — plus numerous reasons why even the most rabid pro-NRA member should grudgingly agree it’s time to clean house on the top floor of NRA headquarters.
