After considerable thought, I have decided to take a leave of absence from weekly shows. The GET OFF MY LAWN! Podcast isn't gone for good, just for a while. How long that will be remains to be seen. In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back." Someday. Let's go out with a bang tonight, we will talk about whatever other topic comes up, and we'll reminisce about the past 4 years of this show.
Whether you're new to shooting/owning firearms or you're a veteran firearm shooter/owner, you probably have developed one or two pet peeves. These may apply to other firearms owners you know, people you see at the range, in the gun store, online, or anywhere else. Let's have some fun with another episode of The Airing Of The Grievances! "I'VE GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE, AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT!"
Join us and special guest, Dundy County, NE Sheriff CJ Smith for a discussion about the ATF Pistol Brace ruling, Constitutional Carry in Nebraska, and his fight to remain in office.
What is a man? What does it mean to be "manly" or "masculine"? Is that somehow toxic? When did being a man become such a terrible offense?
Let's sit down with a group of men who will talk about how being masculine, manly men is NOT toxic, but necessary. We will hear from them about how they fulfill their role in today's society and in their respective family units as well.
Note: This will NOT be a discussion about chromosomes or body parts. This is simply a discussion about a man's role in today's society.
What is a woman? That question has become the bane of people from new media to the US Supreme Court. But WHY is that? Is being a woman in today's society really all that much different from yesteryear? Has being a woman become a BAD thing? Do women even need to be feminine these days? Let's sit down with a group of women who will talk about how they can show their strength, confidence, and capability without compromising their femininity and the traits that go along with it. We will hear from them about how they fulfill their role in today's society and in their respective family units as well. Note: This will NOT be a discussion about chromosomes or body parts. This is simply a discussion about a woman's role in today's society.
Let's take a break from serious topics tonight and have a fun discussion on what would REALLY happen if a zombie epidemic broke out. We have countless movies, television shows, and other guides from which to draw information about such an event. Let's compare notes and figure out what you will need to know if zombies attack. Stay tuned to the end, I will grace you all with the ONLY thing you'll need to know in the event of a zombie outbreak.
Modern society is constantly evolving, most of which is a GOOD thing. But often we get so accustomed to "society" that we forget how the "real world" works. Let's talk about what it means to have a civilized society and what happens if/when society collapses and people revert back to the laws of nature, or the "real world."
By the time this airs, the Nebraska Unicameral will have voted on the 2nd round of debate/filibuster for LB77, the Permitless Carry bill for this session. Get the skinny on that and MORE!
More and more people are developing a mistrust for what we call "mainstream media." I believe that mistrust is both healthy and well-earned. That said, we all have to keep up with the world around us, lest we be caught unaware. With the traditional major news outlets suspect, there has been a movement to "alternative" media, such as internet broadcasts and podcasts.
Where do YOU get your news? We invite the panel and the audience to weigh in and list their GO-TO options for news, whether it is daily, weekly, or just whenever they feel a need to check into something.
Join us in the Live Chat and list the TV, Radio, Internet, and Podcast sources that keep YOU up to date on this crazy world.
The art of waging a full-scale world-wide-web war is alive and well. Let's discuss how these elite fighters who hide in their parents' basements to launch their keyboard campaigns actually CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT be trusted if the proverbial poop really does hit the fan one day.
We have brought this up many times before on this show, let's do a deep dive on just how worthless these I-D-TEN-T's really are.
There are myriad new firearm owners and 2A advocates/activists out there. When someone is new and still learning the jargon in "our world," often times they will use the wrong word or phrase and well-meaning but tactless keyboard warriors will light them up faster than than a doobie at a Snoop Dogg concert. We also see people on news outlets, both pundits and politicians, constantly misuse words or phrases. Some times they DO know what they are saying, but most times I believe they just don't know any better. That's where WE come in.
Let's discuss some of the more common words that are used incorrectly, and then offer a better word or phrase to use. As always, we will need some audience participation to help list the common mistakes we see from both new firearm owners AND media pundits/politicians.
I recently heard an episode of GUNS Magazine's podcast called "The Gun Cranks." In that episode, the three panelists all concurred that open carry is unquestionably and undeniably STUPID.
Let's have our own discussion/debate and find out if EVERYONE thinks that way or if those old fuddy-duddies are just plain FUDDS.

Let's have some fun on the last THURSDAY broadcast for at least a month! We will require some audience participation for this one, I'll explain on air. Let's see how many rabbit holes we can find tonight!
Remember, starting in March, 2023, we will move the live broadcast to WEDNESDAYS and see if that helps us reach more of you.
Join us as we visit with Amanda Suffecool and Rick Ector about their quest to join the NRA Board of Directors. We'll find out why a board position is important to each of them, and why it is important to ALL of us that we get good people onto the board.
EDC means many things to many people, but Every Day Carry should mean more than just your handgun. Let's talk about what ELSE you carry with you on an every-day basis, how you carry it, and maybe we can learn something from one another.
No specific topic or schedule for tonight's show, let's talk about Chris Kyle, Every 2nd Matters, and whatever else comes up in conversation.
Over the years, I have heard multiple firearms instructors oppose Constitutional Carry because they fear it will affect their livelihood. The facts do not support that.
Let's have a discussion about all the ways that Constitutional Carry BENEFITS instructors and how, with no requirement for a permit to carry, the possibilities for new class offerings are limited only by your own imagination.

We do not treat any other right as listed in the constitution the same way the 2nd Amendment gets treated. We do not place prior restraint upon our rights to speech, worship, illegal search and seizure, due process, or any others, EXCEPT our right to keep and bear arms. For THAT right, and ONLY that right, we must first ask permission from the State to bear a firearm in a concealed fashion in public. We must ask the State for a PERMIT to exercise a RIGHT. As a free American, I find that unacceptable.
The Supreme Court of the United States, apparently, agrees. Justice Thomas, in his opinion on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, wrote "The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not 'a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees."
Let's offer up some talking points and sound bytes that people might find useful as they fight to secure their rights across the nation.
In case you haven't noticed, society is quickly going to Hell in a handbasket. The new "progressive" movement has hijacked words and twisted them to become caricatures of their former selves. Some words have even been REDEFINED in Webster's dictionary! Words don't matter anymore, until they DO.
Is this just a natural progression in society? Is it a symptom of a deeper blight? Let's discuss.
This is the last episode of the year. Let's review 2022, the highs and the lows. Then, we'll discuss what we would like to see in the next trip around the sun.
