Episode 291 - The Civilian Carbine

Feb 12 2025 76 mins

Its been years since I sat down and re-hashed the significance and execution behind building, and training with, a carbine.

As we roll into February, we have our latest SITREP for you, and no shortage of interesting news and on goings to discuss. From a somewhat humorous Bill being introduced to add Trump to the Mt.
