SOTG 909 – Polymer 80 and US Military: World’s Slowest Learners

by | December 11th, 2019 | 0 comments

Is it fair to award the US Military with the “World’s Slowest Learners” Award? Let us take a long look at the history of disarming and distrusting US service members. How many more of your sons and daughters need to be murdered before they are “allowed” to protect themselves? 

During our Brownells Bullet Points segment, we consider the Brownells Exclusive Polymer80 Glock-like frame. How difficult is it to assemble your own pistol in your workshop or garage? 

Also, we have a SOTG Homeroom for you from Crossbreed Holsters. When it comes to being an armed citizen and dangerous on demand, there are two “A” questions; Allowed and Able. We speak to both. 

Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us:

”We receive a lot of warnings,” he said. ”It is not uncommon.”

The sentry, who was not identified, was uninjured by the explosion.

The Pentagon recently released detailed guidance that allows U.S. military personnel to carry privately owned, concealed firearms on base, a move that the Army’s service chief argued against publicly.
