530-How to Build a Useful Home Armory That Won't Lose Monetary Value and May Save Your Life
Guns are great investments.
Well, perhaps I should say that it's possible for guns to be great investments...and at the worst, they are a decent store of value.
If you've never owned a firearm, I'd like to share with you a thoughtful, reasonable path into gun ownership that will help you to make good decisions and get the most bang for your buck.
In today's show I lay out for you a sensible approach to gun acquisition that will help you to construct a useful home armory that will allow you to have the tools of defense and offense that will cover most situations you could conceivably ever face without making bad financial decisions.
Enjoy!

A Nation of Cowards by Jeffrey Snyder (audio version)
This is the audio recording of an essay published in the Fall of 1993 in The Public Interest magazine.
The essay is titled: "A Nation of Cowards" by Jeffrey Snyder.
You can access a text version of this essay here: http://rkba.org/comment/cowards.html
I'm publishing this essay for you as a thought-provoking defense of the morality of your being well-armed.
In today's political climate where critics are drawing a moral equivalence between mass murderers and an average armed citizen, I think this moral defense is warranted.
The facts and names of the essay are dated. The arguments are not.
As you consider this essay with 25 years of hindsight, do some research into how well the arguments have weathered the test of time.

528-Tools and Tactics for Self-Defense in a Non-Permissive Environment (like a school)
The tagline of RPF is "...living a rich life now..." But it's hard to LIVE a rich life if you're dead.
So I'd like to help you--and others--have a higher potential of staying alive.
I have looked and looked for practical responses to the recent school shooting and have found very few.
This is my best effort to help you with some practical solutions to the problem.
I did my best in today's show to keep it free of politics and free of guns. (To be fair, I think it's best to say it's politics-lite and gun-lite.)
Give it a listen. Even if you are frustrated by the current gun debate, I think you'll find some useful, practical ideas to help you defend your own life and the lives of others--even in a non-permissive environment.
