After a series of deployments and time spent in Ranger Battalion, Drew Wallace started down the path of a style of shooting many of us are familiar with from movies, myths, and legends, one combining the skills of horsemanship and marksmanship into a fast-paced heritage and sport. Described as a Western Speed Equestrian Sport, Drew Wallace Competes in Cowboy Man and Shooting, and we cover the history of the style, how it translates to the type of shooting familiar to Ranger Battalion, and how he got started. While we are actively seeing modern Gun Culture expand into activities like overlanding, the style of shooting that Drew Wallace participates paints the Marksman as something built into the history of Americana. A window into how what was once old is new again, the concept of an Armed Populace may have gone through a season of shadow, but is hopefully returning to the norm.

The American Debate on Gun Control regularly breaks apart when a utilitarian argument meets a rights-based one. The problem with how we think about violence, is that we too often resort to using it as a method of enforcement, instead of an action that is judged based on the context. The idea that an armed society is a polite society may have allure, but ultimately falls short of establishing a moral requirement, and instead opens the grounds for an ends-justify-the-means conclusion. So we engage with an argument which attempts to show that in order for a society to be moral at all, it must not have a government infringing on that right, and the exercise of the right to bear arms is part of agency being a necessary option to begin with.

When the Flux Defense Raider first caught our collective attention, it looked like the fusion of two worlds: the allure of a secretive mission combined with that kind of practicality which harkens to the everyman. In this episode we cover what it was like bringing the concept to life, social media shenanigans, community building, and where gaming meets gun culture.

[REDACTED] V2 // SUBDUED pre-order is live at redactedllc.com. There's no reason you have to go it alone. We spend plenty of time talking about the need for community, and how isolation is killing us. Sometimes you're the one reaching out for help, sometimes you're the one helping. Beware of unending pessimism, as it can lead to self-destructive choices. We make jokes about being an alcoholic or a loner, but when it comes to the quiet moments, we know when it hurts us. Sometimes the pain if life is better than not living it. www.redactedllc.com

The subject of violence is inherently bound to both metaphysical presumptions and ethical evaluations. Due to the immense moral consequence of acts of violence, how we evaluate an action to be violence and how that action is evaluated carry heavy weight. So, how we think about it must be considered with grave seriousness. In this episode, we start dissecting the concept of violence into its parts: metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology, as well as consider how logic plays a role. Support the show at redactedllc.com

Villain Weapons Systems brought solutions to IR Illuminators with the end user in mind by tackling the shortcomings of units approved for non-government markets. As Night Vision continues to trickle it's way into the everyman, Brandon Olson talks about mistakes new buyers make, comparing Gen 3 to Gen 2 Photonis tubes, all centered around illuminators and why they are more important than aiming lasers for modern night vision use.

Communications may get a bad rapport in Universities, but when it comes to communities and conflict, it bears the same weight as logistics. Gun Culture has long held a symbiotic interest with Radios, radio tech, and the legalities surrounding them. Mojave Repeater knows more than a thing or two about both radios and communicating through them, and helps guide us through the murky environment that is what they are capable of, as well as what to look out for to stay on the good side of the law. You could say that Mojave Repeater runs a commo shop, which means one thing to military and veterans, and a whole different concept to those engaged in the public market. His experience and expertise covers both the equipment, and how to use it, and more importantly, how to make it work for you instead of you spending your time trying to justify the capability.

For years we've seen the similarities between the culture around firearms to those around photography, cars, and more. If you've ever seen a reel or watched a modern video of someone shooting competition, you've likely seen something influenced by his work. And there's more to competition shooting than simply the stage plan. Rather, a whole ecosystem around the sport and its various disciplines. We dig into how competition builds more than skillsets, where we've seen good changes come about in the culture, and where we think things are going.

Michael "Gill" Gillingham, the CEO of Raidworx, discusses some of the nuances to optic risers, using night vision, and how the culture has changed as well as the benefits and drawbacks of competition shooting when it comes to room clearing and the tactical space. And while these topics carry the conversation for a while, we get deeper into the grit and camaraderie that can be found in Gun Culture. From the Marine Corps to manufacturing and training, Raidworx challenges the notion of luck on the battlefield, competition, or beat.

Co-Conspirator in the making of [CABIN IN THE WOODS], Peter Johnson of Archway Defense joins the REDACTED Culture Cast to discuss privacy, digital and physical, as well as illuminate how we apply the responsibilities attached to rights to our daily lives. One trouble with cyber security presents is how difficult it can be to set goals. The ideal of being a digital ghost may sound like an ideal to strive for, but much more often we're looking for vulnerabilities and fixing them. While Archway Defense specializes in training tailored to the customer's needs, Peter's concern about digital, and now social security adds context to an already murky subject. Enjoy the show.

After 14 years in Special Operations, Nathan Spearing exchanged a life of military achievement and adrenaline for a more valuable dedication: his family. His story stands in stark contrast to the millions of veterans who struggle with transitioning, not because they had challenges to face, rather that in addition to the hardships of leaving the known for the unknown, his departure came with hooks attached. Now, the Spearing family has built a life for themselves, focusing on productive property, and he gives an account of what that looks like, from the perspective of a father, a husband, and a former Special Operator. After living at the pinnacle of what much of Gun Culture holds in high esteem, he argues that you should first invest in productive property, so that you have something to defend.
