Did you miss last night's Gun Nuts Radio? If you did, you miss a hell of a show. Breda and now semi-official guest co-host JayG had a great show on what "gun culture" means to us as gun owners. If you missed it, check out it here on download. If you're interested, you can also get a portable version by clicking here for a handy .mp3 format of the show.
You know, "gun culture" is an interesting thing. Here at Gunsite, I'm probably as deep in the "gun culture" as one can be. Daily discussion revolves around the use, care, maintenance, and utility of firearms. Openly worn pistols are not a reason for consternation, but rather a common, accepted sight. In fact, if you're not openly wearing a pistol here, you're the weirdo.
Our gun culture in America is a great thing - firearms owners tend to be individuals that still believe in the concepts of liberty, and ultimately that's what makes our culture great. Check out Gun Nuts Radio's show on our gun culture. If you'd like to check out the show on iTunes, you can subscribe by going to the iTunes store and searching for "Gun Nuts Radio", or by following these instructions to subscribe to our RSS feed.
Don't forget to tune in next week - we'll have some great product reviews and other coverage coming to you live on the air!

Gun Nuts Last Night: NDs and More
Yes, last night's Gun Nuts Radio included discussion on popular TV shows, such as NCIS, Castle, etc - but the real focus of the show was a discussion on negligent discharges, the least favorite phrase of any serious shooter. We even took it so far as to do an informative "show and tell" section on how to unload and show clear both a revolver and a semi-automatic pistol of the 1911-type. While that segment works best with the video, the audio should be quite instructive as well for any new shooters. That particular segment of last night's Gun Nuts Radio was definitely designed with new and inexperienced shooters in mind; but at the same time could also be used as a handy refresher for a veteran shooter. If you'd like to download last night's episode, click here. For the same show in handy, portable .mp3 format click the link.
For next week's show, I'll be on the road again in Arizona attending a 3 day carbine class at Gunsite. Breda and a surprise guest host will be hosting, so make sure you tune in.
As always, Gun Nuts Radio is available on iTunes, just head to the iTunes store and search for "Gun Nuts Radio" or click this link for instructions. I also encourage everyone to check out our featured "Book of the Week" - this week's selection is March to the Stars by David Weber and John Ringo. If you've not noticed, I've been bingeing on sci-fi novels lately.
Don't forget to come back next week, and also make sure you tell a friend about Gun Nuts Radio! Our most effective marketing is word of mouth, so pass the word!

Gun Nuts Last Night - Blogging!
A couple of programming notes about last night's Gun Nuts Radio before you click that link: 1) there may or may not be 2 minutes of dead air at the beginning of the show. The reason for this is that we just upgraded to BTR's Premium service, which allows us to use BTR's native VOIP program to host the show - however, initially it wasn't picking up gains from either of my two mikes, so we had some difficulties. We've replaced the "bad" show with an edited version, but BTR tells me it won't be live and processed for at least another hour (it's 0722 EDT as I write this).
Once we moved past the technical difficulties, the show itself was pretty fun. Robb Allen, The Nerds, Joe Huffman, and Kevin Baker all joined us, providing a fun rountable discussion that hit on favorite bloggers, shooting topics, and then finally on the one thing we'd like to see change about the way the industry interacts with bloggers. Click here for the show page to listen to the show, or if you'd prefer your Gun Nuts in .mp3 format your wish is my command.
A couple of things really stood out about last night's Gun Nuts in the closing minutes, when we were talking about changes we'd like to see to industry: Robb pointed out that a lot of the smaller, newer companies such as Daniel Defense and Tactilite have been successful in reaching out to blogs and online publishing; partly because they're smaller and more centralized, and partly because we're more cost effective. In the chat, SayUncle pointed out that usually the industry is friendly to us, but they don't exactly know how to leverage new media. Finally, Joe mentioned that he'd like to see bloggers put a more refined focus on their content.
What struck me is how neatly those three observations dovetailed. Think about it - say you're a blogger that focuses exclusively on say, Ruger firearms products. In a perfect world, you'd be on the distribution list for press releases from Ruger, and people from Ruger would send you emails saying "hey, we have a sooper sekrit new gun coming out, be ready", and that sort of thing. It allows Ruger to generate legitimate interest in their product, the blogger keeps a tight focus, and everyone is happy.
Definitely check out last night's Gun Nuts Radio, it was a lot of fun and I'm pleased as punch at everyone who was able to make it on the show. If you'd like to pick up Gun Nuts on iTunes, you can go to the iTunes store and search for "Gun Nuts Radio", or just click here for download instructions. Next week we'll have Julie Golob on with us again, to talk about her latest project with USPSA!
