Our guest today is Daniel McCarthy. Daniel is a Constitutional Conservative candidate for US Senator from Arizona in 2020. Daniel is an entrepreneur and a businessman. He is a husband and father. And he is an example of a citizen who is stepping up to run for office in order to protect and defend the Constitutional Values of Freedom and Liberty. 1) We have a nationwide audience. Tell us about the campaign and the election field here in AZ. Who are you competing with and what are the main issues in your district? 2) One of your platforms is to protect and defend our Second Amendment. Unfortunately, there are politicians RUNNING on the idea of shredding our Founding Documents. What are some of the specific issues that you can positively impact if elected? 3) Too often we are frustrated with the actions of our elected officials and the rally cry goes up to “vote them out”! But, if we were simply PROACTIVE and voted in pro-freedom, pro-2nd amendment candidates in the first place we could avoid a lot of pain.

Our guest today is Jim Supica. Jim recently retired as Director of the NRA Museums Division, where he co-authored the just-released Illustrated History of Firearms, 2nd Edition, with NRA Museum Senior Curators Phil Schreier and Doug Wicklund. The 1st Edition of this book was the best-selling firearms book of all time. Topics: #1) Firearms curiosa – The new book has some new sections on oddities – trap guns, knife/sword guns, unusual configurations, etc. Terrible ideas, like the cemetery gun is an especially interesting, if macabre, example. #2) Evolution of repeating arms – The defining features of those guns have been in a constant state of development and evolution for centuries. There are interesting, early, and little-known milestones. Like that 16th century full-auto 16-shooter. #3) Firearms values – in conjunction with Jim's work on Standard Catalog of Firearms. #4) What determines a gun’s value? - Condition – how do you evaluate a gun’s condition? - Trends in collectable firearms. - Solicit in

Our guest today is Greg Hopkins.

Talk so us about why so many Christians feel that self-defense is something we aren’t allowed by God to do? Where does the confusion come in? 2) The idea of having armed and trained security teams in churches in the US...the land of religious freedom from persecution...seems like something from a bygone era in the world. However, more and more religious organizations are training for safety within the walls of their churches, synagogues and mosq
