PRN Episode #5 What to Do After a Shooting

In this episode David talks about What to Do After a Shooting.

Its easy to learn how to shoot. However, it is harder to learn when to shoot. Even more so what to do after. Because that is not always addressed in some classes.

There are two schools of thought when dealing with the police, and David discusses them both

The show is scheduled for Monday at 10pm central time at this link.

If you cannot listen on Monday, you can always download the podcast for listening at your own leisure.

I have several blog posts on this subject and have written about this on other sites like guns.com as well. It is my view that there are many people teaching how to shoot, and a few teaching when to shoot, but learning What to Do After a Shooting is not as well covered in the instructor world.

If you don’t know how to handle yourself during police questioning you can find yourself a suspect instead of a crime victim. The justice system has two different paths depending on its view of you as it relates to victim or subject. Officers quickly decide which path to put you one, and it is extremely hard to get back if you have been derailed off of the crime victim track. This is a topic I have written extensively about.

I was a guest on the Destiny Survival podcast

I recently was a guest on John Westley Smith’s Destiny Survival Podcast – John runs a very cool site Destiny Survival, and I highly recommend you visiting his site. We had a good time talking about a variety of preparedness subjects, and I learned a lot from just talking with him.

Destiny Survival is a very good preparedness website – like me, John is documenting what he is doing to become prepared. His says his websites goal is to “help you and other preppers as I continue along my own preparedness journey. You probably know already that we must prepare for survival in a rapidly changing world. After all, how will we live when life as we’ve known it has changed forever?”

I think that is a very noble mindset, and urge you to take a moment to visit his site. He has tons of articles on things like goal setting, emergency dental kits, Active shooters, the oathkeepers, and much more valuable information.

He is a very spiritual man, and is great about helping others, he is a writer, homeschooler, radio broadcaster, and all around good guy.

I enjoyed being on his show and look forward to talking with him again.

His show “DestinySurvival Radio” is a weekly podcast covering a variety of topics related to prepping and survival. A new program is released each Thursday, and most shows are roughly an hour long. He has been doing this a long time and is much more professional at the podcast game than I am.

The show will be live on blogtalk radio at 1pm this afternoon, but as with all PRN shows, you can download it after the show anytime for your convenience.

Spinsales is a Great YouTuber

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhtwdJ9k-Eg

I have decided to start showcasing some of the websites and YouTube Channels that I use as a resource. Today I am going to introduce you to a YouTuber named spinesales.

This guy has a lot of great videos, he does a lot of machining and foundry work, as well as gunsmithing and bluing. I first started following him when I saw some of his swaging videos (for those that don’t know swagging is the process of using pressure to create jacketed bullets).

I asked him some questions and he responded by making the videos I have a the bottom of the post.

What he is talking about is swaging .22lr spent cases to begin the process of turning them into .223 jacketed bullets. Which, while labor intensive, may just become an extremely valuable skill. Just imagine the ability to take a spent .22 case that most consider worthless, and turn it into a .223 hollow-point bullet ready for reloading. This is pretty darn cool.

Spinsales has some really great videos, and from my contact with him, he is a really good guy. I really enjoy watching his videos, I have learned a lot – he has great videos on machining as well as other things.

PRN Episode #3 Mindset

In this episode David talks about:

Proper defensive mindset
The concept of reasonableness
Judge Learned Hand’s calculus of negligence
A recent road rage incident David was involved in.

The show is scheduled for Monday at 10pm central time at this link.

If you cannot listen on Monday, you can always download the podcast for listening at your own leisure.

Mindset is pretty important. I actually think mindset is the most important aspect of being prepared for disasters. I have talked about this multiple times. I particularly like the post on Whats Important Now. How you think and what you think about shape every aspect of your life. Proper mindset is what differentiates winners from losers, citizens from soldiers, and Soldiers from Operators.

Mindset has kept people alive when they have suffered injuries that should have been fatal. You just have to keep your head.

Additionally, the concept of what is reasonable tempers the mind. I may be willing to kill to survive, but being a reasonable person I balance this willingness with an understanding of the law, consequences, and morality. This balance can be a complicated algorithm on occasion, but the ideas behind reasonableness is simple.

PRN Episode #2 Gun Safety

Here is the link for Monday the 28 of January’s show.

In tonight’s show we are going to discuss gun safety – since this show is going to deal with firearms I think it is important for everyone (not just the rational) to realize that a gun is not going to jump up an shoot something on its own.

Proper precautions prevent a lot of things – and when it comes to guns – following some simple firearm safety rules prevent tragedy.

Gun safety knowledge is essential to preppers – as well as to anyone that owns or is around firearms of all types. It is not hard to be safe around firearms, but it does take the willingness to take responsibility for your own actions and pay attention to what is going on around you.

If you forget the link the show is easy to find – simply visit blogtalkradio.com and use the search bar to look up the Shepherd Show. We are in the family section – because our show is family friendly.

Unlike my site which occasionally allows me to discuss religion and politics – you won’t here any of those topics on the podcast. Today it is strictly gun safety
