About This Episode:
In this year-end episode, I reflect on significant developments in the world of concealed carry and firearms throughout 2025 alongside Jacob Paulsen. We analyze key events, highlight exciting product launches like the upgraded HK VP9 A1 series and Glock’s V-Series, and discuss the evolving dynamics of the revolver community following the inaugural Revolver Fest. Our conversation also addresses recent legislative changes, including court victories and challenges that impact gun rights in various states.
Additionally, we share compelling defensive gun use stories from the year, emphasizing the importance of preparedness. As we look forward to 2026, we preview upcoming events such as the SHOT Show and encourage our audience to remain engaged and knowledgeable in personal protection. The episode serves as a call to action for responsible concealed carry while reinforcing our commitment to empowering listeners in their journey.n, we offer actionable strategies for engaging positively in online communities, encouraging listeners to be proactive in their learning and to contribute constructively to discussions.
