This is the Concealed Carry podcast, season 13, episode 24.

And welcome to Concealed Carry podcast, part of the concealed carry.com network, brought to you by HK. Today is actually Thursday, June 25th,

2026 as of the recording of this episode and I am your host Riley Bowman. Today marks a special

episode. We're actually going to do a replay of an episode that Jacob and I recorded 10 years ago this week.

Yes, all the way back in the last week of June 2016,

where Jacob and I actually shared with the listeners about the historical context

around the beginning of the war for independence for the United States of America.

The first shots fired, of course, at Lexington and Concord and kind of everything that led up to

that, which a lot of it was surrounding gun control. As many of you know, the British were

marching their way to Concord, where the one of the largest supplies

stores of gunpowder was located for the Patriots. And of course, on their way there in

Lexington met a band of, oh, 200 or so, rebels at that time, Patriots, of course, that

decided to meet them right there and,

uh, have a little bit of a skirmish. And, that's kind of where it all began. Uh, and, and,

and, and of course, there was gun control that was attempted to be implemented in the city of

Boston. And anyway, so we're going to get into that in this episode today.

There was really no reason to go and re-record something like this.

I thought it was a good episode to replay for you because it's no longer available in the standard podcast feed.

And so I hate to see it just get lost, you know, to the ether, so to speak.

So this is a perfect opportunity.

And the, you know, days leading up now to our 250th birthday of our nation to go ahead and bring this episode back for you.

But first, I want to share with you a couple of episode sponsors.
