  • A new variation of Optics Ready Stealth Sights allows for mounting on Glock pistols without a rear dovetail, using a rear sight that attaches directly to the optic. This product is specifically designed for Trijicon RMR optics and full-size Glock models, providing a lower 1/3 co-witness setup. The sights feature high-quality materials and bright tritium for visibility. Installation is recommended by a gunsmith, and compatibility is limited to specific optics and mounting configurations.

Going Ballistic

  • A three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit ruled that California cannot enforce a ban on concealed carry in hospitals, while allowing some restrictions in other “sensitive places.” This decision is viewed as a win for gun rights advocates, who argue that such bans unfairly disadvantage law-abiding gun owners.
  • Elon Musk criticized Kamala Harris’s gun control agenda by asserting that the right to bear arms is essential for safeguarding all other rights and protecting citizens from governmental overreach. This statement reinforces the view within the gun community that firearms are crucial for maintaining personal freedoms and resisting tyranny, echoing historical arguments by Founding Fathers like James Madison.
  • In response to a tragic school shooting in Georgia, Ohio Senate Democrats are pushing for new gun control legislation aimed at increasing safety measures in schools. The proposed bills include local firearm regulations, restrictions on gun possession for those with domestic violence convictions, and penalties for firearm-related offenses. This renewed push highlights the ongoing tension in the gun community, particularly concerning regulatory measures targeting certain firearms and accessories.

  • A marketing firm is recruiting military veterans to serve as paid social media influencers for the Harris-Walz campaign, aiming to leverage their credibility to promote gun control messages. This tactic raises concerns within the gun community about veterans being financially incentivized to undermine their constitutional oaths, as the firm has a history of supporting anti-gun initiatives. This move could further polarize opinions on gun rights and tactics used by pro-gun control advocates.
  • In a surprising turn in Washington state, public support has surged for a homeowner who shot a suspected burglar during a home invasion. This incident highlights growing frustrations with crime and gun control policies in a traditionally liberal region. The homeowner, who legally owns his firearm and has a concealed pistol license, has been hailed as a hero, reflecting a shift in sentiment that might influence upcoming gubernatorial elections. Notably, the state’s strong pro-gun laws and the recent uptick in concealed carry licenses further bolster the gun community’s stance on self-defense.
  • The article reveals that the Harris-Walz campaign is recruiting military veterans as paid social media influencers to promote gun control measures, which the author criticizes as a betrayal of their oaths to defend the Constitution. This initiative may have a negative impact on the gun community by leveraging veterans’ credibility to support anti-gun narratives.
  • Senator Mike Lee’s resolution calls for the media to stop naming mass shooters to combat the “contagion effect,” where potential shooters seek notoriety similar to past killers. This proposal, backed by various organizations and research, aims to discourage future attacks by denying fame to these individuals. The gun community may view this as a means to mitigate gun violence, while media resistance showcases their prioritization of sensationalism over responsible reporting.

Reviews

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Andrew479 – Five Stars from Andrew479: WLS is more than a podcast, it is a community. I am writing this the day after GunCon. Having now met the cast (except for Savage) and a few other members of the cult, Being a new listener / cult member, I am now able to better understand how significant this community is for many of your listeners.
  • My impressions from meeting each of you this weekend:
  • Shawn is a truly gracious human being who seems to really enjoy being around his people.
  • I had very limited interaction with Aaron beyond meeting him, but he struck me as a really nice guy and probably somebody I would enjoy having some drinks with.
  • Nick is a complex person and all around interesting guy.
  • Last, but certainly not least is Jeremy. Holy Christ you really have to be in the same room with this guy to understand when the apocalypse happens, he is going to sell Shawn’s SSB (or do anything else he wants with it).
  • One of the first things Jeremy said to me was really special and I will probably never forget his words. I asked him if he was rooming with Aaron. He told me that he was not, he was rooming with Nick so “you won’t have to listen to me rape Aaron all night.”
  • I think that really sums up the weekend. Great meeting all of you – 5 stars!
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Outlore – I’d rate six stars if I could. But then I’d also very likely suck my own cock if I could too, so don’t take the “”six stars”” comment as anything that great. It’s not like I would give you seven stars. Six is totally where you’re at.
    Anyway I know you all love AI so I got AI to write you a review on my behalf. They say AI is going to take everyone’s job… well honestly I get AI to do most of my work these days and I still get paid so it can’t be all bad. AI review below.
    Bang! Pow! Hilarity Ensues!
    If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to mix firearms expertise with a dose of pure, unadulterated humor, then look no further than the “”We Like Shooting”” podcast. Imagine a group of friends hanging out, cracking jokes, and occasionally dropping some serious gun knowledge — that’s this podcast in a nutshell.

    Hosts
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Chels – We LOVE WLS. The husband and I listen together and it sparks both meaningful and hilarious conversations. Gun fights is a blast! You guys are great and we are constantly talking about making the drive to see Jeremy, but have yet to do so because, well the whole having a damn job thing keeps getting in the way. Anyway, keep up the great work and putting out informative and fun content!

    P.S. Aaron, as a fellow Michigander, I really want to be on your side, but I swear man, that filter between your brain and your mouth clearly doesn’t work, and you just spout off without thinking, leaving me face-palming and shaking my head. 😉
