This episode of We Like Shooting is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Medical Gear Outfitters, Rost Martin, Bowers Group, and Matador Arms
Welcome to the We Like Shooting Show, episode 636! Our cast tonight is Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!
Agency 171
Savage – tonight, we’re ditching the old “cult” label and leveling up to something way cooler. We’ve been calling our supporters the cult for years, but it’s time to evolve.
Jeremy – Welcome to Agency 171, a secret crew born right after the nation’s founding, all about defending your 2A rights with no BS compromises. We’re talking absolute freedom against those who want to divide us and grab our guns.
Nick – The cult is history. Agency 171 is the future. Isn’t it weird how 171 pops up everywhere? Keep an eye out—it’s your sign to jump in.
Shawn – This is our new listener support program. Or is it? Everyone who is a cult member will be migrated automatically tomorrow morning. You don’t need to do anything except check your email (check spam). You’ll get an email with details and you can take a look at the rewards and upgrade if you’d like. Way more rewards, way more fun and has so much more coming. There is even a game with all the cast and YOU as the main character. There will be missions (describe missions) with prizes as well. I have big plans for this and can’t wait for what’s to come.
After this week, after giving everyone a chance to upgrade, I’m giving away a gun to a random operative. I have many to get rid of and the Agency is where it’ll be happening.
Agency 171 is a fictional secret society created as a fun rebrand for the “We Like Shooting” podcast’s listener support model. In the lore, it’s a clandestine organization founded in the early 1800s (post-1789) to defend absolute 2A rights against the Mandate for Divisive Action (MDA), a made-up deep-state cabal that promotes gun control. Listeners “join” as Operatives through monthly pledges (from Recruit at $5 to Director at $60+), unlocking exclusive perks like bonus content, merch (e.g., stickers, coins), and community access in the Vault. It’s all for entertainment—support the show, get in on the mystery, and fight “tyranny” with humor and gear.

Reviews
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from RRGW – I have been a fan since about episode 5, Or when ever Jake first told us about We Like Shooting show was on the network. When you never knew Nick was on the show until someone asked him a question, and he replied with three words. You really need to have Lil on more, at least once every 6 months. A A ron Fuck that shit head loser. Jermey, now that’s a guy you can have a beer with do some lines of coke, and sit on the roof and say hello to commies from a distance. Shawn what can you say about him that hasn’t been said already SSB. Savage Fuck that commie bastard. Best Podcast ever, look forward to Monday night. No notes
P.S. Ear Pussy, 5 Squares
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Bottle Dog – I love this show and have for over 8 years. I always appreciate the differing perspectives on various topics both industry wise and politically, but, every now and then, we have a nonsensical discussion that seems like ragebait, (from the usual suspects), the conversation you had about the Glock changes was probably the most mind boggling one yet. You claim to not understand why people are mad, and, to your credit, Glock is not an American company, however, the reasoning you presented about why its meaningless is hypocritical to other points you have made before and operated on logic that almost seems to ignore the actual, repetitive thought process of the powers that be who seek these bans to begin with. First of all, while its their decision to modify and try to comply with laws, having a company capitulate to clearly unreasonable demands that seek to assign them blame when there is absolutely zero liability to be had, is an awful look for the industry at large. This is, in some ways, the cake analogy all over again, as used in the exact episode. You can apply the exact same argument to the Hillary Hole from S&W. Even further, if you say that you are ok with it because its being used for criminal activities, and that you just want all people, including califonians, to have guns to buy, ignorimg the very accurate points that savage made about how this will absolutely not sway Californiainto allowing even the new models, that is open to the broad scope of what these states dictate as criminal use, even including harmless possession. This is equivalent to a company choosing to only sell state compliant models, then charging more. What would happen if California or New York, or any of the antigun states began prohibiting any model which is sold outside their jurisdiction in configurations that don’t align with their laws, under the same argument that Chicago uses about how all the illegal guns come from Indiana? I agree that it doesn’t really matter THAT much to the end user, but these states will take a mile each time an inch is given. At the end of it all, whether you think its a non issue or not, people choosing to boycott Glock over this is justifiable and much more valid than most assume. I’m not even a fan of Glock to begin with, but I do think its scummy, considering it will very likely make absolutely zero difference to whatever laws or suits they are trying to avoid. Had they just released these models in a different window of time, as possibly a new generation or variant, it wouldnt have matter at all. Moreover, their discontinuation of all older models is fuel on the fire as well. Why not allow the other models and present the V models as ones friendly to these states, even if hush hush method of appeasing these localities and offering a “new” model with iterative improvements for everyone?
Sorry for the rant, I still love the show and appreciate to difference of opinion. You guys are fantastic to listen to at work or on the go.
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Capt. Doogie – these guys are the only thing making Mondays survivable. glad to have Aaron back, somebody has to take all the body shots and generally be obnoxious. the nights when Shawn gets conned into drinking too much always makes me laugh. hope one day Aaron can get proper lighting.
