About This Episode:

Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are back with another round of Justified Saves. Before the stories, the guys take a moment to acknowledge Thursday’s tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon. Then it’s into two cases where the shooter had a way out: an Arizona driver on an I-10 off-ramp, and a Memphis homeowner who walked outside at 4:40 in the morning to check on his Jeep.

The back half is about the fight coming to you. A shopper steps in when a woman is beaten in a Dollar General aisle, a 77-year-old woman is attacked while feeding stray cats before dawn, a homeowner takes the day off after a break-in, and a Texas father is cornered in his own bedroom with his family behind him. Riley and Jacob break down the legal exposure, the tactical decisions, and why you own every round you fire. Tune in so you don’t miss!

About This Episode:

Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are back with another round of Justified Saves, and this one has a theme neither of them went looking for. A Florida homeowner fires through a closed front door. An Arizona homeowner fires at a shadow near a window. A Virginia father blocks in a delivery driver over a speeding complaint while his kids watch from the yard. And a Tulsa business owner draws his gun during what started as a conversation about a repossessed truck. Four cases, four very different endings, and one uncomfortable question running underneath all of them: did you actually know what you were shooting at?

Then the guys turn to the saves – a bank customer who steps in when a robber pulls a knife on the tellers, a man who comes back to a house he’d been thrown out of earlier that day and punches his way through the door, and a woman in Broward County who had nowhere left to go. Riley and Jacob break down the legal exposure, the tactical decisions, and the moments where each of these was still winnable.

About This Episode:

Today, Riley Bowman and Jacob Paulsen are bringing you our Legislative and Legal Updates episode — and August may have been the single biggest month for gun law in decades. Two federal courts struck down long-standing rules, the DOJ reversed a decades-old position on carrying in post offices, New Mexico’s waiting period finally died, and the FBI quietly released a crime report that nobody on the other side seems eager to talk about. California, meanwhile, just sent three more bills to the Governor’s desk.

But the big one is the NFA. You’ve seen the headlines saying it’s dead. Riley read the actual court order, and it isn’t — not for most of you. He also thinks the Justice Department made a serious mistake in how it handled the win, and that’s the part almost nobody is talking about. Jacob pushes back. Tune in so you don’t miss!
