by For a guy who doesn’t like the sound of his own voice on a recording, I’ve been busy. By my count, I’ve done five radio shows or podcasts in the last few weeks. They all were talking about my run for the NRA Board of Directors as well as the rest of the reform slate found at ElectANewNRA.com.
The first was a segment of Eye on the Target Radio with Rob and Amanda. In this case, it was just with Amanda. We recorded this before she left for the SHOT Show.
Next up in order of recording was with Weer’d Beard of the Assorted Calibers Podcast. Weerd and I go way back in the gun blogosphere. I think I first met Weerd in 2011 at the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh. His Weer’d World blog has been around even longer than mine. My interview about my run for the Board is found in Episode 330. We also did another short segment that appears on Episode 331 on the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. Cleanup is underway and full rebuilding will take years.
The next day attorney Alex Ooley and I recorded Episode 166 of his Forge of Freedom Podcast. We discussed a range of things including the upcoming Board election, the divide between the old guard and the reformers, the impact of the New York trial, and the need for transparency at the NRA.
The penultimate podcast I appeared on was The Firearm Trainers Podcast with Rob Beckman. Again, we discussed both my candidacy and the full reform slate of candidates. Rob always ask the question of all his guests on what you have changed your mind about or would have done differently. You’ll have to listen to the podcast to get my answer.
The final podcast was an interview with John Crump on his John Crump Live podcast. I will note that we had some audio difficulty as John’s regular producer was not available and we recorded the episode somewhat off the cuff. The first portion of the hour dealt with the NRA, its problems, and my run for the Board. The second portion had us discussing everything from hunting in Africa to a lawsuit in North Carolina against the sheriff of Mecklenburg County.
I want to thank all the hosts for having me as a guest and allowing me to discuss my candidacy for the NRA Board of Directors. Their efforts to get the word out should go a long way to helping us elect a “New NRA”.
