In the modern world there is all kinds of information available to us just about any topic we want to learn about.\\xa0 That info is right at our finger tips ready for us to access at a moments notice. \\xa0

\\n

The firearms industry is no different.\\xa0 In fact it may be an industry with a higher than average density of new media options for its consumers.\\xa0 There are tons of YouTube channels, podcasts, blogposts, and more.\\xa0 That is a good thing.

\\n

Today I am sitting down with two folks that are active in the firearms podcast and instruction world. Bob Mayne, of the Handgun World Podcast and Ben Branam of Modern Self Protection are two of the many people that in the industry that are creating quality content for consumers in the firearms and personal protection\\xa0 industry.\\xa0 Today we are going to have a conversation about podcasts, firearms instruction and the gun world in general and it is gonna be a blast!

In a world where three gun podcasts collide\\u2026

\\n

One of the most rewarding aspects of the firearms industry is the people.\\xa0 It is people like Ben and Bob and you that make my job as awesome as it is.\\xa0 When I heard from John, a SSA Alumni and a listener and friend of Ben and Bob\\u2019s that this dynamic duo was going to be in NE Ohio to teach a two day course, I did my best to clear my schedule so that I could network, make new friends and record some audio for you.

\\n

I am glad that I did.\\xa0 I was able to spend all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening with Bob and Ben.\\xa0 I got to know their program, their instructional styles and then as individuals.\\xa0 It was a good weekend.

\\n

Bob and Ben were in town to teach their Beyond Concealed Carry Course and I am guessing that they will be back in Ohio in the future to teach again.\\xa0 Until that happens you have the opportunity to train with Safety Solutions Academy.\\xa0 SSA\\u2019s Parallel course would be our Critical Defensive Handgun Course.\\xa0 It is carefully designed to help you understand and master THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILLS for defending yourself and those that you love should you face a violent encounter where innocent life is on the line.\\xa0 Follow the link and check out the course outline for our Critical Defensive Handgun course and get registered today!
