Assorted Calibers Podcast Ep 358: 357, Plus One in the Chamber!

  • the Air Force returning M17 and M18 pistols to service;
  • a Federal Court of Appeals rejecting New Mexico's waiting periods for firearm purchase;
  • Michael Bloomberg's Everytown offering to teach gun safety "training";
  • Australia's hoplophobes freaking out that legal gun ownership is increasing;
  • and March for our Lives blaming racism for their woes.
• Weer'd interviews Kent Brown of CCW Safe about how it protects members from charges;
• and in honor of Episode 357, David celebrates the life of Elmer Keith, the inventor of the .357 Magnum cartridge.

• a proposed law to adjust the NFA tax for inflation;
