Training is Survival

Special Guest May 29: Dick Heller

We have a very special guest for the May 29 show. Dick Heller, the Plaintiff in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 2008, is the landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm in the home for self-defense.

Dick Heller is a longtime firearms rights’ activist and resident of the District of Columbia. June 2018 is the 10^th anniversary of this big win.

We will talk to Mr. Heller about the case, about new threats to keep and bear arms and about the hostility of Washington, D.C. to the Second Amendment. Link to case: Click Here!

If you have a few dollars to spare, Dick Heller’s Foundation continues to fight for the Second Amendment, without all of the administrative costs associated with the big firearms lobby groups.

I listen to y'all every chance I get. It is one of the best. Thank y'all for all the information and dedication . Truly the light of L.A. Ronnie Lipham Jr.
An excellent show covering all things relating to armed self defense. They cover everything from weapons, ammo, to accessories, schedule training classes, discuss legalities or legislation pertaining to it. I love the show, and tune in every week!

Armed Alabama Radio FM Talk106 Terry Huggins
I have been listening to the archives for a couple of months but now listen live on Tuesday 6-8PM. Excellent resource and wealth of knowledge for AL Concealed Carry. Thanks judge and Adam for the program. Dennis Daniel
Informative and entertaining. Alabama's only true 2A talk show. Lutricia Whatley-Strange
Really enjoy listening from work on Facebook. 106.5 isn't in the I heart network and the building I work in has no reception for radio, so I can still catch that first hour until I leave. So many people are misinformed about what is legal and what is not legal, so this is very helpful forum to present and dispel a lot of misconceptions about Alabama carry laws. Amber Giles
