This week Mike flies solo while Max is out, and we dig into the fallout around Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after comments about the Charlie Kirk shooting. Along the way we hit upcoming training events, SHOT Show and NRA Show travel plans, EMS World Expo prep, and why media narratives can be just as dangerous as misinformation in the field.

In this episode, Mike and Max talk to Tom Holybee, owner of Ashigaru Defense. Tom discusses his journey into firearms and self-defense, the philosophy behind his school, and the challenges civilians face in accessing practical, affordable training. He shares his experiences with instructors like Sonny Puzikas and John Farnum, and creates a curriculum focused on realistic, scenario-based defense, especially for civilians. He emphasizes the gap between military/law enforcement training and civilian needs, highlighting the importance of practical skills, mindset, and adaptability over rigid dogma or gear obsession. The conversation also covers cultural influences, such as Japanese martial arts, critiques the modern firearms community’s inflexibility and elitism, and describes his classes—Stabus, Stubbus, and Bedroom Bedside—that address gaps in typical training. It concludes with reflections on violence, ongoing learning, humility, and practicality.Check out Ashigaru Defense Classes here:https://www.bulletn.net/trainer-profile/ec4d673ef919b1b9144a41e5a13f06156bThis episode is sponsored by Iron Pig Armament!Use code "Bulletn24" for 10% off all items!!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Visit our affiliate page for links and discounts!!https://blog.bulletn.net/affiliates/----------------------------------------------CHANNEL SPONSORSAmmo Supply Warehouse5 Rivers ArmamentIron Pig Armament----------------------------------------------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL and SAVE MONEY by visiting https://blog.bulletn.net/affiliates/Primary ArmsPremiere Body ArmorGoDark Faraday BagsXS SightsSlip2000Defiant MunitionsMediTac KitsIron Pig ArmamentRokland
