Firearms Training, Gun News and Current Events with Ben DeWalt

About this episode

The episode features Ben DeWalt discussing firearms training, current gun news, and personal anecdotes.

"I believe that fundamentals never change—but as shooters and instructors, we should never stop evolving and learning." Episode Summary In this episode, we sit down once again with our friend Ben DeWalt from On Sight Firearms Training. We dive deep into the ongoing challenges every shooter faces—grip, sights, and trigger control—and why diagnosing your own problems on the range is so critical. Ben talks through the difference between trends and fundamentals in the firearms world, why optics and weapon lights are here to stay, and shares his candid takes on what needs to die a bloody death in training circles. We also break down the most recent 2A news, from Tennessee’s deadly force expansion to body armor bans and other firearm's news. And of course, rapid-fire Q&A and some personal stories about moving south, bad travel etiquette, and whether or not we’re really about that running-with-the-bulls life. Call to Action 1.
