| 6/22/26 | ![]() Discord Questions: New Gun Owners Need to Hear This | EP38 | Buying your first gun sounds simple until you realize the firearm is only the beginning. In this episode of We Da People, the crew breaks down the real cost of gun ownership, what new shooters need to think about, and why training matters more than internet opinions. Shelton, Colin, and Fred get into the things people usually skip when talking about first-time gun ownership: holsters, safes, ammo costs, range time, legal responsibility, and the mindset that comes with carrying a firearm. They also talk about how often new gun owners should train, why “good enough” can become dangerous, and why being responsible with a firearm means more than just knowing how to pull the trigger. The conversation also gets into zeroing red dots and rifle optics, cheap optics vs quality optics, why your optic needs to hold zero, and how ammo choice can change your results. Then the crew debates whether every American should own an AR-15, common calibers vs niche calibers, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm ARC, .308, and what each round is really for. In this episode we cover:The real cost of buying your first gunHow often new shooters should trainCarry condition and one in the chamberLegal responsibility after a self-defense incidentWhy zeroing your optic mattersCheap optics vs reliable opticsAR-15 ownership and home defense | 1h 08m 58s | ||||||

| 2/24/26 | ![]() You Think You’re Ready Until It’s a Two-Way Range | with Quojuante Moreland EP 27 | Can you train for a gunfight, or is it all chaos the moment it’s real? In this episode of We Da People, we sit down with a retired Special Forces warrant officer turned DoD contractor to cut through the internet talk and get honest about what actually matters when rounds are coming back at you. We dig into the difference between Special Forces vs Special Operations, and why that distinction matters for how people think about mission sets, training, and capability. From there, the conversation goes where most podcasts won’t: fear in real combat, what training does (and does not) prepare you for, and why “the enemy always has a vote” is not just a cool line, it’s the truth. Then we shift into the part every everyday carrier, vet, and family man needs to hear: how trauma stacks up, how PTSD can hit years later, and why therapy is not weakness, especially in communities where people were taught to “just handle it.” We also talk life, parenting, road rage, and what maturity really looks like when your pride gets tested. In this episode we cover: Can you train for a gunfight, yes or no Why you fall to your lowest level of training Why the basics and reps matter most Real talk on fear, killing, and the mental aftermath PTSD, therapy, and getting help without shame Parenting, bullying, and choosing the high road *Key takeaway:* Train the basics hard, and take your mental health just as seriously as your skill set. | 59m 11s | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() Green Beret Reality Check: Civilian “Kit” vs Real Combat | Ren Ligon EP 25 | We Da People Crew sits down with retired Green Beret Ren Ligon to cut through the fantasy and talk real-world context: what actually matters for everyday carry, practical training, and staying alive in civilian self-defense situations. From the difference between combat missions and “gunfighter” talk, to why comfort and consistency beat hype, Rafi breaks down what people get wrong about gear, mindset, and the reality of violence. They get into the stuff most people avoid: why carrying too much can be a liability, how “operator cosplay” misses the point, and why civilians can’t map military rules of engagement 1-to-1 onto real life. Rafi also gives blunt advice for new gun owners: rent, shoot, learn your hands/body, and stop taking guidance from the loudest friend who “can’t shoot either.” In this episode we cover: Civilian vs combat rules of engagement (and what gets you jailed) EDC choices: comfort, concealment, and consistency Testing your kit: mobility, retention, and access under stress Training rehearsal: weak-hand work, rain, flinch control Why “more mags” isn’t automatically smarter Picking your first firearm: rent, compare, and get coached Community unity and responsible gun culture Ren Ligon: / ren_ligon | 48m 53s | ||||||
| 2/2/26 | ![]() Dating in the 2A Community: What Women Really Want | Part 2 with Guest Amber G. Johnson | EP 24 | Dating is already complicated—now add concealed carry, a digital footprint full of firearms content, and the reality that safety is always part of the conversation. In this episode of We Da People Podcast, we sit down with Amber G. Johnson (firearms instructor ) to talk about what dating looks like inside the 2A community—especially from a woman’s perspective. We break down the unspoken rules: when to disclose you carry, why “let’s go to the range” isn’t automatically a date, and how compatibility isn’t about politics—it’s about maturity, stability, and respect. We also get real about the uncomfortable side of firearms culture: women showing up to train after a scary experience… and then running into predatory behavior from people who should be professionals. From instructor boundaries (“ask before touching”) to why your behavior shouldn’t change based on the student’s gender, this is a conversation every responsible gun owner needs to hear. In this episode we cover: Dating in the 2A community and “gun owner compatibility” Concealed carry dating: when to tell someone you carry Why some women keep carry private for safety reasons Red flags at the range and unprofessional instructor behavior Carry options for women (on-body vs off-body, wardrobe reality) Edge/knife training and why pressure-testing matters What “responsible ownership” looks like (even down to calibers) | 42m 46s | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | ![]() How Men Can Better Support Women in Firearms Training | with Guest Amber G. Johnson | EP 23 | What makes women actually feel welcome and respected in the gun community—and what pushes them away before training even starts? In this episode, Shelton and the crew sit down with Amber G. Johnson to break down the real, practical ways men and instructors can create a better training environment for women—without being performative or awkward. This is a conversation about tone, ego, trauma-informed instruction, and cultural competency, and why those factors matter as much as marksmanship. We cover: Why instructors should check their motivations and ask women for honest feedbackCommon range turn-offs: yelling, embarrassment, over-correction, and “ego trips”How to build a welcoming brand that women actually trustThe importance of trauma-informed training and avoiding “gun as savior” messagingHow “standard curriculum” can unintentionally reinforce profiling and stereotypesTeaching situational awareness without labeling fashion, race, or “a hoodie” as a threatWhy respect (including language and pronouns) is a business and leadership issue, not a trend If you’re a firearms instructor, a training-minded shooter, or someone trying to bring more women into the range and self-defense space, this episode gives clear action items you can apply immediately. | 47m 30s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | ![]() AR vs AK: The Real Debate (Modularity, Ammo, Reliability + Draco Talk) | EP22 | On this episode of We Da People, Shelton and the crew break down why the AR platform keeps winning “out of the box,” where the AK still shines, and why certain “popular” setups (yes, we said Draco) get people worked up. We cover:Price + value: what you really get at entry level for ARs vs AKsModularity: caliber swaps, uppers, lights/lasers, M-LOK vs quad railsManual of arms: reloads, safety placement, controls, left/right hand useAmmo realities: 5.56 vs 7.62x39, availability shifts, performance expectationsAccuracy talk: “minute of man” vs precision, and real-world distance claimsReliability: piston vs direct impingement, carbon, and what actually mattersTraining hacks: the .22 conversion kit approach for cheaper reps This is a debate episode, but it’s not “fanboy vs fanboy.” It’s about what works, why it works, and what you should consider before spending your money. Drop your take in the comments: AR or AK—and why? | 38m 21s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | ![]() ATF Cuts the Tax Stamp? Suppressor & SBR Guide w/ Pew Culture | EP21 | The suppressor game may be about to change fast. If the $200 tax stamp goes to $0 for suppressors and SBRs, what should you do first—and what mistakes will get new buyers in trouble? In this episode, we sit down with Pew Culture to break down what the ATF/NFA changes could mean for everyday shooters, first-time buyers, and anyone trying to build smarter in 2026. We talk real-world suppressor buying strategy, wait times, and why the “cheapest” option can cost you the most later.

| 1/5/26 | ![]() Concealed Carry Setup: Holster, Belt, Knife & Real-World Tips | We Da People Episode 20 | Carrying concealed isn’t just “buy a gun and go.” If your holster sucks, your belt sags, or you’ve never pressure-tested your draw, you’re building false confidence instead of real capability. In this episode of We Da People Podcast, Shelton, Colin, Fred, and Dr. Sam Burrus break down what a practical concealed carry setup looks like and the mistakes that get people hurt, jammed up, or exposed in public. We cover: - Holsters that actually work: retention, trigger protection, and why custom-fit Kydex matters - Sidecar vs standard IWB: when an extra mag is worth it (and when it isn’t) - Gun belts are non-negotiable: stiffness, adjustability, and why “regular belts” deform - Appendix vs hip carry: comfort vs access, and what changes in close-quarters pressure - Off-body carry (fanny packs/bags): the risks, the benefits, and what you MUST drill - Knife as a “get to the gun” tool: why blades and alternative access points matter - One in the chamber debate: safety, training reality, and why “best” depends on YOU - Daily-life realities: printing, restroom/grocery store moments, and dressing around the gun - Legal and optics considerations: mods, jury perception, and knowing state-to-state laws - If you carry (or you’re thinking about starting), this one gives you a grounded framework to build a safer, more reliable setup. | 38m 24s | ||||||
| 12/28/25 | ![]() Cold Weather Hunting Gear Guide: Layering, Scent, Survival | Podcast EP19 | A cold, wet night on the farm turned into a real-world test of hunting mindset, cold weather gear, and what “prepared” actually means. In this episode of We Da People, the crew breaks down a frigid coyote hunt meant to protect calves during peak winter conditions—and the lessons hit harder than the weather.

In this We Da People Podcast roundtable, the crew lay out real-world “kit” thinking for everyday civilians: not cosplay, not fantasy—practical setup decisions based on purpose, environment, and training.

| 12/9/25 | ![]() Gun Range Etiquette: Fixing the 2A Community’s Image | We Da People Podcast EP16 | Showing up to the range with a gun and an ego is how people get hurt – and how the 2A community gets painted as reckless.
