Lloyd Bailey : Armed Lutheran Radio – The issue of guns is a hot debate in America. As a gun owner, Lloyd wanted to know how he as a citizen of the Kingdom of the Left (the state) and the Kingdom of the Right (the spirit) should think about gun rights and the use of potentially lethal force in self-defense. As an American, we have rights under the Constitution. As a Christian, we have a higher authority to answer to. Lloyd is a husband and father of two, software developer and wannabe competitive shooter. He has also written and edited several books focusing on self-defense and how to counter misuses of Scripture in the gun-rights debate.
Ben Branam : Modern Self Protection – I’ve loved shooting since the first time I pulled a trigger at age 8. During high school I volunteered at my local PD where I learned more about handguns. I joined the Marine Corps Infantry after high school. I was a reserve for 10 years with 2 years of active duty and 1 tour in Iraq in 2003. I worked for an armored car company for almost 7 years mostly in the LA area of California. During all that I also got a degree in law enforcement and went through two different police academies. Being a cop never worked out, but through it all I’ve always been training people to fight. I spent all of 2008 in Iraq again as a private contractor defending a base. There I got to teach and train with the US Army and others. Now I want to bring that experience and my joy of teaching to others. I love teaching firearms and want the good people of the world to be able to defend themselves. It’s now my mission and purpose in life.
Rob Campbell : Eye on the Target Radio – With over thirty-three years of firearms experience, Rob brings his love for recreational and sport shooting to the training and gun discussion table.  He is an NRA Certified Trainer in 8 disciplines (Home Firearms Safety, Personal Protection, Basic and FIRST Step Rifle, Pistol, and Shotgun) and all things reloading and is a Certified Range Safety Officer.   Additionally, Rob is an ALICE active shooter response trainer. Robs earliest firearms memory involves handling a Stevens .22 when he was about 4 or 5, and then for his 8th birthday he became the proud owner of a .410 shotgun.  But the love of his young life was a .44 Magnum Marlin rifle that he got when he was 13.  He couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with it. His uncles said that it was his aim, and so he practiced and practiced.  Then Rob gave it to them to shoot, that’s when they collectively decided that it must be the gun’s fault.  This practice is evident when you see him in action on the range. Amanda likes to say that Rob learned to read with the Dixie Gun Works Catalog.  And that knowledge is evident.  Callers try to stump Rob and end up in a deep discussion on the history of this or that firearm.  Rob can talk firearms history or ballistics off the top of his head,  you have to see it in action to believe it.
Charlie Cook : Riding Shotgun with Charlie – Charlie Cook, the host, driver, producer, and editor, has been a firearm instructor since 2007. He’s NRA certified to teach Home Firearm Safety, Basic Pistol, Basic Shotgun, Basic Rifle, Personal Protection Inside The Home, and Refuse To Be A Victim. He also teaches Utah Concealed Firearm Permit course as well as the SABRE pepper spray course. Charlie came up with the idea of “RSWC” after watching Carpool Karaoke and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. He wondered how he could use that format with members in the firearm community.

Matt Schinzing : Geeks, Gadgets & Guns – Matt is the one with the crazy ideas and a bit of a Half Life fixation.
Amanda Suffecool : Eye on the Target Radio – Amanda is a degreed Manufacturing Engineer who has brought her experience in Safety Training to the firearms arena. While Amanda was focusing her career on training, problem solving and operations management, she traveled the US extensively.  This travel put her in cities with no knowledge of the safeness of that area. Given the world situation, her concern for personal safety grew.  Then came the day that she opted for a career change to teach and share with others the topics of  safety, self-confidence, and firearms skills. She says that her earliest firearms memory was one sunny afternoon.  “My Dad took my brothers and I out to the back hill to shoot at the bed of a 49 Chevy pickup truck.  The truck was parked on the side of a big hill, and my uncle was salvaging parts from it.  I guess that Dad must have just gotten a new black powder 36 caliber Colt Navy, and I being 6 or 7 was up for the adventure.  We were told to focus on the back of the truck because Ray still wanted to get the glass from the doors. The boys all took turns shooting at the bed of the truck, and then it was my turn.  Dad gave me the pistol, put both my hands on the grip, stood right behind me so my little shoulders were against him.  He positioned me and told me to shoot at the truck and to hold on tightly.  I held the pistol out, and it felt like it circled round and round, and then I pulled the trigger.  The blast was tremendous (I still remember that after 40 odd years) and I jolted back against Dads legs.  When I opened my eyes I saw that I had shot right through the passenger side window and out the drivers side.  The boys laughed and laughed, so much for salvaging the glass.”
