In this episode of the Green Ops Podcast, Luke sits down with Erick Gelhaus of Cougar Mountain Solutions to dive deep into his recent Police1 article, “Why Your Agency Shouldn't Shelve the Shotgun.” Erick brings a wealth of experience as a law enforcement trainer, firearms expert, and former deputy, offering practical insights into why the shotgun remains a vital tool for patrol officers in today’s ever-evolving tactical landscape.
Together, Luke and Erick discuss the misconceptions surrounding shotguns, the advantages they offer over other long guns in specific scenarios, and how proper training and mindset can unlock the platform’s full potential. Whether you're a law enforcement officer, firearms instructor, or just passionate about tactical readiness, this is a must-listen conversation that challenges the trend of phasing out the shotgun.
