Show Notes:
Episode 116. Soft on Crime, Hard on Self-Defense? Indianapolis & the Fight for Gun Rights
In this episode, Alex Ooley and Mike Ooley discuss two topics related to gun rights and self-defense. The first topic focuses on the push for soft-on-crime policies in Indianapolis, which is leading to a rise in self-defense cases. The officials in Indianapolis are upset that people are defending themselves and using deadly force against criminals. The second topic discusses a tragic incident in Nashville where a mother negligently shot and killed her daughter. The hosts emphasize the importance of treating all guns as if they are loaded and investing in quality holsters. They also mention the upcoming NRA Annual Meeting and the importance of supporting organizations like Gun Owners of America and Firearms Policy Coalition in the fight to protect gun rights.
