Our Principles and Policies radio show for Monday March 4, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis do a follow-up on a story that we discussed last week involving Law Enforcement Targets, Inc and their “No More Hesitation” line of law enforcement training targets.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday March 2, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis talk about how unconstitutional government meddling in free-market situations create wide-ranging consequences that were obviously unforeseen by the meddling politicians who thought their “program” was the path to the “promised land.” We end with a discussion about how it really is possible to live VERY inexpensively- if you try to, that is.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Monday February 25, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis examine recent revelations that local, state, and especially federal “law enforcement” are buying “non-standard” targets which have pictures of pregnant women, old people, children, etc. rather than the old-style silhouette targets.
