We are bringing you Part Two of the interviews we recorded at the 2009 IDPA Nationals. This episode we feature interviews with four very different female shooters. First we talk to Joyce Wilson, the Executive Director of IDPA. Second we talk to Nikki Pinto a 16 year old high school student, shooting her first national match and she did a great job, remember her name because she’s going to go far. Our third interview is with Randi Rogers of Team Glock (also known as Holy Terror) who we caught a brief interview with between stages. Finally we talk with Cyndi Dalena of the First Shots Program.

Another Episode from the road, This time at the ILEETA conference in Wheeling IL
We have 3 interviews. First we talk to Lou Ann Hamblin a police trainer who, we found out the next day after we did our interview, won the Iron Cop Competition. She discusses a couple of women Police Officers that she uses as examples of officer survival and staying in the fight. Below Are links to more information about them.

Next, we talk to the inventor of a new product the Train Safe a firearm barrel block that gives everyone visual evidence of a disabled firearm even with chamber closed. I thought this would be great for dry-fire practice and really would have come in handy in a class I recently attended where the instructor swept the entire class, he had checked his gun and I guess we were supposed to take his word for it because he stood by his technique even when called on his unsafe behavior. I don’t even like guns that I have checked myself to by pointed at any part of my body. A product like this could eliminate that problem.
Finally we talk to Ron Borsch who has researched Active-Killer shootings and analyzed the results, his conclusion is that 50% of these shootings are stopped by unarmed citizens and another 25% are stopped by armed citizens. He challenges the police department policies that prescribe that officers wait for orders before entering a building with an active-killing in progress. It is a very interesting discussion that although what he teaches is for police officers only, there are significant implications for the armed citizen. We include his handout with his permission.

This week some of the ProArms Team is on the road gathering new and exciting interviews. So, we went into the file of choice interviews that we save for special occasions. We start off with a great interview Gail did with Tom Gresham last June when they were in Hannibal Mo, filming segments for Personal Defense TV.
Next we, we have recent interviews with two very special women. First you’ll meet Kate Krueger, who owns Derby Guns in Scottsdale, Arizona and has flourished in a world where gun shops are traditionally run by males. Finally, hear the inspiring story of 21-year-old Anna Gunter’s journey into both armed and unarmed combat skills, and how she, alone, backed down a gang of punks who approached her with obvious nefarious intent.

The Girls take over the Podcast! Terri and Gail are your hostesses for this marathon Podcast . Gail once again takes her recorder on the road and she talks with three of the top female firearms trainers in the country.
First we talk to Vicki Farnam who is vice-president of Defense Training International and co-author of the books “Teaching Women to Shoot: A Law Enforcement Instructor’s Guide” and “Women Learning to Shoot: A Guide for Law Enforcement Officers “ We talk to Vicki about her popular class for men who teach women how to shoot.
Next we hear from Gila Hayes of The Firearms Academy of Seattle and The Armed Citizen’s Legal Defense Network. Gila is the author of “Effective Defense”, field editor for Women and Guns Magazine , and has published articles in numerous magazines. She talks to us about women buying that first gun among other things.
The last and longest of our interviews is with Kathy Jackson of the Cornered Cat website, a fountain of knowledge about firearms. Kathy is also the Managing Editor of Concealed Carry Magazine as well as an accomplished firearms instructor. We talk at length about women carrying a concealed weapon and methods of carry specific to the female. We also talk about a tragic accident where a little girl shot herself with her grandmother’s gun; you can read that story here. Kathy told a couple of other stories illustrating why carrying your gun in your purse is not a good idea, I have posted them in the “Episode Discussion” area for the ProArms Podcast at the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. Also, check over there for all the other Gun Rights Podcasts in our network.
This podcast is our longest yet but there was no way we could separate these three interviews, so enjoy.
Finally Terri gives us an update on the new ProArms store that she and her husband John are building in Live Oak, Florida. They are already selling guns and teaching classes even though right now they are working out of a tiny office.
Kathy Jackson shoots a perfect 300 in the LFI Qualifier.
