A Pirate Talks Guns
Our "A Pirate Talks Guns" podcast from The Tactical Pirate is a bi-weekly (more often if there's something cool to discuss, less often if we get cool new toys to test) series. We'll be passing along shooting tips, commentary on new laws and the shooting life in general, gear reviews, and our own demented brand of humor. The Tactical Pirate owner John Cello will interview firearms industry professionals periodically, so you won't get bored by him just blathering on. This is going to be a strictly enforced no politics zone so that you only get facts and opinions relating to the shooting sports. Visit https://tacticalpirate.com for other content.
