Summary

Mark Koernke and Donald Betcher hosted Weapons Wednesday on November 28, 2007, focusing on combat load preparation and firearm equipment. The show emphasized purchasing surplus military equipment while available, particularly magazine pouches and maintenance tools for AK and AR-15 platforms, noting that prices increase over time as supplies dwindle. Guest Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America discussed Second Amendment jurisprudence, the distinction between individual and collective rights, and recent court cases including the San Francisco handgun ban challenge, emphasizing the constitutional protection of the people's right to bear arms and the importance of the 9th and 10th Amendments in defending that right.
