Mark Koernke and Donald Betcher hosted an evening broadcast on Weapons Wednesday, November 12, 2008, discussing ammunition scarcity, preparedness, and militia readiness in response to the incoming Obama administration. They covered ammunition availability across retailers, a Texas militia field training exercise (FTX) scheduled for November 15th near Waco, stock market collapse (Dow Jones down 411 points, crude oil at $55.50/barrel), and retail closures including Walmart's discontinuation of hunting and sewing supplies. Callers from Texas and New York reported ammunition shortages, store closures, and the removal of essential items from shelves. The hosts emphasized acquiring cleaning kits, load-bearing equipment, and tactical gear while supplies lasted, and promoted gun shows and military outfitters in Michigan.
