🧩 Episode Summary

Edgar goes solo in this episode to clear up the Glock rumor mess spreading through YouTube and social media — while also challenging one of the most common self-defense myths: “something is better than nothing.”

He dives into misinformation, mindset, and market trends — breaking down what’s really going on with Glock, why poor training is more dangerous than no training, and how the firearms culture can (and must) reconnect with the next generation of gun owners.

07:00 – The Glock Rumors Explained
Edgar breaks down the viral Glock “discontinuation” claims and exposes how bad info spreads when influencers chase clicks.
✔️ Glock isn’t killing its lineup over Glock switches.
✔️ The discontinued models are old, low-demand variants.
✔️ Direct from Glock’s own site — no conspiracy, just business.

14:00 – “Something Is Better Than Nothing?”
Edgar revisits a classroom conversation about preparedness and challenges the cliché.
Using real examples — from church security footage to an open-carry incident in Las Vegas — he shows why “having something” can sometimes be worse than having nothing if you don’t know what you’re doing.

22:00 – Context Matters in Training
Gear ≠ Skill.
Without understanding context, all the drills, dot torture runs, and bill drills don’t mean much. Edgar explains why training without comprehension is dangerous, not empowering.

25:00 – Firearms Market Trends (Colorado & National)
Live data from CBI InstaCheck and NICS:

  • September 2025 transactions down from 2024
  • CHP applications slightly under 50,000 YTD
  • National gun sales down 5.7% year-over-year
    It’s not just Colorado — the slowdown is nationwide.

27:00 – The Generational Shift
Why Gen Z isn’t picking up the gun culture baton.
Edgar discusses how the 20-year-olds aren’t as engaged, why outreach matters, and how GFEN is trying to bridge that cultural gap before it’s too late.

33:00 – Knowledge, Context, and Skill Cycles
Training only works when you change context and evolve your skills.
Edgar explains the “skill development cycle” — learn, practice, evaluate, and re-apply — and warns against becoming a “certificate chaser.”
