The Wasted Ammo Podcast is a talk show co-hosted by two broke gun enthusiasts that explores a variety of firearm and preparedness related topics that can range from guns, gear, training, personal defense, and improving skill-sets. We sit down in front of the mic every week, grab a few beers, and hit the record button. So join us every Monday and Friday for a fun conversation about a hobby that we love.
Today on the Wasted Ammo Podcast we continue our recent string of survivalism based topics by covering an article that claims 70-90% of the population would be dead within 3 months after an EMP attack. EMP or electromagnetic pulse is one way in which a terrorist group could effectively deliver a deadly blow to the United States since all our major infrastructure is dependent on electricity for it to work. Why is an EMP so deadly? Why are people unprepared for a world without electricity? What can we expect to happen if we are hit with an EMP? Let's find out!

Today on the Wasted Ammo podcast we talk all about our experience and lessons learned from our bug out simulation. The original plan was to hike the full 33-mile route from Steve's house to the bug out location but we were advised against this by the community (rightfully so) so we split the simulation in half for our first go. We ended up rucking for about 17 miles and while it was hard, it was also done in ideal conditions - no family, no threats, no extra weight from tactical gear and the weather was perfect at 74 degrees and sunny. After this experience, we definitely have a greater appreciation for just how much bugging-out would suck in an SHTF scenario and hopefully this knowledge helps us make the right choice if the time comes. Enjoy!

Monday is Memorial Day and what better way to honor our fallen soldiers than to share a speech of service, sacrifice, and God from a better man than us - Lt.Gen. (Ret.) W.G. Boykin. Boykin was one of the elite warriors chosen in 1978 to make up the first unit in America's ultra-secretive and deadly Delta Force. He then became commander of the unit, and later still, commander of all U.S. Army Special Forces. His thirty-six years in the military included a tour at the Central Intelligence Agency and clandestine missions around the world. Jerry retired in 2007, serving his last four years as the deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence. Enjoy!

Today on the Wasted Ammo Podcast we Zero-In on the Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms Illinois FFL carve-out fiasco. Last week, the Illinois State Senate passed bill SB-1657 by a one-vote margin. While the bill will now move on to the House, if signed by Governor the new law will mandate state licensing for all Illinois gun dealers. The lobbyist for the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association (IFMA), Jay Keller, traded that group’s opposition to the bill in exchange for a carve-out, removing large firearm manufacturers from the licensing requirements. Now the question is, just how much did Springfield and Rock River know? Either way, this move was a huge FU to the 2A, the gun community, and liberty as a whole. We shall see what happens next and if these companies can save face and regain the trust of gun owners as they move forward. Enjoy!
