IFC Warrior Wednesday EP100 – NRA CEO & EVP Doug Hamlin

IFC Warrior Wednesday EP100 – NRA CEO & EVP Doug Hamlin

Doug Hamlin joins IFC today for our 100th Warrior Wednesday Episode. WOOT! The NRA CEO and EVP came to lead NRA forward after a lifetime of hard work, honor and service, but don’t expect this humble, down-to-earth leader to tell you so himself. “I’m a Midwesterner at heart. I’m from the great state of Michigan,” he said. “At a young age, I had high hopes to be a U.S. Marine, and I was fortunate to get that opportunity. I served on active duty for six years as an infantry officer, and I also was on recruiting duty.”

Of course, there’s no such thing as a “retired” Marine, but once Hamlin’s active duty had come to a close, he chose to serve America in a new way: Championing the American tradition of firearms ownership and gun safety for Petersen Publishing Company, which houses such titles as Guns & Ammo and MotorTrend. It was only natural that his star would one day rise over the National Rifle Association.

Hamlin’s star shines not for self-glorification, but only as a navigation point, like the North Star. The destination: home. “We want you to go to NRA.org, join, get your friends to renew their memberships, donate to our organization, learn about the programs that are available, and support the organization,” said Hamlin.

“We need you to come home. We need you now more than ever before.”

IFC Warrior Wednesday EP98 – Scott Volquartsen

From Volquartsen:  We believe that no one needs another standard anything. As second generation Volquartsens, we’re programmed to hold ourselves to a higher standard. To tenaciously push forward with an unwavering persistence.

In short, that’s how Dad did it.

In spite of the odds, he built a legacy in one lifetime. Dad founded the company in 1974 from the basement of a rented house with a goal of improving the look and performance of the firearms that were brought to him. Whether he was rebluing a shotgun, refinishing an old hunting rifle, or improving the trigger on a bullseye pistol.

IFC Warrior Wednesday EP97 – Iowa Rep Daniel Gosa (D) HD81 – Representative Gosa joins IFC today and clues us into effective advocacy, his 2A commitment, and more.  This conversation was illuminating and might surprise you.  Tune in!

From his SITE:

“Iowa is not the same state it was ten years ago. Politicians in Des Moines have lost sight of what’s important to the people of Davenport. Here is what’s most important to me: my wife and kids, my loved ones, and my community. I am running for the Iowa House because I’m sick of politics as usual. I’ll work together with anyone to make Davenport a place my children will be proud to call home. I am determined to fight like hell for our state and our Iowa values.” – Dan Gosa
