I just discovered this podcast in June 2019, which is 4 years after the last episode of the show. Have listened to about 15 episodes so far and it’s really good! The host does a great job, very informative. Even though the show hasn’t been updated in years, the information is still relevant and...Read full review »

One of the best of the firearms radio network podcasts

Greg does a good job applying his personal experience and getting you to think. I don't think he has to know every thing to get you to think about how and why you carry.Read full review »

Great podcast for a citizen who practices the concealed carry lifestyle. California centric information in some cases, but helps us out in other areas of the country by letting us know what to look out for in our respective state legislatures. Also, the host is former law enforcement so you get...Read full review »

Love your show, Greg. Thanks for not being a gun snob.
Jpizzay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/15
I love the practical information that Greg gives out every week and the entertaining way in which he does so. If you’re looking for a lot of tough guy talk and false bravado, this is NOT the show for you. Greg is regular gun guy who shares a lot of great content. Keep on!

Even though I live in a free state, unlike Greg, I enjoy his show. He's informative and interesting.Read full review »

Eh.
I gave it a try, but he really doesn’t seem that knowledgeable. I think a lot of his knowledge comes from stuff he reads not from things he experienced or learned. It’s just not a podcast for me.

I listen to most of the firearm related Podcasts and this is one of my favorites!
KurtDude via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/15
I really enjoy this podcast. Greg is very informative and he has a great attitude. It is a pleasure to listen to someone with his expertise and experience without the “know it all” attitude. Greg brings practical, down to earth information to each show. Thanks Greg! Keep up the great work.

I started listening to the TP podcast thinking it would be about reviewing tactical gear, firearms, etc. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it drew me in and I have been hooked since episode 50 and look forward each week to hearing what Mr Bakken has to say about Current events and...Read full review »

Excellent podcast, I look forward to each new show.
2k4ranger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/14
I really look forward to this Podcast each week. His shows are usually thought provoking, without being abrasive. Truth be known, however, I mostly enjoy the way he manages to mangle the English language each week! I must laugh at least once each episode, keep up the good work Greg!

Greg, this is my favorite go to podcast, I like your format, and down to earth topics. Keep up the great work.
ejbeefranch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/14
this is one of my favorites on the firearms radio network. its an informative esy to understand show and greg bakken seems to be a sensible, logical and all around good person. only complaint is i wish he would have guests on the show maybe not every week but at lest once a month or so.
Zackally828 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/14

Greg is a good representative of the common sense outgoing concealed carry lifestyle

I am very picky on the podcasts that I listen to and TP made the list. Greg's past makes listening the the cast relevant and he has well thought out topics.Read full review »

When I’m not working as a full time dad and husband (father of three toddlers!), I’m employed as a Law Enforcement Officer in the Sacramento area. I hadn’t heard of the shooting at the Philadelphia mental health facility until I heard Greg mention it on this podcast. I frequent mental health...Read full review »
CA Law Abiding Citizen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/14
The best show on the Firearms Radio Network. Diverse show with interviews or sourced material and sometimes random thoughts from the host. Great length for a podcast, listen on the way to work and get a full show in. Keep up the great work.
Christopher in ATL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/14
Like most of the hosts of podcasts affiliated with the Firearms Radio Network, Greg Bakken is not the brightest bulb in the marquee. He seems not to know what he's talking about a good bit of the time, evidenced by how often he contradicts himself in the same sentence, expressing an opinion,...Read full review »
DogmaSux via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/14
I love this show. Greg Bakken knows his stuff. Good gear reviews, training tips, and discussion of real self-defense situations.
James&Jewell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/14
Great job Greg. I love the content and the interviews you have. If I have a complaint, is that your podcast are to short. Need to make them longer. Good luck to you and the podcast. Keep pumping them out
MR. STARG8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/14
Greg continues to bring great content to the show. I really appreciate the material focused on mindset, skills and tactics (and less on gear). It'd be great to hear more about outdoor life and preparedness.Read full review »
Ben Wagner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/14
Some of the show content is worth hearing, but he really needs to break out of his "comfortable slave" mentality. You'll hear good tips and information from the LE prospective, but also things like, "all you have to do is register your gun, no big deal" (in reference to some...Read full review »
Pigskin Hero via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/14
I love the show but you need to break out of California! All of this talk about CA laws is great but it does nothing for me over here on the Right Coast. I wonder if you could get someone from GOAL to come on and talk about Massachusetts? Or possibly Gun Owners of NH? Just a thought... ...Read full review »

From one shooter in occupied territory, California, to another, thanks for the good work and solid info. Keep it up.

For those getting into the concealed carry lifestyle and those experienced in it will find great content in this fun and fast paced variety type show.

Jim from Missouri via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/14
Great podcast with a good variety of material. I also love the shorter length of the shows compared to some of the others on the Firearms Radio Network. Easier to find time to listen to it and it does not drag on with dead space like some of the other podcasts can. Great job Greg!
ksnell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/14
This is by far the best podcast for gun enthusiast. Love the safety talk on weapons, and all the gear. More interviews with law enforcement please, love to hear their side of the badge.
Hoser72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/14
I already listen to Gun Guy Radio, This Week in Guns, and a few other of the Firearms Radio Network's shows, but decided to give this one a try. I'll give three stars for now because it says it talks about concealed carry stuff, and will up or down the rating when I get home from work...Read full review »
RandalllFlagg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/14
When I first reviewed this show I only gave it one star. At that time Greg sounded amateurish and was overly basic with all his topics. Greg has grown tremendously over time and now delivers solid information applicable to a broader audience. This show now ranks as one of my "must...Read full review »

mr.
This is one of my favorite podcasts! From all the great reviews to all the best info on, yes, everything tactical. It is so good that I am using my sons Itunes account to post a review, because even this show couldn't talk me in to an itunes account. Great show, keep up the great work.Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. You seem to study up on your topics well and try to make it informative. I like that you add a little heart into it also. Understand your struggle from a big guy because of a back injury. Thanks and keep it up

I love the show and am all for more gun related podcasts but I think this show's missing a huge opportunity. More and more it's tough to tell it apart from the other shows on the Firearms Radio Network. Instead of a show with current events stories/editorial and product reviews, I think...Read full review »

JimSuther69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/13
Greg, awesome show! You have the most attention-getting, descriptive yet concise (not to mention the best intro music) of any show on FRN. I wouldn't change a thing about it. You have a great amount of expertise and, although you may not always be an expert regarding the topic of a...Read full review »

This is a great show for those of us that want to learn about what to do and not to do when it comes to real life, guns and personal protection. Thanks for what you do.

Greg does a great job with his podcast. Always a good listen.
PGLUE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/13
This show and a few others are by far the best of their respective channels. You can use the info and topics in everyday life and apply without always needing to go somewhere else. Smart stuff
