Ep. 463 - Jeff Kirkham - The AK-47 Episode

The anticipated return of Jeff Kirkham and his nearly 30 years of service in the Army Special Forces to share his expertise on the Kalashnikov. First Jeff shares some thoughts on Jack's book "Murphy's Law" after just completing it, and the guys wrap about some topics included in the novel. Once "The AK-47" episode truly begins, Jeff shares how he became passionate about the gun, common misconceptions associated with the Kalashnikov, what guns are comparable to the AK, and why the manufacturing of this particular gun was able to spread throughout the world. Jeff also shares some personal stories of his usage with the weapon while serving our country and a funny story about a military mixup. Be sure to check out his latest book "The Last Air Force One," his website Readyman and follow Jeff on Instagram @Praetorian_Innovations. Jack and Dennis share their thoughts on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, how men like Jock Hutton were just greater men than we have today, and the pitfalls of social media and how it can corrupt your mindset. They also share how it's easy to get swept up in the clickbait and viral addictions we're faced with as a society today. Jack's daughter also makes a brief appearance on the podcast.
