Han Shot First – 164
It’s Star Wars week, so we nerd out a little on this episode and talk about the infamous scene in Star Wars: A New Hope where Han Solo shoots Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. We’re fans of the original movie, not that ruined remastered garbage that came out in the 90’s.

The Urban Carry Holster – 163
You’ve probably seen the videos online for the Urban Carry holster. It’s the little pouch holster that you put your gun in, and then it all drops inside your pants. When it’s time to draw the pistol, you undo a little magnetic flap with your weak hand, and pull up, which pulls the pistol up where you can grab it with your strong hand.
