Ep. 196 – Tactical Twins: Election Aftermath, 2A Wins, Training Plans & $20 Food Prep

vendredi 6 novembre 2026 • Durée 01:05:52

Eric is joined by his brother and tactical twin Aaron Davis. They cover the midterm results and their impact on the Second Amendment, personal training updates, and practical preparedness.

Election & Second Amendment

The brothers note the midterm outcome (roughly 54–44 in the Senate) and reiterate that politics cannot be separated from self-defense and the 2A. They highlight ongoing wins under the current administration, including the DOJ amicus brief supporting the pro-2A side in cases such as Vermontes v. Cook County. Oral arguments on assault weapons bans are set for December 2. They credit the conservative Supreme Court majority (shaped by prior Trump appointments) for Heller and Bruen, and view a favorable ruling as one of the biggest 2A wins in years.

On the economy they compare current GDP (~3.4% Q3 annualized), unemployment (~4.2%), and CPI (~3.7% / core ~2.6%) to the prior administration, while noting voter focus on gas and grocery prices. They discuss tariffs as short-term pain for potential long-term gain and Iran policy as a driver of energy costs. Looking ahead they point to Trump’s veto power, judicial nominations, and longer-term risks such as a filibuster nuclear option or court-packing.

Training Updates

Aaron has maintained near-daily dry fire since the Mark Smith (JBS) episode. He has shot several Galactic Pistol Alliance (GPA) matches, improving from mid-silver to gold percentages, and is shooting his Boresight Solutions 19 better than a more tricked-out 17 in some cases.

Eric is still rehabbing a calf injury. After closing on a second property he plans the Combatives Summit 2027 (Arizona), Mark Smith’s precision gas-gun course, a Ben Stoeger pistol class, regular competition, and a push toward his jiu-jitsu brown belt.

Preparedness

In light of the political environment, Eric plans to increase gold/silver holdings, acquire strip lowers, scout rifles, lever guns (.357/.44 and .45-70), and build a dedicated ammo reserve.

They discuss Justin Carroll’s article “Food Preparedness on a $20 Paycheck”: https://www.swiftsilentdeadly.com/blog/food-preparedness-on-20-a-paycheck

Over four ~$20 Walmart trips (~$80 total) he built a shelf-stable stash (water, rice, peanut butter, tuna, pasta, beans, etc.) totaling ~72,500 calories—roughly 25–30 days for one adult at 2,500 calories/day—while assuming a way to boil water. This is far cheaper than equivalent freeze-dried buckets. The takeaway: start small and consistent rather than aiming for perfection.

Other Notes

They also touch on ongoing music projects (including new bumper music) and AI tools that are helping Eric manage production so he can focus more on guests.

Listeners who want to skip the political discussion can jump ahead using Spotify chapters once published.

Saison 7 · Épisode 195

mardi 27 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:31:59

Eric is joined by longtime friend and colleague Jeremy Brast of Chapter 2 Solutions.

ATF / NFA update (open letter dated ~October 9, 2026): Following the tax reduction to $0 on certain NFA items under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and related litigation, ATF is exercising enforcement discretion and will no longer require approval or registration for short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and any other weapons. Strong caveats on state and local law (including North Carolina and Georgia).

Ep. 194 - Justin “Danger” Carroll & Molly Johnson – GORUCK, Hard Things, and Real-World Competence

Saison 7 · Épisode 194

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:45:48

Eric brings Justin “Danger” Carroll back on, this time with Molly Johnson. Justin is a Marine vet, deputy, part-time paramedic, volunteer SAR tech, and author of Competent and Dangerous.

Justin “Danger” Carroll - Silent Swift Deadly Blog - ⁠https://www.swiftsilentdeadly.com/⁠

Molly is a paramedic (about five years), EMS for seven, and an Orangetheory coach.

The conversation is about doing hard things on purpose—not talking about mindset, but building it.

What they cover:

What a GORUCK Tough actually is: rucksack (20- or 30-lb plate), “coupons” (sandbags, water, fire hose, beer cooler), 12 hours of team suffering
Molly’s first event: 70 burpees before they even started, then a 3.5-hour PT block on a Merrill’s Marauders theme
Team dynamics— how fast a group either comes together or doesn’t
Why the finish-line beer is the best beer you’ll ever drink
EMS/LE reality: compartmentalizing trauma, “feel-bad movies” as a pressure valve, and a pediatric arrest that turned into a later apology and hug with a civilian
Helene response: water rescue, paper charts, downed comms, and why a simple AM/FM radio still matters when cell service is gone

Eric also talks about committing on air to a future GORUCK with them.

Ep. 193 - Cognitive Conclave 2026 with John Hearne, Lee Weems & Erick Gelhaus

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:24:37

This episode we talk about the up coming Cognitive Conclave 2026 with John Hearne, Lee Weems & Erick Gelhaus

Get Registered: https://twopillarstraining.com/conclave/

Eric sits down with the Rangemaster “Chess Club”—John Hearne (Two Pillars Training), Lee Weems (First Person Safety), and Erick Gelhaus (Cougar Mountain Solutions)—to talk about the missing piece in most firearms training: thinking with a gun in your hand, which is the focus of the Cognitive Conclave course.

They remember John Holschen, then get into why typical range work often looks more like “firing squad training” than real problem-solving. Decisions get stripped out of the drill. Then people are shocked when those skills don’t transfer.

Main points from the conversation:

John’s “doorbell assignment” analogy — most training tells you exactly what to shoot, when, and how many times
Lee on Claude Werner’s line that a lot of instruction is just firing-squad work, and why the four safety rules have to live inside the course of fire
Erick on Scotty Reitz’s “blue tape / judgmental prez” drill, visual processing vs. audio cues, Neuros, and Mirage targets
Force-on-force is still the gold standard for complex decisions, but logistics limit reps. Cognitive-load live fire gives far more decision cycles in a day
Technical skill still matters. Multiple sources (including Adam Biggs’ research, plus high-level shooters like Frank Proctor and Matt Little) point to about USPSA B-class as the point of diminishing returns — after that, thinking and tactics matter more than chasing the next classification
This work is a supplement to force-on-force, not a replacement

Cognitive Conclave 2026: October 24–25

Coming up from the guests:

Lee – Rangemaster reunion in December, TACCON presentation work, Enhanced Coaching Skills
Erick – Low-light pistol (Meridian, ID), shotgun (Piru, CA), Problem Solving Pistol at Mead Hall (OK), Red Dot Instructor (New Orleans area)

Ep. 192 - Justin "Danger" Carroll - Competent & Dangerous

Saison 7 · Épisode 192

jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 01:42:08

In this episode of the EvoSec Podcast, Eric sits down with Justin “Danger” Carroll, a long-time friend of the American Warrior Society crew and someone Eric has wanted on the show for years.

Justin shares his path from a small Southern Appalachian town through eight years in the Marine Corps, overseas contracting, instructing at the Marine Special Operations Schoolhouse, writing books on digital privacy, becoming a paramedic, and now serving as a full-time deputy sheriff while still teaching EMS and law enforcement academies.

Justin's awesome blog: https://www.swiftsilentdeadly.com/

The conversation centers on his excellent book Competent and Dangerous: Master the Skills to be a Man Among Men. the guide he wished he’d had as a 16-year-old. Topics covered include:

Building real-world competence across fitness, mindset, EDC, finances, vehicle readiness, medical skills, digital security, physical security, wilderness skills, and social/people skills
Why general competence matters more than hyper-specialization
Practical first-aid and CPR lessons (including personal experiences)
Firearms recommendations for everyday people (compact 9mm options, AR platforms like BCM, and strong advocacy for the shotgun)
The value of continuous learning and putting yourself in environments that force growth

A practical, no-nonsense discussion about becoming more capable in the real world. Highly recommended listening, and definitely pick up Justin’s book.

Saison 7 · Épisode 191

vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 01:03:02
