I’ve been told by many people for decades that I only carry because I’m paranoid, even after I relate to them the reason why I do they still can’t relate. It’s refreshing to know there is someone with a national voice and people who listen who understand why, as professor Paul says, you need to be dangerous on demand. I will not tell the whole story behind it but once you have been targeted, attacked, and left for dead by a gang of criminal pond scum. You learn to never be disarmed again, at least once you are able to learn again. I’m hoping to be able to clear my schedule and make it to one or two of the marshal classes this summer. I’m currently signed up for the high elevation rifle course and I’m chomping at the bit waiting for August. R.T.F.O fellow students of the gun.

During the August 9, 2023 show, episode 1201, Paul had his Sandra Fluke moment. His outrageous personal attacks on a female certainly reminded me of Rush Limbaugh’s attacks on Sandra Fluke back in 2012. I will not be listening to the show ever again.

Paul, Zach and Jarred speak the truth. Whether you want to hear it or not, our country is in deep crap. If you want to be able to distinguish between the crap and the good give SOTG a listen I don’t believe that you will regret it! -Rob Smith

Can’t get enough,I could listen to the professor all day.

Great show. I look forward to every new episode. Legacy Media is Dead! Podcasts are the only way to get news and info nowadays.

Way too much self promotion of marginal products (Hi-Point firearms, RATS TQ, etc.) Poorly planned and question the preparation of the hosts. Oh and the whole Nicholas Orr thing was figured out right from the start (it's Paul.)

As a female who loves firearms..this podcast is always at the top of my listening list. Professor Paul, Jarrad and Zach put an obvious amount of effort into each podcast. As a new gun owner you will walk away from each podcast with a piece of knowledge from those with years of experience. Listen. Learn. Forever be a #studentofthegun.

Nobody wants a junk weapon.

This is such a lovely educational program.

Professor Paul for ATF Director! Or is it AFT? Anyways, I’ve been a “Student” for around 7 years and will be one as long as the Markel family keeps teaching.

One of the wisest men to do a podcast. Nothing but truth brother!!!! America needs another slap from the pimp hand of America!!!! I look forward to each and every podcast you are on and produce.

I agree AN PRC 77 with Vincent added a lot of weight to my ruck when I was with A Co 6 EN BN, 6 th ID Arctic Light back in the 80’s. I also saw the sand with you during Desert Storm I was with the 24th ID then. I listen to Dan Bongino on Podcast and next month he will be taking over the Rush Limbaugh show. He is also on Rumble and bashes Facebook, Twitter, etc for their communist ways!

Just found the podcast and am really enjoying it. Keep up the good work!

Unsubscribed about 1 yr. ago. Tried it again, because I really like Markle. He’s great on AAR. I just can’t handle his sales podcast. Sorry Mr. Markle.

Was excited for the potential to have another firearm podcast to listen to. However, this is really just a platform to spew ignorant, frankly stupid and hateful rhetoric towards anybody who isn’t a radical right-winger. Focus on the guns please and leave the stupid political opinions out!!

So much potential- some decent advice lightly sprinkled in amongst the baseless political nonsense. Other choices out there more worthy of your time.

If you want to listen to the truth about history and what is going on in America, this is your podcast!!! Professor Paul covers current day events, and how to help be a proactive person in society. He gives great examples and advice on how things are playing out in this crazy time we are going through currently. His knowledge of American history always amazes me. If you want to challenge your mind and learn at the same time SOTG- IS the show for you. Keep up the great work guys!!

I love Dan Bongino, but his coverage of the debates saddens me, I understand trying to take lemons and making it lemonade but giving me a tere and calling it chocolate is insulting to your listeners intelligence.

Paul is entertaining and informative. He doesn’t pull punches and calls it like he sees it. One of the best 2A podcasts around.

I’ve been listening to gun related podcasts for well over ten years. I just found SOTG about a month ago. I can’t believe I didn’t find out about this awesome podcast before. Excellent insights into everything that matters! Thank you very much!

Paul is on point topical, informative, and a smart dude. This is the BEST produced gun show PERIOD! Sound quality is top notch. I’ve been able to obtain worthwhile discounts with their sponsors. Win Win !

50 minutes long, 5 minutes of applicable information. There are better, less grumpy, and less judgmental gun podcasters available.

There's good stuff here and I like Professor Paul's attitude and philosophy, but the ratio of self-promotion and commercials to actual content is way off. In an hour-long episode, it feels like you're lucky to get 15 minutes of actual content. The rest is self-promotion for events, books and products or commercials for their sponsors. If the ratio were reversed, I'd be giving Student of the Gun five stars.

Always enjoy these episodes and the work Paul and the boys are doing. Educate yourself and listen louder to Student of the Gun!

I have listened since show #1. The show is heavy on Paul pushing his sponsors. Which is fine, except it fills more time than needed. Also, Paul asserts his full 2A support and republican views. Paul will never point out how republicans have colluded to undermine the 2A. All in all if you want to sit through rambling first-person ads, and politically motivated excuses, there are some nuggets of value.

SOTG team is absolutely worth your time listening to. I have been out of touch with their podcast for a while and fortunately listened a couple of days ago. It was an ah hah moment for me. I realized what I had been missing. Now if you want my reasons why I see it as so valuable read on. This truly is a knowledge source worth more stars than iTunes allows. If they even let me have a review this long. I don’t usually do this. Get this App and you will not be sorry, period. Whether you are a newbie to firearms or a long time owner. Paul and his family are a tour de force on a variety of levels. Equipment, safety, operation, law, reviews, technology, circle of contacts, reading, trade show info, training, perseverance, humor, and for being prepared. If you want more I can also tell you that Paul is a treasure trove of history and witty storytelling. He loves reading and it is obvious. One does not come to a command of competence in any area without being well read. Paul is almost a human encyclopedia surrounding guns and American history. Want more? The Markel’s understand true prepping. If there’s anything you should take away from this current situation our Country is in it’s BEING PREPARED. Mentally most of all. More? If you are appalled at what is happening politically to the Untied States of America then this App will arm you with information that will help us keep our Republic. I do not want to see my Country become a Communist Socialist regime as the radical side in our Congress support. Paul will help you understand our Founding history, the Constitution's merits along with the oh so importance of the 2nd Amendment. You decide if you want to understand. More still? I am not a social media person. SOTG uses many platforms I am not in touch with but as I understand that world they will give you access to any or all of those mediums, you can pick which you prefer. There’s even a community to interact with of fellow Patriots. I simply listen to the podcast and garner much. Those of you into the medley of available media will have even more ways to appreciate this family team. Last: If you have Faith you will find a wonderful way to complete your overall experience. Ok. This is the very last. If you love irreverent …. you will not be disappointed. WUA in Oregon

Great pod. Paul and crew dish out some real and practical advice - and keep it entertaining!

Another entraining and informative show. Thank you for all you do. Paul I am glad you are doing better..

The most important thing you can do to better yourself is read your bible, the next is to listen to Paul!

First heard Paul on the AAR Podcast, enjoy his honesty and hard no BS view. Also enjoy hearing his sons input. Picked up a couple of his books, excellent reads and reference. I look forward to hearing new episodes all the time. LJH

Must have for current climate!

Prof Paul tells you the truth you need to hear, whether you like it or not. Seriously though If you don’t learn from this podcast then your not listening, and you need to fix yourself.

Been listening to Student is the guns for a long time. They still manage to teach me new things all the time. Prof Paul is great. Thank You Jared

Love Paul, family, and friends.

I prefer the history lessons Paul gives, especially showing the way they change history. So much I buy old hostory text books now just to see the difference between what they teach now and what they used to teach. I actually have a textbook from the 1930's. No comment, my kids didn't learn history, I've tried to educate them but the school system and their mother both faught against me every step of the way. I failed. But this show gives me hope that I am not alone. Here's to Like Minded Individuals everywhere

Paul is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to as he educates the listeners on freedom and common sense.

But not great! Needs work

They are always wanting to sell you an upgrade

Title says it all. My all time favorite podcast. I love the attitude and full steam ahead mentality. Keep up the awesome show guys and if you ever have an opening on the show for a new host, give me a shout!

Thanks Paul

Excellent source of information mixed with humor! I highly recommend this show to EVERYONE, not just “gun guys” or “girls”...Great source of EDUCATION!!

Episodes 862-864, compiling the Morning Mindset episodes on the leadership - are among the best and most generally useful material Paul and crew have put out. Professor Paul makes you think, and gives you good food for thought. I've taken much of his advice to heart in my day to day action.

Part of my must listen list. Always good information presented with wit and humor. Not for the easily offended.

One big commercial for silencer shop with a bit of gun advice thrown in with the host talking in a goofy voice to contradict his statement and make a point in between other various plugs, I listened to episode 813 Baby it’s cold outside and 38 minutes into a 46 minute podcast he finally gets to the topic in the title.

Hey I just listened to show 820 and heard you guys talkin about medieval armored combat in Aus. Heads up, it's been around here in the states, now worldwide, since the 70's. It's called the SCA. Armored combat. blunted weapons. a hit is required to have the force needed for a sword to penetrate chain armor. So no light hitting. And yes, it can hurt. A lot. But, it is great fun. And the Mass Melee at the Pennsic War near Butler, Pa is truly breathtaking. Keep up the great work guys!

The “professor” just likes to hear himself talk. Definitely better podcasts out there

Refreshing truth spoken here!!

I thought it was going to be a podcast about guns. Unfortunately it’s just a boomer running adds and trying to explain current politics by just ranting. I would be okay with listening to hear him talk if the podcast was called my political opinion.

Paul is the man: Fellow jarhead, student of history and he'll bang. I know he loves his sons but they add NOTHING. I've been listening for years and I just can't these days because the BS meter is past my tolerance level. Paul needs to do his own thing and waaay less plugging. Love them nonetheless. Semper Fi

The only thing I don’t like about the show is how commercial it is. It seems to be set up to make money. But this is America, and I live in California so I know my opinion won’t mean anything anyway. (Probably true, they spread the cool-aid around “liberally” out here, it is hard not get some in your mouth once in a while. But please keep up the great work Paul and all.
