I was looking for a new fresh topic and one sort of landed in my lap, a friend trotted out the old, “if you ask a cop if he is a cop, he has to tell the truth” line in a recent conversation and it led me to put this show together. Join me today as we discuss a variety of myths on everything from law enforcement to money and point out where they can get you into trouble or worse. I think that nothing is more powerful than knowledge but nothing is more dangerous that a false belief that you have enough faith in to base your choices on it.
Join me today as we tackle myths like…
- Law enforcement myths
- Asking are you a cop will require a cop to tell you the truth
- Threatening to “call your lawyer” will keep a cop at bay
- Officers must read you your rights when you are arrested
- Not telling police what you know is “obstruction of justice”
- You get one phone call from jail
- Money and Debt Myths
- Inflation always punishes savers
- The government is who creates our money
- There isn’t enough gold to allow a return to the gold standard
- If you are not happy with a mortgage you just “give the house back”
- Gun Myths
- The best way to increase range is increase velocity
- People shot with big guns are “blown backwards”
- Carrying a gun makes you 100% safe
- If a sign says you can’t bring your gun into anywhere you legally can’t
- “Military” guns, “Assault rifles”, are more powerful than “civilian sporting guns”
- A gun is only a “weapon” when used as such
- Survival and TEOTWAWKI Myths
- The best place to “survive” during TEOTWAWKI is in the wilderness
- TEOTWAWKI will be easy for the prepared, hell it might be fun
- As long as you have enough ammo and food you will be okay
- If you have a gun and know how to use it you can just take what you need from others
- The biggest threat we face is _____________.
