In this episode of Locked, Cocked & Unfiltered, we sit down with none other than Yehuda Remer, better known as the Pew Pew Jew. We dive into his journey from everyday gun owner to one of the most recognizable voices in the Second Amendment community, discussing what inspired him to become an advocate for gun rights and the importance of educating both adults and children about fi****ms.

We also talk about Yehuda's growing collection of books, including his efforts to introduce younger generations to firearm safety, freedom, and personal responsibility through engaging and accessible stories. From writing children's books to speaking out on Second Amendment issues, Yehuda shares the experiences that have shaped his mission and message.

Of course, no Locked, Cocked & Unfiltered episode would be complete without some laughs. The conversation takes a hilarious turn when Yehuda pitches his dream collaboration with Hi-Point Fi****ms: an official Pew Pew Jew handgun available in two versions—a threaded-barrel model dubbed the "Uncircumcised" and a standard-barrel version called the "Circumcised." Whether this idea is marketing genius or completely ridiculous is up to you to decide.

New Podcast Episode

Episode 27 | The Hero Media Ignored, Active Shooter Responsibility & G***k’s New 15-Round G48 Mags

In Episode 27 of Locked, Cocked, & Unfiltered, we break down the recent incident in Cambridge, Massachusetts where a Marine veteran and a state trooper helped stop what could have turned into a mass casualty event—and why major media outlets barely seem to be talking about it. We discuss what happened, the importance of prepared citizens, and why stories like this matter.

We also dive into the reality of personal responsibility during active shooter and self-defense situations. What should armed citizens actually do? What are the legal, tactical, and moral considerations when chaos unfolds around you? We talk mindset, training, and why carrying a firearm alone is not enough without preparation and accountability.

Finally, we get into G***k’s new factory 15-round magazines for the G***k 48 and whether this changes the game entirely. Does the G***k 48 now make the G***k 19 obsolete for concealed carry? We compare size, capacity, shootability, and practical carry considerations from real-world experience—not internet hype.

New Blog Post
What Instructors CAN (and CAN’T) See & Do with SC CWP

Recent changes to South Carolina’s concealed weapon permit application system have created a wave of questions from students and permit holders alike. The process for new applications, renewals, and replacements has shifted to a more centralized online system, requiring users to create an account and navigate updated procedures through the state’s portal. While the system has been streamlined in some ways, many users who were familiar with the previous setup have found the transition confusing and, at times, frustrating. These changes also came with limited communication, leaving both instructors and applicants to adapt quickly as updates rolled out.

Spots are limited, so if you’ve been thinking about it, now is the time to lock it in because spots are filling up.

On top of that, we’ve got a full lineup of training opportunities coming up at South Carolina Gun School. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your skills, we’ve got something for you. Be sure to check out the schedule and get signed up for a class that fits your goals.

FFP vs SFP Rifle Optics

What’s up everybody, one of the questions that comes up all the time when people start getting into LPVOs and rifle optics is whether they should go with a First Focal Plane (FFP) or Second Focal Plane (SFP) optic. Like most things in the fi****ms world, there’s no perfect answer for everyone. It really comes down to how you actually use your rifle, and what you like with what works for you personally. For me, after spending a lot of time running my Tactical Life pin and weld 13.9 rifle, I’ve found that the Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24 LPVO hits a sweet spot that works extremely well for my needs.
