Forge of Freedom Podcast: LEO Interactions Interview

I was honored to be invited onto the Forge of Freedom podcast, with host Alex Ooley to discuss a survey analyzing over 1,600 armed traffic stops and the insights gained from these interactions with law enforcement. In the interview we reference this research study I published a few weeks prior. Below I've embedded the audio podcast itself and at the very bottom of this page the video interview.

The conversation was friendly and took place during the 2025 NRA Annual Meetings in Atlanta. Alex and his father have a law practice in Indiana and are practicing firearm trainers.

Our conversation includes these topics:

Introduction to Concealed Carry and Law Enforcement InteractionsSurvey Insights: Understanding Traffic StopsKey Findings: Disarming Practices and Officer BehaviorThe Duty to Inform: State Requirements and MisconceptionsPerceptions of Law Enforcement and Traffic CitationsBest Practices for Concealed Carriers During Traffic StopsTraveling with a Concealed Weapon: State VariationsRecording Interactions: Legal Considerations and SafetyConclusion and Resources for Concealed Carriers
