Jon Caldara interviews Lt Col Robert Brown

[Zundfolge]

In the last few minutes he makes several blunt statements about our "favorite gun rights activist; Dudley".


If you don't know who either of these people are you need to edumacate yo self.

[Martinjmpr]

Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

[Doc45]

If you don't want to watch the whole thing Brown starts talking about the moron at 24:57

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...with friends like DB it's hard to imagine why you'd need other enemies.

[roberth]

Z - thanks for posting that up - I listened to the whole thing.

We all know what dudley is, I don't need to repeat anything.

[Zundfolge]

We all know what dudley is, I don't need to repeat anything.

Just to be clear the "these two people" I was referring to was Jon and Lt Col Brown (the Dudley comments were just an aside ... really the rest of the interview is worth watching).

[sroz]

Great interview. Also think he has DB pegged.

[asmo]

For those of you with a short attention span. There is more (like the part about Dudley working against gun owners), but this should be the important part:

He's in a race for the worlds greatest charlatan..... He's a charlatan, who takes peoples money just for his own satisfaction, edification, and does no good.... The guy shoots his mouth off, promises things, but does nothing.

[Ah Pook]

Are those patches earned or stolen valor?

I remember SoF as a kid but probably started picking it up at Iads Newsstand, in Boulder.

Pegs DB to a tee.

Interesting history.

[asmo]

Are those patches earned or stolen valor?

Brown served in the US Army from 1954-1957 and again from 1964-1985 he was a Green Beret who served with Special Forces in Vietnam and retired from the US Army as a lieutenant colonel. At one point, Brown was the Vice Chairman of the NRA.

Brown's qualifications in the area of military journalism/history include his former role as special agent of the Counter Intelligence Corps. Other accomplishments or activities include:
Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army Reserve, (Ret.)
OIC Advanced Marksmanship Unit XVIII Corps
Graduate Command and General Staff College
Military Parachutist (wings from U.S., El Salvador, Guatemala, Israel, Peru, Taiwan, Thailand)
Smuggled from Afghanistan 5,000 rounds 5.45mm Com Bloc ammunition to U.S. Government (first test sample of AK-74 ammunition in U.S.)


Many many years ago I had lunch with him up in Boulder - albeit somewhat unknowingly. A really good friend of mine had a relationship with Paladin Press, and invited me to have lunch with him and one of the folks who worked there. Turned out to be Brown - we ate pizza on Pearl street while mocking college hippies. Strange times.

I found him to be very interesting, reasonable, and pretty down to earth.
