Rich Bennett / Sheriff Jeff Gahler / Colonel Bill Davis / Doug Buranen / Dan Jahn

In this episode, Rich has a conversation with Sheriff Jeff Gahler, Colonel Bill Davis, Doug Buranen, and Dan Jahn.

 Sheriff Jeff Gahler and Colonel Bill Davis are with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and Doug Buranen, Gun Smith and Dan Jahn. In this episode, our guests delved into the pressing issue of ghost guns and how they are contributing to the alarming increase of illegal firearms in the hands of criminals. They explored the possibility of controlling the mechanism through an FFL dealer to curb the problem. The conversation also touched on the need to prioritize criminals over the guns themselves and how mental health can influence gun violence.

The recent manhunt in their county was also discussed, and our guests emphasized the importance of investing in law enforcement training and equipment. They shared insights on how modern tools and resources such as night vision, armored vehicles, and drone footage can help resolve such crises quickly and peacefully, without putting innocent lives in danger.

If you're interested in understanding the complexities surrounding gun violence and how we can tackle this problem effectively, this episode is a must-listen. Our guests' extensive experience in law enforcement and politics offers valuable insights and practical solutions that can help make our communities safer.
