This is the Concealed Carry podcast, season 9, episode 15.

And welcome to the Concealed Carry podcast, part of the concealed carry.com network of shows,

brought to you by guns.com.

Today, I am pleased to have with me a special guest on the show.

His name is Rodrigo or Rod Cortez.

And we're going to introduce him more formally here momentarily. But Rod, hello. Welcome.

Glad to have you. Hey, Riley. Very nice to be here. Absolutely. I'm thrilled about this. So we'll talk

some more about Rod and with Rod in a moment. Today's episode, so you know, is sponsored brought to you by

guns.com, our title sponsor. They are

especially sponsoring this episode today. And also CCW Safe. CcW Safe.com is their website.

I think guns.com is pretty self-explanatory. But if you're looking for CCW Safe, the best concealed carry insurance type program, self-defense coverage.

Check out CCWSAfe.com.

That's what we use.

That's what we prefer.

And I'll have some brief sponsor messages sprinkled hopefully throughout the episode.

We'll probably get distracted, I think, by some very excellent discussion today with Rod.

But I'll do my best to come back and do some mid-roll reads of those sponsorships here momentarily,

which we appreciate.

And I appreciate every one of you listeners being patient every time we do anything sponsor-related

because without their support,

it would be a heck a lot harder to do this out of the goodness of my heart.

I'd probably still do it, but it's nice that we have sponsors.
