-Interview with Michael Letts from Invest USA
Q: Recently heard about a foiled terrorist plot at the Mall of America. What does that look like?

Straight Talk with Bill Frady 6/16/26 Full Show
Q: Is a 45 ACP a good starter pistol for the money?
Kendall Lemons explains that 9mm is the most popular carry caliber today due to lower recoil and affordability, while 45 ACP can be harder to shoot and is less favored for duty carry, with practical considerations likeAmmo cost and training frequency taking priority.
Straight Talk with Bill Frady 10/1/26 Hour 2-Eye on the Metro
Q: I got a question for you. With all the scenarios you described, how should a civilian act if they find themselves in a public shooting while waiting for law enforcement to arrive?
The guest emphasizes that civilians must prioritize training and de-escalation, communicate clearly to responders, and avoid taking reckless actions that could confuse officers or harm bystanders; understanding commands from law enforcement is crucial once they arrive.
Interview with Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride
Q: Now in Anderson, every time we have one of these shootings at like a shopping mall or something somewhere in the upstate, do you sit up and take notice and say, ha ha, well, what is it?
The Sheriff explains that each incident is unique and that while they monitor mall security and back up nearby agencies, the motivations vary; the key is staying vigilant and prepared for different scenarios rather than assuming a common cause.
Interview with Pickens County Sheriff Tommy Blankenship
Q: What are the biggest challenges when an armed individual is present in a crowd?
Distinguishing the armed suspect from civilians, ensuring clear communication with responders, and avoiding harm to innocents are the main challenges.
