Empty Brass is back after a hiatus, and on this episode CJ sits down with Jim Krantz. Jim is a young and talented shooter from Minnesota. The guys got a chance to link up in Wyoming right before the travel bans went into effect. Jim is a member of Mac Defense, and will be shooting a mac glock this year in carry optics. Jim has already made it to master class in Carry Optics, and he's just getting started. The guys discuss all the usual equipment and politics in the firearms community. The time this episode was recorded was at the very beginning of the travel ban when much was still unknown. We are in a different place now with coronavirus then when this episode was recorded. Jim is an awesome example of how men should represent themselves in the gun industry, and he will accomplish anything he wants to going forward. Make sure you check out Jim's Instagram account along with Mac Defense and Atlas gunworks.

Host CJ Boxrud noticed something about the conversation around firearms: it’s often squeezed into sixty-second Instagram clips, leaving little room for nuance or depth. EMPTY BRASS was created to change that, offering a dedicated space for the community to engage in the longer discussions that matter. This podcast moves beyond the soundbites, providing a platform where certified instructors can break down complex topics for newcomers in clear, accessible detail. At the same time, seasoned shooters and enthusiasts will find value in hearing extended conversations with veterans, law enforcement professionals, and other voices from within the Second Amendment community. Each episode aims to foster a more informed dialogue, covering practical skills, current events, and the broader cultural and political landscape that surrounds responsible firearm ownership. By focusing on substance over snippets, EMPTY BRASS serves as a resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding, whether they’re just starting out or have years of experience. It’s a direct response to the need for a thoughtful, long-form audio destination in a landscape often dominated by fleeting social media posts. Tune in for straightforward talk, free from the usual online noise.
