OnTarget

OnTarget is a firearms and Second Amendment program with the feel of a packed Saturday room at L.E.P.D. Firearms, Range & Training Facility. Eric anchors the hour, usually with familiar voices nearby and a live studio audience close enough to become part of the rhythm. The show is at its best when practical details and political heat sit side by side. One episode may cover new guns and optics. Another may walk through less-lethal self-defense products and when force may or may not be justified. A third may turn a power outage into a serious discussion of flashlights, lumens, candela, and preparedness. The recurring promise is safe, responsible firearm ownership, but the path there is rarely dry. There is banter about weather, recycling, crowded rooms, raffles, Glock Days, and Dad parking cars. Then the tone can shift fast. OnTarget spends significant time on judges, law enforcement, criminal sentencing, protests, Columbus public-safety stories, and gun-rights advocacy. The political language is pointed and often angry, especially when the conversation turns to violent crime or the justice system. That edge is part of the show's identity. It is not designed for listeners seeking detached policy analysis or broad consensus. It is made for people already invested in firearms culture who want range-floor knowledge, product awareness, and Second Amendment argument in the same hour. The historical gear segments add another lane, with items like the Hamilton Model 27 and Red Ryder BB gun history giving the show a collector's curiosity. Guests and callers appear, including a sheriff and Cam Edwards calling in, but the durable center is the regular room at L.E.P.D. OnTarget distinguishes itself through proximity: it sounds like a firearms business, training facility, local audience, and law-enforcement perspective all sharing the same microphone.
