Post-SHOT Show & Minneapolis Unrest
This week on ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we’re blending the chaos of the streets with the latest from the firearm industry. First up: the fallout from Minneapolis — following two controversial officer-involved shootings by federal immigration agents, including the fatal January 24 shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti — the city has erupted in protests and heated clashes. Pretti’s death, coming just weeks after the January 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent during an expansive federal immigration operation, has amplified calls for accountability, intensified civil unrest, and driven new operational guidance for ICE officers in the state. We’ll break d...

Tyranny Doesn’t Announce Itself: Iran, Civil Chaos, and Why the Second Amendment Matters
The escalating unrest in Iran is a stark reminder of what happens when a government no longer serves its people—and the people have no meaningful way to resist it. As protests intensify and the state responds with force, the imbalance of power becomes painfully clear: an armed government versus a disarmed population.In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we examine why the Second Amendment is not an abstract political talking point, but a historical safeguard against tyranny. We discuss how authoritarian governments consolidate power, suppress dissent, and maintain control when citizens lack the means to de...

One Hour, One Bag, and You’re Never Coming Home
The movie Greenland wasn’t just a disaster film—it was a stress test for modern preparedness. With the next Greenland movie set to release soon, we break down what the franchise gets right, what it glosses over, and why the core question matters more than ever: If you had one hour to leave and you’re never coming home, what are you taking—and where are you going?In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we dig into the concept of the I.N.C.H. bag (I’m Never Coming Home) through the lens of real-world...

Minnesota in the Crosshairs: Power, Corruption, and Consequences
n this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we break down the growing unrest surrounding current events in Minnesota and why they matter far beyond state lines. From the governor’s decision not to seek re-election to mounting questions around fraud implications within government systems, the political landscape is shifting—and fast.We also address the officer-involved shooting connected to ICE activity and the public response that followed. What information is being released, what’s being withheld, and how narratives form before facts are fully established. This isn’t about partisan talking points—it’s about accountability, transparency, and understa...

Nobody Is Coming to Save You: Gun-Free Zones, Global Violence, and the Illusion of Safety
In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we break down the latest wave of violence making headlines—from a shooting in Australia to a gun-free-zone incident at Brown University—and ask the uncomfortable questions no one in power seems willing to answer.Every time these events happen, the same talking points get recycled: more laws, more restrictions, more promises that this time it will make a difference. But criminals don’t follow laws. They don’t respect signs. And they certainly don’t care about “gun-free zones.”This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about reality. The h...

Same Fight, New Gun: How In-Fighting Is Holding the Firearms Community Back
In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we take a hard look at an uncomfortable truth: the firearms and Second Amendment community often does more damage to itself than any outside opposition ever could.Instead of focusing on unity, education, and protecting our shared rights, too many voices in the space are locked in endless, petty battles—arguing over brand loyalty, tearing down new firearm models, and attacking each other over preferences that ultimately do not matter. Polymer versus metal. Striker versus hammer. This release versus that release. The cycle never ends, and progress never begins....

The Truth About SIG
A few weeks back SIG made a social media post that was either a giant mistake or a stroke of genius. They decided to make a statement that is so absolute that it even made people like me take a step back on their message.
