Mike Foley is the president of the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). He was elected a year ago and since then the membership has gone up and he has introduced a new division, Pistol Caliber Carbine, into competition. Mike has also taken on several major issues including having a Spring Nationals (the Optic Nationals going on the weekend of 3/25/17) and possible explosion from the International Pistol Shooting Confederation (IPSC) which governs the 2017 World Shoot in France. Mike has a background in competitive shooting and worked for a company that sold shooting related products for many years. Mike talks about how to get new shooters into the sport, how to keep and maintain a solid Ladies division and will US competitors be arrested in France if they show up with their firearms for the World Shoot.

In the first episode of the Firearms Nation Podcast I talk with 3 Gun Nation competitor Keith Garcia and we talk about guns in California, shooting PCC and surfing. I learned that Keith has been a California police officer for over 20 years. He has run the gamut of various positions in the department but is know for being on the SWAT team as it's leader. Keith started competing in 2004 in local police matches and then USPSA but once he tried shooting 3-Gun, his life changed forever. Keith won the first ever "3 Gun Nation" shoot-off at SMM3G in 2010 and in 2011. He also had his first major match victory at the first "Pro Series" match in St. Augustine Florida. Keith also won the 3 Gun National Championship in 2013.
