While Weer'd was on vacation, Erin recorded this great interview with Cheryl Todd of Gun Freedom Radio,  AZ Firearms, and Pot of Gold Estate Auctions. Given that the interview ran a bit long, and because we had no regular episode to release on Monday,  Erin suggested we publish it so that our listeners wouldn't have to go a week without their Assorted Calibers fix.  So enjoy!
