In this episode of The American Warrior Show, host Rich Brown welcomes retired FBI Special Agent Dr. T.C. Fuller— decorated Army veteran, elite firearms instructor, award-winning author, and former Quantico instructor. He’s the brains behind acclaimed books like Painting Over Rust: Stories From a 20 Year Odyssey in the FBI, No Safe Alternative: Improving How We Teach Cops to Kill, and his recently released memoir Empathy for the Devil: Interrogating Terrorists in Guantanamo Bay.
Together, Rich and Fuller tackle the complex world of carrying in non-permissive environments—such as private businesses that prohibit firearms even when the law allows carry.
From this rich body of experience, Fuller will guide listeners through:
The fine line between legal rights and policy obligations
Tactical considerations for navigating “gray zones” safely
Maintaining readiness when faced with carry bans or unclear signage
The mindset, responsibility, and proper response when laws and policies diverge
Whether you’re a legally armed citizen or a firearms professional, this episode delivers practical wisdom—not hypothetical discussion—from a seasoned agent’s real-world experiences.
