Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk

ENTERTAINMENT
INFORMATION
MOTIVATION

Gun Talk is your multimedia source for intellectual ammunition
on firearms, gun rights, personal defense, training, and more.

The Program

Nationally-known firearms expert, television host and author, Tom Gresham, talks about gun safety, sport and recreational shooting, issues that involve firearms, interviews industry specialists, and takes calls from listeners from across the country. Weekly guests and occasional remote broadcasts from across the country and around the world.

On Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk, listeners soon learn three things about the show and guns: Safety, personal responsibility, and common courtesy. Other than that, Tom will talk about anything having to do with guns — particular firearms, ammunition, different types of recreational and competitive shooting, hunting, even politics. And listeners don’t have to agree with the host to participate and be treated politely.

Guests also join Tom…from shooters to gun, accessory, and reloading manufacturers to training specialists to political activists to the occasional gun-savvy celebrity.

Tom also takes plenty of time to talk with listeners. Their views, advice and questions are the driving force of the show.

“Over the last few years, Tom Gresham’s “Gun Talk” has emerged as the definitive voice of rational, responsible gun owners across America. It just makes sense that his program be heard on one of the most powerful radio signals here in the cradle of the American Revolution.”
Phil Zachary Former VP/Market Manager, WRKO Entercom Boston
“When I was Market Manager for WPGB FM in Pittsburgh, we added Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk because the program fit our audience and it opened up
a number of new categories of advertisers that we were never able to get on the station.”
Dennis Lamme Former President / Market Manager, iHeartMedia D.C/Baltimore
“WEBY, Northwest Florida’s Talk Radio, has carried Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk since 2000. It is an outstanding program that we are proud to carry. And based on listener response, the community is glad we carry it.”
Mike BatesGeneral Manager, WEBY Pensacola, FL
“Gun Talk on a sports station seemed like a natural fit. The weekend talk shows tend to be recycled stories that have been beat up all week. This show fits our demographic, covers a topic always in the news, and has opened doors to a new set of advertisers.”
Brian JewettFormer General Manager, Team 1010 KXPS Palm Springs, CA

When I started the show in 1995 my goal was to be the reasonable voice in the gun debate. There are extremists on both sides of this issue, but the strident views and shouts from the fringes don’t educate the public and they don’t move us toward informed policy decisions. I’ve said it many times in my broadcast that I don’t repeat the claims from the NRA (where I’m not a particularly popular person). Data from the CDC, the FBI, the National Safety Council, and various law enforcement agencies tend to be factual and the most useful.
