Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

On this episode of Just the Truth with Joey Hudson, we take a closer look at two issues that matter to many families here in the Upstate: the future of local leadership and the importance of responsible firearm ownership.

First, Joey talks with William Crawford, a Boiling Springs resident, business owner, and father of two sons in public school who is preparing to run for Spartanburg County Council. While the official filing period has not yet opened, Crawford is already meeting with voters across the county. In this conversation, he shares why he believes county government should operate with a more business-minded approach, greater transparency, and stronger fiscal discipline as Spartanburg County continues to grow.

Then Joey sits down with Doug Lawson, a certified firearms instructor and member of the United States Practical Shooting Association, to talk about gun safety, training, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a firearm. Doug discusses the value of proper instruction, the role of a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP), and why education and responsible handling are essential for anyone interested in the shooting sports or personal protection.

Two conversations focused on local leadership, personal responsibility, and issues impacting communities across South Carolina.
