Secret Service Vet Tom Bolsch: Air Force One Stories, Protecting Presidents & Building Saddle River Range | Vinny's Out to Lunch

THE WOODLANDS TX --  Join Vinny for an unforgettable chat with Tom Bolsch, retired U.S. Secret Service agent (25 years) and owner of Saddle River Range in Conroe, TX. Tom shares gripping stories from his time on the Presidential Protection Detail — including point man duties on Air Force One for Presidents Clinton and Bush, the intense post-9/11 patriotism during the Army-Navy game trip, and reflections on recent security incidents.

Now, 10+ years after opening Saddle River Range (right on FM 1488 near Magnolia/The Woodlands), Tom talks about building a premier indoor shooting facility: 23+ lanes with top-tier air filtration, archery pro shop, the new River's Edge knife bar (grand opening vibes), 100+ gun rentals, expert training (including Texas License to Carry/LTC classes), veteran hiring focus, and why it's open to the public with membership perks. Hear practical tips on LTC renewal, what to do during traffic stops with a firearm, range safety, and why fresh air and cleanliness matter at a shooting range.

Plus, laughs about Sig Sauer guns, Clint Eastwood quotes, and more! Whether you're into firearms, 2A rights, law enforcement stories, or just great local Houston-area business tales, this episode delivers.
