Podcast host Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL living in Tennessee, worked with SIG SAUER’s charitable arm to supply Hickman County deputies with modern firearms after learning their kit was more than 25 years old amid tight funding. The Nashville handover included the mayor, city council, and sheriff’s staff.

Thirty M400 rifles arrived with ROMEO 5 sights, SLX suppressors, FOXTROT-MSR lights, and emergency kits. SIG also pledged advanced rifle training. Marketing vice president Jason Wright said the project fits the foundation’s law-enforcement support goals.
