Unrepentant Sinner with Karl Dahl: The Wild West Life of Colonel Charles Askins

Colonel Charles Askins lived the life of a Wild West Desperado with one foot on either side of the law as if he’d been born in the 19th instead of the 20th Century. He shot his first man at 12 as he was growing up in western Oklahoma but his adventure only started there. Askins was a National Forest Ranger, he had scrapes with Apaches, he was a Border Patrol Agent along the Rio Grande, he was a champion shooter, a soldier in North Africa & Europe during WWII, and he may have been the first man on the planet to kill with a .44 Magnum while he was in Vietnam. Karl Dahl, a good friend and an incredibly smart man, dives into the true life of one of the last Wild West men to have ever lived.
