00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Forged mlock Ready, and I try to Bold Carrier Group.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,000
The Ruger Harrier is completely re engineered for today's shooter.

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:12,199
Innovation without compromise comes standard with the Harrier.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: Upgrade your optic with Hollisen, where innovation meets precision. With

5
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:20,399
fifty thousand hours of battery life, shake away technology and

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,079
a solar failsafe, your optic is always ready when you

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,160
are holosen, confidence in every shot.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,719
The the gun Talk Media Facebook page has exploded. We

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,000

18
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:06,159
have training facility where we teach people to shoot actually

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
pretty much anything that has to do with guns, as

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,480
I have all my life, and then my dad did

21
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,799
before me. I grew up doing this thing. It's kind

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:22,079
of interesting. I just jumped into doing this, never thought about.

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,519
I don't even remember making a conscious decision to become

24
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:26,519
a writer and a photographer. It just I just did

25
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,920
it because I grew up doing it. And then when

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000
I got a chance to do TV, I thought, well,

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,480
I probably just thought, you know, what's the big deal.

28
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:35,719
Anybody can do this. But if my dad can do it,

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000
anybody can do it, right. I mean, he's on ABC TV,

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,719
he's on ESPN, he's hosted shows there. I can do that,

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,920
sure fight. So I grew up doing this. My dad

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,959
was writing about gun rights in the fifties, and so

33
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:55,319
a lot of what I get by institutional knowledge, I

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,280
go all the way back to what I learned from

35
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,560
him and going through his files. He kept things forever.

36
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,959
I have still have articles that were written in the

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,120
fifties calling for Americans to turn in their guns, turn

38
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,280
in their handguns. Especially the move back then was to

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,599
ban handguns. When that didn't work, they switched to long

40
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,439
guns and ars. That's not going to work. They're going

41
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,400
to go back to that, I guarantee you at some point.

42
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:21,439
But you know what, you can be a part of this.

43
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:22,840
Did you want to call right now? Give me a

44
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,400
range report. What have you been shooting? Did you go

45
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,639
out and do a little shooting on Independence Day? Love

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,400
to know about that. Eight sixty six Talk Gun or

47
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,680
Tom Talk Guns is the number here. Jeff called in

48
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,120
out of the Grand Oregon. Hey, Jeff, thank you for

49
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:37,240
your patience. I'm glad you hung in there with us.

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: You have the floor, that's fine and I love it

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,800
every time you have Uncle ted.

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,439
Speaker 5: On the TV American.

53
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,879
Speaker 4: And I'm blind, so I can't drive to the range

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,400
as often as i'd like. But this past week my

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960
grandson had a birthday, so I gave him a twenty two.

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,520
He wanted to go to the range, so I grabbed

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,319
the three new center fire rifles that I picked up

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,599
in the last few weeks. And I'm able to shoot

59
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:11,479
using a stable table and good optics and stuff. Anyway,

60
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,000
I picked up a custom made thirty six by a

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,439
well known gun maker in this area, quilted Maplestock eleven

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,599
inlays in thirty six wow, And I had a box

63
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:32,000
of nozzler factory load or not nozzler norma one hundred

64
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:35,319
and eighty grain factory load bullets and took that out

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,960
and shot it, and I was able to get about

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
an intern a quarter out of it without really doctoring

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,599
on it. Then the second rifle fellow owed me money

68
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,159
and brought a Saiko fin Bear over in two seventy.

69
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,319
I had a box of Federal factory load one hundred

70
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:59,919
and thirty grain and that shot about the same as

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,159
the custom rifle, about an inch and a quarter. And

72
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:08,520
then the third one that I got is a Ruger

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,159
American in threeh eight, and I had a box of

74
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,560
one hundred and fifty grain Norma Ammo right, and that

75
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:22,279
shot seven eighths of an inch. You don't have to

76
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,920
spend a lot of runny.

77
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say it's crazy. The Ruger American at

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,439
whatever it is, five hundred and six hundred bucks is

79
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,839
just stupidly accurate, and it's just easy to get him

80
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:36,800
to shoot well. I mean, it's really as one of

81
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,759
the best values out there in bull dykes and rifles.

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you don't have to spend as much as

83
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,439
the other two rifles are worth. But what a nice

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,720
little rifle. But then I wanted to weigh in on

85
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:55,000
the iconic American gun. Okay, I mean a good case

86
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:58,360
can be made for nineteen elevens or the lever actions

87
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:02,720
or a grand But I think the most iconic to me,

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120
even though it's not my favorite rifle, is a pre

89
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,519
sixty four model seventy Winchester.

90
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: The riflemen's rifle is the way that Winchester put it

91
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,680
in their ads back in the sixties.

92
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, So anyway, that's my opinion.

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I like it. I have no problem with that

94
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,720
in Winchester Pre sixty four model seventy Winchester rifle classic

95
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,480
as classic can be. Hey, Mataias is also on the

96
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,639
phone with us out of Fontanna, California.

97
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: Hey, Matios, how you doing pretty good?

98
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:42,519
Speaker 6: Happy Americans through fifty to you Tom. There you go, Yeah, sir,

99
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,439
longtime listener, first time caller. You know, being in California,

100
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,680
we've got you know, we've got our fifteens over here,

101
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,519
but we have like compliance issues, right and I bet

102
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,560
you pass the owners are not even compliant. And I'm

103
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,240
wondering what the assault weapon span Scotus case we'll do

104
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,560
for that sort of thing here in California where we

105
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,360
have to be compliant.

106
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,439
Speaker 3: For you, Okay, Yeah, let me throw a thought out there. Yeah,

107
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,279
it's a good point. There are people who are saying, yeah,

108
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:18,560
you know, even if the Supreme Court says you can't

109
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,759
ban air fifteens, then states will put restrictions on them. Okay,

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,439
you can have one, but it has to have this

111
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,079
set of features on it or it has to you

112
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,920
know this that. And we still don't know if we're

113
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:36,800
going to be able to get the magazine capacity ban challenge.

114
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560
I don't think they're going to include that in this.

115
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,040
And there are other cases, but they have not accepted

116
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:44,439
one of those. So I think you're right to say, look,

117
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,199
this is positive, but we know how determined California or

118
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,600
California government is in trying to ban these guns, and

119
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:54,920
they would just come up with another sneaky way to

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,639
do it, and then the battle goes on, as we say,

121
00:06:57,639 --> 00:06:59,759
it goes on forever. All right, ready for your range

122
00:06:59,759 --> 00:06:59,959
of for it.

123
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

124
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: So I'm a member of a private gun club and

125
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,399
that's just the way to go.

126
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: You know.

127
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: We're on eighty acres and we have like fourteen matches,

128
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,000
and one of the best matches we have is the

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,759
night match. And well, I can't emphasize enough that if

130
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,759
you haven't done a night match, then you really haven't

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600
really tested your equipment out. You know, and then we

132
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:30,319
also have like a wonderful youth sporting session for the

133
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:34,240
kids that's sponsored by one of the gun shops down here,

134
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,680
where the dad's moms can bring their youth over to

135
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:44,560
our range and they'll do the NRA marksmanship qualifications, take.

136
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,959
Speaker 7: Them through all the four rules of gun safety.

137
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 6: You name it, we do it, you know.

138
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,079
Speaker 5: Including cleaning guns.

139
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 8: Who does that anymore?

140
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: One of the things, you know, one of the things

141
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,000
that occurs to me is that when you have a

142
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,879
private shooting right change, it depends upon volunteers to make

143
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,759
it run, doesn't it.

144
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

145
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

146
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 6: We have a we have a board of directors, we

147
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:13,600
have many assistants to help it keep it going, wonderful

148
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:17,959
maintenance staff as well. It's just a well ran machine.

149
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,199
Speaker 3: But but it depends upon it requires the commitment of

150
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,839
the members to volunteer to make life better by putting

151
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:32,200
in time and effort and putting basically part of themselves

152
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,919
into it. I just love the concept our local shooting range.

153
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,240
We have workdays and those types of things like you

154
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,000
got to show up, you got to help. If you

155
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:42,120
want nice things, you got.

156
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,919
Speaker 9: To work for them.

157
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,879
Speaker 3: There it is all right, are you what's the by

158
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:48,200
the way, what's the gunshop there?

159
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 6: Turners Outdoorsmen, great posts, great chain of outdoorsmen stores down

160
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:59,159
here in southern California and parts of northern California. But

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,120
there wonderful They sponsor us for the AMMO and donated

162
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,440
rifles and things like that. It's it's a wonderful program

163
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,080
to keep the you know. That's that's where the future

164
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:11,919
is of a second Amendment is our.

165
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:16,279
Speaker 3: Youth, absolutely absolutely, well, you know it is our future.

166
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,679
And and back to that point, and if we don't volunteer,

167
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,080
if we're not willing to go do the things ourselves,

168
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,120

Speaker 3: I've get some interesting comments online about the photo I

229
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,360
posted on X of the nineteen eleven, but with the

230
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:52,120
hat I had made, I came up with this an

231
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,559
idea of my own MAGA hat and it says make

232
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:01,200
Americans gunfighters again. People going, where can I get that?

233
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,600
Who's selling those hats? No, I'm not going to sell

234
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:05,240
the hats. If I did that, I might make money.

235
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,240
Who wants to do that? No? You could have made yourself.

236
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,240
I just go to Amazon now custom print anything you want.

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,840
If you want to go. Take a look at the

238
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:17,039
picture of it over on X. I posted it there.

239
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,879
Uh to find me on X I am at Gun

240
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:23,039
Talk there. So yeah, but it's fine. I just one

241
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:26,159
of those warks. Sometimes I get these creative things in

242
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,919
my head and I can't get rid of them, and

243
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,639
so final I just have to go execute it and

244
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:32,360
make it happen and go do it. And so there

245
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:35,240
you go. Anyway, number he is eighty six six Talk

246
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:38,799
Gun Give you a call. Kurt did that. He's in Watertown,

247
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,639
South Dakota. Hey, Kurt, thank you for your patience. What's

248
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,559
on your mind, sir.

249
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 7: Hi Tom. I've got a couple of candidates for iconic guns.

250
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:48,879
Speaker 3: Great.

251
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 7: The first one would be a twelve gage single shot

252
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,840
shot gun. I don't think anybody's grandfather didn't have.

253
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and usually had like a thirty two inch barrel

254
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,879
at least.

255
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:06,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

256
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they were cheap and anybody could afford one.

257
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: Right.

258
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,279
Speaker 7: And now my other candidate is the dzy B begun.

259
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I had not thought of that. I mean, I'm

260
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360
gonna go even further and drill down and say the

261
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:23,320
Red Rider.

262
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:27,279
Speaker 7: The Red Rider. I never had a Red Rider, but

263
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,039
I had a Cup.

264
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: You had a cup and I had to model twenty five.

265
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200
That was a pump action that had the little scissor

266
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,639
arm thing, And when you're really small and young, you

267
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,000
can't get your arm your hand all the way out

268
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,360
to the handle on the forearm. You try to hold

269
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,360
it about midway out and that thing would pinch you. Man,

270
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,320
you would get a blood blister on your hand. Wow.

271
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,440
I remember my uncle had one of those.

272
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,919
Speaker 7: They used to have to set the butt on the

273
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,360
ground and push it down with both hands at all.

274
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, you were small when you were doing that.

275
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Weren't you, Yes, I was. I loved the idea of

276
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,799
a BB gun. Maybe even we were just like I say,

277
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,679
we may even just say the Red Rider as one

278
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,559
of America's iconic guns, not a firearm according to ATF.

279
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:20,679
But we will widen our net will take in the

280
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:23,919
baby guns. Great idea. I appreciate it, Kurt, thank you

281
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:26,799
for the call. Let's drop down to grab Glenn on

282
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,039
line two out of Kansas. Hey, Glenn, you're on gun Talk.

283
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,519
What's up?

284
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:31,919
Speaker 9: Oh?

285
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,399
Speaker 14: I wanted to talk about an iconic American firearm, and

286
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,159
I got to tell you just a brief story.

287
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:37,879
Speaker 3: Sure.

288
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,399
Speaker 14: When I was sixteen in nineteen seventy you got my

289
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,399
first job working at the gap station up fifteen hours

290
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:48,200
and I took my first two each wages and went

291
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,080
and bought a Rimington seven hundred in a two forty three,

292
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
and I had to borrow like thirty fine dollars from

293
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:57,679
my dad a scope on it.

294
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:01,559
Speaker 3: Oh man, oh man, do you do you still have it?

295
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 15: Bill?

296
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,519
Speaker 14: Of course, got it. That's going to go to grandson.

297
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,320
And Bill still shoots great. I got it out last

298
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,399
year and I was going to do some handloads, and

299
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:15,120
I bought a box of just playing Federal two forty

300
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,960
three hundred greens and I shot about point sixty five

301
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,720
was the center of the third group on those. And

302
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:26,840
so I don't think I'll do any handload and if

303
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:29,159
I I I can shoot anyway.

304
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: There is something about the Remnton seven hundred. It always

305
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:39,679
was accurate. I know people love the Winchester Model seventy

306
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,440
and that's a great classic gun. But the seven hundreds,

307
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:45,480
in my experience, always outshot the Winchesters.

308
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 8: That's been my experience also.

309
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 14: And I think the three sixty Four's are fine, but

310
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,480
the later model winchester just don't shoot as.

311
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,799
Speaker 16: Good as the old ones. In my opinion.

312
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,519
Speaker 14: My Remington's always shoot good. And I've just had great

313
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:06,599
luck Whistle and I don't know. I don't think you

314
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:07,920
can get you more iconic than that.

315
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,039
Speaker 3: That's a good recommendation. I like the Remidons seven hundred

316
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,920
is not a bad choice. The two forty three is

317
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,680
a great caliber. So there you go. Good idea. Thanks Glen,

318
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,279
appreciate it. Yeah, we got time. We'll get Joe out

319
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,799
of Erie, Kansas online one. Hey Joe, what's your talk about?

320
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,279
Speaker 9: Yes, I remember Dad bought me a red, brighter new

321
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:35,759
in nineteen seventy five approximately. My uncle gave us our

322
00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:41,799
favorite shotgun about nineteen early nineteen seventeen, our seventies. It

323
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:47,480
was Remington long long barrel pump. First gun that ever

324
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:48,240
knocked me down.

325
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all.

326
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 9: Right, two iconic, two iconic guns right there, right right now.

327
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:06,079
That same uncle gave me my first guitar exactly fifty

328
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,559
years ago, right at the fan after the family union.

329
00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:10,720
And I still got that guitar.

330
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:13,039
Speaker 3: What is it? What kind of guitar.

331
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:17,559
Speaker 9: It's a very rare one. It'll be ninety years old

332
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:18,079
next year.

333
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I guess so. Yeah, amazing. Do you

334
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,440
still play?

335
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:23,839
Speaker 5: Oh?

336
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, good, Yeah, I still play?

337
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: All right. You want to talk about that, yeah, And

338
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:31,319
I know you want to talk about the idea of

339
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:34,119
not carrying because it's safe where you are.

340
00:18:36,039 --> 00:18:39,519
Speaker 9: Yes, you're right about that. Just because it's safe where

341
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,599
you're at, in a nice town or a county whatever,

342
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,039
as soon as you go into the other county, it's

343
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:46,599
a crime waiting to happen either direction from me.

344
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a short drive to crazy and dangerous, which,

345
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,960
by the way, means that it's also a short drive

346
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:57,920
for crazy and dangerous to get to you wherever you are.

347
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 9: Absolutely you got to be preferred for that.

348
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:05,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, pants on gun all. That's the way I operate,

349
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,640
pants on gun on every day. Thank you for the call, sir.

350
00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:10,480
I do want to do this. I'm gonna take a

351
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:13,559
couple of minutes personal privilege here, if you will. Fourth

352
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:16,119
of July Independence Day we had a party. Actually we

353
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,240
did it on the third because I figured everybody'd be

354
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,160
busy on the fourth, so we invited a bunch of

355
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,160
neighbors over. We had probably forty five people on a

356
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,559
cookout on our deck, and we had burgers and brots

357
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:30,559
and dogs going. And I'm looking out the window right

358
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:36,559
now at the deck it's three four flags, three of

359
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,839
the red, white and blueloo buntings and then a dozen

360
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,960
of the small American flags. We had flags everywhere. So

361
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:45,480
we do all the prep. But everybody's you know, having

362
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,559
a good time and enjoying their beverages and all. And

363
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,599
then we put the food out and my wife calls

364
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:52,039
everybody to attention, just said welcomes them all. And I said,

365
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:55,039
all right, as long as we're stopped here, if you

366
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:58,440
would please stand up, take off your hats and on

367
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,720
our speaker system that was playing out there. I played

368
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,839
the national anthem, and everybody there stood with their hats off,

369
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,839
the hens over their hearts, and sang along to the

370
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,680
national anthem out on the deck to celebrate America's two

371
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:20,960
hundred and fiftieth birthday. I love my neighbors. I love

372
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:25,160
my country. I often tear up when the national anthem

373
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:31,079
is played, and I don't I can't really explain that emotion.

374
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,440
It's just what I have. It just means a lot

375
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:42,559
to me. And it took a lot to form the country.

376
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,519
It takes a lot to keep the country, and we

377
00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:52,400
have to I think all of us remind each of

378
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,920
us of the need to stay engaged, to be involved,

379
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:02,640
to commit to voting. We have mid terms coming up.

380
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,680
If we don't vote, it's going to be catastrophic. I

381
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,400
mean really truly catastrophic. And not just vote. I mean,

382
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,519
first of all, you got a registered to vote. A

383
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,079
lot of people don't even know if they are registered

384
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,559
to vote. I once heard or saw or report that

385
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:22,480
that half the members of the NRA are not registered

386
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:24,200
to vote, which is amazing to me. How can you

387
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,839
be an effective political force if you're not even registered

388
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:31,799
to vote? So we have to help each other. We

389
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,319
have to enable each other to be effective, to remind

390
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,759
each other that this fight is forever. If you care

391
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:42,319
about the Second Amendment, I don't care about your other issues.

392
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,240
You know we may disagree on those. We're going to

393
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:49,079
agree on Second Amendment. If you care about it, may

394
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,400
I suggest that you need to commit to being a volunteer,

395
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,519
to being an activist, to be engaged, whether it's time

396
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,200
or money, which are kind of interchangeable. Sometimes getting somebody

397
00:22:04,519 --> 00:22:07,119
to the polls, helping them get there, making sure your

398
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,839
buddies are registered to vote. It's okay to say, what

399
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,759
do you mean you're not registered to vote, you knucklehead.

400
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,799
Let's get this done. It's a life kind battle. It

401
00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:19,400
will never end because they will always be coming after

402
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,039
our rights and they will only get them if we

403
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,799
stop fighting. We can never stop fighting. So as we

404
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,720
celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of our country,

405
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:37,799
let's all we commit to stay engage, all right. Praise

406
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,400
to the day. Is Magga make Americans gun fighters again.

407
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:43,759
I'm Tom Gresham. It's gun talk. Give me a call

408
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,799
it eight sixty six or talk gun or Tom Talk gun.

409
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,880
That'll get you. There a lot of folks lined up,

410
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,480
they're on the phones. Let me go grab the first one.

411
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:56,279
Richard is online two out of Hill Country, Texas. Richard,

412
00:22:56,319 --> 00:22:56,920
you're up.

413
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:03,799
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, my nomination is not a particular gun. It's

414
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,200
just a twenty two caliber whatever gun a person likes

415
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:07,960
for once.

416
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: Has, okay, yeah, for America's gun. Now, would you limit

417
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,880
it to a rifle versus handgun?

418
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,279
Speaker 8: No twenty two caliber period whatever?

419
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: Okay?

420
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,039
Speaker 8: Whatever that works in it's it's been HiT's around everywhere.

421
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't have a twenty two, what's wrong

422
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,480
with you?

423
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: Right?

424
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 8: Don't you take?

425
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, everywhere I do. I was at the range

426
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,559
the other day. I was taking a fifteen year old out.

427
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:40,599
We shot a twenty two revolver, a twenty two semi autopistol,

428
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:44,079
and a twenty two rifle and a Rugerten twenty two.

429
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,920
So yeah, we had to boss you in twenty two's.

430
00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:49,079
So I don't think there's the thing in the world

431
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,920
wrong with that. Good, good idea. Thank you, sir, appreciate

432
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,480
the call. Let's go grab Jeff on four out of

433
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:56,960
boys the Idaho. Jeff, you got a range of fort

434
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:58,680
for us? Yeah?

435
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 17: Hi, Tom, Hey, I went and recently bought a Smith

436
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,680
and Wesson Shield Easy in thirty Super Carry.

437
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,559
Speaker 4: Oh, interesting, Supercurry.

438
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 17: Round has been maligned, like you're reading, it's a only

439
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:16,200
an idiot would buy a thirty Supercurry. But this shield

440
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,799
Easy was only two hundred and forty dollars and that

441
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,079
Smith and Wesson is just a beautiful, beautiful gun. Yes

442
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,559
it is not do it and for those who don't

443
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,720
meant it, let.

444
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,279
Speaker 3: Me jump in, let me explain. For those who don't know,

445
00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:35,720
the shield Ez is a semi auto pistol, good defensive gun,

446
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,920
but the Easy is the designation for the way it's made.

447
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,839
The rack. The slide is very easy to rack. It's

448
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,680
very easy to operate the slide, and so I often

449
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,720
recommend that shield Z for people who are having trouble

450
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:53,480
operating the slide on their semiato. But the thirty Super

451
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:58,400
Carry is a new er, new ish cartridge, and you're right,

452
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,079
it has been much maligne. People go, what's the point

453
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,240
of it, So what's your experience with it?

454
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,839
Speaker 17: Well, okay, I've got the shield easy in three eighty

455
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,400
and I am very recoil sensitive, so I'm concerned about that.

456
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480
But the Super Carry is supposed to be between three

457
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,799
eighty and nine milimeters, closer to nine millimeter, and the

458
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,279
recoil is supposed to be similar to nine milime, it

459
00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:23,000
may be a little bit less. So I just tried

460
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,559
it out and I shot it, and it really wasn't

461
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,839
bad at all, And I was really kind of amazed

462
00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:33,480
that they do something with the action of the pistol

463
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:35,720
that it kind of delays it a little bit and

464
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,319
it made the recoil not so bad.

465
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: Are you having any trouble finding Ammo for.

466
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:46,759
Speaker 17: That, Well, yes, I mean Ammo is there. The complaint

467
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:51,079
is Ammo availability and Ammo cost. So Ammo cost is

468
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:54,279
a little bit more than three eighty, but then so

469
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,720
is thirty two ACP. And I don't I think that

470
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:00,759
for a beautiful gun. I don't really care about the animal.

471
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,920
I'm not going to shoot that thing a whole lot.

472
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,559
And it's a nice shooting gun, and the ballistics are

473
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:10,799
almost identical in foot pounds of energy to a nine milimeter,

474
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,400
so I think it's just it's kind of great.

475
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 5: I like it.

476
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,319
Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned that you have the shield these

477
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,759
d and three eighty, and I think that is a

478
00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:23,559
sleeper gun in a sleeper cartridge that more people should

479
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:24,119
be aware of.

480
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:28,839
Speaker 17: It's nice. Plus do you know that it's the only

481
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,200
gun out there, one of the few ones that has

482
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,480
a grip safety and a manual safety, which is kind

483
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:37,240
of an interesting concept in its own right. I think

484
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:41,720
the limitation on the three eighty shield Easy is just

485
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,640
I think it's eight rounds. It doesn't have much capacity,

486
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,799
so there are better three eighties. For example, the Ruger

487
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,799
Security three eight is a fifteen round is a nice gun, so.

488
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: Right, but if you hear those are beautiful, they are.

489
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,920
And if you have trouble operating a slide, the three

490
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,160
eighty in any semiauto is a lot easier to work

491
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,599
the slide than a nine to milimeter, so I recommend that.

492
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,279
And three eighty AMO is very good, certainly adequate for

493
00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:14,599
almost all self defense situations. But the easy system is

494
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,920
very easy to work the slide too. So there you go,

495
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,880
good good range of port. I thank you, sir. I

496
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,279
appreciate that. One thing that brings me to a safety

497
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,960
thing I want to talk about when you're working the

498
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,880
slide on a semiauto pistol and I talk about this

499
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,839
a good bit. You can bring the gun into your

500
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,880
chest and put your if you're shooting right hand, put

501
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,079
your left hand over the top of the slide. You

502
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,279
shove forward with your right hand and you yank back

503
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:44,839
with your left hand. That's all well and good. It

504
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,519
works very well. Here's the problem or the challenge. If

505
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:53,279
you prefer I keep getting your porch from people say, yeah,

506
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:55,079
there was somebody at the range who was doing it

507
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,039
that way, but he or she brought it into their chest,

508
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,079
and now it's pointing at a ninety degree angle from downrange.

509
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,880
It's pointing at everybody along the line where there are

510
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,200
all these people. Yes, if you bring the gun in

511
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,200
and you swing the muzzle over to your left, if

512
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,160
you're right handed, it's easier to work the slide. Here's

513
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:20,319
the way you handle that, and here's how you even

514
00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:22,960
if you're not doing it. If you're coaching somebody on this,

515
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:26,519
that's what you tell them to do. Turn their body

516
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,759
sideways so their left shoulders pointing down range, so that

517
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,759
when they bring the gun to the chest to operate

518
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:41,119
the slide, the muzzle is still pointing down range and

519
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,720
then they rack the slide. You can point it down

520
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:46,119
range and you can turn your body square it off again.

521
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,519
But then when it's time to bring the gun back

522
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,759
in and we're on the slide, if you feel the

523
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:53,359
need to pull that gun in and have it point

524
00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:56,279
it across your chest, take a step one way or

525
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:59,359
the other, turn your body sideways, blade it so that

526
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,720
you're shoulder in the case of a right hand shooters

527
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:05,599
pointed down range, worked the slide, and then square up again.

528
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,480
It's a fairly simple movement. It's a fairly simple concept

529
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,599
to get a hold of. But just wanted to throw

530
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,400
it out there for everybody. It's a safety issue. Okay,

531
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:19,440
let's grab Mike online, three out of Texas. Hey, Mike,

532
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:19,880
you're up.

533
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:26,079
Speaker 16: Hello Tom, Yes you're what. You asked everybody what they

534
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:27,519
thought representative America and the.

535
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 5: Way of a gun?

536
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,119
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

537
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 16: I believe it's I think it's a single shot, honestly. So,

538
00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:36,079
I mean, you think about it, what did our forefathers

539
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:37,759
fight with? They fought with single shots?

540
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 5: Did they not?

541
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, if you start off with muskets and then

542
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:43,480
flint locks and yeah.

543
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 16: Yeah, yes exactly, And then you think about it. You know,

544
00:29:47,559 --> 00:29:50,200
any kiddo they got started off shooting probably started off

545
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,960
with a single shot. Four ten.

546
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 9: I would bet.

547
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,559
Speaker 3: Good chance of it at least way back. Maybe not

548
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:57,440
so much anymore because it's kind of hard to find

549
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,200
single shots now. They're just particularly in youth guns. But

550
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,920
you know, also, I would say that there are some

551
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,359
really cool single shots out there in the form of

552
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,319
like the Ruger Number one, which is a great rifle,

553
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,359
but it's a single shot.

554
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,759
Speaker 16: Well, you looked at all the thousands that were made

555
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:18,119
by Thompson Center and HNR News and Thoms. I mean,

556
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,880
there were a ton of them made. And I really

557
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:23,519
enjoy the simplicity of the action.

558
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: I really do.

559
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:26,559
Speaker 16: I have been a big fan of single shots for

560
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:27,200
a long time.

561
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, A break action single shot is about as

562
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,400
simple as it gets. The only thing I would offer

563
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:35,079
is that anybody who's done this knows what I'm talking about.

564
00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:38,279
If you get, like Thompson Center one of those, and

565
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:40,279
you get it in something like a forty five seventy,

566
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,200
the recoil is prodigious.

567
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:46,559
Speaker 16: Well, I have an H and R single shot forty

568
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:47,119
five seventy.

569
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:48,599
Speaker 4: I absolutely love it.

570
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 16: It is so much fun to shoot. You go and

571
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,480
you shoot. It just puts a big old grind on

572
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:54,200
these things. And I have seen that for so many

573
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,000
people shoot it.

574
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: It does, you know, but you got a lot of

575
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,920
know like this is a light one gun, it's gonna

576
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,680
have some recoil.

577
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 16: Oh absolutely well. I shot Factory four a front five

578
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:09,319
grand loves out of it. And then my father in law,

579
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,400
being a reloader, custom tuned up some pretty good mo

580
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:14,839
and it would get your traumise.

581
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:19,519
Speaker 3: Boy oh boy, yeah, you can hear that.

582
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: But just a blast.

583
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 16: It comes forward down discipline and accuracy than anything.

584
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: Yep, I hear you. Yes, single shot is going to

585
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:28,759
force you to concentrate. You only got one. No follow

586
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:31,640
up shots? All right, real quick, let's go grab Dick

587
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,640
out of Least City, Texas. Thing's online? Five? Hello, Dick,

588
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,519
you're on gun talk. What's on your mind? Or or

589
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:44,119
he's not. It's a day for people to lose their

590
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,720
connections or put down their phones. I don't know. And

591
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:49,279
sometimes I think they'll mute the phone and now he's

592
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:51,119
trying to talk to me and he forgot that the music,

593
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,640
But it happens. That's kind of the deal. So ask

594
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,759
me the question, if you had to pick a gun

595
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:02,119
that what you could call America's gun, what would it be?

596
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:07,920
We mentioned somebody mentioned twenty two's Yeah, could a Ruger

597
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:14,920
ten twenty two maybe not old enough? Maybe not. I

598
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,920
gotta say I think I got to put a vote

599
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,799
in for the nineteen eleven platform. It's been made by

600
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,519
a whole bunch of different companies, including the Singer Sewing

601
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:30,519
Machine company unbelievably made nineteen elevens. Might be a good

602
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:34,440
vote there. I like the lever action rifle concept as

603
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:41,400
America's gun in one grand. Maybe I don't know. It's

604
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:47,359
it's there's so many good choices. That's an interesting thought.

605
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,400
The reason we're struggling with this is there are, in fact,

606
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:57,039
so many good choices, so many good platforms of firearms

607
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,680
in America. We are, and I offer and say this,

608
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,160
we are in the golden age right now. And we

609
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
talk about the old days, the pre sixty fours of this,

610
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,920
and that they don't make them like they used to.

611
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,359
Know they don't. They make them a lot better now

612
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,319
than they used to. The guns we buy now are

613
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:16,920
so much better what was made in the old days.

614
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,559
I mean they just are. When you can get a

615
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:24,559
Ruger American rifle that shoots half inch groups out of

616
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:29,440
the box, that was unheard of thirty forty fifty years ago,

617
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,680
we have pistols that you go buy. There's any number

618
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,640
of people companies making nineteen elevens. Now, they're simply better

619
00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:41,720
than what you could have gotten thirty to fifty years ago.

620
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,359
They just are. And then we have guns that never

621
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,359
existed before, double stack nineteen elevens. This goes on and on,

622
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,240
all of our striker fired guns. Oh, by the way,

623
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:56,279
we had callers said the other said it was rare

624
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:59,880
because you had a pistol with a grip safety and

625
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:04,640
emmanual safety, and thinking, yeah, okay, that may seem rare

626
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,640
to you. But the one I'm wearing at the moment

627
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,480
with who's designed, Oh, I don't know. And nineteen eleven

628
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,519
was adopted by the US Army. It is a grip

629
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:19,559
safety and emmanual safety. Yeah it does okay. And some

630
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:22,239
people say, I don't like grip safety. Cool, get someone

631
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,639
without it. It's fine, you know. And now we have

632
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,079
the twenty elevens, if you will, the double stack nineteen elevens.

633
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,679
And at the same time we have all of these

634
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,800
great striker fired guns. I mean, I look at the

635
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,360
rugers and the smiths are being made, and now we're

636
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,800
getting more czs in the country, and the dan Wessons

637
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,719
have come back and are making really fine guns. Just

638
00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:53,039
I am amazed at the quality of the firearms we

639
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:57,239
have available to us. And we're probably going to get more.

640
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:00,960
Not just be more being made by the current companies,

641
00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:03,880
but I think we're going to get some restrictions removed

642
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,199
on imports and we're going to be able to get

643
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,519
some more guns coming in from other countries. Once again,

644
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:14,119
and I say this over and over again, Donald Trump,

645
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,880
it's a different world. And it's not just what you

646
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:22,239
heat hasn't done this. No, it's DOJ, it's State Department's imports,

647
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:26,800
it's ATF, it's regulations. They're talking about getting rid of

648
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,280
the restriction of having to be at a gun store

649
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,280
to get your gun worked about in state, where you

650
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,840
fill out all the paperwork online and they can send

651
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,599
it to your house. We have not been able to

652
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:47,079
do that since nineteen sixty eight. The nineteen sixty eight

653
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:51,519
Gun Control Act stopped that. And the ATF is saying, yeah,

654
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:54,679
we think we can do this from a regulatory basis.

655
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,639
Can you imagine a Biden or Ai administration doing that

656
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,679
crazy talk, crazy stuff. We just we're making so many

657
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,440
advancements so fast that we can't even keep up with it.

658
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,360
And the ATS says, here's thirty four measures we're going

659
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,559
to do to ease the burden on gun owners and

660
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:19,519
gun stores and manufacturers, and those are going to be

661
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:23,960
the first thirty four as we move forward. Just I mean,

662
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,239
it's fascinating. Uh, Jim, do we have time for one

663
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,039
more caller in here? Let's do know what I want? No,

664
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:34,280
let's drop down to Joe. I want to get Joe online.

665
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,519
Three please, Joe, you're up?

666
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 17: Hey, Tom.

667
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,599
Speaker 15: The greatest gun of all time, the gun that saves

668
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:43,599
the list, single action Colt forty five.

669
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, the Cowboy gun. Yes, and we have one.

670
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:53,039
Speaker 15: Without them, we wouldn't be here today.

671
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,639
Speaker 3: Do you have one?

672
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,679
Speaker 15: No, but really quick. My father used to sell old

673
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,760
cat aluminum models of those in the fifties and sixties,

674
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:06,119
the Colt the walk of the patters in the Army

675
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,480
of the Navy, and I was a kid working with

676
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:13,559
him preparing him a ship. When they got sold. I

677
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:16,719
even cated the grips. I was working at twelve years

678
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,039
old with guns.

679
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,679
Speaker 3: I love it all right, Thank you, Joe. I appreciate that.

680
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:25,639
As long as we're on this grab on line one

681
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,239
real fast. Robert in Arkansas. Hey, Robert, talk to me.

682
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:37,639
Speaker 5: I'd like to nominate two guns. The Kid eighteen seventy three, Yeah,

683
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,960
the gun that won the West Okay. And there was

684
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,360
a single action revolver called the Colt Single Action Army

685
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:48,320
they called the Peacemaker.

686
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: I like both of them. I think they're good choices.

687
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,840
And it's back to back. We had Joe and Reno

688
00:37:56,079 --> 00:38:00,519
and Robert and Arkansas Boseley and the Cult Single Action Army.

689
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,280
I love it good. You know. I have one of

690
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,599
those that I got from my dad, inherited from my dad,

691
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,559
and I don't think I've ever shot it. It's a

692
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:21,760
nickel plated Cult single action revolver, and I think probably

693
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,800
it's time to break it out. And I've got some

694
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,800
Colt Ammo, and I think I got to go in

695
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,519
celebration of America's two fiftieth, I got to go shoot

696
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:36,440
the single action Colt. Just hadn't thought about that. I

697
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:38,480
know exactly where it is and it's in the box.

698
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:42,519
I know it's been shot. It's not on fired, but

699
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:45,719
I bet it hadn't had fifty rounds through it. And

700
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,199
I think I got to go do that. Now I

701
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,719
do have some other single actions. I've got a number

702
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,239
of ruggers that I really like, some of the convertible

703
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,119
ones wait to shoot forty five ACP and forty five

704
00:38:56,119 --> 00:38:58,920
COLT And of course I think maybe the first handgun

705
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,559
that I own was a rugorous single action that they

706
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:06,360
were they called the convertibles twenty two, twenty two magnum

707
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,119
and twenty two long ride. Fun stuff, great memories. And

708
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:12,079
you know what the great part of it is, we

709
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,519
can have these memories of these guns we had and

710
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:16,440
we could still take them out and shoot them today.

711
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:29,199
That is the wonder and the beauty of fire. All right,

712
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,000
I know you have stories that we would like to

713
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,480
hear them. Give me a call right now. We can

714
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:34,679
get you into the after show number here is Tom

715
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,719
Talk gun easy as that. What a great weekend, what

716
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,760
a great time, what a great celebration. Two hundred and

717
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,280
fifty years of this incredible experiment. And trust me, there

718
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,880
are people who want to bring us down. We have

719
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,119
to keep fighting. They always have. It took fighting to

720
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:54,639
create the country. It has taken fighting to keep the country.

721
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,639
And it also requires fighting of a sort, maybe not

722
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,840
armed conflict, but being in a battle to retain our

723
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,440
rights that people are always trying to take away. I

724
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:10,000
don't really know what the true motivation is those who

725
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,559
say we could we shouldn't have guns. I mean, I

726
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:17,519
know some people are just bone stupid, okay, and actually

727
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:21,920
think that criminals will stop committing crime if somehow you

728
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,840
could ban guns. They don't. They don't, they never have.

729
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,840
In countries where they have very few guns, they still

730
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:33,880
have high crime rates. Just switch to something else. But

731
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,000
what also happens is you rob people of their ability

732
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:42,159
to protect themselves and their families. Guns are used in

733
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:46,239
self defense successfully in America more than a million times

734
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,440
a year, maybe as million, as many as three million

735
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:55,840
times a year. The guns are successfully used to protect themselves,

736
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,840
people use to protect themselves or other people. Take away

737
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,360
the guns. You make them defenseless, You make them victims.

738
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,280
People say, oh, yeah, we have to do something gun violence.

739
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,960
You know what, Let me just say this, sometimes gun

740
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:18,599
violence is good. You don't believe that. Let something really

741
00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:20,280
bad happen. And what are you gonna do. You're gonna

742
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,840
call nine one one. What do you want when you

743
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,960
call nine one one? You want people to bring guns.

744
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,480
You want them to bring violence to someone to get

745
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,360
them to stop doing whatever they're doing. So, no matter

746
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,440
who you are, no matter where you fall on the spectrum,

747
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:47,559
you like some gun violence. But unfortunately some of you,

748
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:50,880
not many people listening to this, but some folks out

749
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,760
there don't want to take responsibility for doing it themselves.

750
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,639
They want to farm it out, They want to outsource

751
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,360
their safety. I want somebody else to do this. It's

752
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,880
not my job it is. It is absolutely your job

753
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,119
to protect yourself and your family. It's no one else's job,

754
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:14,320
someone else's responsibility. How dare you abdicate that responsibility? Your

755
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,119
family needs you, Your family loves you, They want you

756
00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:22,440
to be around. And oh yeah, by the way, shouldn't

757
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,239
you be responsible take some responsibilities for protecting your family members.

758
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,880
You teach the kids to look both ways before they

759
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,800
cross the street. Why wouldn't you do the bare minimum

760
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,920
of having some means of protecting them when someone wants

761
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,599
to kidnap them, rape them, or kill them. I don't know.

762
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,880
I don't understand the logic there. This was a country

763
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,159
that was born because the British came to take our guns.

764
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,320
Understand that there were a lot of things leading up

765
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,559
to that. Okay, but This whole thing got started because

766
00:42:54,599 --> 00:43:00,800
the British came to confiscate our guns and we shot them.

767
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:06,039
Simple as that, it's not a lesson that should be abandoned.

768
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:08,199
West might want to hold onto that idea of just

769
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:10,360
throwing some thoughts out to you. So if you want

770
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,119
to be a part of the further conversation, call me

771
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:14,000
right now. We'll get you into the after show. Give

772
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:15,840
me a call at Tom Talk gun In the meantime,

780
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,239
Be safe. Four rules of gun safety always no matter what,

781
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,000
no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing,

782
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,760
and four rules always apply in the meantime. Thanks to
