Speaker 1: Talk station, Talk Station, Happy Friday, Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: fifty five Carrise Morning Show. The man who created the
Speaker 1: Street Rescue Stolen Gun Recovery event. Charles Tassel, it's good
Speaker 1: to have you on the program. We got another event
Speaker 1: coming up, and wow, couldn't it come at a better
Speaker 1: time given these recent gun store robberies that are happening
Speaker 1: all over.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, thank you, Brian, happy to know it's You're exactly right,
Speaker 3: and that's exactly why we're doing it. Well.
Speaker 1: Remind my listeners the point of this. You aren't an
Speaker 1: anti gun organization necessarily. You're in partnership with the Baptist
Speaker 1: Ministries Association and the Progressive Baptist Church. The point of
Speaker 1: this is that they that the guns out on the
Speaker 1: street are quite often like a lending library. From the
Speaker 1: way you've described it before. There's like a gun, it's
Speaker 1: in a hidden location, and the gangsters or the bad
Speaker 1: guys or whoever knows where it is uses the gun
Speaker 1: on a temporary basis and then puts it back. So
Speaker 1: that's what we need to get rid of the illegal
Speaker 1: guns that are on the street.
Speaker 3: Are we calling community guns?
Speaker 1: Community gun that's it.
Speaker 3: That's it. And and you know, if somebody gets frissed
Speaker 3: and they have a gun on them, they go to jail.
Speaker 3: So the bad guys, it took them two seconds to
Speaker 3: figure that out. So they just hide the gun around
Speaker 3: the community and gain where they're at. And the problem
Speaker 3: is people in the community know where they're at, but
Speaker 3: there's kind of a little truspector of hey, let me
Speaker 3: go pick up this sketchy gun and bring it to
Speaker 3: a police officer or you know, then your fingerprints are
Speaker 3: on and everything else. So we set this up as
Speaker 3: a no questions asked opportunity to bring these bring these
Speaker 3: weapons in and sometimes we have you know, young ladies
Speaker 3: who have an ex boyfriend who's moved on, who's left
Speaker 3: something behind, and they're like, I don't know anything about this,
Speaker 3: I don't want it, I don't want it around me,
Speaker 3: I don't want to around my kids. So they'll they'll
Speaker 3: turn it in as well. And the whole point is
Speaker 3: is reduction of gun violence and not against guns. It's
Speaker 3: gun violence and really focusing on that piece of it.
Speaker 3: And that really kind of comes with the critical next
Speaker 3: step here, which is with these deaths that have occurred,
Speaker 3: there are over one hundred guns at the streets. These
Speaker 3: are new guns. A lot of them have been sold
Speaker 3: from what I'm hearing, very chiefly quickly, these these young
Speaker 3: teenagers did this and they're on the streets and people
Speaker 3: first thought, oh, I'm getting a deal on a gun whatever,
Speaker 3: and they and now they're realizing, oh, I've got stolen merchandise.
Speaker 3: They know, they know the serial numbers. So now I'm
Speaker 3: sitting on a fourth degree felony because I have possession
Speaker 3: of this thing. Yeah, so this is this is a way.
Speaker 3: And we're hearing from you know, we partnered with Gill
Speaker 3: Mallery a long time ago on this, and then the
Speaker 3: Baptist ministers they're hearing about this as well, and they're saying, look,
Speaker 3: we've got to get these out of community. There are
Speaker 3: people who have suddenly realized I'm you know, unbeknownst to me,
Speaker 3: I'm now in possession of stolen merchandise. I don't want
Speaker 3: the opportunity to get rid of it. So this is
Speaker 3: no questions asked atf police that now we're doing this.
Speaker 3: They're like, get the guns out of there, get those
Speaker 3: illegal guns back. We need to get them back to
Speaker 3: the rightful owners.
Speaker 1: Indeed, well, it's highly unlikely that I suppose a person
Speaker 1: who actually went and stole the committed the crime and
Speaker 1: stole those weapons will be turning it in. They're more
Speaker 1: likely to sell it. As you point out the recipient
Speaker 1: of the gun. Maybe in your home. You could be
Speaker 1: a homeowner. You have a son or even daughter. I
Speaker 1: suppose that got one of these guns. Maybe you know
Speaker 1: about it. You want to get rid of it. You
Speaker 1: don't want your child to be in trouble, but you
Speaker 1: know you don't want them to have a firearm either.
Speaker 1: That'd be a great thing, I guess, Charles. I'm worried
Speaker 1: about folks who don't have any familiarity with a handgun.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking of handguns now, of course, but it
Speaker 1: could be a long gun too. But they don't want
Speaker 1: to even touch it. Maybe they don't know how to
Speaker 1: load or unload it. They're afraid. What about the status
Speaker 1: of the gun as loaded or unloaded. For those complete
Speaker 1: novices out there that know about where one of these might.
Speaker 3: Be, well, a couple of things. One We're happy to
Speaker 3: come pick it up, call us we can. We can
Speaker 3: address that side of it. We've done that a number
Speaker 3: of times and gone to folks's house. Hey, no problem,
Speaker 3: will take care of it. Safety is the first priority.
Speaker 3: As with any weapon, safety is always the first priority.
Speaker 3: But then the next step is this isn't really folks
Speaker 3: who you know, the kids who did the thefts, they're
Speaker 3: they're already in jail. This is about the hundred plus
Speaker 3: guns that hit the street because of their thefts, and
Speaker 3: people who unknowingly ended up in the situation where they're like,
Speaker 3: I am sitting on an illegal or you know, stolen weapon.
Speaker 3: How do I get rid of this? How do I
Speaker 3: become legal again? And that's really what we're focused on
Speaker 3: this time. You know, we're we're open to any community
Speaker 3: guns being brought in anytime, but really this is kind
Speaker 3: of a pressure relief stout for the community to go
Speaker 3: Let's let's go legal. Let's get these ones that we're stolen,
Speaker 3: get them turned in, and let's sake it. We get Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's this group of kids that lily stole cars, drove
Speaker 3: them into gun story. You know, they've got enough issues
Speaker 3: on their own. We don't need to add to it
Speaker 3: by putting a bunch of more people in jail and
Speaker 3: adding a bunch more fourth degree felonies out there on people.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'd rather have the gun off the street. That's
Speaker 1: what the police are in accord with this. It's better
Speaker 1: to get the gun off the street than to chase
Speaker 1: down felony four conviction. I completely agree with you on that. Now,
Speaker 1: what time is the event, where is it taking place?
Speaker 1: And is there a website where we can get the
Speaker 1: words spread out so I can put that on my
Speaker 1: blog page.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so on our Facebook site, which is Street Rescue.
Speaker 3: Since since the Street Rescue, we've got that posted up there.
Speaker 3: But it's six thirteen Prospect Place, which is Progressive Baptist
Speaker 3: Church in Cincinnati and it's right in writing area, right
Speaker 3: down off Reading Road, adam Dale. It's from ten am
Speaker 3: until one pm against Progressive Baptist Church or Progressive Missionary
Speaker 3: Baptist Church as they call it, six thirteen Prospect Place,
Speaker 3: and that's Saturday morning. You know, no questions asked, there's
Speaker 3: no cameras, there's no there's no gotches. Pastor Larry Holly
Speaker 3: is there and the Duchess ministers have spoken on this
Speaker 3: and are in unison on support of this, and this
Speaker 3: is the first time we've really partnered with them on this.
Speaker 3: And I will mention you mentioned about gun safety going on.
Speaker 3: We actually do provide gun safety training as well. Oh
Speaker 3: that's one and certificates of people you know, if somebody
Speaker 3: wants to get trained and says, you know, I've got
Speaker 3: something that I get rid of, but I also want
Speaker 3: to learn how to do it hand us correctly, properly. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: we fully support that.
Speaker 1: That's great. That is great because there are certainly a
Speaker 1: lot of legitimate reasons people might want a firearm to
Speaker 1: use for their own personal self defense, their home defense,
Speaker 1: and so that is gun safety is paramount importance in
Speaker 1: my life as well. All right, so get my listeners
Speaker 1: real quick here, Charles Tassel, and I can't thank you
Speaker 1: enough for doing this is such an important event. What
Speaker 1: have your numbers reflected over the years. How many guns
Speaker 1: have you gotten off the street through these rescue programs?
Speaker 3: Well, we've done over one hundred guns that come in
Speaker 3: over the years. And I don't even know how much
Speaker 3: ammunition we literally, you know, you get partial boxes ammunition
Speaker 3: that somebody has found, like I said, in a mailbox,
Speaker 3: you know, house that's been vacant and open, and those
Speaker 3: are brought in that Brian, I will always remember the
Speaker 3: first one I held. And there's a gentleman walking down
Speaker 3: the street with a shotgun on his shoulder. You over
Speaker 3: the rhine and I'm like, oh, this is really happening. Okay,
Speaker 3: And you know he says, this was found between two
Speaker 3: walls right inside this right inside the steak and building. Okay,
Speaker 3: not a problem. And you know, no questions asked. We
Speaker 3: take those in. And we've had a variety of types
Speaker 3: of weapons, everything from you know, BB guns that had
Speaker 3: the little orange tips removed. And I've had moms very
Speaker 3: concerned that you know, their their childhood, you know, snuck
Speaker 3: a gun in the house and all that too. You know,
Speaker 3: some larger weapons that were loaded and you know, stashed
Speaker 3: behind garbage scans kind of thing. So it's been We've
Speaker 3: seen all kinds of things come in and really it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what it is. A bottom have. You know,
Speaker 3: sometimes they get serial numbers that are spread off them
Speaker 3: or ground off them. That's very common, no questions asked,
Speaker 3: bring it in, We'll take care of it. And like
Speaker 3: you know, when the serial numbers are off of those have.
Speaker 1: To be destroyed, absolutely, And it's one can only imagine
Speaker 1: the lives that have been saved by the the hundred
Speaker 1: or so guns you've already gotten off the street. So
Speaker 1: wonderful idea, The concept is great. Nobody knows asking questions.
Speaker 1: Just get it out, get it off the street, show
Speaker 1: up between ten am and one pm. Six thirteen Prospect Places, Saturday. Charles,
