Every week we produce four uncensored episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast exclusively at TimCast.com and we're going to bring you the most important for our weekend show. If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com. Now enjoy the show. our friends over at Rumble. They don't have the same kind of studio monitor system that YouTube does that shows us the live and then you press go live. So we press go live with our broadcasting software. And then I actually just don't know if we're live or not. So I just start talking. But, you know, the assumption is we are. And so here we are. And we're going to talk about we got this crazy story about from the Daily Mail exclusive. Chicago inmates claim jail guards are

pressuring them to illegally vote in the mayoral election. Well, how about that one? So, Serge is currently not in the room. I don't know where he's at. But he'll press the buttons when he gets back, I'm pretty sure. Check out this story, and then we can just leave it here and start talking about it. So, you get Donald Trump, you get Republicans, MAGA,

everybody's talking about illegally voting and all that stuff and the concerns about elections. There's a viral video coming from the Cary Lake camp of a guy saying he's spending his own time and money trying to get to the bottom of this election stuff because he cares about this country. Take a look at this story. Chicago inmates have claimed they are being pressured to illegally vote in the city's mayoral election. The inmates, some of whom are accused of murder, argued guards at Cook County Jail were pushing them to vote despite some of them being registered in a different jurisdiction. They claimed the guards were receiving orders from higher ups and were, quote, just doing what I'm told when confronted over the move. It comes amid fears of ballot harvesting as insiders claimed the jail was the ideal environment due to no cameras or election observers.

Holy shit. It also raised concerns it could propel Lori Lightfoot back into office despite her languishing on just 13% in the polls. They're outright saying they're ballot harvesting in prisons to support the Democrat candidate in Chicago. I, when I heard this, I thought this, I was like, okay, prisoners are saying this. Let's investigate. But apparently the guards acknowledged that, yes, they're doing what they were told in their attempt to ballot harvest. Who told them? I just kind of feel like, you know, I say it all the time.

The night is always darkest before the dawn. What that really means is shit's going to hit the fan and you better be ready to start rebuilding because work is gonna be hard yeah hard times hard times are coming so i hope you guys have downloaded some survival guides gotten out of the cities it is kind of crazy to me how many people will say stuff like i've not gotten out of the city because it's too difficult and i'm kind of like maybe like i get that it difficult, but I know a lot of people who got out of cities and have really cut their costs. Quality of life went down a little bit, but I mean, look, if you want to live in the city and you want to wait for whatever the fuck is coming to come, I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, man.

Do your thing. But I don't know. What do you think? Do you think get out of the cities? Where are you? Are you in the cities? I mean, I almost moved to downtown Detroit back, you know, when I was looking for a house originally because it was up and coming at the time. There were good deals.

They had all these loft apartments, and they were doing some cool things down there. And in retrospect, I'm so glad I didn't do that. I managed to find a couple acres of property in a good city in an area where I would never be able to afford it now. It just happened to be the end of the housing crash. It was like 2010 where we were just starting to come back up from the housing crash. So I wish I had 40 acres 20 miles further west of where I'm at. But yeah, man, you just can't imagine the amount of chaos that would happen in even a short time. I mean, right now, Michigan had a bad weather storm last week. And my neighbor hasn't had power for six days at this point, seven days.

He's running on a generator. That's fine. But when you do that in a major metropolitan area with high-rise apartment buildings, and not everybody can just go plug a generator in. Everybody's on city water. Everybody's on city sewer. That's going to be a fucking nightmare.

And if you think, this is what I suggest everybody read who lives in a city. You need to read a book called Shit Hits the Fan Stories by Selko Begovic. You can buy it on Amazon. This guy lived in Bosnia during the Bosnian Civil War, and it's basically just a diary of all the things that he saw, and it's fucking unreal.

I mean, he'll start a story off with, I heard a song on the radio today and it reminded me of when I was trapped in this building because I was like out searching for food. And this roving band of people came in. So I had to hide under some rubble. And I sat there for two days while they raped four women and all i could hear was them screaming and then they killed him and they kept playing this song uh on their walkman as they were doing it and he's like now every time i hear that song on the radio that's the only thing i can think of it's like that's the kind of world that you guys are going to like. The people, anti-gun people are so funny to me because they just don't understand how the world works without guns, right?

Like, why did we develop guns? We developed guns because at some point, some small caveman got sick of getting his ass kicked by the big caveman and he picked up a rock and he fucking hit him in the head and he killed him with it. And then eventually he decided I can hit him from with this rock from 10 feet away and it's much safer. And then I can sharpen this rock and put it at the end of a stick and I can hit him from 50 yards away. Like then eventually took certain parts of core elements of a rock, melted them all together to make a very small, small, small, very fast rock. Exactly.

Like this is like human beings are different than apes because our shoulders are designed to throw objects. That's a specific functional difference in the design of our shoulder capsule versus primates. Theirs were meant to hang more, and ours were meant to wind up and throw things. It's built into our dna so the point is like if you don't have a gun when the shit hits the fan and you're small or incapable or whatever like you're going to be the first to die guns that's just the modernized rock throwing correct exactly it's like the story i read the story exactly yeah i was talking about how first i got picked up a rock and hit somebody with it then he threw the rock then they put small rocks on the ends of sticks and started throwing the sticks.

Then they got the bow and arrow. All about taking rocks. Eventually get to the point where we're smelting metals and we're making different kinds of rocks. And a gun takes a tiny, small, dense piece of matter and propels it. Real fast rock. I think about that and I'm like, then what's the next level? If we went from picking up rock and throwing it to bow and arrow spear whatever and now we're at a combustion propelled rock spinning it for accuracy and then ripping it through someone's body yeah what's the next level in rock throw i mean there's

guys working on that there's a guy uh that was at the guns and bitcoin conference that was working on like piso electric primers he's trying to because primers primers are always have always been the the one chink in the supply chain right it's very hard to they're very hard to make and so because it's it's real chemistry they're very small you got to make them and uh they're very precise it's it's just not something your average person can make the chemicals needed the chemical compounds are harder than say just standard smokeless powder like lead azide and stuff it's nasty chemicals they're they're very volatile but all you need to do is ignite the yeah you need to you need to ignite the powder so he he was uh this is his twitter handle is suckaboy tony and he was like you know i i made this twitter handle before i

ever thought i was going to be doing anything important so now i'm like i'm developing this stuff my name is like suck boy tony really really cool guy. But anyway, he was, yeah, he's developing a piece of electric primers trying to get like electronic ignition. And so then, you know, the next evolution is, I don't know, Elon invents some kind of laser gun that's solar powered and I'm going to want that then. And that's going to invalidate all the previous gun laws because they're all designed around, you know, powder and combustion and projectiles. I think ballistics will stick around, though, because even in space combat, we'll have electric weaponry that'll be absorbable by shields,

and then we'll need ballistics that shields can't stop. It'll be a long time before we can get fully away from ballistics. I agree. And it's funny, the word ballistic has ball at the very center, which is ballistic. Here's what it's going to be. We're going to teleport the rock right into their body. And then pull it back to you very quickly?

Yeah. So it'll just be like you'll have this canister you're holding on the sides with the bullet in it. And you'll aim it and click it. And it'll just warp in and out. And the person will just collapse. Collapse. What's the modern-day bayonet? You know how we used to need bayonets

because eventually you get into close combat? Is there something that will eventually drop off? Most people in the military, I mean, yeah, if you talk to real military people, they'll tell you like, if you're using your handgun, like you've got real problems.

So how many people get stabbed in modern combat? Not many, aside from like a very particular circumstance where you have to be quiet and making noise would be a bad thing, or you're literally on your last ditch effort. But I don't think they even issue bayonets anymore. No, I just meant like what's a technology that they will take off of guns? Like we don't need it anymore. Well, optics are changing so um

for example like i you know a lot of people don't have iron sights on their rifles anymore because iron sights are like you know the standard like the post and you got to line up you know so now everything is modern optics where you have like a red dot or a scope or something like that and the technology on those is getting robust enough that they can survive excessive forces and being dropped. The batteries are lasting longer. Some of them are powered by fiber optics and solar. So you're getting away from batteries entirely. So there are a lot of people that don't – like there's sort of this movement and people are, well, you've got to have backup sites because what happens if your optic breaks?

And then the other half is like, well, even if the optic breaks, I can still see through the glass. And so if you train that way and you know that the glass and the optic is this big, and I know that from here to that door, let's say, if I see the guy in the window, I'm going to pull the trigger. Do I hit him exactly where I want to? No. But if it's two inches high, it's not that big of a deal from 15 feet. Have you seen the show Last of Us?

No, I haven't. You know what it's about? Yeah, I know the premise of it. Yeah. So it's like, I think it's what, 20 years after? It's the cordyceps mushroom. And it takes place, I think, like 20 years after civilization has collapsed. And so there's a scene where he's got some kind of ar yeah and he stores it you know in the floor of some abandoned building

and ellie the chick she's like why and he's like not a lot of ammo for these things these days so he's just getting rid of it i'm curious as somebody who makes ammo what would happen if society broke down to this degree how hard would it be for you to make ammo for a modern rifle? Like, let's say you needed to make a 5.56. Would you be able to do it on your own? No. I mean, functionally, no. You know, just the tech...

Primers. Yeah, you can't make the primer. You can't make the smokeless powder. I mean, again, that's real chemistry. You're talking about... You're gonna be using one of those motherfuckers over there. Oh, the musklet. The muzzle-loaded Civil War musket that I got.

Yeah, like you can make black powder. Have we ever showed that on the show? You would go back to black powder. I don't know. That's what you would do. Because we're not allowed to show it on YouTube, I don't think. That's so crazy. I'll go grab it.

It's a nice little weapon. Talk about guns, I'll grab it. I mean, it would take a while for us to get through. When you think there's like 100 million gun owners in the United States, about 30% of the population. And if that 100 million gun owners each collectively owns only 100 rounds of ammunition, that's a billion rounds, right? Where is it? Is that camera off? Yeah, I'll turn that one on. Yeah, turn that one on. So, you know, in the hands of the civilian population in the United States, there's likely more than a trillion rounds of ammunition would be the low-end estimate.

If there was a situation where the population, like if society had fallen, we can't manufacture ammo, how much, how many dollars, assuming the dollar's worth what it's worth right now, today on February 27th, 2023, how many dollars would a bullet be worth? I mean, if there's no supply left? Yeah, no one had bullets. I mean, at that point, the question isn't how many dollars is it worth? The question is how many Bic lighters is it worth? How many cans of sardines is it worth? I mean, again, read shit hits the fan stories

and you'll kind of get what I'm saying because that's the reality of it. Like these guys were bartering. This is the Bosnian Civil War. I mean, this this occurred in Sarajevo, which hosted the Olympics only four or five years prior to a literal full out civil war. So it's a good measure for what you could expect to see in an American city because it was pretty much a first world city when it was going on. And so that's what he talks about is like the value of something is only what it's worth. And so if you're starving and hungry, then a bullet is worth nothing, but a chocolate bar is worth everything. Were people trading bullets in Syria?

Yeah, they were. And, you know, that country didn't have the same proliferation of weapons that we have here. So some people had weapons, some people didn't. But they were trading everything for everything. I mean, they were trading sex, they were trading companionship, they were trading ammunition, food, whatever it took. And that was like a lot of his stories are him meeting up for somebody to trade something for something.

And the lesson is like you have to understand what you're getting yourself into if you're like you never bring everything you have to the meeting because that's when you get killed right i mean that's when they see that you're the guy with 15 cans of sardines and so yeah you do the trade and then they follow you back to your place and then they fucking kill you that uh that is a rifled musket it's's a model 1861, I think it is. Rifled musket, muzzle loaded,.50 cal. I think it's never been fired before. That rifle was surplus Union military.

And so they had like 10,000 of them made, put them in storage, never got to use them. The war ended. And now there's a bunch of these that float around. I was able to get one at an shop they're pretty cool but uh in the event i was reading about it because i also have this thing behind me which is uh it's real yeah it's a it's a it's a real i don't i don't like i'm not gonna tell youtube that i guess but uh antique firearm it's a it's not it's legally classified that way but it's actually a modern sporting muzzle loaded 50 50 caliber luke got it for me for my birthday and it's not classified as a gun so it is real but it's not legally a gun right the crazy thing it came by like usps yeah it is

legally classified as antique even though it's used firearm it was made because of the technology right yeah it was silencer co was trying to I don't think that they have it anymore, but they were selling basically a muzzleloader musket with an, but this is the best part, with an integrated silencer. And because it was all one piece, they could legally ship it to your house. Yeah. Because the definition of silencer didn't include, you know, like they looked, I can't remember exactly what the language was, but more or less you could sell it directly to somebody. Well, so I started looking up how would you make black powder in the event shit hits the fan. And it's like bat shit.

Yeah. And so like, what is it? It's bat shit. That was in the anarchist. I mean, what do you need? Anarchist cookbook. Anarchist Peter or something like that? Yeah.

Salt Peter. Monium nitrate. Yeah. Monium nitrate. Yeah, monium nitrate. I mean, yeah, back in my misspent youth, that was the big thing in the 90s. That was like the first book. Yeah, sulfur, I think. That was like the first book. Potassium permanganate, maybe.

It's not like it's easy, but it's something a single person can do. Yeah, you can do it for sure. Yeah, we used to get, yeah, that was the big thing. What's smokeless powder made of, though? You couldn't do that, right? You couldn't. I mean, again, that's like real chemistry. Crazy.

Just no way to do it. But if you had, if you found an old rifled musket, you could make the black powder and you could make some rudimentary firearm. You could make a single shot firearm. You know what the first revolver was it was muzzle loaded uh muzzle loaded six muzzle loaded and you'd yep muzzle load the the cylinder whatever and then you you would fire it flint flintlock rotate it and then rotate it it might have been percussion cap but i think it might have been flintlock actually you would have no it had to be percussion cap and you would hand rotate it you'd fire and then you'd spin it and then you'd fire then you'd

spin it and then there were uh back in the 1300s they had what i what i referred to as fully automatic but i had a bunch of gun nuts be like it's not fully automatic so that's not what it means of course what they would do is they would have like 12 barrels they would all be muzzle loaded right and then a single pole would fire all of them. And I'm like, that's close enough to full auto. You know what I'm trying to say? You know,

come on. You know, but they were like, no, that's not. I mean, when all the ammunition is running, it runs out,

then people are going to be killing each other with like potato guns. You know, they're going to put a heavy object into a tube of some kind with any kind of propellant. I mean, again,

that's what we did when we were kids. You put used, you know, hairspray and some PVC tubes. The rubber band guns, too. Yeah, rubber band guns. Yeah, that's like the most... Rubber band.

We have those downstairs where you put the rubber bands and it's a full auto or it's semi-automatic. You can go click, click, click and it fires all the rubber bands at people. How do the potato guns work? I mean, it's just a PVC tube. You put a potato in one end, you cap off the other end and then you have a hole where you use like hairspray or something that's flammable but not like particularly explosive

let's say and uh you light it with a match and it it expands gases expand and it propels the potato tennis ball or whatever you want tyler smith says larping with a musket larping i bought an antique i bought an antique i like ant an antique. I like antiques. Uh, but someone also, uh, let me, let me make sure I get your name in here. Uh,

who, who suggested this lynch mob says compound bow. You can always reuse arrows. Yeah. Yeah. So I actually last year, I used to, we have a couple of compound bows and we have a compound.

We have some recurve. We have some composites. I have a hunger, Hungarian traditional composite bow and it's just like you know it's weak as shit you know what i mean small but the uh the compound i used to go up and i i actually got pretty good not knowing what the fuck i was doing with that thing and you know probably the the sights didn't work or anything so it was never calibrated properly but i could stand on the balcony and this is probably like what do you think that is 150 yards

to the target yeah something like that yeah maybe 100 yards 100 yards and i could hit like i could hit a six inch target maybe like one in four with a compound bow the uh the the what do we have like we have oh no no the six inch target i could hit like every time we had a smaller one that i hit like one in four and it would bing and actually was i'd go out every morning and i would just fire off a bunch of arrows that it was awesome that was so much fun maybe school should start requiring kids to do like an archery course instead of gym class my high school did they used to have gun class they used to have i mean like like 4-H still does.

Like there are shooting teams and stuff, but it would be harder to get guns in public schools. But like my public high school did archery as like in lieu of gym. It's like basics of self-defense. There are public schools in Detroit that had gun ranges like in the basement. It used to be a part.

I mean, I learned how to shoot in Cub Scouts. Did you see the Australian guy who had a gun range in the basement it used to be a part i mean i learned how to shoot uh in cub scouts did you see the australian guy who had a gun range in his basement that was awesome yeah whoa man like yeah in his basement he had a thing that like the like a couch lifted up yeah went underground shooting tunnel arsenal and they caught him and i guess he's not going to jail they just find him and took his shit from his guns yeah i know a guy who's in the construction industry and he built a a indoor range in the basement of a some you know four million dollar house or whatever and they dug along like it was only maybe 25 yards i think but yeah they it's all all concrete so it's pretty much soundproof and it's in his don't you need to like go in the tunnel to fix it and clean it periodically and

stuff um yeah i don't know exactly how he designed it particularly but depending on the trap i mean like it's all about volume i mean you know your gun range traps taking hundreds of thousands of bullets a month and so that there's a lot of maintenance but like a rubber bullet trap is pretty i've got a rubber bullet trap in my garage that i'll use uh unofficially to test things and it's basically just a garbage can full of rubber playground mulch it costs me like 50 bucks to build. Really? It'll stop everything up to like 30 out six. Oh, wow. So you just, do you actually use rubber bullets in testing? No, no, it's real bullets, but it's hitting rubber. That's what's at the end of like the,

the berms. It's basically just rubber playground mulch in a lot of cases. And it slows down the, the bullet. If you have a you know enough depth is there any way to reuse a bullet i mean theoretically if it was completely un you know if you if you shot it into sand or rubber or something where it was completely undeformed i mean it would have rifling in it from the barrel you shot it through so you know could you reload that and shoot it again yeah i mean I mean, what would your accuracy be? Who knows? But if you needed to do it to shoot somebody at 10 feet, you know, right.

Shotguns are more fun. Yeah. I have this little single shot pistol that has no rifling in the barrel at all. And it was kind of designed by this weird guy. It's really cool, actually. I bought it just from the novelty but yeah at 20 feet i would i mean i'm not gonna stand in front of it exotic shotgun shells are just way better and way more fun like i am keeping like so you light the range on fire

which is well i mean don't drag that was dragon's breath luke bought some and we went to the range when it was covered in snow because like you know you know, you don't want to take a drag when it's dry out. Yeah, for those unfamiliar. Or an indoor range ever. It's a shotgun shell. It's full of magnesium, I think. Right. So it sprays flaming metal.

Right. It's pretty badass. Yeah. We ordered a bunch of exotic rounds a while ago, and they've got, what is it called? Lachey or something? Like fleche rounds. Fleche rounds, that's one. Yeah, saber rounds.

Yeah, it's like blades, right? Little darts or blades. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it's a shotgun shell full of blades and needles, and you shoot them, and it just sticks. Oh, man. It's fleche, not flechette.

I think it's fleche. I could be wrong. I'm not sure. It's French. It's French, so I think it's fleche. I've been thinking about getting a shotgun. There's a bunch of weird shit you can get. I think shotgun's flechette. I could be wrong. I'm not. It's French. It's French. So I think it's flechette. I've been thinking about getting a bunch of weird shit you can get. I think shotgun's the way to go. Is it that they don't care about the NFA and all that shit?

You don't want a shotgun, bro. Yeah, shotguns. The methodology on that is changing. It used to be, oh, get a shotgun because you got a big spread. Here's the deal. At about 30 feet, the spread out of a shotgun with double out buckshot is only maybe about three inches it's not as big as you think it is and 30 feet is longer than the hallway and most people i mean my house i've got a kind of like an open floor plan house and end to end it's only maybe

35 feet so the spread isn't as big as and the recoil the recoil is pretty bad semi-auto shotguns aren't terrible but the recoil is tough the round count is low you know a semi-auto shotguns aren't terrible, but the recoil is tough. The round count is low. You know, a semi-auto shotgun is going to have maybe 6 plus 1, 8 plus 1. They're heavy and they're long and they're unwieldy. I mean, really what you want is a short-barreled rifle, which is why the NFA needs to be repealed. It shouldn't exist. We know we're regulating modern firearms based on a law that was written in the 1930s for your house would you rather have like uh like a remington 12 gauge or would you rather have like a ruger 1022 i mean given those two i'd probably take the me personally i would take the shotgun for sure

because i've trained with a shotgun single shot probably ends it yeah i'm thinking about like if i have a shotgun in my house oh i'm sorry you said single well then i'm taking the ruger 1022 no no i'm saying you finish them you finish the job with one shot yeah but but like you're gonna have like six shells whereas the ruger 1022 you could have like 30 maybe 60 yeah i mean if you're crazy you have like a hundred round drum which probably gonna jam i'd imagine but i'm thinking about if i have a gun in my house something that anybody could pick up and probably use without really worrying about it, and you've got 30 rounds in a Ruger 10-22, you're going to – I feel like the average person defending – You could probably deal with that.

Yeah. Like people don't realize when Biden was like, get a shotgun, fire it in the air, like a fucking idiot. The average person who's – they think shotguns are like good home defense. It's like you better be ready for a buckshot recoil it's not the same plus the noise like i can tell you this as somebody who has fired a shotgun inside of an enclosed space with no hearing protection um you're fucked i mean it like yeah and again that's why we should be deregulating suppressors that's why i've got a suppressor on my the rifle that i've got in in my bedroom because when i shoot somebody i'm gonna have to call the cops and i'm gonna have to be able to hear them i'm gonna have to be able to take direction i may have to communicate with the person i just shot

my family my neighbors who knows this is the thing people don't understand like uh i'm watching yellowstone because i have to make sure everybody knows but there's a scene where someone shoots a horse and he just walks up pulls out a gun and shoots it right there with like no hearing protection or anything and it's like i get he's outside sure but still you're it's like it's still loud outside yeah and indoors i mean it's absolutely deafening i mean you can't even imagine what's what's your ideal uh ideal home defense would it be short barreled rifle nine millimeter frangible or something like that yeah uh, not frangible. 55 grain 223 is designed to fragment. I mean, 55 grain standard FMJ 55 grain 223 will penetrate fewer walls than a nine millimeter.

And you'd rather use that inside your house? Yeah. It's like the little bit more powerful, like it's not going to go through the walls. Do you think it's a better choice? Oh, yeah. I mean, I have our Phoenix ammo grain uh home defense round in mind but same thing i mean the velocity uh at hallway distance is going to be almost muzzle velocity so 2600 feet per second it's going to tumble and fragment i mean it's going to that's a lot right oh yeah

it's very it's high i've got like 40 like 1911 and 45, and it's very slow. Oh, yeah. Pistols are pistols. Rifles are rifles. I mean, that's the mantra. But, you know, like a 20-inch barrel AR, it's coming out at like 3,100 feet per second. So extremely fast. That's going to cavitate, isn't it?

It can cause, yeah. I mean, everything's going to cavitate to a degree. It depends on the size of the cavitation. But what you want is like, the important thing is 55 grain FMJ 223 will not tumble and fragment reliably under like 23 to 2400 feet per second. So that's the number. If you shorten the barrel too much, then you lose too much velocity. So there's a middle ground. But again, inside your house at 30 feet, if you have a 10-inch barrel AR, that's fine.

Is that going to be great out to 400 yards? Probably not. I mean, can you hit a target at 400 yards? I have. So it's not the end of the world. It's not ideal. I got a Bolt Action 17 Super Mag. And the guys at the shop told me that it's for critters.

And it vaporizes them. Oh, yeah. When it hits them, it's such high velocity that red mist erupts. They just blow up. They blow up. We use – Poor fucking thing. I want to get the fever out of my yard.

I don't want to blow it up. Yeah. Well, it's out of your yard. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. What do you think is the biggest misconception people who are afraid of guns or don't like guns have about the industry? About the industry or about gun owners?

About gun owners, either one. I would say, like, you know, the comment I hear a lot from people on the anti-gun side is, what are you so afraid of that's making you carry a gun every day? Like, you must live in fear because you carry a gun everywhere. And real quick before I say that, just say to them, be like, I don't know, day like like you just you you must live in fear because you carry a gun everywhere and you know it's an easy say that yeah just say to him be like i don't know i saw this video of this guy you ever hear george floyd and i was just like wow yeah i don't want to get george floyd it's it's an easy argument to win because um and like i i can talk about that it's a whole different

discussion but that's uh it's an easy argument to win because you say well you have a spare tire in your car what are you so afraid of you know you've got a fire extinguisher in your house what are you so you must live in fear every day every day of your house burning down it's like i i don't i don't fear anywhere that i go and it's not just because i'm carrying a gun it's because i'm you know i i do plenty of other things that that i i uh hope makes me prepared you know i have a med kit in my truck like there's there's many other things that I hope makes me prepared. You know, I have a med kit in my truck. Like, there's many more things that you, like, carrying a gun makes you aware of more than just the fact that you have a gun. You tend to be a little bit more aware of your surroundings.

And it's just something that becomes ingrained in your head. So I think that's the biggest misconception, is that people who carry guns are somehow afraid of something. Or or like, oh, you just can't wait to shoot somebody. I've heard some people say that they feel like they're inviting violence. Like if you bring a gun, then you yourself. I think of it exactly the opposite. I mean, I can tell you that like when I'm carrying a gun, the last thing that I'm going to do is get involved in some petty fight with some idiot over a parking space or, you know, the last Xbox at Walmart or something, because I know that I'm going to be the one who's looked at as the bad guy, whether I pulled my gun or not.

That's what's going to be the headline is gun owner gets in a fight in the Walmart. And that's all that you're ever going to hear about. CPL holders. This is true. I think it's true nationwide, but there was actually a study that confirmed this in Texas and in Florida. People who have a concealed pistol license are the most law-abiding group of people in the entire United States, and that includes police officers. People with a concealed pistol license commit fewer crimes than police officers. So this idea that getting a concealed pistol license means that you're just going to like wild west it and you can't wait to shoot somebody and get into a gunfight is just absurd.

There's no data to support it. And that's why most of the gun control arguments are emotional, not fact-based. And they probably come from people who have no experience with guns. They don't have friends with guns. They don't have any experience with guns and never been around and I mean and like, you know understand I didn't really I grew up with guns in the sense that I shot guns When I was like in Cub Scouts, but my parents were not gun owners I mean, I wasn't allowed to play violent video games, you know, I wasn't allowed to play Mortal Kombat

I went over to my friend's house and played it there. But, you know, I wasn't allowed to watch pro wrestling. They didn't want me to watch violent movies. So I didn't like grow up in this culture of violence or something. And yet you started a gun company. But this is what,

when I moved into my first apartment and I started dating my first like real serious girlfriend, I decided like, and I was working in downtown Detroit for this insurance company in the,

you know, all the manufacturing companies are in the worst areas of Detroit. And I just decided like, I have to be not just responsible for myself, but there's other people that I'm now responsible for. Like, you know, I'm not going to be the one to be caught unaware with, you know, this woman that I'm dating who is now going to expect me to be able to handle the situation, or I hope she does. I hope that's why she's attracted to me

is that she thinks I can take care of her if I have to and I want my family to feel that way and I want my friends. To me, the worst scenario possible is to be a capable adult human male that is unable to help somebody in a terrible situation. Whether that's somebody broken down on the side of the road. I mean, I stopped and helped pull somebody out of a ditch the other day in my truck because I had a tow rope and it took me five minutes. So that's the way that I see,

that's how I got into gun culture in the beginning. It wasn't because I played Call of Duty or my parents were in the military. It was a protection instinct. Yeah, it was a protection instinct. I've never hunted in my life. I have to right now actually record for Freedom Tunes. So we'll have to wrap it up here.

Being called away, you big star. Fauci's in the news. And Seamus hit me up and I have a responsibility. But we went for about a half an hour. So it's been a blast talking about guns and hanging out.
