SPEAKERS

Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2

Evan Nappen 00:16

I’m Evan Nappen.

Teddy Nappen 00:18

And I’m Teddy Nappen.

Evan Nappen 00:20

And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Well, I’m happy to be back.

Teddy Nappen 00:26

You’re alive.

Evan Nappen 00:27

I’m alive. I had a nice getaway to Italy and other countries in the Mediterranean where I was able to

walk where the ancients walked and enjoy that, that area. Man, I’ll tell you one thing they got right there

is espresso. Oh, boy! Do they have espresso down right. I love that. But anyway, I also came back with

a little cold, as you can tell. So, I’m gonna be talking a little bit funny today.

Teddy Nappen 01:05

Apparelty, you smoked too many Cuban cigars.

Evan Nappen 01:12

Well, gotta do what you gotta do. Luckily, it didn’t happen till I got back. So, yeah, we did go up to

Mount Aetna there, and both the mountain and I were smoking. That was pretty good. You know,

there’s a very interesting and mind expanding things that I’ll be talking about on the show, particularly

regarding weapons and things happening from the ancients that apply to today. And I’m sure we’ll get

into some of those things in later shows. But today, it’s very important, because the ballot is stronger

than the bullet. And do you know who said that? I’ll tell you who said that. Abraham Lincoln said the

ballot is stronger than the bullet, and he’s right, it is. We are now dealing with that very scenario in New

Jersey, because we have this critical Governor’s race taking place between (Jack) Ciattarelli (R) and

Page – 1 – of 10(Mikie) Sherril (D). And it couldn’t be any starker in the differences when it comes to the Second

Amendment.

Evan Nappen 01:12

Yeah, that didn’t help. That didn’t help. But hey.

Teddy Nappen 01:14

Too many Cuban cigars.

Evan Nappen 02:36

The Democrat, Sherrill, not surprisingly, is, of course, a Second Amendment oppressionist. You know,

looking to oppress our rights to continue in the Murphy tradition of Second Amendment oppression.

And on the other side, we have Ciattarelli, who is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. We

can see a night and day difference. So, in case you didn’t know, it is critical to get out and vote. Please

make sure that you vote. I know you hear it all the time and maybe get sick of hearing it. But I cannot

emphasize how important this opportunity is. We now have a chance to turn New Jersey around. We’ve

been suffering oppression under Murphy for years and now is an opportunity to turn that around. And

let me tell you, we have a great shot at doing it.

Evan Nappen 03:46

First of all, you need to know that Sherril, the Democrat, has been endorsed by every major anti-gun,

you know, gun rights oppression organization, including Every Town for Gun Safety. Yeah, right. Moms

Demand Action, Giffords pack, and the Brady pack, just to name some of the folks that are backing her

candidacy. And that should tell you just about everything you need to know. She’s come out and made

statements about folks carrying firearms. Finding it unconscionable in terms of untrained and

unchecked individuals carrying. Well, that is hardly what New Jersey is. As a matter of fact, it’s the

opposite. They are thoroughly and completely vetted and trained. In which, in order to even get a permit

to carry, you have to pass CCARE and prove your proficiency and training along with knowledge of use

of force. All of the above. So, she has no clue other than following the oppressionists’ agenda, and she

has, not surprisingly, earned an “F” rating from the NRA Political Victory Fund. And NRA has declared

her a gun ban extremist.

Evan Nappen 05:33

And on the other side of the coin, we have Jack (Ciattarelli), generally, who is the opposite. And

remember, it’s not just his position as Governor, but he also then can have his Attorney General. And

we can get rid of Platkin and his crew of gun rights oppressionists that focus on litigating firearms out of

existence and pursuing every cockamamie scheme they can come up with to try to limit our

Constitutional rights. This is critical. You know, about four years ago or so, when Ciattarelli ran, he only

lost by about 84,000 votes, and he is coming on strong now. He has tremendous momentum, and I

believe that the gun rights issue will be one of the major things that can help put him over the top. If gun

owners would not be apathetic and actually get their asses out and vote, we can help to take our rights

back. It is critical. Please, please, please. Make sure that you do your part. This is an opportunity. How

many times do I hear gun owners say to me, what can I do to help? What can I do to fight? What can I

do? What can I do? What can I do, like that? That’s a good sentiment to want to know what you can do.

Page – 2 – of 10Well, I’m telling you right now something you can do. You can vote. You can vote the good guys in.

Exercise that precious right to vote.

Evan Nappen 07:37

And look, folks, the Republicans have come a long way. With the fantastic leadership by President

Trump and with the fantastic work done to try to preserve voter integrity, to stop the steal, to stop the

fraud, President Trump was successful and probably the ultimate comeback politically of anyone ever

in the history of the world. I mean, it’s just amazing what that man overcame. But he didn’t do it alone.

He did it by focusing on where the problems were, and part of those problems was in our election itself.

And we are now going to have monitors from the Justice Department trying to make sure this election is

as free from fraud as possible, and the Republicans have a keen understanding of the games that

Democrats play. So, this is where your vote not only matters but can really count. It can really count.

This is going to be critical, and the statement it will make when Ciattarelli wins will be beyond New

Jersey. It will also show that the Democrat Party is in its death throes, that their progressive liberal

insanity is finally being recognized by folks, even in so-called Blue States, like New Jersey. And not

being accepted. Being rejected, straight out. It is critical in both the big picture and in the small picture.

Evan Nappen 09:37

And in the picture related to what happens in New Jersey. Because, folks, there are bills pending right

now that have gone halfway through, halfway through, that will be devastating to our Second

Amendment rights. There are so many of these horrible laws that need to be repealed. Laws that are so

extreme which we’ve discussed on this show. We have to make it happen. This is that golden

opportunity. And just think of how amazing it will be to have at the same time, a Republican President

and a Republican Governor that are both dedicated to defending, not oppressing, our Second

Amendment rights. So, please do your part.

Teddy Nappen 10:35

One other thing I would highlight for that is that not just what the Governor can do, but a Governor can

appoint people. You know, like Murphy appointed Platkin. The attack dog who’s been weaponizing his

position to attack our rights. Going after gun shops. Going after gun companies. They’ve been going

after everything they can. Where you are the top cop in that position. So, if Jack (Ciattarelli) gets in,

we’ll get someone who is not a Platkin and won’t be the attacker on our rights.

Evan Nappen 11:16

And actually, you’re right, Teddy. And not only that, the Attorney General can then promulgate Attorney

General Opinions and other legal decrees that are within their power to expand our rights, to clarify

limitations, and to advise law enforcement throughout New Jersey about how they need to treat our

rights and permitting and all these issues that we’re fighting now. It will open up that area greatly. This

is a tremendous opportunity here, and it’s one of the blessings of living in a republic. We get this right to

vote. So, don’t ignore it. The ballot is more powerful than the bullet, and with the ballot, we can increase

the power behind our bullets. In other words, our ability to exercise our rights. So, it’s critical, folks.

Critical, critical, critical.

Evan Nappen 12:34

Page – 3 – of 10Hey, I also want to mention an interesting little news bit that you may not have heard. This is from UW

news. More U.S. adults are carrying loaded handguns daily.

(https://www.washington.edu/news/2022/11/16/more-u-s-adults-carrying-loaded-handguns-daily-study-

finds/) There you go. And that’s not a surprise, I’m sure, to most of us. But the numbers are kind of cool

from this article, and I just wanted to share them with you. The number of U.S. adult handgun owners

carrying loaded handguns doubled from 2015 to 2019. Now that’s just to 2019. I bet it’s more than

doubled yet again. But even then, it doubled. This was based on the National Firearm Survey (NFS) of

U.S. adults. And looking at their surveys, they found that from 2015 that it’s up 9 million and 6 million

carry every day, twice as many as carried in 2015. This is really great news, because the more folks out

there are carrying, the safer we are. And they’re, of course, saying that less restrictive carrying

regulations. Yeah, we have the tremendous growth of “shall issue” permits. We have the Bruen

decision now, and we have Constitutional carry.

Evan Nappen 14:11

We have actually crime that is been gone crazy in the cities that gets folks wanting to protect

themselves. It actually, in these hot spots, because of how the news plays up the crime in the hot spots,

right? Because, you know, blood always sells in the news media. It actually also is encouraging to get

people to want to defend themselves and have the means to do so. Some of the other findings in the

report that are interesting is apparently seven in 10 handgun owners say they carry a loaded handgun

as protection against another person. Dwarfing the number who said they carry for protection against

an animal or for work. Yep, so, the overwhelming majority of carry, seven out of 10, is for self-defense

against bad guys. Now, why should we even be shocked by that? I’m not. Of course it is. That’s why

good guys have got to carry. I mean, come on. They also found that four in five handgun owners who

reported carrying were male, three in four were white, and the majority were between 18 and 44. Now,

gee, white and male. That’s interesting. Why are they? Why are they checking into that?

Evan Nappen 15:54

Well, you know, if you look deeper behind their approach of trying to make it out that it’s some kind of

white supremacy thing, which is, of course, the undercurrent to that little stat. The reality of it is that the

institutionalized racism that’s present is a discouragement to blacks from carrying. That’s the reason.

And we need to address that, because the more folks that carry, the better. Any law-abiding citizen,

responsible, law-abiding citizen that carries makes you and me both safer. So, I think we’ll see even

way bigger numbers if we had more up-to-date studies than going back to 2019. But that itself shows

you that the trend is going in the right way. It’s going in the direction.

Teddy Nappen 16:50

You also gotta look at the factor of Covid. As the 2019.

Evan Nappen 16:56

Yeah.

Teddy Nappen 16:56

Page – 4 – of 10Where everyone gets locked up and, you know, everyone can’t go outside. You want to defend your

home and need something to carry. I need something to defend myself. So, that’s another one that

blew up in the Left’s face.

Evan Nappen 17:12

And it did. It did blow up, and it’s continuing to. As a matter of fact, though, there’s, you know, things

coming up with technology. We’re talking about AI, and we’re talking about other impacts. Well, I just

want to point this little story out here that I saw. This is from Cam Edwards at BearingArms. “What

happens when AI thinks a bag of chips is a gun?”

(https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/10/27/what-happens-when-ai-bag-chips-a-gun-n1230388)

How about that, folks? When a bag of chips is a gun. That’s right. Because that’s what happened to

Taki Allen, who was hanging out with his friends after football practice at Kenwood High School in

Baltimore County. Police rolled up and confronted him at gunpoint about a pistol they thought he was

carrying. He was placed in handcuffs and searched, but no gun was found. Instead, what he had was a

bag of Doritos that he was holding and that triggered a weapons alert by the AI powered security

system. How nice. So, apparently he was just holding a bag of Doritos, and AI registered it as a gun. I

don’t think they have the firearm-seasoned Doritos yet. It’s just a situation where you have this

incredible reaction. Luckily, no one was hurt, but you can well see nervous law enforcement drawing a

gun down on this kid. I’m glad law enforcement didn’t mistake his bag of Doritos for a firearm. So, keep

in mind that these AI systems are going to be emplaced in other areas, and I’m sure we’re going to see

growth of that. We’re probably going to see more and more of the problems, the glitches from these

systems that are going to lead to folks getting injured and of unreasonable searches and seizures

taking place. I can well see that in the future. So, we better be aware of it. But next time with your bag

of Doritos, beware that you may be triggering AI into thinking you’re going to do harm with a firearm.

How crazy is that?

Evan Nappen 19:58

Hey, I want to tell you about our good friends at WeShoot. WeShoot is a range, an indoor range, in

Lakewood where Teddy and I both shoot. We get our training there. We love WeShoot, and so will you.

WeShoot has some pretty cool stuff they’re talking about and that they’re offering. You can go check

out at the WeShoot pro-shop. One is the Walther PDP Pro-X and that’s their newest evolution in

Walther performance. With a full-size feel, a top-tier trigger and modular features for serious shooters.

Then you have the Tavor X95. We love the Tavor X95. We call it the Hebrew hammer, right? It’s a

compact bull pup, chambered in 5.56, built for CQP power with Israeli military roots, and it has that

wonderful futuristic function. Then you have the classic Smith & Wesson Model 36. That’s the good ol’e

snub nose .38 special in the classic Model 36. The old J-frame that we love. We call it our pocket

rocket. They have a nice Model 36 there for you to check out, made by Smith, just a great classic gun.

You can also get your training at WeShoot. You can get your certifications, and you have a great range

to practice. Go right there to WeShoot in Lakewood. Check out their website at weshootusa.com. They

have beautiful photography, and they’re just wonderful place. You will love it. They’re a great resource

for New Jersey gun owners right there, conveniently off the Parkway in Lakewood, New Jersey.

Evan Nappen 22:07

Page – 5 – of 10Let me also mention our good friends at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, anjrpc.org.

ANJRPC has been hard at work fighting for our rights. They’re in the courts as we speak. They’re

standing guard in the legislature with a full-time paid lobbyist. They are fighting as well. Getting the

word out about voting. We have to do it. We’ve got to get out there and vote. The Association is there

serving you as New Jerseyans, protecting our rights. You need to be a member of the Association of

New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They’ll send you out great emails about alerts with easy steps you can

take to make a difference. But they also send you a wonderful printed newsletter, greatest newsletter

out there in the state. They’re the NRA affiliate, official state affiliate, and the largest pro-gun group in

New Jersey, pro- Second Amendment rights. So, make sure you join. Go to anjrpc.org and join today.

You’ll be glad you did.

Evan Nappen 23:30

And let me also not forget to shamelessly promote my book, New Jersey Gun Law. It is the Bible of

Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages with 120 topics, in a question-and-answer format. It’s used every

day by hundreds and hundreds of folks. It will help you to keep your guns, keep your gun rights and

stay out of jail. New Jersey, as you know, is insane, and I try to make the insanity somewhat

understandable. So, you can stay within the crazy matrix of New Jersey’s gun laws and not fall into the

traps. Not be a GOFU. So, make sure you get a copy of my book and scan the front cover for the QR

right there, so you can get the free updates. The Comprehensive 2025 Update is there waiting for you,

including a standalone chapter of where you can and cannot carry under New Jersey’s Carry Killer bill.

What’s valid and what isn’t at the moment. So, get yourself a copy today. Go to EvanNappen.com,

EvanNappen.com, and make sure you own the big orange book. So, Teddy, what do you have for us

today?

Teddy Nappen 24:55

Well, as we know, Press Checks are always free and. And I wanted to. One of the big things that kind

of was circulating, if everyone’s been paying attention, about what’s been going on with Glock as

California issued their ban. And this comes from BearingArms, our friends at BearingArms, from Cam

Edwards. Gun World is buzzing as Glocks decision to discontinue dozens of its models.

(https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/10/21/gun-world-buzzing-glock-discontinue-dozens-

models-n1230326) It has been kind of the big shake up.

Evan Nappen 25:28

They basically got rid of their entire line, except for the slim compacts like the 43 and those guns. So,

they’re no longer going to produce all those Glocks, and they’re coming out with what, the new V

series?

Teddy Nappen 25:45

Correct. This was given to them by one of the several Glock distributors began reporting on Monday

afternoon that the company will stop shipping all Gen 3s, Gen 5s, and Gen 5 MOS models as of

November 30, and we’ll be rolling out the new V series December of this year. This is from a video of

GlockShop’s (Lenny) McGill.

Evan Nappen 26:12

Page – 6 – of 10Oh yeah. Lenny McGill. Well, you know, the Glock has been such a favorite and so reliable a firearm.

It’s like the number one, probably the number one handgun in America at the moment.

Teddy Nappen 26:26

Mitch Rapp would agree.

Evan Nappen 26:28

Hmm, I’m sure he would. I know that there’s, like, I always say about a Glock. There’s a really good and

really bad thing about a Glock. What’s really good about a Glock is, when you pull the trigger, it goes

bang. What’s really bad about a Glock is, when you pull the trigger it goes bang. In other words, there’s

no manual safeties on it, okay? So, your safety is in between your ears. Glock is super reliable, but

make sure you’re always very conscientious about your trigger and following all the rules of safety

when it comes to a Glock. They’re great guns, but there’s no mechanical safeties that are going to

come to your aid if you get stupid. So, be cautious with Glocks at all times. But I love them.

Teddy Nappen 27:28

Yeah, and I will note from the article, the company has not shown any ties to the anti-gun efforts to their

change of the of their line up with the new models. But the timing and their response is very suspect of

that, and they highlight the issue. Growing use of illegal switches that convert semi-automatic pistols

into machine guns. Oh, but it seems like that’s kind of their response and.

Evan Nappen 28:01

Well, wait, let’s talk about those. So, those are the Glock switches, and they’re able to be very easily

printed with 3d printers for less than a buck, I guess, in materials. And they’ll go on the back of the

Glock. They’ll slide in, and then you can switch a semi-auto Glock so that it’ll go full auto. And that’s

what these Glock switches do. And they’re out there because they’re so easy to make and so plentiful.

Apparently, the understanding we have is that the V series will not be able to be converted with a Glock

switch. Now, I don’t have more technical information than that. Maybe they’re just going to go with like a

pro-trigger or something. But normally, the way these things go is any technological change that gets

made, then somebody invents a technological way around it. So, I don’t know. But for now, the idea, I’m

sure, is to undercut this litigation and legislation as part of the announcement of their new line. Now this

new line may also have things like MOS on all the models as a standard feature. Who knows what

other things it may have. It may be enhancements that may make it better, but then again, maybe not.

We’ve seen that before, Teddy, where manufacturers have changed their model guns and the old

models become much more desirable than the new models. I’m not saying that’s going to happen here,

for sure, but we’ve seen it before.

Teddy Nappen 29:48

Correct. And that’s one of my points I always try to make when it comes to the Press Checks. I find the

best way to look at things is to look as you can see, they always try to push this in the guise of “safety”.

And one of the things that we want to highlight is from for the 1911 Series 70 vs the Series 80. This

comes from PewPew Tactical. (https://www.pewpewtactical.com/1911-series-70-series-80/) The giant

change that they did.

Page – 7 – of 10Evan Nappen 30:19

Well, yeah. Well, you see, there is a more of a desirability, arguably, for Series 70 Colt 1911s versus

Series 80. Because with the 80s, they added a firing pin safety, and they added some changes to the

bushing and what have you. I mean, the Series 80 is still a damn good gun, but there became a

preference and kind of an added, a value added, if you had a Series 70. Still is to this day. A Series 70

is more sought after, arguably. The triggers on a Series 70 were much better because of the design on

the Series 80 to increase, to add in that safety. There’s a little more, not as crisp, etc. Now, you know,

I’m sure with a lot of great gunsmithing, you can get that Series 80 to be real nice, but the Series 70,

plainly has certain things that make it a preference. However, if you have your hammer down on a firing

pin on a Series 70and there’s ammo there, that pin is actually going to push against the primer. So, it

doesn’t have that firing pin safety. And that’s what the Series 80 did. Because, you know, the idea

behind the 1911 is you’re going to carry it cocked and locked. So, the hammer is cocked and then the

safety goes up to lock it. And then on your Series 70, you have two safeties, basically that are

mechanical. You have your thumb safety, and then you have your grip safety. So, you actually have

two mechanical safeties. You’ve got to be gripping it properly, and then click down the thumb safety.

But if you have a round in the chamber and the hammer is down and you don’t have it cocked and

locked, then arguably, there could be some issue there. It’s not a smart way to be carrying a firearm

that is a single action, automatic, semi automatic pistol, single action. That’s what your 1911 is. But

folks love the Series 70. So, there was a more of a desire to have the Series 70. You see, the same

thing with Winchesters, with pre-’64 Winchesters. Particularly the Model 70s, right? I mean, you know,

Teddy, about how.

Teddy Nappen 32:58

Yeah, in comparison. Winchesters prior were more handmade under the Japanese firearm company to

change the manufacturing and more to the factory style that of the Japanese.

Evan Nappen 33:20

I mean, the Winchesters are all good. But the preference, again, became for the firearm that had more

hand work and had some differences in extractor and what have you. So that the premier became the

so-called Pre ’64 Winchesters. It had value added on your Model 70 and other firearms made by

Winchester. So, that’s something that became looked for. Then you see it again with Smith & Wesson,

right? Like we see with Smith. The Hillary hole. So, after that Rose Garden ceremony and they put that

internal lock in the Smith & Wessons, people were not necessarily thrilled about that internal lock, and

there were even reports of issues with it. As soon as you add in these things, you make a gun less

simple, and the more complex it is, the more likelihood you could have an issue that you don’t want. So,

the new Smiths became less preferred than the old Smiths, and that’s still a thing. But nowadays you

can even get the Smiths without the Hillary hole. They’ll offer many of their revolvers because people

just don’t want that internal locking device in their guns.

Teddy Nappen 34:41

Yeah, I would say that’s the better comparison, is that to the what’s going on with Glock and the Hillary

hole, because that all came out of the creation over the whole deal with Columbine. And it was

cowtowing, which, again, you never appease crocodiles, and this is trying to combat the “safety issues

of firearms”.

Page – 8 – of 10Evan Nappen 35:08

Oh, yeah, that was the famous Rose Garden ceremony with Smith. And then, as a matter of fact, there

was a reaction by gun owners, in effect, not to even buy Smith & Wessons after that. People were so

disgusted with them giving in to the Clinton, to the Clinton Gambit, and their sales took a hit. It was

viewed at that time as somewhat of a sellout. Now, I’m not saying Glock is selling out. Okay? There are

realities here of the litigation and the laws that will affect their ability on selling the guns, whether, you

know, those fights can be won down the road or not. When, if they just reinvigorate their line and they

don’t take away the reliability aspect that we all know and love about Glocks, maybe it will be okay. But

Smith & Wesson is an example with what not to do, that’s for damn sure. What not to do with them. And

you still see premier and premiums for the old Marlins, right? JM stamped Marlins get a premium over

the other Marlins. And I know Ruger now makes Marlins, and they make a damn good product. I’m not

saying anything else, but there’s still that premium, that desire for the old ones.

Evan Nappen 36:36

So, we may see that all these pre V model Glocks, pre V models, may themselves have a premium.

And although we see Glocks as plentiful, that may not end up being the case with the V models. It may

go the route of the Series 70 versus Series 80. It may go the route of the Smith Hillary hole versus not,

the pre 64 Winchester. So look, if you have a Glock, I would say the old models, hold on to it for now.

Hold on to it because you may see that there’s a premium to the older generation Glocks. It may very

well happen. We don’t know. Because the new Glocks haven’t come out. And if they do come out and

then there’s issues people are reporting, which could happen, particularly with new models, then there’ll

be a really big demand for the older models. And even if there is no issue, there’ll still be that desire, if

for no other reason than you want to have a Glock that, you know, they wanted you not to have. Even

though you have no intention of ever putting a Glock switch on it. There’s still the factor that you now

have a Glock that ended up being forced into model changes, and you have the old Model.

Evan Nappen 36:48

We’ve seen that happen any number of times. We saw things change, like, for example, with the old

Mac 10 semi-automatic pistol. Right? The Mac 10, now Macs, of course, are assault firearms, boogie

men under New Jersey law. But back when the original Mac came out, it fired from an open bolt, and it

was semi-auto. And then they said, oh, no, you can’t have open bolt semi-autos. It’s got to fire from the

closed bolt because it could get too easily converted. But the open bolts are still legal, and of course,

there’s a premium if you have an open bolt Mac. You see this repeated so many times through the

firearm industry, where the old models have an added value and more desirability. Now, whether or not

that’ll happen with Glock remains to be seen, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see it, just given the

history of so many other guns and how that very thing has happened.

Evan Nappen 39:07

Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU, which is the Gun Owner Fuck Up. And the reason we talk

about GOFUs is because it’s actual cases of people making mistakes. They can be very expensive,

costly. Cost your freedom, cost your rights, and you don’t want to be a GOFU. So, we like to talk about

them. So, this week’s GOFU has to do with the firearm that you carry. It may seem basic, but I need to

say it. Make sure the gun that you carry is your firearm, your gun. Don’t go and register your spouse’s

Page – 9 – of 10gun. When I say “register”, I mean list it on your carry permit as your carry gun. When it’s not your gun,

don’t do that. Okay? Because it’s a firearm that is somebody else’s. Why are you even handling it? How

can you have been transferred it lawfully? It raises all kinds of questions and all kinds of problems. So,

make sure the guns that you list on your carry permit are actually your firearms. Don’t be a GOFU.

Evan Nappen 40:22

This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from

criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.
