Speaker 2So you've made it through three hours of the regular show on terrestrial radio and you wanted a.
Speaker 3Little bit more.
Speaker 2So that's why you found the Gun Talk After Show podcast where we saved all the best things that we can't say on regular radio.
Speaker 3Now here's Tom, Michelle and Jim for the Gun Talk After Show.
Speaker 4All right, welcome to the after Show.
We have Jim Canci, Michelle Cleland.
Speaker 1Hello folks, heh Hello.
Speaker 4I hope you've shut off the phone so those pesky callers won't bother me.
Speaker 1Yeah, geez pete.
It's all they want to do is talk about guns.
Speaker 4Talk about guns again.
Tee means I'm again.
Geez see, I've got this twenty five even I want to do something with it.
Yeah, I can tell you what to do with it.
But we can't put that on.
Speaker 1The air, Okay, but we can on the podcast.
Speaker 4Oh there you go.
All right.
Oh, there was one story I forgot to mention.
I got to get this out there that you'll appreciate.
This one Federal Appeals Court in New Orleans ruled that illegal aliens do not have the right to keep it their arms under the Second Amendment.
Wow okay, Oh because they're not American citizens.
Speaker 1Is that common sense?
Speaker 2Well, but there has to be a ruling otherwise it didn't get discussed.
Speaker 3Follow the law.
Speaker 4This will irritate the Jesus out of some folks who they will appeal it to say we no, no, because you know now that we have invited them into our country, they are a guests and they should have all our rights.
Yeah, also all our money.
We'll put it up in high rights hotels.
How about that?
Yeah.
Speaker 5I can hear their slogan right now.
If Trump voters can have guns, so can our people.
Speaker 4He went way.
How about Venezuela and gangs taking over the park accomplished?
Sure?
Speaker 1Sure, hope did you.
Speaker 4See that video of that?
Yeah?
Speaker 1I hope they clean the pool.
Speaker 4Oh my gosh, what a mess.
You're like, Okay, you know, why would you need to need or one an a ar fifteen?
Yeah, because there are four to six people with guns outside your door.
Speaker 1Right okay, and they're just trying to make room for more of their members.
According to what I've read.
Speaker 4Uh, probably so time to clean them out.
Uh, with whatever that takes.
I'm sorry, just I'm just gonna get it out there.
Just just do it, dron them, drone them.
I thought you meant we were just supposed to drone on about that.
Speaker 1I think that's kind of given.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, that's right.
Well, yes, what else is do nothing?
Speaker 1Hey?
Speaker 4I got to mention smart carry.
We haven't talked about that in a while.
Speaker 1I loved mine.
I everyone used it in a couple of years, but I loved it.
Speaker 4What a great concept.
And then you know, thinking under a bib overall that would be.
Speaker 5Perfect, right, and where it's located, it's not going to get in the way of anything I'm going to be doing.
Speaker 4It just begs for all these responses that I cannot give.
Speaker 3Move on, Moving on.
Speaker 5On a more somber on a more somber topic.
I was in a really good mood until I heard Nikki's interview and then just kind of just locked the wind out of my sail.
Speaker 4That was a horrible story.
I mean, the stalker followed her, stalked her.
I mean when they arrested and they found you extra guns, rope, I mean, all the stuff you need for kidnapping, and everything else.
It's like, I'm just and this is a guy with some serious mental problems.
And when she asked the restaurant to have him remove from the restaurant, uh, he just killed her husband, shot him seven times for the forty five right there in the middle of the restaurant.
It's like, Okay, crazy shows up a lot of different places.
I remind myself of that when I think, well, I'm just going to run into our little town here, why would I need to carry my gun?
Think?
Yeah, because crazy is everywhere.
Speaker 2Well, and of course the worst thing is she was in a gun free zone, following the law as US gun people typically do, and got caught.
Speaker 4Up in that exact same thing that happened to Susannah Hup, I mean, went into Luby's cafeteria, left her gun out there because they had a no gun signs gun free zone, watched this guy drive into the place and kill her parents right in front of her.
I have pretty much adopted the attitude that.
And here's the thing.
In most states, if you and you need to know the law, But in most states, if you carry into a place that's posted that's not off limits by law, they just put up an open goost office or something.
Right, Yeah, post offices it's off limits by law.
But restaurants they put up signs that kind of a deal.
All they can do is ask you to leave, so you're okay.
Remember one, They're not going to find it unless I have to pull it out and use it.
Then I don't care.
And if they asked me to leave, I'll leave.
Now.
If you they ask you to leave, you don't leave.
That's trespassed.
I can call you on that.
But it's like I kind if I'm not paying a lot of attention to those signs anymore for the very I mean, Nikki is a prime example.
Speaker 5Right, Wait a minute, are you saying that murderers would be willing to break the law.
Speaker 3Unbelievable shocking, I know.
Speaker 4And if they're going to break the law, why should I make myself vulnerable to them by obeying the law?
That makes no sense.
Speaker 1What Tom's a really good guy to still be with us today, if you.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's a shame that he followed followed the law.
Actually, in this case, just followed the request of the equality owners.
Speaker 1The policy.
Speaker 4We have a policy about that.
Yeah, well you know what, I have my own policy how's that.
You know I'm going to take care of myself and my family.
Duh.
So Michelle, you like my idea of my new rifle.
I just got this.
Speaker 2Yeah, it gives you the best and least recoil.
Speaker 1Right without an yammel.
It's got no recoil.
Speaker 4That is just the quietest gun I've ever had.
Speaker 3It's being made, but no, I think it's great.
Speaker 2It gives you the option for bigger game and rider game.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's a it's a thumper.
What do you guess, thirty one thirty uh feet product?
Yeah, out of one hundred and sixty five gring bullet.
Yeah, but with a like a two hundred and ten grain to twenty five, you're down to twenty six to twenty seven real fast, unusable.
Speaker 2We'll just remind everybody that he did say it was an ultra light.
Speaker 4It is a six and a quarter pound rifle with you got you start crying as soon as you pull the sugar.
Speaker 1Oh what a dude.
I never saw a guy with three shoulder fats.
Speaker 3But yeah, okay, that's when they say they make your first shot count town.
Speaker 4Because I'll be just curled up in the feet of position after that.
Speaker 1I have a surgeon on calle.
Speaker 3Rolled down the mountain side.
I'm not sure what happened, but he shot around and.
Speaker 4He tied around and then he checked himself into the yar.
Okay, actually, it's not bad that the design on this gun has that straight stock where you almost can't get the bolt out when you're removing it.
So the comb is very high.
You get that straight recoil back.
It really doesn't kick much.
You know, this is the fourth one of these I've gotten on a tear of buying these.
Speaker 1See their allack?
Yeah, yeah, Jim and I.
Speaker 4Were talking about that phrase being on a tear and not a terror t e a r being on a tear.
Speaker 1Correct.
Speaker 4So I've been buying ultra light arms because you don't find the left handed it's very often, I mean you don't find ultra light arms for sale very often actually, but the left handed was even less.
Speaker 1So you drive with your right arm because you're gonna need it.
Speaker 4Have a sling.
But you know that textas into the whole idea when you have your arm and a sling, how do you have a holster inside of your sling?
Sling carry?
Speaker 1That's like that smart carry.
Speaker 4That smart scary aUI.
Speaker 1You have one of those in your med kit, sling.
Speaker 4Yeah, really exactly right.
It's like I'm going to take some ibuprofen now because I'm going to be shooting my gun later, and.
Speaker 1It's a prophylactic move.
Speaker 2Do they still make They used to make the shirts that had like the extra padding up around the shoulders and side.
Speaker 4Do they still sk Shooters used that?
But what I used is you know that past brand PSD.
I have like three of those and you just put it on over your shirt and those things work great.
Yep.
Speaker 2They had some specialized for women, did they Yes?
They did, because women are different well hooked onto the.
Speaker 1Trap.
Yeah, I'm hanging out of mind.
Speaker 4No way.
Speaker 3You couldn't get to me anyways.
Speaker 5Yeah, that's a story that would I don't know if I want you to tell that.
Speaker 3We won't share it.
Speaker 4Ah right, Okay, I just think a quick break.
We'll come back and wrap this thing up, because I know you guys actually have lives to get to, unlike.
Speaker 1Some of the I mean the barbecue grill out there, is that what you mean?
Speaker 4All of that thing.

Speaker 4Oh.
Speaker 1Okay, that's a nice re entry.
Speaker 4I like to like that.
That re entry you just made.
That.
We're just going to use that one.
By the way, just a big shout out to my wife for putting up with me for fifty one years as of today.
Speaker 3Wow, she is a strong woman.
Speaker 4She is that and then some or she's just forgotten who I am and it just works out.
Well.
Speaker 2So it's okay, Well you built the studio, so how much time do you spend up there versus.
Speaker 4I don't know.
She's changed the lot.
Speaker 5There you go, Well, want summer one to call her Sally for some reason, it's right, no fording address, So.
Speaker 4There you go.
Speaker 3Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 4Yeah, we've had a lot of adventures.
We've moved all of the country we've lived in, got a lot of states, all of the A states except for Arkansas, Alabama, Alaska, and Arizona.
And I kind of forgo the whole Arkansas thing, although Arkansas has got some beautiful parts of it really does.
So anyway, we did that, and actually, you know, my wife is an example of somebody who can shoot and has a gun, but that's just not her thing.
Every want to go out to the range and shoot.
She'll go out occasionally and shoot.
And when she does, she shoots very well.
And she's had some good instruction and.
Speaker 1She and he's helped her too.
Speaker 4Well, maybe that's right.
She had good instruction and I helped, and then the instruction helps to overcome.
Speaker 2My and she gets remedial.
Speaker 4I said, that's very nice.
Now try it this way.
Speaker 3It's working well for you.
I see you're hitting all exes.
But what about this.
Speaker 4Exactly?
Hey, if you notice that there are just like new guns coming out like crazy, are there?
Speaker 3I hadn't noticed.
Speaker 4You hadn't noticed, right, Yeah?
And I know gun sales are down generally, and course, I mean the gun company is trying to pump that up with some new models.
Which makes sense.
Speaker 1That's twofold, though, isn't it.
Speaker 5It's kind of twofold because the gun rush are twenty and twenty one, and then now the economy in the tank.
Speaker 4Well, yeah, exactly, it's combined so much so that I mean a lot of gun stores are reporting people are coming back in and selling guns just because it's just hard to make a living and pay for groceries and everything else, and they've got you know, there's money and guns and you can always sell them.
So people are selling guns at the same time that a lot of other people are buying guns.
It's just it's a weird situation we're.
Speaker 2In right now, right and politically, with the with the political year, with the election year being this year, it wouldn't typically.
Speaker 3Be that way.
Speaker 4Good point, Yeah, a good point.
Speaker 2People would normally be purchasing and holding on to them in fear of that.
Speaker 5Dot because normally, traditionally they've had the money.
This economy is really in the d I mean, look at grocery prices and stuff.
Before you even look at stuff like ammal.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, I can afford AMMO.
Speaker 1You know, with the right ammal, you can afford you can get the food.
You can go out back and get the food.
Speaker 4Well, yeah, she can afford AMML because she goes and takes it from her husband.
I remember Rob Latham said he went on like one of his three four week trips.
He goes on doing competition.
All he gets back, he says, where'd all my Ammo go?
And his wife Kip?
He said, Rob, I was practicing.
She shot up like twelve thousand rounds of nine.
Speaker 2She must have she must have had all of her gales over.
Speaker 5That's a good afternoon, man, some serious shooting going on there.
Speaker 2I miss those days of all the miscellaneous twenty two's that would just go on the coffee.
Speaker 3Can you know, Oh gosh, what you wouldn't do to have it.
Speaker 2But at the same time, I wouldn't want those days back because that was precious time that my children got to enjoy.
Speaker 3But you know.
Speaker 5You never thought about the analytics under your seat, Tom, I've got some of the coffee, coffee holder.
Speaker 3You know you don't, Jim, I cleaned out your car.
Speaker 4I know that I could never drive into Mexico with my car.
Yeah, I would have to buy a brand new car or rent something.
Speaker 3To go down.
Don't go north either.
Speaker 4Well, yeah, you know you're right.
I'm just hearing from some folks who are running into issues with their guns going into Canada.
Speaker 3Yeah, yep, absolutely, so it's a real problem.
Speaker 4So it's like okay, and people need to understand if they don't cross the border very often, customs, both US and Canada.
Uh, customs have almost unlimited ability to search and do whatever.
Speaker 3They want to do, anything they want to do.
Speaker 4So keep your mouth shut, be polite, and just suck it up and put up with it because smart enough just means they're going to tear your car apart.
Speaker 5And they don't have to put it back together.
No, no, I just I just sweat a lot in twitch.
It seems to work real well, that's just normal for you.
Speaker 2You don't even look at them like nont whatsoever.
Speaker 1Just Canada.
Speaker 5For actually most countries, there's no problem leaving the country you're in.
Speaker 1They don't care what you have.
Speaker 4It's you're over there.
Coming back to the US could be a real issue too.
Absolutely, So it's just like, yes, put up with it here it is.
Or if you want to go to Alaska, just fly all the way there and don't.
Speaker 3Go through Canada, right, you get there faster too.
Speaker 4Oh oh, we're talking about holsters for a second time, because during the break we were talking about this.
Oh yeah, yeah, you mentioned you've got all these holsters now and you don't know what gun they're for.
The manufacturers don't put anything on the holster to market for what gun is for.
So do you do the like the sharpie on your holsters?
Speaker 2Let's go with yes, Tom, you know maybe if you well, I'm gonna you.
Speaker 3Have for the same firearm.
Speaker 1Yeah, that too, I got a couple.
Speaker 5And then the other thing is it's it's well, I'm not going to forget I just got this one, right, So I waited six months to get a holster and I never even tried it out yet.
Speaker 2Soon still sitting there, let me ask the question, do you buy like, once you find a style or manufacturer that you like, did you buy that for all the guns going back?
Speaker 4No?
Speaker 3Are going forward?
Speaker 4That would make way too much.
Speaker 5No, I'll live with the past and then that anything going forward.
If I really like somebody else.
Speaker 3Yeah did in the past, Yes he did.
Speaker 1He lives in the.
Speaker 4Just just making sure here.
Oh yeah, so but no, really, you end up with all these holsters for all these guns, and you're going I mean I have actually picked up a box of holsters with a gun and I'm going to find one if this thing fits, and so after a while, just like you're doing, Jim, it's a sharpie, I'm going to write on the holster what gun it's for and hope that you know the sharpie didn't.
Speaker 1Wear off, right.
Speaker 5I use a black sharpie and a black holster in the Buckeyeah.
Speaker 1No, I have several silver gray sharpies.
Speaker 4I'll tell you, just for black kaiaks.
Yes, it works really well.
Actually yeah, no, it's and people are thinking, oh, why would you ever do that.
By the time you get past about twelve holsters, you have no idea exactly, You just have no I mean I just bought two holsters for the new sig P three three sixty five fuse because nobody had those when it first came out.
So now I have two of them.
You know what they look like every other holster I own.
Speaker 6It.
Speaker 4Oh good, it's a black KAIDEKX holster.
Speaker 1Yeah.
That narrows it down.
Speaker 3You know, if you start doing like cheetah print.
Speaker 2Alligator skin, oh, you know, you just start mixing them all up.
Speaker 3I mean, okay, fashion holsters.
Speaker 2Yeah, color coding DAZZLESO.
Speaker 5He's a blue electrical tape on the holster, blue electrical tape on the grip.
Speaker 3Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1And you know what you do, go together.
Speaker 4Mix and match.
Speaker 3Tom, you just need to have a craft night in your studio.
Speaker 4Clearly now, what I need is to put in a Sarah cot station.
Oh so I have the same Sarah Cote on the gun and the hole.
Speaker 3Yes, there you are each.
Speaker 4One that way.
When the gun goes in.
Speaker 3The holsters, you wouldn't even know it's chameleoned except he does them.
Speaker 1All this army green or whatever it's called.
Speaker 4That's right, just what you need.
Speaker 1How many do you have, Tom, hundred?
Speaker 4What holsters?
Yeah?
Oh?
Probably, yeah, yeah, probably remember we got some from literally fifty years ago.
Speaker 2I'm picturing a walk in closet with all those holsters hanging on hangers.
Speaker 4I am the Emelda Marcos of holsters.
Speaker 1Wow, I haven't heard it for her in a while.
Speaker 3I have just a tote the bin of them.
Speaker 2Actually my guns when I put them in the safe, lots of times depending on the type.
Obviously not leather ones.
But I will keep some of them in the holster.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, there no reason not to.
On yeah, good point.
Speaker 3Oh, I eliminate some of that issue and.
Speaker 4I've got like leather shoulder holsters for a forty four magnum with a six inch barrel breakaway.
Uh yeah, actually, oh.
Speaker 3My gosh, yes, yes.
Speaker 4Yeah, you gonna do the whole Miami vice.
Speaker 3I was just gonna shout out to Don Johnson days.
Speaker 4Yeah, there you go.
They were cool, there were and I wore that when I was fishing in Alaska.
I was knocking around Alaska, and you do the forty four mag under the shoulder, you know, show a holster deal with the barrel pointed down and that way you could wear it on the outside of your clothing.
Speaker 3Well, that just makes sense for Alaska.
Speaker 4Yeah, just had a that I think we mentioned it last week, the young guy who got jumped by a bear and shot it with his ten mometer but also put off bullet himself doing that.
Yeah, so you go, okay.
Speaker 5And yeah, yeah, that's something you can you can prepare for, but you really can't train for a bear attack.
Speaker 1That would be that would be an interesting range ready course.
Speaker 4Actually you can.
Yeah, oh yeah, there's a gun site has done handgun classes for bear protection and FTW Ranch does the charging uh K buffalo targets that you.
Speaker 1Put on a kevlar bearsuit or something.
Speaker 4No, we've done charging bear targets rely on a remote control robot that's really fast.
Speaker 1Wow, and it.
Speaker 4Comes charging at you and you learn to not only shoot, but to move and jump out of the way.
Is this thing's coming at you?
And it will ramp up your adrenaline like instantly?
Speaker 1Does that have sound effects too?
Speaker 4That you said the instructle behind you going.
Speaker 1And it's the drool that really sets it up.
Speaker 2I already have this figured out because I'm just gonna put marshmallow fluff on Jim because I can outrun Jim.
Speaker 1You don't have to run the bear, just out run Jim.
Speaker 4Just get a can of cheese, whist spray or something, you know.
Speaker 1Amongst my own.
Speaker 4I still like the idea just take the twenty two into bear country.
Just kneecap your buddy.
Yep, yep, there you go.
Speaker 1Old joke.
Good it is.
Speaker 4It's one of the better ones, you know, it is?
All right?
Well, look I've got to I got some loading to do.
I love the whole process of working up loads for a new gun.
That is so much fun.
And and oh quick update for people who would need to go out in side in your rifle.
You please use the solid rest.
I'm not crazy about let sledgs, you know how I am, but I like sandbags there and just take your time if it.
Honestly, if it takes you more than about six shots to sit in your rifle, you're doing it wrong.
Speaker 2You need some help and making sure the forearm is on your shooting bag.
Speaker 4Is all the shooting bag, not the barrel things.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, there actually.
Speaker 4Are some good videos on YouTube where of course, now you can learn how to do anything, and it'd be worthwhile to do a really good refresher on that of Okay, because I mean I'm serious, people say, well, you know it takes me two or three boxes of AMMO to get set in and go okay, Well stop, we should literally should be able to do that in about six.
Speaker 1Shots or two to do it your method, you can do it.
Speaker 4With two at least.
Get if you're on target to say it one hundred yards, line up on the bull's eye, nice good press on the trigger wherever the bullet goes.
Then put the rifle back on the sand bags, and without disturbing the sand bags, adjust the sights so they're pointing at the bullet hole.
Guess what you're sighted in yep, because now the bullet and the sights are looking at the same place.
Speaker 5Taught everybody.
I've taught that to head and Todd moment.
I never thought it has either to Tom.
Speaker 4Told me, it's like you're going okay.
The whole idea is to get the rifle to shoot where the crosshairs are.
Right.
How about if we just moved the crosshairs to where the bullet hole is.
Everybody goes, oh huh, that would work, wouldn't it?
Speaker 1And it do it?
Speaker 4Do it's right and going ahead, And I have been doing this wrong for all my life.
Speaker 5Well, the ammo manufacturers won't tell you to do it that way now by six boxes of this three thirty eight or six.
Speaker 2And well, but I will tell you there is something to buying the different grains or different manufacturers of ammunition.
Speaker 3And now this process starts all over again.
Speaker 4Or oh yeah, change anything, change brand of ammo, bullet weight, anything.
You got to go back and do it again because it's unlike the l shoot to the same place.
Speaker 5So I've been doing that wrong.
I have two different kinds of amoas shoot.
I have two scopes mounted to the rifle I just looked at the other scope, got.
Speaker 1That one dialed in for this brand, this one.
Speaker 3Dial you know, they make binoculars.
Speaker 1That's what I have mounted to the top of my rifle.
Speaker 4Or you could just develop your two different types of flinch.
Speaker 3That's what Town's going to do with this three.
Speaker 4That's right.
Maybe I've been practicing my flinch already.
I'm getting ready for it.
Speaker 1Company.
Speaker 2You know, some people are very good shooting with the flinch, with the with the right movement.
Speaker 3They've got themselves trained up for that.
Speaker 4They really have.
You know the funny Jerry mitchellerk line about you know, I said, you know, how did you get to shoot so fast?
He said, well, I had a bad flinch, but I figured if I could shoot before I flinched, I could maybe master them.
It.
Okay, that's the funny line.
Speaker 3Whatever, we're repeating that one.
Speaker 4That's right, you know, don't don't mind me.
I just steal everybody else's lying.
Speaker 1So I hope your labor Day rocks.
Speaker 4Thank you, and goy lsu playing tonight playing USC out in Las Vegas or Oh Tigers is a good one.
Yeah.
Speaker 3Oh, so that's what you and Pat have in mind for the evening day.
Speaker 4Pat, Hey, it's fifty one years we watched TV and.
Speaker 1Never tonight they're celebrating watching it together.
Speaker 3Oh very good.
Speaker 4Well, of course I say that I haven't been over there.
She may not be home, she may have gotten a better offer.
Speaker 3Do you watch from your studio with your binoculars?
Her TV?
Speaker 4How's it going over there?
Speaker 1Honey, honey, watch your luggage back?
Speaker 4Why is my luggage back?
I haven't even been in the house.
Oh oh boy, he goes, all right, take care, guys, see you bye.
Speaker 3We'll catch you next time for the gun talk after show.
