Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not the hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as Iowoc he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening. Intelligence report time, R. Kurnkey. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio on satellite running, AM&FM microstations, AM&FM conventional stations, CB Bay stations, and UltraNet, All-Mart, and Golden Spike Technologies, East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. And it is weapons Wednesday, it is the first of September, it is the 13th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist, occupation of America with a K, 2021 Old Earth Calendar, I'm giving her all she's got, Captain! And 2021 Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. And we need the arms in hand and the deep logistics train to fight the war that we must fight to be free again. Time for an American war for independence. You need to be prepared to do so. individually, as teams or groups, and then our people who want to be free as a whole. Those who do not wish to be, will not be amongst us. We will deport them when we are done. We're not going to do what the Communists are doing right now and have been doing for quite some time. No, no, no. We're going to ship them to a place they don't want to go. while we keep the people that are decent and probably bring more in that are, well, even better than the ones we're ejecting. Because there's a whole bunch of good people out there that would mind being, you know, let's just say, American tribal members. That'll work out pretty well for us. Yeah, I'm tribal. Make no mistake about that. And as a matter of fact, again, weapons. A couple of really good little weapons that I mentioned, some I mentioned in the 2-hour block, a couple of them anyway. that are really handy to have as utility guns simply because they don't really get outdated in theirs. They're nothing you're necessarily right home about or say, wow, but they work. One of them is kind of fancy because it ended up in a James Bond movie. That was the AR-7. But it's not the only pack survival, skeletonized gun that's out there. Remember, the M6 is out there. There's an M4 knockoff. All of these were the guns that they used to tell you more about that would be onboard emergency kits in crew-served aircraft. The AR-7 was purchased by the government in good quantities during the Vietnam War and after. Of course, they are met with several different weapons that came and went. All of them were designed to be ultra-light and preferably compact so that they would be stowed out of the way. but could be very quickly brought into service. The skeletonized over under .22410 guns that you saw that popped up in reproduction in the late 1970s, early 1980s were simply stowable, conventional, safety and survival guns built as utility, you know, kit guns that they could leave around and they weren't a big deal. They weren't, you know, they weren't magazine fed. They weren't full auto. They were simply top break with two options, usually like with the over under 410-22, although there's a Savage, which is much earlier, and by the way was used. But the other, skeletonized guns, and there are several variations, were all reproduced in one form or another because there really wasn't any stress on being able to reproduce them. It's not like, wow, you're going to take the market or you're taking my cash away from me because you're violating my patent. The basic gun could be reproduced because it was done literally as like a screwdriver. That's how simple they were. They were like a screwdriver with a nice paint job. Notice I said paint job. They weren't blue. They typically were crinkle paint finished. These were designed to be totally perishable, expendables. In other words, if you lost them, the government wouldn't cry about it, so to speak, if they lost the equipment in a battlefield situation. But on the other hand, they'd give the troops enough so they could eat. maybe defend themselves as needed, everybody could have a boomstick, or at least every other third man might. And it was a nice little package to have around. Well, whether convenient for us is, like I said, a stowable backpack gun that is a game-getter that supplements your heavier weapons, which you really don't want to pull the trigger and take a squirrel out with a 5.56. If you can pop a squirrel or a muskrat or a possum or whatever and you guess what 22 makes more sense plus the advantage of the 22 without silencers or any of the other BS as far as add-on technology is that you could quiet the gun down simply by using the right round. CB caps the equivalent to them was already available in a series of Remington and Winchester short rounds that were very commonly also called gallery rounds or although those were a little more powerful sometimes you had to watch that depending what year was made and the other were parlor loads parlor gun loads why don't you remember parlor guns guys used to be when Sunday you'd go you know go to church come back everybody have a bullet trap in their parlor and they sit down and fire a handful of maybe a box full of 22 Parlor rounds, which basically is where the Yeah, little little CB cap came from you think that was something that they invented all look they discovered us No They just reinvented like I've said wait long enough. They can put it out there and everybody thinks you came up with something new Parlor guns little 22s any length barrel the idea was you were supposed to be good enough shot shot if you're inside the parlor and you had to hit that that bullet trap made out of steel to collect the 22 rounds, so you better be good enough to that. Prado wants you in the parlor. Oh, they really screwed in America, didn't they? Heaven forbid you even think about that now. Let alone having a parlor, right? Yeah, you know, think about it. So anyway, the interesting thing is that those guns are still out there to a degree, and there's a number of different options. The little chip-mount rifles, They're readily available and in reality, they fit the same niche. I know they're supposed to be for the kids and all that, but if you want to, and I've seen some really cool packages where the guys took a extra thick rubber BB buggy bumper for a standard light rifle, in other words, for bolt-action rifles, thick stocks. And what they did is they took the chipmunk rifle, took one of those, they broke out the sander, and rounded it out and matched up with the stock and screwed that to the rear end to give you a little more length. Not much, just a little more. And then otherwise, mounting a little free power scope on top of the chip-mount rifle for a utility game-getter slash maybe just sentry removal gun, okay? Another thing to remember is that the little chipmunk rifles bring everything up to regular velocity. So anything you want to use in that, you know, a WASP, a Hornet, a XX, any of the standard rifle, any of the shorts, and any of the CB cap types or gallery or parlor loads would all work in one of those little chipmunk rifles. Most of them are not magazine fed, they're just single shot trough type which is fine. Again, like I said, I've seen them gussied up a little bit so that they actually are pretty interesting little packages. And yes, yeah, you can even put a silencer on those and some people have. And that's not my first choice, but it is an option. And down the road, we go to war. Who cares? You're already if you're a war ain't nothing you're gonna do to make it any worse than you know where we already are as far as oh my god The law says the laws are really they aren't relevant at that point. They're all out the window The other side's gonna tell you that when they start Persecuting everybody because that's what they do. Well, there are no laws. Okay. Well, then there are no rules pop pop pop There you go. Thanks for the gun and the gear and the body armor and Take his boots too. We need all of that stuff So anyway, that's one area I want to touch, but the other one are single barrel shotguns. Don't poo poo them, they work every time. One thing about a single barrel or a double barrel side by side, although single barrel typically are hammered, not hammerless, about half of what you'd see in a double barrel out there are going to be hammerless, internal hammer. The advantage of the single shot is you can absolutely control the gun. They are reliable, they are typically accurate, and mostly they are cheap. I have, I don't know how many hundreds of those that I have picked up over the years that I still have, they are cashed. The Iver Johnsons used to be bargain basement at $20 a piece because nobody wanted them. And what was sad about that, well I didn't cry because I got all of my could, is when I'd pick them up for $15-$20 apiece, typically they'd never been fired or hardly been fired. 20 gauge and 12 dominant, but a lot of 4 tens. Michigan, a lot of 4 tens. And nobody wanted the 4 tens because they just didn't feel that they could get enough ammunition for them, number one. However, as cash guns, again, they're perfect. There's nothing that can go wrong. You grease the hell out of them properly. You know, first of all, clean them up, maintain them, grease them, bag them, and then store the ammunition. When you pull it out of the tube or out of the corn, it's pretty much ready to go. And again, you're not going to play fair when you're hunting enemy supply pods for gear. That's where you take a weapon like that and it's totally under your terms that you engage the single target that you're harvesting the stuff from. Most important is again, too, reliability and simplicity. I've seen those done the same way. In fact, there is a bunch of goose-gun barrel length units that are really kind of interesting because they're a little beefier barrel because of length. They are an extreme length tube and I've seen guys put again the same basic shotgun scope that you see on a Ford like a forgive me an 870 as we've seen over and over again and then using Sabos and what basically you have is a various it's like I guess it's like a Kentucky rifle maybe it's best way to describe it it's like a long-range musket but with space-age projectiles. And what's neat is it actually is pretty accurate, reasonably accurate for what it is price-wise. Now the goose gun barrels are unfortunately a little high now by comparison. Even if they walk into a show used or somebody out of somebody's odd collection, everybody likes to grab those goose gun barrels. Now hopefully they aren't just turning around and cutting them down, I doubt it. But if they come through, they usually command a better price than they have in the past. So it's going to be your standard field length barrels, improved cylinder, modified, modified means probably I'd say 50% of what you run into, modified bore. All of them work and a few, let me give you a little hint. If in your perusing the field, if you run into used guns, If you see, now listen carefully, if you see a Winchester single-shot shotgun, buy it. If they're willing to sell it for under $100, better still under $80 or under $70 or right about there, buy it. You can typically trade that up and into a collector's, you know, as a collector's item. AR-15, a Mini-14, or whatever. Guys, they haven't made Winchester single-shot shotguns for a very, very, very, very long time. And they were the first of the Winchester modern weapons to creep up into crazy price even when I was younger. only recently had Winchester discontinued and they always claim they were going to come back to the market. They may have finally now but it doesn't make any difference. Anything that's saved from before any new production run that exists, they aren't anymore and a lot of people did not think to keep them around. So what happened is that in the in the collector's circle, with so many different Winchester's to choose from as far as whatever variants, the pool is not deep. It's wide. There's a lot of different conditions, A-type, B-type, C-type guns, where it's field grade versus custom grade bird guns or trap guns that are single shot. They're out there. But those guns are worth a lot more. So you're not really buying it as a working gun, you're buying it as a steak and potatoes gun to try and upgrade your arsenal. Because you'll use it, you can market it out. So just a heads up on that one, that's a little one to look for because most people think, ah, it's a single barrel shotgun. Yeah, but if it's a flinch, if it's a flinchchester, you know, Winchester. then it is definitely something you need to look into and don't hesitate, don't wait. Besides, if you get it for $60 or $80, even a hundred, if it's a Winchester or a Remington or for that matter any American made, it's worth that money. It's not like you're gonna lose anything, long as it'll cap around and only if it doesn't have holes through it from rust, you know, all the way through the barrel, I doubt that. As long as it's in decent shape, and ideally a grandpa gun would be best, something that's been well maintained and that was what he did for bunnies, and it worked fine. It's still a good weapon to have on hand. Another thing about single barrel shotguns, double barrel is the same way, but singles are really reliable. You load around. Well, before you load around, find yourself a chair, break out the screw gun when you know you're going to be in a firefight situation where you're defending and maybe you're the one that's supposed to keep everybody busy on the bad guy side. You can take a single barrel shotgun, aim it towards the hallway, a door, whatever. Break out the screw gun, aim up, line up the chair, lay the thing across the seat. screw the chair to the ground to the floor. Make sure you use little duct tape, lock the tube into the seat of the chair aiming towards the door. Balance it out, figure out what works best. You can still open the breech, drop the back end of the gun, load a shell, put it in, drive yourself some fishing line, make yourself some dowels. I like to use an old, they always save all the old broken broom handles. that are wood, cut off a three or four inch piece, drill a hole through the center, put it in the pile. Make another one, put it in the pile. Make another one, put it in the pile. Doesn't have to be fancy. Down the road, when you set something like this up, you run your fishing line around there, you wrap it around, tape it into place, a little piece of duct tape to make sure it's secure after you wrap it about six, seven, eight times, and it's tied in first and knotted. And then you run that line back, and you can use eye hooks. And back in your primary position, if you're designed to be the diversion to keep the bad guys thinking they need to attack a central point, especially when you're setting up what is basically a collection ambush, they're looking at the hardcore crazy in the house they've got to attack because they're all the leftist slash pedo queers that are in the uniform and you're that evil right wing white guy that's in the house and boom, pop, pop, pop. Boom, pop, pop, and of course just if they come from a certain direction, you turn, you grab the dowel, you pull on the string, and boom, there's another gun in another area. You can use that also out of window just to create the, again, you want to ideally aim for a place where you're going to cut brush. When you've got a shell and you want to create the illusion of more than one rifleman or gunner, aim for something that's going to make a lot of noise when the bullet passes through. That creates high confidence that it wasn't just some other noise they're hearing. There's a boom or crack splash whatever something's hit ideally will hit somebody but You're just trying to create high confidence that you need to be the center of attention While everybody else is getting ready to ride up there hind end and finish them off Well be creative people and the single barrel shotgun is great for that by the way a single barrel 12 gauge is also a great rifle grenade launcher 20 gauge works well for that too. There's all kinds of dirty tricks for that. Just a heads up. There are all kinds of things you can do with single barrel shotguns. So just put that in the back of the brain pan there as far as ideas. But as far as the unsung heroes of the utility world of firearms, no, that little 20 gauge, 12 gauge, hell even 16 gauge. Not as much ammo out there as it used to be, but A lot of 16-gauges come through almost for free, little or nothing, even in punk guns. We run into those with Stevens all the time. Stevens made a lot of 16-gauge. They were catering to the southwestern United States market. 16-gauge was big all over the country, but really big down in southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It outshined 12 gauge and everything else, 16 gauge. And Stevens moved into that market quite well. They weren't the only ones. Everybody made 16 gauge. But Stevens really pushed on that market and sold well. So a lot of those come out, a lot of 16 gauge guns come out of that part of the planet with no papers, grandpa guns in immaculate condition. They aren't just Stevens, there's Remington's, there's Browning's, everything you can imagine. Problem is it is the odd man out right now here And so if you do have one you've inherited ammo don't pull the trigger Kind of hang on to it. There's 16 gauges a little tougher to find you will see it It's around but it's a little tougher where it used to be in full competition with 12 gauge anyway another thing in handguns, I'm going to mention this again High points are still a great way to fill in the blank if you have say a 45-19-11 or you've got your favorite M&P 9 millimeter or 40 caliber but you wanted something in the other calibers. If you got to buy a set of golf clubs buying all Steyr golf clubs is kind of pricey. Buying all Glock golf clubs is kind of pricey. On the other hand you can have yourself whatever favorite Glock or Steyr or say your you know HK. because you're trying to keep up with the boys down the road and the latest magazines. You know, a magazine article because it's the most important thing you have to have that fourth generation Glock because your first generation Glock just isn't good anymore. Yeah, right. Anyway, but you want a 40 cal. You got a 9? You got a 4? You want a 40 cal. Go to High Point. If you got a 10 millimeter, you know, that's one thing I've noticed a lot of people admitting is, man, the 10 millimeters are kind of pricey, except at high point. So if you actually want to put a 10 millimeter into your inventory, go over to high point. That way that ammunition is covered. Why? Well, the feds carry it. There's 10 millimeter in government. You know, you're going to be popping them eventually. There's no way they're not going to get propping at the mouth crazy. Side with the communists. Start to, you know, do the crazy town thing. So it'd be good if you acquire caches of 10 millimeter, you may run into a truck or a van that, you know, was a supply point. And all of a sudden you got a bunch of 10 millimeter ammo, but you don't have anything to use it with. Well, yeah, you do. Guess what? You're the only one. You get the whole pile. If nobody else has any 10mm, you're the guy that wins. I get all this, don't I? Well, we think we can do something. What are you going to do with it? You know anybody? Well, no. Well, I get all the 10mm of that. Now, it probably won't really be true, but you at least get a couple cases paired off in the pile because you actually have a high point 10mm carbine or rifle. Think about it. Either way it works. Now another thing here about high point is remember they do have a lifetime worry however long that lasts for the government with the government being the way it is at least it should work well most of the time and Needle to say the while they are straight in line magazines guys they work they really do but one of the things that we were talking about and wondering if it's gone through is The high point bullpup pistol kits that are out there now for the carbines Now, they are caliber specific. I've read up on all of that. And the thing that was being waited for by one of the companies was to see a non-proprietary magazine solution. In other words, rather than high point only, actually molding the body of the bullpup so that it takes Glock standard mag. Now, we were told that it barely has happened, if it has. double plus good and what that means is if you do have a Glock all of a sudden you got a saddle carbine that would be again bullpup design kind of out of the way gun a good little short short stashed gun like the regular high point and It would take your Glock mags. No, that would be kind of cool. Now. What would I do with that? I wouldn't know the guy that one of the articles and videos it was on YouTube and The guy wanted a 10 millimeter, which is cool, something I was just talking about a minute ago. So he figured, what the hell, I'll go high point. I don't want to spend $800 or $1,000 on a gun like that or more because of what he was looking at. And so he decided to go with the high point because that way he could actually have one. He could have a bullpup, but not spend every other penny he had and not pay the rent that much. So what's interesting about this is that so far most of them that I've seen, they do not have anything but the standard High Point magazine system, which is workable. It works the way it is. But if they do take the Glock, I will remind you that once that threshold has been broken, these are going to become very, very, very popular for other people who before tried to poop through High Point simply because of the magazines. Now I don't have a problem with them the way they are. I can live with them if they do have a larger magazine capacity, but I can live with them right just the way they are right now because I understand how I want to use the weapon. But once they produce one of these, all of your Glock drums, all of your Glock large stick mags, 31, 33 rounds, whatever, all of a sudden work just fine in that light carbine which gives you a lot of firepower potential. The problem is the cost of ammunition. But as far as the usefulness of such a weapon, well, very much so. In fact, I recommend it. It's a direction to move. The only thing is, again, the high points, as they are, work fine out of the box. If you want to create a compression gun, then these little bullpup kits look to be quite desirable. And again, other people are experimenting. You need to do a little research. Go check them out over on YouTube. See if it makes sense for you, and if it does, then carry on to the next step, which is investing. Now, again, I can't stress enough, all of the bullpup kits are caliber specific. If you have a 9mm high point, you've got to have a 9mm kit because of the way that they cast the bullpup frames. Always remember that. They have to accommodate each variant on the gun to include the caliber itself. Go ahead, College General. Who do we have? Tom, what do you think of high .380s? Oh, there's nothing wrong with them. The biggest problem is the caliber just, you know, availability. The .380, I think, you know, everybody goes, well, why did they make it? Well, because they have a .380 pistol, so why not? You know, if we're in America, we wouldn't be yet, you know, complaining about them building it. It'd be like, hey, build more. But instead there's this attitude about pooping somebody who at least got motivated and cranked a new product out. The 9mm is so comfortable, any of you listening can shoot the gun. Ladies, if you're no felt recoil, it's like an AR-15, there's very little or no felt recoil. But with the 380 Auto, all that thing, you could keep that on target all day. Kind of like the difference between a real Mac 10 And the little 380 Mach 10s that they came out of, what is it, Mach 11, Mach 9, Mach 8, what was the designation? Oh god, I can normally rattle it up. But you know, the little 380 Machs, which by the way, all the Machs were assassin guns. They were designed to be full auto, massive amount of firepower out when you pull the trigger, dump the magazine on the target, everything hit him because you kick in the door, Hose down the guy sitting at the table and walk back out. And run back out if he had bodyguards. Hopefully he got the bodyguards too. But that was the purpose behind those types of guns. The 380 Auto version was very, very compact and with the same kind of lethality. Because in full auto the sucker just, it would just dump the mag in one, two. In fact, well, three. One, two, almost three. But you put all those rounds on target that you started at the groin or start at the knee level and just let the gun ride. Well, also the high point saw is kind of like so bulky and heavy that if you do run out of ammo you can knock someone in the head with it and stuff. And still not damage the gun. Well, they're really not that clunky, but they are a good heavy weapon. That's part of why they stay on target as they like carbine. The weight of the weapon is not extreme, but it is sufficient to keep the weapon stable for control purposes as part of the basic formula. Recoil weight and energy applied with regard to any compensation system. The big thing about the 380 Auto is I would assume it's probably not much bigger than any of the others anyway, but it's just a more comfortable round for somebody who might be concerned about felt recoil or is just trying to minimize energy in general. We've got people that are quite a bit older than the average bear. And a weapon like that, the 380 Auto, very comfortable to shoot, very forgiving. It really can't get any better than that particular configuration. I kind of talked about this about three, four years ago. And we got in this discussion when the 380 Auto was being promoted. I would love to see it a .32 ACP high point derby. That's something that there are very few of, and that little .32 automatic pistol round, .32 ACP. I still have a quantity of the Czech ammo and the Czech 32 is a SMG ammunition that was used in the Scorpion. Now all their pistols had to be beefed up in order to make that route, in order for them to put it in service because remember anybody might have to use anybody's ammo. And so that's why all the Czech guns can handle higher pressures and because of that they built the ammunition to get there. So, you take that little high point carbine and 32 ACP, if they made it, which they don't, and you had the check ammunition or you built the check ammo to spec, you've got a real biting round that reaches a good distance with a little longer barrel. And the 380 Auto is, you know, the same way. You could do some really neat things with the 380 Auto like it can with a 9. The only thing is just a consideration is do you have a lot of ammo? That was why originally they said why would they build that? Well, there's a lot of people out there who do have a lot of 380 Auto. A lot. I know, I've seen it. In fact, it's funny with the collection, the only thing is it's an archaeological dig because it's a wide selection, you know, 380 normal, 380 Auto with normal. ammunition, PMC, well one of our friends down the road has got like about 9,000 rounds of 380 auto PMC in the military boxes. And he just bought it the right time years ago. It's not going to go bad. It's all in, you know, cans in a controlled environment storage site where he's got everything prepped, you know, squared away. It's just the optimal condition. So, there's a lot of 380 Auto out there. There's even a lot of 32 automatic out there. It's just not the first line choice anymore by comparison because everybody's promoted these other calibers. But look at even the game played there. Guys, you just had to have a 40 cal. You just had to have a 40 cal. Get a 40 cal. You just had to have a 40 cal. It was the only thing that's going to ever work again. It'll put everything out. Everything will be gone. 40 cal. 40 cal. What are they doing right now? All it took was a handful of stupid magazine articles. and all of a sudden they got to drop their 40 caliber pistols and buy 9 millimeter now. Now you think about that. You mean the 40 caliber just went bad? It went scale? What happened? Well it's the fad mentality that they pretty well worked out the math formula for many many years ago. And otherwise 40 caliber has its you know advantages on one end and and a few disadvantages from the other direction. The same is true in 9 millimeter. In fact, why do you think there's always been this kind of search beyond 9 millimeter? 9 millimeter's been around for 130 years now. 130, well, 33, 133, 134 years. Remember, the 9 millimeter parabellum in its prototype round was also promoted with the Bauchard before the Luger. In fact, it predates the Bouchard because they had the idea of the round with the history, but they never really had something to apply it and there wasn't any better, it was indifferent, the guns that were available. And none of them were in a big production. But 9mm Parabellum took basically the European theater by storm and the export market by storm. And it all started with the 30 Luger, well, 763 Mauser. and the 9mm round, 9mm Parabellum. Now there were other rounds too, by the way, let's not forget, 9mm Colibri, 9mm Steyr, those are all longer rounds in the standard 9mm Parabellum and they actually got about 300 feet per second more energy depending on what year they were loaded. 9 millimeter Largo. You probably at least have heard of some of that. Why? Well, because 9 millimeter Largo is what they did the asterisk in. The model 400 asterisk in 9 millimeter Largo, the model 600, is in 9 millimeter Parabellum. So again, but it's just a matter of flavor change. The 380 Auto will do what it's always done. It's also known in Europe as 9 millimeter Kurtz or 9 millimeter Short. What does that tell you? They differentiate with the 380 designation. And that market has changed because of global connections, so the name pretty well is consistent now. The nomenclature from one part of the planet to the next. Everybody is on the same page there. So we don't have three or four different descriptions for the same cartridge. Remember, what was it? 0.380 government, which is the British version of 380 Auto or whatever. Anyway, other things to consider, don't toss out your 380 autos. I know you don't have as much ammo for them, but that will change. And don't worry, they will eventually, if we go to war, we'll be the ones having to produce it. But none of those weapons are obsolete. And there are some very fine guns made of 380 Auto. But I wouldn't even hesitate, most of them, I wouldn't hesitate to carry as it is, but I used to carry a Model 1922 Browning in 380 Auto all day. Nonstop, used to carry six magazines in different locations and one in the tube. It's a straight inline magazine, used to buy the mags for $3, $4 a piece actual Browning stamped. And the gun pistol ran like a singer sewing machine. Amor-less, smooth pocket pistol. The Model 1922 is the extended barrel version of the Model 1910. And again, made in mostly .32 ACP and .380 Auto. There were a few other foreign calibers, but that was it. And that was one of the most popular pocket pistols of its era, even though the Colts were out there and they were popular. That little browning pocket was the Cats meow in its day. So much so that Browning reintroduced the amount of 1922 back in 1975-76, about the time of the bicentennial, as an import pistol back into the United States. So again, how long had it been around? A little hint. Browning M-1922. Yeah, it's a year, by the way. The other one, the 1910? Yeah, it's by the year. They kept it simple back then for a while, not long. So otherwise, we're all, let's see, couple of things to remind everybody, watch for powder if you're going to be reloading. This is another thing that I had a lot of questions about with somebody I was talking to today about powder specs. Well, Here's the problem. You hopefully didn't throw away any of your old reloading books and if you could find any copies, I don't care if they're digital right now, you got to pull them off the internet. If you do print them, get yourself a three ring binder, get yourself some 8.5x11 sleeve plastic sheet savers. and load the whole thing into a binder but make a non-battery necessary copy. Make a hard copy ASAP of any of the older loading manuals. Why? The older the loading manual, the more likely you're going to run into some of those powders you've been finding at the gun shows. We had a yard sale down the road here. Guy couldn't post anything on Facebook about guns. But he did happen to put the powder trickler and a shotgun loading press into one of the General estate sale pictures. It was kind of off to the side Well, we ran over there real quick as we saw the pre you know, pre sale pictures and the guy had about 40 pounds of mixed powders and He had accurate, he had unique, he had some Hodgkin, he had some Husqvarna. Let's see what else did he have. He had some Husky, about four pounds and that was about it. But that stuff came in. When that came in in the 80s and the early 90s, guys, that stuff took off like wildfire. Not because the match was near the can. but simply because the product was outstanding. And as far as I know, it's still coming in. However, the earlier powders are some, some of those are off the chart. They're not on the chart because they're not referenced as available. But there's tons of this stuff, tons, and I say tons, I mean hundreds or thousands of tons of older powders out there. This is why you want to build a library now. You're out there and somebody has a whole pile of Hodgkin three-digit powders that you don't necessarily recognize. Now another thing you remember about that, and this is another thing about reloading powders, in general, just because it says Hodgkin doesn't mean it was made by Hodgkin. Hodgkin and any of these other contractors also purchased volume bulk loads of stuff from the DoD or the War Department, depending on how old you are. And this stuff was repackaged by the powder companies. Now part of it is that they probably had a contract run and they may have built some of it themselves, but because they were, you know, big in the industry, they also acquired overages or last runs from the other powder companies that were out there that were independent contracts. And because of this, some very odd powder specs show up that if you don't have the particulars, you're going to have cut pressure increase or things of that nature. Not extreme, but you've got to be careful if you like loading like Dirty Harry. And I don't recommend that. I've said this a million times. You're best off doing a middle or just below the middle range. load specs to try and get more cartridges loaded right now. If you lose 85 or 100 feet per second, it may not be that critical. In pistol, nothing else. In rifle, not so much. Excuse me. And not that critical in that you can still get all the performance needed to get the job done. Most important with being able to download a little bit, I would remind you, how many of you have been out to the range shooting? How much have you shot? Yeah, I know most people are going to say, I can't afford to do that. Well, that's why you reload. And that's why when you go, when you do reload, you make up training loads. You can't shoot as much because it gets more expensive. That's why it got into reloading. So A, you can make it cheaper to begin with. But understand, if you look at that loading chart, you can go down the scale and go lighter loads with, and even change the bullet out to save money. And you could be out there shooting right now and reloading, of course, whatever you shoot. One of the other advantages I will point out, if you don't load like Dirty Harry and try to go for the most powerful rifle or handgun in the world, But instead you go for common sense. Your brass can be reloaded indefinitely. Now remember, here's another thing about shooting. Every time that you fire, if you're right now standing there and you have a 45 and your buddy has a 45, there are two options. A, separate yourself on the range. I don't want to be close to my friend. Well, I know you do too, probably, but we don't want you so close you guys mix up your brass. If you're shooting a number of different weapons and they're the same weapons, you want to try and make sure that if you're reloading for training purposes, but also because you might be using it for combat purposes down the road, we're going to keep the brass, of course, lined up with the pistol that we shot in, and that way it's already chamber fire form for reloading purposes. You don't have to do as much. Remember, you're saving time. You can save time and save money, you benefit. It's a double plus good thing. We want to do that. We want to accomplish that. To get that done, there are certain things that we have to do. and collecting the brass and marking it for the gun by putting it into a container or a box, whatever, where you can confirm that it's with gun B or gun A or gun D or whatever, gun gun gun hole, come up with a code, whatever you want to do. When you reload that, you shouldn't have to throw reload and otherwise your powder process is the same primers or whatever. But if you keep again, dialing back a little bit still maintain the basic performance of the gun But stretch it out so you've got more bullets, you know more cartridges loaded per pound then you're going to be better off in terms of time on the range and all range time is good time. It's just like being a pilot all stick time is good time. Those many of us have a glider or a 747 and everything in between. All stick time is good time. All range time is good time. Which is nothing I'm going to bring up real quick here is airsoft, airsoft, airsoft, airsoft. I talked to a person today, he said, well, I can't afford to pull the trigger because it's like, you know, a dollar around every time. And I said, don't you mean like every time you pull a digger, it's $1 or $2, $3 apart? Yeah. You know, like I've said on the air here. Well, airsoft and in fact, I was just looking at one of the new airsoft just spring-loaded guns that not UK arms but a competitor UK is usually kind of their cheapies, but they're good cheapies. Well, somebody else is out there. It might just be the UK made up their own new company name. They do this all the time by the way, all the time. All metal construction 1911 spring Barrel works actually articulates like the actual, you know, pistol it represents. The barrel actually, you know, drops out of battery, the whole nine yard drops indexes. When you work the action, all of the different elements function, all of the controls. The only thing I don't believe is the pistol, the pistol grip safety, the grip safety didn't work. It's there, but I don't believe that pivots off to double check now thinking off the top of my head. However, this is a a Spring airsoft gun which is low end because it's spring it's single shot You gotta you cock it you aim you fire then you have to stop Go through the slide moving the slide you operate the gun But for fit deal and finish this weapon is exactly what it represents in 1911 and the price was $14. Making it a very, very all metal, by the way, I gotta mention that too, all metal, two-tone pistol, silver slide, dark metal frame. So it'll be like chrome slide and standard blued, slight, dark finish frame. magazines are available. They are about $1.60 a piece, which is not bad. So this is an excellent example of a new modern parlor gun. Oh, that's right. Only the difference is when parlor guns were around, when you pulled the trigger, people heard the, at least through the walls, right? With Airsoft, there's nothing to hear. With airsoft you can train every day and there's nothing to hear. Go ahead, call or tip it there. Yeah, this is Tex, Max. I just want to ask you a quick question about here in Texas, this is our first day of the permitless carry. I don't really want to call it constitutional carry because it's not completely, you know, constitutional. You can't just walk anywhere with it, you know, certain areas, certain places. But... At least we've got permit less carry, not to say what they're also calling it on the news and stuff. But if what is your opinion on the permit less carry and is it better to carry open or is it better to just keep it concealed? Well, you have you have, you know, I get you. I can get down there as I need to. But it is it an option? I mean, you really have a full option right now. You can carry it undercover and carry it open carry. Yeah, September 1st, as I talked to one of our people who has been with the Republican Party here where they picked the delegates there, they had to give us a bone because we were after a lot more and everything and they had to give us something if they wanted to keep their jobs. Right. Well, the thing about it is, okay, It's a matter of attitude with the cops and how they're going to play this. You know that as well as I do. One of the reasons that I think that they changed this is because everybody was kind of laughing. I did it all the time on the air. You've heard me. Well, Cowboys can't carry a gun open in Texas, but here in Michigan we can, and we're a stinking leftist state. So, at least Texas has re-embraced their heritage, which was screwed by Bush. Remember, this goes back to that female that you had in Texas there, and George Herbert Walker Bush, who pushed for the gun bans in Texas that included open carry, which was traditionally field carry. Now, now the thing is, if you're a cowboy, now you don't have to apologize. If you're wearing a cowboy outfit and you're on a horse and you want to put a six gun in a holster the way the cowboy traditionally had, then nobody can say anything. So that makes sense. If you're trying not to draw attention, then concealed as long as it's not a, if there's, there's no visibility restriction or anything, right? Right, right, yeah. I mean, yeah. You don't have to be able to see it or you see it in any way, shape or form. Now here's the only question. If you're carrying and a cop approaches you, and I'm not asked this yet, do you have to tell the cop that you're carrying? Oh, I don't know. I don't remember that part of the law. I've gone over it quite a bit. Better check it. Only... Well, here's the reason because what they're gonna do that you remember the cops are revenuing they're always gonna look for some way to screw you and They don't like the idea that they're they're not the only ones that they're the only they they don't like the idea that they are now not the only ones carrying God You know what I mean? They like that idea that they were able to wag their their lodge weenie over everybody. I don't care what anyone says So the thing you got to watch is you know, go check it. Do you if you're carrying concealed Did they put it in there that well you have to inform the cop or now you're in violation Which is basically that rub your tummy blink your eyes pat your head now if that's the case you just got to keep that in mind remember it Whenever you're in a situation where some you know idiot uniform shows up, okay? That if they pop they're coming up and approaching you it's like officers are going farther You guys are talking about the Texas gun laws Right, thank you. Yeah, we have quote-unquote constitutional carry now. Now the governor said constitutional carry was one thing and the bill says something else, but you got these lawyers out here barking about how you can't conceal carry at XYZ location. You know, only, I think the one was saying something like public parks. It's confusing. They're confusing the issue on what you can and cannot do. And they're doing it intentionally because they're trying to take it to the Supreme Court to strike it down just like they are the abortion thing. Yeah, and also businesses can put up a sign saying that if they don't want you to carry concealed or open in their business, they can put up a sign. It's got to be where you can see it though. Well, that gets into I can't violate your right so you can't violate my right. You know, I never have a problem with somebody being armed around me even if it's somebody I don't necessarily like because they have the right to be armed to defend themselves just like I do and that's the way it's supposed to be but that's not the way that they treat it. These companies can tell you that you can't carry a firearm but if you ask them what kind of security they have to protect you in your life, they don't have any. They're not liable for it. So them telling you that you can't protect yourself, that's a complete violation of your rights. Exactly. Well, the thing is that remember, they're doing the prior, they're taking the private property issue and presenting it as a way for the anti-gun crowd to make a statement. That's all that's for. But otherwise, and again, here's what's your basic rule? What should it be? If they are anti-gun, why are you spending money on them? Okay, I want to remind everybody of that. Everybody, it's like the Corona Beer Virus thing. I had a guy say the very thing we've been talking about, maybe he's listening right now. But I just didn't say anything about who I was, I just said, hey, listen to this. Now, the interesting thing is, his perspective, and I've heard this everywhere I've gone by at least one, two, or three customers, sometimes the whole group is talking, is that, well, you know what? It's social Darwinism slash the suicide shot is a great way to thin out the enemy. And it's like, yep, that's exactly how I look at it. It's like, well, you needed to know who those people were. Right now, with the gun issue, we need to know who those people are. We shouldn't be giving them your money. If that's the way they are, It's time not to do business with them. We bend over too many times and don't follow through on that. It's like, oh, oh, wait a minute. Oh, sorry, I'm carrying a gun. I could do that if you want, walk in the front of the store. Oh, I was, you know what? Like, we're thinking about buying a whole bunch of stuff here, but oh, oh, oh, oh, you guys don't want me with a gun. I'm sorry, I gotta go. Now, I don't know how many businesses are going to be stupid enough to offend a whole lot of customers when they can't get customers right now. You know what I mean? Of course, they also may not have products, so they might even be worth the trouble anyway. That's another part of the balance in the formula here, guys. However, one of the things that I want you to check for me, TexMex, and if you could, call in tomorrow. The particulars on this, guys, are do you have to if you are approached by a cop? See, they do this with FFL or FFL with concealed carry in Michigan. If you have a concealed carry permit, you can pretty well carry anywhere except for the very limited list of places, you know, obviously you can't. But whenever a cop shows up, you got to tell them that you're armed, okay? So my question is did they oh, yeah, well, we'll let you conceal carry However, you're in violation If you don't inform the cop every time you see one that's a preal if they approach you and they're gonna talk to you or they're gonna stop you because they need to question you you have to tell them every time or can you just casually sit there because it's none of their damn business and As far as I know that that part is correct that They you don't have to tell them anything, but I will look on over they did go over some of that stuff in the bill Yeah, they tried to make it Because it was goa that pushed it the most and right, you know, they made sure that the cops can't really do much harassment Very good. Well, again, to help our listeners do, other guys that are listening that are in Texas. Guys, for everybody out there, we get a lot of work to do. Bad guys are in motion. It's September 1st. We're going to be gone here in a minute. But for all of you organized armed equipment train as malicious, establish a 5-10 program in your area of operation. Be prepared. The bad guys are unhappy. And they've already pulled a bunch of major cards just in the last, what, three, four weeks. God bless our republic. Just as the new world over. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run. We are in March for day 9. Hurrah. Guys the border, the border, the border, the border. The enemy is coming across and forth. For all the garbage overseas in Afghanistan. Before they let it fall. They are already bringing a whole pile of them just across the way from Mexico. From all points of the compass. including Afghanistan. God bless y'all. We're gonna take off for now. Ed, take it over. We'll see you tomorrow. Same time. Bye-bye.
