I get where you’re coming from about gun laws and hunting with an AR15, but it’s interesting to see how different states handle regulations. For example, I recently read about Massachusetts’ specific gun laws at https://thelawreference.com/leyes-de-armas-en-massachusetts/, and it made me realize how much these rules can vary and impact hunters and gun owners differently depending on where they live. It’s definitely a complex topic.
Great story. One that us Oregon hunters know well. May your heart be happy and your tag get filled. NEXT TIME.

Journalists doing what they do- writing things the way they want to believe, not facts. Way to go Tom!
Thomas's audio disappears half way through and never comes back fyi.
It is necessary to choose weapons not blindly following any trends, but depending on your needs. You can find a really good range here https://gritrsports.com/ and get help with your choice.
I found out about the Gun Talk podcast last summer. This is my favorite gun podcast to listen. you guys have made long drives alot better. Thank you.
well i can't take listening about some 1911 anymore. A 1911 style pistol is no where as good as modern pistols. Matter of fact the browning HiPower is a far better design. i had to stop listening and unsubscribe before i puked from nausea.
great episode. good point about the snobbery and infighting. i have said for years it is impossible to go to a gun store without getting into an argument with some know it all. social media has made it worse. gave these types a megaphone.
We should be able too and I wish everyone who is capable of carrying a rifle in public would carry one everyday. Then it becomes normal.
That caller was dense!!
I would also choose the 686+ if it had to be one. I own one in a 4". excellent revolver.
good
Audio from the guest in Hawaii is awful.
You’ve got 13 seconds of fire extinguisher. That’s it. If 13 seconds won’t free up a path out...
In Louisiana, the 80’s even, the boys DID carry guns in their trucks on gun racks out in the parking lot. No one dreamed that anyone of us would handle a gun improperly, or threaten anyone! The degradation of society cannot be attributed by the standard I felt set by them. Thank you. I’m horrified by the disrespect now perceived as standard.
Largest contributing factor for your 1st caller with the AR accuracy issue. Bullet weight and barrel twist is critical. Heavy bullets =fast twist 62gr-77gr 1-7 to 1-9. Lightweight bullets 45gr-55gr 1-12 twist.
Greetings from Canada !! You guys are awesome as usual.
I'm a new listener and ive never been around people who like talking about guns as much as i do. Your radio show really hits the nail on the head when it comes to firearms. I've got so many questions...
