    Podcast Summary

    • Gideon Optics sponsorship mishapDespite an awkward sponsorship mention mishap, Gideon Optics continues to provide high-quality, affordable sights and scopes for gun enthusiasts.

      Gideon Optics offers high-quality, feature-rich sights and scopes for gun enthusiasts at affordable prices. During a podcast episode, the hosts reminisced about old memories and accidentally skipped over a sponsor mention for Sean's alleged "piss fetish" advertisement. The conversation then veered off into a discussion about Latin scientific names, the taste of giant tortoise meat, and potential ways to obtain one. Though it's unclear if eating a giant tortoise is illegal or not, the hosts joked about various ways to obtain and consume it, including using it as a butter delivery device.

    • Turtle meat, Shooting glassesThe hosts discussed trying new types of game meat like turtle and joked about it. They also shared their experiences with different shooting glasses brands and types.

      During this episode of the show, the hosts discussed various topics related to hunting, shooting, and outdoor gear. One of the topics that came up was the desire to try new types of meat, specifically turtle or tortoise. The hosts shared their experiences with other types of game meat and joked about the size and hard shell of these animals. Another topic was the search for shooting glasses, leading to a discussion about different brands and types, such as Bernells and Leopold. A listener named Scott made a comment about using an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) in a PRS (Precision Rifle Series) match, and the hosts shared their thoughts on the idea. Another listener, Jacob, asked about the term "sub-fragates," which led to a humorous discussion about a possible new cult called "fraggots." The episode also featured a segment called "Dear WLS," where listeners submit questions and the hosts provide answers and recommendations. Overall, the episode showcased the hosts' knowledge and enthusiasm for various shooting and hunting-related topics, as well as their sense of humor and willingness to engage with their audience.

    • Equipment for hunting/shootingChoosing the right equipment depends on the animal size, timidity, and use case. For smaller animals like coyotes, a variable power scope can be beneficial. For security or combat purposes, a dual-purpose pistol may be a good option.

      When it comes to hunting or shooting, having the right equipment and understanding the situation can make a significant difference. For smaller animals like coyotes, a variable power scope can be beneficial due to their size and timid nature. On the other hand, for security or combat purposes, a dual-purpose pistol like the CZ Tactical Sport or the CZ Shadow 2 can be a good option. However, the choice ultimately depends on the specific use case and budget. It's also important to note that ethical considerations should always be taken into account, such as avoiding unnecessary harm to animals. Additionally, there seems to be a shared appreciation for dark humor and a sense of camaraderie among the speakers.

    • Oral thrush treatment, gun preferencesThe speaker discussed his personal battle with oral thrush and recommended specific handguns, including the Rock Island Armory 1911 Tack Ultra FS, for those on a budget. He also shared his positive experience with the brand Blue Alpha for belts and wallets. Potential solutions for reducing gas in the face while shooting a CZ Bren 2 include adjusting the gas block and using a larger suppressor.

      The speaker had a prolonged struggle with a severe case of oral thrush, which required multiple doctor visits and strong prescription medication to treat. In the world of firearms, the speaker mentioned his preference for certain handguns, specifically the Rock Island Armory 1911 Tack Ultra FS, and recommended options for those looking for a gun under $1,000. He also shared his experience with the brand Blue Alpha, praising their belts and wallets. A listener's question about reducing gas in the face while shooting a CZ Bren 2 led to a discussion about potential solutions, including adjusting the gas block and using a larger suppressor.

    • Suppressor suitability for specific calibersSome suppressors aren't ideal for high-volume shooting or specific calibers, like Bowers suppressors for 5.56mm, while subgun cans excel with nine millimeter weapons.

      While there are various suppressor options for different firearms, not all suppressors are suitable for high-volume shooting or specific calibers. For instance, some suppressors, like those made by Bowers, may not be ideal for 5.56mm due to their design. On the other hand, subgun cans are excellent for beating up nine millimeter weapons like the MP5. Additionally, while it's possible to submit a Form 1 to the ATF to create a machine gun, the process can be lengthy and uncertain, with the potential for legal battles. As for the Watch Dogs volunteer program at schools, opinions vary. Some believe it's a positive way for dads to act as role models, while others have concerns about security and potential legal issues. Ultimately, it's a personal decision.

    • Role of adults in children's livesAdults, especially men, should approach their role in children's lives with care and consideration, as some may see them as intrusive or threatening.

      The role of adults, particularly men, in the lives of children should be approached with caution and consideration. While some may see public figures or volunteers as potential role models, others view their presence as intrusive or even threatening. The speaker expresses his preference for being the sole parental figure in his children's lives and expresses skepticism towards the idea of other adults intervening. Additionally, the conversation touches on the topic of night sights for guns and the introduction of the Century Arms Centurion 14, a high-power and affordable clone of a classic high-power gun. The speaker expresses excitement about this new product and its affordability. Overall, the conversation covers a range of topics, but the underlying theme is the importance of being mindful of the role adults play in the lives of children and the value of practical and effective tools like night sights for gun users.

    • New battle rifles and opticsAtlanta Arms G three and C308 clones offer excellent value as battle rifles with unique sights. A 3D printed silencer and a new thermal laser rangefinder from Dead Air and XVision Optics showcase innovation and improved performance.

      Both G three and C308 clones from Atlanta Arms are excellent choices for those seeking a badass battle rifle. The former comes with a drum rear sight, while the latter has a set me sight. Both are well-regarded and offer good value for their price. Another notable mention is the Dead Air Lazarus six silencer, a 3D printed suppressor weighing around a pound. Despite some skepticism, its unique gas management system and full auto rating make it an intriguing option for shooters. Lastly, XVision Optics has released a new thermal laser rangefinder that can detect targets up to 1,200 yards away and mounts to their thermal scopes. However, it may require an extension for proper eye relief. Overall, these new products showcase innovation and advancements in weaponry and optics, offering shooters improved performance and functionality.

    • Firing around cornersIn combat situations, firing around corners can be a standard tactic, but it's crucial to ensure there are no civilians or non-combatants present before engaging. In different contexts, gun companies collaborate with organizations to create special edition guns, which can help reduce the influence of larger organizations in the industry.

      In certain situations, revealing your position by firing around corners can be a standard tactic, although it comes with risks. In a combat zone, this tactic is taught and not unique, but it's crucial to ensure there are no civilians or non-combatants present before engaging. In a different context, gun companies like Henry Repeating Rifles have teamed up with Gun Owners of America (GOA) to create special edition guns with the organization's logo. This collaboration supports gun rights organizations and offers unique products to consumers. While some may argue against the necessity or aesthetics of these special editions, they can help reduce the influence of more established organizations like the NRA in the industry. Additionally, the US military trains soldiers in close quarters combat (CQB), including blind firing around corners, due to the importance of target discrimination and ownership of rounds. Finally, Mitchell Defense manufactures high-quality rifles, and their WLS-25 discount code is available until September 9th.

    • GOA's mission for gun rightsGOA is a no-compromise gun rights organization, offering discounts, conference access, and legal protection. They value freedom over slavery and encourage gun enthusiasts to join.

      The Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a no-compromise gun rights organization working to fill the gap left by the NRA. They were formed in the late 80s and have been making a difference ever since. GOA members can enjoy discounted memberships, free entry to the annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, and legal protection. It's important to remember that freedom is dangerous but worth fighting for. Always. The organization's mission is to seek freedom over slavery, and they encourage gun enthusiasts to join them in their cause. During the conversation, there were references to the NATO standardization in 2021 and the P90, which was developed in the late 80s. Gideon Optics was also mentioned, offering affordable and high-performing rifle and pistol optics. Additionally, it was emphasized that no one should struggle in silence and that help is available for those dealing with suicidal thoughts by dialing 988. And finally, a reminder that we must outlive our enemies and always choose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
