Sink, sync, sync, sink, in sync, in sync, back, lips, back, all right.
00:00:22.759 --> 00:00:24.359

00:00:24.599 --> 00:00:24.759
Yeah.
00:00:24.919 --> 00:00:30.199
Ladies and gentlemen, we are back with another episode of Off the Beaten Path.

Literally older and bigger than me.
00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:38.599
Yeah, fair.
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:38.840

00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.039
Doing big things out of Jersey.
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.039
He is a two-way powerhouse.
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:44.679
Oh, yeah.
00:00:45.319 --> 00:00:48.280
We we met this brother, I want to say two years ago, right?
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.239
Yeah, at shows, or was it shot?
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:51.960
Yeah, goals.
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:53.320
It was goals.
00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:54.600
Yeah, or in the media room.
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:54.759
Yep.
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:55.960
Yep.
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.479
And uh that's where the food was.
00:00:58.839 --> 00:01:00.280
We've been following your journey.
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.000
Uh T.
00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:01.960
I'm gonna call you T.
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:02.519
That's right.
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:03.719
If you don't like it, get over it.
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:04.120
That's right.
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:05.319
Oh man, I'm hurt.
00:01:05.479 --> 00:01:06.359
Yeah, I'm hurt.
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:13.079
Uh I'm gonna so we known T for about that long, and I've been following you now, just watching your journey.
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.680
And obviously, we connected again down at Two-Way Freedom Fest.
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.719
And I got to hear more of your story in person.
00:01:20.039 --> 00:01:22.439
And that was like for me, that did it.
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.719
That was the nail in the coffin.
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.799
Because Rob and I, Breeze, my bad, Rob.
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:26.840
My bad, Breeze.
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:34.039
Nobody sounds Breezy and I like to make sure that when we interview folks, we're interviewing an authentic person.
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.280
You're as authentic as they come.
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:36.679
That's it.
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:44.280
So uh out of the great liberal state of Jersey, tell us how you're fighting the good fight.
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:45.079
Introduce yourself first.
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.439
I'm Tony Simon.
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.239
I run the diversity shoot, diversity shoot.com.
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:49.560
Yep.
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.319
2015 I came up with diversity shoot because I was pissed off.
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:54.840
Um why were you pissed?
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:55.799
Let's go back.
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.560
Jump in the way back machine.
00:01:58.039 --> 00:01:58.840
Got out the corps.
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.120
I'm from Virginia, born and raised.
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:01.079
Yeah, thank you.
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.599
All right, all right, thank you.
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.799
I don't know what to say.
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.159
That always confuses me.
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:05.399
Yeah.
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.039
You're welcome.
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.560
Because you volunteered to go in.
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:08.039
Yeah.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:08.280
Yeah.
00:02:08.519 --> 00:02:09.159
It was my thing.
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.079
I wanted to join the corps since I was 12.
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.079
Anyway, joined the Marine Corps, got out, decided to move to Jersey.
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.360
I had family up there.
00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:18.199
So I go, but I had firearms.
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.840
I picked up some guns, you know, after I got out of the corps.
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.959
And I still remember the phone calls because I wanted them to be legal.
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.719
So I called just to transport them.
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.879
I called every state between Virginia and Jersey to find out how to transport my firearms.
00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:36.120
And every state was like, yeah, just put them in the car and drive the frig up there, you know, maybe even have them in the trunk or something.
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.480
But that would that was it.
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.719
I mean, you can travel with your firearm.
00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.279
Jersey was like, oh, guns separated from the ammo, both of them locked in separate boxes in a different compartment of the car.
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.879
And that was should have been my warning.
00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:48.279
Yeah.
00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:51.000
Because I laughed at the lady, because I called state police.
00:02:51.079 --> 00:02:56.040
That's who I called in each state, so I wouldn't violate the law because you know you're young and you're dumb.
00:02:56.519 --> 00:02:56.759
Yeah.
00:02:57.079 --> 00:02:57.319
Yeah.
00:02:57.399 --> 00:02:58.600
So uh I laughed.
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.040
And she was like, What's funny, sir?
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.399
I'm like, Y'all serious?
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:02.600
And they're like, Yeah.
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.240
I was like, okay, that should have been my warning.
00:03:05.399 --> 00:03:08.759
Jersey's very difficult to have firearms in, especially years ago.
00:03:08.839 --> 00:03:11.879
You need a something called a firearms ID card.
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.279
You have to have one to go to the range.
00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:18.680
So firearms ID card, whole background check, everything, fingerprints.
00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:23.719
Uh, you give them permission to uh medical uh mental history check.
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:24.120
Yep.
00:03:24.279 --> 00:03:26.759
They do all that, and then you can get a firearms ID card.
00:03:26.839 --> 00:03:31.639
Firearms ID card only means you can go in the store and handle a firearm, i.e., could I see that pistol?
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:32.920
Could I see that rifle?
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.920
And you can buy a long gun with it.
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.719
So you can buy a rifle or shotgun, but you can't buy a pistol.
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:49.079
You want to buy a pistol, you have to put in for a pistol purchase permit, which is all the exact same paperwork to get the uh firearms ID card, but now you're asking permission to buy one handgun.
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.759
Oh, this is this is a different language to two Florida dudes.
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:53.639
Exactly.
00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:55.719
So it was a different language to me from Virginia.
00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:58.199
So I pretty much didn't, I was like, well, F that.
00:03:58.279 --> 00:03:59.639
I don't want to have anything to do with this.
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:00.839
Boom.
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.040
Fast forward from that time to 2012, friend of mine became an NRA certified instructor.
00:04:06.279 --> 00:04:08.680
I went and bought my first 1022 in Jersey.
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.759
I got you know everything I needed and uh couldn't shoot for shit.
00:04:14.519 --> 00:04:18.120
I was in the Marine Corps, means absolutely nothing if you don't practice pulling triggers.
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:18.439
Yeah.
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:25.079
I took his class and ended up shooting a group about the size of my thumbnail at 25 yards, like after I came out of the class.
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.560
I wanted other people to feel like I felt, like you know, that accomplishment and empowerment.
00:04:29.719 --> 00:04:32.759
So I became a firearms instructor in uh 2012.
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:43.560
And then right about then, after I went through rifle, pistol, shotgun, got certified NRA, NRA uh certified safety officer, Sandy Hook happened.
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:54.279
And New Jersey started passing all kinds of anti-gun laws, and that, you know, I was like, well, if they knew what they were doing, you know, like if they understood what they're doing, it's not keeping people safer.
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.519
And I went and testified and sent it.
00:04:56.599 --> 00:04:57.959
I testified in the assembly.
00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:58.439
Let's go.
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.959
And what I learned is they want to stay ignorant, they don't give a shit.
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:09.319
Um, when we testified, there were 200 pro-gun people, a significant number were instructors.
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.800
And they were all, look, I'll give you my number.
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.839
If you really want to learn firearms, contact us.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.240
And I'm talking a bunch of them.
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.359
No one ever called.
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.319
They don't care.
00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:20.439
Pissed me off.
00:05:20.599 --> 00:05:24.519
And also noticed no one looked like me there that was pro-gun testifying.
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.319
And about then I've been an instructor for years.
00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:29.159
And I'm like, what where are the black people at?
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.279
Where are the Hispanic people at?
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:38.199
Why is the only voice in here speaking for the Second Amendment, white males for the most part, who don't know anything about well, they can dismiss the white men.
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.759
No, pro-gun, pro-gun white males that were testifying for our Second Amendment rights.
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.919
That's all right, we've done that a couple times, yeah.
00:05:47.159 --> 00:05:48.839
Um, I'm like, well, where are we?
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.639
Because you can dismiss the pro-gun white male as, oh, they're all racist and scared of brown people.
00:05:53.719 --> 00:05:53.879
Yeah.
00:05:54.039 --> 00:05:56.759
I'm like, well, where the brown people that's saying, y'all full of shit.
00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:57.240
Yeah.
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.359
They're not there.
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.599
So I talked to the groups that were there, the Second Amendment organization.
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:09.639
I said, You have any kind of program to bring blacks and minorities in to teach them, hey, bro, you have we have advocacy.
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.519
Same right story.
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:11.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:11.159 --> 00:06:11.800
This is your right.
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:12.919
And they were like, no.
00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:14.359
So I started it.
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.319
So in 2015.
00:06:15.719 --> 00:06:15.959
Let's go.
00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:18.039
We need some horns and rounds of applause for that.
00:06:18.359 --> 00:06:18.519
Yeah.
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:19.800
Yeah.
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.599
And I know you were in the clubs back in the day, so you know that horn.
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.839
Yeah, and real quick, if it's not a shirt already, practice pulling triggers.
00:06:27.159 --> 00:06:27.800
Needs to be a shirt.
00:06:28.039 --> 00:06:28.839
Go ahead, that was a bar.
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:29.319
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:30.439
Thank you, sir.
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:30.680
Yeah.
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.159
So uh I told them, I was like, I'll I'll start it up.
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.879
I talked to Anthony Kalandro, who's a board member now.
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:47.319
Yeah, but back, I think he was still on the uh committee for training, but uh, that's where I went to get my NRA certifications, gun for higher range in Woodland Park.
00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:54.519
I said, Anthony, could I use the classroom to host an event to get minorities in here to teach them advocacy and gun safety?
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.839
He was like, do it Thursday.
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.839
I'm like, yo, bro, slow down.
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.719
Slow down, give me a week.
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.240
So I did the first event.
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.279
It was cool.
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:11.399
It uh was three brothers and uh a Cuban kid showed up two hours late because three brothers in Cuban.
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.800
They showed up, like that's not a stereotype, it's the truth.
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.359
Yeah, that's not a stereotype, it's just what happened in my life.
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.599
Uh, and if you think that's not a big deal, try getting somebody to try something new, your first idea.
00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:27.719
Oh man, and no one shows up for two hours, bro.
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.000
I'm still sitting in the room.
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.560
And props to you for for riding it out.
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.359
Yeah, you were like, I know my people, they'll be here.
00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:37.479
They'll be here, they'll be here two hours later.
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.599
So they come in, it turned out well.
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.959
Uh I talked to Anthony, I was like, hey man, I'm sorry.
00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:46.439
I use your entire classroom for four people.
00:07:46.599 --> 00:07:47.959
They showed up late.
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:49.879
I understand if y'all want to do it again.
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:50.919
I love this part.
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.399
Anthony said, You're gonna do it again, and you're gonna do it again until you fill the room.
00:07:56.359 --> 00:07:57.240
We fill the room.
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.919
Yes, we fill the room first or maybe second year.
00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:01.560
Yeah.
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:03.159
Yeah.
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.120
Shout out to Anthony.
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.240
We got he's a he's a good dude.
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:06.439
I've got yeah.
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.639
So we fill that room up, and Anthony went, You gotta start selling tickets, dude.
00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:10.919
We roll the fire clue.
00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:15.479
He had 80 people in the 30-person room.
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.680
Yeah, so uh we started selling tickets only to limit the number of people coming.
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.639
So we limit it to 20 people, so everyone's comfortable.
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:29.879
We have volunteers from C and JFO, Coalition of New Jersey firearms owners, they bring their guns to my events.
00:08:30.039 --> 00:08:32.120
Uh, I bring in pizza, sodas.
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.560
Uh, we get uh raffle prizes from companies throughout the industry.
00:08:35.800 --> 00:08:36.759
We raffle them off.
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.120
That helps pay for the pizza.
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:45.080
And I also provide the ammo that my guys don't provide because if I provide nine and uh five five six.
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:45.399
Okay.
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.200
You come in with you know six five cream or young yon.
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:48.919
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.800
But my guys are awesome.
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.600
We host events every two weeks throughout the state.
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:59.800
I've hosted events in uh Nebraska with the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association.
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.280
Uh, we ran three events in one day up there.
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:04.120
We had uh Pennsylvania.
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.040
I was there for two years running events there.
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.840
So yeah, we're ready to just keep blowing up, man.
00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:09.800
It's really great.
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.400
Uh we get moms, dads, grandmothers, grandkids, all along the spectrums, co-workers.
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.440
It's a wonderful thing.
00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:27.000
It's growing, and we're educating a bunch of people, not only blacks, Hispanics, whites, uh, gays, LGBT, we got Muslims, we got Jews, we got everybody that comes through because it's a human right.
00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:29.240
And one person, one people can't speak.
00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:30.759
Inalienable right.
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.400
Yeah.
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.320
Yeah, even aliens can do it.
00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:38.840
So one person can't speak for everybody because someone's gonna try to shut them down.
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:39.480
That's it.
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:49.000
But if we have a black female talking about Second Amendment from her perspective, we have a uh someone in the LGBT community speaking it from their perspective.
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:55.160
You can't shut them all down or say they're all wrong or they're racist, yeah, or they suffer from an ism, racism, sexism.
00:09:55.400 --> 00:09:55.800
No, yeah.
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.080
This is just a woman living her lived life, and she had a stalker.
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:00.920
Now she has the ability to defend herself.
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.120
This is a 90-year-old black woman, one of the coolest things I had.
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.320
90-year-old black woman or Afrocentric hat Erica Badu thing.
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:09.560
Yeah.
00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:10.840
Well, my boy Nick is there.
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.520
Nick is Asian American, he had a Foo Man shoe, great for photos.
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:21.320
Yeah, so Nick is there with a Foo Man shoe, training a 90-year-old black woman dressed up like Erica Badu with an AK-47.
00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:22.200
Let's go.
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.280
I was like, yo, this is America as hell.
00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:26.440
It is 100%.
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:28.200
It's America as hell.
00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:29.560
But that was our event.
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.720
And it's like advocacy is every one of us.
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.160
Every firearms owner can be an advocate if they choose to be.
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.320
Open-minded, bring your friends from work.
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.680
I have a lot of white people approach me and they go, hey man, I'd love to do what you do, but I don't know any black people, you know, to bring them to the range.
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:56.520
I'm like, you don't have to just bring your friends, whoever they are, and eventually somebody has someone in their circle that's a minority, and they go, Hey, Tim's a good guy, man.
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.759
He taught my mom to shoot, my wife to shoot.
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:00.040
Uh you want to go check it out?
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:00.360
I don't know.
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:02.120
Tim's a white dude, Tim's cool dude.
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:02.759
You want to come?
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.520
Now all of a sudden you got somebody who's black that you introduced to firearms.
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.720
Not because you went out of your way looking for it, just you were doing the work and it happened organically.
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.320
Don't go looking for minority.
00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:14.440
Hey, black guy.
00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:20.120
Give away that's your pitch line.
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:20.520
Yeah.
00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:21.480
Hey, Darkie.
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.200
You know freedom?
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:24.600
Yeah.
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.960
Well, man, you said so much, Pat.
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.720
First first, we need some, yeah.
00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:30.440
Yeah, let's get some more.
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.480
I want to get uh yeah, yeah, you do deserve your flowers, definitely.
00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:36.280
Thank you, gentlemen.
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.920
And one of the things I said earlier was that you are authentic.
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.160
Yeah.
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.840
And what we love about that is that you are who you are, who you are all the time.
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.440
And we see him walking the walk.
00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:46.120
Yeah, we see this man everywhere.
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:46.600
Everywhere.
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.400
Like in the small, and I don't want to say a small gathering in a bad way, but the Freedom Fest, right?
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.879
Intimate.
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.080
We'll say intimate, right?
00:11:53.400 --> 00:11:53.639
Yeah.
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.639
My from Jersey came down.
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.920
This is in Central Florida.
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:57.720
We drove there.
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.120
Yep.
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.120
My man Tony was there speaking, empowering, knowledge, education.
00:12:02.280 --> 00:12:06.200
So we just want to say he's not just out here on a podcast saying these things.
00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:07.720
We see this man putting in work.
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:08.840
You know what my issue is?
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:18.600
Like, not with you, just as a whole, with the space, is that you're either gonna be a two-way absolutist, like it is for everybody, yeah, or you're gonna tie it to your party line.
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.000
Yeah.
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:24.520
And no, no, I think everybody we had that conversation an hour ago.
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.440
Yeah, deserves the right to bear arms.
00:12:26.520 --> 00:12:33.720
So I don't care if you're a Democrat, liberal, what's the if you wanna say, hey, I need a firearm because I want to protect myself.
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.080
Man, shout out our boy Chan.
00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:35.800
What did he say?
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.639
Owning a firearm is the first sign of responsibility because Yeah, the first step to personal responsibility.
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.000
100%.
00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:45.000
It's a hundred percent true.
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.879
So I caught some flack last year.
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:52.600
Uh there was an illegal immigrant, I don't even care where he was from, in Chicago.
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.960
They got busted with a firearm protecting his family.
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:56.920
He got it.
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:05.800
He wasn't, I mean, outside of being here illegally, just a hard-working dude, lived in an effed up neighborhood, got a pew pew to protect his loved ones.
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.200
Yep.
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.879
I'm like, nothing's wrong with that.
00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:08.680
I don't know.
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.800
A lot of people have a problem because it's an American right, it's this.
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.160
I'm like, hold up, bro.
00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:18.440
You can say what you want to about the Constitution, but understand I'm a Second Amendment absolutist.
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.120
It's a human right.
00:13:20.280 --> 00:13:20.520
Yes.
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.720
Dude didn't have to be.
00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:26.120
I'm like, he's got a gun to protect his family in Chicago, like you would have a gun to protect your family.
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.200
But you're telling me because he's here illegally, he should just be a victim.
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:30.680
Right.
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.879
Right, come on now.
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.000
All right, it makes sense.
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.720
Yeah, exactly.
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.920
And people wanted to argue with that, and I'm like, oh, you with your fat mama?
00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:37.400
Yeah.
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:39.560
I don't care.
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:40.520
It's true though.
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:45.560
It's true though, because yo, man, like like yo, I am a two-way absolutist.
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:55.080
Yeah, I believe I don't care what color you are, I don't care what your religion is, I don't care what what party you align yourself with, everybody deserves the right to bear arms.
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.680
Yeah, yeah, but what if they're a terrorist?
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.800
Well, I didn't say people can arm themselves at a murderers.
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.400
And by the way, well, how do you know?
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.840
Bitch, why you carry a gun?
00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:06.200
Yeah, if somebody's a terrorist and they pop off, pop them in the face.
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:16.759
Yeah, we literally just had uh Mike Sodini a couple a couple moments ago talking about like a lot of times when people snap, there is no sign.
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:23.160
It could be as simple as a man walking in on his wife cheating, and he fucking spazzes and kills both of them.
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:25.800
Yeah, it's that you don't know.
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.520
You don't get a firearm with the intention of snapping and losing your shit.
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:38.840
Sometimes you there are individuals who are just unstable, but for the most part, like it's usually for self-defense, home defense.
00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:47.720
My whole thing is how you're gonna adjust how you're gonna use someone committing a crime of passion to try to remove the rights of all people.
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.280
Yeah.
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.200
Because you come in that door, you catch your spouse cheating.
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:59.000
Yeah, you grab a baseball bat and whip their ass and both of them pass away, is in baseball bat legislation we're talking about next.
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.360
That's such a rarity.
00:15:00.520 --> 00:15:02.680
Let's stop acting like that's the freaking norm.
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.720
Yeah, it's not.
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.160
Man, say that again.
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.759
Hit hit some horns for that.
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.400
It is not.
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.680
We're talking about a super duper small percentage.
00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:16.280
Shout out to the dad here in Texas, walked in on his son being violated.
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.080
But remember, we saw this uh the news.
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:29.400
He walked in on like one of his farm workers raping his son, beat the man to death, and they they they let him walk.
00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:30.360
I agree with that.
00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:31.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.360
Like, yeah, I don't think there's anything.
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.759
But are you gonna say now he's not allowed to fight anybody if it's defending his son?
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.040
No, exactly.
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.800
The logic there is is always flawed for me because 100%.
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:48.680
Like, like you said, it's if I if I beat somebody with a bet, now it's an axe, anything, you stab somebody, yeah, whatever it is.
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.920
I mean, look at the UK, yeah, they're illegal, they stab the hell out of everybody.
00:15:53.160 --> 00:16:04.759
Yeah, the crazy thing about the UK is I love the fact that they say this thing is illegal because it's deadly, but then when there was deadly attacks, remember there was a London bridge attack?
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:11.000
Oh, yeah, and the guy used a Norwal whale horn to beat a dude in the head.
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:22.200
And I'm like, wait a minute, you took you understand what a fighter you gotta be to go, I'm gonna take that horn and whip him up for the nothing's gonna stop me from fighting this terrorist off.
00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:23.000
Give me a horn.
00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:29.960
Yeah, it and that's man, I don't remember what season I said this, but it's usually the it's a reflection of the man's heart.
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.320
Man, that's a great line.
00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:32.680
Yeah, it's a reflection of the man's head.
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:33.480
Anything can be a weapon.
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.120
I mean, I know that's a down right here, it ain't gonna shoot nobody.
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:45.639
No, not not nail person, but and if you're a person that has never gone there mentally, how are you gonna use your handgun or firearm to protect yourself?
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:50.120
And you've never gone there, you've never had the thought, yeah, what if this happens and this happens?
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:59.000
Like you've never gone there mentally, something happens, you might not go there because you don't have it in your heart to fight with that thing, you don't have faith in yourself and that thing.
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:05.400
Yeah, so you having a gun is not doing you any good if you don't have the uh mental capacity.
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.319
I'm gonna use this.
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.639
Yeah, I'm gonna use this, I have to.
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:09.879
Right.
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.359
These are the circumstances, I'm gonna have to use this.
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:14.119
That way you don't get caught up in the passion.
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.879
I was scared, so I pulled the gun and shot.
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:16.759
No, no, dude.
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.519
You shooting, you pulling a gun has to meet certain criteria.
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.839
Yeah, come on, because it's either gonna be what?
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.919
Fight, flight, or freeze.
00:17:25.159 --> 00:17:26.919
Yeah, and you gotta go, okay.
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.279
If this happens, this happens.
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.399
However the heck it does.
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.159
I don't need to watch any of those shows.
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.639
It's not about watching the shows for entertainment, it's about watching those shows and putting markers on.
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:41.480
If I see this, yeah, I'm already even subconsciously pre-programmed to go, yeah.
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.000
If a dude starts looking around a lot when I'm at a place and he's got a shysti on in the summertime, yeah, all right.
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:48.039
Look, be on point.
00:17:48.199 --> 00:17:50.519
He might not see anything, he might have allergies.
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.879
Yeah, yeah, but he might have other thoughts.
00:17:54.199 --> 00:17:54.839
Yeah, exactly.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.679
And you don't have to be paranoid.
00:17:56.919 --> 00:18:01.799
I think a friend of mine he says you don't have to be paranoid, just be aware of your surroundings, situational awareness.
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.839
We say that all the time.
00:18:02.919 --> 00:18:03.399
That's it.
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.240
That buys you time, all right.
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:06.119
I'm paying attention.
00:18:06.199 --> 00:18:07.240
Whoa, that's kind of weird.
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.279
What's happening over there?
00:18:08.439 --> 00:18:09.559
Yeah, okay.
00:18:09.879 --> 00:18:11.000
All right, man, that's good.
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:16.599
It's the microcosm.
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:18.519
Yeah, for those that are listening, yeah.
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.199
He's just trying to no, that's all right.
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.000
We do that too.
00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:22.519
Just reposition yourself.
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.679
Yeah, he can see a little more of the crowd, right?
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.879
Your back's not to everyone.
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.319
I am a two-way absolutist, but I don't carry every day.
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.960
That sucks.
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.799
Well, here's my here's my line of thinking.
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.839
At the end of the day, I still got Smith and Wesley.
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:37.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.159
I'll I'll go to town with Eve.
00:18:39.399 --> 00:18:40.439
You can write hands on, yeah.
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:47.480
I'm usually with him or my brother, and I know they're always carrying, but like, you know, it's it's not not that I'm scared to or anything like that.
00:18:47.559 --> 00:19:00.839
It's just, yeah, I just I just point in the conversation because I have a uh seven-year-old and a four-year-old, and I'm and I'm starting to plant those seeds.
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.679
Yeah, we'll be at a restaurant, you know.
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.879
I said, Hey, listen, something might never happen, right?
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.359
I said, but if it did, what would you do right now?
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.759
And I love to see them process everything.
00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:13.159
You know, why probably there's an exit right there.
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.240
Maybe I get and I'm like, that's good, baby girl.
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:15.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:20.119
Just so you're not, you have some kind, like you said, to tell you got some kind of plan.
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.519
Nope.
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.199
It's just you walk in, all right.
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.119
Those exits are there and there.
00:19:24.919 --> 00:19:25.559
We always do that.
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.839
We're always facing the door.
00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:27.879
Where's the exit?
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:29.240
Yeah, at least we know.
00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:32.119
My whole thing is I can't, I'm big as hell, right?
00:19:32.199 --> 00:19:33.000
I'm a big dude.
00:19:33.159 --> 00:19:37.240
I'll probably get got, but it won't, I won't get got because I lack the plan.
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:40.039
I'll get got because I'm just big as hell.
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.919
All right, y'all boys.
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.399
You got me.
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:45.879
You got me.
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.359
You got me.
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.000
It's like I don't carry it, I carry every day.
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:49.319
Why?
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.279
Because I ain't running, bro.
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:52.919
I ain't dying tired.
00:19:56.199 --> 00:19:57.079
I ain't dying.
00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.480
That's another that's the quote.
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.359
I think that's the quote.
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:02.199
I ain't dying tired.
00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:02.839
No, sir.
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.159
Nope.
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.799
So, all right, we're gonna switch, we're gonna switch paces here.
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.240
Yeah, we're 20 minutes in, man.
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:07.960
That's a great combo.
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.399
No, it doesn't happen.
00:20:09.639 --> 00:20:10.839
I feel like we just got started.
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:17.960
So, you know, we're all about exploring the outdoors, the second amendment, the comedy, culture, all that other fun stuff on our tagline.
00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:19.960
We love music.
00:20:20.199 --> 00:20:22.199
We own a recording studio.
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:28.439
We're gonna go with what is Big Tony's top five artists of all time.
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.159
Oh my goodness, great wow, of all times, huh?
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.079
Yeah, and it could be any genre.
00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:34.759
Oh, and any particular order.
00:20:34.919 --> 00:20:37.319
We don't have to go five to one or one to five.
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.039
Yeah, right.
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.879
No, I'm just thinking, because it's crazy.
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.279
Most people put their top five as people that they listened to while they were alive.
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:47.159
It's it's always it.
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.159
Oh, the best artist ever.
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.879
And it's like you you you were born in 1990, bro.
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.399
It's like best artists ever were in the middle of their careers when you were hatched, yeah.
00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.159
Like uh Prince.
00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:00.599
Hold on.
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.639
I'm surprised.
00:21:04.439 --> 00:21:07.639
Okay, now hold on, hold on, because you know how I feel about Prince.
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:08.839
Of course.
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.480
Who's better, Prince or Michael Jackson?
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:12.759
Whose catalog?
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.199
Oh, let me rephrase that.
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.480
Whose catalog are you choosing?
00:21:18.199 --> 00:21:19.319
Prince or MJ?
00:21:20.199 --> 00:21:22.119
Um no, I'm no, fuck that.
00:21:23.399 --> 00:21:25.319
Okay, so I go by this.
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:35.879
My first albums I ever purchased, going way back, because I I didn't grow up with money, but my dad had an old record album, uh record machine that he had like in storage.
00:21:36.199 --> 00:21:38.679
Well, when you turn like 15, you want to get music, right?
00:21:38.919 --> 00:21:52.359
So I went and dragged it out, and uh, first albums I bought Michael Jackson, uh Thriller album, Prince 1999, and Lionel Richie Dancing on the ceiling.
00:21:52.439 --> 00:21:53.799
Those are my first three albums.
00:21:54.199 --> 00:21:55.639
Hello, yeah.
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.079
I mean, that thriller album all came out at the same time.
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.359
Think about how crazy that all came out at the same time.
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:03.960
What a what an era of music.
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:05.720
Yeah, so we had great music.
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.199
So yeah, Prince, Alutha Vandros.
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.720
Come on now.
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.519
Because it's like getting laid music.
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.639
I was just about to say Tony's Tony's about love.
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:16.679
And if you really want to get laid.
00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:18.199
Throwing some print slow jams.
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:18.919
I don't know.
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.439
You having a baby.
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.079
Yeah.
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.679
I don't even care if you two dudes.
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.799
Somebody get burning.
00:22:28.679 --> 00:22:29.079
Damn.
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:31.720
So that's that.
00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:34.279
I like uh Metallica.
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:34.679
Okay.
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.919
Metallica mentioned today.
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:37.720
Shout out to Metallica.
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:38.679
Who's that?
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.000
Mike?
00:22:39.159 --> 00:22:40.199
No, that was uh Gabby.
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.519
Gabby.
00:22:40.919 --> 00:22:41.399
Gabby, yeah.
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.799
Oh shit.
00:22:41.879 --> 00:22:42.359
She was in here.
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:42.919
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:43.960
I love Gabby.
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.199
Yeah.
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:46.519
Um, so yeah, Metallica's huge.
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.240
Uh actually I was a member of the Snake Pit.
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:49.399
Yeah.
00:22:49.639 --> 00:22:50.279
Their fan club.
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:50.599
Yeah.
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:51.559
Yeah, that was that.
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.240
So you said five, right?
00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:54.039
Yeah.
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.439
I don't know, man, because everybody's so epic.
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.319
Like, oh, MJ.
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.439
What the hell am I doing?
00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:58.839
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:59.159 --> 00:23:03.399
Yeah, you got Michael Jackson, you got Prince, you got freaking Luther, uh, you got Metallica.
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.279
Metallica.
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.480
Yeah, I love Metallica.
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.519
Where'd you get into them?
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.480
Like, what album was it?
00:23:07.639 --> 00:23:08.039
Black album.
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:08.519
Okay.
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.399
Black album.
00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:11.399
My boy in Japan turned me on to him.
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:13.319
He was like, yo, you gotta check these dudes out.
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:13.639
Yeah.
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.559
I was like, yo, this is fire, bro.
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:15.960
Yeah.
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.879
And then we went from black album and uh I went backwards, right?
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.279
Okay.
00:23:20.439 --> 00:23:23.799
So I went and started listening to some of the old catalog, and I was like, that's fat.
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:28.119
And then my favorite metallic album is when they did it with the Symphony Orchestra.
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.079
Oh, that was crazy.
00:23:29.399 --> 00:23:30.119
That whole live.
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.879
I bought the DVD set and everything.
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.199
I'm grateful you haven't said you two.
00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.399
Yeah.
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:39.079
I can't stand you.
00:23:39.399 --> 00:23:42.519
I I don't like uh truthfully, you're not my vibe.
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:44.599
From Beatles on, I don't like any of the things.
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.960
Yeah, and I never got into the Beatles either.
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.199
Philly Collins, yeah.
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.679
Well, I got into some Zone for a little bit.
00:23:50.919 --> 00:23:51.079
Yeah.
00:23:51.399 --> 00:23:53.319
I'm a little more than one song for Phil.
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:56.039
Rock Stewart.
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.159
I'm gonna listen to the side.
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.879
Oh, you're doing Ron.
00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:58.439
No, no, no.
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.159
But my thing is, do I listen to every album?
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:01.559
Oh, yeah.
00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:03.559
Michael Jackson album I can throw up.
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.519
Yeah, no album.
00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:04.919
No doubt.
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.439
Everyone's thriller, yeah.
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.199
Every Metallica album.
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.439
Yeah.
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:15.319
Like I said, speaking of which, all those artists laid on their were laying on the ground during their uh their album covers.
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:22.519
I saw a post that said we need to get RB singers and pop stars back down on because the music ain't good.
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.799
But yo, so Tony, um, let's just shift gears again.
00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.919
What's your everyday carry?
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:28.679
Night Glock 19, Gen 2.
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.159
Let's go.
00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:30.359
Any attachments?
00:24:30.679 --> 00:24:33.319
Uh it's got really cool sites called Triclop Sites.
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:33.639
Cool.
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.960
Go check out their website, triclopsites.com.
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:40.439
Dude's an ophthalmologist, and he came up with a way to pretty much uh how do I say it?
00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:42.039
Make an analog red dot.
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.159
What?
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:44.119
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:49.079
It's using uh the high viz uh you know, little uh fiber optics.
00:24:49.159 --> 00:24:49.480
Yep.
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.359
Back one has one at two, one at twelve.
00:24:52.919 --> 00:24:56.279
Yeah, one at twelve, one at three, and one at nine.
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.319
That's the back.
00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:58.359
It's squared off.
00:24:58.679 --> 00:25:02.439
He's got one, boom, boom, and then the front site has a high viz, it's in the metal.
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.279
Pretty much you just punch out like you're using a red dot, centered up in a hole and shoot.
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.559
It's fast as hell.
00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:09.000
I've competed with it.
00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:10.919
Um when I did my review on it.
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:11.960
Oh, what?
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:13.799
Uh what would you which which gun did you say was that?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.000
Yeah, so I've I've competed with it.
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:18.759
I carried it for over a year.
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:25.240
Um, it's a cool site, and I 100% recommend it to anybody that wants to try it out, especially if you have stigmatism.
00:25:25.399 --> 00:25:26.199
Yeah, okay.
00:25:26.439 --> 00:25:28.919
Oh, yeah, like homie G got a stigmatism.

I might have awesome in the front side.
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.439
That's totally different.
00:25:36.679 --> 00:25:37.399
A touch of the tism.
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.879
Grip it, grip it, and rip it.
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:40.759
Grip it and rip it.

Literally older and bigger than me.
00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:38.599
Yeah, fair.
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:38.840

Doing big things.
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.039
Doing big things out of Jersey.
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.039
He is a two-way powerhouse.
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:44.679
Oh, yeah.
00:00:45.319 --> 00:00:48.280
We we met this brother, I want to say two years ago, right?
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.239
Yeah, at shows, or was it shot?
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:51.960
Yeah, goals.
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:53.320
It was goals.
00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:54.600
Yeah, or in the media room.
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:54.759
Yep.
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:55.960
Yep.
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.479
And uh that's where the food was.
00:00:58.839 --> 00:01:00.280
We've been following your journey.
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.000
Uh T.
00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:01.960
I'm gonna call you T.
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:02.519
That's right.
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:03.719
If you don't like it, get over it.
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:04.120
That's right.
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:05.319
Oh man, I'm hurt.
00:01:05.479 --> 00:01:06.359
Yeah, I'm hurt.
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:13.079
Uh I'm gonna so we known T for about that long, and I've been following you now, just watching your journey.
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.680
And obviously, we connected again down at Two-Way Freedom Fest.
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.719
And I got to hear more of your story in person.
00:01:20.039 --> 00:01:22.439
And that was like for me, that did it.
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.719
That was the nail in the coffin.
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.799
Because Rob and I, Breeze, my bad, Rob.
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:26.840
My bad, Breeze.
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:34.039
Nobody sounds Breezy and I like to make sure that when we interview folks, we're interviewing an authentic person.
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.280
You're as authentic as they come.
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:36.679
That's it.
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:44.280
So uh out of the great liberal state of Jersey, tell us how you're fighting the good fight.
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:45.079
Introduce yourself first.
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.439
I'm Tony Simon.
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.239
I run the diversity shoot, diversity shoot.com.
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:49.560
Yep.
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.319
2015 I came up with diversity shoot because I was pissed off.
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:54.840
Um why were you pissed?
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:55.799
Let's go back.
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.560
Jump in the way back machine.
00:01:58.039 --> 00:01:58.840
Got out the corps.
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.120
I'm from Virginia, born and raised.
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:01.079
Yeah, thank you.
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.599
All right, all right, thank you.
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.799
I don't know what to say.
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.159
That always confuses me.
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:05.399
Yeah.
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.039
You're welcome.
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.560
Because you volunteered to go in.
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:08.039
Yeah.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:08.280
Yeah.
00:02:08.519 --> 00:02:09.159
It was my thing.
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.079
I wanted to join the corps since I was 12.
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.079
Anyway, joined the Marine Corps, got out, decided to move to Jersey.
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.360
I had family up there.
00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:18.199
So I go, but I had firearms.
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.840
I picked up some guns, you know, after I got out of the corps.
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.959
And I still remember the phone calls because I wanted them to be legal.
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.719
So I called just to transport them.
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.879
I called every state between Virginia and Jersey to find out how to transport my firearms.
00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:36.120
And every state was like, yeah, just put them in the car and drive the frig up there, you know, maybe even have them in the trunk or something.
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.480
But that would that was it.
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.719
I mean, you can travel with your firearm.
00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.279
Jersey was like, oh, guns separated from the ammo, both of them locked in separate boxes in a different compartment of the car.
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.879
And that was should have been my warning.
00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:48.279
Yeah.
00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:51.000
Because I laughed at the lady, because I called state police.
00:02:51.079 --> 00:02:56.040
That's who I called in each state, so I wouldn't violate the law because you know you're young and you're dumb.
00:02:56.519 --> 00:02:56.759
Yeah.
00:02:57.079 --> 00:02:57.319
Yeah.
00:02:57.399 --> 00:02:58.600
So uh I laughed.
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.040
And she was like, What's funny, sir?
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.399
I'm like, Y'all serious?
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:02.600
And they're like, Yeah.
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.240
I was like, okay, that should have been my warning.
00:03:05.399 --> 00:03:08.759
Jersey's very difficult to have firearms in, especially years ago.
00:03:08.839 --> 00:03:11.879
You need a something called a firearms ID card.
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.279
You have to have one to go to the range.
00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:18.680
So firearms ID card, whole background check, everything, fingerprints.
00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:23.719
Uh, you give them permission to uh medical uh mental history check.
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:24.120
Yep.
00:03:24.279 --> 00:03:26.759
They do all that, and then you can get a firearms ID card.
00:03:26.839 --> 00:03:31.639
Firearms ID card only means you can go in the store and handle a firearm, i.e., could I see that pistol?
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:32.920
Could I see that rifle?
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.920
And you can buy a long gun with it.
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.719
So you can buy a rifle or shotgun, but you can't buy a pistol.
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:49.079
You want to buy a pistol, you have to put in for a pistol purchase permit, which is all the exact same paperwork to get the uh firearms ID card, but now you're asking permission to buy one handgun.
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.759
Oh, this is this is a different language to two Florida dudes.
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:53.639
Exactly.
00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:55.719
So it was a different language to me from Virginia.
00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:58.199
So I pretty much didn't, I was like, well, F that.
00:03:58.279 --> 00:03:59.639
I don't want to have anything to do with this.
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:00.839
Boom.
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.040
Fast forward from that time to 2012, friend of mine became an NRA certified instructor.
00:04:06.279 --> 00:04:08.680
I went and bought my first 1022 in Jersey.
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.759
I got you know everything I needed and uh couldn't shoot for shit.
00:04:14.519 --> 00:04:18.120
I was in the Marine Corps, means absolutely nothing if you don't practice pulling triggers.
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:18.439
Yeah.
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:25.079
I took his class and ended up shooting a group about the size of my thumbnail at 25 yards, like after I came out of the class.
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.560
I wanted other people to feel like I felt, like you know, that accomplishment and empowerment.
00:04:29.719 --> 00:04:32.759
So I became a firearms instructor in uh 2012.
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:43.560
And then right about then, after I went through rifle, pistol, shotgun, got certified NRA, NRA uh certified safety officer, Sandy Hook happened.
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:54.279
And New Jersey started passing all kinds of anti-gun laws, and that, you know, I was like, well, if they knew what they were doing, you know, like if they understood what they're doing, it's not keeping people safer.
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.519
And I went and testified and sent it.
00:04:56.599 --> 00:04:57.959
I testified in the assembly.
00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:58.439
Let's go.
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.959
And what I learned is they want to stay ignorant, they don't give a shit.
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:09.319
Um, when we testified, there were 200 pro-gun people, a significant number were instructors.
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.800
And they were all, look, I'll give you my number.
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.839
If you really want to learn firearms, contact us.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.240
And I'm talking a bunch of them.
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.359
No one ever called.
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.319
They don't care.
00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:20.439
Pissed me off.
00:05:20.599 --> 00:05:24.519
And also noticed no one looked like me there that was pro-gun testifying.
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.319
And about then I've been an instructor for years.
00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:29.159
And I'm like, what where are the black people at?
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.279
Where are the Hispanic people at?
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:38.199
Why is the only voice in here speaking for the Second Amendment, white males for the most part, who don't know anything about well, they can dismiss the white men.
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.759
No, pro-gun, pro-gun white males that were testifying for our Second Amendment rights.
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.919
That's all right, we've done that a couple times, yeah.
00:05:47.159 --> 00:05:48.839
Um, I'm like, well, where are we?
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.639
Because you can dismiss the pro-gun white male as, oh, they're all racist and scared of brown people.
00:05:53.719 --> 00:05:53.879
Yeah.
00:05:54.039 --> 00:05:56.759
I'm like, well, where the brown people that's saying, y'all full of shit.
00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:57.240
Yeah.
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:58.359
They're not there.
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.599
So I talked to the groups that were there, the Second Amendment organization.
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:09.639
I said, You have any kind of program to bring blacks and minorities in to teach them, hey, bro, you have we have advocacy.
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.519
Same right story.
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:11.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:11.159 --> 00:06:11.800
This is your right.
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:12.919
And they were like, no.
00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:14.359
So I started it.
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.319
So in 2015.
00:06:15.719 --> 00:06:15.959
Let's go.
00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:18.039
We need some horns and rounds of applause for that.
00:06:18.359 --> 00:06:18.519
Yeah.
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:19.800
Yeah.
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.599
And I know you were in the clubs back in the day, so you know that horn.
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.839
Yeah, and real quick, if it's not a shirt already, practice pulling triggers.
00:06:27.159 --> 00:06:27.800
Needs to be a shirt.
00:06:28.039 --> 00:06:28.839
Go ahead, that was a bar.
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:29.319
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:30.439
Thank you, sir.
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:30.680
Yeah.
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.159
So uh I told them, I was like, I'll I'll start it up.
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.879
I talked to Anthony Kalandro, who's a board member now.
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:47.319
Yeah, but back, I think he was still on the uh committee for training, but uh, that's where I went to get my NRA certifications, gun for higher range in Woodland Park.
00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:54.519
I said, Anthony, could I use the classroom to host an event to get minorities in here to teach them advocacy and gun safety?
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.839
He was like, do it Thursday.
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.839
I'm like, yo, bro, slow down.
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.719
Slow down, give me a week.
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.240
So I did the first event.
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.279
It was cool.
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:11.399
It uh was three brothers and uh a Cuban kid showed up two hours late because three brothers in Cuban.
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.800
They showed up, like that's not a stereotype, it's the truth.
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.359
Yeah, that's not a stereotype, it's just what happened in my life.
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.599
Uh, and if you think that's not a big deal, try getting somebody to try something new, your first idea.
00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:27.719
Oh man, and no one shows up for two hours, bro.
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.000
I'm still sitting in the room.
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.560
And props to you for for riding it out.
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.359
Yeah, you were like, I know my people, they'll be here.
00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:37.479
They'll be here, they'll be here two hours later.
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.599
So they come in, it turned out well.
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.959
Uh I talked to Anthony, I was like, hey man, I'm sorry.
00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:46.439
I use your entire classroom for four people.
00:07:46.599 --> 00:07:47.959
They showed up late.
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:49.879
I understand if y'all want to do it again.
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:50.919
I love this part.
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.399
Anthony said, You're gonna do it again, and you're gonna do it again until you fill the room.
00:07:56.359 --> 00:07:57.240
We fill the room.
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.919
Yes, we fill the room first or maybe second year.
00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:01.560
Yeah.
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:03.159
Yeah.
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.120
Shout out to Anthony.
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.240
We got he's a he's a good dude.
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:06.439
I've got yeah.
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.639
So we fill that room up, and Anthony went, You gotta start selling tickets, dude.
00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:10.919
We roll the fire clue.
00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:15.479
He had 80 people in the 30-person room.
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.680
Yeah, so uh we started selling tickets only to limit the number of people coming.
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.639
So we limit it to 20 people, so everyone's comfortable.
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:29.879
We have volunteers from C and JFO, Coalition of New Jersey firearms owners, they bring their guns to my events.
00:08:30.039 --> 00:08:32.120
Uh, I bring in pizza, sodas.
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.560
Uh, we get uh raffle prizes from companies throughout the industry.
00:08:35.800 --> 00:08:36.759
We raffle them off.
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.120
That helps pay for the pizza.
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:45.080
And I also provide the ammo that my guys don't provide because if I provide nine and uh five five six.
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:45.399
Okay.
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.200
You come in with you know six five cream or young yon.
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:48.919
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.800
But my guys are awesome.
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.600
We host events every two weeks throughout the state.
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:59.800
I've hosted events in uh Nebraska with the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association.
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.280
Uh, we ran three events in one day up there.
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:04.120
We had uh Pennsylvania.
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.040
I was there for two years running events there.
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.840
So yeah, we're ready to just keep blowing up, man.
00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:09.800
It's really great.
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.400
Uh we get moms, dads, grandmothers, grandkids, all along the spectrums, co-workers.
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.440
It's a wonderful thing.
00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:27.000
It's growing, and we're educating a bunch of people, not only blacks, Hispanics, whites, uh, gays, LGBT, we got Muslims, we got Jews, we got everybody that comes through because it's a human right.
00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:29.240
And one person, one people can't speak.
00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:30.759
Inalienable right.
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.400
Yeah.
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.320
Yeah, even aliens can do it.
00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:38.840
So one person can't speak for everybody because someone's gonna try to shut them down.
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:39.480
That's it.
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:49.000
But if we have a black female talking about Second Amendment from her perspective, we have a uh someone in the LGBT community speaking it from their perspective.
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:55.160
You can't shut them all down or say they're all wrong or they're racist, yeah, or they suffer from an ism, racism, sexism.
00:09:55.400 --> 00:09:55.800
No, yeah.
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.080
This is just a woman living her lived life, and she had a stalker.
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:00.920
Now she has the ability to defend herself.
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.120
This is a 90-year-old black woman, one of the coolest things I had.
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.320
90-year-old black woman or Afrocentric hat Erica Badu thing.
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:09.560
Yeah.
00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:10.840
Well, my boy Nick is there.
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.520
Nick is Asian American, he had a Foo Man shoe, great for photos.
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:21.320
Yeah, so Nick is there with a Foo Man shoe, training a 90-year-old black woman dressed up like Erica Badu with an AK-47.
00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:22.200
Let's go.
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.280
I was like, yo, this is America as hell.
00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:26.440
It is 100%.
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:28.200
It's America as hell.
00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:29.560
But that was our event.
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.720
And it's like advocacy is every one of us.
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.160
Every firearms owner can be an advocate if they choose to be.
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.320
Open-minded, bring your friends from work.
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.680
I have a lot of white people approach me and they go, hey man, I'd love to do what you do, but I don't know any black people, you know, to bring them to the range.
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:56.520
I'm like, you don't have to just bring your friends, whoever they are, and eventually somebody has someone in their circle that's a minority, and they go, Hey, Tim's a good guy, man.
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.759
He taught my mom to shoot, my wife to shoot.
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:00.040
Uh you want to go check it out?
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:00.360
I don't know.
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:02.120
Tim's a white dude, Tim's cool dude.
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:02.759
You want to come?
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.520
Now all of a sudden you got somebody who's black that you introduced to firearms.
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.720
Not because you went out of your way looking for it, just you were doing the work and it happened organically.
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.320
Don't go looking for minority.
00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:14.440
Hey, black guy.
00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:20.120
Give away that's your pitch line.
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:20.520
Yeah.
00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:21.480
Hey, Darkie.
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.200
You know freedom?
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:24.600
Yeah.
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.960
Well, man, you said so much, Pat.
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.720
First first, we need some, yeah.
00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:30.440
Yeah, let's get some more.
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.480
I want to get uh yeah, yeah, you do deserve your flowers, definitely.
00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:36.280
Thank you, gentlemen.
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.920
And one of the things I said earlier was that you are authentic.
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.160
Yeah.
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.840
And what we love about that is that you are who you are, who you are all the time.
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.440
And we see him walking the walk.
00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:46.120
Yeah, we see this man everywhere.
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:46.600
Everywhere.
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.400
Like in the small, and I don't want to say a small gathering in a bad way, but the Freedom Fest, right?
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.879
Intimate.
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.080
We'll say intimate, right?
00:11:53.400 --> 00:11:53.639
Yeah.
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.639
My from Jersey came down.
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.920
This is in Central Florida.
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:57.720
We drove there.
00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.120
Yep.
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.120
My man Tony was there speaking, empowering, knowledge, education.
00:12:02.280 --> 00:12:06.200
So we just want to say he's not just out here on a podcast saying these things.
00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:07.720
We see this man putting in work.
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:08.840
You know what my issue is?
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:18.600
Like, not with you, just as a whole, with the space, is that you're either gonna be a two-way absolutist, like it is for everybody, yeah, or you're gonna tie it to your party line.
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.000
Yeah.
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:24.520
And no, no, I think everybody we had that conversation an hour ago.
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.440
Yeah, deserves the right to bear arms.
00:12:26.520 --> 00:12:33.720
So I don't care if you're a Democrat, liberal, what's the if you wanna say, hey, I need a firearm because I want to protect myself.
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.080
Man, shout out our boy Chan.
00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:35.800
What did he say?
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.639
Owning a firearm is the first sign of responsibility because Yeah, the first step to personal responsibility.
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.000
100%.
00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:45.000
It's a hundred percent true.
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.879
So I caught some flack last year.
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:52.600
Uh there was an illegal immigrant, I don't even care where he was from, in Chicago.
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.960
They got busted with a firearm protecting his family.
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:56.920
He got it.
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:05.800
He wasn't, I mean, outside of being here illegally, just a hard-working dude, lived in an effed up neighborhood, got a pew pew to protect his loved ones.
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.200
Yep.
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.879
I'm like, nothing's wrong with that.
00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:08.680
I don't know.
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.800
A lot of people have a problem because it's an American right, it's this.
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.160
I'm like, hold up, bro.
00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:18.440
You can say what you want to about the Constitution, but understand I'm a Second Amendment absolutist.
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.120
It's a human right.
00:13:20.280 --> 00:13:20.520
Yes.
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.720
Dude didn't have to be.
00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:26.120
I'm like, he's got a gun to protect his family in Chicago, like you would have a gun to protect your family.
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.200
But you're telling me because he's here illegally, he should just be a victim.
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:30.680
Right.
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.879
Right, come on now.
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.000
All right, it makes sense.
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.720
Yeah, exactly.
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.920
And people wanted to argue with that, and I'm like, oh, you with your fat mama?
00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:37.400
Yeah.
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:39.560
I don't care.
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:40.520
It's true though.
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:45.560
It's true though, because yo, man, like like yo, I am a two-way absolutist.
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:55.080
Yeah, I believe I don't care what color you are, I don't care what your religion is, I don't care what what party you align yourself with, everybody deserves the right to bear arms.
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.680
Yeah, yeah, but what if they're a terrorist?
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.800
Well, I didn't say people can arm themselves at a murderers.
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.400
And by the way, well, how do you know?
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.840
Bitch, why you carry a gun?
00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:06.200
Yeah, if somebody's a terrorist and they pop off, pop them in the face.
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:16.759
Yeah, we literally just had uh Mike Sodini a couple a couple moments ago talking about like a lot of times when people snap, there is no sign.
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:23.160
It could be as simple as a man walking in on his wife cheating, and he fucking spazzes and kills both of them.
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:25.800
Yeah, it's that you don't know.
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:30.520
You don't get a firearm with the intention of snapping and losing your shit.
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:38.840
Sometimes you there are individuals who are just unstable, but for the most part, like it's usually for self-defense, home defense.
00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:47.720
My whole thing is how you're gonna adjust how you're gonna use someone committing a crime of passion to try to remove the rights of all people.
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.280
Yeah.
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.200
Because you come in that door, you catch your spouse cheating.
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:59.000
Yeah, you grab a baseball bat and whip their ass and both of them pass away, is in baseball bat legislation we're talking about next.
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.360
That's such a rarity.
00:15:00.520 --> 00:15:02.680
Let's stop acting like that's the freaking norm.
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.720
Yeah, it's not.
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.160
Man, say that again.
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.759
Hit hit some horns for that.
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.400
It is not.
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.680
We're talking about a super duper small percentage.
00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:16.280
Shout out to the dad here in Texas, walked in on his son being violated.
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.080
But remember, we saw this uh the news.
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:29.400
He walked in on like one of his farm workers raping his son, beat the man to death, and they they they let him walk.
00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:30.360
I agree with that.
00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:31.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.360
Like, yeah, I don't think there's anything.
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.759
But are you gonna say now he's not allowed to fight anybody if it's defending his son?
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.040
No, exactly.
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.800
The logic there is is always flawed for me because 100%.
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:48.680
Like, like you said, it's if I if I beat somebody with a bet, now it's an axe, anything, you stab somebody, yeah, whatever it is.
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.920
I mean, look at the UK, yeah, they're illegal, they stab the hell out of everybody.
00:15:53.160 --> 00:16:04.759
Yeah, the crazy thing about the UK is I love the fact that they say this thing is illegal because it's deadly, but then when there was deadly attacks, remember there was a London bridge attack?
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:11.000
Oh, yeah, and the guy used a Norwal whale horn to beat a dude in the head.
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:22.200
And I'm like, wait a minute, you took you understand what a fighter you gotta be to go, I'm gonna take that horn and whip him up for the nothing's gonna stop me from fighting this terrorist off.
00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:23.000
Give me a horn.
00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:29.960
Yeah, it and that's man, I don't remember what season I said this, but it's usually the it's a reflection of the man's heart.
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.320
Man, that's a great line.
00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:32.680
Yeah, it's a reflection of the man's head.
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:33.480
Anything can be a weapon.
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.120
I mean, I know that's a down right here, it ain't gonna shoot nobody.
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:45.639
No, not not nail person, but and if you're a person that has never gone there mentally, how are you gonna use your handgun or firearm to protect yourself?
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:50.120
And you've never gone there, you've never had the thought, yeah, what if this happens and this happens?
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:59.000
Like you've never gone there mentally, something happens, you might not go there because you don't have it in your heart to fight with that thing, you don't have faith in yourself and that thing.
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:05.400
Yeah, so you having a gun is not doing you any good if you don't have the uh mental capacity.
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.319
I'm gonna use this.
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.639
Yeah, I'm gonna use this, I have to.
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:09.879
Right.
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.359
These are the circumstances, I'm gonna have to use this.
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:14.119
That way you don't get caught up in the passion.
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.879
I was scared, so I pulled the gun and shot.
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:16.759
No, no, dude.
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.519
You shooting, you pulling a gun has to meet certain criteria.
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.839
Yeah, come on, because it's either gonna be what?
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.919
Fight, flight, or freeze.
00:17:25.159 --> 00:17:26.919
Yeah, and you gotta go, okay.
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.279
If this happens, this happens.
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.399
However the heck it does.
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.159
I don't need to watch any of those shows.
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.639
It's not about watching the shows for entertainment, it's about watching those shows and putting markers on.
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:41.480
If I see this, yeah, I'm already even subconsciously pre-programmed to go, yeah.
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.000
If a dude starts looking around a lot when I'm at a place and he's got a shysti on in the summertime, yeah, all right.
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:48.039
Look, be on point.
00:17:48.199 --> 00:17:50.519
He might not see anything, he might have allergies.
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.879
Yeah, yeah, but he might have other thoughts.
00:17:54.199 --> 00:17:54.839
Yeah, exactly.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.679
And you don't have to be paranoid.
00:17:56.919 --> 00:18:01.799
I think a friend of mine he says you don't have to be paranoid, just be aware of your surroundings, situational awareness.
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.839
We say that all the time.
00:18:02.919 --> 00:18:03.399
That's it.
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.240
That buys you time, all right.
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:06.119
I'm paying attention.
00:18:06.199 --> 00:18:07.240
Whoa, that's kind of weird.
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.279
What's happening over there?
00:18:08.439 --> 00:18:09.559
Yeah, okay.
00:18:09.879 --> 00:18:11.000
All right, man, that's good.
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:16.599
It's the microcosm.
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:18.519
Yeah, for those that are listening, yeah.
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.199
He's just trying to no, that's all right.
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.000
We do that too.
00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:22.519
Just reposition yourself.
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.679
Yeah, he can see a little more of the crowd, right?
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.879
Your back's not to everyone.
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.319
I am a two-way absolutist, but I don't carry every day.
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.960
That sucks.
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.799
Well, here's my here's my line of thinking.
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.839
At the end of the day, I still got Smith and Wesley.
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:37.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.159
I'll I'll go to town with Eve.
00:18:39.399 --> 00:18:40.439
You can write hands on, yeah.
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:47.480
I'm usually with him or my brother, and I know they're always carrying, but like, you know, it's it's not not that I'm scared to or anything like that.
00:18:47.559 --> 00:19:00.839
It's just, yeah, I just I just point in the conversation because I have a uh seven-year-old and a four-year-old, and I'm and I'm starting to plant those seeds.
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.679
Yeah, we'll be at a restaurant, you know.
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.879
I said, Hey, listen, something might never happen, right?
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.359
I said, but if it did, what would you do right now?
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.759
And I love to see them process everything.
00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:13.159
You know, why probably there's an exit right there.
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.240
Maybe I get and I'm like, that's good, baby girl.
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:15.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:20.119
Just so you're not, you have some kind, like you said, to tell you got some kind of plan.
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.519
Nope.
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.199
It's just you walk in, all right.
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:24.119
Those exits are there and there.
00:19:24.919 --> 00:19:25.559
We always do that.
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.839
We're always facing the door.
00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:27.879
Where's the exit?
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:29.240
Yeah, at least we know.
00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:32.119
My whole thing is I can't, I'm big as hell, right?
00:19:32.199 --> 00:19:33.000
I'm a big dude.
00:19:33.159 --> 00:19:37.240
I'll probably get got, but it won't, I won't get got because I lack the plan.
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:40.039
I'll get got because I'm just big as hell.
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:44.919
All right, y'all boys.
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.399
You got me.
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:45.879
You got me.
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:46.359
You got me.
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.000
It's like I don't carry it, I carry every day.
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:49.319
Why?
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.279
Because I ain't running, bro.
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:52.919
I ain't dying tired.
00:19:56.199 --> 00:19:57.079
I ain't dying.
00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.480
That's another that's the quote.
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.359
I think that's the quote.
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:02.199
I ain't dying tired.
00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:02.839
No, sir.
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.159
Nope.
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.799
So, all right, we're gonna switch, we're gonna switch paces here.
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.240
Yeah, we're 20 minutes in, man.
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:07.960
That's a great combo.
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.399
No, it doesn't happen.
00:20:09.639 --> 00:20:10.839
I feel like we just got started.
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:17.960
So, you know, we're all about exploring the outdoors, the second amendment, the comedy, culture, all that other fun stuff on our tagline.
00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:19.960
We love music.
00:20:20.199 --> 00:20:22.199
We own a recording studio.
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:28.439
We're gonna go with what is Big Tony's top five artists of all time.
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.159
Oh my goodness, great wow, of all times, huh?
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.079
Yeah, and it could be any genre.
00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:34.759
Oh, and any particular order.
00:20:34.919 --> 00:20:37.319
We don't have to go five to one or one to five.
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.039
Yeah, right.
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.879
No, I'm just thinking, because it's crazy.
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.279
Most people put their top five as people that they listened to while they were alive.
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:47.159
It's it's always it.
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.159
Oh, the best artist ever.
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.879
And it's like you you you were born in 1990, bro.
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.399
It's like best artists ever were in the middle of their careers when you were hatched, yeah.
00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.159
Like uh Prince.
00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:00.599
Hold on.
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.639
I'm surprised.
00:21:04.439 --> 00:21:07.639
Okay, now hold on, hold on, because you know how I feel about Prince.
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:08.839
Of course.
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.480
Who's better, Prince or Michael Jackson?
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:12.759
Whose catalog?
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.199
Oh, let me rephrase that.
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.480
Whose catalog are you choosing?
00:21:18.199 --> 00:21:19.319
Prince or MJ?
00:21:20.199 --> 00:21:22.119
Um no, I'm no, fuck that.
00:21:23.399 --> 00:21:25.319
Okay, so I go by this.
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:35.879
My first albums I ever purchased, going way back, because I I didn't grow up with money, but my dad had an old record album, uh record machine that he had like in storage.
00:21:36.199 --> 00:21:38.679
Well, when you turn like 15, you want to get music, right?
00:21:38.919 --> 00:21:52.359
So I went and dragged it out, and uh, first albums I bought Michael Jackson, uh Thriller album, Prince 1999, and Lionel Richie Dancing on the ceiling.
00:21:52.439 --> 00:21:53.799
Those are my first three albums.
00:21:54.199 --> 00:21:55.639
Hello, yeah.
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.079
I mean, that thriller album all came out at the same time.
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.359
Think about how crazy that all came out at the same time.
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:03.960
What a what an era of music.
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:05.720
Yeah, so we had great music.
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.199
So yeah, Prince, Alutha Vandros.
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.720
Come on now.
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.519
Because it's like getting laid music.
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.639
I was just about to say Tony's Tony's about love.
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:16.679
And if you really want to get laid.
00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:18.199
Throwing some print slow jams.
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:18.919
I don't know.
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.439
You having a baby.
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.079
Yeah.
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.679
I don't even care if you two dudes.
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.799
Somebody get burning.
00:22:28.679 --> 00:22:29.079
Damn.
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:31.720
So that's that.
00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:34.279
I like uh Metallica.
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:34.679
Okay.
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.919
Metallica mentioned today.
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:37.720
Shout out to Metallica.
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:38.679
Who's that?
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.000
Mike?
00:22:39.159 --> 00:22:40.199
No, that was uh Gabby.
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.519
Gabby.
00:22:40.919 --> 00:22:41.399
Gabby, yeah.
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.799
Oh shit.
00:22:41.879 --> 00:22:42.359
She was in here.
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:42.919
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:43.960
I love Gabby.
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.199
Yeah.
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:46.519
Um, so yeah, Metallica's huge.
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.240
Uh actually I was a member of the Snake Pit.
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:49.399
Yeah.
00:22:49.639 --> 00:22:50.279
Their fan club.
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:50.599
Yeah.
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:51.559
Yeah, that was that.
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.240
So you said five, right?
00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:54.039
Yeah.
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.439
I don't know, man, because everybody's so epic.
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.319
Like, oh, MJ.
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.439
What the hell am I doing?
00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:58.839
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:59.159 --> 00:23:03.399
Yeah, you got Michael Jackson, you got Prince, you got freaking Luther, uh, you got Metallica.
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.279
Metallica.
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.480
Yeah, I love Metallica.
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.519
Where'd you get into them?
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.480
Like, what album was it?
00:23:07.639 --> 00:23:08.039
Black album.
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:08.519
Okay.
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.399
Black album.
00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:11.399
My boy in Japan turned me on to him.
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:13.319
He was like, yo, you gotta check these dudes out.
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:13.639
Yeah.
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.559
I was like, yo, this is fire, bro.
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:15.960
Yeah.
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.879
And then we went from black album and uh I went backwards, right?
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.279
Okay.
00:23:20.439 --> 00:23:23.799
So I went and started listening to some of the old catalog, and I was like, that's fat.
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:28.119
And then my favorite metallic album is when they did it with the Symphony Orchestra.
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.079
Oh, that was crazy.
00:23:29.399 --> 00:23:30.119
That whole live.
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.879
I bought the DVD set and everything.
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.199
I'm grateful you haven't said you two.
00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.399
Yeah.
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:39.079
I can't stand you.
00:23:39.399 --> 00:23:42.519
I I don't like uh truthfully, you're not my vibe.
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:44.599
From Beatles on, I don't like any of the things.
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.960
Yeah, and I never got into the Beatles either.
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.199
Philly Collins, yeah.
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.679
Well, I got into some Zone for a little bit.
00:23:50.919 --> 00:23:51.079
Yeah.
00:23:51.399 --> 00:23:53.319
I'm a little more than one song for Phil.
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:56.039
Rock Stewart.
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:57.159
I'm gonna listen to the side.
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.879
Oh, you're doing Ron.
00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:58.439
No, no, no.
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.159
But my thing is, do I listen to every album?
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:01.559
Oh, yeah.
00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:03.559
Michael Jackson album I can throw up.
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.519
Yeah, no album.
00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:04.919
No doubt.
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.439
Everyone's thriller, yeah.
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.199
Every Metallica album.
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.439
Yeah.
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:15.319
Like I said, speaking of which, all those artists laid on their were laying on the ground during their uh their album covers.
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:22.519
I saw a post that said we need to get RB singers and pop stars back down on because the music ain't good.
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.799
But yo, so Tony, um, let's just shift gears again.
00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.919
What's your everyday carry?
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:28.679
Night Glock 19, Gen 2.
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.159
Let's go.
00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:30.359
Any attachments?
00:24:30.679 --> 00:24:33.319
Uh it's got really cool sites called Triclop Sites.
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:33.639
Cool.
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.960
Go check out their website, triclopsites.com.
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:40.439
Dude's an ophthalmologist, and he came up with a way to pretty much uh how do I say it?
00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:42.039
Make an analog red dot.
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.159
What?
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:44.119
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:49.079
It's using uh the high viz uh you know, little uh fiber optics.
00:24:49.159 --> 00:24:49.480
Yep.
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.359
Back one has one at two, one at twelve.
00:24:52.919 --> 00:24:56.279
Yeah, one at twelve, one at three, and one at nine.
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.319
That's the back.
00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:58.359
It's squared off.
00:24:58.679 --> 00:25:02.439
He's got one, boom, boom, and then the front site has a high viz, it's in the metal.
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.279
Pretty much you just punch out like you're using a red dot, centered up in a hole and shoot.
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.559
It's fast as hell.
00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:09.000
I've competed with it.
00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:10.919
Um when I did my review on it.
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:11.960
Oh, what?
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:13.799
Uh what would you which which gun did you say was that?
00:25:13.879 --> 00:25:14.599
Oh, Block 19.
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.319
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.000
Yeah, so I've I've competed with it.
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:18.759
I carried it for over a year.
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:25.240
Um, it's a cool site, and I 100% recommend it to anybody that wants to try it out, especially if you have stigmatism.
00:25:25.399 --> 00:25:26.199
Yeah, okay.
00:25:26.439 --> 00:25:28.919
Oh, yeah, like homie G got a stigmatism.
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.960
Yeah, just check it out.
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.319
Don't overthink it.
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:35.000
I might have awesome in the front side.
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.439
That's totally different.
00:25:36.679 --> 00:25:37.399
A touch of the tism.
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.879
Grip it, grip it, and rip it.
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:40.759
Grip it and rip it.
00:25:40.919 --> 00:25:41.079
