Speaker 1 (00:01):
The best Christmas present Boots has ever seen this life
is probably a big old gun, is that true?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
And you did give a gun this sea.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I bought my six year old granddaughter her first little gun.
And because my son in law is very responsible with firearms,
he's trained his whole life, and I always had a thing.
When I was six years old, my father took me
down in a ravine and we took his my great
grandpa's thirty two somehow automatic little pistol, and he let
me shoot it. He showed me how to load it.
(00:30):
He showed me how the safety worked, he showed me
how to properly look for backdrop boom. So we got Linda,
which is an expert on this, and she actually talked
showed me the proper gun to get my little grandbaby, Linda.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Does this happen a lot?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
There were people get their kids and grandkids at that
age of six, seven, eight years old their very first gun.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's exciting. He'll teach the young about how to respect them,
how to use them. And the one that I specifically
helped Boots with it's a single shot, so it's one
piece of ammo at a time. There's no more than
that available for it, and it's a great way for
little ones to learn.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And it's only a little twenty two, which now twenty
two used him the wrong way. Could be bad, but
I I and because of your knowledge, Linda, thank you for that,
because I was like, is this okay? I mean, will
this would be a good little gun. It's a little gun.
But she won't take it out and then she won't
have that What do you want to say, Linda, how
do we say that word? She won't be like, hey,
I want to go play with a gun because dad's
not home. She'll be like, I know what that is?
(01:30):
Who cares?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, exactly, Sheila. She learns to respect it, she understands it.
She knows that she can only use it with her,
an adult that she's allowed to use it with. And
I think it's a fantastic start. So what she excited?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh she was, Well, I think she kind of looked
at it. Funny she didn't. Yeah, she knew because and
then we saw that. Oh yeah, we explained to her
and her dad. But it's funny because after she opened it,
he explained to her how this is not a toy.
This is something only you and I will do together
and it will kind of wait at me, Grandpa once
(02:06):
comes cool too, But we had a family moment of safety.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I love it. Hey, London, let me ask you something
because we're talking about guns and talking about toys, but realistically,
there are a lot of toy guns that my gosh,
it's hard for police officers to tell the difference between
what's real and what isn't when one's being pointed at
you right there in that second, that instant, it.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Is definitely difficult to tell. And that's kind of one
of the things that we are having a youth fire
safety glass later this month. But it's a special you know,
a lot of people got new ones for Christmas, so
get them in there and get their kids learning about it.
But yeah, it is. I show them different types of guns,
and I try to tell them, hey, is this a
real one? Is this a toy one? Is this air pistol?
(02:54):
But they all look the same.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know what I really do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I can almost guarantee you a kid it's properly educated
on firearms, isn't going to fit point a fake gun
at a police officer and get killed because he or
she knows Wait, this is stupid experience.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
You have the knowledge.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The education part's important.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I mean, I hate to if any kid had lost
her life is horrible, but I would I would love
to almost talk to the parents. Your son got shot
for pointing a fake gun at a police officer. Have
you ever had a gun safety talk with that young man?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Woman? Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, well, okay, it's usually the parents.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Linda has Vance kicking off the new year with any
type of new classes, new opportunities for people that they
should take advantage of right out of the gate.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We have a lady's only introduction to handguns coming up
later this month as well, so you'll see my little
face in there. So definitely that we always have our
contil carry classes. I think we still have some openings
for a class later this month. The and then this

Sometimes, well guys, guys don't sit there and have the
skills you ladies. But I looked up and I that lady.
He's really attractive young lady. And she's smiling at me, like,
oh she likes fattle ball guys in there was a.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
This was Boots's text that he sent me yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I was at the Kroger pharmacy here in Sunbury and
I actually was my tech checking me out.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Lol.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Actually I should have said, I meant say Ashley was
doing my checkout on my not checking me out as

No, that was yeah, I've done that. I've done that too,
but uh it was it was cool because she.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Was It was like, oh but but again, back to Sunbury.
Everybody's so pleasant and nice. It's it's like I went
to another world and you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Know, it'm a little slow paced. Don't you think I
need that? I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
The Ace hardware now you play thirty five dollars for
two before, but that's okay. I don't drive clear to
Columbus and get shot at.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So that hardware is more expensive.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh god, Ace Hardware kills you. What the the Orange
store in a blue big blue store, they're just they
don't buy in bulk, and but you get weighted on. Now,
I've got a good buddy named Body. It works at
the home depot, Body on Hamilton Road. Best popcorn maker around.
But I go and if I can find him, it's
pretty cool. But uh, you just get that personalized. Like
(06:18):
I got to buy hinges the one one closet's all
sprung from one that her dog springing it. So I'm
gonna go get them new hinges. Yeah, the big Terman Shepherd.
I know, he ran it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Do you know what, I would rather take over a
house that had dogs than a house that had cats.
You buy a house that had cats, there is a
smell and the stench that just does not go away,
it seems. Hey, I want to give a shout out
to doctor Cohen. You know, Randy's coaching this team, Crystal Ray, which.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I'm actually wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Did they win a game yet?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
They have not won a game.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, I thought they won one either.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
No, not yet. They've been in the battle, which is a.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Lot better than getting what's the closest.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Last year they were getting beat by sixty points.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The closest game so far ten points.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
They've lost by like fifteen or so.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I'll take that.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I mean it's it's a step of the right direction.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But he wanted to do something for the holidays, you know,
the whole Christmas break. So Doctor Cohen pitched in and
threw them a pizza party and we had Bunco gifts
and everybody because we taught him how to play Bunco.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Know what that is?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh my gosh, it's a dice game. It's so much fun.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
This is what my friends and I would get together
once a month to play Bunko Boots. You have to
sub with us one dime if we ever get this
going again.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It is a hoot. It is so fun. Some girls
call it drunko instead of bunch.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Play left fright center. He played down there and.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
We didn't do drunko with these high school boys.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was that.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
That's a totally different. It was a whole idea. No no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Get to hang out this old cougar TVA get hammered.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, no, completely not.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And doctor Cohen was the one who sponsored it, so
a huge shout out.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
He does so much for this community.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Do you know how lucky we are that he's one
of our sponsors of Cohen Orthopeda And then one of
our other sponsors, Robert Cooperman, just went to him for surgery.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So it's all when you're part of the family, you're
part of the Famly.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
My guy Todd that came in here, he's at my
shop right now working on my sixty seven and his
knees are great and he skips through the shop now,
So tell you from doctor Crellin couldn't walk last year,
now I cant him skip.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Another family member is coming up in our second hour,
and he is going to give us an outlook, a
financial outlook for twenty twenty six. Do you think it's
going to be a good year for America, for the
market or for you in general. We're going to find
out with Joe Schmitz of Peak Retirement Planning, and he
brought in Miss Emma.
