Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Ruger Sfaar is one of the Trimmer's three eight
modern sporting rifles available more power but lighter in the
field and range. See how light it is at Ruger
dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, welcome back to Gun Talk. Tom Gresham here. Yeah,
we've had them on the show before. I wanted to
get him back in here because his status has changed.
Blake Meguez, of course, was now on the or in
the Louisiana House for like eight plus years, and now
you not a US A Louisiana senator, and Blake, you're
trying to become that US senator. You announced you're running
(00:34):
against Bill Casty for the US Senate. Okay, why in
the world would somebody who has some sense like you
do want to go to DC.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Well, good morning, Tom.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I'll tell you the reason why I'm running for the
US Senate is because Louisiana deserves more than just another
election season Republican. If you look at my background, I'm
a seventh generation Louisiana and my family migrated here in
Louisiana back in the seventeen hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So the love for Louisiana flows through my veins.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And the reason that I'm running is because President Trump
needs an ally for his America First agendas who has
supported full time, who won't stand in his way, and
unlike our current US Senator who voted to convict him
on impeachment. So I'm proud to be the macachoice in
the race and went elected to the US Senate. The
folks back in Louisiana, they can count on me to
(01:20):
never forget where I came from. Are the people who
sent me to the Senate to fight for them, And
I'm going to be the voice of the people in DC.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
All right. Let me remind people they may know or
may not, but you are like a national champion level shooter.
You can handle pretty much any kind of gun. And
I love, absolutely love your ad. Your commercial you put together.
It may be the best one I've ever seen, with
you shooting pistols and rifles and blowing up tanneright and
(01:50):
doing all sorts of stuff. I mean, who else can
do that?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Well, Tom, I appreciate it. I'm a former national world
champion shooter. My main focus is handguns. And I'll tell
you we made a our message very clear. We had
a strong launch on where we stand in the race.
We're the magat choice we're very conservative, and we're running
on a platform to put Louisana first. And I wasn't
afraid to put an AR fifteen in my video. I
wasn't afraid to say how strong I am and how
(02:14):
I won't compromise an individual's Second Amendment rights. And I
think if you look at my background on what I've authored,
I've been the author of a lot of key legislation
in Louisiana, including Constitutional Carry, which strengthens citizens' Second Amendment
rights here in Louisiana. And if elected to the US Senate,
I plan on being that voice for the citizens across
the nation because we shall not infringe on our constitutional rights,
(02:38):
and those are our rights to defend ourselves and our
loved ones, and then the most important thing, to protect
our constitutional republic.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You know, and Mike, you and I know how strong
you are on the Second Amendment, and you've done so
many good things in the louis Jannal legislature. But there's
something I think maybe a lot of folks the voters
in Louisiana are not aware of. Yeah, and they know
Bill Cassidy's name, who is the current US sender, they
may not know that he not only voted for the
Biden gun control bill, the bipartisan Safer Community Act, he
(03:08):
was actually one of the task force members who put
that thing together. He supported and pushed and actually crafted
the Biden gun control Bill as well as voting to
impeach President Trump. Louisianams need to know that you couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Have more of a contrast in this race.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, Senator Cassidy was a key member to pass the
bypartisan Safer Community Act. And what that did was it
expanded background checks, and it focused on infringing on the
rights of young adults and the young Americans who have
Second Amendment rights just like anyone else. It also opened
the door for universal background checks, which could lead to
gun registries, which could lead to gun confiscation programs. Put
(03:49):
like seven hundred and fifty million dollars into anti gun
red flag laws, trying to centivize states to adopt these
laws which trample all of these Secondment of rights. They
have no due process and well a little to no
evidence someone a court can order law enforcement to confiscate
your firearms. Gun Owners of America called Senator Cassidy a sellout.
(04:09):
The National Association of Gun Rights called this bill, the
gun control wish list. This is something a conservative constitutionalists
should never support.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And here's the contrasts. You've got the guy who authored.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Gun control versus the guy myself who was the author
of one of the strongest constitutional carry legislations in the
entire country, giving individuals the rights to defend themselves and
their loved ones without needing government's permission. Our Second Amendment
rights shall not be infringe. And Senator Cassidy doesn't agree
with that. He supported laws that would infringe on the
(04:45):
Second Amendment. And look at all of his counterparts that
joined him. Look at some of these members like Senator
Burr Collins, Romney, Tommy Martowski. These are all the same
senators who voted to impeach President Trump DC phonies election
year Republicans.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We are done with those.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It is time to have US senators who support President
Trump and his America First agenda and will put the
people of America first.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
All right, we're talking with Blake Beguez. He is running
for US Senate right now. To see this hell by
Bill Cassidy. Blake, when you talk to people in Louisiana
and your tour of the state, you're going all around
are you fighting that people are actually aware of the
Cassidy history, of his legacy, of his record.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I can tell you that they want to change all
sixty four parish of across his state. They are hungry
to change out their US senator, Senator.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They're hungry for new leadership.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
They want a new generational leader who will fight for
their children and fight to preserve their American dream where
their children and their grandchildren can prosper. They haven't forgotten
that Senator Cassidy, he committed the cardinal sin of the
Republican Party, which is voting to impeach President Trump. If
Senator Cassie would have got his way, President Trump would
(06:03):
not be president right now, he would not be doing
things to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And they hadn't forgotten.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
And they're just so sick and tired of these DC phonies,
these election year Republicans, and it's they want to change,
and they if they want someone who will support the
president full time.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'm their guy. I'm the magachoice in this race.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, So obviously you come into this the incumbent always
has an advantage. I mean that's just the way politics work.
What's it take for you to come from where you
are and try to knock off the incumbent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Well, Tom, we came in this thing guns of blizing.
I don't know if you've got a chance to look
at our first financial report.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
In only thirteen days, we raised nearly a million dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We outraise every other opponent in the race on individual contributions.
Our supporters are real louise Inans. They're not DC special
interests or swamp money. That type of enthusiasm is what's
going to take to win this race. It will be
an expensive race. It's a statewide race. And for all
you listeners out there, encourage them to go to my
website blakemigaz dot com. Check out my launch video. If
(07:08):
you want to get rid of another DC, phone me.
If you want someone who supports your Second Amendment rights
for decades to come. I asked that you contribute to
my campaign. Support my effort.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Tom.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
We've got over five thousand individual contributions and we've only
been in this race for two months.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
The MOMENTIMU is on our side.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
We just got to keep fighting, keep pushing forward, and
if we get elected to the US Senate, you will
have someone that will respect your Second Amendment rights and
understands that they shall not be infringed.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, let me just tell people they need to go
to the website Blakemigaz dot com just to look at
the launch video because it is outrageously great. I mean,
there's what you did was I mean, you're shooting different guns.
Obviously you know how to hand let me be the
national champion shooter. But it is a hoot, and you
guys did a great job. And as you say, you
didn't shy away from thinking, well, some people are not
(07:57):
going to like the fact that I'm shooting guns. Just
own it. You're a championshooter and you support the Second Amendment.
So I guess the final part is the way you win. Well,
there are a lot of ways to win elections, but
you can't do it without money because money is what
makes everything work. So I don't care if you're in
Louisiana or if you're in another part of the world.
If you take a look at this, you think, boy,
(08:18):
this would be a good guy to have in the US Senate.
You might want to throw the box the cost of
a box of AMMO or maybe even the cost of
a new gun in there. I just would invite people
to go take a look at it and see what
they think. Blake, congratulations on this. I wish you lots
of luck. You've been a friend of gun Talk through
the years.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I can tell you, if I'm elected to the US Senate,
the folks back in Louisiana can count on me to
never forget who I am, where I came from, or
the people in Louisiana and sent me to the Senate
to fight for them. I'll fight for this country and
I always put America first. And thank you so much
for having me on the show. And God bless our
great country.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There you go. Appreciate that. All right, don't go far,
We'll be right back with more gun Talk.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, we talk about that too.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
On your crosshairs, I like a thin crosshair.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Aja, you're really dating yourself by calling things crosshairs. You're
redical whatever.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Have some fun and stay informed with the gun Talk podcast.

Speaker 8 (11:01):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I'm Kim Roady, a six time Olympian in shooting, and
you're listening to gun Top. For thirty years, Tom has
been championing our love for the shooting, sports, hunting and
firearms safety. Thank you Tom for inspiring so many of
us and for keeping the conversation alive.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
All Right, we're back with you. Eight to six six
Talk Gun gets you in here, Tom, Talk Gun, same
number In Tennessee. Interesting thing, a three judge panel in
Tennessee judges declared that Tennessee's intent to go Armed statute
is unconstitutional. Interestingly, in Tennessee, they have or had a
(11:45):
provision in the law that says it's illegal to carry
a gun with the intent to go arm, which is
kind of Weird's like, Okay, if you carry a gun,
you obviously are going armed, but the law says a
person commits and an offense who carries with the intent
to go arm a firearm or a club. There are
provisions in the law where you can have what's called
(12:06):
an affirmative defense and you can say, well, I had
a concealed carry permit or I was carried home. But
you can still get stopped by a police officer. You
could actually get charged because you had a gun with
the intent to go armed, and the course said, nah,
that's unconstitutional. Did do that? And furthermore, this law that
says you can't carry in parks, that's unconstitutional too. This
(12:30):
is part of this greater trend. I started the show
with today that we are winning and winning and winning,
and yes, I get it when people said, well, yeah,
but we didn't get that. Yeah, but we didn't get
this other thing. It is tiring sometimes to listen to
the children yammering with such things. You want to say, hey,
(12:54):
leave this to the adults in the room. We've been
doing this for fifty years. We've been doing this at
a time when it looked like we wouldn't make any
headway and we were just going to try to slow
the demise of the Second Amendment. And for us to
be winning and winning and winning in courts, in legislatures,
(13:15):
in the Supreme Court. It's amazing. And it comes slowly,
and you don't always get what you want, okay, but
you get part of it and you come back and
you go for more. I mean, it really is as
simple as that. You try to get what you can
when you can. Hey, let's go talk with Bruce out
of Louisiana. He's got a range of forrest a Bruce,
(13:36):
what you've been shooting?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Man? I just got a banished nine K from Silencer Central. Yeah,
that little dude is sweet. Now, it's not my first silencer,
it's my first pistol silencer because I didn't want to
mess with boosters and you know, a lot of them
look clunky and big and impractical. And this little dude
(14:01):
is four inches and two and a half ounces and
no booster.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Would you say two and a half ounces?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Two point eight it?
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Three D printed titanium incannel something I don't know the
I don't know the alloy that they used.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
So if I'm.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Saying that wrong, please forget me. Vanished and silence of Central.
But the dude, that little thing don't weigh nothing. It
is rated for nine obviously three hundred blackout and seven
six two thirty nine in subs. So if you wanted
to put it on a little ranch rifle sub sonic uh.
(14:41):
I've been using it on a seven six two thirty
nine ranch rifle with subs, my nine millimeter block and
a five to seven. It makes a five to seven
hearing safe. I shot about one hundred and fifty rounds
out of my little five to seven card being the
other day no ear pro.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Wow, you sound like you were having so much fun
with this thing.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Well, I've got silencers. I hunt with them. I've got
a handful of form ones, and I've got a sacre
ASR and thirty cow And they put this deal up
for a free tax stamp, and my buddy called me.
If I'm going too long, tell me. But my buddy
called me and said, how do I get a silencer?
And I said, well, they I don't know. Let me
show you what I know about a couple places that
(15:27):
you can do it real quick. And when I was
on silencer Central, it said free stamp if you get
any one of our you know, approved eligible silencers, And
I was like, well, shucks, I'm gonna look for me too,
and I come across that nine K and me and
him ordered on the same day and never left the
(15:49):
house other than obviously work and you know, life, but
never left the house. Chose from four or five hundred silencers.
Three and a half weeks later, knock Knox FedEx. Can
I get a signature? Here's your cute little package.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Wow? And that's size. For those that don't let me,
let me explain. When you said they're gonna pay the tax,
what they're doing is they're discounting the silencer by two
hundred dollars to cover the cost of the tax. However
you want to figure it out, because at the end
of this year, we're not paying any tax at all,
this two hundred dollars tax on suppressors and silencers, and
so they're thinking, well, we're going to go ahead and
(16:25):
cover that for probably for the rest of the year
at least if you jump on it right now. Silenceforcentral
dot Com. All right, So this is the is that
the K model?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
It's the vanished nine K. Yeah, and it's their brand,
it's their house brand, and it's in a nine K.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, that's terrific. I mean, you're having a ball. Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I shot it with some one forty sevens. Yes, I
had to go buy a new barrel from my P eighty,
I said glock earlier. It's a P eighty Okay. I
had to go buy a threaded barrel for that. When
I was at the gun show yesterday. Picked up a
barrel for one hundred bucks, took it home, shot three
or four mags through it. I had one hiccup, but
I do believe it was poor grip on my part,
(17:13):
to be honest, because out of the other out of
the other four mags, just one for seven's and it
sounds like a typewriter.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That is terrific. Well, that's a great range of por it.
I sure appreciate you calling in with that. We thank you, sir.
Let me grab Joseph online three out of Henderson, Nevada. Hey, Joseph,
what do you got here? Hey?
Speaker 11 (17:37):
I got a question for you, because I always appreciate
your showing your opinion. I noticed that I'm a clock fan,
but I have other CZ's and everything. You know, I'm
a good gun clucker, but I noticed that clock is
standing down many of the calibers. And my question to
you is do you think it would be a good
ideas such a manufacturer design their own model of a
(18:05):
three fifty seven magnum. Now I have a Coonan the
second generation, because the ones back in the seventies went well,
they went bankrupt and then they came back to have
a Couonan, which fis it wonderfully and then we had
the Desert Eagle. But what's your opinion about a semi
automatic three fifty seven magnet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I think it's a cool concept without much of a use. Okay,
let's let's examine that. I mean, why we got a
rimmed case that always makes it more difficult in setiatto,
and we're going to get it because there's more power.
But why don't I mean, my question would be, why
don't you just go to a ten milimeter?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Well, because three fifty seven magnum ammunition is a little
bit better to ease did a purchase. It's long standing.
It was established to stop cars and everything like that.
And I've got to be honest with you, tom My Couonan,
I've got a thousand rounds through it. I think I
(19:11):
had two failure defeats, and I think maybe that's because of.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
My limp rists or whatever.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
But but the only problem with it is the coonan
only has a seven round magazine.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
I think that clock, I think that clock could enhance that.
I think that because many of us have lever action
three fifty seven is we have revolvals three fifty seven,
So it's around that a lot of households appreciate.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
Well, that's the reason I asked the question.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I love the three fifty seven magum. I've got a
number of revolvers in three fifty seven magum. I personally
don't see the appeal of a semiauto in three fifty
seven when, as I say, going back to it, we
have the ten milimeter which gives you at least that
much power, and you can get them in double stack,
and you can get them a block vital twenty. If
(20:05):
youel like glocks, you can get smaller, larger versions. There
are just all sorts of tens out there right now,
and AMMO is really easy to get. You can get
kind of lightweight practice AMMO. You can get full house
defensive AMMO or even hunting AMMO, even bear protection AMMO.
I don't know, I get it that it's cool and
(20:28):
Conan made a really nice pistol, a Semiato in three
fifty seven magnum. But when I look at the marketplace
right now and right now, I will tell you gun
sales are down across the board. Everybody is seeing reduction
in sales right now. I don't see anybody going to
Great Links to bring out a new gun and a
(20:48):
new caliber, or to re engineer something that would require
a lot of R and D work. So I appreciate
the call, sir, It's just you asked me what might
take is if I'm looking for more power than nine
in a semiauto, I mean, forty five is kind of
you know. I love forty fives, but that's not really
more power, not much. I'm going to a ten, and
(21:11):
I well, I did go to a ten. Our first
three gun Talk guns that we put out were ten
milimeters pistols. We have two nineteen elevens and one was
the sick P two twenty. In a gun Talk configuration,
we like the tens and they really work, and in
a good pistol, it's not a lot more recoil and
you get a lot more power. And I just had it.
(21:35):
That's kind of where I am today, and I think
that's where the marketplace is. And so the original question is, well,
why would they not make it because it's not going
to sell. That's why it's like, Okay, they're actually cutting
down on some of their models, some of their chamberings
because they don't sell. People say, well, why did so
and so drop such and such Only one reason they
(21:55):
didn't sell or they couldn't make money at it. If
it's selling and they're making money at they're not dropping
it out of the line. It's you know, the only
reason that people go to work every day is to
make a living, and the only reason that the company
is in businesses to make a profit. Pretty simple stuff.
Eight six six Talk Gun. I'm Tom Gresham and this
is gun talk. Yes, it's that time of year. Everybody's
(22:23):
getting ready for hunting Steason. I was packing up some
stuff today going on a scouting trip this week. I'm
going to go up to North Idaho, take a look
where we're going to be hunting moose later on in
the fall. We've got to look at the area. You
got to find out where the roads are, the trails
where we might be going. So and of course I'm figuring, oh, well,
what guns do you take on a scouting trips several
(22:45):
because that's what we do. Hey, Jeff Golden out to Meridian, Idaho.
Hey Jeff, you're going to be going on a hell
cut this year. What's the deal?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Yeah, I've been. I quit hunting years ago, and I
never was that much of a big game hunter. But
I'm seventy two years old, and every year I would
apply for a controlled out come for antler to sell. Okay,
and I never got picked. And this year i't, on
my life, win or lose. This is my last year
(23:14):
lo and behold, I drew. My question is the two
biggest rifles I have are two seventy and three O eight,
And I just wondered which rifle would be the best
one to you?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, I mean I like the question, but let's expand
a little more. Because you said the two biggest rifles
you have. What other rifles do you have? Center fire rifles?
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Yeah, they're the two, the two biggest rounds that I shoot.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, I understand that, and I gather that you're I
guess the two seventy. Well, I'm going to say this.
Are you gonna be hunting on your own? You're going
to be with people and your man.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Going to be with someone else.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
My there's really no difference ballistically between the two three
or eight and two seventy. I would pick if it
were me, I'd pick the lightest one because lightweight is
going to be easier to carry, easier to hunt with you.
There's not going to get us tired carrying it.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
That's well, that's important because my three weight is it's
described as a tactical bolt action rifle with a heavy
barrel and everything, and it's significantly heavier than my Remington
models seven sixty and two seventy.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, you don't need to. Now. Do you have any
other center fire rifles? What calibers are those?
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yeah, I've had my Model ninety four thirty thirty, but
I'm not that good with open shikes anymore. And I
have a Marlin lever Action forty four magnum.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, no, neither one of those. We're still gonna work
working on. The two seventy is still my choice so far.
What else you got.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
And the ammunition I have for both for the hunt?
I was going to use factory or I have some
Winchester Ballistic silver tip thirty grain for the two seventy
one hundred and sixty eight grains for the three a week.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Use that in. The two seventy one hundred and thirty
grain ballistic silver tip is a great bullet. It will
work just fine. You will talk to people who will
tell you the two seventies not enough for elk. They
don't know what they're talking about. They also will tell you,
don't use the ballistic tip. That'll blow up. That's a
terrible bullet. No, they don't know what they're talking about.
(25:43):
It's a really good bullet with a really stiff and
heavy base. It'll hold together, it'll expand and do what
it wants you want it to do. I think you've
arrived at the conclusion. Get your you know, get ready
to go. The only thing I would add is to
go out and do not just a little bit of
siding in, but actually do some shooting and practice and
shoot like get off the bench, shoot from standing, shoot
(26:05):
from a sitting position, shoot from prone, because that's how
you're going to be out there. The main thing is
being able to hit well. And whatever the distance is,
where you say I don't feel comfortable hitting a nine
inch paper plate, then that's your maximum distance. You shouldn't
be shooting any further than that.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Okay, I'm glad I called you because I really didn't
want to carry that three away and take the pipe
off of us and everything.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, I'm gone to lighter and lighter guns heavy. Well,
good luck. I hope it works out. I hope you
get that out. I do appreciate the call. Yeah, I
see people carrying these tactical rifles and heavy barrels and
massive scopes and big bipods. And that's fine if you're
(26:54):
going to walk one hundred yards and set up somewhere.
But if you're going up and down the mountains, unless
you're like twenty five and work out all the time,
that's the load you don't need. They say, well it's
more accurate. Okay, great, it'll shoot half inch groups and
my five pound rifle will shoot three quarter inch groups.
How small is the elk that you're hunting? Are you
(27:15):
going to miss it with a rifle that shoots a
three quarters of an inch or a one edge group?
I don't think so. The main thing is to have
a gun that you can carry that doesn't fatigue you,
in a caliber that is appropriate for whether it's deer, elk,
antlope whatever it is, and then the main thing is
to get out and shoot it and shoot it and
(27:37):
shoot it a lot. Shoot it standing up, shoot it
sitting down, shoot it on the ground, shoot it leaning
against a tree, whatever, with the rest with shooting sticks.
I do like bipods, but I don't carry a bipod.
I don't take a bipod hunting with me, and really
(27:58):
probably only one reason is is why carry the weight?
And where I hunt generally speak, I'm not going to
get a chance to use a bipod anyway. I'm going
to be sitting or leaning over a pack, or laying
down or leaning against a tree, and I'm going to
find a rest of some sort and the bikepid just
doesn't really give me anything. So that's kind of where
(28:19):
I've ended up. I keep taking stuff off and going
to smaller scopes, in lighter scopes, because I mean the
idea of having a scope that weighs a pound and
a half or two pounds and as the twenty power magnification,
are you kidding me? I mean, I'm perfectly fine shooting
a scope it's a one to six power and shooting
out this four hundred yards easy, easy, with a six
(28:42):
power scope. You don't need a twenty power scope to
shoot a deer art elk. Now, if you're one of
those that wants to shoot them out there at a
country mile knock yourself out, that's not my deal. I
guess I would say I'm more of a hundred than
a shooter when it comes to shooting gritters. Just my thing. Hey,
when it come back, I want to talk a little
(29:03):
bit about this idea of when you walk out of
your house and you want to have the stuff on
you that is good protection that you need for everyday. Carrie,
what do you need? And I got an idea that's
probably not what you're thinking. We'll be right back. Do
(29:29):
you want to have a special rifle that can do
almost everything and that your friends don't have? Hi, I'm
Tom Gresham, host of Gun Talk, and here's the deal.
Every few years we put out a special gun, a
very limited run that GT thirty marks thirty years on
the air, and this one is really different. It's a
(29:51):
general purpose rifle you can legally have in all states
and it's crazy versatile. Based on the Ruger American Jen platform,
we created a scout rifle in five, five, six or
three oh eight sixteen inch threaded barrel only thirty seven
inches long overall extra long rail for mounting a standard
(30:13):
scope at extended irolaf scope like Colonel Jeff Cooper preferred
or a red dot and it comes with great iron
sights so it's ready for the range right out of
the box. It looks great too, with a cryptech camel
finish topped with a smoke bronze metal treatment. The five
five to six version takes standard armgs and the three
(30:36):
oh eight uses standard AIICS pattern or pmgs. This is
a short run, so don't miss out. Check out guntalkscout
dot com. That's gun talkscout dot com. It's accurate, attractive,
and you can take it with you to all states
Scout scope, standard scope or no scope at all. Set
(30:58):
it up the way you want. When you pull it
from the case, your buddies will say what the heck
is that and they're gonna want one. Seriously. This is
a great rifle do everything, rifle hunting, target shooting, defensive
use gun talkscout dot com. Don't put it off. These
(31:19):
are going quickly. Get your GT thirty gun talkscout dot com. Okay,
I'm gonna do a bait and switch here. I want
(31:40):
to change my subject. I want to talk about what
you carry and what's in your head and all that,
but I want to say that until we get our
next guest on, because he's an expert at that, we'll
talk about that. I had an experience this morning I
want to tell you about. And this is not really
a gun related thing. This is just know this is
(32:00):
gun talk, and I know we talk about guns, but
sometimes I want to talk about something else, and I
guess since I have the microphone, I get to do that.
So I'm driving into town this morning, and for me,
that's like twenty five minutes, and the first three miles
our dirt road, and I jump in my old jeep
because I hadn't driven it in a while more to
(32:21):
get in that and just I got the windows down,
I got some music playing. I'm driving along and I'm thinking, man,
this is really fine. This is a lovely day. It's
a beautiful morning, kind of cool here this morning, and
I'm tuning a long in this kind of rady old
jeep and just think about how much I'm enjoying it,
(32:43):
and think about one of the things I hear. That's
one of the saddest phrases that I hear people say.
I've heard it for most of my life. This goes
to mindset and what you're doing with your life idea.
The phrase is people say, I've always wanted to fill
(33:04):
in the blank, whatever it is. I've always wanted to
learn to fly. I've always wanted to have a really
nice gun. I've always wanted to hunt whatever that is,
elk antelope, whatever I've always wanted to huh. I've always
(33:30):
taken the attitude of I'm just going to do it.
I raised my kids with a phrase, and it was this.
It's kind of a family motto. Always say yes and
then find a way to get there. If somebody's asked
(33:50):
you if you can do something, say yes. Even though
you don't know how, you can go learn You're smart,
you can do this. Say yes. Is there a way
to get there? Yeah, Okay. It may take a few
years to make that happen. It may take some dollars,
it may take changing your budget. I've always wanted to
learn to fly. I said that, and then I went
(34:12):
and did it forty one years ago, and I've been
flying for forty one years. Because I said, yes, I've
always wanted to have a really nice rifle. Okay, sell
some of the ones you have now, I mean, are
we going to keep acquiring pedestrian regular old guns that
(34:33):
were perfectly fine? They're great. But the question I would
ask is do they give you joy when you pick
it up? Do you go wow? I really like that.
You know what I'm talking about. If you've bought a
nice rifle or shotgun, or a pistol or staccato or
I mean whatever happens to be, you go, man, I
(34:54):
just love owning that. Every time I pick it up,
I really enjoy it. I've always wanted to have a
classic Jeep. Cool, they'll sell you one. I understand we
all have constraints. Nobody has an unlimited budget, and yet
(35:15):
at the same time, I think we sometimes cheat ourselves
by not giving ourselves permission. You do, in fact have
to give yourself permission to do these things, the things
that will enhance your life, that will make you happy,
that will, yes, in fact, give you joy. I've always
(35:38):
wanted to go to Alaska. Heard that a lot or
we moved to Alaska. We lived up there for five years.
I was the editor of Alaska magazine. Can I tell
you how many people have said to me, boy, you
know I've always wanted to go to Alaska. I said,
you know what, you can go tomorrow, you can go
next week, and go next year. It's easy. Now, can
(36:04):
you afford it? I don't know that. I don't know
the answer to that question. Could you afford it if
you skipped spending on something else that you regularly spend
money on? Probably? So, Yeah, priorities kind of one of
those deals of you know, okay, what's important to me?
We tend to worry about the wrong things. You've heard
(36:25):
me say that many times? Am I spending money on
things that don't give me joy? Do I have thirty
or forty guns in the safe that I don't really shoot?
What if just throw this idea out? What have you
sold half of them and bought three to replace them?
(36:50):
I mean the process of ordering a totally custom made
nineteen eleven because I've always wanted to have a custom
nineteen eleven. Yes, it's expensive, and I'm going to sell
two or three guns or four guns to whatever it
takes to finance it, because I know this thing will
(37:13):
bring me joy. It will bring me joy. When I
pick it up, when I rack the slide, when I
look at it, and when I go shoot it, and
I will shoot it, trust me. So that's been kind
of my I guess as I get older and look
at you know, where I've been in life, I've either
been fortunate enough or willing to say yes to a
(37:34):
lot of things. Maybe take a chance or go, how
would you like to live in Alaska? Yes? You know,
are they downside? Yes, of course, but let's go give
it a try. Had a friend one time, Thank you, Bill,
I appreciate this. I was looking at buying actually Everson
(37:55):
airplane at the time. I said, well, I don't know it.
You know it costs. And he says, let me ask
you a question. I said yeah. He said, if you
had to sell it, could you I said, well, yeah,
I could sell it. I said, but if I had
to sell it in a hurry, you know, I'd have
to take a little bit of a loss on it.
He said, so. And I was telling somebody this about
(38:17):
like a gun. I said, you know, buy it if
you don't like it, sell it if you can only
get like if it cost you two hundred dollars and
you can sell it for two hundred dollars less than
you paid for it. Then the experience was two hundred dollars.
That's where it costs you. Oh, there's an exit plan there.
(38:37):
I could sell it and whatever the difference. So maybe
I make money and maybe I sell it for the
same amount. Maybe I'll lose a little or whatever I
lost on it was the cost of enjoying it for
that period of time. I guess I would just ask
you to take a look at what's going on with
you and change your thinking and try to get the
yes on things, find the things that give you joy
in life. We don't live forever, and make it as
(39:00):
good as you can. I'm Tom Gresham, be right back.
All let's go straight to the phone line four Bobs
without a stock World, Indiana. Hey Bob, thank you for
your patience. You're on the air, sir. What's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (39:22):
Well, Tom, you were talking last week about nineteen eleven,
and I love nineteen eleven as well. When I first
fired one in the army a million years ago. But
I've got a got to every caliber except the little ones,
you know, the sport thirty two, twenty fives, and I
don't have one on three fifty seven sig yet, but
I carried you at nineteen eleven with me constantly, and
(39:44):
I have to shoot it to range once a year
with the PD that I retired from, and I carry
you seven six two by twenty five tokriv round in
my nineteen eleven and each sigh I fire at Yes.
Every time I fired it to range, the range officers
come over and ask me out am I shooting? Because
(40:05):
as you know, it doesn't sound like any regular firearm
with that blast coming out of the gun.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
It sounds like your gun blew up. They want to
find out if you're okay.
Speaker 10 (40:16):
Over there, Well, the gun didn't blow up? And accurate
is you can possibly imagine? Just imagine it. I mean,
it's a wonderful gun. It shoots well and you can
hold it on rapid fire. I mean, it's amazing cartridge.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
You have a lot of guns, and you know guns.
Why do you carry a nineteen eleven?
Speaker 10 (40:39):
It's dependable, I'm familiar with it. I don't have to
think about it. It's just an automatic muscle response and
brain reaction.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
And you left out the best part, which you know
what we always leave out the best part. We would
tell people about this because we take it for granted.
The triggers are the best on any pistol.
Speaker 10 (40:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't mention that, of course,
but you know a lot better than I do.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, I mean the trigger on nineteen eleven. And look
I appreciate the call, Thank you sir. Yeah, you know.
I love it when these youngsters are tell me, oh,
glocks are of your fudd guns or old guns are
boomers guns.
Speaker 10 (41:13):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I say, yeah, try this. You put a nineteen eleven
in their hands and I shoot it and go It's
like this weird thing happens. You see their face like
they're kind of surprised, and then they kind of smile,
and then they say, oh, now I see what you're
talking about. Yeah, if you haven't shot one, you don't
(41:36):
know anything about it. And when you shoot one and
you got to put a few magazines through it, you go, oh,
oh look it's a small group. I can actually shoot this.
Yes it's comfortable in your hand, and yes it's not
a double stack wonder nine bucket of bullets cut of
a deal. I get all that. At the same time,
(41:58):
it meets the needs of a lot of peace. And
when you learn to run it. It's an amazing device,
and there comes so many different flavors and types and
actually price ranges. You could probably I don't know where
you'd start four hundred, five hundred bucks lower level, you know,
basically your everyday pistol, and then I'm not sure there's
(42:21):
the top end, but you can certainly spend four or
five thousand bucks on some of the real high end ones.
Are those better? Of course they are. That'd be silly
to say they're not. Are they ten times as good?
Probably not? But don't you think that in all things
in life, the last ten percent of improvement cost one
(42:45):
hundred percent more cars, cameras, guns, I don't care what
it is. Binoculars, yeah, are they better? Yes? Do I
need it? I don't know. You know it doesn't matter
enough to you. I don't. But we're going to circle
all the way back to what I was just talking
about a few minutes ago. If doesn't give you joy
(43:07):
just having a an Ed Brown or a Wilston Combat
or somebody else's really nice nineteen eleven and make you happy,
we'll go for it. Sell three of your other guns
and get the one you like. It's really kind of simple.
If you've never experienced a nineteen eleven. One of your
buddies has one, go ask, hey, can I shoot that
with you? Let's go out and shoot that. I want
(43:27):
to see what the fuss is all about. Maybe you'll
figure it out. Yeah, you may not end up wanting one,
but at least you'll be more knowledgeable about them. Hey,
when we come back, I want to talk about what
it really means to have a gun and use it
in self defense, and the things that you need to
know and do and carry
The Ruger Sfaar is one of the Trimmer's three eight
modern sporting rifles available more power but lighter in the
field and range. See how light it is at Ruger
dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, welcome back to Gun Talk. Tom Gresham here. Yeah,
we've had them on the show before. I wanted to
get him back in here because his status has changed.
Blake Meguez, of course, was now on the or in
the Louisiana House for like eight plus years, and now
you not a US A Louisiana senator, and Blake, you're
trying to become that US senator. You announced you're running
(00:34):
against Bill Casty for the US Senate. Okay, why in
the world would somebody who has some sense like you
do want to go to DC.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Well, good morning, Tom.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I'll tell you the reason why I'm running for the
US Senate is because Louisiana deserves more than just another
election season Republican. If you look at my background, I'm
a seventh generation Louisiana and my family migrated here in
Louisiana back in the seventeen hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So the love for Louisiana flows through my veins.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
And the reason that I'm running is because President Trump
needs an ally for his America First agendas who has
supported full time, who won't stand in his way, and
unlike our current US Senator who voted to convict him
on impeachment. So I'm proud to be the macachoice in
the race and went elected to the US Senate. The
folks back in Louisiana, they can count on me to
(01:20):
never forget where I came from. Are the people who
sent me to the Senate to fight for them, And
I'm going to be the voice of the people in DC.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
All right. Let me remind people they may know or
may not, but you are like a national champion level shooter.
You can handle pretty much any kind of gun. And
I love, absolutely love your ad. Your commercial you put together.
It may be the best one I've ever seen, with
you shooting pistols and rifles and blowing up tanneright and
(01:50):
doing all sorts of stuff. I mean, who else can
do that?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Well, Tom, I appreciate it. I'm a former national world
champion shooter. My main focus is handguns. And I'll tell
you we made a our message very clear. We had
a strong launch on where we stand in the race.
We're the magat choice we're very conservative, and we're running
on a platform to put Louisana first. And I wasn't
afraid to put an AR fifteen in my video. I
wasn't afraid to say how strong I am and how
(02:14):
I won't compromise an individual's Second Amendment rights. And I
think if you look at my background on what I've authored,
I've been the author of a lot of key legislation
in Louisiana, including Constitutional Carry, which strengthens citizens' Second Amendment
rights here in Louisiana. And if elected to the US Senate,
I plan on being that voice for the citizens across
the nation because we shall not infringe on our constitutional rights,
(02:38):
and those are our rights to defend ourselves and our
loved ones, and then the most important thing, to protect
our constitutional republic.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You know, and Mike, you and I know how strong
you are on the Second Amendment, and you've done so
many good things in the louis Jannal legislature. But there's
something I think maybe a lot of folks the voters
in Louisiana are not aware of. Yeah, and they know
Bill Cassidy's name, who is the current US sender, they
may not know that he not only voted for the
Biden gun control bill, the bipartisan Safer Community Act, he
(03:08):
was actually one of the task force members who put
that thing together. He supported and pushed and actually crafted
the Biden gun control Bill as well as voting to
impeach President Trump. Louisianams need to know that you couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Have more of a contrast in this race.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, Senator Cassidy was a key member to pass the
bypartisan Safer Community Act. And what that did was it
expanded background checks, and it focused on infringing on the
rights of young adults and the young Americans who have
Second Amendment rights just like anyone else. It also opened
the door for universal background checks, which could lead to
gun registries, which could lead to gun confiscation programs. Put
(03:49):
like seven hundred and fifty million dollars into anti gun
red flag laws, trying to centivize states to adopt these
laws which trample all of these Secondment of rights. They
have no due process and well a little to no
evidence someone a court can order law enforcement to confiscate
your firearms. Gun Owners of America called Senator Cassidy a sellout.
(04:09):
The National Association of Gun Rights called this bill, the
gun control wish list. This is something a conservative constitutionalists
should never support.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And here's the contrasts. You've got the guy who authored.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Gun control versus the guy myself who was the author
of one of the strongest constitutional carry legislations in the
entire country, giving individuals the rights to defend themselves and
their loved ones without needing government's permission. Our Second Amendment
rights shall not be infringe. And Senator Cassidy doesn't agree
with that. He supported laws that would infringe on the
(04:45):
Second Amendment. And look at all of his counterparts that
joined him. Look at some of these members like Senator
Burr Collins, Romney, Tommy Martowski. These are all the same
senators who voted to impeach President Trump DC phonies election
year Republicans.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We are done with those.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It is time to have US senators who support President
Trump and his America First agenda and will put the
people of America first.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
All right, we're talking with Blake Beguez. He is running
for US Senate right now. To see this hell by
Bill Cassidy. Blake, when you talk to people in Louisiana
and your tour of the state, you're going all around
are you fighting that people are actually aware of the
Cassidy history, of his legacy, of his record.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I can tell you that they want to change all
sixty four parish of across his state. They are hungry
to change out their US senator, Senator.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They're hungry for new leadership.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
They want a new generational leader who will fight for
their children and fight to preserve their American dream where
their children and their grandchildren can prosper. They haven't forgotten
that Senator Cassidy, he committed the cardinal sin of the
Republican Party, which is voting to impeach President Trump. If
Senator Cassie would have got his way, President Trump would
(06:03):
not be president right now, he would not be doing
things to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And they hadn't forgotten.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
And they're just so sick and tired of these DC phonies,
these election year Republicans, and it's they want to change,
and they if they want someone who will support the
president full time.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I'm their guy. I'm the magachoice in this race.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, So obviously you come into this the incumbent always
has an advantage. I mean that's just the way politics work.
What's it take for you to come from where you
are and try to knock off the incumbent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Well, Tom, we came in this thing guns of blizing.
I don't know if you've got a chance to look
at our first financial report.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
In only thirteen days, we raised nearly a million dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We outraise every other opponent in the race on individual contributions.
Our supporters are real louise Inans. They're not DC special
interests or swamp money. That type of enthusiasm is what's
going to take to win this race. It will be
an expensive race. It's a statewide race. And for all
you listeners out there, encourage them to go to my
website blakemigaz dot com. Check out my launch video. If
(07:08):
you want to get rid of another DC, phone me.
If you want someone who supports your Second Amendment rights
for decades to come. I asked that you contribute to
my campaign. Support my effort.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Tom.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
We've got over five thousand individual contributions and we've only
been in this race for two months.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
The MOMENTIMU is on our side.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
We just got to keep fighting, keep pushing forward, and
if we get elected to the US Senate, you will
have someone that will respect your Second Amendment rights and
understands that they shall not be infringed.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, let me just tell people they need to go
to the website Blakemigaz dot com just to look at
the launch video because it is outrageously great. I mean,
there's what you did was I mean, you're shooting different guns.
Obviously you know how to hand let me be the
national champion shooter. But it is a hoot, and you
guys did a great job. And as you say, you
didn't shy away from thinking, well, some people are not
(07:57):
going to like the fact that I'm shooting guns. Just
own it. You're a championshooter and you support the Second Amendment.
So I guess the final part is the way you win. Well,
there are a lot of ways to win elections, but
you can't do it without money because money is what
makes everything work. So I don't care if you're in
Louisiana or if you're in another part of the world.
If you take a look at this, you think, boy,
(08:18):
this would be a good guy to have in the US Senate.
You might want to throw the box the cost of
a box of AMMO or maybe even the cost of
a new gun in there. I just would invite people
to go take a look at it and see what
they think. Blake, congratulations on this. I wish you lots
of luck. You've been a friend of gun Talk through
the years.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I can tell you, if I'm elected to the US Senate,
the folks back in Louisiana can count on me to
never forget who I am, where I came from, or
the people in Louisiana and sent me to the Senate
to fight for them. I'll fight for this country and
I always put America first. And thank you so much
for having me on the show. And God bless our

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, we talk about that too.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
On your crosshairs, I like a thin crosshair.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Aja, you're really dating yourself by calling things crosshairs. You're
redical whatever.

Speaker 8 (11:01):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I'm Kim Roady, a six time Olympian in shooting, and
you're listening to gun Top. For thirty years, Tom has
been championing our love for the shooting, sports, hunting and
firearms safety. Thank you Tom for inspiring so many of
us and for keeping the conversation alive.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
All Right, we're back with you. Eight to six six
Talk Gun gets you in here, Tom, Talk Gun, same
number In Tennessee. Interesting thing, a three judge panel in
Tennessee judges declared that Tennessee's intent to go Armed statute
is unconstitutional. Interestingly, in Tennessee, they have or had a
(11:45):
provision in the law that says it's illegal to carry
a gun with the intent to go arm, which is
kind of Weird's like, Okay, if you carry a gun,
you obviously are going armed, but the law says a
person commits and an offense who carries with the intent
to go arm a firearm or a club. There are
provisions in the law where you can have what's called
(12:06):
an affirmative defense and you can say, well, I had
a concealed carry permit or I was carried home. But
you can still get stopped by a police officer. You
could actually get charged because you had a gun with
the intent to go armed, and the course said, nah,
that's unconstitutional. Did do that? And furthermore, this law that
says you can't carry in parks, that's unconstitutional too. This
(12:30):
is part of this greater trend. I started the show
with today that we are winning and winning and winning,
and yes, I get it when people said, well, yeah,
but we didn't get that. Yeah, but we didn't get
this other thing. It is tiring sometimes to listen to
the children yammering with such things. You want to say, hey,
(12:54):
leave this to the adults in the room. We've been
doing this for fifty years. We've been doing this at
a time when it looked like we wouldn't make any
headway and we were just going to try to slow
the demise of the Second Amendment. And for us to
be winning and winning and winning in courts, in legislatures,
(13:15):
in the Supreme Court. It's amazing. And it comes slowly,
and you don't always get what you want, okay, but
you get part of it and you come back and
you go for more. I mean, it really is as
simple as that. You try to get what you can
when you can. Hey, let's go talk with Bruce out
of Louisiana. He's got a range of forrest a Bruce,
(13:36):
what you've been shooting?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Man? I just got a banished nine K from Silencer Central. Yeah,
that little dude is sweet. Now, it's not my first silencer,
it's my first pistol silencer because I didn't want to
mess with boosters and you know, a lot of them
look clunky and big and impractical. And this little dude
(14:01):
is four inches and two and a half ounces and
no booster.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Would you say two and a half ounces?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Two point eight it?
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Three D printed titanium incannel something I don't know the
I don't know the alloy that they used.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
So if I'm.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Saying that wrong, please forget me. Vanished and silence of Central.
But the dude, that little thing don't weigh nothing. It
is rated for nine obviously three hundred blackout and seven
six two thirty nine in subs. So if you wanted
to put it on a little ranch rifle sub sonic uh.
(14:41):
I've been using it on a seven six two thirty
nine ranch rifle with subs, my nine millimeter block and
a five to seven. It makes a five to seven
hearing safe. I shot about one hundred and fifty rounds
out of my little five to seven card being the
other day no ear pro.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Wow, you sound like you were having so much fun
with this thing.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Well, I've got silencers. I hunt with them. I've got
a handful of form ones, and I've got a sacre
ASR and thirty cow And they put this deal up
for a free tax stamp, and my buddy called me.
If I'm going too long, tell me. But my buddy
called me and said, how do I get a silencer?
And I said, well, they I don't know. Let me
show you what I know about a couple places that
(15:27):
you can do it real quick. And when I was
on silencer Central, it said free stamp if you get
any one of our you know, approved eligible silencers, And
I was like, well, shucks, I'm gonna look for me too,
and I come across that nine K and me and
him ordered on the same day and never left the
(15:49):
house other than obviously work and you know, life, but
never left the house. Chose from four or five hundred silencers.
Three and a half weeks later, knock Knox FedEx. Can
I get a signature? Here's your cute little package.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Wow? And that's size. For those that don't let me,
let me explain. When you said they're gonna pay the tax,
what they're doing is they're discounting the silencer by two
hundred dollars to cover the cost of the tax. However
you want to figure it out, because at the end
of this year, we're not paying any tax at all,
this two hundred dollars tax on suppressors and silencers, and
so they're thinking, well, we're going to go ahead and
(16:25):
cover that for probably for the rest of the year
at least if you jump on it right now. Silenceforcentral
dot Com. All right, So this is the is that
the K model?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
It's the vanished nine K. Yeah, and it's their brand,
it's their house brand, and it's in a nine K.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, that's terrific. I mean, you're having a ball. Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I shot it with some one forty sevens. Yes, I
had to go buy a new barrel from my P eighty,
I said glock earlier. It's a P eighty Okay. I
had to go buy a threaded barrel for that. When
I was at the gun show yesterday. Picked up a
barrel for one hundred bucks, took it home, shot three
or four mags through it. I had one hiccup, but
I do believe it was poor grip on my part,
(17:13):
to be honest, because out of the other out of
the other four mags, just one for seven's and it
sounds like a typewriter.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That is terrific. Well, that's a great range of por it.
I sure appreciate you calling in with that. We thank you, sir.
Let me grab Joseph online three out of Henderson, Nevada. Hey, Joseph,
what do you got here? Hey?
Speaker 11 (17:37):
I got a question for you, because I always appreciate
your showing your opinion. I noticed that I'm a clock fan,
but I have other CZ's and everything. You know, I'm
a good gun clucker, but I noticed that clock is
standing down many of the calibers. And my question to
you is do you think it would be a good
ideas such a manufacturer design their own model of a
(18:05):
three fifty seven magnum. Now I have a Coonan the
second generation, because the ones back in the seventies went well,
they went bankrupt and then they came back to have
a Couonan, which fis it wonderfully and then we had
the Desert Eagle. But what's your opinion about a semi
automatic three fifty seven magnet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I think it's a cool concept without much of a use. Okay,
let's let's examine that. I mean, why we got a
rimmed case that always makes it more difficult in setiatto,
and we're going to get it because there's more power.
But why don't I mean, my question would be, why
don't you just go to a ten milimeter?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Well, because three fifty seven magnum ammunition is a little
bit better to ease did a purchase. It's long standing.
It was established to stop cars and everything like that.
And I've got to be honest with you, tom My Couonan,
I've got a thousand rounds through it. I think I
(19:11):
had two failure defeats, and I think maybe that's because of.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
My limp rists or whatever.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
But but the only problem with it is the coonan
only has a seven round magazine.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
I think that clock, I think that clock could enhance that.
I think that because many of us have lever action
three fifty seven is we have revolvals three fifty seven,
So it's around that a lot of households appreciate.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
Well, that's the reason I asked the question.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I love the three fifty seven magum. I've got a
number of revolvers in three fifty seven magum. I personally
don't see the appeal of a semiauto in three fifty
seven when, as I say, going back to it, we
have the ten milimeter which gives you at least that
much power, and you can get them in double stack,
and you can get them a block vital twenty. If
(20:05):
youel like glocks, you can get smaller, larger versions. There
are just all sorts of tens out there right now,
and AMMO is really easy to get. You can get
kind of lightweight practice AMMO. You can get full house
defensive AMMO or even hunting AMMO, even bear protection AMMO.
I don't know, I get it that it's cool and
(20:28):
Conan made a really nice pistol, a Semiato in three
fifty seven magnum. But when I look at the marketplace
right now and right now, I will tell you gun
sales are down across the board. Everybody is seeing reduction
in sales right now. I don't see anybody going to
Great Links to bring out a new gun and a
(20:48):
new caliber, or to re engineer something that would require
a lot of R and D work. So I appreciate
the call, sir, It's just you asked me what might
take is if I'm looking for more power than nine
in a semiauto, I mean, forty five is kind of
you know. I love forty fives, but that's not really
more power, not much. I'm going to a ten, and
(21:11):
I well, I did go to a ten. Our first
three gun Talk guns that we put out were ten
milimeters pistols. We have two nineteen elevens and one was
the sick P two twenty. In a gun Talk configuration,
we like the tens and they really work, and in
a good pistol, it's not a lot more recoil and
you get a lot more power. And I just had it.
(21:35):
That's kind of where I am today, and I think
that's where the marketplace is. And so the original question is, well,
why would they not make it because it's not going
to sell. That's why it's like, Okay, they're actually cutting
down on some of their models, some of their chamberings
because they don't sell. People say, well, why did so
and so drop such and such Only one reason they
(21:55):
didn't sell or they couldn't make money at it. If
it's selling and they're making money at they're not dropping
it out of the line. It's you know, the only
reason that people go to work every day is to
make a living, and the only reason that the company
is in businesses to make a profit. Pretty simple stuff.
Eight six six Talk Gun. I'm Tom Gresham and this
is gun talk. Yes, it's that time of year. Everybody's
(22:23):
getting ready for hunting Steason. I was packing up some
stuff today going on a scouting trip this week. I'm
going to go up to North Idaho, take a look
where we're going to be hunting moose later on in
the fall. We've got to look at the area. You
got to find out where the roads are, the trails
where we might be going. So and of course I'm figuring, oh, well,
what guns do you take on a scouting trips several
(22:45):
because that's what we do. Hey, Jeff Golden out to Meridian, Idaho.
Hey Jeff, you're going to be going on a hell
cut this year. What's the deal?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Yeah, I've been. I quit hunting years ago, and I
never was that much of a big game hunter. But
I'm seventy two years old, and every year I would
apply for a controlled out come for antler to sell. Okay,
and I never got picked. And this year i't, on
my life, win or lose. This is my last year
(23:14):
lo and behold, I drew. My question is the two
biggest rifles I have are two seventy and three O eight,
And I just wondered which rifle would be the best
one to you?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, I mean I like the question, but let's expand
a little more. Because you said the two biggest rifles
you have. What other rifles do you have? Center fire rifles?
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Yeah, they're the two, the two biggest rounds that I shoot.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, I understand that, and I gather that you're I
guess the two seventy. Well, I'm going to say this.
Are you gonna be hunting on your own? You're going
to be with people and your man.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Going to be with someone else.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
My there's really no difference ballistically between the two three
or eight and two seventy. I would pick if it
were me, I'd pick the lightest one because lightweight is
going to be easier to carry, easier to hunt with you.
There's not going to get us tired carrying it.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
That's well, that's important because my three weight is it's
described as a tactical bolt action rifle with a heavy
barrel and everything, and it's significantly heavier than my Remington
models seven sixty and two seventy.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, you don't need to. Now. Do you have any
other center fire rifles? What calibers are those?
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yeah, I've had my Model ninety four thirty thirty, but
I'm not that good with open shikes anymore. And I
have a Marlin lever Action forty four magnum.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay, no, neither one of those. We're still gonna work
working on. The two seventy is still my choice so far.
What else you got.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
And the ammunition I have for both for the hunt?
I was going to use factory or I have some
Winchester Ballistic silver tip thirty grain for the two seventy
one hundred and sixty eight grains for the three a week.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Use that in. The two seventy one hundred and thirty
grain ballistic silver tip is a great bullet. It will
work just fine. You will talk to people who will
tell you the two seventies not enough for elk. They
don't know what they're talking about. They also will tell you,
don't use the ballistic tip. That'll blow up. That's a
terrible bullet. No, they don't know what they're talking about.
(25:43):
It's a really good bullet with a really stiff and
heavy base. It'll hold together, it'll expand and do what
it wants you want it to do. I think you've
arrived at the conclusion. Get your you know, get ready
to go. The only thing I would add is to
go out and do not just a little bit of
siding in, but actually do some shooting and practice and
shoot like get off the bench, shoot from standing, shoot
(26:05):
from a sitting position, shoot from prone, because that's how
you're going to be out there. The main thing is
being able to hit well. And whatever the distance is,
where you say I don't feel comfortable hitting a nine
inch paper plate, then that's your maximum distance. You shouldn't
be shooting any further than that.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Okay, I'm glad I called you because I really didn't
want to carry that three away and take the pipe
off of us and everything.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, I'm gone to lighter and lighter guns heavy. Well,
good luck. I hope it works out. I hope you
get that out. I do appreciate the call. Yeah, I
see people carrying these tactical rifles and heavy barrels and
massive scopes and big bipods. And that's fine if you're
(26:54):
going to walk one hundred yards and set up somewhere.
But if you're going up and down the mountains, unless
you're like twenty five and work out all the time,
that's the load you don't need. They say, well it's
more accurate. Okay, great, it'll shoot half inch groups and
my five pound rifle will shoot three quarter inch groups.
How small is the elk that you're hunting? Are you
(27:15):
going to miss it with a rifle that shoots a
three quarters of an inch or a one edge group?
I don't think so. The main thing is to have
a gun that you can carry that doesn't fatigue you,
in a caliber that is appropriate for whether it's deer, elk,
antlope whatever it is, and then the main thing is
to get out and shoot it and shoot it and
(27:37):
shoot it a lot. Shoot it standing up, shoot it
sitting down, shoot it on the ground, shoot it leaning
against a tree, whatever, with the rest with shooting sticks.
I do like bipods, but I don't carry a bipod.
I don't take a bipod hunting with me, and really
(27:58):
probably only one reason is is why carry the weight?
And where I hunt generally speak, I'm not going to
get a chance to use a bipod anyway. I'm going
to be sitting or leaning over a pack, or laying
down or leaning against a tree, and I'm going to
find a rest of some sort and the bikepid just
doesn't really give me anything. So that's kind of where
(28:19):
I've ended up. I keep taking stuff off and going
to smaller scopes, in lighter scopes, because I mean the
idea of having a scope that weighs a pound and
a half or two pounds and as the twenty power magnification,
are you kidding me? I mean, I'm perfectly fine shooting
a scope it's a one to six power and shooting
out this four hundred yards easy, easy, with a six
(28:42):
power scope. You don't need a twenty power scope to
shoot a deer art elk. Now, if you're one of
those that wants to shoot them out there at a
country mile knock yourself out, that's not my deal. I
guess I would say I'm more of a hundred than
a shooter when it comes to shooting gritters. Just my thing. Hey,
when it come back, I want to talk a little
(29:03):
bit about this idea of when you walk out of
your house and you want to have the stuff on
you that is good protection that you need for everyday. Carrie,
what do you need? And I got an idea that's
probably not what you're thinking. We'll be right back. Do
(29:29):
you want to have a special rifle that can do
almost everything and that your friends don't have? Hi, I'm
Tom Gresham, host of Gun Talk, and here's the deal.
Every few years we put out a special gun, a
very limited run that GT thirty marks thirty years on
the air, and this one is really different. It's a
(29:51):
general purpose rifle you can legally have in all states
and it's crazy versatile. Based on the Ruger American Jen platform,
we created a scout rifle in five, five, six or
three oh eight sixteen inch threaded barrel only thirty seven
inches long overall extra long rail for mounting a standard
(30:13):
scope at extended irolaf scope like Colonel Jeff Cooper preferred
or a red dot and it comes with great iron
sights so it's ready for the range right out of
the box. It looks great too, with a cryptech camel
finish topped with a smoke bronze metal treatment. The five
five to six version takes standard armgs and the three
(30:36):
oh eight uses standard AIICS pattern or pmgs. This is
a short run, so don't miss out. Check out guntalkscout
dot com. That's gun talkscout dot com. It's accurate, attractive,
and you can take it with you to all states
Scout scope, standard scope or no scope at all. Set
(30:58):
it up the way you want. When you pull it
from the case, your buddies will say what the heck
is that and they're gonna want one. Seriously. This is
a great rifle do everything, rifle hunting, target shooting, defensive
use gun talkscout dot com. Don't put it off. These
(31:19):
are going quickly. Get your GT thirty gun talkscout dot com. Okay,
I'm gonna do a bait and switch here. I want
(31:40):
to change my subject. I want to talk about what
you carry and what's in your head and all that,
but I want to say that until we get our
next guest on, because he's an expert at that, we'll
talk about that. I had an experience this morning I
want to tell you about. And this is not really
a gun related thing. This is just know this is
(32:00):
gun talk, and I know we talk about guns, but
sometimes I want to talk about something else, and I
guess since I have the microphone, I get to do that.
So I'm driving into town this morning, and for me,
that's like twenty five minutes, and the first three miles
our dirt road, and I jump in my old jeep
because I hadn't driven it in a while more to
(32:21):
get in that and just I got the windows down,
I got some music playing. I'm driving along and I'm thinking, man,
this is really fine. This is a lovely day. It's
a beautiful morning, kind of cool here this morning, and
I'm tuning a long in this kind of rady old
jeep and just think about how much I'm enjoying it,
(32:43):
and think about one of the things I hear. That's
one of the saddest phrases that I hear people say.
I've heard it for most of my life. This goes
to mindset and what you're doing with your life idea.
The phrase is people say, I've always wanted to fill
(33:04):
in the blank, whatever it is. I've always wanted to
learn to fly. I've always wanted to have a really
nice gun. I've always wanted to hunt whatever that is,
elk antelope, whatever I've always wanted to huh. I've always
(33:30):
taken the attitude of I'm just going to do it.
I raised my kids with a phrase, and it was this.
It's kind of a family motto. Always say yes and
then find a way to get there. If somebody's asked
(33:50):
you if you can do something, say yes. Even though
you don't know how, you can go learn You're smart,
you can do this. Say yes. Is there a way
to get there? Yeah, Okay. It may take a few
years to make that happen. It may take some dollars,
it may take changing your budget. I've always wanted to
learn to fly. I said that, and then I went
(34:12):
and did it forty one years ago, and I've been
flying for forty one years. Because I said, yes, I've
always wanted to have a really nice rifle. Okay, sell
some of the ones you have now, I mean, are
we going to keep acquiring pedestrian regular old guns that
(34:33):
were perfectly fine? They're great. But the question I would
ask is do they give you joy when you pick
it up? Do you go wow? I really like that.
You know what I'm talking about. If you've bought a
nice rifle or shotgun, or a pistol or staccato or
I mean whatever happens to be, you go, man, I
(34:54):
just love owning that. Every time I pick it up,
I really enjoy it. I've always wanted to have a
classic Jeep. Cool, they'll sell you one. I understand we
all have constraints. Nobody has an unlimited budget, and yet
(35:15):
at the same time, I think we sometimes cheat ourselves
by not giving ourselves permission. You do, in fact have
to give yourself permission to do these things, the things
that will enhance your life, that will make you happy,
that will, yes, in fact, give you joy. I've always
(35:38):
wanted to go to Alaska. Heard that a lot or
we moved to Alaska. We lived up there for five years.
I was the editor of Alaska magazine. Can I tell
you how many people have said to me, boy, you
know I've always wanted to go to Alaska. I said,
you know what, you can go tomorrow, you can go
next week, and go next year. It's easy. Now, can
(36:04):
you afford it? I don't know that. I don't know
the answer to that question. Could you afford it if
you skipped spending on something else that you regularly spend
money on? Probably? So, Yeah, priorities kind of one of
those deals of you know, okay, what's important to me?
We tend to worry about the wrong things. You've heard
(36:25):
me say that many times? Am I spending money on
things that don't give me joy? Do I have thirty
or forty guns in the safe that I don't really shoot?
What if just throw this idea out? What have you
sold half of them and bought three to replace them?
(36:50):
I mean the process of ordering a totally custom made
nineteen eleven because I've always wanted to have a custom
nineteen eleven. Yes, it's expensive, and I'm going to sell
two or three guns or four guns to whatever it
takes to finance it, because I know this thing will
(37:13):
bring me joy. It will bring me joy. When I
pick it up, when I rack the slide, when I
look at it, and when I go shoot it, and
I will shoot it, trust me. So that's been kind
of my I guess as I get older and look
at you know, where I've been in life, I've either
been fortunate enough or willing to say yes to a
(37:34):
lot of things. Maybe take a chance or go, how
would you like to live in Alaska? Yes? You know,
are they downside? Yes, of course, but let's go give
it a try. Had a friend one time, Thank you, Bill,
I appreciate this. I was looking at buying actually Everson
(37:55):
airplane at the time. I said, well, I don't know it.
You know it costs. And he says, let me ask
you a question. I said yeah. He said, if you
had to sell it, could you I said, well, yeah,
I could sell it. I said, but if I had
to sell it in a hurry, you know, I'd have
to take a little bit of a loss on it.
He said, so. And I was telling somebody this about
(38:17):
like a gun. I said, you know, buy it if
you don't like it, sell it if you can only
get like if it cost you two hundred dollars and
you can sell it for two hundred dollars less than
you paid for it. Then the experience was two hundred dollars.
That's where it costs you. Oh, there's an exit plan there.
(38:37):
I could sell it and whatever the difference. So maybe
I make money and maybe I sell it for the
same amount. Maybe I'll lose a little or whatever I
lost on it was the cost of enjoying it for
that period of time. I guess I would just ask
you to take a look at what's going on with
you and change your thinking and try to get the
yes on things, find the things that give you joy
in life. We don't live forever, and make it as
(39:00):
good as you can. I'm Tom Gresham, be right back.
All let's go straight to the phone line four Bobs
without a stock World, Indiana. Hey Bob, thank you for
your patience. You're on the air, sir. What's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (39:22):
Well, Tom, you were talking last week about nineteen eleven,
and I love nineteen eleven as well. When I first
fired one in the army a million years ago. But
I've got a got to every caliber except the little ones,
you know, the sport thirty two, twenty fives, and I
don't have one on three fifty seven sig yet, but
I carried you at nineteen eleven with me constantly, and
(39:44):
I have to shoot it to range once a year
with the PD that I retired from, and I carry
you seven six two by twenty five tokriv round in
my nineteen eleven and each sigh I fire at Yes.
Every time I fired it to range, the range officers
come over and ask me out am I shooting? Because
(40:05):
as you know, it doesn't sound like any regular firearm
with that blast coming out of the gun.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
It sounds like your gun blew up. They want to
find out if you're okay.
Speaker 10 (40:16):
Over there, Well, the gun didn't blow up? And accurate
is you can possibly imagine? Just imagine it. I mean,
it's a wonderful gun. It shoots well and you can
hold it on rapid fire. I mean, it's amazing cartridge.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
You have a lot of guns, and you know guns.
Why do you carry a nineteen eleven?
Speaker 10 (40:39):
It's dependable, I'm familiar with it. I don't have to
think about it. It's just an automatic muscle response and
brain reaction.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
And you left out the best part, which you know
what we always leave out the best part. We would
tell people about this because we take it for granted.
The triggers are the best on any pistol.
Speaker 10 (40:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't mention that, of course,
but you know a lot better than I do.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, I mean the trigger on nineteen eleven. And look
I appreciate the call, Thank you sir. Yeah, you know.
I love it when these youngsters are tell me, oh,
glocks are of your fudd guns or old guns are
boomers guns.
Speaker 10 (41:13):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I say, yeah, try this. You put a nineteen eleven
in their hands and I shoot it and go It's
like this weird thing happens. You see their face like
they're kind of surprised, and then they kind of smile,
and then they say, oh, now I see what you're
talking about. Yeah, if you haven't shot one, you don't
(41:36):
know anything about it. And when you shoot one and
you got to put a few magazines through it, you go, oh,
oh look it's a small group. I can actually shoot this.
Yes it's comfortable in your hand, and yes it's not
a double stack wonder nine bucket of bullets cut of
a deal. I get all that. At the same time,
(41:58):
it meets the needs of a lot of peace. And
when you learn to run it. It's an amazing device,
and there comes so many different flavors and types and
actually price ranges. You could probably I don't know where
you'd start four hundred, five hundred bucks lower level, you know,
basically your everyday pistol, and then I'm not sure there's
(42:21):
the top end, but you can certainly spend four or
five thousand bucks on some of the real high end ones.
Are those better? Of course they are. That'd be silly
to say they're not. Are they ten times as good?
Probably not? But don't you think that in all things
in life, the last ten percent of improvement cost one
(42:45):
hundred percent more cars, cameras, guns, I don't care what
it is. Binoculars, yeah, are they better? Yes? Do I
need it? I don't know. You know it doesn't matter
enough to you. I don't. But we're going to circle
all the way back to what I was just talking
about a few minutes ago. If doesn't give you joy
(43:07):
just having a an Ed Brown or a Wilston Combat
or somebody else's really nice nineteen eleven and make you happy,
we'll go for it. Sell three of your other guns
and get the one you like. It's really kind of simple.
If you've never experienced a nineteen eleven. One of your
buddies has one, go ask, hey, can I shoot that
with you? Let's go out and shoot that. I want
(43:27):
to see what the fuss is all about. Maybe you'll
figure it out. Yeah, you may not end up wanting one,
but at least you'll be more knowledgeable about them. Hey,
when we come back, I want to talk about what
it really means to have a gun and use it
in self defense, and the things that you need to
know and do and carry
