Speaker 2 (03:03):

I mean, how can you beat that? So we're gonna

(03:45):

from three I Houltures is calling inco They're gonna be
here in person next Friday and Saturday making cultures.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
May be making one for me.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, this is that when I was you know, I
was kind of being facetious at the top of the hour.
But you know, you have that gun, then you have
a light on it, you haven't an optic on it,
and you're having a hard time finding a holster. These
guys can do it and they're awesome. So it's been
a couple of years since they've actually been back here
making holsters in person. So they're gonna be back Friday
and Saturday too. But we're gonna talk to him here
in a little bit. And what else all we got
(04:22):
to think our sponsors, US Laws, Shield, Jackson, Egress, Windows,
Black Wing, Shooting, Centera, River ditche Culery, seeing US Engraving,
and of course l EPD Training Facility, all who make
the show possible each week. And uh, let's see Jason.
You know what, can I get one thing off my chest?
And it's just this is just a this is just
an Eric rant for a moment. Okay, we had someone
(04:44):
leave a bad review and I we're a small business
and you take these personally because our guys work so
hard to make things good here. We're not perfect and
we make mistakes and if we screw something up, leave
us a bad review and you know we'll But we
got a review this week and it was from a
gentleman who it all stemmed from he was throwing a
(05:05):
cigarette butts in the parking lot. We and we asked
him to do you mind picking those up, because otherwise
we're out there Laurie is out there picking them up
on Mondays. Okay, so just a little common courtesy. Well
that didn't seem to sit well with him, and he
basically said, the heck with you, and he was in
the class, and he was in the class. We asked
(05:28):
him a second time and he you know, we have
a place for receptacle for them both doors and so
but somehow in the midst of all of that, he
leaves a bad review. And my choice, I threw out
all the reviews. I can't stand the social media stuff
and the emphasis people puts on because it just it
doesn't tell a picture, and it gives the voice to
(05:48):
someone like this gentleman who threw trash in our parking
lot and leaves us a bad review. And then that
goes against you know, everyone who goes out there and
looks at reviews and oh there are only a two
star review. I mean, that's the whole thing, is.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Throw our cigarette exactly, so it just died, you know,
So maybe maybe can we leave him a bad review. Well,
we can put him out there and say, hey, folks,
leave this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
About you know, what. I just simply reply, I hope
your day gets better, because if this is what you're
worked up about, then your day is going a lot
worse than mine. So guys, if you missed the show,
you can always catch the podcast that We're at six
ten w TV and iHeartRadio. We are on Spotify, Spreaker, Facebook, YouTube,
really any place out there. We are there this guy, Yeah,
(06:32):
he's a real butt. Heead Yes, j C. That is true, man,
I should have put that in a review. JC. We
got a couple of minutes. Do you have any news today?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh gosh, I mean I'm I'm happier than a kid
in the candy store. I haven't really been on live
here since the election, and but it's not just that,
it's some individual things that have just happened. So I'll
get it. How much time do we have to We
got a good podcast. We're good. This was almost I'm
just gonna be part one and part two and starting
(07:01):
to get to gather the stuff for the news I started.
You know, we don't know, at least I don't know
much about senators from different states. And yeah, I understand
that you know John Dune, you know from South Dakota,
is going to be the next majority leader and going, Okay,
that's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Or two other guys. I didn't realize that two of
the other guys.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Had sponsored anti gun votes and one is a co
sponsor of the bipartisans state. I'm going, what the you know?
And these were ones that were going to be Senate
majority leaders, but really they pick they picked Senator John
Boom And let me tell you, guys, this is I
got goosebumps. This is okay. He's one of the has
one of the strongest records of bucking gun control majors
(07:43):
up anybody in the House or Senate. He it's just
it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
He is.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He hadn't supported any gun restrictions since entering the office,
but he has assigned several bills seeking to expand our
lawful access to firearms and gun carry. I mean, so
he's the leader of the Senate, which we control. But
his quote was that that he has on his website.
I strongly support the Second Amendment, which protects the right
of the people to keep in bare arms. While others
(08:11):
may disagree, I firmly believe the plane language of the
Second Amendment guarantees thedividual right of law abiding citizens to
own firearms. So his impact, they're saying, the likelihood of
his impact on new federal gun legislation could really stand
for decades. If we get some of these new laws
(08:31):
that we would like to get in the place, that
would really help us. They just said, the resistance he's
going to protect against, the resist resistance to gun restrictions.
As I said, the impact of the overall direction of
his caucus in the coming years could really diminish the
odds of new gun control legislation going through. And I
(08:55):
was very shocked that these other two that were up
for consideration had any doing with the Bipartisan Safety Act,
where he stood up and said, no, Mitch McConnell, I'm
not going along with you. It's a bad thing, and
it is.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He has voted against universal background check proposals and bands
on the sales of ars and magazines, anything that holds
more than ten rounds. He's been strongly against it. His
quote was, ars are a sporting rifle. There's something a
lot of people use for the purposes of going out
target shooting, and in my state they use them on
prarie dogs and other types of arments. And he said
(09:29):
so I think they're legitimate reasons why people would want
to have them. And I think the challenge that you
have is the fact that there are literally millions of
these and it's now well over a twenty eight point
one million just in ars alone in the nation. So
he said, but the big focus should be trying to
keep people who are kind of deranged, keep them out
(09:51):
of their hands.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So he said, those should be the issues. So this
is what he's done.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He's opposed reforms, but he's backing top probablyorities are the
gun rights movement in the firearms industry. Over the years,
he's really been a proponent of concealed carry, reciprocity state
interstate gun sales. He voted for the Protection of Lawful
Commerce and Arms Act. He actually was one of the
forces to force.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Washington, d c. To issue concealed carry permits. He pushed
for that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He pushed for allowing national parks to have loaded people
can have loaded firearms in national parks. I repeatedly voted
tell me when to stop, because I got two pages
of what he's done. I mean, they're all really, really important.
He's repeatedly voted to force states to recognize other concealed
carry permits and even sponsored a two thousand and nine
effort they got fifty eight votes in Congress to do this.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He introduced a bill to bar the.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Irs this is just in twenty three to bar the
irs from using the merchant category coach that are tied
to gun retailers on the basis of investigating those businesses.
And of September twenty three, he introduced a build to
protect a federal funding for hunting and archery programs and
in the schools. UH and introduced to bill and twenty
four that would allow licensed dealers to sell handguns across
(11:06):
state lines.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I mean, this is this is this guy his just incredible.
And the n RA gave a Thune a plus rating
in the past, and so as the NSFFS gave him
this out the highest rating that you can have. And
he's going to be the guy leading what's going to
be going forward. And I just like I said, I'm
(11:28):
that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I mean, that's that's good. And we need to now
that we have the power, we need to get in
there and start whittling down, uh, keeping guns out of
the hands of the mentally ill, being serious about keeping
him out of Fellon's hands. Now go and and force
some of these laws, and and really.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And that's where the money should be going.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
It should be absolutely and then yeah, definitely, that's good,
really exciting.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, that's good news.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, let's jump to a break and we get on
the other side. We have more news to get to
and also going to tease some black f alright, they
talk about state sale that came in the door, and
much much more wrong talking about broadcasting live from the
studios of l EPD Farms and Range. We'll be back
right after the break, cee JC. The young people don't
know that he had more than one song. Yeah he did.
(12:16):
He wasn't a one hit wonder kids. Some of us
grew up with them and could name many many songs.
I think we saw him in concert probably five six,
seven times.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Where you're drinking red red wine when you were watching him.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Now, I was too young. Welcome back to on Target.
I'm your hysteric joined today in the LPD studios. I
got JC to my left. We have the Secretary of
State coming out and actually, JC, this is late breaking news.
This has just happened. Over the commercial break. He is
no longer We're going to be able to call in
a secretary estate Frank Lrose is in the house. In
(12:52):
the house, yes, so we're going to be coming up
with him here shortly, probably after he's done shopping. Okay,
So all right, so JC, we got before we get
to another piece of news, we got Black Friday coming
along the way here just in a couple of weeks.
I can't believe how quick that is. I wanted to
tease a couple of things. Next week we're really going
to talk about it. But we started to go through
the list. Literally, there's ars that are going to be
(13:13):
four ninety nine that are reputable ars they're going to
be selling on Black Friday. There's gonna be some members
only AMO specials. There is we're still bringing back and
I don't know how many years ago we've done this.
Free guns I mean, jac I meaning who is given
away free guns for Black Friday. I don't know other
than l EPD. So you sign up for a membership.
(13:36):
We're still working out the details on that, but there'll
be some firearms there to give away and so much more.
It actually is the first time the sale we're going
to have spans many manufacturers. I mean I saw on
the list. Guns from FN Smith, Taurus, Ruger, Celtech, Desert Eagles,
(13:56):
and of course Ars Brownings all on sale, so it
would be good. I'm excited, Yes, I mean, so that's
coming up and a couple of weeks talk about that
more and what else the estate sale. I know we
touched on it at the top of the hour, Casey,
but this one coming in, Well, you know what, I
have one right here, John, This one happens to be
one you know what. And this may stay under the
(14:18):
desk here John, until next week because next week is
what do I want for Christmas? Whan I'll tell you
what this one range here? You know, I mean, when
have you ever seen a revolver like that? John?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
This is really, you know, unusual, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So, John. This is what a six inch sparrow Smith
and Wesson three fifty seven, but the motto is three
eighty six.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Three eighty six, which honestly, I wasn't you know, familiar
with this lightweight version. This is like light as a feather,
so it's obviously has an aluminum frame the barrel of course,
and steel.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'm staying with steel. I'm mounted in there.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But this is I.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Mean for Carrie it's a three fifty seven, so it's
gonna have so some recoil. But uh, I mean it
like it's neat. I we've never seen one. No, it's
it's really really unusual. So it's even a seven shot.
So uh uh but I mean you told me about that.
I'm going wait a minute. It kind of reminds me
as I mentioned a Ruger had a super lightweight U
(15:20):
thirty eight. They have this has got that same you know, lightweight,
but the grips feel great. I mean just I'm very
impressed with this. So yeah, just a side white outline.
Uh just you know.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
That should be out for sale this week.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
If it's not on you just don't see those I
haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Me neither me neither. So just a couple of things.
There was much much more in this states. Definitely worth
while stopping by checking them out.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That's my Christmas list is probably laying on the tables, yes.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I know, or maybe Devin's watchon. What are the kind
of news you got there?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Jac Oh, well, this was a new story. But just
to let you know, you know, Marino should be very
happy to hear this. But the Gun Test magazine Joseph.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Reflexes there pistol. Really that just I just saw the
real we sold. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Wow, Yeah, they really liked the accuracy and the whole deal.
So that was I thought that you get a kick
out of that too. Uh, here's some things are going well.
They were a little bit surprised that because the election,
no one knew what the outcome was going to be,
the gun sales didn't go up and up. Matter of fact,
October saw a five percent decline in the background checks
(16:31):
and I'm going, oh, I decline, that's really horrible.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But they still sold.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Over one point three million of firearms, and uh it
would decline from a year ago where they sold one
point three seven So they still sold over one point
three million.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
That is the.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Sixty third month in a row that over a million firearms.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Have been sold.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's that and you know, by all accounts the gun
owners got out and vote it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Well, I'll tell you, I mean, if you just odd
two years, the last the last couple of months, actually
three million have been sold in a couple of months.
So h As a matter of fact, the sales were
down compared to last year, but they were still higher
than they were in twenty twenty two. So I mean,
I'm hats off to everyone that's that's a lot a
lot of new gun owners. Uh and they should be
(17:21):
voters too, I'm hoping. So this is this is really important.
So that's pretty cool. We had a a major, major
ruling that came out. What the funny is this is
part two, but Illinois, it still shocks me that I
stay can say Nope, you can't own you can't possess
any ars, any ar style.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
They totally banned it or the magazines that go with it.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So if you just had I don't have the gun bug,
I'm sorry, they're banned. You can't you can't have that.
And uh so when this came up for a law,
and it was it was signed, uh called the Protect
Illinois Community Act. But anyway, so when the governor signed
that law and I keep things safe, you can't even
own these in the entire state. Well, it of course
(18:10):
went up to the court system and way back when
about a year and a half ago, Judge Stephen McGlenn
of the Southern District of Illinois ruled safety you can't
do this.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
They ruled it was unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well then you know, the governor, Hey, we're going to
peel this up when they went to the Seventh Circuit
Court and they said, oh no, no, they're like really
like weapons of war. They had a female pointed by
Obama and said, oh no.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That I can't even look at the difference. It doesn't
he can't even see what the difference looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So it must be bad. You must not be able
to own it. And so they upheld the band. Well,
then it got appealed to the Supreme Court, and the
Supreme Court said, you know, it's already been looked at,
it's already been decided.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
We have all these other decisions.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We have Heller, you know, we have Bruin, and you know,
so you know it needs to go back. And they've
revisited to Judge Stephen McGlenn again, and so this time
he just basically said that the state may not deprive
law abiding citizens of their guaranteed right to self defense
(19:11):
as a means of offense. So they were, hey, we're
gonnai our offenses, taking your guns away. So he issued
a permanent injunction against the law. And this just happened
on Friday. So he issued a permanent injunction against the law,
calling it an unconstitutional a front of the Second Amendment
and it must be enjoined. And this was about a
year and a half, as I mentioned, after blocking it
(19:33):
the first time. So the court holds that the provisions
that criminalized the knowing possession of specific semi automatic rifles, shotguns, magazines,
and attachments are unconstitutional. One of the Second Amendment of
the United States is applied to the States by the
Fourteenth Amendment. He wrote, Therefore, the plaintiff's request for a
(19:56):
permanent injunction is granted. So he gave a permit in adjunction
against it. But he went further and said he also
found that the state's registration requirement of those guns ran
a foul of the federal gun rights protection as the
prohibition of firearms is unconstitutional, so is the registration scheme
for assault weapons, attachments, large capacity magazines.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And God bless.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Him, healed forty five back then was the one who
appointed McGlenn as a judge. So that was good, and
there's much to go on, but I have to tell
you this. So when it went to Supreme Court, this
is the seventh Circuit court that said, no, now it's
okay to have it. We need to ban these things
for the whole entire state. So who wrote back, but
(20:44):
in a statement attached to the Supreme Courts noticed that
it had a decline to hear this case. Judge Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Attacked the Seventh Circuit Court paneled decision and urged the
court to take it up again if it came back
after a final judgment. But what he said was incredible,
he said. He called the Seventh Circuit Court decision to
exclude ar from the list of protected arms contrived and
unmoored from both text and history, even on its own terms.
(21:13):
The Seventh Circuits application of its definition nonsensical.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
And then he said, this is a quote.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's difficult to see how the Seventh Circuit could have
concluded the most widely owned semi automatic rifles in America
are not arms protected by the Second Amendment, he.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Wrote, And if the Seventh Circuit ultimately.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Allows Illinois to be in America's most common civilian rifle,
we can and should review that decision once the case
reaches a final judgment.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
The Courts.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
This court must not permit the Seventh Circuit to relegate
the Second Amendment to a second class right.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So I would yeah, So I mean, is Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So now it's going to be up to the Seventh
Circuit to say, yeah, you want to try this again.
Uh you know, so.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I wish these I wish these states like Illinois would
would sit down and say, Okay, if they're serious about
helping gun violence and helping elimity gun vines on the streets,
look okay, they've gotten spanked enough. Let's sit down and
talk and see what we can do to effect change,
you know, really prosecute the criminals who are the felons
who continue to have the gun. I mean, this week
(22:23):
in Columbus, there was a couple uh, felons committing crimes
that came back and you know, oh yeah, they weren't
allowed to have a gun, but what do they do
They had a gun out there and stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
So when the juveniles is just out of control with them,
So we need to to do that.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Well, Jay, see that is some good news. You can
come back anytime with news like that. Very very very so.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
There's also been a call right away to have Trump
dismantle Biden's White House gun office. Uh so uh uh yeah,
so that you know, hopefully, hopefully when it comes in,
he'll just wipe out all those things.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So JC, let's go to the bottom of the hour
news and we come back on the other side. We
have Secretary of State Frank Lrose with us and much
much more wrong tal get broadcasting live from the studios
of LPD Fires and Range. We'll be back after the break.
Welcome back to on Target. I'm your host, Eric, joined
to you in the LPD studios that got JC to

with Live Rady you get programming changes sometimes and stuff.
(23:17):

We're supposed to have Secretary of State Frank Larrose calling
in to talk about the election and you know all
that the stuff he talked.

we talked about.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I mean, I've been looking for that ar for a while.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm like, I'm in your corner. You just you just
oversaw a beautiful elect I think you need to reward yourself.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, well, and thank you, but the credit goes to
thirty five thousand election officials at eighty eight county boards
of elections. Ohio once again ran a really smooth election
where it was easy to vote and it was hard
to cheat. And you know, the left constantly saying, I'm
trying to suppress the vote. If that's my objective, I'm
really bad at it. Because we had a near record turnout.
A lot of people showed up to vote, They voted
(24:14):
for conservative candidates by and large, and everybody in Ohio
knew that it was an honest process.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
How was the early voting.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Over two point six million people participated in early voting,
and it was early voting by mail and early voting
in person. It went really smoothly. And here's the other thing.
We went into election day with Republicans out voting Democrats
by over a quarter million, over two hundred and sixty thousand.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
We seen that before.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Really in the old days, the Republican candidates would feel
pretty good if they were only down by a couple
hundred thousand. In this case, we went into election day
up by a couple hundred thousand. In early voting, and
that just continued with the big turnout on election day,
and as you saw, it was really a sweep throughout Ohio.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Does that you know? I always look at early voting
and I think, are you just taking from the voter
who would have gone election anyways? Is is there something
eat to that? Or I did read something that said
something to the fact that of you know, of the
one hundred percent of the people who are have the
intentions of voting on election day, only ninety percent make
it for one reason. The other they get simps, right,
(25:14):
so if.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Ours breakdown, tires go flat, kids get sick, and so
if you've already got your mind made up, you might
as well go ahead and vote early. The other thing
about it is it's good for the candidates because once
somebody has already voted, they're going to stop sending you mailing,
sending you text messages. They know who they still need
to contact based on who hasn't already voted in early voting.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I never thought of that. That's very efficient.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, absolutely, So that's great. So we I mean, we
really appreciate I mean what we were smiling ear to
ear on election just because I mean not I mean,
obviously because of the results, but because of how we
stood up versus other states, and I would just we
were so proud that, you know, how efficient and how
well that that.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Ohio is planning in advance.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean, you know the old saying in the military,
you sweat and training so you don't bleed in battle. Well,
we did our sweat and training. Over the last year.
We had a thing that we call the Ready for
November Task Force, which is appropriately named to make sure
we're ready for November. And it was thinking through all
the things that could go wrong on election because it's
a no fail mission. You have from six thirty am
till seven thirty pm, millions of people have to vote,
(26:15):
and then we have to count those results and report
them on election night hint, hint, Arizona, Pennsylvania, others. But
we do that in Ohio. And it's because we prepared
in advance. And again the dedication of our thirty five
thousand bipartisan elections officials. Yes, Democrats and Republicans working together
make this happen.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That's how it should be. So it should be. So
you've been on vacation for the last two weeks, then right,
not at all that works.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Honestly, people don't realize, but a couple weeks after the
election are just as busy for us. We're doing the
final canvas. Of course, they're resolving those provisional ballots. We're
getting ready to do the post election audit, which we
do for every election, not just presidentials, and that means
we count the dead tree wet ink paper and compare
it to the electronic result. It's a hand count of
those paper ballots to make sure that it's side by
(27:00):
so we don't just have electronic voting. Electronic results give
us those the quick tally on election night, but we
also have paper ballots and the two have to reconcile
side by side, and so we routinely have had an
accuracy rate above ninety nine point nine percent. I anticipate
we're going to have that again, and then we're going
to have that final certified result here that's due November twentieth.
Every Board of Elections has to report.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That to us.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
And by the way, after that, I run the Electoral College.
We're going to be doing that at the Ohio State
House in December really like thirty days. I bang the
gavel and with the electors make their choice, and they're
going to be Ohio Republican electors casting their electoral votes
for Donald Trump and Jadvance. And so then we certify
that to the US Congress and that's how the new
(27:42):
president gets sworn in.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, that's a detail that I think a lot of us,
including me, I didn't know about.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So that's great. I'm happy. How many states did you got?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I understand that our process was so good that you
were actually were taken around by the chair of the Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
So there's a guy named Michael wat who was picked
by President Trump to be the RNC chairman, and he
has made election integrity a top priority. And this is
a good thing because in twenty twenty in some ways
the party wasn't on mission like they should have been.
But in twenty twenty four they were proactive about this,
fighting these activist lawsuits.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
I got sued a bunch of times.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
In September or October, believe it or not, the ACLU
of all People sued me saying that we should allow
a ID card that says non citizen on it. They
literally said, if somebody walks in and gives me an
ID card that says non citizen, we should accept that.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Of course, we fought that. We won it in court.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
But the RNC was really active on this, and Mike Wadley,
the RNC chairman, had me traveling to other states. We
went to Michigan and Georgia and others as kind of
an example of look, guys, this is how you should
do it.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Follow Ohio's example.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Again, it gives me great pride, but I just have
the honor of leading the best team of elections officials
in the country.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah that's well all right, yeah club.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gec you. But there's a map that you,
you and I have been talking about this week. And
I don't know if it's just one of these anecdotal things.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You know, newsmax and yeah, one of my relatives sent
that to me, just going, hey, look at this, and
I thought, oh, and it had to do with the
number states that were accepting voters with no idea at all,
and then some didn't have a picture ID and and
when I saw that, of course it listed all the
(29:26):
red states and it was all kind of the blue
wall states that seemed to be like that. I didn't
know how accurate it was. I mean, it was newsmas.
They made a big deal about it and put the
map out there. But I thought that you may have
some input on that. But I still can't believe that.
I mean, you have to be a citizen to vote.
Why would you want people from other countries to vote.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
For your sins.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
That's what that Matt shows is there is an incredible
correlation between states that just take your word for it
and states that voted for Kava Harris. If you look
at the Red states, the Trump states, they're buying large
states that require photo I'd like, oh high does in
other states. And so again, does it mean that it
was the reason why she won in those states? Not necessarily,
but again common sense conservative states that supported President Trump
(30:09):
also have the good sense to check IDs when people
come to bout and let's put something out there. It
is not discriminatory racist, that's crazy. Of course, you should
show your idea, improve your identity when you come to it,
and in Ohio, if you can't afford one, we'll give
you a free ID. There's no good reason not to
do it.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Is there any chance of a national lossing.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You need to have done If you're going to vote
for the president of United States, you need to be
a US citizen attention.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yeah, and so listen.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
I plan on working with President Trump and with the
Republican majority in the House and the Senate on a
few pieces of legislation that they're working on. One has
been called the ACE Act. One is called the Save Act.
And what these do is encourage states to do the
right thing. You don't want the federal government running elections, right,
this is the Campbell's nose under the tent. You don't
want to put the federal government in charge. You want
(30:57):
to let the states continue to run elections. But you
want to do is encourage them to follow best practice,
like what we do in Ohio monthly we take dead
people off the voter rolls. Why the heck are other
states not doing that? Checking IDs, even having bipartisanship in
your elections administration. We do that in Ohio, just always have.
There are some states where it is a partisan office.
The county clerk runs elections, and so if the county
(31:19):
clerk's a Democrat, everybody in the election office is too.
Likewise with the Republican those defy common sense. And so
these are things that Ohio's done for a long time.
Florida is another great example. It's no surprise that the
two states that are really good at this or Ohio
and Florida. We've been in the national spotlight for twenty years, right,
so other states, it's time that they now follow our example.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
What what is I hate to stay what is wrong
with but what is wrong with the states like Arizona,
these ones that have took so long for stuff to
trickle in? I mean, is it a processing issue? And
what is that?
Speaker 6 (31:52):
First of all, the state of Arizona elected the Maricopa
County Elections director to be their new Secretary of State.
So that does just something. But they fail to do
the work ahead of time. So what they do in
Arizona is they don't even start cutting open envelopes until
election day. We process those as they're coming in. So
imagine October fifteenth, sixteen seventeenth, you mail in your absty ballot.
(32:13):
We get it a Republican and a Democrat. Cut it open,
check the signature, date of birth, last four of the
social driver's license number. We flatten it out, and that
actually is important, to take the folds out of it.
They flatten those things out, and then at seven thirty
on election night, exactly seven thirty we start counting those.
So by eight pm, eight thirty pm, we're already reporting
those absentee votes, those early votes, because they're already at
(32:35):
the Board of Elections out in Arizona. They're just starting
to cut open envelopes. They have a vault the size
of your store here stacked Florida ceiling with unopened envelopes.
It's going to take them days just to cut them
all open. It's it's crazy and they should fix it.
But that's the way they do it.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Wow, that seems crazy. Yeah, that seems crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I still just am stuck on the fact that they
can't they be not controlling elections.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Just like, Okay, you have to.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Present something that says your process includes identification as a
citizen in the United States.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I'm just not sure why you would argue against it.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
That's what I mean, unless you're up to no good.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, that's it. I mean, you hate to say that,
you hate to have that allegation, but it stands.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
He's the saying people that said that non citizens should
be counted in the census. This was in front of
the US Senate a year ago, and Shared Brown voted
no on a simple bill that would have said only
citizens should be counted in the census for assigning congressional districts.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
For example, Cheryl Brown, he was the senator, right, it
needs to be the Senator of.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Has to be the Secretary of State forever.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Ago.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Yeah, he's on his way out, Siinar shared, Syonar shared.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
That's right, that's right. You waited on.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
And by the way, Bernie is going to do a
tremendous job. And I was out proud to be out
on the campaign trail with the with Bernie ran over
the last couple of weeks. And he's going to do
a great job for us in the US Senate. And
he's going to fire Chuck Schumer in just a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yes, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome. So the most important question
I had written down. I wrote these questions down ahead
of time. Most important question, when are we gonna shoot?
Speaker 7 (34:08):
Oh? Good, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I mean we have all the decision makers in the audience.
I mean I've got.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Yeah, maybe a little twenty two for the little one.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah of course. Yeah, so I have a new twenty
two I just bought too, So maybe you know.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
This is put up on their back.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, that's all right, shoot yeah, so hey, in all
honesty though in sincerity, thank you so much. Thank you
so much for jumping on with us and helping answer
questions along the way and always being there. And you know,
we hope everything goes well for here going forward.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
And honestly, if you're interested in the process, come and
watch the post election audit. If you are somebody who
is an election integrity enthusiast, every county Board of Elections
over the next couple of weeks will be doing that
post election audit. It's fully transparent, open to the public.
It's pretty boring, honestly, but come in, come in and
watch the process and learn about it. And you know,
we've got another important election to run in May. Like
(35:00):
no rest for the weary.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wow wow, great that is Secretary State Frankler Rose. Always
good to see you, always good to see the family.
Thank you so much. And uh, we'll be up on
the range soon, guys. We come back from the break,
we're gonna get to a good friend of ours, Frankler Road.
There the crowd appreciate aiding mister Philla Rose, who's covered
three eye holsters, is coming out of that show. When
(35:23):
we come back from the break. We're on Target broadcasting
live from the studios of l EPD Farms. Arrange. We'll
be back right to the break. Thank goodness. He knows
how to run an election, right, but I'm not sure
about the weather side of things.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
You had to do a recount on some of those words.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I know, and I wrote it. I wrote it out
for him. I mean, what more welcome back, A good scene, Yeah,
good scene, yep, really.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Good sit Yeah, great family, we'll see guys.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Welcome back on Target. I even knows Eric join today
with JC. He's sitting here to our side, you know, Jesse.
When I was getting ready for the show today, I looked,
and you know, we have we carry a lot of products.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We have a lot of partnerships with manufacturers and with
suppliers along the way. And there's some of those partnerships
or friendships. But our next guest is truly one of
those that we bonded with a few years ago under
horrible circumstances when the officers of Westerville we were shot
and killed. Yep, me too, me as well. And Scott
(36:23):
Frank of three Eye Holsters reached out. Didn't know him,
he didn't know us, but we had the same bond,
and that is I mean, we had to do something.
We felt like we needed to do something, and we
put on a fundraiser for the families and stuff. And
ever since then we've had that bond. And so I
am so thrilled to have on the show now our
good friend mister Scott Frank and then also for the
(36:44):
first time in a couple of years, announced he's going
to be back next Thursday and Friday. Right here in
this store making custom holsters. How are you doing, sir?
Speaker 8 (36:53):
I'm doing all of America?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Are you good? Did I build you up enough?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
It's just like you wrote you didn't like, Uh, you know,
I hope I can.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
I can hold up to that standard. And I actually
you've got to days wrong there.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
It's actually Friday, Saturday, Friday, Saturday, Friday, Saturay.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Gee, what did I say? Thursday Friday.
Speaker 8 (37:10):
Yeah, you know, you and me, we've always had that
that uh issue with with getting these days right, I think.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
So, you know what, that's why we have wives. They
keep us in line there. Actually we're we're just the
pretty faces.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Up front, right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
So you know we really we've we've had man we've
had a long standing relationship. We are so so excited
to have you back here because it's been a while
since you've been actually back here. You know. It might
even predate COVID, but we.
Speaker 8 (37:43):
Actually shut it down about COVID, uh because well, nobody'd
have us. And uh, we rebuilt. We got brand new equipment,
brand new everything, got all the bugs worked out where
they come up there in rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
So tell us something about your holstres. I mean when
I think of three I hold, what really comes to
mind is the customization that you guys have and and
I joked at the beginning of the Hour of if
you have a you know, a rangefinder and a light
and an optic, they can make a holster. But it's true.
I mean I've seen you put together holsters for stuff
and I'm like, wow, and it's just not you know,
(38:17):
any holster. I mean, it has retention. I mean it
is good quality, uh product.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Our our general role of thumb is if it'll fit
in our press, we can we can we can holster it.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Uh, life lifetime guarantee on everything we do as usual
and uh, you know, we we build it to the
customer's preference. So it's not what we want to build
for you, it's what you want, it's what you need.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
So will you be bringing you have different patterns, right,
they can choose prolutely.
Speaker 8 (38:50):
I'm going to be bringing up I think we've got
about sixty sixty different patterns.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
That's huge from right right now, wow wow, wow wow, and.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
Other other types of finishes on them.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
So what is your what's your thoughts do you think
people will be able to pick up the holsters if
they ordered on Friday, pick them up on Saturday here?
Or what's the turnaround when you make a holster?
Speaker 8 (39:16):
So it depends on depends on the firearms. So if
we're if we're talking about something, I've got a mold
for half hour, forty five minutes. We've got about one
hundred and twenty different molds to choose from. If it's
if it's a gun that we don't have a mold for,
which is what we obviously specialize in, because there's a
lot of guns out there, people don't make holsters for
(39:39):
you bring those in it's about an hour and a
half to two hours, and that depends on of course,
you know how many people have got in front of you.
But once I get started on at about an hour
hour and a half on those when it comes to
light bearing, you know those can vary dramatically. So nice
shease we knock those out real quick.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Wow. And you know, and really that's where you guys,
when I think of some of the holstters I've seen
you guys put out there, that's where you guys shine.
I mean right now, we struggle sometimes when someone has
a carry holster with a light and you know they
have an optic on it, and that's just some of
those get so specific. You're not going to really find
something off the shelf and you have to go to
(40:21):
a custom holster. And people are so reluctant sometimes just
blindly order from the website. You know, from a website
out there, you don't know what it looks like till
it comes in. But with you guys here in person,
I mean you can touch and feel it, you have
an idea what it is, and I mean it really
lends itself to being a great experience.
Speaker 8 (40:41):
Well, we always joke, you know, our holsters are addictive.
Once you've got one, you're going to have a bunch
of them. And I think you're a victim of that.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
I do have that complaint. I open up the door
this morning to put on my gun, which is in
your holster, and there were seven other three I holster's
in that same drawer. I think there's some for guns
I don't even have anymore.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But and it's if you ever change something like a
light or something like that, all of a sudden, wow,
this doesn't fit anymore. You put an optic on a
on a gun that said, hey, you know, but wait
a minute, my holster. No, now it doesn't work. So
that's why we just had it.
Speaker 8 (41:20):
We just had a customer in this morning that had
a light I've never heard of. Of course, he couldn't
find a holster for it. We're we'll have him one
here in a couple of days.
Speaker 7 (41:30):
So wow, it's.
Speaker 8 (41:31):
Not not a big deal. He dropped off his light,
and uh, he'll be he'll be in business in new time.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Scout, what do you what is just? I mean, you
guys are a good indicator of what's popular out there? Way,
what do you do? You have a feel on what
your most popular firearm that you make a holster for.
Speaker 8 (41:47):
Honestly, I can't keep up with the sig models you know,
the sigmacros a real big right now. Uh. Funny enough,
we're seeing a lot of easy nines in the okay now,
which is which is kind of funny. It's kind of
come full circle. But seems like the sig the SIG
(42:08):
models are are where it's at right now.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Good good, good, good. Well. We are so looking forward
to seeing you next Friday and next Saturday, right here
in person and both days.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
And I heard a rumor you might even jump on
the radio show next week. I'm just if you dare, if.
Speaker 8 (42:28):
I believe I'm gonna talk to Tory, maybe bring Corey up.
Have have a couple of us up there building for you.
That'll speed up, that'll speed up league times as we
go through the day.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
So that's great, that's great. Hey, one last question. I
was just thinking about this when I was putting the
show together. You still have friends with Twista?
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (42:45):
Absolutely, matter of fact. I got to shoot with him
this past spring, and then we're gonna I believe we're
gonna see him in Indianapolis here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Wow, what to get him back on the show. That's
been a while. He's phenomenal with me, yeah he is.
Is he still went to the guns in Chicago?
Speaker 8 (43:02):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Yeah, perfect, well, good good, thanks for jumping on with
us today. We are excited to see you in person
next Friday and Saturday right here at L E.
Speaker 8 (43:12):
P D or just as excited. We'll see them all.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Right, have a good weekend. As mister Scott Frank, owner
of three I Holsters, we're super excited. That was We've
always had good luck and it's been a while since
they've done this in person. How are you bring your
gun in and they make the why you wait?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yeah, I got a I got a site on my
block nineteen of all things that's dragging on the front.
So I'm either shaving picking shaving with plastic out of
the back of it or leather or whatever I have.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Doesn't seem to so I'm going to have him fix something.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Up for me. Perfect, perfect, perfect, all right? What else
we got jc H next week? The big show? We
got oh yeah, you got about it for one of them?
Speaker 3 (43:51):
We have a minute, all right.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
If you are a collector.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Or an accumulator as I am, we have some just
really unusual ones that just came in in the estate sale.
We used to sell a lot of these back in
the day to police officers who are looking for a backup.
Now they're ubiquitous everywhere, but back then, this is a
high standard twenty two magnum of double barrel derringer with
the rotating firing pins, so there's no hammer on it.
(44:16):
You just pull, you pull again. But yeah, it's really
it's stainless steel. It's made by high standard. This is
one of my favorites. I gotta talk about this and
I probably can't afford it, but oh, this is a
high standard supermatic trophy which was fluted barrel six and
this is one of the premier target guns of its day,
and it became so expensive to make that you know,
(44:38):
they they don't make high standards anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
This just came in. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
And then here for collectors, this is an AMT from
back in the seventh an ant but it's there automatic two,
which is the twenty two rim fire magnum. And if
you're a collector, sharp and it's really really sharp.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Time talk about now, but you would know a m T.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
There you go, stop being they're gonna be ready for
sale this week. Guys, Thanks for spending the last hour
