  Speaker 4: I won't be on that list, just so you know.
• 0:32

• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Eight two one nine and eighty six eight two one
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: w t V and is the number PT you're on
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: six ten double TV in Hi.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, So I agree with everything you're saying, But a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: couple of your callers it said some things that confused me.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: The one said that he's a canciri excuse me, a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: concealed carry permit holder, but he has an issue with
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: driving through a gun pre school zone. And another one,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I believe he just said that he doesn't Uh, he refuses,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: or he can't, or he doesn't think that he can
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: go into another church with his gun. I mean, have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: they never heard of the following that I'd rather be
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: judged by twelve than carried by six? Yeah, who cares
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: if you go into a as long as nobody sees
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the gun. I mean, I want to have a gun
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: with me at all times, especially in a place like
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a school zone where something, you know, some crazy teenager
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: might do something, and I'm gonna I'm gonna protect myself
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: regardless of what the what the what the law?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Is My standard reply to that, Pete when people bring
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff is it's called concealed Carrie for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a reason. Don't broadcast it, don't show it off. But
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not encouraging anybody to break
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: any laws. I'm just saying, if nobody sees it, who's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gonna call in? I mean, that's what it comes down to.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And if you need it, it's there and you'll be
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: glad you had.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: It, right.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, as we all know, the only thing that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: can stop a bad guy with the gun is a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: good guy with the gun. So if I'm in a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in a gun free school zone and some wacko is
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: popping off. I'm gonna hope, excuse me if I didn't
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: have a gun, I'm gonna wish that I did have one.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna put myself in a position to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: not have one. Same thing with a church.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Just keep your keep your training up, and be not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: only confident, but competent with the weapon. That's what it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: comes down to, and those those are the two things
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for me, aside from the basics. Competent and confident. Know
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: what you're doing, know how to do it well, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: know that you can do it if you have to.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: One of the worst things in the world is you're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in a position where where that kind of protection is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: needed and you pull out a gun and then you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have the guts to pull the trigger,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you can't bring yourself to do it. Confidence is another
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: part of this that I think is often negated. People
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: don't talk about it. It's it's great if you've had
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the training, but if it comes to as ross.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Perro said, lant's get down to brass tacks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: If you can't pull the trigger when you need to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: pull the trigger, you don't need to have a trigger.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. A two one ninety
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: eight six A two one WTV And oh, I bet
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you I know who this is. Let me see can
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I push that?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: There we go? Eric, You're on six NU WTV.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: And my friends were calling me saying, I need to save.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: God knew what was you save me? Somebody saved me? Yeah?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: For what.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Chuck's talking about carrying guns on airplanes or something. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: don't know, So I thought i'd call in and help
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: you out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just think that you know, as
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I said, But Senator you said, is pushing here and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: or doorsing or whatever. This idea that you, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: police officers would be allowed to carry in school zones, uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: concealed carrying school zones and so.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Forth, that's that's great. I got no problem with it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But I think as as a law abiding American citizen,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: as long as I'm I'm vetted and I've got my permis,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there's no reason I should not be able to carry
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: my weapon driving through the school zone as well.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Chuck, You're one.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Hundred percent right. It's a different time now, and if
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: we well we're facing out there, we all are. I mean,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: we need to protect ourselves. The government keeping these people
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: behind bars isn't happening, and we need to be able
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: to protect ourselves. So I agree with you one hundred percent.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: And along with that, though, we need to get serious.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: We're not serious yet on these thugs who are caught
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: with guns and continue to be led out if someone
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: does a crime with the firearm and you know they
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: hurt others or whatever the case may be. We need
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: to get serious. None of this. We're gonna let them
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: out the next day and everything. So I think it
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: goes hand in hand with that too well.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And as I was talking about members of the it's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Mom's Demand Action and Students Demand Action that met Trinity
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Episcopal Church. They are against these four House bills that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they say will allow you know, younger people to have
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: guns and make it just. The world will be a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: worse place of this stuff passes. And as I'm saying,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: their intentions may be good, but the fact of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: matter is what we need to do is throw several
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: books at the dirt balls that are breaking laws, because
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: passing new laws that will affect law abiding citizens like
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: me does nothing to make society safer. You are passing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: laws for people that don't care about your laws. Want
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to push for something, push for lock and their behinds
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: up for an extended period of time instead of coming
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: after me.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right, Chuck.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, and we've done you know, we've passed more laws,
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: but we don't enforce them. I mean time and time again.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: And this is outside of the gun world, but I
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: mean the thugs who just killed the two people out
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: of the craft this week. I mean, how many times
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: were they arrested? How many you know prior charges? Were
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: not serious about it, especially in this county. And until
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: we get serious about it, none of us are safe
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: out there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's Eric Delbert on the phone, helps to LPD Firearms
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and Range on targets. Saturdays at noon here on six
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: ten DOAUTV and I gotta let you go. What do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you have coming up this week? Anything big? Anything good?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Anything cool?
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: We actually do. We have Sheriff Baldwin sitting with us
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: the entire show on Saturday right here at the studio.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, Sheriff Dallas bald We'm got to be there. Is
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: he going to take questions because I might show up.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I think he will. I think it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: on live radio. I think he just take a couple
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: of questions.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Sweet, Okay, Well, it's be there noon Saturday, l EPD
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Firearms Range ninety nine, Bethel Road.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I'll see you Saturday. Man, all right, b safe check
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: six eight two one w TV and it's my number, Mike.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Thanks for holding you on six to ten WTVN Hey, Chuck, been.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: A while since I've talked to you. I just I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: tuned in and I heard you talking about the no
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: carrieres of small of that, and just something that I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: have stumbled across that I didn't realize was going on.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: My granddaughter plays hockey up at Chiller up at East
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and that place has gotten to be where obviously Chiller
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: doesn't wile guns, and anybody that is following their rules
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: or the law of not carrying a gun into the
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Chiller is going to lock it up while their kid
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: goes and plays a sport for an hour or more.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And it's turned the front row of that parking lot
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know the name of the road, back in
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: behind McDonald's and out there where the ice rink is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It's turned the front row of their parking lot into
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: a smash and grab shopping center. For handguns anybody that
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: you know, if you've got to pick up you can
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: you can almost be assured that somebody's going to break
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the window out. No, they're just they're they're they're going
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: through Easton breaking windows.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's why those the hotels up there
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: by Easton were getting you know, the parking lots there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And I think for the same reason, people who are
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: traveling across the country or whatever stopped at a hotel.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: There's a chance they've got a weapon with them and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and and that's why those cars were getting broken into,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: because they're not going to be here to fillow up
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: on a police report or anything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Grab it and take off.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: In fact, the hotel you're talking about has got their
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: own fence and a rental fence around the parking garage
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: of it. If it's the one I'm thinking of just
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: in between stoles the road. Yeah, I didn't think about that,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it's just every time you go in. It's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: why you almost know of somebody that has had a
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: window knocked it out. That my son and granddaughter both
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: play occasionally there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That's a good point when you say it can't come inside,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it must be left outside. And if it's left outside,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: then somebody knows they can get to it. That's another
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: excellent point. Frank, you are on the Legacy Retirement Group
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: dot com phone line.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Tight.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chuck, I got an interesting question involving all this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Has anybody read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Okay,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Because there's all kinds of rights that are granted by
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: God Almighty to us, not by government. And if you
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: want to try and change any of those, you have
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: to have an amendment, and you have to have two
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: thirds of the states ratify any change. And I got
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: this book called the Citizen's Rule Book or Handbook, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: it's got a bunch of great information in there. And
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: what I want to know is is how can they
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: legislate away the First Amendment or put restrictions on Okay, well,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: you can't talk about these people. You can't talk about
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: that election or.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is. Okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: You first, you got a first Amendment, right, and the
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: same thing with you guys are talking about guns. Okay,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: second Amendment? How can you put restrictions on a God
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: given right of self defense without two thirds of the
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: states changing something it says shall not be infringed? Right now,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: you could go to the Fourth Amendment illegal search and seizure.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, you could go all the way down the list.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: You know, there's numerated rights, okay, the government rights. There's
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: only certain things that are allowed to do. Anything that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: not spelled out in that Constitution and Bill of Rights,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: they're not allowed to do.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The thing that's changed.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The thing that's changed, Franco is not not the words
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on the paper, but the interpretation of the courts over
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the time, they continue to interpret things different ways.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Well, but the thing is okay, back in the founders
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: they said, when you look in the future at this
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: and you try to interpret it, you just use the
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: plain basic meaning that we wrote this with. Okay, shall
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: not be infringed. You've got the right to free speech,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: you know the tenth Amendment where if it's not spelled
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: out for the government to do, it goes back to
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: the people to decide. And so I know it would
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: take a lot of work for everybody to go learn
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: about what what is the government allowed to do? What
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: is the you know, but if you go study that,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: you'll realize there's a bunch of stuff that has been
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: changed that it should.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Never make Yeah, you don't have to make your way
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: through the entire Constitution, Article one, section eight.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Go read it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: That kind of lays the basis for everything else you
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: need to know. There is the States. The States have
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a sovereignty. That is, it's right there, and it's in
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: black and white. It's part of our absolute founding. But
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: again the interpretation of the courts. Man, that's that is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: our that's our biggest turtle, shall not be infringed. Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know they didn't have, you know, shoulder mounted rocket
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: launchers when that was written. Do we think the guy
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: next door who's always kicking his dog should have a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: shoulder rocket loaded rocket launchers. It's the times dictate what
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the courts decide, and the courts continue to translate, you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: based on whatever is going on. Man, I'm leaving call.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I hate having to leave calls on the board. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: tried to move through them tonight. I'm sorry if I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: did not get to you. But perhaps in the near
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: future I can talk the balls and to let me
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have a couple hours to do a show like this,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: because it is definite only something that needs to be
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: talked about.
