0:27
radio program for today, The Morning Show with Preston Scott Show forty nine thirty
0:31
nine. Over there is Grant, alongside is Jared and here we are in
0:38
Studio one B with Charlie Strickland, he of the Talent Training Group and Talent
0:44
out Doors. Hello, friend, how are you? I'm doing fantastic this
0:48
morning. Feeling a little guilty about your carbon footprint? Are you been?
0:56
I watched the video I was telling you on a break. I was watched
0:59
the video this guy in the UK that was addressing the left and he was
1:04
talking about you want to change this and change So I'm just gonna assume your
1:07
position is correct and that we need to eliminate all CO two that the UK
1:11
produces. But keep in mind we only produce one point zero three percent of
1:15
all global emissions, so we're not going to have any effect on global emissions
1:19
of CO two. Global warming is not going to have be impacted. But
1:23
you don't care. You want us to do it anyway. You want us
1:26
to destroy our wall life just based on blah blah blah. And you know
1:30
so, I the way my brain works, I got I got to dickon
1:37
and looking at what's going on and wonder if the trends globally. You know,
1:42
of course, the latest information several years old now, but you know,
1:48
China's producing a third, almost a third of all global emissions as CO
1:52
two, and the United States is at fifteen percent. But we're the leading
1:56
developed country on the planet. But China's catching up. Yep, he surpassing
2:01
us. They're gonna do and they don't care. The guy running China,
2:05
you know, and the guy made a really good point. I wish I
2:07
had linked to the video. He made a really good point. As the
2:08
leader of China, his family was destroyed by the very party he rules,
2:14
and he's hanging on the power. And the only whether he hangs on the
2:16
power is to to thumb his nose at the rest of the world do all
2:21
the things that he's doing. He's doing exactly what he needs to do for
2:24
China. You know, we hate him because he's destroying our way of life
2:29
and the rest of the and putting their style it. But he's doing what
2:34
China needs him to do. He's you know, just he's torturing people and
2:38
doing terrible, terrible things by our standards, but by their standards, he's
2:43
doing a great job and he's gonna stay right there. And you know,
2:46
all we can do is label I see De Santa's got a big boost.
2:51
The liberal media has now said that he's worse than Donald Trump. He's sinister,
2:55
So maybe, oh, what's going wrong with the world? Everything is
3:02
blowing up? I mean, how far Remember how long ago was it that
3:08
toxic masculinity was the thing? But you don't hear it, right, They
3:17
changed the word and I don't know what it is now, but it's whatever,
3:22
it's it's it's anything that it was toxic masculinity. I remember getting fighting
3:27
mad at somebody, some college professor from FSU in a medical school at some
3:31
event. He was just, you know, and he looks like us.
3:36
He's you know, white dude, just but he's obviously far left. And
3:42
the university hires him to teach upcoming doctors and that his big thing was toxic
3:46
masculinity and how bad it was. Well that's what helped makes I mean,
3:51
my wife would kick me out of the house if I wasn't, you know,
3:54
if I wasn't an alpha male, So you'd kick me out. So
3:58
you didn't want some week. She didn't want some week, dude, you
4:00
know she wants somebody who stands up and as a man, you know,
4:04
you know, a manly minute, you kind of thing. You know,
4:06
how do you how do you you know you don't have to be a jerk,
4:10
and you don't. I mean, you can't be abuse if you can't
4:12
do all those things. They're a bad trends that some men exhibit. You
4:15
know those you know those are criminals and yeah, and and narcissists and things.
4:20
There's all kinds of reasons you can be bad, but that's not you
4:25
know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. But now
4:28
they find other ways to attack us. So I always find a way to
4:31
attack us. Don't have a gun because you might hurt somebody. You're dog
4:34
going right, I might excuse me, man, Please have some more water.
4:41
The Pella greeno yes, sparkling. This breeze is very nice. Good
4:46
morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Do what I
4:54
do. Subscribe to the Talent Outdoors podcast and you can listen to the show
4:58
whenever you like. You can get back shows and you'll just have a great
5:01
time listening of course it's Saturdays. You can listen to it live ten am
5:04
Eastern and now in Dothan. Yes, how about that? Huh Yeah.
5:11
If you miss it here, drive west, get in the other time zone.
5:16
If you'll drive right out of the WFLA listening radius, you'll drive right
5:21
into the other listening radius for the other network. And so so, if
5:26
you're on the road, you can listen live. If you're driving to the
5:28
west, you can hear it twice if you're going that way. And of
5:30
course you can listen live on i R Radio anytime you want. But three
5:33
hundred and something episodes. Now, I was going to ask you. You
5:36
and I started doing these segments, and then j D would come in,
5:41
and the three of us have talked for a long time. And when we
5:45
first started these personal defense segments, you got a lot of phone calls from
5:48
churches and some businesses asking about protocols and what should we do in our situation
5:57
and circumstance. I'm curious, are you getting as many calls or are you
6:01
getting different calls? Now I'm not getting as many calls. A COVID had
6:05
a lot to do with the reduction and phone calls for training consulting assessment.
6:14
It went down. I was telling you on the break. I mean,
6:15
I've got a group out of Atlanta, that nonprofit organization a statewide and we'll
6:20
be doing some virtual training because they don't have to bring all other people to
6:24
one spot to do it. And you know, it's more personal safety than
6:28
active shooter but because there people are in the field all the time. So
6:30
but it's still how to react. I mean. And the church stuff,
6:34
we were doing church consultations, church visits, you know regularly, JD or
6:42
I one was out every week doing doing one somewhere, you know. And
6:46
I guess you remember the big event we did. We had hundreds of people
6:49
at the Auto Museum. Yeah, we had a room full of people packed
6:54
to the brim with people. That wasn't an empty seat in the place.
6:57
And it's just sort of and I think a lot of it has to do
7:00
with we're getting more people bringing their groups to the range and there's more people
7:05
coming to training and doing things like that. And I think maybe you know,
7:09
there's only so many houses of worship in an area that most of those
7:13
places have established some sort of a team and they have some sort of protocol
7:16
now and that was our goal was to get the information out. So I'm
7:20
not and there are some groups going around doing training that they're getting paid for
7:27
and they're putting out a product. They're not us or anybody affiliated with us.
7:30
But there's more of it. Um you know, we like to think
7:34
we filled the need when it was needed. But now and we're still here,
7:39
we still do. We'll still do any house of I say, house
7:43
of worship over church because there are you know, different there's all kinds of
7:47
groups that may you know, we don't have a church, we have a
7:49
temple or whatever. We we will still pro bono. We will still come
7:54
talk to you um as as you know, look at your place and see
7:58
what we suggest. And that it's still out there. But as a law
8:01
enforcement professional, as a security professional, and as someone that spends a lot
8:05
of time paying attention to what's going on in the news cycle, it's changing.
8:11
It's definitely changing. How I mean, I've got stories here of you
8:16
know, You've got you've got security guards being assaulted by shoplifters and then they're
8:20
getting fired. You've got employees getting fired for trying to intervene and stop shoplifting.
8:26
How is it changing? How you advise people or is it as far
8:31
as I advise organizations or advise individuals, business owners and people that work in
8:35
a business. Well, I mean as far as employees. You know,
8:39
you protect yourself. Look at your corporate policies. Listen as like you were
8:43
talking about before I came in the Lulu anyway, Lululemon, Lululemon or Ukie
8:52
exactly. Yeah, So anyway, so their employees and I read the article
8:58
while I was sitting in the parking lineup, hold it up. I looked
9:00
at it, and yeah, they basically their their corporate policies don't intervene.
9:05
They just scan a QR code and go, hey, we had a theft,
9:09
and leave it alone and let them come in, let them do.
9:09
Say that's what's wrong with the world today is that we're just saying, y'all,
9:15
do what you want, take what you want, We're not to do
9:16
anything about it, which just leads to more and more and more, and
9:18
ultimately it leads to violence. And so if you're an employee and that's your
9:24
store policy, there's not a piece of property that your boss owns that's worth
9:28
losing your job or going to jail or getting hurt over and let them take
9:35
it. That's the that's the business. As a company owner, I think
9:39
you're stupid if that's your policy. I think you should have security cameras.
9:43
You should have if you've got a theft problem, hire some security you know,
9:48
whose job is to intervene. There's a lot of things that you can
9:50
do, um but don't you know, don't don't have your employee stand around
9:56
like a like a dummy during something like that, and certainly don't fire them
9:58
for trying to make difference. Twenty one minutes after the hour of the Morning
10:03
Show with Preston Scott, Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group and again I
10:07
get time with Charlie and j D each month, a couple of times a
10:11
month. This is your time if you want it. Eight five zero two
10:13
zero five WFLA IRA, thanks very much for calling into the program. What's
10:18
your question? What's your topic? What do you want to kick around here?
10:22
Well? I got to the first one is all day concel you'll carry
10:28
in Florida. I'm going to stop being able to carry openly if you're fishing.
10:37
No, that's not true. It didn't change any of that, None
10:41
of that came. No, you can still that part of the law that
10:46
allows you to open carry hunting, fishing, camping, or going to and
10:50
from those events or two or from a gun range is still still on the
10:54
books. Everything's the same, except that you just don't have to apply for
10:56
a permit or get training in order to carry without a permit anymore. I
11:03
got a license and I'm gonna keep renewing. I mean Georgia, So it's
11:07
different. Okay. Oh, I am a proud owner of an AAR fifteen.
11:16
Good for you, very recent now I'm trying to overcome some of them
11:24
and hails about them. Meal spec. If it's Meal Spec, that means
11:31
anything are platform will work with it. Most every AAR fifteen is in fact
11:37
mel spec because you can you can take any part off of one R fifteen
11:43
and put it on another. That's what mel spec means that it meets the
11:46
military specifications, So you can take some parts off of a military rifle and
11:50
put it on a civilian advice versa, as long as it's not the parts
11:54
that make it fully automatic. Right. Well, I own a Many fourteen
12:00
also, okay, I think older timon bar and I'm meaning fourteen full the
12:05
trigger fire released trigger fire. Oh well, I got to looking at these
12:13
binary triggers. That's what they do. Correct. Um, the uh,
12:22
you kind of got me on that one. I'll be honest with you.
12:24
There there are several different trigger designs out They are the ones that fire wants.
12:30
They're in order for it to be legal, it has to be semi
12:33
automatic. You pull the trigger each operation of the trigger. You can argue
12:39
that as you pull it that's one operation. As you release it, that's
12:41
another operation. Um. Some of that stuff is not legal in Florida,
12:46
in Georgia. These are mainly federal laws. And I really, I'm gonna
12:52
be honest with you. Stumped me on that one just a little bit because
12:54
I don't get into triggers. I'm not a trigger guy. I like just
12:58
a traditional semi auto trigger. Never have seen much value in doing all that
13:03
stuff. So, Hira, thanks very much. I appreciate your phone call.
13:07
Thanks for listening to the program. How much are guns changing? They
13:15
look different, but they're not changing much. I mean, they're our manufacturers
13:20
basically making guns that look cooler. Yeah, I mean, so what they're
13:24
doing is they're taking the same basic operating system and they're shaping everything different.
13:31
It's ergonomically different, but the basic functioning of all this stuff is the same.
13:35
I mean, the most innovative thing that came out in my recollection was
13:41
when Glock started building Striker fired systems back in the late eighties, you know,
13:46
or whenever I first saw them in the late eighties when I get in
13:50
the law enforcement. But pretty much everything is. You know, you had
13:54
your nineteen eleven style stuff, and now you've got Striker fired system You've got
13:58
double acts, double single acts. It's like the six where the first round
14:01
is a double action the second one, you know, where you can cock
14:03
the hammer or fire. I mean it's the same stuff. But as you
14:07
every time they'll come out with something and this triggers a little different, or
14:11
this safeties just got a safety here versus there. You know, Smith and
14:15
Whiston mp eass came out with that. We got a grip safety on it.
14:18
Yeah, unlike in nineteen eleven, which was designing early nineteen hundreds.
14:22
Um, you know this this thing has a hammer. This is hammer lists.
14:26
Okay, well, but it's all the same stuff. It's who can
14:30
make the coolest looking polymer? I mean, everybody's you know, a lot
14:33
of people, a lot of companies have copied a glock to the point where
14:37
you can almost change out parts on some of them. And you know,
14:41
like the gentleman will saying, you know, mill speck stuff AAR fifteens or
14:45
AAR fifteens, and they've been a R fifteens. Now some parts don't interchange
14:48
with other parts, but most of them you can take an up are off
14:50
of one, stick it on another. You know, this is this whole
14:54
pistol issue. You know, take the take the pistol. There's a pistol.
15:03
Brace off said it in another room, and all of a sudden,
15:05
it's not a pistol. It's it's not a short bare rifle per the ATF's
15:09
designation anymore. Now it's a pistol again. It's just you know, by
15:13
the way, that's on hold well in the fifth district. But I would
15:18
I would still not be snapping it on air and put posting pictures on Facebook
15:22
and mean go into the rain shooting it. Wait, it's just give it
15:26
a little bit longer. You know. The whole point with that is intent.
15:30
You know, do you have the intention you get into construction anyway,
15:33
there's a lot of discussion. We'll pick up there and go some more if
15:35
you have a question eight five zero two zero five to BFL A couple more
15:39
segments. Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training Group on the Morning Show with Preston's
15:43
Got thirty six minutes after the hour the Morning Show, Charlie Strickland of the
15:48
Talent Training Group with me A couple more segments. You wanted to follow up.
15:52
Ira had a couple of lengthy topics he kind of brought up, but
15:58
you wanted to clarify the real quick. I hate to say stuff unless I
16:03
know something, and you mentioned a binary trigger. There's so many different triggers
16:07
out there, and honestly, what people call one thing confused. I get
16:11
confused of what somebody calls it. The binary trigger. Who was referencing is
16:14
when you pull the trigger at one time, it goes bang. When you
16:17
let go of the trigger, it goes bang. Which seems to be legal
16:19
federally, and it looks to be legal in Georgia. I don't think it's
16:23
legal in Florida based on them bump stock prohibition, the law that came out
16:30
which was separate than the federal prohibition. Because you know there was some case
16:34
laws, you know, district core opinions on bump stocks nationally, same way
16:38
there is with pistol embraces and all that. But Florida very specifically has a
16:42
law that bans that type of stuff and any device that increases the rate of
16:47
fire to cause a firem to be able to be capable of firing faster than
16:52
a regular semi automatic. So, based on my interpretation of seven ninety point
16:57
two two two, you would be illegal. It would be illegal for you
17:02
to have a binary trigger that allows you to fire twice with one full sweep
17:07
operation of a trigger. So anyway, I would keep that many fourteen in
17:12
Georgia. The pistol brace issue we mentioned, I think it's the fifth circuit.
17:18
It covers Louisiana, Texas, and maybe Mississippi, but it doesn't cover
17:25
the nation. That said, it's likely gonna still end up before the US
17:30
Supreme Court. Well legal some of the legal opinions that are out on that
17:33
means that not only is it just in that district for now, it is
17:37
also only affects one manufacturer and then the members of the organization that file the
17:42
suit, not just anybody, which how do you how do you enforce that?
17:48
So, but I think and Jenny and I've talked about this, we
17:51
think that that's just the domino that's going to start the rest of the dominoes
17:55
to fall around the country until it gets it going to go to Supreme Court
17:57
at some point in time. I would, uh, I would keep my
18:02
pistol braces separate from my firearms. I mean, what's the what's the chance
18:07
of somebody getting a warrant to come to your house to look and see what
18:11
you have in the first place? Um, and then it gets in a
18:14
lot of people talking about constructive possession will Constructive possession typically means that there's an
18:18
illegal item in your presence, not on you. It's there. If you
18:22
have methamphetamines in your car and you're the only one driving the car, I
18:26
mean, we catch, we catch you, as law enforcement catches you.
18:29
You know, well, I don't I don't have it on my person,
18:32
yes, but you have it in the vehicle with you. Well, that
18:36
implies that that item is illegal. Okay. Well, constructive possession doesn't mean
18:41
that you have a that you have a pistol and a brace, and because
18:47
they're near each other, that's not that's not constructive possession. That could show
18:49
intent to put those two things together, but that's not constructive possession. That's
18:56
that's basically you know you you had the intent to do this. Um.
19:00
But then it gets really muddy because if you had some PVC pipe and some
19:04
gunpowder and some fuse and some you know, well, you might be making
19:10
an iad Well, I don't know, depends on where they were, if
19:14
the cannon fuse is in the garage and the PVC pipes out there. But
19:18
but you're you're in the well, you get your your your your gunpowder is
19:23
in your reloading room with the rest of your stuff. I mean, how
19:26
do you prove that? So there's I wouldn't be overly concerned about any of
19:30
that right now. I certainly wouldn't be throwing anything into trash, and I
19:33
wouldn't be unless I was going to be going to the range with these items.
19:36
I'd just leave it alone, because you know, you want to you
19:38
want to pin and weld your barrel to make it sixteen inches so that you
19:42
can that's fine. Uh, Honestly, I think it's I think it's a
19:47
little soon until the decisions are back with the courts. And all. But
19:52
you know, if you do what you feel comfortable with. Um, my
19:55
stuff is just disassembled and spread out where nobody can say I plan on taking
20:00
stuff to the range until until said time. Yeah, fital segmentarily strickling of
20:04
the talent training group, and we were just talking over kicking around some random
20:10
things, and I was thinking about the fact, Charlie that what are your
20:15
expectations come July first? Are you expecting a lot of people to buy guns
20:22
because they can now do so without having to obtain a CCW. I part
20:30
of me says, I hope so, and part of me says I hope
20:33
not. I would think that people who wanted to carry would already be going
20:37
and getting a training and applying for permits and all. But I also know
20:40
that that is a barrier to entry and always has been. Anytime you have
20:45
to make an effort to do that stuff, it slows things down. You
20:48
know, just a lot of how many people would don't start a business because
20:52
they don't understand the process of filings to get an LLC or to get insurance
20:57
and do all that stuff. I mean, it's just a completeity process and
21:02
there's risk involved. And now the doors open for people to just do what
21:06
they can do legally because they had the an alienable right to carry keeping,
21:11
you know, firearm for self defense. And now, so yes, I
21:15
think you're going to see an increase. We're already seeing an increase because people
21:18
don't understand the law hadn't gone into effect and want for another month. But
21:22
you know, it is what it is. People. Oh, they passed
21:25
the law, they just assumed that it's on the books now and it's not.
21:29
So you'll be careful for another thirty something days. Just be careful.
21:34
So yeah, I think you'll see more people coming out. We'll see we'll
21:37
see a lot more first time shooters. But just because there's no barrier to
21:41
entry now, you still have to go through the background check, you still
21:47
have to go through the process. You still can't buy a firearm if you're
21:49
a convicted feller and you have a domestic balance injunction against you, if you
21:52
blah blah blah blah blah, can I insert something. Yeah, just because
21:56
you can, doesn't mean you should. But if you do, get training,
22:02
get training and think about how you're going to store the firearm when you
22:04
get it home. I got kids who visits the house. Yeah, I
22:08
mean who's in your house? And if Florida law does require that you keep
22:11
a firearm secured if a child. What it says is, if if a
22:18
minor obtains a firearm and takes it to a public place and exhibits it or
22:23
hurts themselves or someone else or whatever, you can and will be charged with
22:26
the misdemeanor crime because you didn't secure it properly. You have to secure it
22:32
in a way that a reasonable person would believe that that child wouldn't be able
22:33
to get it. Now, somebody breaks in your house and gets it,
22:36
that's different. That's that doesn't apply. So think about it. You know
22:40
there are some inexpensive guns safe now, a personal defense gun in your home.
22:45
You don't want to lock that thing up where you can't get to it
22:48
in the middle of the night, but you certainly want to put it somewhere
22:51
that your children can't get to it. So there's a lot a lot of
22:52
options out there on how you can do that, from biometric stuff that I
22:56
don't trust, to push button things that you have to remember the combination while
23:00
you're a commentary with each of these items. But honestly, if you if
23:03
you wake up so zoned out that you can't figure out how to get to
23:07
your gun. You probably don't need to be shooting the threat in your house
23:11
because you might not actually be a threat. I mean, I don't know
23:12
how much ambium you might have taken or whatever. But the fact is is,
23:15
you know, you know you want to bed drunk, you know,
23:19
wake up in the middle of the night and shoot your roommate of your spouse
23:22
because you just wann't know. I mean, so there's a lot of responsibility
23:26
that goes with firearms and go into the range. We'll see a lot of
23:30
first time shooters out there, and we're going to devote time to that in
23:34
the coming weeks because there there is a reality more and more people are going
23:37
to be getting firearms. And the thing that I love about your range,
23:42
Charlie, and look, there are public ranges out there, folks. I've
23:48
been to them. I know you've been to them. I would never ever
23:51
ever suggest a first time shooter going to a polk range. I just wouldn't
23:55
know. It's scary. And the thing is is, and if you're if
23:57
you haven't shot a firearm before getting one and watching a YouTube video and going
24:02
out and shooting it by yourself probably not the way you want to go,
24:04
particularly if you're concerned with loud noises and over pressure. There's things if you
24:11
get the right kind of training will walk you or whoever is teaching it will
24:15
walk you through those things and make it less of a concern. I mean,
24:18
I do a lot of like up at the Dothan Facility. I'm doing
24:22
a lot of training up there now. First time shooters. Got a lady,
24:26
bless her heart, got a few years on her and she's coming every
24:30
Thursday until she feels comfortable. You know, I have a standing. It's
24:33
the right way to do it. Yeah. And the guns she bought what
24:37
and the guns she needed, you know, it's in our counter for sale
24:40
used right now. And we got her in the ones she needed. And
24:44
she's she's going to she wants to be able to protect herself, and bless
24:48
her heart, she's getting better at it and she's gonna be able to.
24:52
Yeah, I mean, and I applaud that. And that's what people should
24:55
do, and that's what we're here for. Find somebody to walk you through.
24:57
I see a lot of stuff on social media where people are taking to
25:00
friends and arrange that's awesome as long as you know what you're talking about.
25:04
We're going to talk more about that in the coming weeks with j D and
25:08
Charlie and our personal defense segments. As always, thanks to the time.
25:12
I appreciate you coming in. Yes, Sir Charlie Strickland of the Talent Training
