  Passionate about supporting our second odds.
• 0:28
  In this podcast, we'll cover various topics related to the second amendment.
• 0:31
  Plus any other topics of the day that I think are interesting or relevant.
• 0:35
  My name's slipping a sports movies topic.
• 0:37
  Occasionally I'll be fine with this podcast is informative and you can take at least one little thing away each time you listen to it.
• 0:43
  So.
• 0:44
  It is.
• 0:45
  July 11th Saturday.
• 0:47
  That I'm recording this.
• 0:48
  I don't know actually what I'm going to get it edited and released.
• 0:51
  I am in that baseball tour.
• 0:53
  We've been talking about.
• 0:54
  yesterday was two games and Tyler, Texas, which is about an hour and a half away.
• 0:59
  From here.
• 1:00
  Today, I'm driving an hour to walk the Hatchie for two games, then an hour and a half to Tyler for another game.
• 1:09
  Spend the night and Tyler get up at eight.
• 1:12
  O'clock have one more game and Tyler drive back an hour and a half to OCS.
• 1:16
  I actually, and I have one more game and then back home, probably about four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
• 1:23
  And then back to work on Monday.
• 1:25
  So, hopefully get this edited and released by Monday.
• 1:29
  But just to give you a little context of what I'm recording versus when the new, this may actually, get released.
• 1:34
  So I thought I'd, talk a little bit about some of that.
• 1:36
  Just a little different than.
• 1:37
  It's going to be a short episode.
• 1:39
  It seems like the getting shorter and shorter, but, a little bit of my backstory.
• 1:42
  So I've been an FFL, I guess, at work.
• 1:45
  13 years, got my FFL back in 2007.
• 1:48
  And at the time.
• 1:50
  I was buying a, you know, a gun here or there.
• 1:54
  and, and, primarily off a gun broker, you know, It was still early on in the online retailer space for firearms and, You know, after about a few and then went to my I'll publicly.
• 2:05
  I had him to transfer.
• 2:08
  I just decided, you know what, I'm going to see if I can get my fill.
• 2:11
  For no other reason than just to try.
• 2:13
  I've always been one to just try things.
• 2:15
  This podcast is, I think that Lumby just trying something that I've never done before.
• 2:20
  So I filled out paperwork, weighted my year and got my FFL.
• 2:25
  Yeah.
• 2:26
  And during this time, started working on brother who my brother has always been just.
• 2:31
  A huge farm, 30 as long.
• 2:34
  Yeah, much more than I ever been, way back to the time when, I mean, 10 years old and, So, you know, and I started talking about.
• 2:42
  Well, it's, you know, I'm getting my FFL.
• 2:45
  Think about, you know, both have always wanted to do something on that wrong.
• 2:49
  So let let's let's make it.
• 2:51
  Let's try this gun business thing.
• 2:53
  So we created live to shoot.
• 2:56
  And then 2007.
• 2:58
  I created a little sheet and then he joined me and, he was in North Carolina at the time.
• 3:04
  And we.
• 3:05
  Started to, and he, he had a key guy that fell out there as well.
• 3:09
  And, We started to, You know, accumulate some mentor.
• 3:12
  We create a website, had an online store.
• 3:16
  It's hard to marketing, starting doing sales.
• 3:19
  And I was going to just transfer it on the side.
• 3:22
  And, you know, we were doing a decent little bit of business.
• 3:25
  and.
• 3:27
  it was growing and then, variety of events happened and.
• 3:32
  we ended up having to back away from the online, store and keeping inventory, and really had to kind of step away from the business for a while.
• 3:42
  And you know, it just left me and I didn't have time to do all the sourcing and marketing and all of that.
• 3:47
  As well as all the other thing that I was doing as it pertained to the business.
• 3:51
  So I just kind of backed off and started doing, doing transfers.
• 3:55
  But, through this process, you know, I learned something, I developed a heart for something, and that was really to try and make the foreign person process much easier.
• 4:04
  You know, just really became a supportive and that, passionate about our second amendment rights.
• 4:10
  And facilitating those and allowing people to, to enjoy those rights with this few of, hurdles that they had to go over the, you.
• 4:19
  know, the government and local officials would make it tough enough.
• 4:23
  And so I really started trying to play, so I thought, well, I'm just going to try and make this transfer piece much easier.
• 4:30
  A lot of, gun stores don't like to do transfers.
• 4:34
  They, you know, see it as an inconvenience, so they will charge you a lot of money.
• 4:38
  they may not be as friendly to you when you come in.
• 4:41
  So I thought, well, I'm just going to create a thing or that I I'm embracing this people.
• 4:45
  They don't, when they come in, they don't feel like they, they, you know, I would get that.
• 4:48
  They've got to buy anything else from me.
• 4:50
  and also keep my transfer fees.
• 4:53
  Very horrible.
• 4:54
  I charged$10.
• 4:56
  If you had all that.
• 4:57
  Hang on license or 15, if you don't prefer.
• 5:01
  The last 13 years never changed.
• 5:04
  in my whole heart was around, you know, really trying to make this process easier on folks and to make it convenient and painless as possible.
• 5:13
  And.
• 5:14
  And people really seem to embrace that.
• 5:16
  And we provided service in the friendly atmosphere, the coming to and all around, just really trying to help facilitate people, exercising their second amendment rights.
• 5:26
  And through all those processes, things gone, you know, the, our second middle ranks and been challenged and pushed and pushed over the last several years.
• 5:34
  And so now I'm, you know, I'm still trying to figure out, you know, how can I.
• 5:38
  Again, no.
• 5:40
  Support the second amendment that's against this podcast.
• 5:43
  Try and get some information out to people.
• 5:45
  I was like, Got a YouTube channel that we're trying to build up.
• 5:49
  Well, I.
• 5:51
  In that effort, I'm looking at some other opportunities to try and potentially help facilitate.
• 5:57
  Figure out ways to help, make the.
• 6:00
  Farmer purchasing, transferring process easier, I guess, easier on new shooters to.
• 6:07
  To purchasing guns.
• 6:09
  Variety different things.
• 6:11

• 6:26
  And this is really for those listeners that are in the States.
• 6:29
  that my international listeners, you know, this isn't really going to apply unless this, unless you are, you know, an American citizen.
• 6:35
  In the past an insight into this and, and you just, And you want to contribute those?

• 7:23
  even, Instagram, they're not Googled impact, you know?
• 7:27
  Unfortunately, I have to use some of these in various ways.
• 7:31
  But, I don't.
• 7:32
  That's another thing that I'm trying to, to, to solve for them.
