going down in tenee where freom is
alive you hear shots ring from the
[Music]
woods good
[Applause]
[Music]
yes hicock 45 still with pairing issues
no speaker JBL speaker would not work I
wouldn't buy one of these I will go buy
a different brand now can I get this one
to a pair no matter what anymore so
anyway your internet shooting companion
come to you from the warmish hills of
Tennessee tick field and humid and and
green yeah but we're here home of Dolly
Parton yes Tennessee glad you're here
and you're not afraid of ticks at least
too much so yeah here we are with the
k31 many of many of you recognized it
because because you have one or you've
seen one or you want one you're shopping
for one interesting rifle I had have not
had this thing out and I don't know how
long I've noticed it in the safe and and
uh I'm going to get that out one of
these Sunday I finally got around to it
and it's pretty bad the the first time I
fired it too was was here sort of in the
video tried to start the the camera
going and I I couldn't figure out how to
fire it how dumb am I you in the safety
I hadn't messed with it for so long uh
just getting in the safety off and in
position and everything so I fired one
round fig oh okay that's it so I had
five instead of six that you all saw I
fired the first one when I figured it
out uh that's pretty bad is it when you
have so many Firearms you have to
relearn yeah it is a little unusual it's
your old Swiss
k31 and uh it's beloved by any
uh
uh the reputation it has is of high very
high quality uh accuracy uh it's a
little unique you notice it's got the
straight pull design on the bolt well
now I've got the nothing in it but it uh
when
you you fire it then you just pull
straight back straight forward to put
the next round in and the bolt does the
turning in there the handle doesn't
doesn't turn or anything so pretty
interesting you can see it's kind of a
Groove there a little Cog and works
pretty well uh yep had that a while
bought that up
in oh gosh no it didn't I have to look
it up I tried to buy one in Kentucky
that's right that's how that went my
first k31 I was at a Kentucky Gun Show
on
Somerset and a fellow had one just like
this I was going to buy it from him and
because I was from Tennessee he wouldn't
sell it to me and I couldn't I could not
convince him that it was
okay it's a long gun we're adjacent to
Kentucky there's no problem with that
but he was this old fellow that just I
don't know he he's afraid the ATF would
be after him or something and it it was
kind of frustrating because it perfectly
legal and that's so and and at that time
at least he didn't run across a them
very often I don't think you still do in
gun shops necessarily or gun shows and
so I hated to leave it there but I
wasn't going to get in a big fight with
the guy over
gee I didn't know anybody else like the
show really set up there you know if it
had been a situation where somebody I
knew local gun shop or something had a
from Tennessee you know had a had a
table there and you know could have
explained to him or uh bought it through
him the Tennessee dealer or something
you know all of which would been
perfectly legal but anyway but I did
find one I don't remember where I have
to look it up might have been
online but pretty neat uh pretty neat
round I've got some Hornady here I'm
going to shoot uh had to go digging for
ammo you know the 765 or yeah 7.5 of
55 is a nice round very nice round and
and uh it's cool so a little privy
partisan
uh what else do I have here some stuff
that's
so from Switzerland yeah I got some of
those I've shot a few of those not a lot
and I'm not ordered any of those yet
from yards and then of course Alabama oh
I've got a different Alabama holster for
a change in my pocket this one's for LCP
Max been carrying that some lately okay
appreciate their help made great little
concealment kidex holsters of all kinds
yeah so and uh ball and Talon grips uh
come through constantly B stall put a
little on here I didn't put much on here
I hope I put enough and uh speaking on
my little LCP Max I've got the pr grips
Talon grips on that so lots of support
we get and I've got another handgun out
here I'm going to shoot and uh again you
know what year it is the 150th
anniversary so you know what I have out
you just don't know which one yeah 7
and2 in made in
1957 shoot it was a little dirty from
some other shooting and hadn't uh so I I
get that shoot it Sunday yeah so I just
took a couple of shots with it and got
it a little bit dirty oh man here I am
yeah uh I got a charger too for this k31
they call call them chargers I think
okay not clips and I have it loaded so
and they hold six I think yeah hold six
cuz the magazine holds six also an
interesting rifle if You' never seen one
um get a chance you get a chance pick
one well maybe pick it up to look at it
I don't know depends on where you are
pick it up with permission let's put it
that way you know magazine a very high
quality piece of Machinery the way that
works and comes out of there and
uh just just just great I've never put a
sling on this one and uh but you know
it's all matching and the bolt and just
everything even the magazine has a
serial number on it it's you I think the
barrel bands might do they maybe not
thinking a
Mouser but it's obviously intact uh as
it came from the factory so great gun
Great Gun uh
uh yeah so I don't know what else do you
need to know about anything uh hope you
enjoyed Independence Day if you live in
this country right that's probably a
first prerequisite for for one thing I
guess and I hope you saw the little
Cannon I got shot I don't think I'd
shown that to you I meant to bring it
out on a on a Sunday B that in
friendship and uh I think that's why I
didn't say anything about it I was going
to bring it out sometime maybe do a
video uh prettyy soon with it or uh or
show it just show it to you but uh it's
a really neat little Cannon I believe
it's a replica of a civil war Cannon era
Cannon I believe uh yeah Howitzer maybe
I don't know uh you all saw the video
you know check that out tell me what
that is I I'm not a
astute uh knowledgeable about all the
various models of Canon some people are
wow and there are so many different
types that one is one of my favorites uh
it's kind of a standard U I don't know
house or whatever they called those and
uh it's kind of the one you see set up
at at uh at Civil War battlefields you
know so often and different displays
pretty much that cannon that that
carriage and uh it's 50 caliber shoots a
50 caliber ball and had a lot of trouble
doing that little silly thing I thought
I do that uh we'd been out and got back
I said I think I'll do I've been meaning
to do a short with that thing I just do
it today on on the 4th of July it be a
good day to do it and post it I could
not get the wick to work I had some old
Wick and i' light I fired it tested it
first time I'd fired it that day on the
fourth and
uh and it it did okay but then when I
set it up to for the little quick video
the fuse wouldn't work two or three
different times so they had to walk away
get away from it you know let the fuse
totally burn out whatever he doing cuz
it burned down into the fuse hole but it
would go off then pick it out pick again
and all that kind of thing did that two
or three times and the sad thing about
it is I had bought a new roll of fuse
when I bought that Cannon up at
friendship
Indiana I couldn't find it anywhere it
just
disappeared when I took that out of the
bag I thought I had just hung it up in
the barn I couldn't find it anywhere I
was so upset with myself
but in the process of looking for it and
digging through everything I found some
other Canon fuse I bought many years
ago and uh I thought well this is not
even sealed up in this plastic but it it
looks like nice fuse I'll try it and
I'll be I cut off a couple pieces and
just lit it and whoa it was nice it was
it was it went to town it was burning
hot and so that's what it worked in the
Cannons of was glad I ran across that
apparently there there's fuse and then
there's fuse there's just different
levels of quality you know I didn't know
that so uh anyway that's pretty neat uh
of course a great day to celebrate uh my
gosh especially these days and after the
last few years uh you know you hate to
be a pessimist but you also wonder all
you almost wonder whether we uh should
even celebrate do we deserve to
celebrate we're losing our independence
you know in so many ways and our freedom
freedom of speech freedom of uh
everything it seems at times doesn't it
uh and it is uh it's almost tarnished
holidays like that but I don't know I I
kind of feel a uh on a positive side
optimistic side I'm I'm seeing a bit of
a uh the pendulum swinging back how
about you you know some of the recent
Court decisions
uh and then then again on top of that uh
the federal judge uh telling the White
House to stay out of tech you know and
uh giving big Tech instructions about
what the block or not and all that kind
of thing it doesn't matter who's in the
White House they shouldn't be messing
with that right uh so I don't know maybe
maybe there's hope you think you think
well we need a we need a return to
sanity that's for sure in the worst way
in the worst way uh and it's up to you
and me to make sure it happens yeah it
really is so anyway uh you know uh we
lose our
rights uh then we lose them slowly and
we don't realize it you know and then
they're kind of gone we're not really
exercising them but you know Frederick
Doug what Frederick Douglas said that a
man's rights rest in three boxes I know
you all seen this The Ballot Box the
jury box and the cartridge box
and boy that is the truth that is so
much the truth okay what should I shoot
can I load up his
45 let's do oh boy sounds good all what
we got here some got this from uh Wier
some
foke cowboy action
ammunition 45 Colt oh look at that 45
Colt it's hard to beat that that that
round I'll tell you fun to shoot
it's not going to Magnum you if you're
if you're recoil
sensitive it uh you know you fired it
like a 45 ACP you know you fired a big
cartridge but it doesn't hurt you okay
doesn't hurt you let's put one on that
Target boom right in the Bull's Eye I
Ain not believing
that right red plate
[Music]
sweet that should be it that should be
five click
yep doesn't get much better happy
anniversary good old
cult not to you specifically but to all
of you and your brothers and sisters are
there sisters but uh yeah 150 years wow
San gun being produced almost
continuously just a couple of breaks and
uh you
know Amazing World War II and well I
guess you could you could
say well you know there was a pause at
what uh
1974 76 or something there but the main
break was for World War II but then it
was kind of extended because I think
Colt wasn't sure they were going to go
back to making it you know until Ruger
and the Great Western company started
making them and selling lot thousands of
them and variations of it and then cult
hey wait a minute we can do that we've
been doing that since 19
1873 we can make those too okay people
if you'd like a a CT single action type
gun well how about we just make the real
thing and start selling it again so uh
that that worked out pretty well well
yeah cuz I wouldn't have this one if
they hadn't uh started resumed
manufacturer you'd just have the first
generation so cool as I said in the
video the anniversary video couple weeks
ago um the second generation guns are
some of the best they really are they're
I mean there's not a ton of difference
but uh you talk to collectors and
Shooters and gunsmiths they'll they'll
tell you that the the especially the
early second generation guns were some
of the best made uh just really really
well made nice guns that's been my
experience too the ones I've had of the
second gen guns so I might need to shoot
this rifle some more too let me see if I
can charge it all right with the charger
in here get the bullets headed in the
right
direction is't that cool that neat a
little different a little
different and work well too I think yeah
people have written me said they use
these uh k31 chargers for the Crag
somebody did at least and uh they they
carry these and to open up the hatch on
the crack Jorgenson rifle and use these
to to fill the Box said
work so we'll shoot this
baby I remember how to do it it is
really humid is very very humid you
should feel sorry for me out
here actually i b anyway I really would
uh I mean I I don't know I'm out half
the day in part of the day it just
depends what what I'm doing what's going
on uh I I I get used to the Heat and I
just uh refuse to stay in the
house and in fact I come out in the
mornings I'm so happy to get a swing
back we have a porch swing some one I've
told you about that that slamfire uses
to let me know he want in the house he
at front of the window in the den and so
we see him hit the swing he's looking in
the window he wants in and the swing is
going crazy and he doesn't face him a
bit he's just looking in the window
y'all let me in so we go to the door and
let him in and uh we had the swing that
my uh it was my
wife's grandparents or great
grandparents been a family forever is we
had on the porch uh since of moved out
here in '
85 and uh I go out and sit in the
morning sometimes you reat or have
coffee uh check mail or something but
and it it just finally started giv away
the back started breaking out and it
wasn't a a a robust swing to begin with
and so I set out to find a new swing and
uh I'd seen them for years that I liked
I preferred one made out of wood and
unfinished in terms of paint or anything
like that and some Amish
probably you know swing so we went down
to Lawrenceburg finally got some time we
drove down to Lawrenceburg Tennessee
down in there in ethd Southern Middle
Tennessee is a huge Amish population if
you ever been down there that's down in
David Crockett's uh uh hangout and all
that he lived down there had a what a
powder mill and river and everything but
uh we usually go down for David Crockett
days uh but I don't know that's gotten
to where it's almost not worth the drive
but so we just went down there and
looked around antique shops and looked
for swings and found one Amish made uh
swing and uh had a couple of choices one
Cedar and one was Oak and we preferred
the Oak and brought it back I smoothed
it up a little bit with some sandpaper
and I put another coat of uh varnish on
it and I really like it it's just really
nice to go out there and sit sometimes
clam fire jumps up in the swing with me
and uh and I can't get him to read but
he gets up there with me he's my buddy
all right let's shoot this thing uhoh I
just uh tried to cram two
rounds into you know what I think I
didn't I know what it was that last
round wasn't pushed down into the
magazine and I could probably solve
this yeah by dropping the magazine okay
which is another way you can load it of
course pull it out a little bit like
reminds me of my my Sako my Seiko
Bavarian I know it's Sako everybody
reminds me every time I get it out it's
Sak well not everybody most people say
Seiko in this country and they don't
want to hear Sako you know but people
from Finland or elsewhere or people who
know uh and want to you know
correct me will tell me wherever they're
from so it's it's that old bill it's
like root and R or carbine and carbine
and there's going to be people that have
said it the the one way their entire
lives and they don't want to hear it any
other way so that's just the way we are
right
okay
uh i' like to at least acknowledge the
proper you know pronunciation of
something not pronunciation I always
love when somebody says says you're
usually the wrong
pronunciation does it get more ironic
than that huh oh man it's like putting
off reading that book about
procrastination right it's pronunciation
it's even spelled pronun in un cation so
but I like to acknowledge the uh before
I got off on the grammar rant I like to
at least acknowledge the way uh other
people say it uh or the way it should be
said really maybe even even though we
don't say it that way or most people
don't like gan's good example uh Pro
proper pronunciation of his name is
Garen John
Garen uh but of all the people who know
what a Garand is and own them what
percentage would you say call it a
Garand 95% you know if you're at a gun
shop and people are talking about the
grand that's probably what they're
saying the gran
so you can you can be uh correct and ask
about the
Garen you know and uh you know I don't
know it's just one of those deals where
you sort of come off as a know
itall want wanting to be different is it
weird because you're the one that's
pronouncing it correctly actually but
then again what is correct in that case
yeah his name was uh Garen pronounced
Garen but maybe he created a rifle that
designed a rifle that's called the
Gan you know language is is what it is
what people call it is is what ends up
being correct or or or not correct or
incorrect it's a matter of a common
usage you know when uh a word takes over
a word that we haven't even had before
comes around because we just need a word
for something that didn't exist before
however we say that however most people
say that is how it kind of enters the
dictionary right so I don't know that
made any sense probably not can I shoot
this
thing all
right yeah that's
better oh yeah I meant to tell you
something else there as I was missing
the gong at the opening of the video
there was a reason for that
it might have been the reason I missed
[Music]
that all right got me a buffalo so again
just to prove I could shoot it I'm not a
total dork
one bullet left how about a red 2
L
wow hope you saw that one I I uh remind
you all of
this every now and
then that red 2 L went d
laterally uh literally laterally uh is
there such a thing as do do lateral you
see that would be more of a Easter
Direction so it went du
East and uh did not pass go it went
about 25 yards over there you can't see
it necessarily uh again as an
illustration of what happens when you
shoot something that has a lot of liquid
in it okay things like that watermelons
bottles they do strange things anything
that has a lot of liquid in it and uh so
I won't speak any further or bring up
the Kennedy
assassination okay I'll let you uh infer
what I'm talking about there so so what
looks obvious is not necessarily always
the truth or or obvious so oh yeah what
I was going to tell you here no charge
for this I don't if you can see the ears
in the front side on this I'll get up
here maybe you can kind of look at it
you're not really looking down but I
don't know I can sort of see what I'm
talking about here notice the ears
they're just from where they're shiny
that makes sense right uh they're going
to have more worn off because the sight
is
protected uh the actual blade there so
this is a part that's going to be shiny
just from rubbing and all that well when
you put this thing up to your face and
look down there those those either one
of those ear looks like the sight you
see that shiny little thing and that's
what I was using on the gong and I I
what is it the mosan I think is like
that maybe the
uh the Lee Enfield get some other old
surplus rifles I know you got to be
careful of that as well and I have
actually done that I know what I was
trying to so I just thought I was
looking at the site cuz it's right there
close by the blade and you you look down
through there and and it's really yeah
makes a nice sight picture uh using
either one of those ears really does cuz
they're shiny and uh so I need to uh I
put need to put some light paint on that
badly maybe even uh some orange paint on
that one to really differentiate it yeah
before I go to battle so remind me of
that okay something to think about uh
yeah I was missing the gong and I wow
wow what kind of elevation do I need on
this gong I don't remember this thing
you need to hold this yeah I me with a
rifle generally once you get the sights
kind of kind of correct and I probably
don't have any mine exactly correct if
uh cuz I just shoot standing you know if
you took all of my rifles some of you
all shoot a lot bench
rest you could take all of my rifles
probably and uh and site them in and you
You' maybe move the sights a little bit
to get them right on or something but I
mean they're all close enough for
government work for my work because I
just stand and
shoot
uh but anyway my point was going to be I
I but I usually with a rifle especially
I don't run into that issue that we you
see me run into with handguns like with
this uh but because the elevation is
just a bigger factor with a handgun
especially it's a big old bullet it's
not nearly as fast as those these are
like half the speed of those or more
than or less than half the speed of
those and then you got heavy but you
shoot a 200 grain bullet one day and you
can shoot a 250 grain bullet and out of
a handgun so you get really a change and
impact and a site picture that's needed
that can be you fairly dramatic
sometimes especially at long range
right with a rifle though you know
you're shooting out something 2500 3,000
ft per second and you get the sides
pretty close on and you know 80 yards
you know there just you should be able
to hold it just about right on you know
you're going to you're going to hit
somewhere in that range that's what was
what how am I missing this thing the
second shot I held a little more
carefully but yeah I was careful but I
was carefully using one of those ears as
my front sight what I was doing so I
learn something every day and I try to
pass it on to you all you learn from my
ignorance or my idiocy my negligence
okay so I usually know what it is I
usually can figure it out it's just I
maybe have forgotten it you know all
right hey what else anything else you
want to know about
uh hope you saw the
uh oh yeah the single shot video and all
those the original 1886 woodswalk and
all the other fun videos we've been
posting I I'm always so sorry man I've
been so fortunate to get have some
really cool uh Firearms like this you
know this this cult that 1886 rifle you
know that thing was made in
1886 and you know to be able to take a
rifle like that out that and shoot it
and enjoy it that's that old uh it's
just uh it still just stirs your blood
you know and have fun with it and uh I
always wish videos like that would get a
million views you know I but you know
for one thing that one's demonetized
yeah dangerous right and you know so
they just don't get out there that much
you know and uh it's got to be something
really sexy and of course if you really
want to get views you got to have some
crazy thumbnail right and some crazy
title and all that sort of stuff but and
maybe be about guns helps too right but
uh but anyway the the most important
people see it like like you all and the
people that appreciate Farms like that
and and keep up with the channel you
know which reminds me a really good
illustration of of well how you have to
keep up with a channel if you want to
see the videos you're not going to get
recommendations definitely uh is uh that
funny little video we did did when
Tucker Carlson was here about the
shoulder thingy that goes up remember
that barrel shrouds and all that
alluding to his interview uh years
before that you know and I link to that
interview in the description of that
video and in the pin comment and
everything but that little funny thing
we did and John and I started out as if
we were going to do a Basics video and
you know we kind of prepped it a little
bit but not no lines no scripting uh
like somebody asked me about said
something about well scripted no there
was no
scripting uh other than you know we kind
of set it up so we' start the video like
we're going to have a Basics video
explain something about barrel shrouds
and or whatever and uh we just told tury
you want you just come in interrupt this
and uh we go from there and that's what
he did and he just really carried the
day as I've said uh he I didn't even
know he was that ready to do it you know
it was funny he was agreeable to do it
but I didn't know he was going to get
into it like that it was a great but
anyway I don't know if you've noticed uh
if it's hit you or not but that video is
2 years old over two years and it's it's
getting suggested like crazy like it's
essentially gone viral it's unreal uh I
mean just comments constantly being
placed on people and Views it's it's
just it's like we just posted it
yesterday and it's some crazy video
everybody wants to see two years old you
know so and and if you notice that go to
that video it's uh uh I forgot what what
it's called Tucker Carlson in the
shoulder thingy that goes up or
something
but
uh every other person comments every
other comment literally almost is why
didn't I see this why am I just now
seeing this why is this just now being
suggested
I saw somebody walking in my
driveway it must be
a just a
second no I think it's my wife got home
I can barely see through the trees my
driveway I just want to be ready if I
was going to have to go into combat mode
I no I guess i' I'd be better off the G
grab this instead of the cold r but
anyway that that's an illustration I
think of uh how it is you know uh I've
told a few of those folks why am I just
now seen it well I don't know but you
probably missed hundreds of other videos
too you know I mean they're they're just
not being recommended or suggested you
know so I don't know what the deal is
with that one and there's a couple
others like that they just just pop up
the kakano and something else uh posted
years ago you know so it's very random I
don't know how who who knows what the
algorithm does but at any rate uh that's
a real good illustration everybody's
curious that can't can't understand why
they haden't seen that video well
probably the same reason you haven't
seen a lot of them you know they just
don't get
recommended
uh what else do you want to know about
anything oh something about western
movies speaking of of these came to my
mind I was watching some Western this
week uh believe it or not I know that's
hard to imagine uh and I something going
on tank gunfighters May been The
Rifleman I don't Lawman you know Lawman
the is it the Lawman lman no it's just
lman I think uh is a is a good series
too you know not a lot of people bring
that one up uh when they're listing
their favorite western series of all
times or or anything but you know that
is a good one uh John Russell and
uh Johnny McCay that's just name in the
show is it the young guy what's his name
uh but I I was like that when it was
showing uh
originally and uh it's still good and uh
but
anyway I've talked about you know people
getting winged shot in the shoulder and
it's no big deal you know or knocked out
with a gun barrel Bonk concussion time
they they they're out for a few minutes
whatever is needed for the plot line
they come to and they're rubbing their
head and then they're fine uh shot in
the leg all the time shot in the arm all
the time shot in the shoulder like in
places like right in here and here and
they still jump on the horse and take
off and ah it's just a little flesh one
you know uh there's just things like
that conventions that that that help the
show Move Along enables them to use the
plot line they want to use uh well
another thing they do that is has long
bothered me a little bit you know
uh like everything in the world and in
The Westerns the glitzy characters are
the gunfighters of course or the sheriff
the deputies you know those are the uh
the cool people the ones involved in the
conflict the guys hanging out in the
saloon you know the gunfighters the
fighters or whatever case might be Rodeo
guy or
whatever and the
shopkeepers and the side
Busters are like the fourth class
citizens if you notice and I mean
they're disregarded in fact they call
like Lucas McCain they refer to him as a
sodbuster who that sodbuster like that's
an insult if you're a farmer that's an
insult if you're a farmer you know like
who wasn't a farmer to some extent back
then or if you're a storekeeper that one
really they do a lot of that no matter
what it is U my gosh I could name lots
of shows where someone was a storekeeper
then they got a real life and became a
a Cattleman or went off to fight or
something like that but a shopkeeper
always got him wearing the apron you
know and you know being a a Meek guy or
something yeah like like a shop
shopkeeper well how about shopkeeper
isn't that the same as a businessman a
business person yeah like you actually
have something going for yourself you I
mean think about a cowboy was really
kind of a a low wage job then and I
guess still live depend on what you're
doing but you know I think a cowboy a
cattle driver they'd make a buck a day
or something like that I don't know
less and uh there's a lot of money Buck
a day back then but
uh but you know usually young people on
those cattle dri people who would work
for that and there's harsh conditions
and you know fighting cattle and
shoveling manure all all the things that
go along with that you know and uh in
contrast that with someone who actually
owns a business in town you know the
general store or a I don't know a stable
or whatever it might be who actually is
a business person and uh you know is uh
goes home every night to bed you know
not out sleeping on the trail and they
they may be making some pretty good
money if they're a good business person
you know buying and selling and uh
dealing with all the town's people and
you know but anyway
the I that's the the point pointed that
is that is something a lot of people
strive for right to have a business of
some kind whatever it is selling Widgets
or making widgets and and that's because
people know if you're in some kind of
business you're creating something or
you're offering a service you have the
potential to make pretty good salary or
pretty good money you know maybe I mean
it's profit loss you've got a lot of
work to do you're your day never ends
and your work never ends but uh you
actually have a chance to to
you know make some pretty good money
makes some a pretty good bank you know
if you manage it well and you expand
what you need to you offer service or
products that people are wanting to buy
and all that kind of thing so uh you
know it's just it's always struck me is
odd how they they they uh
denigrate those towns people who were
like the business people was the banker
or anything for a lot of their shows and
of course they all they all Again part
of the reason is they need that
convention they need that for their
plotline uh think about high noon uh
where all the people in the town other
than the Lawman you know the sheriff
they're just uh afraid to help out you
know and a lot of that is just
absolutely fake too I it's
U it's not it's fraudulent it's not the
way people would be or are were anyway
you know people are quick to jump in
especially back then you think the towns
people are going to let a bunch of
Renegades say five or six guys come into
town just take over the town and they're
all going to be afraid to help the
sheriff to be deputized just because
these are tough guys you got the whole
freaking Town they're all raised on
firearms and they they're out west
they're you know they're they've lived a
rugged life to some extent nobody's
going to come in there and and and take
over the
town the sheriff wouldn't even have to
come and ask you know for the most part
you know think about that my gosh so
that's all fakery you know really but it
it plays into the plot and the story
that they want to present and and that
that's true through so so many of The
Westerns you know where unless you're
you know a cattle rancher you're
breaking uh busting Broncos you're the
sheriff or whatever you're just a a mey
mouth storekeeper or Banker or whatever
it may be so they get a lot of mileage
out of that and uh hopefully people are
smart enough to realize that would not
have been the case not have been the
case again High Noon is one of the best
examples of that I think although it's a
great
movie it's like a lot of things you can
enjoy fiction just realize it's
fiction and and and think about you turn
your brain on when you're watching that
kind of stuff stuff everybody young
people uh yeah I mean just be aware it's
not the way the world is it's
interesting to watch it's a story and
you got to have that conflict like in
high noon if everybody's ready to jump
in and help the sheriff uh fight those
bad guys that were coming to get even
with him well you could had a good
gunfight and everything but you wouldn't
have had the drama because almost the
entire show is based around his running
around town trying get help you know and
you're thinking people are going to help
him then they don't they they drop off
one at a time you
know keep that in mind with anything in
order to get the plotline the writer
once they might step away from reality a
little bit yeah did you ever think of
that I used to have warn my students
when we would start non-fiction studying
non-fiction that uh you know you got to
look at the author what the book is look
at the agenda who is it that wrote this
uh and don't just assume everything in
this book is true just because it's
nonfiction could be a book written about
Richard Nixon or George Bush or Barack
Obama or anybody could be a
autobiography could be a
biography written about any of those
people R Lincoln George Washington
whoever you almost need to study the
author as much as uh as anything and ask
yourself what act they might have had to
grind what were they in a different
political party are they in a different
political party or and then of course
the
usual how are you going to get people to
buy this
book how are you going to get attention
hey a lot of that around YouTube right
well maybe you need to
uh uh have a
chapter about how AB
Lincoln was secretly walk
something outrageous you know I don't
know because somebody
somewhere during his life accused him of
something that was totally bogus but
that'll get people's so you just don't
know what the the author might be
pulling up there that's uh pretty silly
actually all right speaking of that
let's shoot this silly
rifle blow that Target over I keep
thinking since it's straight pull that
it's semi-automatic
but it's not it's just fully
semi-automatic right I should put a a
note on that in case that happens
again all right let's shoot that red
bowling pin down
there
right see how this works let me get back
where you can see it cuz you should have
seen the videos on this rifle
we have two or three or four pull
straight back
forward one
more all right pretty neat rifle very
robust uh just feel strong it is a
little weird you know just pulling
straight back and you know but the the
bolt is turning is it Bol let me take
magazine out nothing more annoying is
there than a magazine lifted bolts
hanging as you push it in see it turns
the locks in like that serial number is
over here on the side okay but as I push
that in forward it rotates and it's at
the top and I'll typically look for that
because you you make sure it rotates in
there because that means it's locked in
if I see that seral number on the top I
know I'm good all right and I can sort
of feel it you know whether it chambered
and locked in right it always has I'm
not buying
trouble who would buy
trouble even if it were at a good price
right so I had this R to shoot let's
shoot
it good old Colt Single Action Army 45
Colt let's see if I can hit the bullseye
on this target oh man I did what a shot
quick yep very sweet very
sweet uh put that on your bucket list
sometime in your life and I know some of
most of you have firearms some of you
might not you're you're new I don't know
why you're watching on Sunday it's got
to be really boring got to be boring to
everybody
uh but uh have a single action on your
bucket list uh some point I should do
that I make a a bucket list for new
collectors or Shooters you know got to
have a lever gun you got to have a
single action what else a bolt
action got to have a double barrel
shotgun sometime in your life right
coach gun those sorts of
things a double action revolver
uh yeah
AR15 uh uh semi-automatic
handgun good pump
shotgun a good 22
pistol either a revolver or
semi-automatic or both maybe a same with
a rifle 22 rifle bolt semi-auto lever
whatever you know so you know it's only
about 15 guns you got to
get if you want to be well Diversified
okay so just my advice all right
anything else you're got to know about
uh oh
gosh anything think I was going to young
people yeah let me give young people
some advice if if I have any
uh uh I'll say you know I've talked a
lot I am not a financial adviser I am
not a doctor I don't have a degree in
nutrition these things I talk about but
but like like Finance you know I think
food and money are really really similar
aren't they most humans all of us at
some time we have trouble managing both
one of them or both of them don't we
really think of somebody you know
including yourself who at some point has
not had difficulty
managing food their diet or or the
finances it's just yeah it's like just
common as air really it is and uh and we
almost know the answers already we just
can't get the self-discipline to uh to
to do it right what a lot of it comes
down to but uh if you conjure up some
self-discipline in both areas it's
really really advantageous young people
old people whoever and again let me
mention uh a good place to start is just
some people that what helps me with some
things is to constantly keep some folks
in front of me and learning about it
like reading if you read a lot of books
on a certain topic you just get more
knowledgeable and then you
also it helps you keep the religion you
know what I mean helps you keep the
religion just like if literally you want
to be a very religious person of
whatever religion it is if you're
constantly reading about uh that
religion the history of it or the uh
supposed sacred documents associated
with that religion whatever it is it's
going to keep you on track right
well not to give these folks any
religious significance but again Dr Ken
Barry you know when it comes to diet and
eating properly and the proper human
diet and all that kind of thing you may
not agree with them but I would watch as
many of his videos as you can I really
would and then go from there agree or
disagree uh and then the world of
Finance someone I watch a lot I've
probably seen the vast majority of his
videos is Rob Berger b r g r
and you know you may
not uh get into some of it but go
through and look at it especially if you
know anything already about indexing
funds and that kind of thing at all but
he's he like do like kenberry Common
Sense
approach understandable and common sense
so I just would feel remiss if I didn't
mention both of those names because both
those people people I've watched uh the
vast majority of both of their videos
and and uh you know for whatever that's
worth they both are are so sensible uh
to me okay so enough on that no more
tips uh but yeah I was going to say it's
just so easy to get into financial
trouble most of us have done that at
some point it's so easy to get
overweight you know and with both in
both cases it's uh the idea
thing to do is to avoid getting down the
road very far in terms of problems in
either area you know and it so it helps
to kind of find good books maybe written
by these people or whoever and videos
and just uh stay on track keep yourself
motivated and uh it it'd be
good I think it's good for me so
whatever is good for me it's got to be
good for you right even though I'm not
really human like most of
so what should I'm going to shoot one
more thing and let you go which one
should I shoot huh you all choose I'll
hold them both
up well I've shot a lot of these lately
and you know I overdo it with the old
cult single action and I'll continue to
bring it out all year so let's shoot
this k31 that's a a little different uh
animal I need to order some ammo for
that let see if wideners has that it
it's not everywhere but I I mean you
know I haven't checked yet but uh I
might have a I might have some more
somewhere yeah I might I look around but
uh I mean they're not like totally uh
abnormal chamber Rings is like the 6.5
by 55 this is the
7.5 by 55 don't confuse it with the
Swedish
Mouser this is the Swiss
Ram don't confuse uh Sweden with
Swiss the Swiss is the 7.5 the bigger
boore 7.5 by 55 the Swedish Mouser again
is a 6.5 by 55 both very nice rounds all
right what did I put in there six yeah
all
holds okay it's need to find another mag
for that sometime but I don't know
they're even available this one's the
original serial number to it so that's
pretty
cool all right
let's shoot
something get yall out of
here a bowling pin right here
yeah nice you see how if you work with
this something you get really quick on
the action cuz it's just none of that up
and down it's just back and forth back
and
forth I bet that was the reason for the
design as a combat Rifle so you could
put out a lot of rounds right so the k31
the Swiss
k31 there's the old Swiss logo
there okay just a nice rifle
solid and of course I got my Extender on
it but uh yeah a beauty a beauty how
come I don't get it out more
often well you know part of the answer
to that I have too many Firearms that's
part of the
answer so anyway
uh I will let you all go and again hope
you had a great uh fourth and
Independence
Day uh we're into July the 9th now
and uh it's funny I I like I did that
one several days early last week a few
days early then of course the fourth
wasn't until Tuesday and so I don't know
if I even talked about the fourth and
it's kind of where it it works out I'm a
few days away from some things that are
happening and I kind of forget about it
but I know you all didn't forget about
any of that U
yeah Independence Day it's a big one
there a lot of good good speeches on TV
and comments
and enough to give you some hope that
maybe like I said the pendulum is
beginning to swing back a little
bit and uh at least
with some
people uh I can still be a pessimist I'm
still afraid that a lot of a lot of
folks especially young people that they
they were not even introduced to the
constitution in in school elementary
middle or high school they're certainly
not likely to get introduced to it in
college right in a lot of colleges and
I'm afraid so many people just don't
have a respect uh for the country the
Constitution you know how different and
unique we are uh and it would probably
be maybe that's what we should do take
up a collection have a fund that we all
contribute to whatever we can that uh
that that uh provides travel and
expenses for every High School junior or
whatever to travel abroad to some we
could designate which countries we want
them to go to five or six different
countries and just experience what it's
like and then come home you know and uh
and take a civics class uh uh the day
they get back you know and uh maybe they
have a little more appreciation so
anyway that's my take on on things good
to see y'all uh I hope you didn't get
any ticks and I hope I didn't get any
ticks they don't just crawl up your legs
I spray the heck out of myself and with
Avon and everything but sometimes they
will just drop out of the tree and and
be on your shoulder you know get on your
arm okay now I don't live in deathly
fear of them I've had a lot of ticks
stuck on me over the years and I had one
about a week ago back of my leg you know
they started itching you know about a
couple hours after you know they get on
you and pulled him all yeah so I don't
know I ain't been killed yet by them um
I think they need to be on you stuck on
you for a while before they really pose
uh much of a threat uh in terms of lmes
or all the various things you might
catch from and you're not going to get
it from any old tick I mean it's it's
not like every single tick out there is
lethal as I understand and then you want
to just catch it early and they itch so
you're going to you're going to know
it's it's on you cuz at night you get in
bed and like that and I suspect it you
know if I got an itch on my leg or
something or my back I don't know that
feels because I know the feel I know the
type of itch I get and uh so I get up
and look and make sure it's not a tick
or make sure it is and get it off you
know so they're never on me very long if
I do get one and that's the way you know
you want to be you want to find them
early and get rid of them put them in
the
microwave I've actually done that before
don't tell anybody yeah so anyway I'll
let you go and uh quit admitting to
crazy things uh cuz you're all to tell
somebody life is good
