The Gun Experiment

The Gun Experiment

thegunexperiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.

I love my Tupperware guns, but I have to admit that there is something special about a custom 1911. Kings River Customs just wrapped up their 1st collaboration with Master engraver Alex Surmak and it’s up on Instagram to check out. Obviously this type of work comes at a pretty high cost, but these guys put that same attention to detail in everything they do including their entry level PFG Model. We don’t want price to be the reason our listeners can’t get into one of their beautiful 1911’s; so from now till April 30th, email Matt and tell him you are interested in a Phoenix Fighting Gun and tell him that you want to apply the TGE10 discount you will get 10% off a Kings River Custom 1911 of your very own.

The one thing I know is things would be a lot worse without the Second Amendment Foundation. Not only are they great partners to us, they’re also the single most effective pro-gun rights group in the country and they’re fighting our battles in the courts day after day.  If you are not a member, I’m asking you to consider going to SAF.org and joining the fight today.  You can make a huge difference in securing the rights of future generations for as little as $25 a year.

Hey guys!  I couldn't find where on spotify to leave a review from this episode,  so I dropped it here.

I've been listening since day 1, your guests just keep getting better every episode so great job!  That being said, this has been my favorite episode hands down!  I have actually almost applied to be a warden in my state twice now, with the emphasis in trying to talk our dnr into starting a canine unit, hearing john talk about doing just that has made me want to do it even more now.  Once I'm closer to retiring from what I'm doing now, I'm definitely going to do it.  So thank you for bringing him on to talk!

P.S.  

Drink recommendation....have you ever tried a "Long Drink"?  It's a drink that came from Finland when they hosted the Olympics and wanted a national drink to give the athletes (go figure now they give them cardboard beds to dissuade fraternization lol)  that is gin, juniper berries, grapefruit, and carbonation.  They are so refreshing and light.  Everyone I have given one to has said it is the best thing they have tried in a long time, so next time you're at the store pick up a few cans to try out during the show.  Thanks again keep up the great work, and sorry you live in a commie state...
