1:41
So, you know, they'll get all their little goodies that comes along with joining through a facility
1:46
Sounds good. So, Johnny, tell me a little bit about why you support the Second Amendment
1:53
I thank the good Lord every day that I was born in the area that I was raised in
1:58
I grew up with guns. You know, I've loved to hunt, loved fish, and outdoors
2:05
And I've just seen over the years how our government has just constantly just chipped away
2:10
and chipped away at our freedoms and our rights whenever it comes to guns. You know, this afternoon I was just looking at the Internet and some of the states and the way they're doing things
2:20
New York, for example. Oh, yeah. And it's just insane what they're thinking is, you know, South Carolina, we can, as long as we can legally
2:28
purchase a weapon, we can get a handgun. We can get a permit to carry that gun. New York
2:35
you got to sit there and prove to them you got some reason that you need to be protected And unless you law enforcement it impossible There just no way They will on occasions give it to a gun owner or somebody who transporting money and stuff but the average citizen there just no way they going to
2:53
get a permit. And, you know, you've got other states that's the same way. You know, I refer to those
3:00
as the communist states, but, you know, it just irates me deathlessly our government take those
3:07
rights away from us. And then when we look at statistics from those states, you know, it just irateches
3:11
they're the ones to have the highest crime rate. Right. I mean, I personally was robbed in Chicago
3:16
So, you know, it just goes to show you the states that have the most strict gun laws are the ones that's going to have the most crime
3:25
Yeah. And the gun control lobby always tries to say that the more guns you have, the more the crimes going to go up
3:34
But if you actually look at the statistics, it's just the opposite. as the number of guns, gun owners go up, and crime usually goes down
3:43
Exactly. So the new law that we've got open carry with training
3:48
What do you think about that? Well, I'm excited about open carry with training
3:54
The actual open carry doesn't really appeal to me. I'm one of those that I like the element of surprise, so I personally will not be carrying open
4:05
but you know and Shane Martin and I had some very deep discussions about this whenever they were pushing this bill through
4:15
and then his intention was not for South Carolina to be the Wild Wild West
4:22
Everybody walking around with guns hanging off their hips. You know what that you know it does give us that right to do that if we choose to carry that way
4:29
but what it does it decriminalizes me walking into Walmart and reaching up on the top shelf
4:35
and my gun become invisible. Or I step out of my car
4:40
and when I step out, my seatbelt's got my shirt up over my gun
4:44
and it becomes visible. You know, those time things, it has decriminalized
4:49
But as far as the freedom part, I think that is a huge move toward, you know
4:55
showing that South Carolina, you know, we are to a state. And then the other thing that I really love about that law
5:04
is the fact that they put in making us a sanctuary state
5:07
Right. You know, our government can go and do whatever they want to as far as trying to control
5:13
our guns, but at least we're not going to use any state funding to help enforce that. Right
5:19
So we've got that extra little bit of protection that's going to help us when the federal
5:25
government starts getting even crazier with the gun laws that they trying to pass What kind of guns are some of your favorite guns What kind of stuff do you like to shoot Well I always been a Glock person
5:41
I do own guns other than Glock, but Glock has been my favorite
5:47
I guess I got that from law enforcement days. I saw how reliable those weapons were
5:53
I'll be honest with you, whenever I first started as a reserve officer
5:57
We were carrying revolvers 3.57 with 38 special rounds. So when we started carrying a Glock, I freaked out because now I'm carrying a gun
6:08
don't have a safety on it, and it just scared me to death. But once I got training and I learned what it takes to make that gun fire and how safe it is
6:18
and the abuse you can put it through, I became a true believer
6:23
So Glock is my favorite weapon. Yeah. But what caliber you like to shoot? Well, on a daily basis, I carry the model 43
6:32
I like it because it's slim, it's lightweight. I barely know that I have it on
6:37
But I also have the 48X. And so with the 48X and the 43, I now have a 43X because all I got to do is take the top off of one
6:49
putting on the other one. So now I actually got three guns and two. And then as far as plinking and practicing
6:57
I've got the Glock Model 44, which is the 22 caliber. Yep
7:01
And I really like it. And I use that for a lot of my practice
7:07
and then I'll go back to my 9mm just so I can stay used to the recoil
7:11
Okay. Good deal. Well, why don't we take a break from the inside here then
7:17
and we'll go out and let you demonstrate the shooting ability. Okay, great
7:23
This is my Glock 48X, and this is my 43. And like I was talking earlier, one of the things I like about this, you know, the 43 is about three-quarters-knit shorter than your 48X
7:39
Right. You got a little bit long because you got a 10-round capacity versus 7
7:44
Yep. But again, the other thing, if I want to carry the shorter weapon and have my 10-round capacity, I just pop the top off of this one, take this one, put it on, and it worked just
7:57
same. The 48 will actually shoot on top of the 43 and it shoots well but it looks kind of a funny
8:04
when you've got the longer barrel sitting on that little short frame. But it does work. Okay, good deal
8:09
Okay Good deal Good shooting
8:31
So that was the 48. That was the 48. Okay. You want to see it run into 43, see how we're doing it. it
8:44
Not a sharp shooter, but I don't think they would live
8:58
No, I don't think they'd have much chance of surviving after that
9:03
And then this is another favorite one of my two for practicing
9:12
the 22, it's the Glock Model 44. Now one thing I have found about on this Glock 44
9:24
when you load it, every round you let off the spring. If you pull it down and there's drop them in, it will jam every time
9:35
The other amazing thing about this one is the number of rounds you can push through it before it
9:41
push through it before it malfunctioned. Yeah. I've got some of the 22s and when I get up, you know, 100, 200 rounds, it's going to start
9:49
jamming and misfiring over and over. This one I decided I was going to push it one day and see just how many rounds I could go
9:55
through and I got close to a thousand rounds before I had my first misfire
9:59
Good gracious. Now I was using good ammo. Right. Yeah. But I still got up to about a thousand rounds before I got, had my first miss fire. Yeah
10:08
Now what's the capacity on this magazine? Ten rounds. Those little 22s are just such great guns to be able to practice with
10:29
They are. I love them. I do. They are so much fun
10:34
And you don't break the bank when you're trying, when you're shooting them. Yeah
10:39
Of course, they are a lot more expensive than it were. a year ago. Right. And fortunately, you can find rounds full now when you couldn't before
10:48
Just limited. I mean, you can buy when you do. Yep. That's it. Well, Johnny, thanks for showing us your collection here
