"There’s value in self-sufficiency and the liberty to live as you choose"Episode Summary

In this episode, Mike and Big Keith team up for a classic solo roundtable, catching up on Keith’s hunting trip, swapping gear reviews, and diving deep into what responsible gun ownership looks like today. We get honest about New York’s latest gun laws, talk open carry from both tactical and freedom perspectives, dream about escaping restrictive states, and get real about fears—whether it’s government overreach or losing your favorite snacks. From AI gun detection fails to the latest in 2A legislation, it’s an episode full of candid takes, laughs, and practical information for gun owners, hunters, and anyone embracing dangerous freedom.

Key Takeaways

• Hunting trips are better with good company and quality gear—Nomad’s camo bibs and layering strategy worked for Big Keith
• Open carry is more than a legal question—it’s about tactical readiness and genuine responsibility.
• Ammo Squared works like forced savings, helping you stock up on the calibers you actually shoot, without the hassle.
• Magazine bans are starting to collapse nationally (at least in D.C.), setting hopeful precedent for other states.
• AI still struggles (hilariously) with Doritos and guns—emerging tech brings both safety and privacy concerns.
• Canadian gun ownership is under threat—even bolt-action rifles and shotguns aren’t safe.
• Escaping to a freer state means weighing 2A rights, taxes, four seasons, land options, and local politics.
• Sometimes, it’s the simple things—don’t take travel snacks, baby wipes, or mountain views for granted.
