The Gun Experiment

Firearm Legislation, Gun Owner Rights, and Political Pushback with Peter Tilem


Listen Later

"As citizens, we are in charge—especially when we take charge."

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chop it up with Second Amendment attorney Peter Tilem. We dive deep into current legal issues facing gun owners in New York, from storage laws to the controversial proposed Glock ban, and the latest challenges to sensitive location restrictions in neighboring New Jersey. We share relatable stories—like my shotgun shell reloading catastrophe—and get practical, word-for-word advice from Peter for handling police interactions. Plus, we taste-test several bourbons and whiskeys, review 1911 craftsmanship, and discuss the ongoing push-and-pull between government overregulation and personal freedoms. We even explore headline news topics, including proposed gun barrel regulations, marijuana users’ gun rights, and how policy changes are impacting veterans. Finally, we wrap up with our thoughts on government overreach—from NYC snow shoveling regulations to AI-grown babies in China.

    Key Takeaways

    • New York gun storage laws can be contradictory—safe storage may or may not comply depending on your county or city.

    • The proposed Glock ban (S.399A) is overboard and shows a lack of legislative understanding of firearm mechanics.

    • Second Amendment jurisprudence is rapidly evolving post-Bruen, with courts now demanding historical context for any gun regulation.

    • Marijuana users’ gun rights are being challenged at the Supreme Court, potentially reshaping federal restrictions.

    • The Colorado bill to regulate firearm barrels may lead to unintended consequences and further overreach.

    • Veterans Affairs is finally correcting past wrongs by no longer automatically reporting veterans with fiduciaries, protecting their gun rights.

    • If stopped by police, don’t consent to vehicle searches, be brief and factual if you’ve defended yourself with a firearm, and know your rights at all times.

    • Government regulation often extends beyond necessity—whether it’s snow shoveling in NYC or emerging AI technologies.
