The Gun Experiment

From Fireworks to Firearms: Fourth of July, Security, and American Values

"Everyone has a shot here. In America, your freedom—and what you do with it—is only limited by your own ambition and willingness to fight for what’s right."Episode Summary

On this special Independence Day episode of The Gun Experiment, we are chopping it up to celebrate America, gun rights, and what it truly means to pursue freedom in this country. We kicked off with some 4th of July spirit—yes Keith's American flag golf shirt did its job! Then, we caught up with our guest co-host, Evan Floodman of Floodmunitions Marketing, discussing everything from his growing business and fresh family news to the real-life importance of defending our rights.

We talked about the often-overlooked heroes from the American Revolution, the ongoing SIG P320 controversy, and honored some living legends in the gun community. We also got into the nitty-gritty about border security, controversial law changes, and what’s new in the world of firearms.

Whether we’re debating the untold sacrifices of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence or why every good citizen should consider body armor, it’s all here—highlights, hard truths, some laughs, and ways we can keep the 2A fight strong together. Freedom, responsibility, and opportunity are at the heart of this episode.
