"Just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should."

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we’re chopping it up in Studio with our good friend and firearms instructor, Sean Martin, aka Pink Shirt Tactical. Big Keith and I dive into gun news, hot takes, and personal stories about hunting, fitness, current political drama, and of course, plenty of Second Amendment talk. We touch on recent matches like the Hero Down Shootout, discuss firearm law updates (like Hawaii’s Vampire Rule and the P320 issue in Chicago), and share some hilarious community stories—from kid obsessions with town councilmen to belt buckles for F-150 key fobs. We debate open carry “auditors,” government accountability, and even take a swipe at media soundbites. This episode’s a mix of laughs, strong opinions, and actionable insights for anyone who carries or is passionate about gun rights and personal responsibility.

• The firearms community needs to use good judgment—just because open-carry activism is legal doesn’t mean it’s always smart.
• Court decisions (like Hawaii’s Vampire Rule and the P320 recall in Chicago) are reshaping our rights—stay informed.
• Community involvement, whether with local elections or supporting pro-2A organizations, makes a difference.
• Don’t trust everything mainstream media says—question, verify, and use your own judgment.
• Fun and function can go together—even if you’re rocking a belt buckle for your F-150 keys.
