TLP 242 The Sodini, Abe & Moe, Geissele & NRAAM

Welcome back to another loaded episode of the Talking Lead Podcast Lead Heads!  This week Lefty's co-host is Mike Sodini, President of Eagle Imports.  Eagle will be the "Official Leadquarters" for the 147th NRA Annual Meetings in Dallas.  Mike and Lefty talk about all the exciting and fun events, giveaways and interviews they have planned for NRAAM.  The Talking Lead Jackwagon Train screams in to haul off a big load of Jackwagons.  Guest this week is Diego Muya with Geissele Automatics.  Diego joins the show to talk about Geissele's new complete uppers, SSP single stage trigger and introduces us to a new knife company called Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment.

The Talking Lead Jackwagon Train

The Gunny can't wait to haul off this week's bunch of Jackwagons on the TLJWT.  First up; Nashville, TN (Lefty's neck of the woods) had a mass murder by a complete nut-job at a Waffle House.  The firearm he used was previously taken from him by the FBI but his father gave it back to him, WTF!?  Mike and Lefty talk details about it.  Joining the Waffle House nut-job is the acting Mayor of Nashville, TN David Briely because of his leftist mentality of "never let a crisis go to waste" using this tragedy, blatantly, as a platform for his mayoral election campaign.   Mike's friend Mindy Robinson actress, model and huge 2A proponent (girlfriend of Randy Couture) has been going head-to-head with a hollywood-socialite-butterfly-social-media-troll, Lysa Heslov.  Find out what happens!

Geissele Uppers and Abraham and Moses Knives

 There is no such thing as too much Diego.  Diego Muya joins us at two different events to keep us updated on all the great new products Geissele Automatics is offering.  Don't miss the new complete upper by Geissele called the URGI or their new Super Speed Precision single stage triggers.  Diego tells us all about them during the 2018 SHOT Show at the Kel Tec booth.

TLP 240 No Other Choice

Welcome back to the Talking Lead Show Lead Heads!  This episode's special guest is Kevin Dixie owner of No Other Choice (NOC) Firearms Training.

Lefty and Kevin start of the show having a good time throwing Jackwagons on the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train.  This episode's TLJWT is dedicated to crazy chicks.  That thug-wanna-be facebook live chick in Texas that shot her friend in the head, the crazy exercise chick that shot up the YouTube headquarters because they censored her account and that whinny, cowardly, disrespectful,  child-puppet chick from Parkland Florida David Hogg.

Since this is Kevin's first time on the show of course Lefty hits him with the Talking Lead New Guy Questions.  As we find out more about Kevin we also learn more about N.O.C. in the process.  N.O.C. Firearms Training is much more than a firearms and self-defense training company; they are a change agent for all communities.  N.O.C.  provides a much-needed sledge-hammer to break down barriers to get all good people to understand that freedom, prosperity, and liberty is for ALL;   N.O.C. executes this by promotion and preservation of the Second Amendment and will do all we can to make sure our freedoms to be armed remains intact.  “We are more than guns; we are a community”

Aiming For The Truth

Another great initiative Kevin has started is  "Aiming For The Truth".  "Aiming for the Truth"  helps enrich lives to grow equity. Once people have equity, it's easy to teach them to defend it. This is the platform that has been missing from our communities including the 2A community. "The goal is to show people we care about them and can relate to their struggles, assist, invest, and then of course hold people accountable for their actions moving forward." "We have to do more than say guns are cool, Merica, and bacon! If we want to win the fight, we have to invest in lives! The most important capital is HUMAN capital!"

TLP 238 RUNENATION, Carbon Fiber Barrels & 3D Suppressors

Welcome back to the Talking Lead Podcast episode TLP 238.  This episode we have special guests John Aaron Jones with Thermal Defense Solutions, Ian Strimbeck with Runenation, Adam Kraut with The Gun Collective and Darrel with Tactical Kinetics.

The Legal Brief Guy & The Barrel Guys:

Tactical Kinetics, aka "The Barrel Guys", is bringing a carbon fiber barrel to the market.  Weighing in at 8 ounces with an 850 degree plus fail heating point where most others crap out around 650 degrees.

Adam Kraut talks to us about his upcoming run for the National Rifle Association board.  You can find out more about Adam and why you should vote for him at www.adamkraut.com

RUNENATION LLC & Thermal Defense Solutions:

Ian Strimbeck joins Lefty to talk about his new company Runenation LLC.   Ian is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.  During that time he attained experience in combat and security operations and held every position in a fire team from SAW Gunner to Team Leader.  Runenation is a consulting and education company specializing in the constant growth of the multidisciplinary tactician.

Wrapping up this episode we have John Aaron Jones representing Thermal Defense Solutions.  TDS uses the physics-based approach of making suppressors through the use of advanced 3D modeling and simulation tools. By using this approach, TDS can not only predict, but manipulate the speed and direction of expanding gases throughout a suppressor.  The result is suppressors with complex designs that are not always feasible to produce through traditional manufacturing methods.

Welcome back to the Talking Lead Podcast!  This week we talk...a lot!  Guests this week include Chad Enos of Kel-Tec, Chuck LaRue of LaRue Carbon, Josh & Ron of Ryker USA, Jim & Annaliese Erwin Professional Hunters.  Make sure you listen to the entire show because we announce a couple of lucky Lead Heads that will get some cool swag!

With all the unease from the recent school massacre in Parkland Florida we had to break the Talking Lead code of not talking politics.  Lefty invites Chad Enos and Chuck LaRue to join in and discuss the chaos that has ripped through our country about firearms and our Constitutional, and specifically our Second Amendment, Rights. ...  but not before The Gunny ushers in the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train.  This episode the TLJW Train gets loaded up with " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baseball players, Wal-Mart, Kroger and Big Ole Dick's!

LaRue Carbon

Chuck LaRue has developed a new super lightweight and durable carry case using carbon fiber.  Called the CarbonBox it is absolutely the lightest, strongest and most stylish case on the market.  After years of studying the market, it was easy to see the selection of cases are all too similar. Why not have a case that is as original as the owner and their tools?  LaRue Carbon's CarbonBox gives you the security, the strength and just as important the style to transport your equipment.

Ryker USA

Ron & Josh drop by the Kel-Tec Leadquarters during the 2018 SHOT Show to tell us about their innovative product.  The Ryker FIST Grip is the first in a new class of side mounted, forward grips. It is biomechanically optimized that has been proven on the battlefield and on the range. By offsetting the operator’s support hand, Ryker FIST Grip enables the shooter to engage targets faster and move naturally. The Ryker FIST Grip is engineered and developed with the input and support of Special Operations Professionals, Special Operations Physicians, Law Enforcement Professionals, and Professional Competitive Shooters.

The Kraken and the Huntress Divine

Jim & Annaliese Erwin join Chad and Lefty at the Kel-Tec Leadquarters during the 2018 SHOT Show to talk about some amazing hunts.
