Rick Rehm, trick shooter extraordinaire, stops by the Eagle Imports Talking Lead "Leadquarters" studio to talk about his wildly entertaining YouTube channel, shooter1721. Rick is a very talented trick shot artist using rimfire, centerfire, airguns but what makes Rick's channel even more entertaining is he performs amazing acts of precision with bladed instruments as well. Listen in as Rick talks about how he got started in Trick shooting and who his inspiration to be the best is.

Next up is author and 2nd Amendment advocate Yehuda Remer. Yehuda brings by his latest book titled SAFETY ON. SAFETY ON is a unique book catered to children that delves into the subject of proper gun safety protocol as well as teaching kids what to do if they find a firearm somewhere it is not supposed to be. Whether you own a gun or not, whether you are pro-gun or anti-gun, gun safety is not something to be taken lightly.

Country Music recording artist Lacey Caroline talks about her new EP release and MSE Worldwide introduces the Life Jacket gun lock. The Talking Lead Jackwagon Train has a load to haul off this week as well!

This week's Jackwagon Train was much needed. The dancing FBI agent definitely earns his seat on the TLJWT. A "mountain man" has his day in court to explain why he we fishing without a license...whos the Jackwagon here, the Judge or the Mountain Man?

Alan Teichelman of MSE Worldwide stops by the Eagle Imports "Leadquarters" during the 2018 NRAAM to tell us about the Life Jacket. The Life Jacket provides a safe secure storage option for your pistol during transportation. It provides full action coverage and a heavy-duty locking mechanism that impeds tortuous attempts to break it.

The Life Jacket is designed to be mounted wherever you need quick access: in closets, under a bed, in an automobile or your motorcycle. When mounted properly, the Life Jacket device becomes a virtual gun safe, without the bulky size and allows you the quick access you need, when you need it.

Josh Van Heusen, former Army Ranger Medic, joins the show next. Josh brings his field experience in designing his gear. Using a bungee cord retention system with his kydex magazine holsters sets Wilder apart from others you've seen. By implementing the bungee system their holsters are flexible for use with magazines, first aid equipment, walkies/radios, handcuffs, pepper spray or even recording devices. Wilder's articulating drop leg holster system moves when you move or bend. Compatible with most holster manufacturers. Their low profile belt systems features vertical laser-cut slots that accommodate ANY belt (up to 1.75"). The textured neoprene interior creates a comfortable non-slip system that eliminates the need for a velcro inner Belt.

2. provides enhanced gripping steps on your oversized base pad to make sure you have a solid grip on the gun while shooting and an improved purchase should you need to deal with a malfunction.
3. features an enhanced profile which helps your empty 8 round magazine to drop free, ensuring that your reloads will be as fast and efficient as possible.
