Welcome back to the Nordic Components Talking Lead Show episode: TLP 185 Gary O'Neal American Warrior, Tactical Walls & Adventure Knives.  What an amazing 2017 SHOT Show Talking Lead had!

This week we have Legendary Army Ranger Gary O'Neal (also an Author and Semi-Pro Football Star, and all around Badass). Gary and Nate Love (Frontier Tactical) sit down with Lefty to talk a little bit about Gary's book "American Warrior: The True Story Of A Legendary Ranger".  From his first tour in Vietnam at seventeen (but it he was really 15)  to fighting in both Gulf wars, O'Neal was nothing less than a super soldier. A minefield of aggression bordering on a justice-seeking vigilante, O'Neal kept fighting even when wounded, refusing to surrender in the face of nine serious injuries and being left more than once. O'Neal earned countless military honors as a member of the elite Army Rangers corps, a founding member of the legendary first Department of Defense antiterrorist team, a member of the Golden Knights Parachuting Team, and more, devoting his life to training the next generation of soldiers. His unbelievable true stories are both shocking and moving, a reminder of what it means to be a true American hero.  Get Gary's book at Amazon.com

Then we have our good friend Tim of Tactical Walls joins use along with a new guest, Geoffrey Pawlaczyk of AdventureKnives.com.  Tactical Walls unveiled a new series of "hidden-in-plane-sight" table furniture at SHOT. Even Rob Pincus stopped by to give TW his endorsement.  Tactical Walls' concealment coffee tables, night tables and end tables are beautifully made with solid maple table tops and sleek lines. Once unlocked with the ease of an RFID key, your secretly stored cache is presented to you. Just like all of their products, the Tactical Walls Concealment Tables are handmade in the U.S.A. using U.S. sourced hardwood and U.S. sourced ABS plastic.  www.tacticalwalls.com
