A couple of weeks ago, we shot a YouTube video about the history of firearms technology, with the help of Ethan Yazel from ilovemuzzleloading.com. The final video is more about freedom, gun control, and the Assault Weapon Ban of 2022 than flintlocks, but it got us a lot more interested in owning and shooting old-school weapons.

This conversation between Isaac and Ethen is a longer deep dive into the world of muzzleloaders, both old and new, and all the folks in the muzzleloading community who are working on developing a lot of more foundational skills.

With so much attention being focused on Federal laws, the Supreme Court, and the current President's administration, it's easy to forget about local politics. Grant Henry, a private Tennessee lobbyist, comes on the show to talk about why he is very deliberately working at the state level. Even if our national lawmakers weren't out completely out of control, the local level is where the real responsibilities lie.
