About this episode

"As citizens, we are in charge—especially when we take charge." Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chop it up with Second Amendment attorney Peter Tilem. We dive deep into current legal issues facing gun owners in New York, from storage laws to the controversial proposed Glock ban, and the latest challenges to sensitive location restrictions in neighboring New Jersey. We share relatable stories—like my shotgun shell reloading catastrophe—and get practical, word-for-word advice from Peter for handling police interactions. Plus, we taste-test several bourbons and whiskeys, review 1911 craftsmanship, and discuss the ongoing push-and-pull between government overregulation and personal freedoms. We even explore headline news topics, including proposed gun barrel regulations, marijuana users’ gun rights, and how policy changes are impacting veterans. Finally, we wrap up with our thoughts on government overreach—from NYC snow shoveling regulations to AI-grown babies in China. Call to Action1. Join our mailing list: Thegunexperiment.com2.
