So it's, 842 00:30:07,509 --> 00:30:08,809 It's 1 of those things where 843 00:30:09,349 --> 00:30:10,470 you can take it for granted f, 844 00:30:11,670 --> 00:30:13,109 if you've been around for a while, but 845 00:30:13,109 --> 00:30:15,281 think about the new person and how they 846 00:30:15,281 --> 00:30:17,113 could definitely take advantage of, 847 00:30:17,989 --> 00:30:21,175 being able being able to, your expertise. And 848 00:30:21,175 --> 00:30:23,166 then, again, they're bringing a certain level expertise. 849 00:30:23,499 --> 00:30:24,536 A look at something and say, hey. 850 00:30:25,414 --> 00:30:27,908 For somebody in my demographic, I don't 851 00:30:28,285 --> 00:30:30,359 identify with a, you know, with an ad 852 00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:31,417 like that or 853 00:30:31,794 --> 00:30:33,881 identify with, you know, how you are binding 854 00:30:33,881 --> 00:30:35,943 guns, and that's where again.

About things. You know, the people 864 00:30:52,889 --> 00:30:54,883 that are anti gun, you probably aren't gonna 865 00:30:54,883 --> 00:30:57,116 reach them, but those other groups, you need 866 00:30:57,116 --> 00:30:59,110 to have a way of approaching them as 867 00:30:59,110 --> 00:31:01,515 besides going alone, saying, hey, You know, it's... 868 00:31:01,991 --> 00:31:04,138 Got a 44 magnum the most powerful handgun 869 00:31:04,138 --> 00:31:06,204 in the world.

Absolutely. 872 00:31:11,313 --> 00:31:13,471 And and there is, you know, I hate 873 00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:14,829 to put it like this, but there's a 874 00:31:14,829 --> 00:31:17,227 lot of correction that that needs to be 875 00:31:17,227 --> 00:31:20,038 done and is being done in the gun 876 00:31:20,038 --> 00:31:20,915 community. Right? 877 00:31:21,633 --> 00:31:24,185 And I think that there's been a huge 878 00:31:24,185 --> 00:31:26,498 shift, and Brian Hill talked about this in 879 00:31:26,498 --> 00:31:27,854 in a class that I took with him 880 00:31:28,173 --> 00:31:30,578 last year, but there's been huge shifts that 881 00:31:30,578 --> 00:31:32,407 have been phenomenal. Like he said, when I 882 00:31:32,407 --> 00:31:33,442 first started instructing, 883 00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:36,328 like, no no 1 had AAA 884 00:31:36,479 --> 00:31:38,550 medical plan or a trauma kit on the 885 00:31:38,550 --> 00:31:40,940 range. It just wasn't something that people talked 886 00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:43,569 about. And he said now every single range 887 00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:45,561 that I go to to teach a class, 888 00:31:46,053 --> 00:31:48,121 They've not only got a trauma kit there, 889 00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:50,824 but almost every student has a trauma kit 890 00:31:50,824 --> 00:31:53,050 in in more advanced classes. Mh. And then 891 00:31:53,050 --> 00:31:55,569 they have a an advanced medical plan of 892 00:31:55,689 --> 00:31:57,038 you know, how to get someone out if 893 00:31:57,038 --> 00:31:59,182 they're injured where the closest hospital is all 894 00:31:59,182 --> 00:32:01,247 those things. And so things like that need 895 00:32:01,247 --> 00:32:03,073 to be changed. They need to be talked 896 00:32:03,073 --> 00:32:03,573 about 897 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,026 and and, you know, like, like, we talked 898 00:32:06,026 --> 00:32:08,566 about before? Safe h? What type of h 899 00:32:08,566 --> 00:32:08,963 to buy, 900 00:32:09,757 --> 00:32:11,345 you know, how to do things safely, 901 00:32:11,901 --> 00:32:12,719 what other 902 00:32:13,028 --> 00:32:14,778 items you need to carry like a trauma 903 00:32:14,778 --> 00:32:17,403 kit like Oc spray, things like that that 904 00:32:17,403 --> 00:32:18,834 that like you said, you're always gonna have 905 00:32:18,834 --> 00:32:20,186 those people that are like, well, I've got 906 00:32:20,186 --> 00:32:22,112 a gun on me.

And so I think that there 910 00:32:29,369 --> 00:32:32,484 is a huge need for education to be 911 00:32:32,484 --> 00:32:34,941 done, and and it's those exact people that 912 00:32:34,941 --> 00:32:36,843 are not gonna pay for classes because they 913 00:32:36,843 --> 00:32:37,953 think they know everything. 914 00:32:38,604 --> 00:32:40,118 That they may not pay for a class, 915 00:32:40,278 --> 00:32:42,031 but they they will click on a Youtube 916 00:32:42,031 --> 00:32:42,531 video 917 00:32:42,988 --> 00:32:45,619 to gain some more information. And so getting 918 00:32:45,619 --> 00:32:49,449 that information out as instructors as to advocates 919 00:32:49,449 --> 00:32:50,560 is so crucial. 920 00:32:51,434 --> 00:32:51,934 And 921 00:32:52,545 --> 00:32:54,767 1 of big advantages if you can reach 922 00:32:54,767 --> 00:32:55,775 them with a 923 00:32:56,212 --> 00:32:57,407 Youtube video Youtube short. 924 00:32:58,363 --> 00:33:00,752 Maybe they might see the advantage of come 925 00:33:00,752 --> 00:33:02,742 into 1 of year classes. So again, it's 926 00:33:02,742 --> 00:33:04,357 it's 1 of those to where 927 00:33:04,669 --> 00:33:05,726 you can do a 928 00:33:06,342 --> 00:33:07,878 video now that 929 00:33:08,414 --> 00:33:10,166 maybe only has a few views, but all 930 00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:11,680 of a sudden, you know, 6 months down 931 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,593 the road.

And allows me to 1002 00:35:34,795 --> 00:35:37,054 know that I'm making a difference in the 1003 00:35:37,194 --> 00:35:38,074 world of instructing. 1004 00:35:38,568 --> 00:35:40,711 Yeah. That's awesome. It's awesome. 1005 00:35:41,584 --> 00:35:43,568 Well, hey, Well, we've been asking all our 1006 00:35:43,568 --> 00:35:46,766 season 7 people special question, and that is 1007 00:35:47,313 --> 00:35:48,743 What do you do with for your mental 1008 00:35:48,743 --> 00:35:49,617 health every day? 1009 00:35:50,491 --> 00:35:52,637 Yeah. Absolutely. That's a great question. 1010 00:35:53,431 --> 00:35:54,328 And I do 1011 00:35:54,878 --> 00:35:57,590 2 things every single day, that I'll mention. 1012 00:35:58,068 --> 00:35:59,983 And it's how I start every day. And 1013 00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:01,817 the first is that when I get up, 1014 00:36:01,976 --> 00:36:03,651 the first thing I do is I sit 1015 00:36:03,651 --> 00:36:05,180 down with my book coffee, and I have 1016 00:36:05,180 --> 00:36:07,250 my time along with God. And that's my 1017 00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:08,762 time before I get on my phone before 1018 00:36:08,842 --> 00:36:10,593 I check my email before I tech check 1019 00:36:10,753 --> 00:36:13,159 Youtube stats, anything like that. I sit down 1020 00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:14,677 and I read the word and I pray, 1021 00:36:14,837 --> 00:36:16,115 and I talked to him about what's going 1022 00:36:16,115 --> 00:36:17,793 on in my life. And then the second 1023 00:36:17,793 --> 00:36:19,871 thing that I do immediately after that is 1024 00:36:19,951 --> 00:36:21,070 I write a letter to my wife. 1025 00:36:21,723 --> 00:36:24,434 And sometimes it's couple paragraphs. Sometimes it's a 1026 00:36:24,434 --> 00:36:26,907 couple sentences. But it's always something to tell 1027 00:36:26,907 --> 00:36:28,820 her what she means to me, how much 1028 00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:30,255 I appreciate what she does. 1029 00:36:31,067 --> 00:36:33,137 And those 2 things set my day in 1030 00:36:33,137 --> 00:36:35,444 the right direction. Right? Because everything else is 1031 00:36:35,444 --> 00:36:37,593 is secondary to that. Even my kids are 1032 00:36:37,593 --> 00:36:39,917 secondary to My job is secondary to that. 1033 00:36:40,076 --> 00:36:42,862 My my audience is secondary to that. So 1034 00:36:42,862 --> 00:36:44,772 that's how I start every day with God 1035 00:36:44,772 --> 00:36:46,340 and then writing a letter to her 1036 00:36:46,778 --> 00:36:48,930 that really helps get my head on straight 1037 00:36:48,930 --> 00:36:50,284 and moving in the right direction. 1038 00:36:51,002 --> 00:36:53,016 Mh. Yep. By those 1039 00:36:56,835 --> 00:36:58,611 that's very good because 1040 00:36:58,988 --> 00:37:00,981 it's easy for us to take... And take, 1041 00:37:01,141 --> 00:37:02,257 our spouses for granted. 1042 00:37:03,148 --> 00:37:03,624 And 1043 00:37:04,736 --> 00:37:06,880 yeah, that's good. I don't do that, but 1044 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,967 maybe I should. I but 1045 00:37:10,134 --> 00:37:12,454 I I could...
