And lastly, we talk about how inflation is affecting gun owners and many people's inability to accept the fact prices are going up to stay.   On that same note, Grey Man Tactical is slashing prices to help their customers deal with this inflation.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the LSLF Podcast, the show where we talk about whatever tickles our Freedom bone!  This week on the show, Box decides to mix every single whiskey we've ever tried into one glass and calls it the yard sale.  It's not as bad as you may think, but it does end up creating an interesting rest of the show.  We talk about Biden creating the Misinformation Governance Board, and we all, especially Johnson, has one heck of an issue with it.  Then we chat a little about Elon taking over Twitter and the ridiculous response to it. We also mention the recent leak from the Supreme Court and the ramifications.  And finally Box thinks we need to do better addressing people who say "I support the 2nd Amendment, but...."

Welcome to Episode 55 of Gears n Beers, the live segment of the LSLF Podcast, where we talk about gear we love, gear we hate, industry news and whatever else trips our Freedom triggers!  Tonight we talk about the CAA Agada rifle, with a totally new way to hold a rifle, and quite frankly we think it's a bit ridiculous.  Then we talk a little bit about vein recognition, as opposed to traditional fingerprint scanners on gun safes. The ATF admits in their most recent "ruling" that ARs are one of the most common rifles in America.  And according to the Heller Supreme Court decision, they've made it clear that "commonly used firearms" are covered by the 2nd Amendment.  And we quickly cover the acting ATF director being demoted. Our main topic is the Government is Not Your Babbysitter!  And we close out with talking about the Army's new choice for carbine rifles and machineguns from Sig Sauer.

Then we have a conversation about "radicals."  What is a radical, and who are they really?  Are we radicals?  Turns into a great conversation.  Then we talk a little about Mike Tyson punching a guy on an airplane and we come to the conclusion, many times people need to be punched in the face.  And lastly, we close out the episode by talking about all the Russian oligarchs who just happen to committing suicide. Crazy winds, was it like depression foot shortages, burning plants? self suffiency, setting up community who's actually the radicals? some people need slapped in the face russian oligarchs committing suicide

Welcome to episode 78 of the LSLF podcast!  Sam was at a stag party the previous night, drank a lot of whisky, played some blackjack, and has a few observations about gambling.  Somehow, the conversation turns to electric cars and how the US has now taken away the requirement of driver controls on vehicles, opening the door to fully automated cars.   And it wouldn't be a LSLF podcast without something like our last topic, where we talk about a killer camel, which naturally leads to a conversation about what camel meat would taste like, and we check out the "exotic meat market dot com" to look into getting some for ourselves.

Then we lighten it up a bit, as we talk about scientists who've made some 'robots' that are self reproducing, and question not if, but when, AI will destroy humans., and the topic gets quite interesting!  Lastly, we talk about why everyone hates Nickelback(let's face it, they got the shaft) and of course our Weird News segment, which is pretty shitty.   Pun intended.   5:50 2 Gingers Whiskey of the Week  11:07 Canadian Freedom Convoy 20:17 San Jose taxes gun owners 36:55 CRS Firearms arrested 47:37 Reproducing Robots 1:00:56 Nickelback 1:09:22 Weird News

Welcome to episode 74 of the LSLF Podcast, the podcast where we talk all things Freedom!  Our Whiskey of the Week this week is Larceny, a 92 proof straight bourbon whiskey.  We sip on that as we chat about the Supreme Court shooting down Biden's mandate of any businesses over 100 people requiring vaccinations and we question how we've gotten to this point as a country that it was even an option.  The Signal app is an encrypted messaging and phone call app, and they're debating adding anonymous cyrpto payments, but of course the govt wants to outlaw that.  But on a bright note, six more states are pushing for permitless carry of firearms, which would put over half the country under constitutional carry.  And we end the show talking about why it seems they're are so many more concealed carry/offensive type classes as compared to home defense classes.   7.55 Whiskey of the week, Larceny  17:17 Supreme court shoots down vaccine mandate  36.08 Six more states for Constitutional Carry this year? 54.05 Signal and encryption 1.04.55 Home Defense vs Carry Classes
