Do yourself a favor if you're ever in the Springfield Missouri area and see the original and largest bass pro store and the National Shooting Sports Firearms Museum located within, it is quite impressive
I've killed so many days. LOL...Hi John, Gareth Ball from New Zealand, AKA Gareth Ball from Twitter. We are the true fans of you and you're channels, the twitters and the ASP Extra's... God bless your family, and your channel good sir
When I was a kid, we had a Bass Pro mega store just a few minutes from the house, so I spent a lot of time there. Also, I'm a huge Dave Ramsey fan, and I have always and will always wear a silicone ring. ;)
One of the reason you'll see a lot of Hornady at that Bass Pro Shop (I go there when I visit my in-laws) is that Hornady is based in Grand Island, NE which is only a few hours away.
Oh man, this video makes me weep - Bass Pro in Tampa yesterday July 14 2020 - NOT ONE pistol or box of ammo in the whole store 😞 I don’t think we’ll ever see it stocked like this video again John.
My first firearm purchase was from cabelas. M&P Shield performance center 9mm. That was back when the XDS, Shield and 43 were all the hype. It’s crazy how much gas changed in just a few years.
I used to work in a place like this, and while I did my best to have the best information on defensive shooting I could, I can’t say my co-workers did.
I remember going to a Dave Ramsey seminar when I was younger. I’m 30 yrs old and have never had a credit card or debt. I spend all my money on guns but it’s cash up front! Most guns only go up in value.
I get my cargo pants at la police gear. Classic cargos are about $17.00 Ross or Marshalls always have nice button up shirts for concealment around $10.00 to $15.00
$56,500 doesn't include Total Cost of Ownership during the 15 year loan term! After just 2-3 years it will be a different kind of B.O.A.T.... "Bring Out Another Thousand!" for maintenance.
AR 15s of any type aren't allowed in my Bass Pro Shops in San Jose, California. The rifle laws here are so onerous that Bass Pro won't even allow you to bring in your rifle to have a scope mounted on it because its a "dangerous weapon." Show me a weapon that isn't dangerous, but its Crazy California.
JAMES COOPER - That's why I saw such a sparse selection of rifles... I was glad when I saw the Bass Pro Shops being built by Alamaden Expressway and CA SR-85. They don't have gun-shop variety, but it's always nice to have more options to buy guns and ammo.
I live in San Bernardino, Ca and have my CCW and my Bass Pro shop has tons of AR-15’s and are willing to mount your scope when you buy an AR! When I got my CCW they talked all kinds of 💩 about San Francisco and that area and how strict it is up there and there stupid rules and regulations!! I suggest moving brother!! Sorry I didn’t mean to rub it in! Happy shooting! Oh wait you can’t! My bad! 🤭😝😝😝
This was fun. Shopping with Jon. I had a thought that you could do this virtually with us - screen casting to different websites and showing us what you’d buy, etc. I’d love to see more on grey-man life. I wear a suit or blazer everyday so how do I grey-man that, etc. Be well #prayers.
@Smokey Bear have you read a book recently? Like, oh...I dunno...the best selling book series of the 21st century perhaps? 7 of the top 21 sellers in individual books in the 21st century? Try there. Might find something. As for Gun Culture 1.0 vs 2.0, perhaps a quick Google search is in order. gunculture2point0.wordpress.com/about/
I love Bass Pro Shops! Being 19, I appreciate that they still sell ammo to those under 21 (unlike Dick's Sporting Goods). I also took my Hunter's Safety course at one of their stores, it was very informative. I still remember everything the instructors taught me that day.
Noob shooter here. I just purchased my first pistol (Walther PPQ) from BassPro on 5/30. Their pistol selection was a bit underwhelming but they were $100 cheaper than Scheels. I’ll check them first when it’s time to pick up the VP9.
They did have a few lcr's and some other low-end revolvers, but for a hunting-oriented shop you'd think they'd have some of the heavy artillery revolvers if they carry a lot of Ruger.
I just love bass pro shops! (All the cool stuff!) Hey John i am pretty sure every guy wants to buy a boat at one time or other. Buddy I can tell you from experience buying my boat was the best day of my life! Woohoo! After owning it for 4 years, spending lots of money on upkeep it was time to sell. My boat was in excellent shape so it sold on the first weekend that was the second happiest day of my life! Still Happy!
Thanks for your service! The Hornady factory is in Grand Island Ne, that could be why they have a lot of there ammo. I appreciated your rant the other day, I will get the book you held up in the video, I do not have all of the answers but I'm trying. I want to protect my family and myself as best I can. Thanks for your videos!👍👍🙂🙂
Andrew Gutierrez stopped in the first few layers of the high-tech fleece backstop, consistently demonstrating excellent expansion and maximum damage to our orange lung tissue!!
I had an interesting perspective on ammunition given to me. Maybe you can tell me what you think. I carry golden saber which I understand is not necessarily the best defensive round but..... in a defensive shooting if you are found to be carrying something like rip, or other more technical rounds the perception of a jury or a police officer is that you were strictly speaking intending to kill your target rather than "stop the threat" the reason I chose golden saber is it is one of the few defensive rounds that police officers are allowed to carry. So the answer to a jury or a police officer or a prosecuting attorney's questions could include the fact that you didn't carry any ammunition that the police can't carry.....? I mean to be realistic in any defensive shooting you were going to spend time in jail until they sort it out, this isn't the movies. So the easier you can make the process on a police officer in terms of questions to be answered I suppose the less time you will spend in jail.....? What do you think does that make sense?
Prior to this I carried so much more technical ammunition, and I always figured that if I had to deploy my weapon in defense of my life that I would be around to answer any questions afterwards but seeing what a litiginous Society we live in and seeing the rise of defensive Shooters being prosecuted and used as an example of why the Second Amendment needs to be repealed kind of changed my perspective. I don't want to do anything to make some gun grabbing douchebags point-of-view more "valid". And I say that with a huge amount of Dripping sarcasm because their point of view is completely invalid and if they think taking away law-abiding citizens weapons is a great idea they should look at the UK and Australia and the rise of other violent crimes which include the fact that in Australia there are four times as many rapes and violent assaults as there were before they grabbed guns. And the fact that in the UK there have been 4700 fatal stabbings in 2018 alone and their crime in comparison to the US has risen astronomically to the point where there are approximately 120 times more violent assaults than there are here in the US ...... which proves a point that has been valid since the beginning of time across every predatory species on this planet. Predators don't like prey that can fight back and injure them. Therefore there are more likely to attack something that they perceive to be helpless. And that's true of any species not just humans. Ps..... the mayor of London is now putting forth laws to ban knives and has said in the public Arena on video that there is " absolutely no reason why a member of the public should be carrying a knife".....
I don’t know how I’m just finding this video but thanks John! I’m sitting here on Labor Day needing to go get some smallmouth and crappie lures for an upcoming fishing excursion with a work buddy and I have been trying to decide what to hit-Cabela’s, Field and Stream, Gander Mountain, so you’ve just provided me with another possibility to go spend money that I shouldn’t be spending. Thanks!!! (I guess?) 😂. Hope you and yours have a great holiday.
I was @ a big 5 in California and I was looking for a 10rd magpul AK mag. I asked this really old guy working the gun counter if they were in stock who insisted “you can’t buy them and “AK mags are illegal”. I found the mags there a couple weeks later....
If you don't mind second hand shirts. Thrift stores like Goodwill are a good option to consider if you really want to save. I have found a few good quality shirts in these places under $5/per shirt
I went prowling around Bass Pro Shop for some 12ga ammunition before. I wasn't expecting to find a lot of duty ammo, but what I find funny is they didn't carry any tactical slugs like Federal TruBall but I found 3 1/2" Magnum 18 pellet 00 Buck from various brands on their shelves.
I personally would go with a lever gun in .44 Mag or 30/30 for deer, 12ga for hogs. But my experience in the outdoors is mostly wilderness survival rather than hunting.
I love Bass pro shops but I'm like you John I hunt alot, and I'm a defense guy to, thanks for all good content this video was a breath of fresh air to remind people it's not all about defense
Love the Dave Ramsey boat comment! HA!!! #DebtFree We have a Bass Pro and a Cabela's both about 10 minutes from my work. A lunch break for me is sometimes spent roaming one or the other. I prefer Cabela's, but your "review" is dead on. Fun video! :)
On the amount of Ruger firearms in Bass Pro. No, it's the same in ALL of the Florida Bass Pro Shops. The LCP was the biggest selling pistol for a long time. The amount of AR platform rifles is consistent with what I've seen recently, but it's the same amount no matter the size of the display area. One rack of defensive firearms with a varying amount of F̶u̶d̶d uhh... "sporting" long guns.
Those plastic wedding bands are a good investment. Have a friend that is a cop and he ended up losing his ring finger b/c it was degloved when his finger caught on the fence he was climbing over.
Went to the Pyramid Bass Pro Shops in Memphis a while back and they had a whole Beretta mini store next to the hunting section. About 10 styles of handguns and a mess load of overpriced clothing and accessories. Not a Beretta guy myself and the price tag to practicality ratio tends to be my reasoning. I stand true to my good ole’ gen4 g19.
That selection of pistols is pretty common from what I have seen at Bass pro. Same thing at the ones here in Texas. Im guessing it's price driven and not really what is higher quality.
Nice video John. You should smile more it makes your eyes sparkle. Liked this side of you. You remind me of my youngest son who is 35 now. Greetings from little old lady from Michigan. 🇺🇸
You can defensive ammo there of course Johnny Boy!!! I mean John Candy lol I've found a few things there and since they have recently acquired Cabela's it should be a little easier to shop there...
John I have 2 of those Ascend snap button shirts you pointed out in the beginning of the video. And they are perfect CC shirts for me down here in South Florida. I like them more than the 5.11 “gray-ish” line (maybe Covert idk.) I wish I could find more prints.
You were close to my stomping grounds. I've spent WAY too much money in that Bass Pro Shops store. LOL! Ruger is a hot item with a lot of folks around here for some reason. I prefer SIg myself. Iowa and Nebraska are definitely big on hunting culture so a lot of shotguns (most of our hunting seasons involve shotgun) and a few rifles. Hope you enjoyed your short visit to the area.
Tons of good defensive guns and ammo at the BPS in Nashville TN, but they are real proud of these and charge out the ass for it. Of course I only buy guns online now anyway. But I guess someone is buy the BPS stuff.
Rob Hodge ..it's 3/4 hours here in Colorado and every moment a waste of time. No shooting required just getting talked at by some self-important NRA instructor.
In answer to your question about the Ruger "overage" no that is not local when I lived in the Denver metro area the overwhelming representation in the defensive gun case was Ruger and in fact even in a city of 4 million there was almost no H&K product sometimes they were completely out there was a lot of khar and Kimber as well but the majority of their product was Ruger
I love going to places like that, and I get your point on the boat. I want a 50 cal rifle LOL, no place here I can take it to shoot But I want one......maybe it's the military in me
Love that you mentioned Dave Ramsey! Good for you John on walking away from those boat payments! I'm sure the Mrs loves your good stewardship.. Keep up the great work!
If you have time to hunt, you have time to go fishing. Treat yourself to a boat. I suggest slightly used. Cheaper than new. Plus I suggest a fishing pontoon with fishing chairs in front and back. Perfect for spending time with your family.
love the Dave Ramsey reference. No debt is king
Thanks for taking us along. Happy Father's Day everyone.
Thanks!
Your honesty about the products at Pro Bass is welcomed.
Do yourself a favor if you're ever in the Springfield Missouri area and see the original and largest bass pro store and the National Shooting Sports Firearms Museum located within, it is quite impressive
Yes, very impressive.
I want to see the one in Memphis at the old Mid South Colesuem.
Get yourself a Uncle Mike's universal holster of you want zero retention lol
Uncle Mike's goes well with those tactical crocs.
Get Gearcraft if you want quality. Www.gearcraftholsters.com
Just line it with chewed up bubblegum (I’m sure they sell Big League Chew there) and call it good.
Ian Cornell Uncle Mike’s is just raw nasty speed.
Haha my daughter uses uncle mikes holsters for her cap gun and a nerf gun that fits
I've killed so many days. LOL...Hi John, Gareth Ball from New Zealand, AKA Gareth Ball from Twitter.
We are the true fans of you and you're channels, the twitters and the ASP Extra's...
God bless your family, and your channel good sir
When I was a kid, we had a Bass Pro mega store just a few minutes from the house, so I spent a lot of time there. Also, I'm a huge Dave Ramsey fan, and I have always and will always wear a silicone ring. ;)
I do the same at bass, Academy and cabelas. Its interesting what we all look at and look for. Good video
LMaspO "clearly Dave Ramsey would not approve." You must be an FPU practitioner. Love it!
One of the reason you'll see a lot of Hornady at that Bass Pro Shop (I go there when I visit my in-laws) is that Hornady is based in Grand Island, NE which is only a few hours away.
Makes sense!
You do not want to own a fishing boat....get friends who own one 👍🏼 Boats are pains in the ASSP
It is good to see well stocked gun cases and ammo shelves. Even though the prices aren't back to the "good ol' days", at least stuff is available.
John i think we would get along well...you seem to have a special skill that will benefit you and everyone that values you opinion...great job sir.
You brought up a lot of good points John. Thanks for your service too. Why don’t you like hybrid holsters??
Thanks!
I have a video on the channel about it.
Thank you for the tour that was a lot of fun really appreciate it
Glad to help!
Oh man, this video makes me weep - Bass Pro in Tampa yesterday July 14 2020 - NOT ONE pistol or box of ammo in the whole store 😞 I don’t think we’ll ever see it stocked like this video again John.

I love that you refrenced Grey Men from the wheel of time.
Mornin John. You’re doing so many videos theses days, I can’t keep up. Extra points for the Dave Ramsey reference !
Yeah, 10-11 new videos a week between the two channels!
I used to work in a place like this, and while I did my best to have the best information on defensive shooting I could, I can’t say my co-workers did.
I love this channel. Makes me feel like I’m hanging out with you
:)
I order all of my defensive gear online. Brick and mortar retail stores never have the selection of stuff I want including ammo.
Brian Same here... but it's cuz I'm a lefty.
Same 😉
Prices are too high as well. Bass seems to consistently price their pistols $100 or more over what you can find from a variety of online retailers.
Thanks for letting me know they have those tactical crocs at basspro. My grandpa would love that. ☺
what a cool store. ill have to take a look at my bass pro ive never really thought about it. thanks john
I remember going to a Dave Ramsey seminar when I was younger. I’m 30 yrs old and have never had a credit card or debt. I spend all my money on guns but it’s cash up front! Most guns only go up in value.

Did the math, by the time you pay off that boat, you will have paid of $56,500 for it!
Timothy Courtemanche But, think of the extra fun you would have had of spending many more thousands on it every few years! At least boats sip fuel 🤣
Boat, noun \ ˈbōt \: A hole in the water in which one throws money into.
$56,500 doesn't include Total Cost of Ownership during the 15 year loan term! After just 2-3 years it will be a different kind of B.O.A.T.... "Bring Out Another Thousand!" for maintenance.
rtucker1004 nope, I was just pointing out how much interest you would be paying.
Yeah i will stick to my 16ft jon with a 20 horse mercury on the back

That’s because you live in San Jose!

I also agree John with the flag code.
This was fun. Shopping with Jon. I had a thought that you could do this virtually with us - screen casting to different websites and showing us what you’d buy, etc.
I’d love to see more on grey-man life. I wear a suit or blazer everyday so how do I grey-man that, etc.
Be well
#prayers.
This is my first exposure to the concept of 1.0 vs. 2.0 gun cultures. Did you make that up, or have I been living under a rock again??
It's a thing.
Thanks! Good to know.
@Smokey Bear have you read a book recently? Like, oh...I dunno...the best selling book series of the 21st century perhaps? 7 of the top 21 sellers in individual books in the 21st century? Try there. Might find something.
As for Gun Culture 1.0 vs 2.0, perhaps a quick Google search is in order. gunculture2point0.wordpress.com/about/
Sry but my first thought was anti 2A. augument.
"2.0 iS nOt whAT tHe foUndInG FatHerS meant. ITs FoR mUsKetS and HuNtInG onLY."
I love Bass Pro Shops! Being 19, I appreciate that they still sell ammo to those under 21 (unlike Dick's Sporting Goods).
I also took my Hunter's Safety course at one of their stores, it was very informative. I still remember everything the instructors taught me that day.
Small world. Just got back home from Omaha. My oldest daughter entered the novitiate last Thursday.
Thank You for your service !
Hey! Those "nylon sack" as you call them. Are very useful if you can retrofit your gun safe door to hold your pistols if you don't have shelf space!
For storage? Sure. As a holster? NO!
Active Self Protection Extra
That's exactly how I use them. Storage.
If you get to Memphis check the Bass Pro shop there. It's the big glass pyramid in the middle of town.
Hey John you were at my favorite store. I live just under 2 miles from there.
Noob shooter here. I just purchased my first pistol (Walther PPQ) from BassPro on 5/30. Their pistol selection was a bit underwhelming but they were $100 cheaper than Scheels. I’ll check them first when it’s time to pick up the VP9.
I can also vouch, that Ruger is huge in the Nebraska, Iowa area
In glad I'm learning a lot from these videos!! John, you are so awesome!! Thank you for this video!!
Glad to help!
*TACTICAL CROCS*
TACTICROCS!
+10 accuracy
Man John, that's that bass Angler in you sir! I'd co-angle with you in a tournament...I bet out on the water...You cover Your Bass!
Bahaha!
love them tactical crocs. You really have to try them. My feet have never been so happy.
They did have a few lcr's and some other low-end revolvers, but for a hunting-oriented shop you'd think they'd have some of the heavy artillery revolvers if they carry a lot of Ruger.
thanks for the pointing out the breech of flag etiquette
I grew up with a river in my backyard.. a small jon boat and 10hp is all you really need to enjoy boating
I just love bass pro shops! (All the cool stuff!)
Hey John i am pretty sure every guy wants to buy a boat at one time or other. Buddy
I can tell you from experience buying my boat was the best day of my life! Woohoo!
After owning it for 4 years, spending lots of money on upkeep it was time to sell.
My boat was in excellent shape so it sold on the first weekend that was the second happiest day of my life! Still Happy!
Thanks for your service! The Hornady factory is in Grand Island Ne, that could be why they have a lot of there ammo. I appreciated your rant the other day, I will get the book you held up in the video, I do not have all of the answers but I'm trying. I want to protect my family and myself as best I can. Thanks for your videos!👍👍🙂🙂
Glad to help, Nathan! Thanks for the encouragement man.
The Sig V-Crown is shown to be quite effective as well. Especially in the MEAT TARGET 🍖 🎯
Daniel Butcher way to go! Also a Paul Harrell fan!
What about a high tech fleece?
Andrew Gutierrez stopped in the first few layers of the high-tech fleece backstop, consistently demonstrating excellent expansion and maximum damage to our orange lung tissue!!
I had an interesting perspective on ammunition given to me. Maybe you can tell me what you think.

Thanks!!! (I guess?) 😂. Hope you and yours have a great holiday.
Haha you too man!
Look at those prices and look at the inventory good memories
My dad works for Ruger and he just said that they carry a lot of Ruger as a company and could not be a specific thing for that region.
Awesome! I love that you quoted Dave Ramsey. "Live like no one else..."
I was @ a big 5 in California and I was looking for a 10rd magpul AK mag. I asked this really old guy working the gun counter if they were in stock who insisted “you can’t buy them and “AK mags are illegal”. I found the mags there a couple weeks later....
Gun counter salesmen are SELDOM knowledgable about firearms.
If you don't mind second hand shirts. Thrift stores like Goodwill are a good option to consider if you really want to save. I have found a few good quality shirts in these places under $5/per shirt
I use 5.11 as dad pants. I have 3 boys so they need to be fairly indestructible.
Let’s Aim for those bass man...I bet you’d make one heckuva bass pro angler...
Great vidoe. EDC gear is affordable, just shop around. I am not a name brand guy, so if it is functionable and looks good I buy it.
I wish I could have met you! I live in Omaha and work really close to that Bass Pro Shops.
I went prowling around Bass Pro Shop for some 12ga ammunition before. I wasn't expecting to find a lot of duty ammo, but what I find funny is they didn't carry any tactical slugs like Federal TruBall but I found 3 1/2" Magnum 18 pellet 00 Buck from various brands on their shelves.
Sure, that's great for deer!
I personally would go with a lever gun in .44 Mag or 30/30 for deer, 12ga for hogs. But my experience in the outdoors is mostly wilderness survival rather than hunting.
I love Bass pro shops but I'm like you John I hunt alot, and I'm a defense guy to, thanks for all good content this video was a breath of fresh air to remind people it's not all about defense
Love the Dave Ramsey boat comment! HA!!! #DebtFree
We have a Bass Pro and a Cabela's both about 10 minutes from my work. A lunch break for me is sometimes spent roaming one or the other. I prefer Cabela's, but your "review" is dead on. Fun video! :)
Super nice folks at Bass Pro!
Just buy the boat and suprise the wife. She's going to love it. 😄
I miss the 2018 gun cabinets… I haven’t seen that many guns in one place in a long time.
AR 15’s are a hunting rifle as well as a defensive rifle. They’re super popular among coyote and hog hunters.
Columbia PCG shirts and Wrangler Riggs. Covers all your bases without being that 5.11 guy that stands out in the crowd.
On the amount of Ruger firearms in Bass Pro.
No, it's the same in ALL of the Florida Bass Pro Shops. The LCP was the biggest selling pistol for a long time.
The amount of AR platform rifles is consistent with what I've seen recently, but it's the same amount no matter the size of the display area. One rack of defensive firearms with a varying amount of F̶u̶d̶d uhh... "sporting" long guns.
lol amen!
Those plastic wedding bands are a good investment. Have a friend that is a cop and he ended up losing his ring finger b/c it was degloved when his finger caught on the fence he was climbing over.
Yep, I have seen and heard of it.
I'm from Lincoln and Ruger is probably the #1 brand here
I love the Columbia shorts, besides my 5.11 shorts they are my favorite
SO HAPPY to hear your opinion on the flag design being misused. Too many people think its okay to throw the stars and stripes on whatever they want
It's just a thing to me. As a veteran, the flag is important to me because of the Republic for which it stands.
A true patriot. You're really one of my favorite people on youtube
I believe the flag code prohibits actual flags, not flag looking designs, from being used in other ways. But correct me if I’m wrong.
The grey man concept on a grey mannequin lol
Went to the Pyramid Bass Pro Shops in Memphis a while back and they had a whole Beretta mini store next to the hunting section. About 10 styles of handguns and a mess load of overpriced clothing and accessories. Not a Beretta guy myself and the price tag to practicality ratio tends to be my reasoning.

All the pasta blasters!
That selection of pistols is pretty common from what I have seen at Bass pro. Same thing at the ones here in Texas. Im guessing it's price driven and not really what is higher quality.
Yeah, makes sense.
Bought many a "tactical" pistol and rifle at cabelas and bass pro... at frankly absurdly good prices
Nice video John. You should smile more it makes your eyes sparkle. Liked this side of you. You remind me of my youngest son who is 35 now. Greetings from little old lady from Michigan. 🇺🇸
Hi Sharon! Thanks for the encouragement!
Love the Council Bluffs Bass Pro! Live only a few blocks away!
I love Bass Pro Shops! 🥰
You can defensive ammo there of course Johnny Boy!!! I mean John Candy lol I've found a few things there and since they have recently acquired Cabela's it should be a little easier to shop there...
John I have 2 of those Ascend snap button shirts you pointed out in the beginning of the video. And they are perfect CC shirts for me down here in South Florida. I like them more than the 5.11 “gray-ish” line (maybe Covert idk.) I wish I could find more prints.

I have a Bass Pro like 5 min from my house LOVE It!!!
Tons of good defensive guns and ammo at the BPS in Nashville TN, but they are real proud of these and charge out the ass for it. Of course I only buy guns online now anyway. But I guess someone is buy the BPS stuff.
Dang!! That ccw class is only 4hrs?! Here in SC it was a whole Saturday, 8hrs, for a class. Super fun 8hrs though.
Rob Hodge 8 hours in Ohio’s too. Every minute was fun and educational
Rob Hodge ..it's 3/4 hours here in Colorado and every moment a waste of time. No shooting required just getting talked at by some self-important NRA instructor.
seth tenrec Yikes, I don't know whether to like your comment or dislike. That's a shame... I'd be afraid of rogue shooters as much as criminals. :/
In answer to your question about the Ruger "overage" no that is not local when I lived in the Denver metro area the overwhelming representation in the defensive gun case was Ruger and in fact even in a city of 4 million there was almost no H&K product sometimes they were completely out there was a lot of khar and Kimber as well but the majority of their product was Ruger
I love going to places like that, and I get your point on the boat. I want a 50 cal rifle LOL, no place here I can take it to shoot But I want one......maybe it's the military in me
Love that you mentioned Dave Ramsey! Good for you John on walking away from those boat payments! I'm sure the Mrs loves your good stewardship.. Keep up the great work!
Debt freedom has been important to us making it in life.
The button up shirt is top teir cc wear.
Looks exactly like Cabelas, guess that’s why they bought them. Cabelas is my favorite store
Agree 100% with you on old glory being on anything but a flag.
Come to the main store here in Springfield Missouri and see the difference.
The Ruger thing is a THING everywhere. You should try a sr9 or sr9c lc9s.
If you have time to hunt, you have time to go fishing. Treat yourself to a boat. I suggest slightly used. Cheaper than new. Plus I suggest a fishing pontoon with fishing chairs in front and back. Perfect for spending time with your family.
You seem to have a problem with Ruger. I don't understand. I think they're pretty great, especially the SR9c and the SR22.
They're alright. Budget tier guns, but for what they're made for, they do the job.
Nicely done. Don't want to stand out at "that guy". "not cheap" - you get what you pay for :-)
The Bass pro here in Hampton VA is also Ruger heavy.
I wish i could have met you i work about 7 min from there! Thanks for your videos and all that you do. God bless!
You too Daniel!
kinda interesting the handgun ammo is right out in the open and not locked up or behind the counter
John! It is my understanding that bass pro is supporting the “assault weapons ban”
