This gun talk nation is brought to you by Rossi, Crimson Trace, Ruger, SDS imports, and Range Ready.

All right, welcome in to Gun Talk Nation. Today on the show, one of our good friends for many many years a man who some of you probably

know because he's been out there in the public a bit as a gun dude Roy, Roy you're now with Swanson Russell Ad Agency who handles a bunch of different companies in the outdoor space, right?

Right, right. I still fortunately get to do a whole lot of work in the gun industry so I still get to come see all my good friends at things like Shot Show. I'll be at the NRA show in Dallas upcoming. So I still get to very much work with the industry that I really love.

I've been a gun guy since I was about eight years old, so I really feel like this is my

colleague. But I've got to do a few other things that sponsored Russell. So it's been a good gig so far.

Yeah, and we're also going to talk about Sal today, which is a really cool organization

But for those listening and don't know I mean Roy and I go back a ways probably

further than actually we we go back further than when we knew each other

right because somehow gun Talk may have had a little bit of a hand and you

getting into this world, yes? Yes, yes. I was a dedicated Gun Talk

listener. oh goodness, since at least the early 2000s. I mean like 2001,

2002. And then I don't I won't take up the time telling the entire story, but I actually one of the highlights for me was I actually got to give your father a ride from the airport to his broadcast location in

Fort Smith, Arkansas, and then from the broadcast location to the hotel he was staying at.

Because at the time I was coaching a college club air rifle team at what what the institution came to be called the University of Arkansas Fort Smith and I was also a very much a concealed carry instructor. I was a concealed carry instructor for about 10 years in Arkansas. So I couldn't believe it because of my connections to the old Fort Gun Club and that was part of the reason why your dad came to do a gun talk radio from

Oh shoot the tackle box that's what it's called this live from the tackle box in

Ford Smith Arkansas rocking the fort with Tom Greshing but um I got to actually

pick him up and I've been listening to him by that time for probably at least 10 or 12 years.

I'm going, oh my gosh, I've got Tom Grecian in my truck.
