Hey, welcome into gun talk hunt. This week, you know what? We decided to mix it up. I'm going

to host from the guest spot and this handsome devil to my right, who is always here, always

ready to go. Mr Ryan Gresham joins me. This is crazy. And today, yeah, I know it's crazy.

We're mixing it up. We're mixing it up. You know, but today's gun talk hunt is brought to you by

ATN, the future of optics. And now we're going to jump into it. We actually really haven't talked
