It's time to quit complaining and get involved. I'm asking you to do me, yourself, and all gun owners a favor.

If you haven't already done it, sign up to be a Gun Talk Truth Squad member. It's free and the sign up is at guntalk.com.

All it means is that you'll get an email from me now and then alerting you to issues.

Also, it means you'll shoot an email or make a phone call

when you see or hear bogus reports on gun ownership. I'll help you with the info you get as part of the True Squad.

We need you on board. Welcome to Tom Gresham's Gun Talk, where there's more to talk about than shooting.

There's reloading and hunting and self-defense too.

Hey, welcome again to Gun Talk.

I'm

Tom Gresham glad that you could be with us. Of course we're going to

be talking about some guns and guns you want to buy and things you want to get and

accessories and ammo and reloading and all that and that's all well and good but we also talk a good bit about safety around

here and safety extends beyond firearms and I consider it's all part of your

safety program or your safety system if you will.

When you're traveling and I tell what's got me thinking about this again and it's

something I like to bring up occasionally. The murders in Mumbai, India, you're in a

hotel, things go down, things are happening badly, what do you do? Well you know

look, reality is sometimes there's nothing you could do.

Sometimes just bad stuff happens and, but you know, you ought to have, you ought to build in some options.

If you are not thinking in terms of self-defense, of self-protection of safety of security

when you travel, maybe it's time you did.

Let me give you some examples of what I'm talking about.
