A competition that mirrors self-defense.

Well, at least that's how it got started.

But the question is, is IDPA shooting good for you if you're really interested in being a better shooter?

That's coming right up. 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.

All right, just a few days to go and counting. Yeah, I know. I know. You know what I'm talking about. You know, if you haven't bought anything, if you haven't finished up your Christmas list, I'll have some ideas for you as we go through the show today. I have some things that you can buy spur of the moment very quickly that I think would be pretty neat gifts. Some of them is inexpensive as 10 bucks, and I'll be giving you some of those ideas. Gifts for shooters and people who support the shooting sports and the Second Amendment. Interesting stuff going on here. Welcome. I'm Tom Gresham. This is Gun Talk. We are live today around the country country, coast to coast, and really literally all over the world. If you happen to miss a show, and of course, that's not my fault that you've had poor planning, that you've actually missed the live broadcast. You can always pick up the recorded version if you go to Gun Talk.com slash listen, and you can find the podcast.

We archive all of our shows, and you can go back and listen to actually the last several

years' worth of shows.

And it's interesting.

Four million podcasts.

Thank you, Jim.

Yeah, and by the way, working the boards today on the phones is Michelle Cleland. When you call in, you'll be talking to Michelle, and Jim Kinsey is working the board. So we've got the whole crew here together, and I want to keep them out of the stores today. I'm doing my part to lend to them some fiscal responsibility. It's the least I can do because, you know, if they go out, they're just going to buy more guns

and ammo.

It's a sickness.

What can I tell you?

Had a great time.

Went over to a neighbor's house yesterday.

We moved into a new neighborhood a few months ago.

Met a neighbor, and once he found out that I was into guns, it was lots of questions.

He just bought an AR, his first AR.

And that is a fun conversation.

I'm not sure if he's ever shot an AR before.
