2A Talk with Toby Leary - 7.19.21 - Hour 3

Some of the highlights include:
  • I live in Massachusetts. Can I get me some mail order ammo?
  • I have a couple of girls in their 20's and my son just turned 20. Should I have them take a gun safety course before they apply in town for their LTC?
  • I'm a retired police officer, 20 years. Do you have any kind of law enforcement come into your classes or delve into the subject of new gun owners who are carrying first time in their vehicles and if they have an encounter with a police officer, on a say routine traffic stop, how to tactically act?
  • I have a Medical Marijuana card, and I was wondering if I can get my LTC with that?

2A Tuesday On A Wednesday – 08.18.21 – Hour 3​

In this hour, Toby Leary from Cape Gun Works joins Grace and all her listeners to answer pertinent gun questions.

The hour bumps out of the intro around 0m35s.

  • I ran out in my bathrobe with my .32 in the middle of the night to find out that the flashlights inside my detached garage were the police that my crazy neighbor had called to investigate the radio I had left turned on, and when I let the police inside the house to root around in my locked safe and fondle my 9mm, they spotted the half-drunk glass of scotch on my nightstand, and said they would prosecute me unless I sucked for a multi-year LTC suspension; what would you have done differently?

Did anyone hear Taylor yesterday, when he was covering for Howie, the last hour? He was getting lambasted for his opinion on the Ashley Babbit tragedy. Basically siding with the cop and saying she deserved it.
I sent him a text.
His final words were, “see you Monday, if I still have a job”.
I don’t think Howie’s gonna be happy with him. [rofl]

Caught up just before going out to dinner tonight.

If one managed to listen all the way through,
it shaped up as one of those segments where
the talent has no idea how much they don't know.

No clue about actual laws (or department policy) on use of force.
(Taylor would have assumed the fetal position back at the studio
if a caller had merely asked, "if the guy was placed in such mortal danger
by someone sticking their face through a hole in a barred door,
why didn't he just pistol whip her face?"
That's assuming he didn't just re-holster the piece he was finger-<bleep>ing
and give her a shot of pepper spray).

Undying faith in the fidelity of investigation of police by police.
Can you imagine Taylor being traffic-stopped by the Medford Lens Licker?

Howie should make him take a class or 2 with Toby. If he’s still employed, that is.

I seem to recall that Taylor has.

At least one of Taylor and Grace is on one or another of those cusps of inhibition
that I remember myself so clearly:
wanting to take the class,
and then wanting to get licensed,
and then wanting to get guns,
but not being certified,
and then not applying for the LTC,
and then not going out and buying guns.

But maybe at least one has guns by now.

Hell; it'd be prudent for them to pretend on-air not to have gotten guns,
but be armed to the teeth in real life.

I'm frankly glad it slips my mind.


Also, I'd never expect a commercial range instructor
to sheep-dip a student in Massprudence, RKBA conservatism,
or even self-defense law
while teaching them how to shoot safely and well.

Plenty of students need all their neurons to be safe,
and aim, and all that.

And some students dread the thought
of a range session turning into a political indoctrination session.

(I bet some other students you don't want to get started on politics,
because they start jumping up and down the way Arlo
got assigned to the Group W bench; screaming "Kill! Kill!").

Bah; while Howie will have read the texts (and any EMail whinging),
I don't imagine any dire consequences.

(The third fundamental fly in Taylor's ointment on Friday
is that he seems to be putting way too much credence
in the "outcome" of the "investigation" into Ashli Babbitt's death.
Because it was asking the Deep State to be honest.

If and when evidence comes out that it was a sham,
he'll smacking himself in the forehead so hard that
V8 Corp will call him up and ask him to do vegetable juice commercials).


It might be kewl if the program spent less time on Tapioca Joe's
latest sound bites and more time on legal minutiae.
But those topics may not be ready for Drive Time Radio.

So, short of something like Officer Mark coming on the show on Monday
to explain stuff like the Ladder of Force that legit cops have to deal with every day,
I'm not expecting a lot of clarity on the program about what makes
for a justified shoot. I have none of that training,
but at least I know It's a Thing.
 
Well, all I can say is, if Howie is is promoting a pro 2A brand, everyone, including Taylor, should either promote that view, with knowledge, or shut the hell up and not even approach the subject. Taylor sounded foolish and should get a good dressing down from Howie. He’s got no on air chops as it is.

Also, have you ever watched him eating a salad during commercial breaks? It’s disturbing. [rofl]

Taylor's punishment is two-fold:
  1. Howie's taking today and tomorrow as vacation, and Taylor's filling in.
  2. Long-time caller Russ just referred to Taylor as "Tyler". A faint smile played across Taylor's visage...
 
That SOB glossed over the whole subject. He didn’t respond to my texts. I didn’t even make “chopped chumps”. I can’t let this go. I’ll wait til Howie gets back. [laugh]

LOL I remember that douche. Then he got caught drinking and carrying off duty on dashcam.
 
And yeah I was shocked at Taylor saying the officer did nothing wrong. I don't think Taylor took into account of the police 3 ft directly behind her, which proved to Byrd that she wasn't an immediate deadly threat, thus negating the reason for drawing his weapon in the first place. Taylor is just saying "in his perceived threat with people barging in, he wasn't wrong in what he did". I understand his perspective, but I believe he doesn't have the full facts.

Meanwhile I realized a few weeks ago that if you listen to the show
via one of the direct feed live streams (not a stream of a broadcast affiliate),
every day you can hear a garbled snippet from one of my old phone calls
about [Obama] bowing to foreign potentates
like one of those glass birds that "drinks" from a glass of ice water. [shocked]

Anyone listening right now? I left a text for Taylor to bring up his opinion on the Ashley Babbit case with Toby. I’m trying to call, but driving right now and can’t get through. Somebody else call in, if you have time.
