    RSWC #212 Irv Gill
    Sep 24 2024
    Riding Shotgun With Charlie #212 Irv Gill Blackbelt Ammunition I love it when a plan comes together. I was heading to New Jersey and it was a vacation week, so I had some extra time. I’d been in contact with Irv Gill from Blackbelt Ammunition and we were able to meet at Tanner’s Sports Center in Jamison, Pa. I met Nayara Andrejczyk there last year to film a show with her. It isn’t too far from Reading so we all met there. Irv has been a long time shooter and hunter, like many folks. His grandfather taught him to shoot and he got his first .22 rifle around 12 years old. During his junior high and high school years, he joined the rifle team. He bought some muzzleloading handguns and it felt like reloading since you have to apply all the components of ammunition. He also started casting his own bullets as well. By 18 years old, he got his mom to buy him his first revolver. When he was younger, he got into hunting boar with handguns. It was much more exciting because you have to get a little closer to the animals. During those years, he got into reloading his own ammunition. Then started loading it for friends and family, too. This led to getting some single stage presses and reloading ammo. He does say that no one really saves money by reloading because you end up shooting more and needing more supplies. Even though it works out to be a few cents a round and you’re shooting more, it’s more about control of the ammo and the bullet. Irv is also a black belt in martial arts and has been practicing for years. He even wrote a book about the martial arts. Self defense training in its various forms is something he’s been doing his whole life. Back in 2020 when things changed, he decided to take this hobby of making ammunition and making it a real thing, a real business. He wasn’t sure what to call it. While his wife was napping one day, she woke up and said it should be Blackbelt Ammunition. His plan was to cater to local gun stores who had a hard time keeping stock. Then he met a woman who helped Blackbelt with online sales. After studying various types of bullets and ballistics, he decided it was time to move forward and make this dream come true. Irv compares his ammo to small batch micro brews or whiskeys. He isn’t cranking out thousands and thousands of rounds. He’s got small batch ammo that specializes in self defense and not bulk target ammo. I love that he calls the big ammo companies “Rem-Fed-Chester”, short of Remington, Federal, and Winchester. They can produce all the target ammo but he’s got them beat for self defense ballistics. His bullets expand more and transfer more energy to its intended target. Another good thing about being a small business and doing small batches, if he wants to make a change, it doesn’t take too much work. One of his newest rounds is the Red Devil. It’s for customers in New Jersey. In the Garden State, someone cannot use hollow point or hollow tip ammo. If there is an insert in the tip, then it is ok to use or carry. Another brand has a red ball inserted into the tip. Blackbelt has a steel BB that they use for the Red Devil. He’s been in contact with the powers that be in New Jersey to make sure it will be ok to sell there. If you’re in Jersey, check Blackbelt’s social media. Irv and his team are often at local gun shows selling ammo. This is a good episode. It’s great to hear someone who has a dream and makes it happen at any age. Irv obviously loves what he’s doing and he’s doing a great job at it. Please check out his socials and buy some of his ammo. Favorite quotes: “You have to dedicate time to it.” “I got into martial arts because I’ve always been into self defense.” “I got into martial arts so that you didn’t have to shoot somebody.” “We don’t need more regulation. We need smart regulation.” Blackbelt Ammunition https://www.blackbeltammunition.com/ Blackbelt Ammunition Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blackbelt_ammunition Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089942570085 Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

  • RSWC #211 Dick Heller

    RSWC #211 Dick Heller
    Sep 10 2024
    Riding Shotgun With Charlie #211 Dick Heller Heller v DC Back in 2018, I was heading to hear some friends speak at the Heller 10 Celebration hosted by Second Amendment Institute. I got a call from one of my friends and she said “we’re going to Heller’s house”. I wondered “who’s we? Is it her? Am I part of we?”. She called back and I got to go hang out at the Heller resident. The next day, I found myself being asked/told that I was going to give an impromptu speech on the Supreme Court Steps. I’ve seen Dick at a number of events and got to film this show on our way to go shoot sporting clays at the M&M Hunting Preserve in New Jersey. He was the keynote at a fundraiser the night before. We shot clays with John Petrolino (RSWC #093), Gabby Franco (RSWC #), and Eric, who was helping get Dick around for the weekend. We’ve all heard of the Heller decision. We all know what happened in the Heller case. It’s been cited and referenced in cases upon cases. It’s referenced in the McDonald v Chicago and NYSRPA v Bruen. If you haven’t read that “magnificent Scalia decision”, you need to do some homework. The Heller case was ruled in 2008, but it started years before. Getting a case to the SCOTUS takes time and money. And lots of both. Several years before, Dick was friends with a fighter pilot and instructor and Vietnam veteran. He was also an Olympic shooter in 1980. Dick rented him a room. So he came over with a truck full of guns, which was illegal at the time, and said they’re all going to jail. The friend got the guns out of DC and decided that he was going to go to law school to fight this nonsense. Heller said he was going to become a cop and they’ll give him a gun to protect them, but he won’t be able to protect himself. This is the beginning of the case. When the case was done, Heller had to sign 12 more papers for another case just so the lawyers would get paid. He points out that the government pays to fight us with our own money in the form of taxes. And we also have to pay with our own money to fight the government. Heller’s team of lawyers were able to win the case despite the unlimited funds that DC has. The case went to a federal court since it was a Constitutional issue. But it didn’t rule in Heller’s favor the first time. So they appealed to the DC Circuit Court. There they prevail. During one of the trials, the opposing attorney admits to the judge that they just don’t want guns in DC. The lawyer hadn’t seen or heard the news that crimes in DC at the time was rising and a very violent city to live in. Heller also shares that with his ruling in 2008 and with Sandy Hook happening in 2012, he was posed with what kind of influence his case could have been responsible for that incident. Ultimately, each individual has to be responsible for their actions. His ruling shouldn’t, and didn’t, have anything to do with other acts of evil people. For years now, Heller has been associated with Gun Owners of America because they are the group that will not compromise our rights away. He’s been to a number of the Coalition of New Jersey Gun Owners and Women for Gun Rights events up and down the east coast. And he’s been to several of the other national 2A events around the country. If you get a chance to see him and hear him speak, you need to take that. He’s a national treasure. And you can hear some of his story here. Favorite quotes: “Everybody out there can do a little bit of something.” “The city has unlimited funding in the form of our tax dollars… with which to hurt us with our own money.” “You don’t whimp your way to the Supreme Court.” “In the arrogance of government, they thought they would have the high court voting on their side of the law.” “Sometimes you have to pull up your big boy pants and understand who you are and what you’re doing.” Heller Foundation https://www.hellerfoundation.org/ The Heller Decision https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep554/usrep554570/usrep554570.pdf Gun Owners of America https://www.gunowners.org/ Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners https://www.cnjfo.com/ Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

  • RSWC #210 Don Mann

    RSWC #210 Don Mann
    Aug 27 2024
    Riding Shotgun With Charlie #210 Don Mann SEAL Team 1, 2, & 6, Author It’s great when someone calls you and says “Hey, Don Mann is looking to do some media. Can I give him your contact info?”. The answer is “of course”. Thanks to Rich Yumul from Gun Owners Radio for reaching out. I called Don and talked with him. I had some time off from work and it was easy to plan. I’d heard of Don’s name. A couple people I knew have been on his TV show, Surviving Mann. It’s a reality competition show that involves lots of shooting and lots of physical exercise. I listened to the show with my friends on the drive down to the Blue Ridge Mountain area of Virginia. It was very enjoyable to listen to, more enjoyable if I was able to watch. I headed up the mountain to Don’s house.The house faced the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a spectacular view! Besides being a SEAL, an author of 23 books, and hosting some TV shows where he sets the mission, Don is a motivational speaker. This really is a mix of all the things I like. It’s like Jeff Cooper meets Zig Ziglar. Don was raised in New England. He joined the military at a young age.. As a young man, he enjoyed working out. He knew he wanted to become a SEAL but he also knew it took lots of work to get there. He spent several years training and preparing to get into BUD/S. It also took him a few tries before he was able to succeed. Not completing BUD/S training gave him the chance to develop a method of success. Working this way gave him a way to think and achieve his goals. He talks about the macro goals and micro goals you need to achieve success. This worked for his training, but it’s worked in several other ways, too. The overall goal of everyday for Don is to do four things everyday. If he can do those, he can be better and get better at everything he does. And he emphasizes that anyone can, and should, do these four things. These things will make you better and make you a better person. One of the things he enjoys is physical training. He really enjoyed pushing himself to and beyond his limit. When he wasn’t training the SEALs he was off doing high adventure. Things like Ironman competitions, climbing Mt Everest, and just all around pushing his limits. He likes to find out what the limit is and just get to that line then back off. When he retired, he was approached to write a book about firearms. Obviously, he is very well versed in all things gun related. After writing the book, the editor had to cut it down because it was too much. The result is called The Modern Day Gunfighter and it’s just over 400 pages. With all his SEALs experience, he was asked to write a book about being a SEAL, but he can’t really talk about what they did. So he developed a fictional book about life as a SEAL and some potential missions in the future. That went well and became a series of books, each book having new characters and a new nemesis. He was offered a reality show. Don was to train them all then face all of them in an elimination contest. With contestants in the 20’s and 30’s, he had to convince the producers it would be better if they did the training, eliminated contestants, then had a final mission to rescue someone. This is a show called Surviving Mann. Currently, Season 3 is out there for people to watch. He did say that maybe I could come for an All Stars season, but only to record interviews. Whew! I’d never survive. This really was a motivational episode. Don has careers writing books, filming TV shows, and as a motivational speaker, too. I get the RSWC is about people in the firearm community, but having someone that is inspiring as Don Mann, it’s truly an honor to have some time with him and get his uplifting stories out for everyone to hear. Favorite quotes: “The SEALs were everything and more than ever I could wished for a lifestyle and a career.” “I’d think ‘Today was hard, but it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be’.” “It just proved to him that he can do a lot more than he thought he could.” “You have to have the mindset and the ability to think real big.” “The only way to do it so people don’t get hurt is to make training really easy. But then you go to war and you’re going to get slaughtered.” Don Mann Website https://www.usfrogmann.com/ Don Mann Facebook https://www.facebook.com/usfrogmann Don Mann Instagram https://www.instagram.com/us_frogmann/ Don Mann Speaker website https://speakerdonmann.com/ Surviving Mann https://survivingmann.com/ The Mission https://www.usfrogmann.com/the-mission Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.
