In my heart I am restless, for I know I am called to the greatness of my true being. Let me not tarry in my weaker places.” -Marianna Williamson (follow on Substack) Hunting and conservation has taken me to places that have exposed and challenged the greatness of my being and my awareness of the presence of a higher Being. As the flower bends toward the sun, we too should bend toward the vibrancy of our calling. Honor that call by responding to it. I was just on the phone with Michael O'Casey from TRCP and Brian Grossenbacher and we all have been blessed to work and display our passions every day in nature. Our work takes us places when, just a year ago I was in a classroom. But bending toward MY sun was what put me on a path out of the classroom and onto a journey that has truly filled my spirit, from TEACHING in a new capacity (LTH with PFQF and BHA) to Guiding hunts and TEACHING and SHOWCASING my ART, DOGS, and KNOWLEDGE to people who seek new experiences in the Deep South. I am RESTLESS- seeking to explore new types of bird dogs, planning to go to France to look at an older breed of French Pointer (we will see), and investing my passions into getting Ícaro through the NAVDHA Utility Test down the road. My Sporting Life is a life of inquisition and exploration and I am grateful and blessed for that.

On this episode, Jake and Geoff discuss the controversy with the Benchmade Knife Company, the Oregon City Police Department, and gun policy. Geoff reveals how he voted on a bill which leads to a discussion and celebration of civil discourse. They have some fun at the end of the episode and have a surprise guest call in.

In Case You Missed It: Last week, the Oregon City Police Department posted a picture on Facebook of guns being destroyed at the Benchmade Knife Company factory. The outcry that followed, plus the deep-dive into Benchmade's donations to Democrats, led some people to question the company's 2nd Amendment loyalties. Benchmade reached out to Gun Talk and asked to talk with Tom on Sunday's radio show. Matt Elliott, Director of Marketing at Benchmade, joined Tom and discussed the destruction elephant in the room, the political donations, and their support of the Interstate Transport Act. Tom addressed how bad of a bill the ITA truly is for both gun owners AND knife owners (and the fact that Feinstein supports it), and questioned Benchmade's choice of a left-leaning lobbying firm.
