Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Savage's Hair Stylist from PA I was a member of a local firearms forum that is shutting down. I bought and sold guns and gear through that forum locally with good success (mostly in-person meetings, not shipping). Since its closing I recently joined GAFS Hub at Nicks suggestion. What is the “standard procedure” for GAFS Hub, TAC Swap, etc? I see that some people hand write the date on a piece of paper next to the item for sale. What are the expectations for shipping and payment? Paid in full or partial before shipping? Paypal friends and family? Im interested in participating but want to understand how it works first.Thanks, Savage's Hair Stylist Question from Agent J Freedom from Illinois Have you heard of these people? I have purchased two completed uppers from them and they run great. Prices are very fair. Just thought I'd share. Home Agent J Freedom Question from Bill T from Texas Bill TI am looking into building a AR-9. Would you rather a Glock style mag adapter ( I don't have a Glock) or the Exomags from Mean Arms? I already had the lower. Thanks Question from Zachary V from MI Hey guys with all the misinformation and misinformed masses out there where do you go to find verifiable information about guns and accessories? I used to have a couple of places where I knew the information was vetted but they all went away. Reddit is a cesspool and Facebook groups are full of boomer fudds. How do you vet a new source for information?Thanks Zachary V Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob KDear WLS Hey guys this question is mainly for Shawn. I'm interested in getting Pew-locker for my collection and ammo stocks. I was wondering how the ammo part of the site worked? I have close to 20 different calibers in my collection, and almost 4 dozen different types of brand names, bullet types, grains, steel, brass, copper washed, corrosive and non-corrosive. Does it know how many rounds to a box? Does Pew-locker track all of these things and have the ability to subtract when using ammo, then assign it to the gun I used it through? Thanks guys keep up the great work!!!! #WLS is life!!!

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen, Speaker 3 Evan Nappen 00:17 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:19 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:20 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, you know, my whole life I’ve really loved air guns. I had BB guns and air rifles as a kid. I had my, of course, the classic Red Ryder, and I had a Crosman 760 XL. Now, that was the Crossman 177 pellet and BB rifle, and the XL had the beautiful golden receiver on it. I don’t know if any of you had an XL version of the 760, but that was a really fun, great air gun. And I had a Benjamin. Man, that was a powerhouse, and it was .22 caliber pellet. You can pump that baby up, and that was my number one squirrel killer. And all as a kid. I shot squirrels in my yard, where my father had a giant garden. He needed to keep the squirrel population down, and I shot those squirrels. Then I cut off their tails, and then I sold the tails to Mepps Lure company, which would buy squirrel tails. I think they still might do that. And that got me some money as a kid. And it was used, of course, to buy more pellets and fun things. And I progressed, as maybe some of you did, to a love of adult air guns. Evan Nappen 01:59 And then, of course, Robert Beeman and air rifle headquarters. They were bringing in those premier, phenomenal air rifles that today are the standard of an entire sector of what I’ll call the gun world. Some of you may have had great RWS guns. My favorite were the Feinwerkbaus. I’ll never forget, my dad got a Feinwerkbau 124 from Beeman that he ordered. He had it custom ordered, and they worked out, worked up the innards on it. So, that thing was sweet. And ever since then, I’ve acquired many adult air guns. I have, you know, the finest Feinwerkbau ever made, the 300 series, the Olympic Feinwerkbau. It just shoots through the same hole. Evan Nappen 03:01 There are so many phenomenal air guns. And today, of course, the revolution in air guns is the pre-charge air gun. They have air guns that have tremendous ability for hunting, and air guns are just a blast. They’re fun. They’re a great way of learning firearm safety and shooting skills. A great way of Page – 2 – of 10 introducing young folks into firearms and the fun and joy of shooting. So, air guns are great. I have a deep love of air guns. Always have. I’m a collector of air guns. I love the history of air guns. And you may know that an air gun was taken on the Lewis and Clark expedition, which made a lot of sense, because the ability to get gunpowder in the wilderness is not an easy task. And with an air gun, there’s always air around. They would pump up that air gun and could use it to take big game. It was that air rifle. It is actually still known and around, that was used on the St. Louis, you know. When they left St. Louis, they had it with them on that great exploratory mission under President Jefferson. And air guns, even at one point, they were used militarily by the Austrians. Napoleon had the death penalty for anybody caught with an air rifle, and those were able to fire repeatedly with enough power to be used militarily. There’s an amazing history and air guns. But the modern sporting air gun today, all the way down to the BB gun, has a tremendous role. Evan Nappen 05:02 Yet, despite the tradition and the history of air guns in America, New York is now proposing a law to ban BB guns and air guns. The law that New York Democrats, of course, are proposing is to ban air guns by making air guns all being placed in a category of “imitation weapons”. (https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2026/04/13/new-york-lawmakers-take-aim-at-bb-guns-n1232199) And by doing that, it would require that every air gun has a plug and specific coloration, and by putting them in that category, they will no longer shoot. Okay? So, you know, what’s the point there? The idea here being, if you make them an imitation firearm, and then they want to raise the age from 16 to 18. They’re selling this nonsense under a typical gun oppressionists lie of claiming police-involved shootings involving individuals who possessed an air gun, which was designed to look like a firearm. You know, the same way they sold the nonsense of cop-killer bullets, of which no cop has ever been killed by one. But why should that stop them from banning so-called cop-killer bullets. Anytime they get any angle that they can sell to the public and fool the public, who doesn’t have an understanding of guns as such, they do it. Evan Nappen 07:11 And here, New York now may become subject to what would essentially be a ban on air guns and BB guns. But let me say right now on the Gun Lawyer podcast that if New York succeeds in passing this law, there is a magic bullet, shall we say, that can kill this law. New Yorkers can shoot the eye out of New York’s air gun ban. The way to do it, I’m going to give you right now how to kill an air gun ban. It is under the United States Code, Title 15 (Commerce and Trade, Chapter 76), Section 5001. (https://law.justia.com/codes/us/title-15/chapter-76/) Evan Nappen 08:12 And this, my friends, is a federal law. It is a federal law that deals with imitation firearms. The reason this federal law is such an incredibly powerful weapon is that this federal law is an area of firearm pre-emption law. What it means is that federal law preempts state law. Federal law supersedes and is superior to, overrides. Overrides it, my friends. Overrides it. And because of that, we are able to take out state laws that attempt to interfere with air guns, and, for that matter, imitation firearms. The very thing that New York is attempting to use as the vehicle to create an air gun ban. Page – 3 – of 10 Evan Nappen 09:27 Let me tell you about Section 5001. Section 5001 first defines and lays out what is required to be on imitation firearms. It lays out what we have seen in the last few decades of having the distinctive markings, the blaze orange plug on look-alike or toy air guns and other imitation firearms and such. The look-alike firearm, which is what the law refers to, is defined as any imitation of an original firearm which was manufactured, designed or produced since 1898 including and Evan Nappen 10:21 limited to toy guns, water guns, replica non guns, airsoft guns firing nonmetallic projectiles, you know, such as airsoft and such. The term does not include any look alike, non firing collector replica of an antique firearm developed prior to 1898 or traditional BB, paintball, or pellet firing air guns that expel a projectile through the use of force or air pressure. And lo and behold, this section has a statement that says, preemption of state or local laws or ordinances. Preemption. The provisions of this section shall supersede any provision of state or local laws or ordinances which provide for markings or identification inconsistent with provisions of this section. Okay. Then it goes on and it says, ready? No State shall and then number one, prohibit the sale or manufacture of any look-alike, nonfiring, collector replica of an antique firearm. So, replica collector firearms are protected. And two, very important here for New York and any other state that wants to try to ban air guns, prohibit the sale parentheses, other than prohibiting the sale to minors end parentheses, of traditional BB, paint ball or pellet-firing air guns that expel a projectile through the force of air pressure. So, should New York be as repressive and stupid as to attempt to ban air guns, federal law preempts and nullifies, supersedes, that state law. Evan Nappen 12:54 Let me tell you another little factor, very interesting. I used this law successfully to attack New Jersey’s assault firearm law. In the case of Coalition of New Jersey Sportsmen versus Florio, which you can find at 744 F. Sup. 602, back in 1990, I challenged the then Attorney General, Robert Del Tufo. I brought an action, a civil action, challenging New Jersey’s assault firearm ban on a number, and magazine ban, by the way, on a number of things. One of the specific challenges was utilizing 15 U.S.C. 5001, which is the air gun preemption. New Jersey’s assault firearm ban, as written, included air guns, because air guns are firearms in New Jersey, and the ban on assault firearms and magazines by definition included air guns. And this case with Judge Garrett Brown, federal judge, had an injunction, which, by the way, this is why today you can still buy air guns, BB guns, pellet guns in New Jersey that may seem at first to fall under the definition of New Jersey’s assault firearm law because of this case and its outcome. The court found that the prohibition as it affects air guns was unconstitutional in that it was preempted under this federal law. Evan Nappen 15:06 So, there’s even case law enforcing this federal preemption as it comes to air guns, even in an assault firearm ban, no less a ban that specifically attempts to ban air guns and BB guns. So, I am giving this to New York as information, folks, and anywhere else that there is an air gun ban that we have a weapon. Believe it or not, air guns, BB guns, etc, are more protected than firearms in America. More protected because federal law preempts state laws from banning them. If we had federal preemption for firearms, then the only firearm law would be the federal law, and no state law banning guns would stand. But we don’t have federal preemption. Our federal gun laws, except with very limited narrow, a few laws like Page – 4 – of 10 Title 18, 926a for interstate transportation and for LEOSA, for law enforcement carry, and retired law enforcement carry, and for armored car carry. Except for a few areas like that, we don’t have federal preemptive laws on firearms, but we do have a federal preemptive law that protects air guns, BB guns and replica firearms. Evan Nappen 16:55 If we ever wanted to wipe out all the state bans, we’d simply have to make the federal law preemptive, but instead, the federal law specifically says it’s not preemptive. So what it does is it creates a situation, when it comes to firearms, that the federal law is the minimum gun law for the United States. Then the states are given carte blanche to go crazy, to do whatever the hell they want, to maximize the gun laws. Then the only thing that possibly limits states is the Second Amendment and its impact that we’re gaining ground every day in the courts. But if we simply said that the Gun Control Act of 1968, for example, and any of its other amendments are preemptive, it would wipe out all state bans instantly. Well, we haven’t done that, but we did do it for air guns, folks, and BB guns and replica firearms. It needs to be known out there so that when these attempts at bans are made by states or towns, this weapon, this hammer in our law, can be used to defeat them. Teddy Nappen 18:19 Out of curiosity, just thinking on New York and their other attempts, you know, they, I give them credit, they’re always very creative on finding ways to take away people’s rights. Could they make any laws that either try to make weird compliance requirements for air guns or air pellet guns? Where they would be effectively banned, basically, without saying, oh, you can’t have it. You just have to have all these different bells and whistles. Or is it just full preemption? And there’s nothing they can do. Evan Nappen 18:52 Well, it might, you might be able to create a license or permit system, maybe, if there’s no ban. Because currently in New Jersey, you still need a Firearms ID Card to purchase an air gun, or, you know, long arm. Air guns are technically defined as shotguns, even if they have a rifle barrel, and therefore a firearm, because they don’t fire fixed ammunition. So, it puts them into the shotgun long arm category, which is why you would need a Firearms ID Card. And if it’s a handgun, then you would need a Pistol Purchase Permit, if you’ve acquire those air guns in New Jersey. Now, if you acquire air guns outside New Jersey, federal law doesn’t view them as firearms. If the state you’re in doesn’t view them as firearms, like Pennsylvania doesn’t, you can acquire air guns outside the jurisdiction of New Jersey, and you can bring them back to New Jersey and possess them in New Jersey. Without even having a Firearm ID Card, if you possess them, by way of the exemptions. But New Jersey regulates air guns by way of firearm licensing, but it doesn’t, it cannot ban them. Judge Brown declared New Jersey’s assault firearm law a de facto ban, and because it’s a de facto ban, you can’t ban air guns with a ban, and the de facto band did just that. So, maybe New York, in theory, could create, you know, licensing, maybe. Depending on how they structure it. But an outright ban that forces guns that are air guns into an imitation firearm category, that requires a plug, is completely and utterly contradiction to the federal preemption law regarding those type of guns. Teddy Nappen 20:59 Watch as Hakeem. Watch as Hakeem Jeffries introduces a bill to repeal the air gun preemption. Page – 5 – of 10 Evan Nappen 21:06 You never know, right? I mean, he might. He might decide that. But this was fought for back in the day, and it was great that, I know, Daisy played a major role, by the way, in getting that legislation through. And it is why we have actually stronger protections for air guns, BB guns and traditional pellet firing guns of that nature, and for that matter, paintball as well. Even though we also have the In Re Gong case in New Jersey that protects paintball markers and why you can have paintball. Essentially soft air falls under this protection as well. So, it’s interesting how our laws have evolved. But this preemptive federal law needs to be better known and out there, to be used to stop these repression Second Amendment states from doing their thing. Teddy Nappen 22:11 Just to play with the idea. Let’s say, if things get very, very bad and the states start legislating. In terms of technology, do you think they’ll ever get to a point for air guns to be essentially like carry guns, almost where there’s a way around it? Evan Nappen 22:27 Well, you know, we have Byrnas, right? They fire projectiles that are essentially pepper balls. It was, given how much, you know, we might be able to do that. But federal law doesn’t preempt carry. They would preempt sale. And according to Judge Brown as well, sale extends to possession. It’s not just limited to sale. And really Judge Brown in the logic in that case could actually be used, I think, as an argument against what recently has been determined in the weird trick, as they call it, the weird trick, where they’re claiming that a sale isn’t protected under the Second Amendment, just possession. And that they can ban the sale of various semi-automatics that they feel shouldn’t be possessed, even though they’re not banning possession, and that somehow you can distinguish that. Evan Nappen 23:38 But Judge Brown cut through that garbage in terms of the air gun preemption by saying no, it is a de facto ban. When you ban the sale, you ban the possession. You could follow the logic of Judge Brown in that case and maybe apply it even in these other challenges and fights that we have. But, yeah, I mean, to make an air pistol that has the power of a weapon probably could be done. Look, even I don’t want to get shot with anything, even a BB pistol. Who wants to get shot with anything? But whether it would be effective enough for general, truly effective self-defense, remains to be seen. I don’t know of any actual lethal handgun development in air guns out there that is truly designed to be a self-defense gun. I don’t know of that. Now, less than lethal, of course, you’re dealing with Byrnas, when it comes to less than lethal. Evan Nappen 24:43 Hey, let’s mention our good friends at WeShoot.

So, Teddy, what is on your mind today? Teddy Nappen 27:45 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free. I think everyone’s been kind of seeing the news hit with what’s been going on. You know, Trump with the Pope. And I want to start things off. To every, you know, all the Catholic listeners, do not think on this as a theological lens. Think of this as a political. They were not, you know, I’m not arguing spiritual, the spiritual aspect of it. I am talking the politics, the hard core politics. And what do I see here? I see an individual arguing. If you were to listen to someone who made an argument for climate change, open borders, against capitalism and economic inequalities, and also pushing for gun rights oppression, you would assume it’s a woke Democrat, progressive. Yet, those are the views espoused by the Pope. The sources are here for that. (https://www.newsweek.com/what-pope-leo-said-abortion-gun-control-2070019) You can look it up. You can see it all across the internet. Teddy Nappen 28:51 Crowder did a great job breaking it all down. (https://rumble.com/v78i7r0-trump-vs.-the-vatican-why-the-pope-should-stay-out-of-politics.html) But I wanted to dive a little deeper on the thing that matters to us the most, which is the Second Amendment. Evan Nappen 28:59 Wait. Who’s Crowder? Teddy Nappen 29:00 Steven Crowder. He is Louder with Crowder. He does a great show. He breaks down the whole deal and shows what this individual, prior to becoming Pope, would go to bat on. Bashing Trump, bashing J.D. Vance, pushing for open borders. Oh, my God, what’s that thing surrounding the Vatican? Page – 7 – of 10 Evan Nappen 29:19 Oh, you mean the wall. It’s pretty crazy. I’ve been there. Vatican is cool. It really is. Teddy Nappen 29:24 Yeah, and that’s what I mean. You have to. And then, of course, he goes on and says, I don’t want to talk about politics, but then voices his opinion on every political stance. It’s incredibly disingenuous. And almost I want to call, to call, like, cognitive dissonance, where he’s understanding, like, how much that comes off. So, just to point out a few things here. This comes right from the NCR online, right here. From the Pope, when it was two bishops, we hold prayer. This is after one of the big shootings. We hold prayer for the countless to the countless children killed and injured every day around the world. Let us plead to G-d to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small. I have heard that term many times, the pandemic of arms. Where does that come from? Oh, the gun rights oppressors. And the same Cardinals. Evan Nappen 30:24 Well, wait and the reason is, by making it, putting it in a health context, they want to use it. So, they can use it to go after the political issue regarding health insurance. They want to make it a health issue. This was their actual plan, and I personally heard it espoused early on by Josh Sugarman, when Hillary Clinton was pushing for national health care. How they want to make guns a health issue, and they sure as hell have done a good job of that, actually. And they’ve gotten the CDC involved. They got the pediatricians and the doctors. You’re asked questions about, are you a gun owner? By your doctor. This didn’t happen by magic. This is all part of the plan. So, by calling it pandemic, by looking at it in that way, it’s pushing the gun rights oppression via the political issue of health care. Teddy Nappen 31:32 Yeah, and also the fact that his fellow Cardinals at that time were also taking it a step further, saying the facts are clear. Guns are plentiful and common sense attempts to limit their availability have largely been rejected in the name of freedom not found in our Constitution. Huh? I don’t think they read the Constitution, or they skipped some pages. You know, they only went to the things that mattered to them. But I didn’t hear him call out and say, no, no, we’re not about that. We’re not about disarming our people. By the way, it doesn’t really work out too well when a group of individuals are disarmed. You know, those of religion, of religious faith. Just looking at history, mind you. Going back, by the way, this goes back even prior to, when he was just the Cardinal. In 2017 after the mass shooting in Las Vegas, he reposts Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat, to my colleagues, your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers. None of this ends unless we do something to stop it. Increase access to mental health care and stronger, quote, unquote, sensible gun control laws. Hmm, I wonder what that sounds like. Evan Nappen 32:48 Yeah, it’s true. Well, you know, there’s the politics of it, then there’s the economics of it. You know, there’s donations and such. There’s all these kind of things that have unfortunately skewed, skewed what’s going on. As a matter of fact, I want to mention, and I don’t know if I ever told you, Teddy. About the time that Frank Perdue, okay, remember Frank Perdue with Purdue chicken there? Well, he wanted to better promote chicken, which was always his mission. You know, it’s true, true story about him. Page – 8 – of 10 Remember his slogan? It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken. Right? That was his slogan for many, many years. You’d see Frank Perdue’s face on billboards. It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken. And this is a true story now. I know this is a little bit off the topic, but I’m going to get back to how this applies to what you’re talking about. Evan Nappen 33:49 But they did try to market in Spain, true story. And when the translators translated, it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken in Spain, they put up the billboards with Frank’s face, you know, with his slogan. And the translators for the word “tough” used the word “macho”. We all you know, in America, macho means tough. However, in Spain, in Spanish, “macho” means “sexually excited”. So, everyone was driving by billboards with Frank Perdue’s face, saying, it takes a sexually excited man to make a tender chicken. But I digress. Evan Nappen 34:27 Let me tell you about what happened when Frank Perdue really wanted to market chicken. And, you know, he went to the Pope and he said, I would like you to change, Give us this day our daily bread, to Give us this day, our daily chicken. And the Pope said, No way. I’m not going to do that. He goes, look, we’ll donate $10 million to the church. What do you say? Pope said, No, not doing it. Frank Perdue upped his offer, 100 million. The Pope wouldn’t do it. Finally, Perdue says, look, $1 billion to change, give us this day, our daily bread, to give us this day our daily chicken. And look for a billion dollars. He figured how much good the church could do around the world with a billion dollars, and agreed to do it. And at that time, the Pope had a big meeting with all the Cardinals and everyone, and he said, I have good news and I have bad news. He said, the good news is the Purdue chicken company has donated $1 billion to the Catholic Church, and it’s going to be wonderful for us. The bad news is we lost the Wonder Bread account. Okay, so anyway. I know. That was pretty bad. Teddy Nappen 35:51 Well, I know. Funny enough, sure enough, from MSN last Thursday, Pope Leo also met with David Axelrod, Democrat strategist. Evan Nappen 36:00 Oh, really? Teddy Nappen 36:01 Advisor to Barack Obama. Evan Nappen 36:03 Oh, is that all. Teddy Nappen 36:03 Right up in the midterms, when, when things are coming up and trying to go after the Catholic vote. But this is my point. This is where and to show the true hypocrisy. Like I said, that wall surrounding Vatican City and yet talks about open borders. I thought to myself, what do the Vatican guard carry? What does Page – 9 – of 10 the Swiss guard carry? What is their, what is their choice? (https://maxtacticalfirearms.com/blog/vatican-armory-swiss-guard/) Evan Nappen 36:26 Wait, the Swiss guard has guns? Teddy Nappen 36:28 I know, right? Evan Nappen 36:29 In the Vatican? Teddy Nappen 36:31 Not just guns, the deadly assault firearms. If they can define it for me. Evan Nappen 36:36 No way, no way. Wait, actually, I think they’re truly assault firearms because I believe they’re select fire. So, those are actual assault firearms, not the nonsense of what the gun rights oppressionists claim are assault firearms. So, what model? Do you know what model they have? I think it’s one of the SIGs. Teddy Nappen 37:03 Well, the original one, they were using the K31s. Evan Nappen 37:07 Oh, well, those are bolt actions. Teddy Nappen 37:11 They decided to upgrade after, apparently, there was an attempted attack on the Pope in 1981. So, they upgraded their arms, and now they are using, apparently, they got the Sig Sauers. They love Sig Sauer. They got the Sig Sauer SG 552 commando as their current choice. Evan Nappen 37:32 Oh, commandos. Nice. Well, look, I totally am in favor of the Pope and the Vatican being protected by firearms. Absolutely. It makes sense. But then try to promote disarming anybody else, that’s another story. Teddy Nappen 37:50 Yeah. And also, they upgraded themselves with Sig Sauer P220s, and along with the and that’s there. By the way, the Honor Guard carry those. The plain clothes travel ones will carry Glock 19s. Evan Nappen 38:03 So, other than having a wall and having guns, that all makes sense for their positions. Page – 10 – of 10 Teddy Nappen 38:13 Oh, and also on the politics sevens, when they want to swap out every occasion, oh, G-d, okay. Evan Nappen 38:21 Well, Teddy, I appreciate you pointing this out. And as you said, it’s not about the spiritual issue. It’s just that the politics are there, and we have to be vigilant about the politics. No matter where it creeps in. Even if it’s in our beliefs. You know, it’s still there, and we need to always vigorously defend our rights and put the arguments forward. And that’s what’s important. Evan Nappen 38:52 Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU. And this week’s GOFU, you know the GOFU is the Gun Owner Fuck Up. And I’m going to tell you, man, I have seen it. This one is just everywhere, because New Jersey has made anyone who gets a mental health commitment, involuntary or voluntary, it becomes a disqualifier to get a gun. Folks, let that sink in. If you voluntarily check in to get mental health help, as soon as you voluntarily commit to getting the help, guess what? You now have cost yourself your gun rights. Under New Jersey law, within five days of that, you’re supposed to turn in your Firearms ID Card. You become disqualified under New Jersey gun law. If you simply have seen any doctor or psychiatrist for a mental health reason, New Jersey will question you about it. And now you will have the added burden, just on seeing a doctor, no less a voluntary commitment, okay? Just seeing the doctor. Now you’re going to have to find a doctor willing to say that you’re safe for firearms. And the problem is, doctors are cowards. Even if they know you’re good for guns, they don’t want to say it. Because if there’s ever a problem, they’re afraid they’re going to get sued. And if you ever have a voluntary commitment, well, that’s just a per se bar. If it’s an involuntary commitment, well, you’re not only banned under state law, but you’re banned under federal law, my friends. Beware of the mental health trap that exists which will disenfranchise you of your gun rights. And look, I get it. If you need mental help, then I don’t want to say, don’t get it. But make sure you have, in your calculation, what will the ramifications be? It’s not something to do lightly, that is for sure. Evan Nappen 41:23 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

In this episode, we chat with Phillip Guadalupe from Crosman.  He gives us the rundown on modern PCP air rifles explaining how powerful, accurate, and quiet they can be. Whether its backyard pest control or big game hunting, Crosman has the tool to get the job done.

Today’s episode is an interview with Ohio Pharmacist Dave Bitkowski.  Dave is an advocate for his daughter Melissa and her rare kidney disease GPA (granulomatosis with polyangiitis).  He is also a pharmacist entrepreneur who provides entertainment in the form of air gun targets.  Mentioned in this episode Dave’s company is RX Target Systems www.rxtargetsystems.com  Email: dave@rxtargetsystems.com  Facebook: Rx Target Systems by David A Bitkowski  Instagram: @rxtargetsystems   Twitter:  @SystemsRx  Youtube:  Rx Target Systems  LinkedIn:  David Bitkowski  GPA (granulomatosis with polyangiitis) is a rare kidney disease Melissa was treated at CS MOTT Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan Medical Center https://www.mottchildren.org  Pyramyd Air Cup Competitions https://www.pyramydaircup.com To purchase RX Target systems, visit rxtargetsystems.com or the following vendors: Baker Airguns https://www.bakerairguns.com  American Airgunner https://www.americanairgunner.com  High Pressure Pneumatics https://myhighpressureair.com/?olsPage=products   Utah Airguns https://utahairguns.com (late May 2020) RX Target Systems are used on quality assurance ranges at Corporations such as  UTG https://www.leapers.com  Crosman https://www.crosman.com  Umarex https://www.umarexusa.com  Dave Bitkowski’s Bio Dave Bitkowski graduated from the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy with his Bachelor of Science Degree in 1995. He is a long term care pharmacist in Northwest Ohio.  Dave Founded Rx Target Systems in 2017.  RX Target Systems is a premium target manufacturing business for airsoft guns and air guns.  I invited Dave on the podcast because he advocates, educates, and entertains.   Dave’s daughter Melissa has a rare kidney disease called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (also known as GPA), and he is her advocate.  To help with the cost of her care and to have a creative outlet, Dave used his air-gun hobby to launch a business.   He educates air gunners that a simple tool, like his targets, can enhance skill without costing a lot of money.  Rx Target System’s mission is not only to enhance air gun marksmanship skills, but also to increase pediatric kidney disease awareness.  He fits into the entertainment category too because his product entertains air gun enthusiasts at home and in competition.   Products sold by Rx Target Systems have earned favorable reviews by leaders in the air gun sporting industry.  For example the Pyramyd Air Cup speed shooting competition featured RX Target Systems in 2019.  RX Target Systems are also used on quality assurance ranges at Corporations such as UTG, Crosman, and Umarex.   Dave Bitkowski is pharmacist entrepreneur with a great story! Melissa’s Story Dave’s daughter Melissa got sick with a rare kidney disease called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) when she was 6 years old (in 1st grade).  She is now 11 years old.   Facts about GPA According to medscape.com, the prevalence of GPA in the United States is estimated to be 3 cases per 100,000 people.  It is a rheumatological disorder, and Melissa’s form of GPA was localized to her kidneys.  It is more common in adults, ages 40-65.  At the time of her diagnosis, Melissa’s GPA was the second Toledo, OH-area case her pediatric nephrologist had seen in 15 years. Kidney donor testing is like astronaut testing:  labs, physicals, scans, and more. A living donor and a deceased donor were both considered.  Willing family members were tested:  Mom, Dad, and a cousin.  A physical exam was needed to determine physical fitness to withstand the donation surgery.  The kidneys themselves were scanned.  Blood test results for Rh factor and kidney function were performed.  Plus, the economic impact on the family was considered.  Finding the best match possible is time-consuming and complicated.  It took almost a year to complete testing, pick a donor, and schedule a surgery date.  Melissa was 9 years old when she got her new kidney. Who is Melissa’s kidney donor? Melissa hoped for a woman’s kidney, and a female cousin became Melissa’s kidney donor.   The transplant team walked past with a cooler… Dave recounted seeing the transplant team walk from the adult donor’s recovery area to his daughter’s pediatric surgery unit WITH A COOLER.  Time stopped, and he witnessed a miracle being delivered.  (It was Melissa’s new kidney!) Why did the transplant happen on 7/11? Melissa was able to pick the date because she had a living donor.  Melissa recognized that 7/11 is a lucky number combo and picked that date.  How does Melissa’s life post-transplant affect your family?   Melissa needs to take a number of medications every 12 hours to prevent her body from rejecting  the donor kidney, among other concerns.  She needs her temperature checked routinely.  Fluid goals need to be met daily to avoid dehydration.   How does an organ transplant affect Melissa’s school day? School has been accommodating with extra bathroom breaks and cautioning the family about health threats.  Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school nurse would communicate flu outbreaks and other concerns so Melissa can wash hands more, wear a mask, etc. How does Melissa’s organ transplant affect extracurricular opportunities?   Sleepovers are more complicated.  If Melissa needs her medications while outside the home, reminders are needed, but she can still participate.  Non-contact sports are the only ones allowed.   How has your background as a pharmacist helped your family navigate your daughter’s kidney disease?   It’s a double-edged sword.  Dave is a pharmacist and a medication expert.  He also understands insurance hurdles and how to navigate them. He was able to talk to his daughter’s nephrologist and healthcare team on a high level.  He can also fill her medication boxes.   Dave and his wife make a great team! Dave and his wife care for their daughter Melissa together.  Dave takes the lead on medical issues.  His wife takes the lead on Melissa’s social life, school responsibilities, etc.  They make a great team! What is one of the biggest challenges you have had to overcome with your daughter’s GPA? Finding a “new normal” with restrictions.  Leaving the house had to wait until some time after the kidney transplant.  Going on vacation or to a crowded restaurant or movie theater right after the transplant was impossible.  Plus, focusing on “just being a Dad” and putting Melissa first during the crisis was a challenge.  It’s hard to get bad news and move forward. Support is important Dave and his family had faith that things would be ok. His employer was very understanding of his family’s situation and allowed one month off. The social worker staff at U of M encouraged healing for Melissa and the entire family. Dave’s wife quit her job to stay home and care for their daughter.  RX Target Systems builds and sells air gun targets   For more information, visit https://www.rxtargetsystems.com. Dave founded the company in March 2017 with the encouragement of his peers in the air gun community.   Business Goals Improve client marksmanship and skill level with his shooting products Raise awareness about GPA (granulomatosis with polyangiitis) on the business website Support a fund in his daughter’s name at the University of Michigan.  (The fund helps social workers who serve families who have a child on dialysis.)  A portion of the income from RX Target Systems goes to The Fund.  Dave wants to help others. Earn money to fund his daughter’s ongoing healthcare needs. Dave’s air gun hobby started in 2006 Dave started shooting air guns as a hobby in 2006.  He started with a basic pellet gun and graduated to more powerful air guns, which are used in sporting competitions and hunting. RX Target Systems are featured and sold at speed-shooting competitions.   There are 3 types of air gun events:  field target, benchrest, and speed shooting.  Dave made speed-shooting targets for an event called the Pyramyd Air Gun Competition in August 2019.  To learn more, visit  https://www.pyramydaircup.com.  RX Target Systems were the first resettable speed targets used at that level of competition in the US.  Because target reset time was fast, the length of the competition was cut in half!   RX Target Systems are also great for backyard and range use With more people staying at home due to COVID-19, they’re bored and looking for something to do.  Some people are trying air guns and target-shooting with Dave’s products.   RX Target Systems are the next generation of air gun targets Air guns have become so powerful that there weren’t air gun targets strong enough for them and firearms targets were needed.  Dave saw that as a problem and created the next generation of air gun targets that can handle high-powered air guns.   What do you love most about RX Target Systems? Educating air gunners that a simple tool (a target!) can enhance skill and doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Recognition from peers in the air gun industry.   Camaraderie in the air gun community to advance the sport.   Educating others about GPA and raising money for a fund that helps others. What’s something people don’t realize about being a pharmacist entrepreneur?  Business skills weren’t covered in pharmacy school, but you can learn what you need to know.  The skills you need to learn something new are the same skills you used to complete your pharmacy education.  Being a pharmacist helps with RX Target Systems because of the teaching element.  Counseling patients and educating air gun enthusiasts is similar.  Closing remarks When you struggle, how you react defines you.  Face your hard times; move forward; and prevail.   The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast has listeners in 36 US States and 21 countries.

On this day, March 17th 2017, Dave's oldest daughter contracted a rare auto immune disease that threatened her life and the medical treatments necessary became a financial burden on the family. Having to think and act quickly amongst all the chaos, Dave and his family bravely decided to take his newfound hobby of making airgun targets to the next level in an effort to help make ends meet as they went through this very trying time. Not only was he able to create a product that filled a huge gap in the market with exceptional quality but he was also able to make things work to provide financially for his family and even went as far as donating part of his proceeds to a fund that is set up to help families of pediatric patients like his as they face similar struggles. Since his endeavor he has managed to be recognized and his products used by names such as Crosman, Umarex, Pyramyd Air and Utah Airguns and several more to be featured in the near future.

John Crosman, Sphera’s lead process safety consultant, talks action management best practices, in the latest edition of the SpheraNOW podcast. It’s critical that companies close out actions for risk assessments to ensure follow-through. But, as Crosman explains, “a lot of us work in our own little bubbles or our own little words, and we forget that there’s a bigger system or a bigger picture at play.” The problem is that action items sometimes don’t translate well between departments or even co-workers. So what can companies do to fix that problem? Crosman has some ideas. You’ll just need to tune in to find out what some of his expert recommendations are.

Crosman News – Jason Reid Jason Reid Crosman Crosman Founded in 1923 Jason Reid is a bowhunter, DIY adventure junkie, freelance writer and originator of Crosman News – Jason Reid Marketing Manager for the Crosman Corporation. https://www.crosman.com ATA introduction of the Benjamin Air Bow…The definitive guide to the new Pioneer Airbow by Benjamin, the premiere hunting brand of Crosman Corporation. https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1094300077 With a focus towards educating wildlife agency professionals, legislators and others on the functionality, features and benefits of this revolutionary new hunting weapon. Professional hunter Jim Shockey stated it best in explaining his support of the Pioneer Airbow®: “Despite equipment innovations over the years, we hunters have learned to coexist. I believe we’ve become more accepting of each other, no matter what type of hunting tool we choose. And this is a good thing for the future of our hunting heritage. As hunting equipment manufacturers have innovated, the hunting market has grown, more people have jobs in our industry, and wild places and wild animals are better off. More hunters mean more dollars for wildlife conservation.” Two hundred years ago an airgun helped lead the expansion of the West as part of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery expedition. Today, Crosman Corporation continues the exploration of new territory with pneumatic power and the Airbow® is leading the way. CenterPoint, the optics and archery brand of Crosman Corporation, is proud to to announce the Sniper 370 crossbow has been recognized as Outdoor Life Magazine’s “Great Buy” selection in the publication’s annual archery review. Revealed in January, the Sniper has impressed industry experts and consumers with its build quality, performance and price point. “CenterPoint Crossbows represent the very best in value and performance. Every crossbow includes quality optics and accessories to meet the challenges of today’s modern archery hunter,” says Jennifer Lambert, VP of Marketing. “We thank Outdoor Life for this recognition and welcome everyone to try out the CenterPoint Sniper at their local sporting goods store.”
