Those wild pigs are a real pain in the ass. My wife and did a catering job up north near Annapolis, CA. It was a wedding in the countryside.
The night before the wedding, those damn wild pigs came through and turned the field into plowed ground, making it very difficult to set up the tent and tables as well as walk around.
My Dad bought Weatherby shotguns. Dad was a dead-eye shot. He won skeet shooting contests. Dad bought me a Browning Citori, which I like very much. The war on guns is very sad to me. Shotguns, BB guns, and squirt guns were a big part of my life.
You can paint guns any color you want in Michigan, unless they pass their new law. Yes, they are planning on making it illegal to paint your firearm or to buy one that is painted.
They claim it will keep the kiddies safe from cops, as if cops will somehow be able to treat all guns as if they are fake, so long as they are painted. Which of course is so dumb it hurts. If cops aren't going to shoot at bad guys because their gun is painted, then All bad guys will paint their guns right before they go out to commit a crime. No cop will EVER be trained to treat a painted gun as a toy, I don't care how many laws they pass.
I also liked his point about military and cops not knowing how to shoot. I ran ranges once in a while (M16 and 9mm) and even the infantrymen were only good on their own weapons, the rest of the service members were terrible. And because of the way barracks living is, it's really not that great of a situation for owning your own private weapons, which you can't generally speaking carry around post. I was one of just a handful of guys who hunted while on active duty, you have to keep your Private weapon in the arms room, for those who don't know.
I grew up with a gun in my hand but that wasn't true for most of the guys, not even in infantry units, most of them weren't all that hot in the woods either, some were downright terrified of getting lost. Land navigation skills were sorely lacking, especially in the officer class. I think having excellent skills in the woods and being a good shot is probably why I made rank extra fast. (2st guy to make E4 out of 300 guys, #1 was shot and killed by his wife.)
Cops are the same, most have one gun and rarely shoot it, that's in the city though.
Around here cops are usually coming from a hunting background and now there is a much bigger culture around AR's than there ever was before. Now cops are pumping iron, shooting AR's and adventure hunting as he calls it. So even the cops shoot more than they used to around here. More than a few of them give shooting classes and permit classes on the side. We also became a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.
Noise suppressors? Hell. The noise is half the fun. The noise scares the feck out of the game and the bad guys. The noise also suppresses the urge to shoot at anything. The noise and recoil keep the shooter honest.
Brian, Ear protection is always worn at the skeet range. But when hunting, there is no ear protection. If I had two shots at game birds on a 4 hour hunting trip in Nebraska, I was lucky.

I hate wild pigs.
OTOH, the make a great BBQ! Feed the whole Wedding Party with one shot...
Brian, Hahaha! Yeah, I packed a weapon on catering jobs. I probably should have in Oakland, CA. The wild pigs were long gone by the time we got there.

Great show!!

Then there is needing hearing aides before you're 50.
