Dear WLS

  • Question from Micah Oxard ♻️
    Any updates with potential holster sponsorships? Jeremy’s still a cunt. Happy holidays.
  • Question from Drew Peabauls ♻️
    I’m planning to purchase a Mitchell defense 10.3” DOC for a home defense rifle. Considering the potential indoor use case, I want to run a dedicated suppressor. What recommendations do you have for the quietest can with low back pressure? No price limitations.
  • Question from Brassguy Jarhead ♻️
    “Do ya have any experience with Right to Bear Arms builder sets? If so, what are your thoughts? I’m going to build a 204 Ruger and was going to use an Aero Precision builder set but apparently they quit doing those. Thanks for the input. No notes. PS. Jeremy is a cunt”
  • Question from Karl F ♻️
    Hey guys! I live in Virginia and that isn’t going to change anytime soon due to proximity to family. Unfortunately, after recent elections, we are almost guaranteed to be facing an assault weapons ban along with a myriad of other gun control next year. I’m currently stocking up in hopes of a grandfather clause. I have plenty of AR15 components; however, I don’t have any piston guns. Any suggestions for something I should consider picking up before I can’t anymore? I’m not interested in an AK, and I would like to stick to either 556, 300 Blackout, or 6.5 creedmore. I’m leaning towards a 16″” barrel but am open to others. My first thought was a BRN-4 from Brownells but they appear to be all out of stock at the moment. Any input is appreciated. Keep up the great show. #blamecanada
  • Question from Harry Pickle ♻️
    Is it just me or is it the older I get (im 29) the more I appreciate the bush on a woman. Do yall appreciate the bush? I’m all for bringing back the 70s hair and 70s bush, and I’m not talking about no landing strip I’m talking about ZZ Top eating a beef and cheddar
  • Question from Nightwasher513 TX ♻️
    Thank you for trying to answer my question on episode 435. It was about making a pistol brace for your 3d printed firearms. My follow up question is. What is the likelihood that any of the 3d printed pistols with a pistol brace, would have gotten a letter from the ATF. Case in point, the MacDaddy MAC 11 has a pistol brace designed on it. So then since that designer most likely has not gotten a letter from the ATF, does that mean the 1000s of people that have printed it and installed it are breaking the law? That being said, is there any negative effects on submitting a brace design to the ATF. I carry every day with my DB Alloy MAC 11 in my backpack? And last follow up question. If a steel plate at had a serial number engraved on it to ATF specs that then was inserted into the printed frame during the printing process and could not be removed without destroying the print be in compliance with the ATF rules? I really hope you read this question before Aaron gets back. #NOAARON.
  • Question from Duzzit Fittenmy ♻️
    Camorado is Rad. When are we going to get line of flannel shirts? I think each WLS cast member should come up with their own flannel pattern and color scheme.
  • Question from Mitch C ♻️
    Which 9mm revolver would you guys get if you wanted to dip your toes in the revolver classes of your local matches? Red dot and holster compatible. Or would you just not be a poor, broke ass bitch and shoot .38? Thanks for everything, daddies *reader of this question then lets out a little moan*
