Dear WLS

• Question from Beefa King Your Mom I just put together an AR10 in .308 and would like to take it hunting for pronghorn out in Colorado. I threw a 1-6 LPVO on it so I could take it to the range but do you think I should upgrade optics?
• Question from Keith M WINNER Form 1 question, when the atf asks for photos for a suppressor build is it of raw materials or what ?
  Appreciate y’all and enjoy listening , makes the work day go by faster& annoys the libtards
• Question from Jason L First off, which Gideon optic would you recommend for a 43X? Secondly, my 12yo son wants to get into USPSA shooting. Should we do it and if we should, any advice?
• Question from KY Horseman from KY Dear WLS
  KY Horseman

  Thinking about getting a Henry Supreme. What do y’all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future. I was leaning towards the 556 version since I already have a stock pile of 556 ammo. What do y’all think?

  Thanks

• Question from Ken G. from Virginia Ask WLS: I believe local gun shops are critical to the protection of the second amendment. It seems that online sales are hurting my local shops that don’t have a range attached for revenue. Is there a national association that supports and protects independent dealers from unfair trade practices? I recently read about the Robinson-Patman Act. It seems like a well established group could use this act to end the unfair pricing that makes it difficult for small businesses to compete.
