DEAR WLS

• Question from OopsieDaisy from California For double tap by OopsieDaisy

  I’ve been listening to a lot of old episodes and started the book One Second After, a book Jeremy talked about and holy fuck it’s good. Since an EMP would wreck all of the electronics in vehicles, what EMP-safe vehicle would you guys choose to take into an EMP ridden world? You have 10 grand to spend. Go.

• Question from Mike in NH 1st: quick positive review for C&G, I’ve been carrying my CSX-E series in a Covert for a month now, so great. Thank you to Chris and company

  2nd: At what point does a used pick up become too nice/collectible to use/carry? I recently purchased a S&W 640-2. I didn’t know anything about it apart from it was in excellent condition, and that it was pre-Lock. I thought it was weird for a steel J-frame to be 38spl only. It turns out the -2 was only made 1997-99 for NYPD as an approved back-up/off duty weapon. So it’s kind of rare.

  Thanks for the opinions and the great shows.

• Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude

  Hey fam,

  Thanks for reading my question on episode 449 about carry guns and meth country.

  My definition for meth country is either:

  1. Urban sprawls (ex. Tulsa, Memphis) where hard drug use is prevalent

  2. Rural areas (ex. West Virginia) where high poverty creates new hard drugs and users

  But going back to my question on 44 special in particular. Why does no one make a 44spc+P? I was looking for something like 1000-1200 fps 200gr out of a 4in barrel and I could not find any factory loads or even Underwood ammo that makes +P rounds. I have a 329PD that I like, but you will snap your wrist before you get through an entire cylinder of factory load 44 magnum. I was looking at that new s&w nightguard 396 but with my mind blown on how anemic 44 special is, I think I might have to pass. Do ya ll have any recommendations on 44mag/ special revolvers for EDC carry?

• Question from amonymous texas from coward from Texas Where can I find ammo to fight robots? There’s a company called roborounds (roborounds.com if you are not familiar) that has a lot of cool bullets you can fire from standard firearms. For instance one fragments iron filings to short out circuit boards and another one creates a localized EMP on impact. The fucking robots are coming and I need this ammo, but I can’t find a place to buy it. I see a few online retailers who used to carry it. I tried contacting them and they won’t get back to me. Probably because I’m a nobody.

  If these guys are done, is anyone else making anything similar?

  Second related question: what about drone defense rounds? They had some cool stuff for 12 ga shells, but I have seen similar stuff from other companies. Are there any specific ones you know of or recommend?

• Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon From No one

  Your printers are always running. What are you guys printing? Except Jeremy. He don’t mess with that nerd shit.

• Question from Jon W from Washington Jon W

  I unfortunately live behind enemy lines in Washington state. Years ago when they first became sponsors, I took you up on your advice and signed up for Second call Defense and felt reassured that they had my back if the worst day ever happened. Since that time, our now turd Ferguson governor who used to be the Attorney General made having said insurance illegal in Washington.

  My question is hypothetically if a person had a close relative in another state could they sign up for Second Call Defense Using that address? They have said that they cover people that are signed up even if an incident occurs in a state like Washington, New York and I forget the other states that think it’s murder Insurance.

  Your wisdom is greatly appreciated

  Keep up the good work!
