    Exigent Defense Owner on the Future of Suppressors and the NFA | EP46

    Suppressors are changing fast, and the recent NFA developments could reshape how American gun owners buy, transfer, and think about them. In this episode of We Da People, we sit down with Evan from Exigent Defense to break down what’s happening with suppressor regulations, 4473 transfers, and the technology pushing modern suppressors forward. We get deep into 3D-printed suppressors, additive manufacturing, Inconel vs titanium suppressors, reduced back pressure designs, direct thread vs QD suppressors, flash suppression, heat management, barrel length, and why buying the “do everything” suppressor may not actually be the smartest move. The conversation also moves beyond equipment. We discuss representation in the firearms industry, how social media algorithms shape perceptions of gun culture, why the 2A community needs room for different types of gun owners, and why more people need to move from simply consuming firearms products to designing, manufacturing, and building businesses of their own. In this episode we cover: - NFA suppressor changes and 4473 transfers - What the current suppressor landscape means for gun owners - 3D-printed suppressors and additive manufacturing - Inconel vs titanium vs stainless suppressors - Low back pressure and reduced gas blowback - Direct thread vs QD suppressor mounts - Choosing a suppressor for your actual use case - Representation and diversity within the 2A community Key takeaway: There is no perfect suppressor for every rifle — understand your application before buying.

    Military to Civilian Life: The Transition Nobody Prepares You For | EP45

    Life can change fast. Money dries up, relationships shift, careers end, identities get stripped away, and suddenly the version of yourself you depended on no longer works. In this episode of We Da People, Shelton and the crew sit down with retired Special Forces veterans Renford Ligon and Quojuante Moreland for a raw conversation about men navigating life transitions. They unpack what happens when military identity gives way to civilian life, when financial success disappears, when marriage or relationships change, and when pride makes it harder to ask for help. The conversation gets into military transition, veteran life after service, male friendship, brotherhood, ego and pride, financial setbacks, marriage, divorce, mental resilience, and rebuilding after failure. The guests also explain why leaving the military can feel isolating after years of living inside a high-performance team environment, and why the right circle of men can make the difference when life starts closing in. In this episode we cover: - Transitioning from Special Forces to civilian life - Losing money and rebuilding after financial setbacks - Why ego can stop men from asking for help - Brotherhood, loyalty, accountability, and real friendship - Marriage, divorce, relationships, and changing identity - Veteran mental health and adjusting after military service - Why comfort and complacency can stop personal growth - Knowing who is really with you when life changes

    Idaho Shooting Hero Jordan Salinas: Should Civilians Intervene? | EP44

    A gunfight erupts in public. You are armed, your family is nearby, and every second matters. Do you move toward the threat, protect the people around you, or get out and call the police? The We Da People crew is joined by Quojuante Moreland and Renford Ligon, both retired Green Berets and former Special Forces, for a direct conversation about active shooter response, concealed carry, truck guns, and defensive gun use. They break down the In-N-Out shooting scenario discussed in the episode and ask where intervention ends and unnecessary risk begins. The conversation covers realities that shooting drills cannot fully recreate: incoming fire, crowded backdrops, crossfire, police arriving without complete information, and the possibility of being mistaken for the attacker. The crew also discusses truck guns, concealed carry, conflict avoidance, protecting your family, administering aid, and how a defensive decision may later look to a jury. The central question is not simply whether you can make the shot. It is whether taking that shot is necessary, responsible, and defensible. Follow the show and leave a rating if you’re enjoying it.

    The Dark Side of AI: Jobs, Privacy and Surveillance | We Da People Podcast EP43

    Artificial intelligence is already changing how people work, communicate, create, shop, and consume information. But is it helping us think more clearly—or teaching us to stop thinking for ourselves? In this episode of We Da People, Shelton, Colin, and Fred explore the tension between AI’s benefits and its growing risks. They break down the difference between today’s large language models and true artificial general intelligence, then discuss why confident-sounding AI answers can still be wrong. The conversation expands into job displacement, automated customer service, self-driving transportation, AI-generated resumes, and the pressure workers may face to adapt. The crew also examines Flock cameras, phone tracking, medical data, and the larger question of what happens when governments, corporations, or individuals misuse powerful surveillance systems. They also challenge the role of social media algorithms in promoting rage, division, and conflict—especially inside the 2A community—while highlighting practical ways people can use AI for business, education, preparedness, and greater independence. The technology is not slowing down. The real challenge is learning how to benefit from it without giving up privacy, judgment, or human connection.

    EDC Gun Belts vs Battle Belts: What You Actually Need | We Da People Podcast EP42

    Your firearm is only the beginning of a dependable carry setup. In this episode of We Da People, Shelton, Colin, and Fred break down why the right EDC gun belt or battle belt can improve comfort, retention, consistency, and your draw—and why a regular department-store belt may be holding your entire setup back. The crew compares rigid concealed carry belts, ratcheting systems, Cobra buckles, inner-and-outer range belts, MOLLE mounting, and different ways to organize a practical loadout. They discuss their real-world experiences with Kore Essentials, Blue Alpha, Safariland retention holsters, magazine pouches, dump pouches, medical kits, leg straps, ride height, and the compromises between competition gear, survival gear, and everyday carry. This is not about copying somebody else’s belt. It is about building mission-specific gear around your body type, environment, training style, firearm, weapon light, optic, and budget. The crew also explains why testing your equipment through movement, weather, extended wear, and realistic training matters more than how tactical it looks online.

    How to Start Hunting: Lessons From Eric Morris

    Hunting is about far more than carrying a rifle into the woods. It requires patience, fieldcraft, sound decision-making, respect for the land, and the ability to remain calm when a situation goes wrong. In this episode of We Da People, experienced hunter, outdoor educator, and television producer Eric Morris joins the crew to discuss hunting for beginners, Black representation in the outdoor industry, survival skills, wild game, youth education, and what it takes to become a capable outdoorsman. Eric shares lessons gathered from roughly four decades of hunting, including experiences in Georgia, Alaska, South Africa, Namibia, and beyond. He explains why hunter education alone does not fully prepare someone for the field, how to recognize animal tracks and feeding areas, and why new hunters need hands-on mentorship. The conversation also covers the three-shot emergency distress signal, what to do when lost in the woods, .223 and 5.56 for deer hunting, 300 Blackout subsonic ammunition, hog hunting, shot placement, wild game flavor, and the importance of selecting the right ammunition for the animal being hunted. In this episode we cover: How to begin hunting with no previous experience The three-shot distress signal for lost hunters Why stopping can save you when you are lost .223 and 5.56 ammunition for deer hunting Hog hunting and beginner-friendly hunting options Wild game versus store-bought meat Black hunters and outdoor representation Self-sufficiency, confidence, and outdoor education

    Why Digital Night Vision Might Be the Smart Buy | EP40

    Digital night vision is changing fast — and GoodNiteGear is helping make that technology more accessible for everyday shooters, prepared families, and people who want real capability without jumping straight into a $10,000–$15,000 analog setup. In this episode of We Da People, the crew breaks down the real-world pros, cons, costs, and use cases behind digital NVGs, analog night vision, thermal, and beginner-friendly night vision setups. Big shoutout to our sponsor GoodNiteGear for sending out multiple units for us to test, compare, and put through real use. We got hands-on with the NVG30, NVG40, NVG50, and NVG90 Pro — and the NVG90 Pro had even the analog guys giving digital night vision its respect. From latency and battery life to onboard recording, light discipline, helmet setups, bump helmets, IR lasers, and training under night vision, this episode gets into what actually matters before you spend serious money. The bigger conversation: do you really need a high-dollar analog setup, or is a digital night vision monocular a smarter starting point for survival, preparedness, camping, night shooting, and family use?

    When Do Black Lives Really Matter? Culture, Media & the Black Community | EP39

    When do Black lives really matter? In this episode of We Da People, the crew gets into a raw conversation about Black Lives Matter, community accountability, culture, family, education, and what it really means to move the culture forward. This is not just a conversation about police brutality, politics, or slogans. The hosts unpack the difference between supporting the idea that Black lives matter and blindly supporting every organization, movement, artist, or public figure just because they are Black. The episode challenges the audience to think deeper about Black identity, Black community violence, media influence, fatherhood, education, exposure, and the responsibility we all have to build something better. The crew also talks about glorifying the struggle, supporting Black businesses with standards, the power of music and media, HBCUs, generational trauma, and why real change has to start with the individual before it reaches the family, community, culture, and system. In this episode we cover: Black Lives Matter as a phrase vs an organization Why accountability matters inside the Black community Community violence, outrage, and selective attention How music, media, and culture shape behavior Why education and exposure can change a life The danger of glorifying struggle and trauma Family, fatherhood, legacy, and responsibility How to push the culture forward with action Key takeaway: Black lives matter every day, not just when the cameras are rolling.
