Yeah, it's a post that he made. It was about an intruder that broke into a North Carolina home. But the alleged intruder is now in critical condition because the homeowner had a gun and stopped him.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I had to show you this is me with my grandfather whenever I was a child. I was started on guns even sooner than this, learning how to hunt out on the fields. I've never had a fear of guns. My guns are always safe and locked away. And this is the first time I've actually...

ever said anywhere that I own guns because I was always taught that one of the safe ways of being, like one of the responsible ways of being a gun owner is to not let people know that you actually own them because then they might want to come and steal it. But then also at the same time, not let them know that you don't have it. Like let them constantly question it.

So no one can come through that door and they don't know what to expect. And so I'm going to do the same thing with my kids. They're going to learn gun safety when they're older, not now, but... They're going to learn gun safety because it's the only way to defend yourself. I don't want to be a person. I didn't want to own a gun.

I got it around some election probably like eight years ago, even after, you know, living in Texas and growing up there and never had to use it. And I hope I never do.

Also want to say that as someone I grew up in Texas, and so we were always taught from birth that, you know, California, you would be impossible to get a gun there, that everything's locked down. You have to go through all these hoops and everything. And so I thought that it was going to be a very long, drawn out process. Now, it is a much longer process than you might get in Texas or Alabama.

But when I was in California, there's nothing on my record, nothing on my wife's record. We went and we got the training and we were able to pick up the gun. I think it was 14 days later. Like from start to finish, it was not, it was basically just like a waiting time in case you were some crazy person that wanted to go out and hurt someone. That's considered very strict compared to Texas.

I'm not even against the waiting period. I think that that's especially for places like Los Angeles with high populations. Now in Texas, I don't think you need a waiting period there. That's built into Texas. Everyone has guns from birth.
