2A Procast Ep.25 - Lawsuits against Tacticon, 2A Infighting, and X-Mas Presents.

I'm just a dirty civilian with no real tacticool experience at all. But on my state's page on your Discord, I met some amazing dudes and made good connections. I've been able to go ruck march with some guys and found and supported a local business. All thanks to your Discord. On that ruck march, a bunch of my gear was from you guys. My pack, my belt, a couple pouches, my sling, my optics, my weapon light... I know there are a couple of other things. I'm not wealthy or experienced, so it's good that I'm able to get good, usable gear at an affordable price as I learn how to be a protector.

Oh no it absolutely wasn’t a troll gift! I had seen you were looking for one and I assumed you wanted to do a head to head with the predator v4 my idea was shit you gave me a killer wedding gift and I’ve saved tons of money with my gear I watch you guys do a ton of giveaways that hell I even have won a few I wanted to give back and the discord members were overwhelming enthusiastic so from us to you all Jake Nolan Jason and Colton merry Christmas!

Dang. I was just about to purchase an Aimpoint. Nevermind!

I recently purchased product from you guys, 12/25, not a small order for me in particular, and received notice it was shipping as of 12/30. Your company has been a pleasure to engage with and you have a customer for life. I will continue watching, learning, and appreciating what you do for the 2A community.

Always a great time when them Tacticon boys get on the mic and talk about life.

Have to say, seeing a listing for "Predator V3 smol red dot" would a lot more enticing of a description than micro lol. Keep up the great work fellas.

I love Jake and Nolan's sense of humor. While making a serious point, mis-speaks, puts on a Zoolander voice and makes it a joke, then keeps going. High quality content.

Regarding masculinity and emotional control: I think Die Hard is actually an amazing example of masculine self-control and release of emotion. John McClain's wife is in there, but for most of the movie, he's able to keep the emotions at bay and do what needs doing. But there are two times he gets emotional. One, when he's on the radio with the LA cop and thinks he's about to go on a no-return mission, and wants a message delivered to his wife that he's sorry for being a jerk. But once that message is delivered, he gets control again. The only other time is when the threat is done and he's reunited with his wife. Men need the emotional outlet, too, but differently than women, and we do need that ability to save it for the right time, and stay strong in the moment.

Just to give a compliment, I just received my battlebelt bundle yesterday! It is outstanding and I love the ease of customization. The velcro bags are useful as well. Customer for life! Happy New Year!

I love everything you all do for the firearm community, and for me as well. You all have inspired me to want to start my own business.I've been on the fence for years, but I'm ready to pull the trigger now and I can't wait to be apart of your 2A business's course! Have an amazing new year and I can't wait to see what new things you all will bring to 2024!

You guys rock!!! Thank you for all the entertainment and information that y’all give us. Also thank you for the sticker pack from the 100k giveaway!!

I joined the discord group about 2 months ago and I feel like I found a community that is what America needs. You guys kick ass, keep up the patriotic work gentlemen! 🇺🇲🤘🏻🤘🏻

As one of the 100K givaway winners, thank you for the 45° BattleSights V1. I received my order of Chest rig and Battle vest elite carrier just before Christmas (Christmas gift to self). Love the gear, fits well, decent build and so far more comfortable than other carriers I have, to include a Velocity systems scrab. Keep up the great gear and the excellent podcasts. Shout out to @OGsDangerShow for introducing Tacticon Armament to me.

I love knowing that you hold those trademarks. And bless you for having standers Jake. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You guys deserve all the love. You've helped me out so much in the past few months and done so much for the community you've built. These gifts are small compared to what you have invested into your base. Have a Happy New Year fellas

Just founs you guys about a week ago, ive seen shorts of The Sandal Guy every once in a while but never checked the channel out. I'm glad i finally looked into you guys! I have felt weird trying to join the gun community being younger and having never been in the military, but you guys actively preach to the younger generations because you see the importance of continuing this movement to protect Americans rights. Thanks for having me!

The best brand and best equipment to defend our lives all my load out its from tacticon armament and i love it every time i wear it on the range

When I built my first rifle I bought a set of tacticon iron sights for it. They have been awesome ever since. I kinda thought I bought some garbage product but since then I’ve made a lot more money and never felt the need to upgrade them. You now have this amazing podcast and are just about the coolest dudes in the industry. Love everything you’re doing. And Lucas is a soi boi prick.

Love that these guys are willing to call out all the "for profit" bullshit in the 2A community! The more I watch the more I like these two!

True story, I only stumbled on to you guys because of the recommendations a T.Rex video I watched, no idea about the beef or anything 😂 The algorithm gifted me you guys, and I’m here for all of what you guys are about. This was really an awesome conversation to listen to. It’s refreshing to witness normal dudes just doing the normal, and being rewarded in life for it. Thank you dudes for what you’re doing. Keep killin’ it fellas ❤

agreed about the ("mil-spec") topic. I liked your Walmart comparison. I honest wish more people would take that into consideration I know guys that are like if its good enough for the military than its good enough for me. I always get a chuckle out of people like that!

This podcast has been one of only about 2 podcasts I’ve actively enjoyed. Thanks y’all.

Been listening to you guys and delving into your brand for the last 2-3 weeks. Just purchased a full battle rig setup and excited to put it through the wringer! Keep it up

Glad you guys liked the gifts

You guys are awesome! I absolutely love these 2a talks and everything they dive into. It shows both of you guys true passion for our country and the values and principles it was founded on. I must say that you are spot on with the fact that we must change the mindset of young people about guns and that they are not just for killing but every bit if not more for saving lives as well as enjoyment. Because the other side is certainly going after them and trying to teach them the complete opposite so we must act, and your idea about range time and activities like that is great! I just made a purchase from your site for an extra tourniquet and holder solely because of how awesome you guys are and honestly it was a great deal with your holiday discount. Thank you for all you do in the 2a space and helping to inform and better equip every American.

I finally caught up on the 2Aprocast after a 12 hr each way holiday road trip binge listens and more companies need to take a lesson from you

I have the "BattleGear elite" chest rig, and I think it is great!!! It is everything I could ask for, durable, made of quality, and looks cool. Thanks guys, you are awesome!!! Tacticon Armament was one of the first companies I discovered on my firearms journey, and I STILL buy tacticon product!!!

I appreciate the longer videos, I've been listening to you guys on the treadmill and the longer episodes help me work out longer.

You guys have covered a good number of very important topics with this pro cast .. topics not typically covered in the 2A community. I’m not sure you realize how important and how impactful this is. That said, I’m a 72-year-old guy who has worked in the firearms community part time for the last 12 years or so as a range officer and gunsmith.. I shoot 5 to 6 days a week, train several times a year with some of the top tier organizations in the country and still shoot competitively. I say this because I am firmly entrenched in the 2A community and can say with some degree of certainty I have a feel for what this community lacks. What you have presented here tonight is exactly that. You are shining the light on topics that are rarely talked about, but are sorely needed to be discussed. Keep up the good work and by all means, don’t lose the flip-flops. As long as you’re not catching hot brass between the toes (and that’s not a bad thing necessarily) you’re reinforcing the idea that what you need is your firearm, Ammunition, some type of target and the will to put in the hard work that is training.

You guys are freaking awesome. The letter gave me goosebumps too. How awesome!

As a civilian that just got into the whole 2A community i cant thank you guys enough for what you do, I used to think i needed to buy all the gucci gear because thats what i saw at the range or online. Then i found you guys by happenstance tbh i saw a video of the curly haired sandle guy doing flips, acting a fool and shooting, causing me to dive into your catalgue of YT videos. There i found not only htis podcast, but your video on your holsters, the surfire vs Battle torch, ect and it made me realize I dont need to spend tons of monet to get good quality gear. You guys are really for the people and i respect tf out of that. Plus yall are hiliarious and dont pull your punches. Please keep doing what your are doing!

Can't tell you guys how excited I am for the course. I was already thinking of reaching out to Jake for advice. Your message resonates with me on so many levels. Hope to be able to give back to the 2a community and help raise a strong next generation. Keep up the good work guys. We will change the trajectory of this country!

So much love sent your way guys! I appreciate what you're doing so much. The discord is filled with great people that YOU brought together. You can't put a price on that. I wish nothing but success for you guys!! Your deserve it! TA 4 LIFE!!

Happy new year! Stay safe!

What’s the best channel to reach you guys on the discord. I’m a fabricator/machinist/welder/CAD programmer. I’ve got a small business and wanted to offer my services to you on the prototyping side of things. I really enjoy your content and your mission with all of this. Cheers.

I Actually Trademarked and bought the alphabet… legally… I’m suing you… NO typing and or speaking… no writing, reading, or sharing… and definitely no thinking… just Cease and Desist. Lol 😂 ..thank you for having common sense and understanding… I appreciate your transparency.. happy new years. Stay well

Dude! You guys were in my hometown "S.A" for "range day". Very cool. If I would have ran in to yall around town. I for sure asked for an autograph... I mean selfie.

Really appreciate the soap box you guys stand on! I have ordered over a half a dozen orders from you guys and will continue. I needed a rifle sling and looked at every manufacturer out there but ultimately picked Tacticon. Will never order from T-Rex because they poor shame and belittle the people who want to support the 2nd, but have little money to do so. Love your company and hope 2024 is a breakout year even greater than 23!

DAMN YOU GUYS! You are making me love again, I have been hurt before *cough*Blackrifle*cough*, please be don't hurt me again.....

Having one of those days were I feel like life is just drowning me and can’t get ahead. Literally getting poured on at work as well. Thank you for this podcast fighting to keep going but feel like I’m losing my battle.

Thank you gentlemen. Lets start the new year 2apro

Y’all should make a holster for Psa dagger. Happy new years🎉

Just recently found your channel and started following you. I love your videos and the info you put out. You make me want to get more training. I've put in twi orders and can't wait for them to get here. Keep up the good work. You guys are awesome.

Good work is worrying, big manufacturers. You are playing the game and winning. Keep grinding fellas and we will keep buying. 💯

My dad was the guy that would point at someone of color and say horrible things about them. That goes as far back as I can remember. I don’t know where the hate came from. I’ve tried my whole life to be the opposite, I hope I’ve succeeded

I loved this podcast! I loved how in-depth you went into that 2A/tactical world, and I also love your vision/mission statement!! I agree with it so much that I literally just requested a return for my holosun optic I got for Christmas, and I just bought one of your optics. Keep up the good work and great content!

Keep doing you, Tacticon, you guys are appreciated and your products are amazing!

Keep it up and honest, I really appreciate the transparency and talking about the the behind the scenes stuff

This has become my favorite pod! Love what you guys are doing!!

Nolan blushing at 1hr 43m- ish... LMAO. Thank you gentlemen for taking the time to make these shows. Great content.

Gave my older brother the V2 battle vest and all the molle pouches i could fit on it for Christmas. He loves it all, even the drop pouch that he thought would flop around everywhere. Im having trouble attaching my drop pouch to my Battle Vest Elite though. The hook and loop seems to be on the wrong side.

There are so many narratives that have been debunked this year alone that it's maddening. Thanks for what you do! You guys do good work and give great deals!

Love this podcast

Love your company, products and videos! Thank you for providing quality yet affordable gear when so many other companies insist that you need to spend hundreds, if not thousands, to be sure your gear is good enough. I'm gonna be building out a second rifle soon and can't wait to deck it out with your rifle light, predator v3, sling and more!

Another episode watched entirely! Great content guys keep em’ coming.

Around 7 years ago I started to get back into firearms and just have to say Tacticon outfitted many of my firearms with gear I even left a review on a red dot that dropped on concrete and it's still holding zero today and from my body armor to my duty belt I have trusted it to Tacticon and yes I do have some expensive optics but finding out from owning those 800 plus dollar optics etc they do not do anything better than the affordable gear and optics that I purchased from Tacticon and will be ordering today the quick release buckles for my body armor thank you Tacticon for all you do for the 2A community I sincerely appreciate it!!!!!!

Hey friends! Think on the next podcast you can increase the volume of your mics a bit? I listen to them in a loud environment and I think its a tad low compared to other content im consuming in the same environment. Keep it up guys, you rock.

Definitely appreciate the hard work on the contenet and gear you guys make and provide. The chord has been a great resource with a great group of folks. Keep up the great work and looking forward to what you guys come up with next.

Divided we fall, United we stand 🇺🇸

Ive never sat through a whole podcast. This is my 2nd one and they were both from tacticon

I’m one of the guys Jake is talking about about an hour 20 in. I’ve got tacticon gear and all the guys I run around with have blue force, jpc and other Gucci gear. These high end rifles and eotech sights and stuff. It is nice ass gear. But I can shoot right there with them with an aero lower, psa upper and gs2 trigger. But I put as much Time in as I can afford. Being involved with the training situation and doing things with youth is something I’d love to be involved with. My daughter is my biggest concern along with my wife. But our daughter being a victim is something we never want to happen. My wife was abused by one of her past boyfriends. She now carries daily and comes fo the range a decent amount with me and my buddies.

There used to be a place pre COVID in Phoenix, Arizona called TacVille, and it was an indoor urban shooting range, meant for games and fun tactics training. You pretty much reusing a paintball gun, but it was AR based paintball and primarily shooting foam bowls, I think they were called speed balls, and they had a Middle Eastern village setup, so you can play capture the flag and things. Things. But then an FBI building was built next door and they shut it off to civilian use.

Excellent episode, gentlemen, have a happy new year!

The story about the western front, just gives me chill. Just goes to show it’s Sons fighting their fathers, fathers fights. It shows for a blink of second that people can be happy together.

Love you guys wish I could meet you guys but I'm on the east coast. Stay doing what your doing ... happy New Years to you both...

I love you guys, love everything you all do, but I'm still waiting and hoping for some M81 Woodland gear from you guys. I need me some Tacticon M81 plate carriers and pouches.

Are you guys gonna come out with a red dot that takes AA or AAA batteries?

Love you guys. Great as always. - Greg

Wow, I just watched this whole podcast. Excellent ideas , and I’ve actually thought of similar ideas. Just joined the discord.

Always great content!!! I also do my best work in flip flops! 😆. Any plans on making a 3x “micro” “compact” prism? No magnifier needed 😉. Is the camo elite plate carrier coming back? Thank you and Happy New Year 🎉

Really good show this time guys. Keep up the great work!

I have noticed that the biggest differences between political stances, on the individual level in the US, is less about what main goals they want to succeed and more about how they want to ensure the success of those goals. Almost every individual, whether they lean left, right, or center, wants the same things. Happiness, freedom, and safety. Politicians, mostly, want money and power.

Cool thing is about Battlecock is that one of his stippling pieces made it on to John Wick 4! The Glock 19 that The Tracker uses has the GST-9 frame with his stippling work it's not hard to find pictures of it, and it looks fantastic!

Great show guys and happy new years to you And your families

Nolan look into Washington's farewell, it goes into the trouble of the 2 party system. It came to mind while y'all were talking about 1914 treaty. As always y'all are killing it!!!

Battle Battlecock does some amazing work! I'm definitely one of those cheap basterds that mill my own 80%'ers and get them to shoot like a 5k DD. If you guys ever make it to the Peoples Republic of Colorado please let us know, I personally would love to get a pic with you 2.

Been starting to get into your gear and was originally looking at getting a primary arms SLX 3x prism optic cause had bad luck with a budget optic monstrum banshee 1-8 lpvo had two in row from company and cant trust to work or hold zero on my 300 blackout i mostly shoot supersonics but i got one product fron you guys and was actually looking at your apex predator 3 3x prism optic looks nice like it would hold up alot better and it looks like it would use standard acog mounts

I've made it 10 minutes into this episode and I'm already like "MERICA! 🇺🇸" after y'all read that letter. Y'all are doing so much awesome work for the 2A community. I know it might sound weird to some, but, I don't care. I love this country so much to the point I kinda get emotional to an extent. I love seeing guys like y'all with a platform just openly and unapologetically defending our 2nd Amendment and the US Constitution as a whole. Stuff like this is why I wish the 2A community could unite more. Even with guys like Lucas on TRex Arms. There's not a doubt in my mind on how strong they feel about the 2nd Amendment. If we all could just unite with each other. Guys like y'all, them, Garand Thumb, Administrative Results, Brandon Herrera, etc, could just be like 🖕 to the anti constitutional twats that are out there, like Jake said, we could 100% change the narrative. Sorry. I don't know where I was going with that, but, there it is. 🇺🇸

Fire fckn podcast. Watched the whole thing

The only thing that i like about milspec is the interchangeability of the parts. Other than that milspec is specifically designed by the lowest bidder. Trijicon, Aimpoint, etc. just love putting out good quality parts.

Just wanted to let you know that I've been listening to each release of the podcast all the way through and I've really enjoyed the ADHD information as I am working, it allows me to use my time in a more enjoyable manner as I mindlessly assemble medical parts. If I were to add one small thing to improve the podcast, it would be to increase the gain on the mics, as its a little jarring listening to your podcast and swapping to other media and having it nearly blow out my ears lol. Thank you guys for having such entertaining podcasts!

On the topic of holsters, since you've talked about them in the past couple episodes. Would Tacticon consider making light bearing holsters with your lights? I have 3 battle torches on 3 of my pistols, but the holster market does not yet support the light. Love your stuff! Love the talks and the feels! Keep doing what your doing!

So i have been in the gun/preparedness scene for awhile. I have bought some of the more expensive gear and have been relatively happy with most of my purchases. With that said a very good friend of mine/brother recently started trying to get ready. I have steered him towards yalls gear and both me and him have been happy with yalls products. Thanks for making quality gear so my buddy could start getting geared up with quality products that are as good or better than my more expensive gear. Btw i want my commission j/k but i am looking towards some of yalls gear for myself scrubbing my wishlist from other manufacturers.

Just watched your latest Podcast and gotta say totally agree on everything you guys talk about. I’ve got tons of your gear and it’s been solid. You guys are killing it and have business for life. Just got my 4th sling from you guys today. Keep up the amazing work and purpose driven business! From one 2A advocate to another screw T-Rex and his ego. You guys bring it and are 100% legit in my book. Need to square up with Josh in the octagon and crush him in his tactical skinny jeans!

You guys are a godsend for a whole lot of us that want to have the gear that's essential to training and personal protection without going into massive debt for it. I've used and abused your gear for years now and truly appreciate it's value to me. I can't afford the Gucci shit that's out there, but I can use the equipment I CAN afford better than probably 75% of the brand whores out there. I'm in at least 6-8 courses every year to better myself and the only reason I can afford to do that is I do my research and spend my money where it matters most... Thanks for what you bring to us "common" folks!

Guys, great podcast. Very educational. Fuck aim point and glock. They have grown too big for their own good. As a community we deserve better companies. Semper fi.

you guys rock

Darryl Davis was the guy. Good work work explaining life saving tools.....

I thought maybe someone sent it to you to show you what quality looks like!!

Question: Given that the 40% discount code is on the website, how many orders do you have that aren't with that code?

Idea! Refers to about the 1 hr mark! Maybe you should think about all the “ referring words “ you SHOULD trademark, as to keeping them “free words” for the world so a different company doesn’t take them all to make it hard to even describe your product?…. I thought about this, if you told everyone they couldn’t use “ battle belt” , they’d probably go word hunting in short order! Also just got the bbbbb. For my father in law! Ordering one for myself as soon as I can talk my wife into it! Appreciate you guys like, tots mu goats!

Jake and Nolan- Radical idea: as a 2A community, what if we were able to organize a “lay militia” spread across the United States? There are so many people like me who want to train and participate with others but lack the funds to pay for classes etc. What if we started an organization where members could participate in rucks/training 2x a year with training and leadership donated by qualified trainers and nominal membership dues so as to be available to as many regular men as possible? Would Tacticon be interested in being involved?

Ready for the course. Money aside just for this 🙏

Tacticon doesn't have enough money to fight Glock legally? Sounds like a skill issue. Lol, now that I have your attention, what kind if Rifles and pistols do you guys run? Just curious. Love the videos and the gear.

Great work guys. If i might add our founders and framers of the Constitution were largely God-fearing men as per the Declaration of Independance the rights of all men are given by God, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

TREX Products all the way 🤙

I have an armor question: I'm fat (I know, i'm working on it), so do I really need trauma pads behind my uhmwpe level 3s? Like clearly getting shot would suck with or without a trauma pad but I'm already padded.

You guys are fun to watch, im gonna check out your website

Nolan & Micah collab when? Also, would love to see you lads on Unsubscribe in '24.
