The Grace Curley Show: 2A Tuesday with Toby Leary

2A Tuesdays With Toby Leary – 9.14.21 – Hour 3


Grace and Toby from Cape Gun Works take your calls and discuss ammo, LTC rules in Mass, and private security for congress people.

The actual feature starts at 2m17s,
in case the above link doesn't point you at the right timecode.

Topics include:
  • Grace heard through the grapevine that there's kind of a gun "blog" that listens to this segment every week, and they had some beef with some of Toby's answers.
  • CDC planning to resume gun violence research.
  • No, the show is not called "Two-Way Tuesday".
  • Are 80% lowers legal to manufacture in Mass; and if so do you have to register it?
  • What should I use on my Watertown FID application's "Reason(s) for requesting the issuance of a card or license"?
  • I SBRed an AR-15 to a trust, and then lost all my copies of the trust. Can I get a copy from ATF?
  • Is it legal to own a bayonet in Massachusetts?
  • What is the best budget micro-compact pistol for lefties?
  • Do the Squad's private bodyguards carry guns?
  • Is there any national gun license I can get?
  • Do I need to re-register the guns I inherited from my father?
  • How soon should I file to renew my LTC, and do I have to take a new HFS class to renew?
  • What is the Mass. web site to register an 80% lower?
  • What's the ammo situation at Cape Gun Works?
 
I LOLed in the car when I heard that [laugh]
(I'm sure Grace is much better at social media than I am), but frankly,
I flashed on a Boston Legal line by Denny Crane:

Denise Bauer: You wanna try this case in the press?​

Denny Crane: Exactly. I wanna grab the public's attention. The story. Character. Narrative. We have to create our own reality. You! Young punk. You must know computers. Set up a website; all those blobs. Justice for Russell Blayney! ...​

"Blobs", LOL.
It's one of The Bride's favorites.

Tobey, listened to the show yesterday. I can’t believe you got sucked into the .45 vs. 9mm discussion. ;)
I texted a question, to Grace, to ask you about “fotay” cal., from one of the “blog guys.” I sent it too late unfortunately. [rofl]
 
I listen to her show in the car. I find her segment more entertaining than Howie himself. She hits some interesting points that Howie and Jared aren't as quick to point out.

On on unrelated note, I find Grace Curley extremely attractive. She has that minimal-makeup natural look going for her big time. Her sandwich-making ability? Who knows!
Not to mention wayyyyyy less ads than Howie. But that isn’t saying much. I pretty much say that out of the 4 hours Howie is on, he is really only “on” for an hour. The rest is ads.

That's when you hit the "+30 sec" on the Podcast app a few times to skip through it. I don't listen to the show live; only in the car during commute.
 
Grace's show was absolute FIRE today. Her impression of Jen Psaki was on point!
Thespians gonna thespian.

She's hones in on the Biden intricacies way better than the other two.
I caught the start of the show yesterday,
and she was beating someone like a red-headed stepchild atop a rented mule.

Her craft just keeps improving...
 
My one and only criticism. She pops her B’s. When she says the word “but”, it drives me crazy!
Damn “plosives” [wink]

Grace talks to Toby Leary from Cape Gun Works in Hyannis. Topics include the effects on gun ownership thanks to the summer of love riots and 9s vs. 45s.

The actual feature starts at 0m33s,
in case the above link doesn't point you at the right timecode.

Topics include:
  • WSJ: Close to half of all new U.S. gun buyers since the beginning of 2019 have been women, ...
  • Can I mount a new pistol grip on my pre-ban Ruger Mini-30 to replace the one I lost?
  • Is the polymer frame on the Sig-Sauer 365 durable?
  • When I move to Florida, is it sufficient to have my .38 pistol, shotgun, and rifle locked in one case and the ammo in another?

  • What has the Biden* administration been up to with gun control laws?
  • How come the store that sold me a Hi-Point 9mm Long Rifle on my new FID said it was illegal to sell me ammo for it?
  • If I have a lock-box, can I store my gun in it while loaded?
  • If you have a smaller safe, does it have to be nailed to the floor?
  • What's got the most punch - a 9mm or the .45?
    • Grace warns Toby that he's gonna end up on "that blog" again.
  • My red town's police department is taking up to a year to take prints and a photo. What is the legal limit for how long they are allowed to take? I'm applying for an FID.
  • Given all the talk about back doors to controlling guns, what's to keep Them from controlling ammunition?
  • Do you need an LTC or just an FID for a pepper ball airgun?
  • How come the gun store won't sell me a .30-06 Browning Stalker with a 10 round detachable magazine on my FID, even though my police chief says it's legal?

@Cape Gun Works. Hey Toby, Boris is a member here. How do you not know about the Shovel AK? It's gone viral all over the interwebz.
Sorry, I texted in that curveball. [rofl]

Thanks for posting these summaries, AHM. Reading through a few of them, my general impression is that some very good questions are being covered on this segment.
 
Thanks for posting these summaries, AHM.
De nada.

I regard it as a form of "networking" -
encouraging NESers to check out the show,
and perhaps causing NES to be mentioned on-air.

Reading through a few of them, my general impression is that some very good questions are being covered on this segment.
I don't claim to know the answers to any class of questions,
but I'm getting surprised at the dark corners
visited by some of the questions themselves.

On the other hand,
it's a real rib-tickler when someone asks a Frequently Asked Question...

    • COVID-19 [19%], or
    • Domestic extremism? [78%]
