Transcript:

Everybody, Rob Orgel with Silence for Syndicate. I'm here with Tom. We're at CANCON. And truth be told, I've seen CANCON once or twice. I had no idea it was going to be this big. So I'm super excited for Tom to tell me a little bit about what CANCON is. First of all, we are much bigger than we were last year, which I'm really excited about. Obviously, we're only-- this is our fourth CANCON, but only our second one here in Arizona. And the crowd has been great this year. We really appreciate everybody's support. I think the word is getting out a little more about what we're trying to do here. And long story short, you and I were just talking about it. I get a lot of questions from folks I know. Oh, well, hey, I want to buy my first gun, or I want to buy my next gun. What gun should I buy? And you said it too, right? What do you tell people? Find a range in your area that has a rental counter and have them shoot everything.And once they shoot everything, they will know what they want to buy. Suppressors, you don't have that opportunity. I'm sure that there's probably a handful of ranges out there that have suppressors that you can use. But it certainly is not nearly as common. Well, you're indoors. You're on one platform. You can't hear the difference. And when we make these videos and everybody says, well, how does it sound? You can't capture sound on a camera. No. And that's a good point. One of my rental ranges near me, it's a two-lane range inside a shipping container. That doesn't work. No, it doesn't. Certainly not for suppressors. So this is our way to allow the general public to have a try before you buy, plug and play, very easy to access opportunity to get their hands on just about every suppressor that you've seen in our magazines or on the websites or on other people's media channels. Almost all of the major manufacturers are here outdoors. There's varied environments. There's varied guns. We have everything from 22 caliber pistols to suppressed shotguns and belt feds. And they're all covered by the flat admission fee. Well, the downside is by the time we post this video, unfortunately, this one will be closed because today's the last day. But if people see this and they go, you know, I need to hit that next one. When's the next one? So the next one is in Savannah, Georgia. It's 17 South Rod and Gun Club. And that's going to be Veterans Day weekend in November. Nice. And you'll be coming back to Phoenix again. So right now, we have no plans to go anywhere else. We'll be back here next year. I love Phoenix. I'm standing right here. And we'll see you next time you come around. And thank you for letting us in. Great. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.
