Evan Nappen 00:13
I’m Evan Nappen.
Teddy Nappen 00:15
I’m Teddy Nappen
Evan Nappen 00:16
and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, you know, the gun rights oppressionists are not just guns. It’s, of
course, anything having to do with the Second Amendment, and they’ve never found an oppression
they don’t like. We have to be very vigilant about their efforts, not just in the United States, but also in
other parts of the world. And we can learn from what the oppressionists do in other countries, especially
so-called civilized countries. So, I want to mention and make my audience aware of what’s going on in
the U.K. That’s right, the insanity that never seems to cease in the U.K.
Evan Nappen 01:04
As you know, last week, we mentioned their commemorative coin for George Orwell, which is a big eye
that follows you everywhere you go. Well, in line with the U.K. philosophy of trampling on human rights
in that regard and privacy and your ability to defend yourself, you now see in the U.K., they have, for
the most part, succeeded in major disarmament of their civilian population in a large degree. I mean, it’s
extremely restricted. It’s so limited on what you can have. It’s really unbelievably an oppressionists
state when it comes to guns. And so, when you have that much gun law, when you have beaten that
horse to death, and of course, it hasn’t done anything about your crime rate. As a matter of fact, you
have all these different criminals, many of which have come into the U.K. due to their lax immigration
and other things, right? So, you see the same woke nonsense destroying their country. And so, guess
what the new thing there now is that they’re really focused on? And that is, and here’s what they’re
calling it. This is right from the BBC, folks. The Stabbing Crisis. That’s right. Did you know they’re
having a stabbing crisis? You’ve got to create a crisis, folks, if you need to ban something. So, now
they have a stabbing crisis.
Teddy Nappen 02:27
Just ignore the two ton steel death machines that keep driving into people. Oh, I’m sorry, cars.Page – 2 – of 12
Evan Nappen 02:52
Right! Yeah. Yeah, where they have the mass murderers just ripping through crowds. But stabbing is,
of course, the new buzzword because they can’t harp on guns when they’ve enacted all these
incredibly strict and oppressive gun laws. They have to find a new boogeyman, and so, now it’s knives.
And so, this actor, there just never seems to be a shortage of actors willing to jump on the oppression
bandwagon, This guy. His name is Idris Elba. Idris Elba. This is from the BBC. It’s a BBC article, and
the headline in the article is “Idris Elba on stabbing crisis: ‘not all kitchen knives need a point on them”.
(https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jgz1ld7lno)
Evan Nappen 03:48
That’s right, folks. You know how dangerous all those pointy kitchen knives are. You know, we have to
ban pointy kitchen knives. Well, here’s the BBC saying, you know, banning the sale of zombie knives,
whatever the hell that is. I mean, a zombie knife. Can you believe this? Is a positive step. Yeah, yeah.
Well, the zombies, I guess, are happy about that, right? But anyway, it says schools need to intervene
early and tackle the knife crime crisis. Here’s what the BBC calls it: U.K.’s knife crime crisis. Says Mr.
Elba, there’s a knife crime crisis, my friends, in the U.K. now. He claims that, in addition, ninja swords
should be banned. Remember, they’re not just swords, but ninja swords. Just like it’s not knives. It’s
zombie knives. Zombies and ninjas are the scourge of the U.K. It must be. Because this guy isn’t just
going out there saying we have to ban them and not only saying, oh, that kitchen knife shouldn’t even
have a point on them, but here’s the real kicker. He’s made a documentary. Oh, the propaganda mill is
now turning, and the documentary is called, “Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis”. Do you believe it now,
folks? Knife Crime Crisis in a documentary, and I’m sure it will be coming very soon to Netflix. You can
bet on it.
Teddy Nappen 05:30
It’s going to be called, it’s going to be called, Bowling for London.
Evan Nappen 05:34
Yeah. Bowling for London. So, the slippery slope of banning anything that is protected under our
Second Amendment is this progress that you see happening in the U.K. Right now, of course, the
efforts are so focused on taking our guns in the U.S. that there isn’t as much emphasis on knife
banning. Although we have seen it. We’ve seen it. Even in Hawaii in response to the recent case
legalizing butterfly knives and such. They’re trying to still pass laws to prohibit knives, but the
movement as a knife ban is in existence in the U.K. They’ve had surrender bins where they want you
just to give up your knives and turn them in. No compensation.
Teddy Nappen 06:32
Yeah, with the cookie monster on there, where I love the quote “only cowards carry”, and it shows
pictures of knives, a broken bottle, a screwdriver.
Evan Nappen 06:45
Yeah, those things, too. We have to ban all of them as well. I mean, this is why we are fighting for our
rights. And fighting for our rights is anything and everything that can help us not become a victim, butPage – 3 – of 12
rather defenders against crime. It’s our natural fundamental right to have that here. Luckily, with the
great success in the last election, we’re going to see the opposite of what occurred in the last four
dreadful years under the senile sock puppet. We will see more protection and an expansion of our
Constitutional rights. But we still have to remain vigilant. So, you need to watch what takes place in the
U.K.
Evan Nappen 07:43
Believe it or not, the original National Firearms Act that passed in the United States. Gun control itself in
the early days at the turn of the century. You know, in the 1900s. It originated in the U.K. The idea of
banning pistols and creating gun bans was a concept that came over from the U.K. And here you see it
on knives. They’re a thought leader on oppression. That’s what the U.K. is, especially when it comes to
our Second Amendment rights. So, I hope you all enjoy your pointy kitchen knives. You should use
your knives safely, as you would use any tool. Any tool, whatsoever, always needs to be used safely.
But knives are not intrinsically evil, and neither are guns. It’s not objects. It’s not objects. It’s people. So
simple a concept, isn’t it? It’s good people, bad people. People that do stupid things. People that do
smart things. The idea is to be the smart one doing the right thing.
Evan Nappen 09:07
We can’t have laws in our society based on the lowest common denominator. Instead, we need to go
after the lowest common denominator when they commit wrongdoings. Not go after the inanimate
object. So stupid. The object is a tool. It’s a tool that we, as law-abiding citizens, use, and we use these
tools of self-defense for that purpose, be it a knife or a gun. The oppressionists movement that is taking
place. We’ve got to watch those Second Amendment rights oppressionists at all times. The U.K. is just
a stellar example of what we never want to have happen. Keep in mind that, you know, we had a
revolution against them for a reason, and those reasons have not gone away.
Evan Nappen 10:09
Now, Teddy, you have your Press Check segment. I think you have something in store for us. What is it
you’d like to tell us about?
Teddy Nappen 10:19
Well, as we know, Press Checks are always free, and this is something that some people may not have
noticed, and is kind of going out to stores. Let’s say you’re going out for kids’ birthday to get a present,
or maybe this coming after Christmas, or any time for getting a little gift going to the toy store. And you
may notice, if you reach over to like one of the action figures you see, why do none of them have any
guns? Go over to, like you see Peacemaker with a sword, if you watch the shows.
Evan Nappen 10:58
Oh, well, I guess the U.K. hasn’t gotten to Peacemaker yet.
Teddy Nappen 11:01
Yeah, I know. At least, at least the action figures have knives. They at least have some way to fight
crime.Page – 4 – of 12
Evan Nappen 11:07
They’ll be banned in the U.K. soon.
Teddy Nappen 11:10
Yep, probably. And then you have, like, Blood Sports, who is another character from Suicide Squad,
Lobo without his gun, Death stroke, Joker without his pistol. Red Hood, who is the DC versions of the
Punisher. All missing their guns. You pick them up and like, what the heck? Why?
Evan Nappen 11:29
What did they all move to the U.K.? What happened?
Teddy Nappen 11:31
I guess so. So, I wanted to kind of follow this trail. This kind of understanding. So, one of the toy
manufacturers now is McFarlane Toys. McFarlane. They make a lot of the toys and action figures for
DC and Marvel. He’s the one that created Spawn, a famous comic. But Todd McFarlane was in an
interview, and he was asked, and someone had asked this, and it was very good to ask this. One thing
a lot of people have been talking about recently is there’s been a banning of plastic guns coming with
action figures. And I will give Todd McFarlane credit because, you know, the execs are probably going
to get mad at him for saying this. McFarlane said, we’ve done hundreds of licenses over the years, and
people who own the brands, the IPS, their intellectual properties, they are the boss. They basically
dictate to us. There’s not any other way around it.
Teddy Nappen 12:33
So, hey, if we want to make this character, they say, nope. We don’t you ever that character made. You
never get to make them. It’s just that simple. So, you know, just trying to think on that logic. The people
that own the DC and Marvel property. So, you have Disney, and you can see the great success of
Disney owning Marvel. And also, you see in the comics, where Punisher no longer has his guns at all.
He uses swords now. They got rid of that. And are you seeing all the Yeah, I know, right? I know, right?
That makes sense. I followed the trail and Warner/Discovery, who owns DC comics, who owns all the
DC intellectual property and Disney, all their biggest stockholders are State Street, Vanguard and Black
Rock.
Evan Nappen 13:29
Oh, I’m so shocked.
Teddy Nappen 13:29
So, I wanted to take this time to explain to people about, well, specifically BlackRock. I would say they
are the worst. You could probably make an argument for the other two. But let’s start with BlackRock.
BlackRock is the puppet master, the one that pulls the strings. They’re the one responsible for all the
woke propaganda being spilled over in the media, in companies and anything that they have. They’re
the ones demanding ESG scores, and my first question is, who are they? They’re an asset
management fund. They deal with ten trillion in assets. They are the number two shareholders in
Warner Bros/Discovery, just to give you perspective. Most Government pension funds are handled by
BlackRock. That puts you a little bit of how powerful they are.Page – 5 – of 12
Teddy Nappen 14:29
And one, the one big thing that happened back in 2023, in June of ’23, if you’ve ever heard of James
O’Keefe. He’s an undercover reporter, and he ran with Libs of TikTok. Now he has the O’Keefe
Company. He’s conservative and calls out all the BS. He actually has undercover agents. Well, one of
his honey pots score big with one of their BlackRock recruiters named Serge Valery. I’m probably
mispronouncing that. Who was quoted like, what do you feel about BlackRock? Oh, yeah, they run the
world. Yeah, we buy off senators. Ten k will buy you a senator. Saying this to a very nice, pretty lady. It
sounded like. If you ever that’s just, everybody does that, Blackrock included. They’re the ones that
pushed for the Ukraine War. They are one of the biggest shareholders in Lockheed Martin. So, kind of
just seeing the puppet master in play. Always look to where it is BlackRock. They are the ones that
pushed for all the DEI standards. Trump has fought to get rid of them, and he’s doing quite well with
that. Did you ever wonder why the airports are so crappy? You see all the standards with what’s going
on? Look to BlackRock. They are the ones responsible, and they’re the ones that deal with China. They
are the ones that are hurting our country for their own profit and control.
Evan Nappen 16:08
That’s really interesting. Teddy, have you seen the comics themselves as well as the action figures, is
that what has been removed?
Teddy Nappen 16:24
Correct. The Punisher comics took away his guns. That’s why you see various race swappings. You
see various characters being changed. It all comes down from that. You also have various. They
control most media company, most media companies. Warner Media, that’s a big one of theirs. With
Disney, you see all the woke ideology being pushed by them because they want the SG scores. They
can tank certain companies, and it’s all about control.
Evan Nappen 16:57
Do you think now with Trump, we’ll finally see this stuff coming to an end, hopefully?
Teddy Nappen 17:02
Yeah. I expect so. We’re already seeing that they’re dumping a lot of their DEI. A few of the companies
are already doing that. Because, quite frankly, BlackRock has been losing money. That’s why you have
Elizabeth Warren, you know, Pocahontas, calling for Blackrock should be deemed too big to fail, which
basically gives them a blank check. And I you know, the OA crisis.
Evan Nappen 17:29
Yeah. Never underestimate the hypocrisy of a progressive lefty.
Teddy Nappen 17:36
Oh, yeah, especially one bought out by big pharma.Page – 6 – of 12
Evan Nappen 17:40
Yeah. Isn’t that the truth? Okay, well, Teddy, that’s very interesting, and we’re going to keep an eye on
that. Maybe we’ll finally see our comic book heroes get their gun rights restored. That would be. That
itself should be a comic book in and of itself. Where they go after these forces and regain their
weapons.
Teddy Nappen 18:04
Well, there was actually. There was that.
Evan Nappen 18:07
Really, what? What was that?
Teddy Nappen 18:10
Mike Baron created an alternative to the Punisher. He was the original writer to the Punisher, and they
destroyed the vestiges of the Punisher. What he stood for and taking away his guns. So, he created the
Private American. Where he asked himself, where would the Punisher go in current America? Oh, the
southern border, obviously.
Evan Nappen 18:35
Oh, yeah. So, Baron was the original creator, one of the original creators. He got disgusted with where
what they did with the character. So, he went on his own with it. Is that right?
Evan Nappen 18:48
Well, did he do, like, a private issue or an independent issue?
Teddy Nappen 18:48
Yeah, he was the original big writer that kind of brought Punisher into the forefront and gave him his
first, like, single issue series. So, Gary Conway
Teddy Nappen 18:59
Yep. Independent comic. He did.
Evan Nappen 19:02
Is it actually the Punisher, because it’s his baby?
Teddy Nappen 19:06
It’s not the Punisher, because that’s owned by Marvel. So, he created the Private American. That’s his.
Evan Nappen 19:12
Oh, so it’s called the Private American, but it is really the true embodiment of the original Punisher.
Teddy Nappen 19:20
Of what he stood for, which is he fights crime with guns.Page – 7 – of 12
Evan Nappen 19:25
Did you read these stories at all of the Private American? Were they any good? Would you recommend
people who like the Punisher to go and check it out?
Teddy Nappen 19:33
The best part is when the Private American drops down and takes out a bunch of sex traffickers in the
first couple of pages. So, it kind of sets the tone for what the comic is.
Evan Nappen 19:44
Ah, that sounds like it does. Sounds good. Well, I don’t know about that being a segue to what I’m
going to talk about next, but I want to tell you about WeShoot. WeShoot is a range in Lakewood. It is an
indoor range. It is the range where I shoot. It’s where Teddy shoots, and it’s where we’ve gotten our
certifications. As a matter of fact, WeShoot right now is offering the New Jersey PTC certification. They
have many courses. You can train and get what you need so that you can get your carry license and
understand what your obligations are when you get that license. They’re doing a number of NJ carry
dates. These dates include Friday, February 7, and Wednesday, February 12, and Sunday, February
16 and Thursday, February 20. So, you can reserve your spot. They fill up fast. If you’re looking to get
that training, that’s where you need to go. And they are offering the assistance with your renewals.
Evan Nappen 20:59
They also offer NRA basic pistol blended. These are awesome courses. They also offer the Utah carry
that also gets you with Florida, Virginia, and Arizona as add ons. This way you can expand your ability
to carry nationwide, and you can have that now. I know we’re working hard on seeing national
reciprocity. That will be great. But until then, the idea is you can get the other non-resident permits and
expand your right to carry, and WeShoot can help you to get them. They have the training courses and
will help you to get those shall issue permits as well. They’re offering weekend classes. They have
great classes with Grant Gallagher from ScotShot, and Tony Zalo, who is, of course, an NRA legend
and Bullseye Master Lance Hubeny. You need to go. You need to attend. Check out those great
classes. They also offer the advanced USCCA carry class. They have USCCA and Sig Sauer
Academy. I mean, WeShoot is amazing. The courses they’re offering in a fantastic facility right there in
Lakewood, right off the Parkway. So convenient anywhere in Central Jersey. Check out
weshootusa.com. Great website, beautiful photography. You will love it.
Evan Nappen 22:34
We are still neck deep in the fight in the courts. We’re still waiting any day now for the sensitive places
decision, for the challenges to the assault weapon ban, the mag ban, all that great stuff. And who’s
there in the courts? The State Association, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Please
make sure you belong to the Association. It is our premier gun rights group in New Jersey.
ANJRPC.org. You need to be a member. They’re going to keep you on top of the legislative
shenanigans. You’re going to get email alerts. You’ll be able to take action very easily, right from your
computer to let these oppressionists know your feelings about these laws. There are a number of laws
that have been pre-filed now. They haven’t been moving yet. We don’t know if they’re going to see any
movement, but if these bills move in any way, you need to know right away from the Association to take
steps. I don’t want to publicize all these insane bills right now, because I don’t want to give them anyPage – 8 – of 12
publicity. I don’t want to see them move. But if the legislators decide to start taking action, I’m going to
alert you, of course. And so is your great state Association. They have a full-time paid lobbyist in
Trenton protecting our rights. It’s really, really critical that you belong to ANJRPC.org.
Evan Nappen 24:04

Evan Nappen 25:46
So, we have a great letter from Jim. And Jim says is, Hi Evan. Thank you for the helpful information that
you provide and the entertaining podcast. Here’s my brief question. A college campus has a public road
running through it. If I drive and stay on the road, am I legal to carry? Am I breaking the sensitive place
law? So, here’s the key. Is it actually a public road? If it is a public road, meaning owned by the
Government, then that road is not school property. It’s a public road, public right of way, thoroughfare,
etc. You’re okay on that road. But if it is actually part of the property of the school, that’s where it can
get a lot trickier and a problem. So, I would make sure you factually know whether the road is actually a
Government road on property owned by the state. Or is it property owned by the educational facility that
they happen to make their own road on, because then you’re technically on school property. And
remember, educational facilities are one of the sensitive places under the sensitive places law. They
allow you to put your gun unloaded in a box. You know, you preferably locking. Your gun is unloaded,
and you can be in the parking lot of a sensitive place.
Evan Nappen 27:38
However, and this is a big, however, folks. However, when it comes to educational facilities, there is a
second ban, a pre-existing ban from sensitive places. A ban that is found under N.J.S. 2C:39-5e, and
that bans possession on educational facility property. Having your gun cased and unloaded is not an
exemption under the old ban that is still on the books. So, this leads to a lot of confusion and a lot of
problems, because the law is contradictory. You have two bans, two prohibitions on gun possession, on
educational property, etc. One gives you a method of lawfully being able to store your gun, and the
other does not. So, beware. It is a trap being laid by the gun rights oppressionists. Don’t fall for it, folks.
Do not have your gun on actual educational property, whether loaded or unloaded, cased or not. It is a
problem, and I see those cases come up more than you would believe. It’s a favorite of enforcementPage – 9 – of 12
Evan Nappen 29:18
I mean, think about it. What sensitive places really are is a way for gun rights oppressionists to create
an insane matrix for lawful gun carriers so that they can be screwed under the gun law. Because when
you disarm a law-abiding citizen, you’re not making anyone safer. You’re just creating victims for
criminals. The public is not made any safer by that because the bad guys carry guns. They have guns.
They’re ignoring all the gun laws. But instead, they’re saying, no, that good guy with a gun. We don’t
want that good guy to have a gun in these areas. We want to make these areas victim disarmament
zones. We’re going to make these areas particularly wonderful for criminals to commit their
wrongdoing.
Teddy Nappen 30:06
94 percent of all mass shootings occur in gun free zones.
Evan Nappen 30:11
How many, Teddy? How many?
Teddy Nappen 30:13
94% of all mass shootings occur in gun free zones, and that is by design.
Evan Nappen 30:18
Yep, as a matter of fact, there have been a number of times where mass shooters went to the place
that specifically had the gun ban, like the movie theater that did not allow guns. That’s the one they hit
because they look for that. They don’t want to be stopped by a law-abiding citizen, an honest citizen
with a gun. Because, surprisingly, guns are effective at stopping bad guys with guns. Isn’t that
amazing? It’s called leveling the playing field. We have to be able to defend ourselves against these
folks, and the gun rights oppressionists just want to disarm us across the board and turn us into
criminals. New Jersey focuses on turning law-abiding citizens into criminals. They do it a lot.
Teddy Nappen 31:13
The reason being is they want to turn criminals into a voting block.
Evan Nappen 31:18
Yeah, a constituency. Well, they already have a pretty large constituency of criminals as a voting block.
As a matter of fact, they have a large constituency of the actual leaders. Look at Gold Bar Bob getting.
Teddy Nappen 31:32
Yeah.
Evan Nappen 31:32
There’s a Democrat that was horribly anti-gun. It always seems like the worst politicians, the worst
leaders, are always the ones that are the most anti-gun. They hide behind that, and they constantly
scream to take away individuals rights while they themselves are committing corruption crimes galore.Page – 10 – of 12
And now what’s really fun is, of course, ex-senator Gold Bar Bob can no longer have a gun because he
himself is a prohibited person under the gun laws.
Teddy Nappen 32:23
He actually begged President Trump to give him a pardon.
Evan Nappen 32:27
I guess he’s desperate. But pardoning for corruption is not, you know. His best bet would have been the
senile sock puppet for that kind of a pardon. But even then, he wasn’t liked by the inside players with
Biden. I mean, that’s why they let the dogs loose on him in the first place, right? So, he’s in a really bad
political spot. He’s basically despised by everybody. Oh, well, he’s a hard guy to feel sorry for, that’s for
sure.
Teddy Nappen 32:27
I know he’s from New Jersey.
Evan Nappen 32:39
I mean, he’s the guy who originally said about non-residents that get caught in New Jersey with a gun,
oh yeah, give them the five years. He had no sympathy. Yeah, he had no sympathy for honest mistakes
by individuals who have a carry permit from another State, and New Jersey won’t recognize their
permit. He was all for just imprisoning them. Well, Bob, guess what? Do your time now!
Teddy Nappen 33:39
Don’t drop the soap.
Evan Nappen 33:40
Yeah, you got 11 years. The biggest sentence ever given for political corruption in the United States.
You get that honor, and you deserve it. You deserve it for your oppression of our rights as well.
Evan Nappen 33:58
Hey, you know, the most popular segment, really, on the show is the GOFU, which is the Gun Owner
Fuck Up. My friends, we’ve got to be careful, so we don’t become GOFUs. New Jersey makes it easy to
end up a GOFU. These are real cases, real experiences, real things that I deal with. That Teddy and I
both deal with fighting. This week’s GOFU is best summarized as this. Be very much aware as to who
you have in your home. You know many of us are folks that want to open our home up to people that
maybe have a relationship with one of our sons or daughters. You want to help out a person, etc, or
family member that’s not doing well, and that’s something that I totally understand. It’s something we
want to do. We want to help our fellow family members and loved ones. Of course we do. But it can be
a GOFU if you’re not careful.
Evan Nappen 35:17
Because if you have the wrong person in your house, that is a danger. That person can end up costing
you your rights if they somehow access one of your guns, which shouldn’t happen. But if they do, you’re
going to be wrapped up in a big problem, and potentially you lose your rights. Potentially have criminalPage – 11 – of 12
charges on you. If any of these people involve the Government in that household because of any type
of false allegation, even against your son or daughter. Let’s say, it’s a boyfriend or girlfriend of your son
or daughter, and you allow them to stay in your house. If they end up making an allegation against your
son or daughter, you can end up in a situation where your son or daughter is actually removed from
your home. But they get to stay in your house. The other party that made the allegation. Maybe even
have you removed from your own house under the allegation of a DV, because you were nice enough
to let them live there.
Evan Nappen 36:33
Because in New Jersey, as soon as you let somebody live in your house, they become “a household
member”. And a household member is one of the categories in the definition of a “victim of domestic
violence”. So, once you give that person household member status, they can make an allegation of
domestic violence, as ever unfounded as it may be against you, and you can be kicked out of your own
home and have your gun seized and be disenfranchised of your Second Amendment rights. Make sure
the people that you let in your home to become household members are trustworthy and that they
understand that this is a favor being done for them by you. And keep in mind
Teddy Nappen 37:29
It kind of reminds me.
Evan Nappen 37:30
It doesn’t mean. Go ahead, Teddy.
Teddy Nappen 37:34
It reminds me of your case. Wasn’t it the professor where his gun got stolen by that one person?
Evan Nappen 37:40
Right. Exactly. That was a case where his gun was stolen, and he went to retrieve it in the pawn shop.
He got stopped trying to transport it back home, and they charged him with unlawful possession of a
handgun. It was an original Queen Anne, an original Queen Anne, black powder pistol from like, you
know, the late 1600s. It was crazy. They’re charging him as if he had a loaded .44 Magnum in his sock.
And not that that should be illegal or a problem, but it wasn’t even loaded.
Teddy Nappen 38:13
Yeah, they did ballistics on it, too.
Evan Nappen 38:17
Yeah, and they did ballistics on an antique Queen Anne. It was so stupid, but household members can
be a GOFU. You’ve got to be careful. I see this a lot. It comes up. Individuals having problems, and it
ends up proving the old “no good deed goes unpunished”. So, beware and be careful. Don’t let that
GOFU happen to you.Page – 12 – of 12
