Joe Rogan Experience #2094 - Colion Noir

Recorded after Rogan and Colion Noir spent a Texas day shooting at the Staccato range and touring the factory, the conversation opens on cars, guns and American manufacturing before broadening out. They wander through immigration and the border, offshored jobs, dating dynamics and the social-media 'roster,' burnout and the meaning of work. The back half becomes a focused argument for responsible gun ownership: concealed-carry tactics, holster retention, accidental versus negligent discharges, the Sig P320 controversy, and why cops who can't fight or handle firearms are dangerous. Colion closes with a critique of gun-control politics, arguing media distorts mass-shooting statistics and that lawmakers ignore the root causes of inner-city violence.
