I was kind of shocked.

I didn't think he was going to say that.

But yeah, let's do this.

And that idea was to set up a 501c3 and figure out how to get donations coming in for schools, particularly rural schools that don't have immediate access to SWAT teams or funding.

And let's get these moving.

So that happened.

And it wasn't too long before we had a school that needed five and didn't have the budget for it.

It was local to us.

and we built them up and we talked to victor about it to get that funded and there's kind of some pushback and you know i got to run this through the atp board they didn't know that i was going to do that and they're kind of wormy about the whole gun thing and i'm going okay um

Yeah, you do what you got to do.

But I got five and it's like, I think it was either $13,000 or $15,000.

And you know, the suppressors and backpack and like optics and all the stuff on it that they need to just train and get ready and go deploy them.

And so he, he eventually did, you know, we, we paid for them to build them up front and, uh, you know, we're not making a lot of guns every year anyway.

So funding that out of pocket is kind of a hit, but we did it.

And, um, he, he did send a check to us and, uh, we got the guns to the high school or the ISD.

And they loved them.

We got some photo ops.

And so that was, we delivered those and in the summer of 24 and, um,

created this fairly long list of schools and they would fill out a template, you know, we want the guns, we will use them and we don't have a budget for them.

And, or we're located in a, in a area where there's not a quick access to first responders.
