But I remember coming back and I sat with one of the officers and he goes, you know, You've had Don Shipley on. I know he goes, you know, I watched Don's videos, but now it's starting to bother me. A lot of these videos out there because they're teaching all these tactics and they don't know, they have no control of who's getting them.

And the Dallas police, Dallas chief of police came in and they had that tactical shooting where some officers died. And he was one of the speakers at that event as well. And it kind of hit home to me. I was like, man, He's exactly right. We're putting all these videos, and God bless him. I have nothing wrong to say about Don. I don't know Don. We've never met.

I think, you know, from what I've seen, he looks like he's a stand-up guy. And I'm just throwing that as an example because that's what the law enforcement officer said. The police, he was from Philadelphia. He's like, we just, you know, we're really getting, not upset, but he says, we're really worried that the bad guys are starting to watch these videos out there.
