14:26pick up and he says something there's
14:30something about mine was launched way
14:32the mines on its way to Florida I have
14:36no idea what subliminal I said
14:48yes

15:06we took your [ __ ]
15:22okay I let it slide the time beam all
15:31about it oh no bear with me
15:37this is why I type
15:39[Music]
15:41do you list if it is my hey lady Oh
15:43mine's not much better but so you write
15:46slide for the time being
15:48honey just give me just a minute
15:57what just okay I'm sorry
16:02more about me you know now this is big
16:10you're good
16:11they're dead um so you let's fight for
16:13the time being being got mad about it
16:16keep going out there why I kept going to
16:20say my place I don't really know but I'd
16:24go out there some bikes and listen to
16:29these two talk [ __ ]
16:38so again kid going out there and
16:41deciding on the bikes and the bikes
16:42running them out and listen to these two
16:45the owner in the manager basic talk
16:51trash
17:06okay
17:10autumn bird 92fs I'm Milwaukee County FS
17:20rather 9282 FS FS 9 millimeter at the
17:29time those only had 10 round mags Kalia
17:31select limitation in the aftermarket
17:33Promax
17:34or god-awful so how many matches you had
17:3610 but 10 round magazine yes sir three
17:39up three 1000 margins
17:41I actually refers overall true although
17:47I've got quantity of those Kydex they
17:52work very well
17:54probable concealment and how they were
17:59going to been one happen swap barrels I
18:06think it's as important swap barrels
18:07that does lead to this or later swamp
18:11air Ellison swapped arrow just okay I am
18:21not certain which Barrow was on the gun
18:24that day the reason is because one
18:30threat of one is not and I was having
18:33problems with the suppressor
18:37oh now say that say that part again and
18:44I'm certain which one was on the barrel
18:46that day because because I was having
18:48problems with the suppressor a
18:50suppressor would shield us in the
18:53automatic requires a Neilsen device also
18:56to rat on wrinkle resistant
19:07if you have a little barrel okay
19:12otherwise use the spacer and lock this
19:14you're having problems pressured you
19:16have to say that okay understanding it
19:17and you're just going okay so you're
19:20having problems with the suppressor yes
19:22but if you don't have a rad device on it
19:24it causes the bell block back and you
19:26have to understand suppressor most you
19:31not something on silencers okay so say
19:35it start from there and then the problem
19:39suppressor would it would lock up when
19:42you shoot one round if you don't have a
19:44rad device I couldn't make one of those
19:50okay and then okay
19:54if you didn't have a rap break hole
19:58device also known as Nielsen
20:06device okay I'll definitely understand
20:11when it fires the barrel because of a
20:14barrel of lettuce also here locks the
20:15same way
20:16certain kinds actually will the barrel
20:18will move a little bit and then I fakes
20:20when they when they move like that if
20:22you don't have the relate of the glue
20:25and fire doesn't have a little sis to
20:27help you move the barrel it costs them
20:30barely get locked back and it can damage
20:32the weapon literally locks it up to a
20:34single round Todd now this will be part
20:36of this but on this statement where did
20:39you buy that Beretta I'm sorry you don't
20:42know who from a rumor guy the guy by
20:45founding in what was I want us hmm
20:52and I had read too easily I bought it on
20:55the side of the road they won it was
21:02worth at all

21:37mean he knew it was something before but
21:39I'm Aldo machinist out there the teeth

34:08the chamber that done out the
34:17for Brad eyes since then we the reason
34:20why the see 5:16 is in the building kind
34:24of rounded over to safety on because I
34:26took Kayla for a walk without her any
34:28cuts or lay chains Jennifer Warr rather

34:34out the beretta and what happened o
34:37shelf mechanic twice Deadwood angle
34:41I shot
34:51so yeah I just out running idea what I
34:54know he was he was beneath me
34:56he was down crashed down on the list
34:58under bike bike was here I'm on this
35:01side so I delete over the bike in these
35:05two to seanathon11 it made them to maybe
35:10bent worried but it definitely was to
35:12downward angle he shot them and twice at
35:14a downward angle maybe twice twice maybe
35:19they're tied over with kale
35:28for once idea I want to waste Ramsey or
35:30Sonny definitely desired effect
35:32do you did he were to default there then
35:37immediately there okay I believe those
35:43were with the Remington 147-grain some
35:48songs that would be the brass cases I
35:51believe those were with the set again
35:59bringing ten 147-grain subsonics their
36:07neighbor suppressors which would be the
36:10brass case a crappy round by the way
36:25okay
36:29he hit the ground when I realized he was
36:31not moving he's not going to proceed I
36:38moved to the right ólafur when I
36:42realized he was not going to proceed
36:54that word that's what [ __ ] I got to be
36:57too long too long shots okay I got each
37:00long
37:06you got him into long shots yes sir if
37:12you get up romantic
37:17okay then what happened once I realized
37:21that he's older threat I mean we
37:24proceeded towards the front of the
37:26building
37:27come on he was no longer a threat I
37:37[Music]
37:39proceeded to the front
37:49building forget it boy you didn't get my
37:53finger books okay put on the more on the
37:56reason why you didn't get any finger
38:10prints is on the door I use my knuckles
38:16instead of my hand man to open the door
38:32in the reason you have no puns Leone
38:34showcases is I wear two pairs of gloves
38:38when loading every firearm even in
38:40practice and even my practice I am of
38:43this container ones that's why I don't
38:47to worry about making up shell cases
38:57if you wear one pair you can still have
39:00a lame print because the acids in your
39:02thing and regarder that when they touch
39:03you still can that any chemicals on the
39:06outside that when you touch first before
39:07you touch it it can't put print on it
39:09even though you didn't analogues if you
39:12wear top of the glove it causes friction
39:14between the two Odom indicates that so
39:18when you're talking that one time I
39:19liked explodes yes sir like if you wear
39:21two pairs not one one pair won't work so
39:25you use two pair of gloves
39:27latex gloves by mail prefer top the
39:34surgical 5mm yeah seven cups too tight

55:26wasn't a gun I assumed they had a gun
55:29and this is the foul that's a bike shop
55:33okay I'm going to assume on the safety
55:36side of it they've only carrying the
55:39overfor had something close by do you

56:00spray that bad so you shot the captain
56:03to the mechanic you said with those
56:06diversity lens would have been the brass
56:10okay the lady would been all brass the
56:18third got the the guy the manager part
56:21where the third before they got the
56:22doorway may have been he would have
56:26started out with brass as a reload
