E42 - Columbia War Machine with Brian Lanckiewicz

Having a passion for World War 2 era guns and their history, Brian Lanckiewicz wanted to own them rather than just read about them. His desire drove him to receive his Federal Firearms License. Therefore, he was able to buy his first machine gun. Furthermore, to share the experience of shooting guns with others, Brian created his YouTube channel, Columbia War Machine. His eagerness to show people what it's like to hold and shoot guns also led him to build the '76 Armory.

In this episode, Brian Lanckiewicz joins Jim and Dan. They talk about the origin of Brian's YouTube channel, The Columbia War Machine, what it's like to own a private gun range, and his plan to have a gun club in the future. 

Enjoy!
