Aklys Defense founder Joe Meaux has been manufacturing suppressors in Louisiana since 2009 — before most people knew what a Form 2 was.
He sits down with Ryan Gresham to break down how Louisiana went from a paperwork nightmare to one of the more suppressor-friendly states in the country, what the Jensen v. ATF ruling actually means for dealers and buyers, why the 300 Blackout in a 5.56 gun is the scariest thing he keeps on his wall, and how a 550-grain bullet turned one of his cans into an unrolled toilet paper tube.
This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Ruger, Shooting Sports Life, Leupold, Colt, Remington Ammunition, and Savage Arms.
