You bought your first gun… now what? Iron sights or red dot, cheap range ammo or duty rounds, YouTube videos or paid training? Before you bolt a $500 optic onto a pistol you barely shoot, watch this episode. On this episode of We Da People Podcast, Shelton, Fred, Colin (Gunplay TV), and Nick break down what new gun owners should actually do first after buying a handgun or rifle. The crew keeps it real about skills, safety, and budget so you do not end up with a $4,000 gun and a $4 body. In this episode we cover:

• Iron sights vs red dot
• Why almost everyone on the panel says start with iron sights
• When it makes sense to “graduate” to a red dot
• Point shooting at 5–7 yards vs taking a 25–35 yard precision shot

Training for new gun owners

• How to find real firearms training in your area
• One-on-one vs group classes for first-time shooters
• Why YouTube and your “tactical” homeboy do not replace real instruction

Ammo and budget tips Training ammo vs self-defense ammo (FMJ vs hollow points)

• How much ammo to keep on hand and how to buy in bulk
• Why gun ownership without practice is a liability, not protection

Mindset, safety, and legal reality

• Always treating every gun like it is loaded
• The danger of flexing at the range instead of actually training

Brief talk about prosecutors, flashy ammo, and why choices matter

Are pistol caliber carbines actually practical… or just expensive range toys with a flex? The crew breaks down PCCs from every angle – cost, performance, competition, and real-world use.

In this episode of We Da People Podcast, Shelton, Fred, Colin (Gunplay TV), and Nick get into a real conversation about pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) – from MP5s and Flux Raiders to Glock chassis builds and budget options. No fanboy talk, just honest opinions from four shooters who actually run these guns.

• In this episode we cover:
• What a pistol caliber carbine really is
• Why some shooters love PCCs for:
• Range days and cheap 9mm training -- Truck guns, backpack guns, and PDW roles -- Soft-recoiling setups for new shooters and ladies Why others say PCCs are “stupid” for fighting and stick to rifle calibers PCC in competition: -- Is it a “cheat code” vs 5.56 rifles? -- How flat and fast these guns really shoot Popular PCC platforms mentioned: -- MP5 / HK SP5 and clones -- Flux Raider P320, Glock in Recover Tactical chassis -- MPX, B&T, Daniel Defense, AR9s, High Point carbines & more Where PCCs actually fall in your buy order: -- Pistol, rifle, shotgun, .22… then maybe PCC
