Showing up to the range with a gun and an ego is how people get hurt – and how the 2A community gets painted as reckless. In this episode of the We Da People Podcast, we break down the real gun range etiquette and the image problem inside gun culture.

From indoor ranges to social media, we talk about what responsible gun ownership actually looks like – and why your behavior on camera matters just as much as your skills behind the gun.

In this episode we cover: - Why treating the range like a party is dangerous, not “cool” - Range etiquette 101: holsters, bags, muzzle discipline, and the 4 rules - Gun snobs, suppressor flexing, and the “Draco with no brace” crowd - How ego, pride, and arrogance ruin training and get people uninvited - The global perception of Black gun owners and changing the narrative - “Gun bunnies,” clout chasing, illegal switches, and incriminating yourself online

How to represent 2A with professionalism and keep your culture and authenticity

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.

• Why gun ownership without practice is a liability, not protection

Mindset, safety, and legal reality
