This week we are announcing the launch of a brand-new T.REX ARMS YouTube channel—T.REX Labs! In the same way that the T.REX Armory channel has allowed us to branch out and cover more individual products, the T.REX Labs channel will be a place for us to upload even more educational videos discussing radios, drones, maps, and some behind-the scenes videos documenting T.REX itself.

Click below to watch the latest video in which Isaac describes some of the high-end digital radios that were being a demonstrated on the SHOT Show expo floor.

The T.REX Team navigated 14 miles of aisles between 2,600 booths alongside 55,000 other SHOT Show attendees this past week, and we're talking about what we saw, who we talked to, and a bit about what we expect for the rest of the year. It's impossible to ignore how your direct input and feedback into this industry is shaping the future of gun innovation. The Citizen's Defense Industry is developing right in front of us.

In this podcast episode, Isaac takes a look at the case of Paul Vaughn, whose recent FBI raid and subsequent legal struggle under conspiracy charges raise critical questions about the preservation of our First Amendment rights, and the overreach of law enforcement. Kyle, a pivotal member of the TN and T.REX community (and Paul Vaughn's son-in-law), joins Isaac to offer a deeply personal perspective on the chilling effects that this kind of judicial and prosecutorial activism can have.

As we prep for yet another trip to yet another SHOT Show, we're discussing the slow but seismic shifts that we've seen across the firearm world; everything from ATF pressure, legal wins for firearm freedoms, the emerging Citizen Defense Industry, and just last week, a major leadership shakeup for the NRA.

This episode unpacks the necessity for a wide array of radios, tailored to your distinct communication demands. It's a new year, and time for a new focus on radio communications, from cheap FRS radios and simple plans for your local neighborhoods, to encrypted business band HTs for your more trusted circle, and the need for longer-range amateur HF networks that cover multiple states.
