TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #83: Smuggling Arms into Finland with Polaris Logistics

    TFB Behind the Gun #83: Smuggling Arms into Finland with Polaris Logistics

    In our continuing coverage of this year’s Finnish Brutality event, I’ve brought on another member of my squad, Les Winner, to talk about his and his buddy Matt’s experiences at the match and to talk about his company, Polaris Logistics. Polaris Logistics specializes in the import and export of personally owned arms so that you and your buddies can travel abroad and attend competitions or go hunt with your own guns that you’ve trained with and used at home. Les works with local authorities and gains the necessary permits and generally deals with all of the hassles normally involved with legally exporting firearms, and turns it into a simple affair where you ship your guns to him here in the States, and then he hands them to you when you get to the country where you’re competing. So in addition to learning about the ins and outs of the import and export of arms, we’ll be talking about some of our most and least favorite stages from Finnish Brutality 2023!

    In this episode of TFB’s Behind The Gun Podcast, I’ve brought in a new friend of mine who helps budding competitors like myself get arms from my home here in the United States to competitions around the globe. Les Winner is the owner of Polaris Logistics which is an international import/export service provider with a specific focus on firearms. It’s perfectly legal in most cases to have your own firearms shipped around the globe for a wide variety of purposes, however, dealing with all the permits, paperwork, and local authorities and governments can often prove to be too much of a hassle for most people and that’s where Les and Polaris Logistics come into play. Les simply needs you to tell him where the arms need to go, and after that, you ship your guns to him and he takes care of the rest of it. Simple! In addition to being a pseudo-international arms smuggler (legally), Les also has the reputation as being one of the grand daddies of the Brutality Matches having been to nearly every single match since its inception back in 2018. This year Les and I happened to be in the same squad and got to run the competition side by side. Today, Les and his good buddy Matt discuss our ups and downs at Finnish Brutality 2023, and of course a more detailed explanation of how Les and Polaris Logistics can help you get your guns abroad if you happen to find yourself at one growing European Brutality competitions. Please welcome Les, and Matt to the program!
