@Shep VanDelay Glocks tend to shoot low and left if you’re not really super experienced in shooting Glocks. It’s pretty easy to position your finger in the wrong way due to the trigger safety. If you compensate for that, usually you’ll notice a difference. Unless you have a used one, then it might just be the barrel harmonics. Although I’m not an expert, I do shoot Glocks a lot and have for almost two decades.

Yes the Constitution just puts an inalienable right off limits to the federal, state, county, and shity governments. But feds and states have long ignored that fact on purpose. Therefore a law was needed to repeal the laws requiring one to jump through hoops and pay lots of money for the privilege of a carry permit. TN passed Constitutional Carry last year and I still renewed my permit, to lifetime. The fact they recognize it’s not necessary anymore, and optional means I’ll go on and keep it. What we need is national reciprocity or national constitutional carry that states can’t opt out of. No ammunition or magazine laws to stand. Shit holes including but not limited to DC, NY, Maryland and on and on outlaw the possession (even in storage in your hotel room) of guns by all non residents stuck going through there.

His story is just one of many too. There are between an estimated 200,000-3 MILLION defensive uses of firearms in this country (it's impossible to get an accurate accounting of this since defensive uses are rarely reported to police unless shots are fired; often brandishing the gun at a would-be attacker is enough to diffuse the situation) which is (on the conservative end) a whole ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more than the number of people who die from gun violence.

My daughter has pulled her S&W .380 twice to prevent bodily harm to herself. She has known how to use them safely since she was 5 years old. She is known around here to be armed at all times, so nobody messed with her. She went back to our home state and thats where people tried things, not knowing she had a CPL and her own long distance hole punch. Thankfully she didn't have to give anyone additional ventilation, she only had to show it to them and they backed off and left. There is a reason why she did the paperwork and I paid for her to have a quality piece and the CC class. I wanted her to be safe.

[@ragnarokbladeworks]

@@SweatyFatGuy I've had to draw my pistol once before. MASSIVE dude, threatened to kill me for telling him to chill out, started rummaging in his pocket for a weapon. I drew, he laughed and kept looking. Only when I spoke over my shoulder for these two kids to get the cops that JUST walked around the corner did he turn to run across the street. Apparently, he was spoken to by those cops, decided this poor limo driver was the reason, shoved him up against the limo as I came around the corner, cocked his fist back, I said "HEY, KNOCK IT OFF" and that triggered him to threaten me at that point and start closing the distance while looking for what I can only assume was a weapon. It's downright unfortunate that we, the people, need to carry for reasons like that. But... I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It's scary to think what what might happen if I, or your daughter for example, didn't have the means to protect ourselves, and these selfish pricks trying to ban everything are truly messed up in the head.

I agree with you but I'd like to clarify there's other reasons why Japan never invaded us in ww2, including their technology and equipment, along with a thinly spread military, pearl harbor in Hawaii, And America's already impressive industrial capabilities. By the time they bombed pearl harbor and got us fully involved in ww2 the war situation from the Japanese perspective simply wouldn't allow it. Their best bet would be to land in Alaska which probably wouldn't have worked well for them either. Forget about trying to take the mainland. And as I said Hawaii had a naval base that needed to be dealt with first, and the Japanese barely managed to accomplish their goals there. The pacific fleet wasn't destroyed in the attack so they basically blew their only shot to fight an offensive war with the U.S But all that on top of the fact that there would be an armed population to contend with ensured that any invasion would be a waste of men, resources, and time.

The gun grabbers are upset that so few died. They wanted a high body count to justify more gun control.

Thanks for covering this! I'm sharing this video with many people. If this nation were rich with CCW holders mass shootings wouldn't occur. Stay educated, stay trained, and carry on.

The only “law enforcement” that opposed the Indiana Constitutional carry law was the State Police that used the carry permit as a revenue stream... all others with the exception of IMPD backed it...

[@ElTejon47901]

Lafayette Police Department Chief Patrick Flannelly, the guy that hired a Nazi as a cop, spoke out against it.

I live in Indiana and have had my lifetime permit now for almost 20 years. I was thankful that we went to constitutional carry. Thank you Eli you’re a hero.

I applaud his grandfather for teaching him, these impressive skills!!! It was discovered that he DID in fact have a conceal carry permit prior to the July 1st, implementation of Constitutional Carry!!!

Yeah, makes me wonder where GPD was looking. I am guessing they spelled Eli's name wrong as he does have an LTCH.

@@phebiewhite9557 don't believe his grandfather is still alive from rhe sounds of things but who knows for sure. Dickens lives about 35 miles south of me. To get the same type of training isn't difficult, but finding someone and the amount of time it would take is the issue. Each person is different and the amount of time to train them is different as well. And to get to a point you could do what he did at that distance could take a year or more training.

[@GM8101PHX]

Colion you are totally head on, I love your message, I live in Arizona and we do not have to have any permit to carry open or concealed as long as we are over the age of 21 for concealed!! The guy that stopped the shooter is indeed a Hero, in fact being a veteran I could not put 8 rounds into someone at 120 feet with a handgun, I would need a long gun to do that and I am a military marksman. This young Man trained and practiced as he should, his family also deserves credit along with his girlfriend whom during the shooting acted in a triage fashion to save a woman's life!!! Two totally great examples of Heroes if i ever saw one. And as a veteran I would be perfectly okay with these two being given the highest military honor, the Medal of Honor though they never served!!! Criminals beware, as for my house, not only do we serve the Lord, but we carry and know how to use our firearms responsibly!!! Great job in calling out the opposition!!!!!
