[@terrygrossmann2295]

In college I took a statistics course. The first day the professor gave all kinds of statistics that just about convinced all of us why guns are bad and people shouldn't have them. The second day the professor gave all kinds of statistics showing how guns are good and all law abiding citizens should own one. On the third day the professor said when it comes to statistics everybody has them and statistics can be made to show whatever it is that you want to prove or disapprove. He also said like you did, consider the source, and the way the study was done, what it includes or doesn't include.

[@ManDuderGuy]

This is a very good point to make when people start bringing up statistics, which people try to do ALL THE TIME. In order to have that kind of conversation properly you'd have to basically be a practicing scientist/statistician, so I try not to put my whole argument on this or that figure. Instead I try to reason with people about the importance of individual rights and autonomy, and the importance of reserving some measure of _real_ power (not just votes, which mean nothing after a certain point) for the common people.

Paul: First, great video w/good info. Next, I was involved in three deadly force confrontations in my 30 years as an LEO, all armed w/my issued six shot .38. In 1974 I responded to a liquor store armed robbery and became involved in a gunfight w/the three suspects. Shot story is I emptied my revolver twice (12 shots) and hit one suspect 4 times, the other two ran away. The bad guy who was left moved around, hid behind things and shot at me after dropping one officer w/a round to his chest (no vest then). I did hit what he hid behind and ultimately had to finish him w/my blackjack b/c my gun was empty. It’s important to state that I qualified Expert (98% >) for all thirty years, but no one was shooting back at me at the time.

You have no reason to complain about your speaking. Having grown up with teachers and having been on myself as part of my profession I can tell you that your style is very good.

[@buff34x]

One of the main things I'll bring up to people getting into CCW/EDC is you don't get to choose the distance at which you'll have to defend yourself, your attacker does. Almost everyone I've trained to shoot pistols has had a relative tell them 7 yards and 3 shots in 3 seconds at 3 yards is the end all be all of training rather than a realistic goal to have after a couple months of shooting semi regular, or after a couple of days of heavy shooting. Latey after building up their confidence at 7-10 yards, I'll finish up with slow fire on a steel silhouette at 50 yards. Most think they can't do it, and on the first mag, they might get 1 or 2 out of 10-17 shots. I'll then only miss 1 or 2 out of my 15-17 rounds. Then, when they reshoot, they usually hit 50-75% because they've realized its possible. That might also only be effective on competitive people, though.

[@stainedskin123456789]

This was eye-opening in a big way. For my entire time spent learning all I can about firearms, shooting, collecting, etc., I always hear that the vast majority of self-defense shootings are going to happen at "Bad breath distance." As someone who prides himself on research before belief, I can't help but feel completely duped. One would think that studies widely regarded as "definitive" would be just that. So what is a guy to believe? Well, believe in it all and train for it all. 2 or 3 magazines at 30 yards to one shot at point blank and everything in between. Thanks Paul!

[@sirknight438]

When I was in college I was required to take statistics. The first day the professor got in front of the class and said: "Statistics are full of horse manure and you are here to learn why". From there, he taught us how to do statistical data and skew it to the need of the study, continuiously reminding us along the way why statistics were full of horse manure.

"Lies, damn lies and statistics." Mark Twain

[@jameshorn270]

Actually that was Disraeli, Twain was quoting him. There is a book called How to Lie with Statistics. It was first published in the early 50s and as far as I know, is still available. The actual intent was to show how the way statistics can be misleading, whether intentionall (especially advertising) or sometimes just sloppiness. For instance the graphs you see showing the behavior of the DOW Jones Average on a day is likely very jagged, even if the average varied only by plus or minus 20 points. That is because they cut out all but the top part of the DOW, you are not seeing about 22,000 points. Including the whole 23 or 24,000 points makes even a move of a few hundred points look fairly smooth. Like it is not mathmatically challenging. And it is short, more a pamphlet than a book.

[@GeezerWheels]

Thanks so much for ALL of your vids. Very professional and informative. I grew up shooting and reloading, hunting and target shooting. I have been legally armed for many years for 4 very specific reasons I'd like to share. 1. My brother was murdered in a drive by shooting in 1964. The perp was caught and his family threatened to kill the rest of us. 2. My sister-in-law was kidnapped, raped and shot to death (many years later). 3. My grandfather was shot AT and narrowly missed on his own rural property by intruders (bullet holes beside him in the garage wall). He returned fire with a 1911 .45 and the intruders left with holes in their auto. No one hit as far as we know. 4. My father was a WWII combat vet. After retirement, he was threatened with murder by a man who had recently been released from prison. The man drew a firearm and aimed at my father (dad served as a police officer in their small town). Dad shot and killed the ex-con. That said, our family is an upper middle class family, not thugs or weirdos. We had our own airplane, a ski boat and a wonderful "Beaver Cleaver" childhood. All of this was simply "random" aggression. Having a brother-in-law and an uncle who were "big city" police officers and had lots of information and advice - I chose to get my concealed weapons permit. Since leaving a big city myself, my confrontations are with rattle snakes and problem raccoons nowadays. REQUEST: Please keep making your excellent videos - and please try to convince your viewers to "GET OVER THE IDEA THAT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE!" After the 4 incidents that happened in our family, I am NOT paranoid, but simply convinced that it can and does happen to "us." - Retired in Colorado

[@stephencolley334]

As "Buldog" Mattis said "Be polite, be professional, be ready to kill everyone!"

[@ProfessorShnacktime]

Having an airplane is not “upper middle class” lmao. You’re from a rich family, that might have something to do with being targeted.

[@GeezerWheels]

@@ProfessorShnacktime I DO understand how you would make that assumption. Most private plane owners TODAY are quite well to do. In 1964 a10 or 15 year old airplane could be bought for about the same as a new F150 truck, certainly not a rich person's endeavor. And most people I knew owned the planes in small groups to be affordable. If you know the facts of my family and my brother's shooting, you would not be making untrue assumption. Truth: we were NOT rich at all, nor being targeted personally. The shooters (at Williams Park near White Rock Lake, 1964) shot into a crowd at a birthday part - my bother was hit at random Most of us lived in frame, middle class houses. We lived in a two bedroom frame house at the time. We had one car growing up. Dad was a car salesman. Our airplane was a 1949 Stinson 108 Voyager, rebuilt to be airworthy 15 years later. The plane was owned by my dad and his three brothers, both of whom made more money than my dad (we were a single income family with 4 kids). My grandfather's encounter was merely trespassers looking for a place to park and make out - way out in the country. My sister-in-law who was killed was quite poor and she and my brother lived on government assistance (SSI) because they were both special ed kids. When my dad killed the man who pulled a gun on him, he was making 36K per year living in a small frame house out in the country, retired. So we were simply a middle class family most of the time. The only time we were "upper middle class" was before my parent's divorce when dad was a successful mechanical engineer for about 15 years. The events were spread out from 1964 to 2002 - all very unrelated. I do hope people reading this will seek information before they make unwarranted and untrue assumptions. "Today, I am a 75 year old full time preacher working for a very small church, still trying to gather enough to simply retire. Rich? Not at all. No hard feelings - I understand you perspective.

[@ProfessorShnacktime]

@@GeezerWheels Just goes to show how much has changed over time, and how inflation has completely killed a real “middle class”. Now it’s working class and then the elite. We don’t have that in between anymore, not in the same capacity. Nice explanation, have a good day sir.

For two weeks, one group was given apple juice (qty not stated) while the other had no apple juice. Results: 3 of the 4 apple juice group got a kidney stone, while only 1 of the 4 control group got a kidney stone. This "study" is so absolutely meaningless and ridiculous for a thousand different reasons, but it goes to show just how (intentionally) shoddy and misleading studies are. And yet there are probably a hundred thousand or more gullible people who read this survey in the newspaper and swore off apple juice for life. Probably sponsored by the orange juice retailers of America : ) Studies in the social and behavioral sciences (pseudo-sciences) are always much worse than this, and we know what their agenda is.

That's how the world in general works, actually. Learn all you can, but in the end you have to cut your own path because you are always left with more questions than answers.

Charles; it's a shame that you don't do research in the climate change/global warming sector. That area could really use the honesty.

What I like about it is that he looks at the numbers then says, essentially, "to be on the safe side we do this."

We are gonna miss you paul.

Moral of the story is, all studies are not accurate so train for all distances/scenarios

CEO to members of the Board: What is two plus two? To General Manager: Will you allow overtime? Head of Engineering: Will there be any extenuating factors (as he pulls out his calculator)? Head of HR: How many “persons of color” will be counting? Sales Manager: Are there any discounts involved? Head of Accounting: It depends…what do you want it to be?

[@valczer]

According to statistic, my dog and I have 3 legs each. Lol Very professional and informative video.

[@boombox05]

Pretty sure I've watched...200? Paul videos and i don't think I've ever noticed a verbal tic. Thanks for all the knowledge!

[@dreadjavapirate]

"Peek behind the bikini when you can" Can we call this a Harrellism? ;)

[@unspecifiedusername8820]

I just love the openness and honesty of the caveats at the beginning. It's nice to hear someone who's just completely up front and isn't trying to give you anything but their perspective of the unvarnished truth.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Very insightful and interesting. You are my PhD gun advisor! Thanks.

[@konradandgail]

I just received an online advertisement from Federal touting their new, copper plated, split buck shot (Force X2). I'm betting a video covering how well or poorly this ammo works would be interesting. Thanks for all you do!

[@erniedesantis597]

Only the good die young. Sorry Paul.

[@JR-jv3cd]

I'm sure I probably said this seven years ago, but I have always gotten more from your "here's where I'm only going to talk" segments. An intelligent explanation of salient points is better than a 'close to useful' demonstration. Not saying your demonstrations fall into that category. They don't. But most interneters do.

[@cafenightster4548]

For some reason i find your video's interesting, maybe it's the calm way you talk and choice of words. I like your video's and good work.

[@smoekee]

I agree. The information and experience comes across extremely well.

[@bldlightpainting]

Agreed. Paul is not a filthy mouthed macho "I know it all" blowhard you see so often on KZbin, which is much appreciated by all mature gentlemen.

[@yugen]

For some reason? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's very objective, thorough, experienced, and intelligent? Just a guess ;)

[@BilgePump]

Dallas Van Winkle; naaaahhhh

[@jims512]

I agree. Paul seems like the real deal...not some gun shop tough guy that speaks in absolutes when it comes to this stuff, oh yeah, while trying to sell you something. I like IV8888 too. He's of the same quality IMO.

[@BPS10-Ga]

Watching these old videos makes me think how fragile and precious life is. We miss you, Paul Harrell.

[@HCheatNcool]

Man I miss seeing Paul

[@wichitazen]

The best gun site...period...informative, well thought out, articulate.

[@zogger5281]

Another terrific video. Thank you Paul! I think police involved incidents are very different than the situations involving us "normal" people. My rationale is: -Most police incidents are police initiated. They are attempting to interview or arrest a potential law breaker. While the rest of us are reacting to a situation that we probably did not plan on occurring. We are living our lives and something happens. -Police can have multiple officers on the scene before they initiate an encounter. Us normal people cannot. Usually it is just us. -Police operate under different rules of engagement than normal people. Normal people are trying to get out of the situation w/o harm to themselves or others. They will/must flee if possible. Police have to pursue the criminal and make an arrest. Police also have to involve themselves in a situation with two people arguing/fighting. Normal people should not get involved. -Police have various guns, rifles, body armor at their disposal while most of the rest of us have just a single gun/rifle. There are probably other difference, but these come to mind. I would really like to see someone collect data involving just us normal people being assaulted, attacked, home break in, robbed, etc to see the details of these situations. These are more likely to occur to us.

[@rogersheddy.8497]

Z52 in the late eighties when I was working on getting a degree I went over the statistics then available about shootings involving police involving and here's one thing that I found out: The ratio of police dying in a shootout to convicted felons dying in a shootout with police was 3 police for every two convicted felons. Notice these are guys that were left out of prison. This does not take into account people who don't even have a record of any kind whatsoever. That statistic is closer to a one-to-one ratio. Private citizens not engaged in any sort of enforcement work the number of private citizens to every convicted felon who is killed in the commission of a felony is 1 to 7. That is one private citizen is killed by the convicted felon for every seven convicted felons that are shot and killed by the private citizen. Of course this does not include muggings where the mugger takes your money and walks away without shooting you and it does not also include the cases where someone did not have a record before they were shot by a private citizen. That statistic is closer to one private citizen for every three "opponents." At the time that I looked at all the information the pistol that accounted for the most fatalities was the .25 semiautomatic. I would suppose that's because if you have a 25 automatic you have something and if you are very close you can place that bullet just about where you want it to go. Besides that you can go pop-pop-pop very quick with a .25 whereas with a .44 it's a little harder for you to do it like that. I understand that now it has shifted more to .380 and .38 Special. That is because they've been making those gun smaller and easier to carry and there are more sophisticated holster systems out there now than they had 30 years ago.

[@TheDiameter]

Roger Sheddy. Thats very enlightening, thanks for sharing that. My only correction would be that the vast majority of concealed carry guns are now chambered in 9mm and it’s not even close.

[@Washoejim]

Paul may be gone but his information is still and will continue to be relevant. Thank you Roy for keeping it rolling out there, new content that you produce is still going to be very important, so keep making new videos.

[@kengodwin9247]

You sir are spot on again. Great job. Respects.

[@franklinkarrass5830]

Thank you Paul. I am one of the people that watch your entire video from start to finish. I don’t want to miss any tidbit of useful information you have to offer. I learn something with each video you present.

[@1GUNSQUIRREL]

thank you for your service paul♥
