Mt sons a college student, veterinary science, and division 2 football center. He has a big heart, goes out of his way to help people, or offer a hand. In high school he didn't have a large number of friends, but knew everyone. He often went out of his way to stop bullying. He is also a big supporter of 2A to the point he refused to participate in the high school walk out against gun violence. This spurred 100 other students to not want to participate. They were treated like crap because of it, but they stood their ground and did what they felt was right. With that said, he and I had this type of discussion many times. If there is an active shooter and he is not within 10 feet of you, get away, find cover, run! If he's that close, its him or you, don't show restraint, pitty, or remorse. Do what you need to do to survive the fight and most importantly.....end the fight in your favor.

[@theturkeysopinion]

I think the Dr Doesn't even understand caliber most likely. He simply wants to know how many holes does he have to evaluate/work on and where are they located so he doesn't have to search. He will evaluate the damage and do what is necessary or pass it to the coroner. So you are very correct about putting a hole where it needs to be ( vital area ) but then you talk about multiple holes and bleedout. 🤔 Are we wounding or stopping? IMO The 9 mm is not a goldilocks caliber for DEFENSE. It is a goldilocks caliber for cost per round,weight,cartrige size,easy of use and availability. Then the fact that it is the current favorite so development, promotion and public knowledge for 9mm will overtake anything else at the moment. But simply put there are much better calibers out there for some people ( not all )when it comes to defense. .40 is a nice step up with not much capacity loss. 45+p delivers nice ft lbs on target. 357 will wreck anybodys day. .44 is a one shot stop in a chest cavity and would crush a limb/pelvis/shoulder etc. A .22 Mini mag in perp will do it too, maybe fast, maybe slow. Stay away from .25 acp lol. (Truly worthless round) Thanks for the video!👍👊🦃

I bought a 45 m&p for my first handgun during the first summer of the bug, and then I bought a compact Springfield .45. So I’ve got a fair amount of ammo. I’m thinking now about a .380 because it’s so concealable. So I can either get the Ruger LCP max, or maybe a palmetto dagger in 9mm or a Glock in 9. I love that deep deep concealability and comfort of the ruger though.

[@teiwaztim1482]

different guns can be fun, but [and this is only my opinion] if you're going to buy multiple guns, make a few of them in the same caliber. I reload, and this is crucial, especially for the price of ammo and availability of components lately. same goes for just buying ammo. when you strike gold, dig deep. also, I've got the m&p .45acp as welI. thats a fun little gun! i carried that thing every day for years, til i got my canik, which is a much slept-on brand.

I traded a .45 compact that pulled my pants down for a g42 .380 7 total rds w 1 in chamber . Less than 1 lb loaded single stack and it stays where my wallet would. I like it better than a double stack. I wouldn’t mind or I’m acceptable to aluminum liberty rds if they would cycle. Everyone has their threshold of size weight to me it’s the Goldilocks size.

As a liberal gun owner, I had to learn from trainers, gun shop workers, handbooks, friends, old vets that I know to get to the level of knowledge that I have today, and even so, I know I don’t know everything, and there’s always something that I could improve on.

As ANY assistance what so ever which may allow. As, thankfully i can count the number of times in my life where i had to “flip that switch” and choose to overwhelm a threat by consentrating and directing said violence onto another human being by means of non-lethal force to escape a bad situation and prevent that bad situation from evolving into a worse situation.

You just need to be able to put rounds on a human size target up to a somewhat respectable range with decent accuracy. Speaking as someone who has been in a shooting situation, it's probably going to happen a lot closer than you think, if it ever does.

@@dimmymackster431 well I haven't killed anyone yet , got hunters safety at 12 years old and am 52 now. I have all the cool toys and do shoot when I can. Get off your high horse, it's not rocket science but you do make it sound complicated so I can only assume its tough for you so training is required.

Idk man I think I'll risk my mom being sad that I'm dead over some guy dying and going to hell forever because I didn't step in and try to be the good guy with the gun.

[@adamsowers8957]

I'm one of your viewers that has been watching you for 13 years. I have been with you since the very beginning. Every single time you talk to the new gun owners I enjoy it. What scares me in this country is a generation of people who aren't interested and don't care about the 2A. We HAVE TO DO OUR PART WITH INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION. Don't be a selfish asshole about Eric's video content.

I thought youtuber deleted my message before, I found a problem, Google will automatically block some comments from non-Westerners like me, as long as they mention some hot topic words in the world

CAN'T AFFORD TO TRAIN With the STUPID PRICES OF AMMO

[@fujimi715]

"The importance of training" in other words, what most people who watch this channel don't do..... all they do is post "molon labe" pics but sit on their ass at home not doing anything

[@mikebabb2155]

While this is an older video and I agree that training is important I must say that I disagree that the covid ammo shortage showed us which caliber is the right caliber and to say that it did is kind of silly and shows bias. The covid ammo shortage literally just showed what is popular. To say that one caliber is right because it is popular is like saying that if six out of ten people at a cookout choose well done steak while the other four choose medium rare or rare then well done is the right way to cook a steak. Like y'all said one person will choose boxers and another will choose briefs because we all have different preferences. So what is right for one person is not always right for somebody else. To paraphrase Paul Harrell when you make a statement that is partially true you are making a statement that is completely wrong.

😂😂😂 Jokers, you.

[@mikechampion1614]

Educating new gun owners is just as important if not more so. a educated gun owner is less likely to make a big mistake. Even experienced shooters with lots of knowledge. and good hapits can make mistakes. And let's be honest about the left loving it when it happens.

Our club has had hicks with .44 magnums show up for the IPSC match and hinting none to gently that they re there to show everyone how it is done. They claim anyone can hit those "giant" targets". Four or five shooters into the first stage they are staring in disbelief at what is going on. Their idea of "good shooting" is being able to hit a gallon jug thirty feet away every time. Usually they just slink away.
