Two real life situations that happened to me. First one was in NJ with a compliant AR15 I owned. Had a stranger walk up to me on the firing line and tell me it was illegal to own that "weapon" in NJ. I proceeded to ask why its illegal and if he's a lawyer or a LEO? He replied he was not and it was illegal just because it is....I ignored him and finished up my range session. Second situation was at a public range in Delaware where I was test firing a friends 10/22 that I just installed a new bullpup stock on it. I was only planning on firing 50 rounds, so I had 5 10 round mags ready to go. I was firing slowly, allowing the trigger to reset then pressing off another round. The "Range officer" came screaming over at me yelling "ONE ROUND A SECOND!!!!" I stopped, looked at him and said I was doing that. He said do it again and your out of here! So I loaded up a fresh mag and ran it as fast as I could! I looked at him and said now that's rapid fire! I packed up and left. Never went back lol

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

I don't understand the 1 round a second thing especially if you are actually training and practicing fundamentals as you are never going to just fire 1 round per second unless the recoil for long guns was high or the muzzle rise on handguns was high mostly on polymer frame guns as not enough weight to it as the weight is all on the heavy slide

[@mikefarmer4748]

@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena Although I get it, maybe, sort of, the concern, black or white rules just don't work. It's like holster draw rules or any of that kind of stuff. There's a time and place everything. People are at the range for lots of reasons. Sometimes even to train, or even practice. Whaaaaaat? It's like some of these ranges never heard of competition shooting. Well that requires practice and training.

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

@@mikefarmer4748 Hell even if you are practicing for self defense you need to fire 3 rounds per second at center mass. Which in order to do that and not accidently 8 rounds one needs to train as high stress situation so they can be aware how many shots they fired while under adrenaline

Eh. I had a high school friend post video of her daughter shooting what was clearly an AR-15 pistol with a vertical foregrip on it. I had to ping her on it and let her know she might be breaking the rules if she doesn't have an SBR tax stamp. Made it pretty clear that I don't give a F, but the ATF might and since I care about her, thought I would bring it up tactfully and privately. If someone wants to question the legality of my firearm, I don't care because I'm not a little b*&%.

Being an old guy, I've seen the list of range safety rules get longer and longer over the years. I still like going to the range, but I have to say that I feel uptight because I know I'm being watched.

[@Jet2416-Reloading]

The first time I went to a designated shooting range I'm pretty sure the posted rules list was 5 items of the most basic safety things that parents used to teach their kids. I'm sure there are any number of reasons why the rules have gotten so long today but I'd say the obvious would be that some people in the past, without self control or common sense, created the reason for them.

[@gutsbiker]

@@Jet2416-Reloading Yes the world had changed, it's hard these days to even get into a shooting club. 30 years ago they were begging for members. Liability insurance and increased numbers of users, and I believe a bit of politics have made the list of range rules longer.

[@upinarms79]

You have to understand though that there are also a lot more gun owners than there used to be, many of them just buying a firearm for the first time, and by a lot more I mean numbers and sales have tripled just in the last few years. Of those new shooters, many are unfortunately very, very ignorant of shooting and gun safety and need supervision because they go to the range without ever having fired a shot and without any idea of how to safely handle a firearm. I understand that it's frustrating for a veteran shooter to have to put up with, but once you've been muzzle flashed by some giggling airhead who has no clue she's one hiccup away from putting a round in someone on the range line because she doesn't understand the importance of keeping her weapon pointed down-range, you start to understand why they need those rules and why they want to enforce them.

[@Divenity]

This is the kind of stuff that makes me never go to public ranges... I'd rather drive 45 min out into public land to an abandoned quarry or whatever where I can shoot without being bothered by the local fudds.

I work at a gun store and the people that I can't stand dealing with the most are the Avid Hunters.

CSB time regarding range nah-tsees. My sub pulled into Faslane Naval Base in Scotland about the time a lot of the post 9/11 changes were taking effect. Part of this included arming the nuclear operators (because nothing says "national security" more than giving guns to a bunch of 19-25 year old autistic kids). Our weapons department coordinated with the Brits to get some range time to get us qualified on the Mk 60 and M16. The only rule they gave us was "try to keep under three round bursts." Thanks to the combination of alphabetical order and my last name, I was up first on the Mk 60. I shot competition smallbore for years, and have a very set routine for shooting from prone. So I'm laying there behind the 60, walking through my routine in my head as I go: "sight.... grip... aim... breathe... squeeze... breathe... follo........ wait, why is the gun still shooting? OH, SHEET! RELEASE!" The whole ordeal was maybe 3 or 4 seconds, but that was enough to stay on target, completely destroy the stand behind the target, and catch the paper on fire from the tracers. Weps guy was laughing his ass off, calling me an "effin nuke" among other things, and telling me to get up and get back. Not 15 more seconds later, a humvee skids to a stop in the parking lot and an British MP jumps out shouting "WHAT IN BLOODY HELL ARE YOU COWBOY YANKS DOING?" Thanks to my couple second burst, the Brits decided that we were no longer welcome on their range.

15:02 - I agree, it's not just the 2A community. I think it's society in general. For example, people have commented on my videos asking if my project car is road legal. Why do they care? If it wasn't road legal (which it is), do they plan to turn me in to the DMV? Or are they just being nosy?

[@BogeyTheBear]

Well, when the glass is half-full: Maybe they want to know if they can copy you and still keep it on the road.

[@michaelblacktree]

That's a good point.

[@MissNeonNyx]

I am a female and have been watching your videos for years. I really enjoy the laid back nature of your content as well as how informative it is. Most of all, sharing the fun of the gun world. Keep up the good work.

[@shadetreehomesim]

I kept laughing, stop reading my mind! When people see an “other” and start asking for NFA paperwork and I laugh.

[@MyWatchIsEnded]

They would come over to my gun lane and ask me why I'm shooting "The Liberator" 3D printed gun at a gun range. My answer would be, "to practice for when I need to use it 😁"

[@MyWatchIsEnded]

@johnnys141 it's just a joke I don't even own a 3d printer lol

[@rodiculous9464]

I once saw a "safety nazi" argument nearly devolve into a full on shootout, at a certain notoriously unsafe shooting range. Probably the most uncomfortable I had ever been around guns. Like some people have way too much ego attached into being a "hall monitor"

[@gpveteran2269]

I called the ATF FFL office and asked if a convicted felon has their rights restored if they could also obtain an FFL upon said rights being restored. They said yes

[@BBEEAATTNNGGUU]

It's like the guy who walks up in the gym and wants to correct your form.

I love when you guys go off on tangents it's very entertaining. Great video over all, I listen to these while im at work and it helps pass the time thanks for all the content.

I learned something. Would like to get into suppressors.

[@coreymoyers]

Try educating someone why they can’t put a vertical grip on a pistol. You’ll quickly realize why so many people took the shot.

[@ansuz444]

Yup

[@jduffey320]

This makes me really happy that I go to a private range. I couldn't tolerate random people questioning me. I do agree with the "much Ado about nothing" point but I think it's a testament to how far some gun owners will go to follow the law and how difficult and confusing it can be to do that. Like the guy freaking about the suppressor paperwork. He's probably just super paranoid about breaking any laws. Everybody knows they intentionally make gun laws a legal minefield. I've watched so many videos and read so much to try and be educated. I don't wanna end up in the clink because I didn't ask questions. Also don't use notes for your show. I like the format you're using. It's more realistic.

[@cutlerylover]

Most annoying statement goes like this...Im pro guns but... (Insert an exception) Its worse that people just hating all guns lol...To me it sounds like I love speeding but only go 100 if you go 105 your dangerous...What?!?!?!?!

Solid As Always Gentlemen! Pure 🔥

[@andrewjohnson6907]

So I can agree with this at the outset, BUT here's my caveat. When you have a person just ripping rounds at a banner sized target and bullet strikes are all over, and they're just making noise and hitting the ceiling, that's not ok. If you rapid fire and hit your target, fine. I was at an indoor recently teaching my mother to shoot her AR, she kept flinching horribly while these idiots were rapid firing a .300 BLK and hitting the ceiling. So I brought out my 10.5 with a brake and taught them the true meaning of loud, and after that they stopped. Rapid fire is fine. But if you're being an idiot and your muzzle is climbing uncontrolled, you deserve to be told to knock it off.

[@jongruen7854]

Reserve the right to correct people doing stupid Sh*t.

[@andrewjohnson6907]

@@jongruen7854 yes, and let it be known that two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights will make a left turn.

Great discussion, good Gun Gripe. Keep 'em coming. I'm on that 2A arc too!

Damn, I didn't know old Barry has been dead for years. Goes to show how people stumble upon old channels. R.I.P. and thanks for all the videos guys.

[@trashpanda762]

I'm just saying I like the tangents that get off topic cuz yall come back around to it and it's funny

[@kirksmith347]

That's why if I want to have fun I go to public land, have my own targets, do what the heck I want.

[@tnabbiger]

I wondered about the sawed off shotgun. But your explanation, solves it. Being a nurse I often educate, but like you, still get wth look.

Make gun grips great again. Lol, I like the tangents. Keep up the great work.

[@5five6rudy]

I really think our local gun shops should recommend your guys social media pages to gun purchasers… especially the 1st time buyers

[@jammbbs1688]

I say this while at a range with anyone else there don't get sucked into your optics and forget to keep mindful of others and keep your head on a swivel not to be a negative nacy towards the others but mindful if they keep pointing the gun towards you or others you can't make others be as safe as yourself so watch out for your own safety that's all

[@REBELDAWG308]

My wife works at a place that is very micro/macro managed and they use the term "BE MINDFULL OF THIS OR THAT" and it drives her crazy because that limits free speech and free ideas!!!

[@mikemcshea5919]

A big issue I see at the public range is guys whining about getting hit with hot brass from other shooters. Dude if your that concerned and fragile dont go to a range.

[@ronws2007]

14:15 good point. The ATF does not ask for the form 4 is. They want to know where your dog is at. Note to self, get level 3 armor for the dog.

[@wesleycameron1034]

Heck yeah I’m new to this and am trying to learn. Got my first last November. I always have guys telling me what to do in the comments. My number one response to the jerks out there is.. “hey nameless coward don’t say anything here that you wouldn’t say to my face… face to face you wouldn’t say crap keyboard cowboy!”

[@daltongarrett7117]

lol good response to the bullshit

[@animalmother5902]

Keyboard cowboy lmao I love that one

[@stagalgiz1097]

I mean if you had something cool I wanted to check out I'd come over and chat with, otherwise I keep shooting my toys and having fun.

[@blindside3233]

Instead of yelling "I certainly hope you've got a machine gun loisence!", ask the person "What is that cool toy and where can I get one?"

[@Thee_Sinner]

Perfect Chipman impression in the thumbnail

[@jimbranscomb4350]

that "don't rapid fire" rule is really stupid, how can one practice with limitations?

[@billparks7368]

If someone is telling you in the comments to stick to the skripted subject, then they are the hall monitor that you're talking about. I enjoy you guys just hitting the hot topics and then going off in the weeds. It's all good. Stay safe. 👍
