GUNS: First Time Shooter (Part 1) | Louder With Crowder

Our executive producer Scotty is a gun virgin. Although he is a big supporter of the Second Amendment, he has never even handled a firearm. So we decided to teach him the basics of operating and shooting a firearm.

Shot plenty of fire arms, from pistol to rifle, shot gun 12, 20 gauge, single shot, pump action, over and under, 50-cal, even fully auto. Even own multiple guns. Sure they can be good home defense and having it feel much safer but do you really need to open carry your side arm while getting lunch at Wendy’s in suburb? It’s 2018 for fuck sake and you people say USA is the best country in the world (which isn’t true at all), but can’t even go outside to get food without caring your weapon?

[@DavidGoben]

My father had a firearm collection that looked like Redstone Arsenal. My brothers and I were qualifying Expert on an M1 by the time we were 8. Every expedition to the gun range included the obligatory firearm safety drill, which we always lip-synced, but dad NEVER skipped it. Dad was a fanatic for never having a finger on the trigger when not firing, always pointing downrange of people, never having a round chambered when not firing, always being respectful of how potentially lethal your firearm is, always assume responsibility for everything you do with it, and understanding that goofing around with a firearm, even when unloaded and the bolt removed bought one a free trip to behind the woodshed.

Best thing to do for a first timer, is to hand them a "loaded" pistol and say, "go ahead, fire when ready" ... and then let them see how much they jolt when they pull the trigger with an unloaded firearm.

[@wyntermackenzie4952]

I use something like this as a diagnostic when I can't tell why a person's not hitting the target where they say they're aiming. Load a revolver randomly with live rounds and cases or dummy rounds. Hand it over, saying "okay, you've got six rounds, take them slowly" What they do on the dummy "shots" will give me a wealth of information about what's happening.

[@lyndonlong1849]

Walter pp9 is an outstanding gun and expensive. If you're new to shooting, I would recommend the Canik tp9SA elite or TP9 SA. Fantastic pistol around $310-$400. Outstanding pistol, very similar to a Walter.

[@rockhunterjens7884]

I wish I could give more than one upvote. On Christmas 2014, we took my daughter and son-in-law to the range. She had never handled ANY guns before. We had a couple of Ruger SR22s, a Ruger 10 22 rifle, a 9mm and my Bursa Thunder 380. My daughter is very petite. With that being said, she decided to learn how to handle the Ruger SR22 and then the Ruger 10 22 rifle. She learned she is an excellent shot!! She leaned to respect the gun!! She learned that handling a gun is not a life ending experience! We had the little plinking metal target set out about 20 yards for the 22s. She kneeled down on one knee and PLINK hit the target. She was thrilled!! It was such a wonderful experience!

[@hidesitemg]

Criminal Justice major here! A question was asked to my professor in my freshman policing class and it was "couldn't a police just shoot them in the leg and not kill them." If a police officer could just shoot them in the leg, it's believed that that target isn't that big of a threat and the officer should use non lethal force (beanbag, tazer, etc) and that if an officer has to use the firearm, then they need to shoot to kill and aim for center mass

[@wormraper]

not to mention that shooting in leg is FRAUGHT with risks. 1. Shooting a leg is harder than shooting center of mass. Even if you're a fantastic shot shooting downward at a moving target like a leg is pretty difficult. 2. You're shooting DOWN at the concrete usually. You miss, or that bullet goes through the leg and you've got a ricochet going on. 3. Femeroal artery. Read up on how easy it is to puncture that artery in the leg and how you can bleed out in under 4 minutes if you're not quick and get a tourniquet on. Only people who watch lots of action movies think shooting the leg is a good idea

Some of my fondest memories are with Dad at the range, and then with my boys at the range. Every boy should be raised by a MAN who teaches the respect, reality, responsibility, and the love of shooting. Fun shit!

[@Nick-ws3vv]

When you ripped your pants 😂😂😂

[@Colefyre]

More of these PLEASE!

[@BioShrog]

I absolutely love seeing videos like this!!! Good on you @StevevCrowder.

[@keaganwatts291]

I'm 21 and got my CHL or LTC whichever you prefer and I bought a Walther PPQ M2. I also have a 44 special both are awesome and fun to shoot.

[@shishka67]

Great vid, but you would've gotten your point across more with a 20 year old girl from California.

[@bushgawd7082]

I laughed too hard when he said "from a tree house!" Always will be one of my favorite movies.

[@TheLordMyRock]

This is aweome. Good to see a newb out there enjoying some good range time. Welcome brother!

[@McMintyMP]

This made me very grateful that my dad taught me about gun safety with BB..pellet and paintball guns . When I was old enough to own a firearm it was second nature. Now I know how I'll raise my kids.

[@skersfan6751]

steven, I strongly suggest enrolling in Front Sight. 4 day defensive handgun course is amazing. it'd be great if you could do it with Dave Rubin

[@travisdaye1977]

this video is so pure and i love it.

[@andybrown8293]

Really nice video Mr. Crowder, speaking as someone coming from a country that has threat of gun bans with regular frequency(yes I mean the UK!) I would like to say congratulations on your education of people on firearms. Keep up the good work and long live the 2nd amendment!!

[@KathrynLiz1]

Good video.....as a one time registered instructor in pistol, rifle and shotgun I found a surprising amount of difference between 'newbies'..... I often found that women were often easier to teach because they didn't have the idea in their heads that being male, they were born knowing how to shoot, and they did listen to what I was telling them... LOL... It's always a buzz to take a beginner to the range and see their eyes light up as they really get what it's all about.....

[@scottmcintire8634]

Though not a certified instructor, I had taken a lot of first time shooters to the range and taught them the basics, and also found women to be much better students, be much more attentive during the initial instruction, and also be much better shooters when at the range for the first time.

[@lukeslejko8943]

“If you were aiming for the leg, you hit the cat.”

[@oysterhead5150]

Great video, I take people shooting all the time, and they all react just like this guy did, they get into firearms!! Btw... Walther PPQ M2, one of the best semi-autos out there, amazing trigger!!

[@preflightdrip8672]

Glad you are teaching him the right way. showing him safety and discipline and starting off with a smaller caliber. too many people are scared away by being given too high a caliber for the first time. once he gets good consider letting him use a 12 gauge. i find the most fun comes with a decent amount of kick and if you can teach him something like five stand or skeet or trap. moving targets that kind of blow up are always cool.

[@mikeramirez1695]

It's good to expose people to guns. Gun education is the key to protecting our 2nd. When you put a gun in a person's hand and educate them, they begin to understand what the rest of us gun owners already know; guns are fun. There are a lot of people who have no exposure to the gun and it is those people who misunderstand or fear the gun.

[@shaneblake]

Smart guy picking out the PPQ. Wonderful gun. I have the original with the paddle release in 9mm

[@SkankHunt-qn5bw]

Walther sucks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGPUqol4jrGkaa8

[@formdoggie5]

As an ex special forces attached field medic who was trained as a foreign weapons instructor and has more firearms experience than most entire police departments you'd find--that Walther is great, and especially the .22. I actually prefer it in .22 to the 9mm. Go actually shoot one and compare it to all the compact .22's on the market and come back and let me know if you still think that.

[@emperoralvis6559]

Sig Sauer > Walther

[@murloc8973]

P320c here boys !!

[@aidanscovers]

Wait wait... special forces attached medic? So you were sf?

[@nickk2431]

Always good when people learn the right way. Great video. I'm glad I can teach people in an outdoor setting. Really takes the stress off. Great video though.

[@sawyerramos3113]

I remember my first time. Boy, the excitement!!!

[@foolslayer9416]

I got a Glock 17, CZ 75, and a Walter P99. What do you, my fellow Conservatives and Libertarians, have?

[@joshcorbett4787]

I'm Scottish, so I have a knife.

[@wedgiednerd]

I took a gal who had never touched a gun on a first date to a range. It wasn't a great idea. We rented a .22 revolver. After firing 3 bullets, she was done. LoL.

[@davidwebb7885]

BiGG Scott I hope you never saw that ungreatful bitch ever again! ha ha

[@FlyTour69]

What happened? Did she not like it?

[@scottlincoln6286]

Right on Steven, thank you for preaching safety.

[@DavidM8471]

Thank You for the video and thank you for having him hold the rifle the right way.

[@taofledermaus]

Did you guys get this idea from The Wound Channel's "never shot a gun before" series?

[@240pixel]

Hi Jeff

[@yendor29]

Everywhere i go you're there lol

[@240pixel]

Rodney Dougoud subscribe to that dude. He is worth it.

[@yendor29]

Already am lol and i agree

[@lightingthelatenight9942]

Why are you everywhere jeff lol

[@MasterBasser]

any time someone keeps their finger on the trigger im very hesitant to take them to the range or teach them further. people learning need to take this very seriously because the only safety is literally that trigger.

[@johnmanzuki8979]

Or if you trip with your finger on the trigger.

[@timothypaulino8454]

Master Basser Some people are slow learners, they still need to know how to properly handle a gun. I started shooting in basic training, in which period I got kicked off the range and got my hand hit with a paddle because I flagged the dsg 3 times with a loaded gun. but Im definitely more cautious of my gun handling now.

[@brandononeal543]

Master Basser I agree bout the finger on the trigger, I was disappointed with the video because he could of done a better job showing him proper handling of the firearms, instead he was enjoying making fun of him for not knowing how to handle em, which I get because there friends. But it's not professional especially filming it and putting it on KZbin. When I'm teaching someone bout guns I don't let em touch the gun till after I show them clearing the gun and proper finger placement, and always treating em as if they were loaded

[@wyntermackenzie4952]

I have literally snatched a loaded gun out of a student's hand at the range and given a time our for poor gun handling. It's a more powerful lesson there than anywhere else.

[@jackthearcher2156]

The trigger isn’t the safety. The only safety is your finger. If you’re finger isn’t on the trigger it won’t go off, and if it isn’t on the trigger ready to fire then the safety on the gun should be in anyway. Sure freak accidents happen, but as a general rule, no finger on the trigger=no boom

[@ericv79flh]

You earned my sub with this vid. Good job brining more people in to the sport.

[@brandonrupp5880]

Breaking in gun virgins is the best. It always puts smiles on faces.

[@Salty-Doggy]

44. Magnum most powerful handgun in the world one shot with this will take your head clean off

[@floridamann1109]

drinking wisconsinbly your username and this comment, take my like.

[@TGNXAR]

Darth Jar jar You missed his movie reference.

[@MrHyde-fu5sr]

It's not the most powerful. The .500 Smith and Wesson Magnum is far more powerful than the 44 and I don't think that's even the most powerful.

[@TheMoonisFlat223]

Mr. Hyde He is referencing the dirty harry movies, which were made in the 70's. the .500 S&W was developed in 2002, so it wasn't around at the time. The most powerful handgun was the .44 magnum, 45 colt, or the .454 casull (which was not really heard of at the time of making the movies)

[@angrydragonslayer]

there were black powder handguns that delivered 900-1100 more joules than the .44

[@luxordeathbed]

part 1? Where is the rest. I like these vids allong with change my mind.

[@jacobforbes7212]

That’s my old gun range in Lewisville Tx. Great place, great staff.

[@troy9er]

I just watched Mr. Guns and Gear channel. He had a guy from Australia on his channel who never shot a gun before. It was great!! The guy shoo everything from a 22 LR TO A

[@bigginga3885]

5:15 Stephen Crowder confirmed thicc

[@ghostrighter4435]

He should try a .454 Casull next time. That's a hand-cannon.

[@McCollum2009]

Ghost Righter too big too soon

[@shavguru]

Nicely done, very educating. Thank you

[@burdmann24.7]

This totally blew my mind, growing up around guns it never occurred to me how clueless some people are about firearms. Good to see crowder educating
