I came across Paul's channel when I first got into shooting about 5 years ago, he immediately stood out for not being in the least bit opinionated and was so much more humble than any self professed gun expert. His fun, dry mix of education and anecdotes has made the world of shooting so much more enjoyable and it broke my heart to hear of his passing. Rest in peace Paul, a true individual and a hell of a nice guy. You'll be missed always.

[@_ArsNova]

Wish I'd heard this one before my friend's eulogy haha. Cancer sucks. But at the very least, it teaches you that life ain't fair and to treasure every moment. Easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of what matters.

I lost my mom to cancer, you've given me a new perspective on her passing that I never had. Thank you for sharing this quote 🙏

That's kinda stupid honestly Edit: wow I got so much hate from a simple comment. but anyway, I think it's stupid because cancer is not equal a human. The death of the cancer and a whole human being (as if it's a fight) is not a draw imo. I know about Norm and these words don't make up him as a person (and he's just making a joke here anyway, but some people view it like something that makes sense, and that's actually what I'm calling stupid here). I'm not saying anything against him. You guys just wanna speak out your hate on something, and you stumbled upon my comment.

More than just a firearms expert, Paul Harrell was a man of integrity. He was patient, humble, and always willing to engage with his audience, answering questions, and offering advice without pretense. Whether through his popular “Paul Harrell Explains” series, detailed breakdowns of historical firearms, or his in-depth analysis of various shooting techniques, Paul left a legacy of genuine knowledge and respect for the subject. His passing is a loss not only to the firearms community but to everyone who valued calm, methodical thinking and the pursuit of education. He inspired many to approach firearms with care and responsibility, always emphasizing the importance of safety and practice. While we mourn the loss of a true expert, Paul’s work continues to resonate. His videos live on, educating and guiding future generations of gun owners, enthusiasts, and those seeking to learn more. His legacy is one of thoughtfulness, precision, and, above all, respect for the craft and for those who share in it. Rest in peace, Paul Harrell. Your wisdom will not be forgotten, and your impact will endure far beyond the screen. Thank you for everything you gave us. May you rest in peace and shoot your guns in heaven. Fuck cancer

​@@WarrezTheWolf ♡ Some people eventually can or already have been able to process death or _non-existence_ and don't feel so terrified by it. Others, may have convinced themselves they have, but they may find themselves unprepared when it comes. I used to find death to be, similarly, intimidating and tragic. My eventual death and the death of others I love. It felt like this huge looming thing, abrupt and inevitable. But as I've gotten older, it just doesn't feel as scary anymore. It feels paradoxically beautiful. Still to be respcted but not feared. Maybe it's just part of getting older... or maybe I'm in for a rude awakening lol.

[@Erin-000]

And as bonus words, _aka quotes I've heard before but stole straight from Google..._ A beautiful death is an ending that leaves room for celebrating a life well-lived "I have now decided that my death should be very precious. I really want to use it. I'd like my death to be as interesting as my life has been, and will be" - David Bowie Appreciation for life Embracing death can help people appreciate life more fully, and to live more fully in the present. The cycles of nature, such as the changing seasons and the decay of leaves, can be seen as beautiful.

Paul is, was, and always will be the cornerstone of the 2A community. He embodied every factor of responsible gun ownership/handling. He had a treasure trove of knowledge that he took great joy from sharing with his viewers. Short, fast, straight to the point. He never spoke unscripted, so you really get the feeling that he's speaking from his heart in a field of knowledge he cared deeply about. He was quick witted and hilarious, if not a bit fast spoken (he would rattle off quips so fast you'd have to rewind 3 times to pick up on his jokes). If you have any interests in guns, I'd highly recommend his content. If you only know about firearms through what the media has told you, I would HIGHLY recommend his content. There are a lot of good men who embrace the safety of those they love. In his field, Paul was a great man.

[@SANA-ADORN]

This was definitely surreal

[@MISP-yw3kj]

@@PrimateProductionsOn the internet, there is no linear time. What we have is when a person places the date on which a video was made. But the video is available all the time, in any era. If you watch a video that someone made 10 years ago, you'll see that moment from ten years ago when you watch it; the person will have the age and appearance from that date. So, in the reality we know, ten years ago no longer exists, we only have the present. But linear time only exists in our physical perspective. In higher dimensions, a consciousness observing our reality sees everything happening at once - the past, the present, and the future. It’s a continuum, all of our lives, and even we, who are adults today and remember when we were children, it is happening simultaneously. You, as a child, are still there, playing with your toys. This applies to any phase of your life. The future is also happening now, simultaneously. We just don’t physically access the past and the future. The proof of this is people who have the ability to see the future before it happens. They are simply accessing, through their consciousness, a future that is already happening. Remembering that some timelines may not be defined yet, until they reach the point of no return. That’s why some predictions from psychics don’t come true, because they accessed one of the probable timelines for someone or an event that can still undergo changes due to the unfolding circumstances. Accessing the past is simpler, as we are already ahead of the event that has already materialized.
