It's ppl like you that make it hard for ppl to own a gun. Youre closed minded and think the world's rainbow and cupcakes. Where I come from kids go hunting because their dad had enough sense to teach them to use it. And we rarely have a shooting here. If everyone would raise their kids even when it's hard and not give them everything and teach them the world revolves around their feelings maybe there wouldn't be as many mass shootings when some punk gets his feelings hurt. Ppl need to raise their kids instead of letting the internet do it and stop worrying about how I raise mine.

[@1HeavyHitr]

Exactly. Most kids figure out how to get around or undue child safety locks, while the parent/parents struggle with them.

[@haroldnewbill1002]

Children are very creative and curious, neither should be underestimated...when they are people get hurt. In my opinion, leaving a gun out like that is a recipe for disaster. I don't see why a "gunvault" mounted near your bed is not close enough and accessible enough unless you are sleeping at a bus station where things like door locks, deadbolts, a dog, a house alarm being breached is not enough time to get ready.

Agreed. That was the only thing in the vid I took issue with - never, I repeat NEVER underestimate a child's drive and curiosity. Give em enough time, they'll figure it out.

My first firearm was a 1911 when I was 13. I was living in the rural swamps of Florida and the sheriffs knew I carried it on me all the time and never batted an eye because of the huge alligator population in our area. I ended up shooting 3 gators before my 14th birthday and one of the deputies was in the area when I shot my second one and we loaded it into the back of his cruiser and helped me cook it when he was off duty that night. That is how America needs to be again and it sickens me to the core to know one of my favorite States went democrat and is now erasing it's citizens rights.

If I have a gun and the robber has a knife, well guess what, I have to put away my gun, grab a knife, and fight him like a fucking duel.... If not I get charged with deadly assault, even if I was in my home defending me and my family. It’s practically illegal to defend yourself in Canada. There was a story from Toronto about a man who came home to see a home invasion in progress. He grabbed a baseball bat and took a swing at the guy. I don’t remember if he hit the robber or not, but the crook ran off, then turned around and successfully pressed assault charges against the man.

Although it's completely possible to be responsible with martial arts, it must also be said that many do really just get involved in them to kick ass. After all, just ask the Asians. They have centuries of history of big dojo regions having Kung Fu gang wars because all the teenagers in the town know martial arts and want to use it and see who's is the best. There's a reason why the military skimps on basic forces hand to hand training, they found that all the highschool kids they taught it to starting fighting and next thing you know your own forces are crippled because everyone was kicking each other's ass instead of working together.

[@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

The problem is that just about every kid has seen his favorite action hero manipulate a pistol slide. They WILL copy that. If you have firearms in your home, your kid MUST respect it's dangers. And if you have to go and buy a cute little piglet and shoot it in the head in front of the kid, that trauma is still better than them shooting one of their friends by accident. Personally, I will make it a point to give my kids the guns to hold (unloaded, of course) to lessen the pull of the forbidden and curiosity. I will also instruct them how to touch a gun that they don't yet know if it is unloaded or not. I will also teach them to put it down if it should be loaded. And if they wish to shoot, I will take them to the range. Children can be easily taught how to do things right. What is hard is teaching them not to do something they wish to do at all. That is why abstinence as a contraception method works so horribly bad.

I always love rewatching this video even almost ten years later. Barry was the show. Rest In Peace Professor Barry.

[@invisiblerevolution]

Great video!!!! I'm a Philadelphia police officer (through no fault of ours) we always arrive on the scene after the fact. A cop's "immediat presence" is the only thing that really defers crime! Once a cop turns that corner and drives away, the public is on their own. If you can see a police car or an officer walking his/her beat....your safe. But if you don't see a cop car or police officer around you, then your on your own.

[@randyreddig5239]

[@brotherbruno1783]

One key feature of training with your weapon is to learn how to exploit the strengths of the cartridge while mitigating its weaknesses. One round from a 44 magnum is enough to stop anything alive, but if you have a shaky grip and break your nose in the process of shooting it because you’ve never trained with it before, you’re creating more problems than you hope to solve. Same thing with a 22: 10 rounds of 22 in the right place is enough to stop anything, but if you only shoot one round in a non vital area, then you’re not going to stop the threat. The key factor here isn’t the cartridge, it’s how much you’re willing to train with the cartridge you select and learn to play to it’s strengths. 1 round not doing the job? Get a weapon that shoots 10, then train on rapid fire drills. 1 round too much? Go to the range and shoot again and again until your muscles become attuned to the recoil. The issue isn’t the weapon or the cartridge it fires, it’s the preparedness of the operator that is going to decide the engagement when it occurs. Someone armed with a 22 with thousands of rounds down range from their weapon of choice is a much more potent threat than someone else with a magnum they have no idea how to use. Needless to say, I disagree with the emphasis he places on cartridge selection. Training is far more important than caliber.

[@ajbianchi03]

Terrible advice on the leave the magazine 10 feet away comment, get a portable gun safe, a small one, I think they make ones that read fingerprings, or at least a digital lock, trust me the extra 5 seconds is well worth the huge safety trade off.

[@user-ge2qn6gp4o]

Those are both bad ideas. Keeping your magazine across the room or keeping your gun in a safe are both bad ideas defensively. If you are not using your gun as home defense, then by all means keep it in a safe. If it is for defense than you need to be able to have it ready extremely quickly or it will do you no good. If you have children that you need to worry about than there are better options out there that meet both criteria. I'm not going to spend an hour listing them all here as it's easy to research. But if someone enters your home while you are sleeping you may not know it until they are opening your bedroom door. All the time you may have is how long it takes for them to cross your bedroom, sometimes less. Having a gun won't always save you either. But most times will at least give you a fighting chance.

[@travisdaye1977]

how about a mid size 357 magnum for a "starter" gun? this way they can start off with .38 special and when they feel brave they can put 357 magnum in it? is that sensible?

[@DJNEMP]

Bravo, good, I did so several years ago and I recommend it. 357 is more fun to shoot (after a raisonable progression by 38 WC, 38 FMJ /SP and 38+P). But be aware, a 357 mag with 165 dB of noise for self defence without hearing protection will definitively destroy your ears, stay on 38 special, 156 dB destroys (a little) less...

[@travisdaye1977]

DJNEMP yay then i shall do that hwen i move to pennsylvania and out of this police state known as MD where my neighbors stopped talking to me when i found a 100+ year old .32 revolver at a construction site last year. they really did stop talking to me because i didnt have to register it because its so old. as far as they are concerned, im an illegal gun owner while by the law standard i am not.

[@austinhuber3131]

Great video, but he's off base on a couple of things. Concern for safety features isn't indicative of irresponsibility, if anything wanting a safety is a sign of responsibility and there's no reason to discourage that. Secondly, not wanting to take another life is actually quite normal and human. That's why so much military and cop training is devoted to condition that out of you. If you do end up having to shoot in self defense, legally you can only shoot until the threat stops. If the attacker is downed but survived, you can't keep shooting them, that's murder. So it doesn't make sense to claim at any point that you decided to kill your attacker, you shoot them until the threat stops whether they die or not is immaterial.

[@iandrsaurri625]

One thing that every person who uses a firearm to protect their home needs to remember. Identify your target before you fire at them. They might be your kid sneaking out of the house.

I've had guns for years, Carried occasionally. I started carrying daily 3 1/2 years ago when I retired and started walking the dog. It might be the relaxing walk, it might be that I've retired and no longer deal with stupid, but I've become calmer, more polite, friendlier. I've sat in the park and talked with mothers, fathers, grandfathers, the town crazy person. The dog and I have met a lot of dogs, delivery drivers, mail men, utility workers, people out walking and it has always been friendly and polite. We are welcome in the city hall, the county offices, banks, stores.

[@lpfan724]

You guys are spot on. I hear so many "I want to scare them." They want a shotgun because they think when they pump it, it'll scare criminals. While I think most agree on a shotgun for home defense, it should be loaded with one in the chamber. If I'm grabbing mine to protect my loved ones, someone will likely be shot. My goal isn't to simply scare criminals.

[@ShinobuSakurazaka]

"The greatest victory is the battle not fought". Most criminals are cowards and if you can scare them off without shooting then that is much better result then having to explain yourself to the police who already label us gun owners as killers with itchy trigger fingers. I've had two break-ins in the past when I lived in a rough part of town and that son of a bitch ran out the back door as quick as a flash when they heard the pump action of my Mossberg at the top of the stairs. No-one got hurt and nothing got stolen and my landlord FINALLY replacing the dodgy back door that the criminal kicked in.

[@ivansexe1769]

***** My wife had a similar experience. 1 pump and they run. Can't always rely on that. Some people are crazy and high, but it's much better to not have to fight. My neighbor said she was thinking of buying a gun but didn't think she could kill someone to protect her life or possessions. Someone asked, "What if your kids or grandson were home." She replied, "I wouldn't even hesitate." Interesting mindset.

[@MrMleczkp]

If you can buy gun thug who will assault you can as well And contrary to popular belief criminals don’t use black market guns they buy them in stores. “black market” is just a buzz word any way. Go buy gun in store Then report it as stolen but sell it to some guy then he sell it to criminal bum criminal have black market gun. Hurr you couldn’t stop him from getting it. No you could. No legal guns =/ hard to get illegal one. Not that I wish for guns to be illegal. I’m gun enthusiast myself but guns aren’t for protection if you have to have gun to feel safe in peace time you live in failed state.

[@ivansexe1769]

MrMleczkp Many of us don't feel that we NEED guns to be safe. I use mine to hunt, but with all the guns on the market the last 200 years it is unfeasible to simply ban guns. Even if it happened, there would still be millions of guns out there. Also, gun shows and friends are where most criminals get guns. I think gun shows should be more regulated.
