Profiles of Courage: Jeff Gonzales

[@popacap21]

+popacap21 lol!!!

I attended 3 Concealed Carry seminars taught by Jeff Gonzales last weekend at the NRA Carry Guard Expo in Milwaukee. I came away with pages of notes and a wealth of information. He is the real deal and I appreciate him sharing his experience and knowledge with average guys like me who strive to become more and more proficient as a law abiding armed citizen.

[@MyGunzBurst]

This is one of the best if not the best KZbin videos out there that hits it one the head. Love how calm and direct he came across.

[@ToXSicK1340]

Thank you for your Service, Sir!

[@RKHarm24]

What Jeff had to say was a very pointed stick. He broke it down to the basics in protection and preservation. The Concentric rings overlap, leaving fewer blind spots. We all have our assignment, self directed and we must depend on us, each one in the rings, We must keep the bad guys off balance and worried if the next person will be armed and not willing to be a victim.

[@djarnoldo516]

Interesting video. I especially like the four circles of defense model, its something that I have tried to explain to people but they still look at me weird. Oh, one more thing...lose the stogie on video, dude, its distracting.

[@andrewsquire9892]

+DJ Arnoldo You said it for me. I thought maybe the repeated focus on the cigar puffing was a joke, but I guess not meant to be. It was distracting to the point of annoyance. With that said, let's focus on training action.

[@totalradicalness]

He's a vet, he can do whatever in the fuck he wants

[@rooster7658]

Well said Sir

[@ballparkweiner1]

This is the Group, Trident Concepts, that Bill Geissele designed the "Super T" Tricon Trigger for at the request of Mr. Gonzales.

[@koryfoddrill5334]

Kudos to every word you said..my mindset is the same..I do whatever I can to try to educate the sheeple to the tyranny and attacks that will come..I'm vigilant to my surroundings at all times. I carry concealed everyday, and I try to encourage people to do the same. It's up to us to protect ourselves from a threat that can arise any given time. You don't have time to wait for police. Also I would like to thank you for your service. Not many people earn that trident and become an elite operator as you have. Thank you for this video.

[@iyn1911]

Good point.

[@Ranger42]

Mr Gonzales has great things to say and obviously very qualified. However, his cigar puffing tempo is way off and totally distracting to the message. Not saying he shouldn't be smoking a cigar, nor do I think that I could do a better job; however, he's trying to sell his company's services and as such, y'all should re-shoot this spot when he's in a calmer state of mind.

[@PACMANx805]

Holy fuck this guy is hitting that shit like there's no tomorrow

[@wyldewest278]

This is awesome. Couldn't say it better.

[@1911Drew]

Great video, excellent subject matter analysis.

[@WesMerc]

Well said

[@stephaniesarahfishman3986]

very interesting.

[@andrewiRevere5711]

Great information. I am sure there are many people that can benefit from that mindset . Plus you took a cigar down to the nub in like 2 minutes flat so I’ll listen to anything you have to say.

[@glennhynes5263]

Only a 50s tv detective pauses so much conversation to suck on a cigar.

[@brentgalloway5887]

The cigar commercial gets in the way of the message!

[@JoeDeLeonA]

Had the privilege of trainning with Jeff, couple of years back way south of the border... We did not impress him I'm affraid, but he did impress me with his knowledge and nice wile been straight to the point teaching.

[@woodchuckcider1870]

tactical cigar

[@lovellrodriguez8567]

The.only.easy.day.was. Yesterday

[@jackdowdell6684]

I don't think anyone gets this, but I get it. You funny.

[@Grady00683]

Boriqua?

[@Saku19]

+aaron g Probably not, he's from Texas.

[@xsickpeoplex]

smokes cigar once

[@DrFrankn_MrStein]

i think his cigar has an attachment to ptsd.

[@Slow_Hand_Luke]

Shoots a Glock from the 1st. Distal Joint and charges it via overhand technique ! A sure sign of some who really knows what they're doing !

[@pitbull82]

That's one thing I've noticed has changed or at least varied over the last few years. "Sling shot" or "slide stop" method. "Pad of the finger," or "1st distal joint." Travis Haley uses the slide stop method. He most definitely "knows what he's doing." "Fine motor skills go out the window during stressful events." I've been under stress overseas, and taking a weapon off safe, as well as squeezing the trigger are fine motor skills. Repetition is most important. What's your view/opinion now, almost 1 yr later? I'm curious, and I'm not being a smart ass "Web commando." Just FYI

[@davidfarber2210]

I agree with what you are saying but you really need to give up those cigars!

[@andymacdougal]

What cigar? I didn’t see any fuckin cigar

[@tacticaltrioadventure5224]

Why he don't have a good grip in that pistol what is that he was a seal come on

[@BrodyToYou]

The only acceptable way of lighting a cigar is with a wooden match.

[@chescarino]

roll it in the flame and then waft the cigar until it's lit properly. do not draw the flame through the cigar..

[@kerstenkendall3238]

God your hot better looking than tim kennedy

[@HAUSS81]

Panteao is not impressing me. This guy is a mess.

[@MakeReadyTV]

We're sorry that some of the top firearms instructors in the world do not meet your standards. Maybe you should consider finding a video production company to film you?

[@HostileIntent]

PanteaoProductions I love these videos and they help me very much. Thank you for making them.

[@cb7677]

lol where does this dude get off? def trolling

[@popacap21]

No sweat Panteao.. Jeff seems like a high speed dude.. real good footage.... Fuckboy Hauss is more of a rosie o'donnell type guy

[@ShooterMedic1818]

Why only draw from the Mil/Socom walks of life there are so many more like Law Enforcement/Agents and competitive shooters.....

[@ryank.7311]

They do have guys with LEO experience but guys from the SOF community have some serious down range experience with being in gun fights.

[@th3wacker88]

Ryan K. I feel that law enforcement or swat actually has more experience shooting cqb with pistols and shotguns. When the sof guys get trained they do alot with law enforcement fbi/dea/cia there kinda a jack of all trades but not the best at any of them

[@campsitez2355]

People don't walk out of the special forces living a life of competitive shooting for a reason. They aren't good enough and that's reason enough to simply not listen to them at all unless your life is under immediate danger, in which case any information is better than nothing... so excluding the unreasonable case, we find no reason to listen to cigar smoking douches who appear on gun channels that also happen to have videos of a drug addict in their videos.

[@campsitez2355]

tag1out Actually they haven't proven anything. Not even in their videos do they reveal targets. Contrary to popular belief, it isn't ok to lie on the internet. Some people still do that. So please, explain why there are zero targets reviewed here? That's lying by omission. Go look it up, you just learned something. The next thing is they're seen shooting at 7 yards, targets are still horrible but they aren't at a relevant enough distance to demonstrate proficiency with a pistol whatsoever. Secondly, the military is notorious for undertraining people. Why else would they view all pistols as "pretty much the same"? It's because their training is "pretty much the same" for all levels of shooters. Self-explanatory but not obvious to someone who can't shoot. You doubted me, therefore you don't shoot. I don't tend to discuss these kinds of things with people like you who don't shoot. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[@pitbull82]

+campsite a Who is the "drug addict" in one of his videos? Just curious.

[@campsitez2355]

Pitbull82 Why don't you look through panteo productions videos and see if you can spot the professional wrester doing videos for them.

[@pitbull82]

campsite a Ahh. I don't have that kind of time right now, but I definitely will once I get the chance. If that and the drug addict thing is true, I may rethink whose videos I watch lol

[@campsitez2355]

Pitbull82 You bet you will !!!

[@MrChuckwagon55]

What model of Oakley's is he wearing? Anyone know?

[@RiflemanLEONE]

Oakley Valve. Have the same ones myself.

[@MrChuckwagon55]

+Rifleman114 - Thank you. Do you like them?

[@RiflemanLEONE]

Very comfortable, and good coverage.
