“Putting themselves in a situation where they have to shoot at all.” When basically every seasoned, trained gunfighter out there tells you “Avoid a gunfight at all costs”, it’s probably a good idea. Even Wyatt Earp himself wrote about the stupidity of getting into avoidable gunfights over a century ago.

Martial art masters have always been telling the same, too. A lot of men think the "tough guy" thing to do is never back off/down from a fight. It's not. Never pick a fight. Always try to avoid a fight. If you need to fight, fight to annihilate your opponent. If you like fighting for fun, go do boxing or mma.

He's right, though. They're not pistols - let's be honest with ourselves. They're SBRs. We should be taking the NFA to court about its constitutionality since it infringes on our rights and demands we pay a fee to exercise said rights.

As an Alaskan I was interested by Clint's comments about the 10mm. In fact, although it isn't rare here, it isn't as common as I thought it would be. The only active military unit in the world that uses the 10mm routinely is the Sirius Patrol of Greenland. They're more likely to encounter a polar bear or enraged musk ox than an enemy combatant. They're also the only active unit that uses the M1917 rifle -- a bolt-action WW1 firearm. They say it never fails to operate under harsh arctic conditions and they don't trust anything less powerful against a polar bear. Choosing the right firearm is all about your circumstances.

It's Greenland, no one has interest in invading that island because of how harsh the island is. A military garrison is more likely to see combat against wildlife.
@itsapittie
@itsapittie 3 жыл бұрын
@@Seriona1 you're right. The reason for the Sirius Patrol is that under the treaty that ceded Greenland to Denmark, one of the conditions is that they maintain a military presence. The dozen or so soldiers present on Greenland at any given time wouldn't represent much of an obstacle to a determined military force. In WW2, Greenland was a critical area because it was used as a base for weather observation and for aircraft patrols. Today the weather is observed by satellites and aircraft based in North America or Europe can patrol the entire Atlantic. If Greenland were invaded they'd have to rely on help from allies but I can't think of a reason any nation would want to invade Greenland.

smitty334 I can't speak for him, but the two biggest advantages I can think of is the ability to have a shorter overall gun (ex. something the size of a MP5 or Skorpion evo vs an AR w/ buffer tube and useful barrel length) and significantly lesser concussion. If neither of those is a consideration (like for Clint it seems) then there's little to no use for them tbh

I’m not sure the point of the brace. Is it just to get around the tax stamp? To make the law ridiculous in hopes of getting anti-gunners to give up? To me, it’s empowering the ATF because as a judge, you have to be an idiot not to see that it’s intended to violate the law as written.

Four time Thunder Ranch, TX student of Clint's. Meeting this man and his wife Heidi in person was a truly humbling experience. Going through the Terminator and the Tower with his instruction in the late '90s, early '00s are times I will never forget. And his one liners were priceless. "Cold? Wet? Tired? Nobody cares!" "Are you shooting fast or are you shooting good?!?" And of course everyone was carrying the entire time there, and the best advice was, "When you go to the bathroom, don't dick with your gun." So true.

@@johnd4348 I tired that after TSA was formed. Twice I've been pulled off to the side and been given their "Additional Screening". Twice I been held long enough to miss my flights. Seems I have one of those names that "Sounds Like". Half my life in law enforcement and Fed security and I get treated like that. Its not fun my friend.

@@blackhawkinternationalsecu6962 Well I use to fly quite often and I have had had additional screenings also. Its a random thing they do. Best thing to do is don/t stand out from the growd. And have your sh t in order. TSA hates people who have lots of stuff. If you act like a jerk they will pull you aside. Some airports are worse than others. Act like you fly often and no eye contact. I'm sure if you want to take one of Clints classes you will find away.

Love listening to Clint & can't beat his Words of Wisdom! Reminds me of the oldschool 'Nam Vets I knew back in NYC when I was a kid. Peace through superior firepower, no doubt! The M1 Bazooka hanging up in the background is bad ass. First firearm I fired was a 12 Gauge Remington with Slugs and 00 Buckshot, next was a .30-06 bolt action (that gave my step-father the dummy circle requiring 8 stitches), after a .30-30 Marlin lever action and lastly the .308 FN FAL. Earned the name "Dead Eye Dan" that day.

As a late 30’s average size dude with a Scandium frame S&W 360, listen to this man when he speaks of magnums in 13oz Jframes. It is brutal, an unfathomable feeling to touch off full house 357 mag, it’s like shaking hands with lightning, mine has .38+p 99.9% of the time. Follow up shots with full mag cartridges take about 23 min

@@seniortac4175 Clint would've been 37 during the firearms act (FOPA) of 1986 and 19 during the gun control act of 1968. Both are credited with handing over more control of firearms to the government. His generation falls directly into those years. The later generations allowed for further ATF issues but his was the beginning.

Interesting interview. With the deepest of respect...I think Clint has drank the "Fudd" cool-aid on the AR pistol situation with the "AFT" (quoting the President). And some day when I can afford to take one or more of his classes, I would/will say that to his face. Four things come to mind.....1) We didn't make the rules, but we are playing by them. ... 2) "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying." ... 3) There are no rules in a gun fight so use the item/items you think give you the greatest advantage. ... 4) "...shall not be infringed."

Fantastic video, Clint is amazing and truly a humble man...I love what he has to say about avoidance and using the fast pedal to get out of a situation instead of needing to use your truck gun! He's a truly great instructor and human being that has touched many people with his wisdom. Thank you for sharing and blessing us with his knowledge and personality!
