Wow, is he using a Blackhawk holster that has that retention lock on it? And he's drawing that fast? That's pretty darn impressive! And his reload times, well....now we know why he's doing the demonstration!
@sceptic300@sceptic300 The rest of the story is simple, legislation/bans are pointless and merely restrict the activities of law-abiding people. Criminals will always find a way to get what they need to do what they want to do, new laws and stricter penalties don't curtail criminal activity.
Goddamn! This guy really knows what he's talking about. I've had my Berretta for a while, and kept pulling to the side to much, quick change of grip like he said, and that helped a hell of a lot!
Read the comments, man. I've already apologized about the edits a couple of times! LOL. I'll be getting a real video camera instead of filming with my point-and-shoot to avoid this in the future.
Todd is great, but sadly, this particular video has way to many cuts in it. He gets cut off constantly as he is trying to make a point. I bet the unedited video is fantastic.
If you read the comments, you'll see the problem is I was filming from a point-and-shoot camera, not a camcorder. I just didn't have enough space on the memory card to run the whole time, and always managed to record and stop recording at the wrong moments. LOL. Oh well. Next year...
he was referring to the high capacity mag ban. he was making a point that it doesnt matter how many rounds a magazine holds if you have enough of them a reload takes no time. He meant that hed show up and reload 10 times almost as fast as another person could shoot that many times without reloading... negating any reason for a high capacity mag ban.
first let me start by saying thank you for the footage you did get. second if you can find a point and shoot where you don't have to hold the button and one with a minimum of 2gig @ like 6meg you should be able to get 20-30 min in max res and 40 + in a lower res. but of course an actual camcorder would be best. Jarret is a super nice guy. did you get a chance to speak with him at all ?
I did get to hang with him for a while. I just about have a nerdgasm at the beginning of the video when he asks me by name if I'll be filming. I left that in on purpose, just to "brag" a little. LOL.
I know, my memory card ran out of space. That's why I say I need to get a real camera next time! Believe me, the whole thing was great, and it kills me that I wasn't able to get it all.
Is there any way you could possibly upload the rest of the edited parts of this video by making a part 2? I found it to be very factual and very entertaining. I really wanted to hear what he was going to say about Congress. If you can't I appreciate you responding to my comment anyway.
OK, thank you and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for future videos of yours. Hey I like your stances as well on the Constitution(I watched your other videos). Would you happened to have ever watched Glenn Beck I think he might be right up your alley. He too like you is a libertarian who bases his principles and ideas on what our Constitution and our Founding Fathers said and did. He doesn't base them on what some of the political hacks say such as Barney Frank, Arlen Spectre, Nancy Pelosi, etc.
I only recently discovered Glenn Beck, but I like the guy a lot. I signed up in the 9/12 project, etc. I also like the fact that he holds people accountable regardless of party affiliation. We need more freedom-minded people in this country!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm actually really down on myself as far as quality and editing goes on this particular video, because Todd was SO awesome. There's just no way this captures it all. But I'll try to be better prepared in the future! ^_^
I carry a Para LDA Tac 4. It is by far the smoothest trigger I have used. Also check out the Canon Vixa HD camera. The prices are coming down, lightweight with great quality. A mono pod will help as well. Hopefully will be able to attend the 2010 meetings. ( I don't know if they will let Carl in though)
Awesome video! I guess you'll consider purchasing a better camera for events like this, huh? I think it's a wise investment, plus... I love your videos, and I think we need to see more! Thanks Eric.
Yeah... I had a hard time justifying the cost of an HD camera, Blu-Ray burners being expensive, family doesn't have 'em, etc. But with digital distribution, I'm thinking I may have to go ahead and do it... We'll see...
Aww, you cut off the part about Todd showing Congress how rediculous a 10 round mag limit is when you can reload in less than a second. Outstanding tips!
I missed lots of good stuff- the hazard of "filming" with a point and shoot camera instead of a legit video camera. My wee little 2GB SD card was almost maxed out!

I can't- unfortunately I was shooting with a point and click still camera. Most of what I "cut" was only about 3 minutes of non-essential stuff.
But I'll make sure they're better in the future!
