Man you're cracking me up. Go Tom GO! Yall listen to him.
Yes, egging a redneck's house does get you shot at. I know I threw 6 eggs. Providence smiled and the deputies did not pursue it. That was almost 3 decades ago. Aint that way now.
what if your homeless and need to steel food or you will die one of my uncles who is in hes late forties now had to steel food as a teenager living on the streets were not all from middle class areas.
Now my record is clean and I can buy all the firearms I want. I know some people who weren't so lucky who got charged as adults as teenagers & there criminal records still remain. Dont take that chance
But see the funny part was the local cops knew I was under the age to own a pistol & I used to show them my pistols. But even that didn't keep me out of trouble with guns cause there was that one state cop that started it all & I can tell you, it wasn't with it carrying that glock that day. That mistake costed my freedom tilli was 19.
(continued) and around 2 1/2 years later my PO & a guy from a drug court program (I had to go to drug court, really sucked) went to do a home search 4 the 1st time & busted me with even more firearms, I did a bit of time, I had to go through a lot of crap that just took away all my time. I had no freedom
I got busted twice, once when I was 15 4 carrying a loaded glock 30 lol (I lived in a small country town so my patents bought me guns) I got 3 years 8 months probation & my 1st probation officer from a small city near by didn't care if i owned guns he just said not to keep them in my room but I still did & then my town got there own POs so my new one didn't let me so I told him I didn't own guns anymore
Hey I really enjoy your videos. How about in the future make a video talking about Illegal Aliens owning guns and the laws! Thanks keep up the good work!
I just hope some how my lawyer can turn this around because not only will i lose the rest of my guns and never be able to own again i will also have a felony and lose my job at the age of 24 Its a long life ahead to never own guns again.Thanks for the videos i love them keep them coming
Hey unless i missed it you forgot to say know the laws.I made a mistake here in CT when i bought my AR 15.The stock came pinned so i pulled the pins out thinking it was stupid i wanted it to move for some more comfort but little did i know that once the pins are removed it turns the gun in to an "assault rifle" so now im going to court and my latest offer was 1 year in jail and 3 years of probation only if i took the time to know my laws better.
god i remember when i was a young lad my parents were irish and if i ever had done anything wrong god i would have hand myself in but thats the problem there are parents that just dont give a shit and as for this thing with gang or the like like i said my parents are irish and i was born in ireland but where as i stayed on the straight and narrow my brother stayed in ireland and joined the IRA he was sadly killed 5 yrs after he left in front of his wife and children unarmed by british swat team

One thing I will like to add is be a all around good person; treat people nicely and it'll pay back. I recently got in trouble but my whole school administration talked the police out of arresting me. It's kinda like a karma effect. Be especially nice to those who talk on your behalf.
guilty as charged here!! well said by the way. I did stupid things growing up and it was exactly that stupid!! nothing to seriouse though not like the things kids are doing now it seems like every generation is getting a little bit more extreme in things they do.
It's true that it's easy to screw up your life these days. If that happened now, you would probably still be dealing with lawyers, trying to prove that you weren't actually going to rob those condos. I heard about this guy who wrote a comment on facebook that was a quote from "fightclub" about the AR10 and he had to deal with cops and lawyers for a matter of years proving he wasn't some terrorists.
Great advice... I am really beginning to love your channel. You stand out from the other gun channels by using your real life experience, and good advice....You are a true winner...
You were "hog tied" on a freeway?? The entire I-95 was shut down...wow, I've got to see the police report for this one! Do you have a copy? I know I can go on an archive site and get it...there must have been a dozen reports done for that incident...what year was it, Tom??
I'm 21 and I've gotten in trouble twice. First time I had just turned 18, stupid decision all is forgotten. Second time I'm still in trouble and I will have a permanent record luckily in the future when I mature from stupidity if I feel the need to get a gun to protect myself I will. Great video Tom, I'm VERY lucky I have a 3rd chance, if I had gotten in trouble with drugs, a felony, or violent misdemeanor my rights would be gone permanently & I'd be SOL
Gun safety fail @6:09 for the cops. I'm 14 and hoping to more guns in the future and all my gun buddies and i SOMEHOW manage to stay outaa trouble (sarcasm).
good advise Tom, yet at the same time I give law enforcement the same respect they give me. just as long as they dont screw up just like anyone else, what scares me about them is if they do screw up like i once saw a video where a male cop handcuffed THEN tazers a female civilian thats what i mean by them screwing up. otherwise if cops dont do stuff like that im perfectly fine with them just dont screw up like the rest of us
What I like about this video and another couple of videos I have watched on this channel is the honesty and the clear and genuine attempt to convey important principles to your viewers, particularly those who wish to exercise their full 2nd Amendment rights. Well done Tom. I do think that there is a period, as you say, where you think that nothing can happen to mess up your future... It can.
thats fort lauderdale to the T! It's a bit annoying actually, yes im sure police deal with alot of bs but they also put law abiding citizens in the same category nearly constantly. I have have tons of these stories about fort laudy. good vid. tho maybe ill see you at range haha
Good on ya. Consequential thinking is very important these days. Learn from others mistakes and don't commit one yourself! Too bad many bad things happen to some and not to others. If you're the type that can't get away with anything as a child. (Like me) Don't do anything you'll regret as an adult. Wrong place wrong time wrong age wrong race. Just be good it's well worth it in the long run. Thanks for the videos.
@REVALG Nice to see I'm not the only comenter on youtube spreading the word. If folks would get their hearts right with God and stop dabling in meanness this would be a lot better place.
Wise vid 2 make Tom.Today's generation isn't maturely there.Wat bein 20 back then is alot different from todays idea of maturity.It is the media,parents & all kinds of factors y young teenagers,young adults & even adults make stupid decisions.I agree entirely wit wat u said & alot of the fellow youtubers that r my age physically & mentally bout todays maturity.Wat u put into life is wat u get back,work hard & do things the right way there won't b major problems.I am 20,wit the age maturity of 27
@weaponseducation Thank you Tom, and for your consistent videos. I have learned a lot from life in so little time. The truth is out there, it's just about waking up and enlightening yourself with intergrity. Thank you for the great vid
Hey man great video. Wish more people my age (18) would follow a strait edge life style. No drinking smoking or drugs cuz I realize doing any of that and I'll never be able to get a job in law enforcement myself. People need to stay strong and realize how little in life you'll get from crime and how far ahead the just life will take you. Thanks alot for all the vids
my generation is very stupid today am 2 years older than copperjarhead i was lucky enough to learn those lessons at a young age because of my mom and some other decisions some family members made with gangs i did learn a lot from them this is a good video tom thanks for posting this generation needs to learn there are no second chances for stupid decisions
Because 10, 20, 30 years from now, no one is gonna care what you did to make yourself look cool to your homies, or your girls. I have done some stupid shit in the past 2 years. I have learned. Take your life seriously and stop dickin around. You get NO do-overs. NO handouts. NO breaks.
Speeding and just out right reckless driving is a HUGE problem where I live. I was driving on a 65MPH highway four lane. I look to see who is passing me at a high rate of speed. It's some girl TEXTING! I sped up to her speed which was about 87MPH, I watched this chick send 3 txt msgs. During that time she never looked up more than a second to correct her wheel. I quickly dropped down to 60MPH, so I wouldn't crash into her if she tossed it away. God please keep us safe from oxymorons!
"If you have an arrest, on your record, your done" An arrest doesnt mean shit really. Its convictions that screw you, and even then it depends on the conviction. Ive been arrested, I own guns. Some things are worth getting arrested for. Constitutional laws I would never break. Some laws are ridiculous, and just plain wrong.
I agree wit Brutalmetalrmosher get into marital arts it not only blows steam but you learn how to defend yourself and use a weapon as a last resort. One law I have nerver been clear on is that you are not supposef to carry your concesl weaspon 20 ft near a bar but a LE told me its OK as long as you are not drinking; with bars in practicaly every dinery what is the law really do you know?
@weaponseducation you might want to make another video about the difference between being arrested and being convicted. Police can arrest you all day long if they feel like it but if you are not convicted of anything then you can still get a gun.
@Chriznak Actually, if you are under indictment or if you have a restraining order against you I believe that disbars you from being able to have a firearm too.
I made some mistakes as a teenager, and although they dont stop me from having a concealed weapons permit, it has always been a less than comfortable conversation when I have been interviewed by the police when I apply for the permit in a new town/city. If you have appeared in court for a charge, you have to list it on the permit application and usually get asked what happened...
Great information Tom, it happens every day and you are correct. Although I think the rules are to harsh for many of these victimless petty crimes and it's just another way to steal away our 2nd ammendment rights from otherwise good Law Abiding Citizens
The sad part is that most people here in the U.S. truly believe that you lose your second amendment because of these small infractions. These are corporate rules.and police OFFICERS are corporate officers no more. Until the American people wise up they will always be enslaved.
one thing i would say is particularly young angry guys like i have been in the past, sometimes i just wanted to go out and get into a fight, but i never did because i didn't want to get arrested and have violent crime on my record for the rest of my life, so instead i have dabbled in various martial arts wich has really taken away my anger and improved my physical fitness,
so if anyone wants to get into fights i would advise training in martial arts instead to maintain your rights
Its crazy how things could come about but I know the only people that deserve to be in jail or prison are the violent people that are rapist, murderers, pedophiles, wife beaters, and anything else that a person could do that is violent but one should not be arrested for the materials that they put in their body unless they commit a violent action in which jails and prisons were designed for, not for the people that use other materials besides alcohol and tobacco. Ron Paul 2012
I surprised you didn't try to shoot your way out of that mess. :D Jesh, all that for a call of a guy with a gun in his car? I wonder how much that cost the Florida tax payers. I would love to hear that 911 call to see what that man said to them to cause such a reaction.
I believe you but its hard to believe they would go to that extreme. Here's an example of reasonable police response: At a family get together several of our teens were horsing around outside. They had duct-taped one 14 year old from neck to toe and he was hobbling around. A neighbor called the police claiming there was a gang fight. 4 cruisers pulled up from both directions. There isn't a gang fight is there? they asked calmly at seeing the comical sight. No over-the-top strong-arm tactics.
This video is excellent. I will subscribe from now on. Im one of Petes followers and ive seen you with Pete several times. You seem very succesful in life (money and familjwise) and i know you must have worked to get there. You have very good taste in firearms, very similar to me.
Excellent topic Tom !! There are so many ways now that a simple mistake could cause a man or woman to loose their privellage to enjoy our sport,collecting,hunting,shooting ,even carrying a blade.Thanks Bro Great Video :~)
One word to the young lads. DON'T USE THE EVIL CREDIT CARD! I admit I got into trouble and thank god I was able to get out of it but a few of my buds ruined their credit by maxing out credit cards and buying things they can not afford. People I knew got into bar fights because they want to be the bigger man, ruined life even if its from 12yrs ago. domestic disputes - think before you act! I'm glad to say I've never had any run ins with the law nor done anything stupid. think before you act!
I respect LEOs and the laws, how ever your story Tom is a fine example of how law emforcement should take a chill pill! You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law (saying this means they should not have treated you as a criminal, hog tied you, or even pointed their deadly firearm at you) every situation is different bit law enforcement should change the mindset of everyone is guilty and out to get them!
My dad taught me the rule of the three stupids, and that has kept me criminal record clean to my current age of 42. Don't go STUPID places, hang out with STUPID people, or do STUPID things. Keep to those three rules and you should be fine. good video Tom, See you Tuesday.
Is that a new eagle behind your right shoulder? I don't think parking in the wrong spot was the problem but having the gun under the car seat is a little sketchy.
I wonder, after receiving 911 call- from some old guy about parking in wrong spot (even if "I think I saw a gun inside officer") they didn't check car owner's records, background, CCW permit in computer, they didn't send patrol to this house to check it, they closed this road, send a SWAT team, barricade road to catch two terrorists with clean records, never arrested before, going to a club to have fun. Excellent job LA, they almost improved statistics for this year
In my teenage years, I acted a fool. Fighting, drinking/drug use and everything else because I though it was fun. I am only twenty-two and already I can't believe the stupid risks I took not knowing how much I had to loose. I am graduating from UCLA this spring and I'm very excited to purse my career. I go out shooting with my dad as much as possible and my gun collection is growing. I'm happier now then ever!
..and to think, if those risks had gone wrong I may have lost so much of what I enjoy
I am a security officer and I work with this idiot who wants to be a cop. This guy is like 26 and he once got a felony stop, they shut the street down and had guns pointed at him for wearing camo, ski mask, listening to Arabic music, and he had his AK paintball gun and was showing it off so someone called him in. He recently got a DUI, he lost his license, he can't drive and he also lost his conceal handgun license. THIS GUY IS TRYING TO BE A COP! he is very immature and makes us look bad.
Great idea in general. Then you hit the bumps in that plan. The corrupt cops and d.a.'s out there that railroad you into jail. Then you get to spend the next many years of your life fighting back.
don't mouth off to cops. dont use credit cards. dont fall in love at 18. work hard. dont vote democrat. never drive drunk. always respect your firearms.
I agree with what you're saying but I think cops have way to much power here in America and abuse their power. I would share your respect for law enforcement but I don't for that reason.
GREAT VIDEO ............ I HAVE ALWAYS loved guns as a kid and knew when I was old enough to own guns that I would, I always knew that I had to be smart as a kid/teenager, so get job on the video Tom good subject matter !!
Tom, excellent theme for this video. In Australia many small felonies or crimes prohibit us from travel to the states (even as minor as shop lifting, although I do not support such illegal activities). The moral of the story Kids is regardless of whether you support such laws or not, a mistake in your youth will have life long ramifications. Think before you act, your life will be better off for it.
NO, you dont deserve every thing that happens because "the law" decides it. If someone decides to get a gun illegally I support them; dont care who disagrees. I hove the rite to protect myself and others and yes, I will do so. If I get busted once in my life for sumthing that is ether not my fault or sum crap that should not be illegal in the first place I refuse give up my rites to "authority", no apologies. however anyone that shops at Abicrombie and Fitch should not have any rites.
I'm only 18 but I agree with everything you are say kids now days do the stupids things I stay away from those people because I want to go in to law enforcement one day and I don't want some one else doing something stupid around me and ruining my chances of every being a police officer
Great vid Tom. I see this all the time. One arrest and peoples lives are never the same. They get arrested once, then a few months later & story is they lost their job after the first arrest, couldn't find another & were desperate & the cycle starts. Working at the jail It's the ones that don't get out of the system that stand out to me but even those that do get out of the system, that 1 arrest haunts them forever. We even had an employee fired over a 30 yr old shoplift arrest.
@Indogyearsimdead I don't agree, with over 2 million different laws on the books ,many un-constitutional it's easy to get caught up and find yourself in a mess
True words my friend, I am lucky because I wasnt the brightest kid or teen, I did my fair share of dumb things that could have ruined my life. Lucky for me I figured out that I was not on the path I should be on and now i can say with 100% truth that your desitions that are made as a child will afffect in some way your future. It took me 6 years to get my credit straight because of bad choices made during college. Thanks for the great vods Tom, God bless.
I am not a cop but I applying to become one. I have to say that this was overkill for law enforcement. A swat team was dispatched? They got a phone call from an old man, claiming to see a gun and that equals you two were going to rob the apartment complex? One officer would have been enough for a traffic stop. Did you exit the vehicle after the fact and go back into the condo?
u make a good point but just because you get arrested doesnt mean you cant buy a gun..... you cant buy a gun if you get convicted of a felony and i think some misdemeanors as well.
Anyone who does have a record similiar to what was mentioned in this video like stealing some jeans 15 years ago should hire a lawyer and try to get that expunged from your record. Once something is expunged from your record it is as if the crime never happened. They will not expunge a DWI for at least 20 years but a simple assault or other low level crime from over a decade will usually get expunged. Judges used to be Lawyers so you NEED to hire a lawyer in order to do this.
Man, I am not a criminal but I recognize that my "world" is way different than those in the law enforcement "world" and it is a disadvantage. I feel as if something does come up and I try to explain (even though I am a good person) they will not listen or understand and they will just be harsh. Crazy world huh?
Always question the law. Most cops will BREAK the LAW! I call BS....So how does having bad credit effect gun ownership? You CAN have an arrest record and own a gun. IF YOU ARE CONVICTED OF A FELONY YOU CAN'T........This is like telling a 18 old kid not to apply for a gov job because of an arrest record....BS. I see a number of people not even try because they thought they could not get a clearance BS.
Drag racing. It was the thing to do, hit the cruise in the '68 and see who would race me. Nothing else had a hold on me, just fast cars. Loved working on them, racing them. It was the reason I got that first job moving pipe at 12. So glad I didn't screw up my life with it. I sold my '68 at a huge loss the year I found out I would be a dad. What I told my son was that there is a lot that seems terribly important to you now that will seem so silly later in life...don't risk your future on them.
you are %100 right. I will be out of debt within 6 months with my CCs. I owed over 20+ thousand. I didn't ruin my credit by filing bankruptcy. I worked hard to consolidate them into 1 payment. All because I thought as a kid that CCs were free money.
I was taught if you dig your own hole then it's your responsibility to fill that hole back in. I called it the 5 year plan. Now if I want a gun I put back the money
The point I think that Tom is making is Watch Out Out There. A mistake can take on a life of it's own and it will get ugly, especially if you are young and mistaken for a criminal. Watch yourself and be aware.
It is pretty much up to the state that you live in and the political reality of that sate. It is getting easier to get a concealed permit in my state. But it is like anything in the US. Taxes and Uncle Sam and the state resources and revenue's. They all want a piece of the pie, if you want your's then you pay and hop through the loop's and crawl up ladders. In my state they make you retrain every three years to re-authorize your permit. In some ways that is a good idea anyway.
How about explaining if the 2nd amendment states your right to bear arms shall not be infringed and you have a good record why do you have to get a "license" or a permit?
@ljrow49 In most states you don't need a license to bear arms, you only need a license to conceal that firearm, most states are open carry states and don't require you to have a license for example my state in PA, you don't need a license to carry openly in PA only to conceal on your person or in a vehicle. You can also have a gun in your home or place of business without a permit. Needing a permit varies state to state, not saying its right I think its ridiculous too. its the damn democrats.
I agree completely, Don't do anything stupid is a good philosophy. The worst thing someone would find me doing is carrying a knife bigger than I should. I dont understand why people my age steal and do dumb shit. I live in Hollywood Tom, so that is part of the reason I carry a bigger knife. it has been a deterrent for me in a situation that could have been bad. (cold steel XL espada I was carrying for about 6 months now I'm carrying an XL voyager)
When your young, think about what you want to do when you grow up and what you have to do to achieve that goal, don't let bad friends get in your way and try and make you be "cool" by doing something you know you shouldn't be doing. Be the "pussy" turn away from trouble, no matter what your friends say your not a "pussy" your stronger than they are, it takes strength to turn away from the bad, its easy to do bad, but hard to do good.
I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT HOW IT WILL AFFECT ME , I LIVE IN THE HOOD , ALLOT OF SHOOTING , THEIR WAS JST 1 3 DAYS AGO I HEARD 9-10 GUNSHOTS ,CRAZY, IM TRYING TO GET MY GED ALREADY AND GO TO COLLEGE !
I have seen some police officers that do not argue verry long. Depends on the cop and the jurisdiction. We want them to come down hard on criminals and yet to bow to our demands. It does not work both ways all of the time.Keep your head on and above the mess, Be the sober driver, be the shepherd to those you care for and don't stick your nose too far in other peoples crap unless you want to own some of it, get stuck with it or just get the blame for it. Shit happens, be careful.
For the kids and adults..... Live to impress yourself, don't worry about impressing others, its your life not theirs, what do your friends care if you screw up your life in 5-10 years you won't even be friends with that person anymore because you'll realize their no good for you and by then your life will already be screwed up because of the choices you made trying to impress them. I've been there done that we all have, don't learn the hard way learn the easy way!!!!
Our law is the US Constitution, a document that law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold and to protect, including the Bill of Rights, Laws that are passed by our illegitimate Congress and President(s) that don't adhere to the US Constitution are not "law" and are null and void and to be ignored. I've seen law enforcement act against our basic Rights and Law. Are we supposed to listen to an officer that is breaking the law? I should think not.
Every time us law abiding citizens purchase a firearm, we pay a tax to the pederal government. That money is used to administer the background checks that go into tracking and keeping firearms out of criminals hands through legal channels. When your friend broke his concealment and showed his gun, he exposed you to the possibility that the police could shoot you mistakenly. It happens. Kid's and anyone else need to know, the police will at times use extreme force and ask questions later
@harpoclarx You are correct. They stopped 95 on suspicion that we were bad guys, they stated later "you drove through some bad neighborhoods going to 95" "we are sorry, we were on a hunch"
@weaponseducation Yeah. been there. Nothing like seeing a big Glock from the wrong end! Definitely leaves an impression. Worst feeling was once we were shot at by hoodlums for being white on the wrong side of town. After dealing with that, I am glad there are cops that get to nail their asses and am willing to put up with some crap in order to get them off of the streets. I also am verry happy to take care of some of that by my own means if neccessary thanks to the 2nd Ammendment. R n' R.
You're a good man for taking the time to make this video. I'm 28 and have my Texas carry permit. Lord knows I did some stupid crap when I was younger....I saw a lot of people I knew get busted...They still can't get good jobs. Don't do it young people, it's not worth it. Better to be "uncool" in all these idiots eyes, than be cool, and mess up your life like they will.
Hey Tom it's Adam, was talking to you earlier on the phone. Great job on the video. I'm just grateful that my county has this thing call ARD where if you get into trouble for non-violent crimes and your a 1 time offender than you can get a second chance and have your record expunged when you complete the program, I completed the program and my record is in the process of being expunged so I will be able to purchase a firearm when its finished.
#1 = Assuming all adult's will look the other way or be intimidated by a punk into not paying attention to something that they know is a problem or potential problem. Once you are 18, the kid gloves are off kid, like it or not!
Holy Moly, throwing eggs on Halloween use to be our Halloween Tradition some 25+ years ago! Junior High vs. High School kids throwing eggs at eachother on the streets of Los Angeles LOL! Oh, those were the days... Now a days, kids are much more violent and their idea of having fun can become deadly! Oh boy, the how times change.
Man you're cracking me up. Go Tom GO! Yall listen to him.
Yes, egging a redneck's house does get you shot at. I know I threw 6 eggs. Providence smiled and the deputies did not pursue it. That was almost 3 decades ago. Aint that way now.

It's true that it's easy to screw up your life these days. If that happened now, you would probably still be dealing with lawyers, trying to prove that you weren't actually going to rob those condos. I heard about this guy who wrote a comment on facebook that was a quote from "fightclub" about the AR10 and he had to deal with cops and lawyers for a matter of years proving he wasn't some terrorists.

Second time I'm still in trouble and I will have a permanent record luckily in the future when I mature from stupidity if I feel the need to get a gun to protect myself I will. Great video Tom, I'm VERY lucky I have a 3rd chance, if I had gotten in trouble with drugs, a felony, or violent misdemeanor my rights would be gone permanently & I'd be SOL

I made some mistakes as a teenager, and although they dont stop me from having a concealed weapons permit, it has always been a less than comfortable conversation when I have been interviewed by the police when I apply for the permit in a new town/city. If you have appeared in court for a charge, you have to list it on the permit application and usually get asked what happened...

one thing i would say is particularly young angry guys like i have been in the past, sometimes i just wanted to go out and get into a fight, but i never did because i didn't want to get arrested and have violent crime on my record for the rest of my life, so instead i have dabbled in various martial arts wich has really taken away my anger and improved my physical fitness,
so if anyone wants to get into fights i would advise training in martial arts instead to maintain your rights

I believe you but its hard to believe they would go to that extreme. Here's an example of reasonable police response: At a family get together several of our teens were horsing around outside. They had duct-taped one 14 year old from neck to toe and he was hobbling around. A neighbor called the police claiming there was a gang fight. 4 cruisers pulled up from both directions. There isn't a gang fight is there? they asked calmly at seeing the comical sight. No over-the-top strong-arm tactics.

Anyone who does have a record similiar to what was mentioned in this video like stealing some jeans 15 years ago should hire a lawyer and try to get that expunged from your record. Once something is expunged from your record it is as if the crime never happened. They will not expunge a DWI for at least 20 years but a simple assault or other low level crime from over a decade will usually get expunged. Judges used to be Lawyers so you NEED to hire a lawyer in order to do this.

Drag racing. It was the thing to do, hit the cruise in the '68 and see who would race me. Nothing else had a hold on me, just fast cars. Loved working on them, racing them. It was the reason I got that first job moving pipe at 12. So glad I didn't screw up my life with it. I sold my '68 at a huge loss the year I found out I would be a dad. What I told my son was that there is a lot that seems terribly important to you now that will seem so silly later in life...don't risk your future on them.

It is pretty much up to the state that you live in and the political reality of that sate. It is getting easier to get a concealed permit in my state. But it is like anything in the US.

@ljrow49 In most states you don't need a license to bear arms, you only need a license to conceal that firearm, most states are open carry states and don't require you to have a license for example my state in PA, you don't need a license to carry openly in PA only to conceal on your person or in a vehicle. You can also have a gun in your home or place of business without a permit. Needing a permit varies state to state, not saying its right I think its ridiculous too. its the damn democrats.

When your young, think about what you want to do when you grow up and what you have to do to achieve that goal, don't let bad friends get in your way and try and make you be "cool" by doing something you know you shouldn't be doing. Be the "pussy" turn away from trouble, no matter what your friends say your not a "pussy" your stronger than they are, it takes strength to turn away from the bad, its easy to do bad, but hard to do good.

I have seen some police officers that do not argue verry long. Depends on the cop and the jurisdiction. We want them to come down hard on criminals and yet to bow to our demands. It does not work both ways all of the time.Keep your head on and above the mess, Be the sober driver, be the shepherd to those you care for and don't stick your nose too far in other peoples crap unless you want to own some of it, get stuck with it or just get the blame for it. Shit happens, be careful.

For the kids and adults..... Live to impress yourself, don't worry about impressing others, its your life not theirs, what do your friends care if you screw up your life in 5-10 years you won't even be friends with that person anymore because you'll realize their no good for you and by then your life will already be screwed up because of the choices you made trying to impress them. I've been there done that we all have, don't learn the hard way learn the easy way!!!!

Sounds like a total over reaction by the cops. What a waste of taxpayer resources.

Our law is the US Constitution, a document that law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold and to protect, including the Bill of Rights, Laws that are passed by our illegitimate Congress and President(s) that don't adhere to the US Constitution are not "law" and are null and void and to be ignored. I've seen law enforcement act against our basic Rights and Law. Are we supposed to listen to an officer that is breaking the law? I should think not.

Excellent common sense advice. Everyone makes mistakes but some make that a lifestyle. Repetition gets a lot of youngsters into bad situations.

Every time us law abiding citizens purchase a firearm, we pay a tax to the pederal government. That money is used to administer the background checks that go into tracking and keeping firearms out of criminals hands through legal channels. When your friend broke his concealment and showed his gun, he exposed you to the possibility that the police could shoot you mistakenly. It happens. Kid's and anyone else need to know, the police will at times use extreme force and ask questions later

@harpoclarx You are correct. They stopped 95 on suspicion that we were bad guys, they stated later "you drove through some bad neighborhoods going to 95" "we are sorry, we were on a hunch"

@weaponseducation Yeah. been there. Nothing like seeing a big Glock from the wrong end! Definitely leaves an impression. Worst feeling was once we were shot at by hoodlums for being white on the wrong side of town. After dealing with that, I am glad there are cops that get to nail their asses and am willing to put up with some crap in order to get them off of the streets. I also am verry happy to take care of some of that by my own means if neccessary thanks to the 2nd Ammendment. R n' R.

You're a good man for taking the time to make this video. I'm 28 and have my Texas carry permit. Lord knows I did some stupid crap when I was younger....I saw a lot of people I knew get busted...They still can't get good jobs. Don't do it young people, it's not worth it. Better to be "uncool" in all these idiots eyes, than be cool, and mess up your life like they will.

Hey Tom it's Adam, was talking to you earlier on the phone. Great job on the video. I'm just grateful that my county has this thing call ARD where if you get into trouble for non-violent crimes and your a 1 time offender than you can get a second chance and have your record expunged when you complete the program, I completed the program and my record is in the process of being expunged so I will be able to purchase a firearm when its finished.

Holy Moly, throwing eggs on Halloween use to be our Halloween Tradition some 25+ years ago! Junior High vs. High School kids throwing eggs at eachother on the streets of Los Angeles LOL! Oh, those were the days... Now a days, kids are much more violent and their idea of having fun can become deadly! Oh boy, the how times change.
