Funny how self defense turns into it being necessary to have a gun. Which is probably the origin of you needing a gun to defend yourself against other people who have guns. Why not just given everyone c4 and nukes. Having guns so much more available does not make it safer. Your hobby is skewing your perspective just look at some data on the issue.
@tom132cairns Sadly... 21... though at least in the state I live in (VA) one of your parents can buy a pistol and gift it to you, so... you could buy one by just giving a parent the money and having them buy it for you.
@tom132cairns Well what state do you live dude ? Here in Texas, you have to be 21 to buy from a dealer BUT 18 to own a handgun , so you can buy in a private sale(from friends,seller,etc)
I bought a gun for the same reason I buy car and homeowner's insurance. The gun just my insurance policy for my most important possession - my family.
do you know where 80% of guns that criminals use get them from? from all these legal over armed gun users that get them stolen from them.mean while theses criminals are killing innocent people with stolen gun at a very high percentage. while the legal gun owners use there guns to save lives at a alerming low percentage (fact).guns are banned in china and there is hardly any crime,not even the cop carry guns there.its either china or japan.but just to show that the u.s. is doing something wrong..
@johnnyjm11 lets see the population statistics on britain, germany and italy then compare them, then lets look at the immigration problem we have, lets look at russia, their legal system sucks, just leave it there, japan, you can leave your wallet on the side walk in the middle of the day, then come back to it and it will still be there when you come back try doing that any where else, then china, we don't know how many people are in chinas prisons, we can't even take a guess
Long story short: thanks so much, sootch, for educating the public. I used to be a strong advocate for gun control. Now I'm a strong advocate for (my Glock 30!) self defense. Keep up the good work; long live the Republic.
I'm afraid for my friends and family who think nothing untoward can happen to them. Trouble doesn't have to "follow you" in order for it to find you and on a regular basis. In just the past 5 years I've been followed by a drunk man in a pickup for simply turning around in his driveway, there were 3 instances of trespassing (complete with starring in windows) at my grandparents' house, the house next door to mine was broken into, etc! And I live in a small rural community! It CAN happen to you.
scootch, you seem like a very chill guy, and i hope you can answer my question. I was told recently that all firearms are "ONLY" offensive tools, know i find this hard to believe, knowing that the shotgun under my bed is to be used if someone breaks into my house and threatens me, and those i care about. Know i can see what the person was getting at because YES you can use them offensively, but to say they that they cant be used as a defensive tool i find outrageous. Any thoughts on this?
My sister calls me paranoid when I get my gun before I go out my room... I call it prudent... Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Great video! Keep it up!
I am a canadian and we dont have the right to self defense but i can asure you that many guys i know will protect their family with their gun. imo all legal people should have the right to carry a gun
So he has a gun pointed at you, how's a gun gonna help you, if someone is robbing you or a store, is pulling a gun on them necessary and the safe choice, at home ok, in public it seems to just cause trouble
Sootch, in Australia its equal force, so if an intruder has nothing and i hit him in the head with a fry pan and kill him ill be going to jail. I own a Ruger 22/45 and a CZ .22 Rifle......Will be getting the new Ruger 77/357 bolt action next year. I always have a couple of thousand rounds to. Alot of people tell me im mad. While we are no where near as bad as America.....I worry.
@gshdrums you've got to be kidding or else you're extra paranoid,acouple thousand rounds? what army do you expect to go to war with.hopefully all those fire arms and amo you eventually collect before you die doesnt end up in the wrong hands.and you'll most likekly never end up firing a round for self devence while your alive.
It's funny because opponents of conceal carry rights will say "you don't need to carry a pistol, that kind of stuff doesn't happen around here" (I come from a peaceful suburban area) - but when something like that happens to you and the only thing standing between you and the bad guy is your pistol, no one can question the fact that you utilize your right to carry. Crime happens everywhere, and in the hands of disciplined, sensible, law-abiding citizens, firearms can be used to keep the peace.
I stoped a beating and possible murder with my pistol... I saw a man being beaten by 2 other mean at a 7-11. Nobody did anything or just honkeds their horns.. I was calling the police describing what was going on... One of the 2 men yelled "kill him" on reached into his pocket and thats when I pulled out my S&W and yelled at them to back off. They all ran when they saw a pistol. I put the pistol back police thanked me and I drove home. Was probably a drug deal that went bad but hey.
Where I'm from self defense is so hard because people like myself that are trained in self defence get it so hard because if after the incident if the attacker gets injured without injuring me I'm the one that gets sent to jail even minor bruises cause problems with the police and when your trained to defend yourself it is so hard to not too. the right to defend yourself is as you said one of the most basic rights but one of the least respected.
As far as I'm concerned, America's founding fathers had it exactly correct regarding the entire US Constitution. The 2nd A. is there to ensure the citizens may be able to defend their unalienable rights. These rights are a gift from the creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.
I am dutch.. we have some of the toughest gunlaws in the world. but I hope americans don't lose their right to arm themselves and stockpile ammunition. I think they want a new law here.. that all ammunition has to be kept at the range.. you can take your gun home..but have no ammunition at home.
I watch your vid and it shows me some people use guns responsibly. Honestly I think your country is too far gone with guns and I can see why you see it as a necessity. In my country we have the right to defend ourselves but we don't own guns and they are rare in home invasions. I'd feel I had a better chance with a bat or golf club against two burglars than if all three of us had a gun and started shooting.
you know, as much as i believe in owning a gun (and enjoy shooting) and preparedness, i don't think either of your examples support your case. in the first, the police did a great job. in the second, it was a property crime and a gun could have caused bigger problems. I'll probably get down voted for this, but as responsible gun owners, we all need to be careful about the "gun fantasy" that threats are everywhere and a gun is the way to solve them.
I am a Canadian Liberal, shown this by an American friend of mine.
I respect you good sir, whatever my own views politically, you are a good respectable person and you have made me think twice about the meaning of guns in the home.
@sootch00 too many crazies in the world to assume any place is "safe" within a 5 mile radius of my home there has been 3 murders in the last 12 months one was of a 9 year old child the other a double homicide of a father and son 2 different cases 3 bodies about 4 months apart in an area of michigan not used to that happening
Nice video! I would go one step further, talk about what you would do in case of an assualt. I mean if you are in a resturant what would you do if a robbery took place? Mentally prepare yourself, in a worst case scenario.
I completely agree with you, California gives more right to the guy invading my home than the homeowner, I feel this needs to change, if somebody comes in my home believe me he's not going to be alive after I'm done with him, I enjoy your videos, take care and God Bless.
Great video. It really made me think about why I own guns. Thanks for sharing. BTW, love the intro music. What is the title and can it be found on itunes? Thanks...
@RedRocketArms It's from Royaltyfreemusic which has a huge selection of non copyright music that you can purchase. It's not cheap but adds a lot to the video IMHO
I'd give my left nut to have a license to carry but here in California, that's not going to happen. You'd be shocked at how many people won't own a firearm here because they actually fear the legal repercussions of shooting a intruder more than their own safety. (no joke) I'm well armed within my residence and wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone that may pose a threat to my family. If need be, I'd gladly go to prison for knocking some SOB down if that were the cost to keep my wife and kids safe.
What I wouldnt give to have the kind of freedoms you have in the U.S.
The good honest people are disarmed while the wolves of society are armed anyway, despite the laws. Not a day goes by that I dont wish we had different laws...
In most cases law enforcement officers are reacting to crime already committed. I for one do not want them taping off my house as a crime scene, at least not with my household as victims. I try to be 100% armed all the time, and as proficient as possible with my sidearm.
Judges and lawyers have discovered that if they let the bad guys go then those same bad guys will be back in court very soon. Every court case means money for the judges and lawyers. Now do you understand what's going on in the world?
I'm from Illinois and I'm not guilty. (A little humor courtesy of our governors.) Anyway, several years ago there were five women murdered at a retail fabric store in Tinley Park, IL. The coward, a convicted felon out looking for drug money, decided to take on the ladies in this store and shot them in cold blood. Ever since then members of law enforcement recommended we at least carry a tactical knife because we aren't allowed a gun. I we were allowed, I think those ladies may have survived.
@shootinugli well, i live in Ilinois too.. we're alowed guns... just cant canceal and carry. If ou have a vaild FOID card then you can have it unloaded, and cased up in the trunk of your car. Though, that still wouldnt have saved those women. Theres a lot of pros and cons to letting people conceal and carry.
@roses4vampires I have a FOID and own guns. (I just bought one this week!) That's exactly my point, we (the common people) can't carry. There is a privileged class who can...if you read the law. Personally, I believe in equal treatment under the law. The citizens of Illinois should be allowed to carry and fully exercise our rights.
@shootinugli oh, I fully agree with you! Im not saying that we shouldnt be allowed to carry. and I looked up out state laws on it today after watching this video because I wanted to know. But I can see not allowing guns in hosptials, or prison visitations (obviously we dont want inmates trying to steal our guns). but there are still pros and cons into letting people conceal and carry, such as a con would be that they sometimes dont weed out the bad people that will do more harm than good.
Hey sootch00 it looks like you've been doing more tactical/moving shooting drills to keep your skills sharp, looks like your only getting better! Thanks for the reminder of getting to the range, sometimes it's just so hard to break away and spend an afternoon enjoying the hobby.
Hey UR right, im from Tijuana, Mexico, i watch always ur videos, and because I live in tijuana which in the border between USA & MEXICO i AGREE with u about having a self defense mechanism, and in this country(mexico) people cant even have a tactical knife because youll go to jail right away, and i believe guns are a necessasity, IF U USE THEM PROPERLY youll be good and safe, but in some countries its illegal all of this gun thing
When it comes to self defense laws and Germany is still a fascist country. I can't even use a rubber bullet shooting device. CS and Pepperspray are the only things left that can be effective. Even batons or a simple club are illegal to carry.
It seems that only in the south will you find Law Enforcement encourage you to own a firearm for self defense. I know I would never see that up north. That's why I moved down south, more common sense and more freedoms.
@xxxKenseIxxx That 7 meter distance is some cops getting together and getting some tests and taking the averages. Now I don't see that being something negative to go off or but there are going to be people much slower than that and then of course I know some professional shooters personally that could kill 5 people in that distance. All comes down to practice as everyone is different.
first unarm the population then control with fear and high taxes the government wont save you your on your own you have the right to self defence THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENCE use it or lose it and become slaves god bless
Crime rising can be seen from a number of angles, even from the angle of more and more disadvantaged people in an unfair world just trying to survive. I would defend myself or people I love from attack not dissimilarly from a bear defending his or her young. But I would urge people to try and understand where those carrying out immoral actions on others are coming from.
I found out a few days ago tht if u hav a licence 2 carry tht u can now carry anywhere in the country ECXEPT 4 washington dc and the state of illinois
@xXLEVERACTION78Xx It's in legislation now, heading to the senate after passing the house. It has not been passed so hold off until it passes and Obama signs it..... we'll see.
@sootch00 - The only thing we can hope for is that there will be enough people to override the veto, though it is not likely. This is all assuming that it'll get past the Senate.
I'm 19, going to college, and living at home. My dad won't let me own a gun because hes convinced that it makes you a target.
If someone breaks into the house and he owns a gun than they will kill everybody. If we don't own a gun than we just do whatever the criminals want and MAYBE we will live.
Sure, let the girls get raped. At least you can die knowing you did everything you could.
@Wabaanimkii Your dad's an idiot with his logic. You are a target if you let it be known you have a gun. Do not flaunt it. Conceal and use it for protection ONLY. Better yet, move out. I was never sheltered from guns as a child. I was trained how to use them.
@Wabaanimkii I know a few people that think the same way. I don't, or CAN'T understand that type of thinking. NO WAY am I going to lay down and not do anything and let some scumbag rape and murder my wife/daughter/family. No disrespect, but your dad has no backbone.
@Wabaanimkii Well, since it is his home you have to respect that I guess. As for myself and my home I feel that is very irresponsible because my role as a man is to provide for and keep my family safe. Another thing to remember is that many robbers are strung out on drugs at the time and many gang members have to kill somebody in order to get into the gang. I won't let my family be a victim. I pray nobody ever breaks into your home as violent crimes are on the rise. God bless.
@Wabaanimkii Do not listen to anyone who says anything against your father (especially that bullshit about him not having a back bone). There are many conflicting schools of thought on what makes people targets and I'm sure just having any kind of weapon is one of them. Self defence does not start and stop with gun ownership. Should a person decide that a gun is their best choice for themselves and their family then ongoing training with and without the weapon should be a mandatory commitment.
@Wabaanimkii yup, it's tough to convince people especially family sometimes that not all of man is good and decent. It's always, "It's never happened before, why should I worry now?" and "your just paranoid." Until of course, something really bad happens to them God forbid.
IN some specific situation may be ur dad was right , holding a gun in every situation doesn't makes u brave , but yes in some situation it makes you weaker and the reason to a trespasser to hurt you cause of saving himself and getting away, so you CAN become a target . People who invade homes are well prepared always more than the victims, remember that . I am not against owing a gun but using it in a wise manner.
@Wabaanimkii What are the odds of that happening ? Where do I live it doesn't happen that much so I would fear for my life and feel defenseless and insecure in the street. I feel like gun makes you weaker because you feel you can't defend yourself, I can defend myself by my own.
I was never too Concerned about concealed carry until the Hutaree incident. If there's still ignorant people out there blinded by faith than I'm a prime target.
You are right telling that in some country the simple act to protect your family against criminals can lead you to a prison. This normally happens in my country, Italy. This is emblematic: if a group of criminals enter my house and I shoot them with my gun, first my weapons (duly reported) will be seized, then I will receive a notice of investigation and if criminals did not shoot first (yes first) or worse, they had no firearms with them (am I a wizard?), I will be jailed and tried for murder
It's pretty much the same in Canada unfortunately... BS equal force laws. If I am being attacked or robbed, I would rather not have to interview my assailant(s) to determine whether I am to defend myself with my knife or my gun!
Another great video. As you said firearm ownership is not permitted to a lot of your watchers. Will you be doing a video anytime on your potential views and solutions for such a group and advice in a unarmed/ minimally armed scenario?
Here in Puerto Rico we have stupid colonial style gun laws...you need a license to buy and another to carry...it's crazy expensive and you have to renew every 5 years...why you may ask is it actually worth it??? 995 homicides this year alone. i think we have one of the highest rate per capita in the world...twice that of New York City!
Chaos is coming regardless of the current trend in crime statistics. Psychics can feel a change in the earth energy approaching. Most think it will start in Sept/Oct 2012. Logically (not psychically) would suspect martial law either in response to Occupy Wall Street or to repress rebellion caused by a government designed virus. No way the government can ever allow 911 to really be investigated.
Incidentally, violent crime has been on the decline since the late 1980s/early 1990s. Not that this detracts from your point at all--it still happens, and we still have the right to defend ourselves, and the responsibility to look out for one another whenever we can.
I wish cops were as polite as they are over there in Carolina. Here in Los Angeles they act like a gang and think they're the sh&t. Can't wait to leave this city !! I never carry my gun due to the police because they will see u as an immediate threat
I like to think of it as layers: I keep a Kahr CM9 in my pocket all the time, carry a Glock 19 IWB when I can and have my AR if needed. Nothing like a backup gun if the others fail or run out of ammo.
I 100% agree! I myself have been broken into 3 times and my truck once. What makes it even worse is it was a guy I was helping get back on his feet.....
I believe we have a right to defend our family, ourselves, neighbors..... Hopefully this summer I will get to put together a tactical course. That way ppl can train shoot while moving, laying, getting up, acquire the right target, stress situations.... That way we can not only have a gun but use it correctly.
@545Krinkify Yes I agree. The World would get calmer, more polite and crime would plummet. NO ONE would ever EVER think of snatching an elderly ladies pocketbook... They would be a fun target... Kind of like clay trap shooting, because, well... you just don't rob old ladies. We gotta get that point across tot he Wall Street dudes in charge of our 401K's.... Guns might help that too! ;)
The US has become a very hostile place & you guys are scared to death, it seems. How do you think a home invasion ends, when the owner is armed & the invaders recognize that? it's gotta get real messy & I bet the invaders show less respect to life than you do.To your point, that other countries don't allow armed self-defense: well maybe the citizens don't NEED to be armed to their teeth.I feel for you that you feel not safe,but maybe the root cause of the crimes should be addressed *unsubscribe*
Great video. Thanks. Probably already been said: I know it seems like the home invasions are really prevalent but I'm pretty sure that violent crime has been going down the last 10 years or so (at least until the last year that stats are available...about 1998-2008)...in no small part due to the CCW laws.
That being said...following English law while well and good for the English people, it isn't well and good for us. We are a peace loving people much like you...we just aren't afraid to fight for it. And that's what sootch00 is talking about.
@nosteratees...Thats true, we do have more crime than your country but we also have about 50 x the land than you have. I'm also compelled to mention the fact that you border absolutely no large drug producing country. You also don't have the immigration problems that we have here. Further more we have about the same amount of law enforcement as you with so much more land to cover (my state has 7 state troopers to cover the entire state at any given time).
this video made me think . you said u try to be armed all the time. what if ur in a place where u cant be armed? for example social security office? or gun free zones a court house? do u use improvised weapons or carry any way?
If you look at what is happening on TV you will see that there are now low level intensity riots happening in NY, Boston, LA, etc.. Things are NOT looking better and these will get worse. The picture is not pretty when the Islamic Countries, Greece and England are having riots. Buy a firearm and get professional training for everyone in the family where applicable. Being prepared costs nothing over the long haul. Not being prepared can cost everything.
I'm kinda torn here. In the UK we have limited rights to self defence and very limited access to guns and that annoys me. I believe that the 2nd amendment is what sets America and its citizens apart from Britain and its subjects. On the other hand I'm sitting here with my front door unlocked and I know that there's no chance that anyone's going to arrive at my door with a gun. Not sure who's got the best system really.
@XCritonX England might have a worse crime rate but it has 62,000,000 people living in an area the size of Oregon. That's causes friction and crime. Now go and take a look at the difference between the intentional homicide rates in England and the USA and you'll see that England's way lower per capita.
Given the fact, that getting a gun in the US is as hard as buying a pony, there are a lot of guns around, thus the social weak will have a lot of them too and will use them. So i would carry a gun, too. But where i live, it takes a good amount of work and money to get a gun (even illegally it is not as easy), so the chance of getting attacked with a gun is really low. In germany only 0.6% of all crimes involve guns, 80% of it are non violent crimes. (like dealing or carrying around).
All you need to do is pop open your local daily news and you can see every kind of crime imaginable. I agree.. it is our responsibility to defend ourselves. Please don’t get me wrong. I believe the police do a great job of stopping crime… where they are. That is the rub, they are seldom around. They will also do a good job of finding and convicting your killer.
Great video with great advice. I'm in the habit of carrying a primary and backup pistol everywhere I go, even around the house I wear one. I've also taught my wife some defensive shooting. The police are not able to protect everybody. They simply don't have the man power. Honestly, I'd rather not wait for them to show up and try to save me and my family.
People just don't seem to understand as a whole just how poor things may get when the unemployment extensions stop. A lot of otherwise "good" people may be forced to do things that they otherwise wouldn't do to feed and provide for their families and themselves.
If you happen to have what they need you need to think real hard about where they're going to take it from people, I'll help- it'll be from you.
A big AMEN to that brother!

As far as I'm concerned, America's founding fathers had it exactly correct regarding the entire US Constitution. The 2nd A. is there to ensure the citizens may be able to defend their unalienable rights. These rights are a gift from the creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.

I am dutch.. we have some of the toughest gunlaws in the world. but I hope americans don't lose their right to arm themselves and stockpile ammunition. I think they want a new law here.. that all ammunition has to be kept at the range.. you can take your gun home..but have no ammunition at home.

I watch your vid and it shows me some people use guns responsibly. Honestly I think your country is too far gone with guns and I can see why you see it as a necessity. In my country we have the right to defend ourselves but we don't own guns and they are rare in home invasions. I'd feel I had a better chance with a bat or golf club against two burglars than if all three of us had a gun and started shooting.

Grizzly907LA 2 months ago
you know, as much as i believe in owning a gun (and enjoy shooting) and preparedness, i don't think either of your examples support your case. in the first, the police did a great job. in the second, it was a property crime and a gun could have caused bigger problems. I'll probably get down voted for this, but as responsible gun owners, we all need to be careful about the "gun fantasy" that threats are everywhere and a gun is the way to solve them.

I'd give my left nut to have a license to carry but here in California, that's not going to happen. You'd be shocked at how many people won't own a firearm here because they actually fear the legal repercussions of shooting a intruder more than their own safety. (no joke) I'm well armed within my residence and wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone that may pose a threat to my family. If need be, I'd gladly go to prison for knocking some SOB down if that were the cost to keep my wife and kids safe.

I'm from Illinois and I'm not guilty. (A little humor courtesy of our governors.) Anyway, several years ago there were five women murdered at a retail fabric store in Tinley Park, IL. The coward, a convicted felon out looking for drug money, decided to take on the ladies in this store and shot them in cold blood. Ever since then members of law enforcement recommended we at least carry a tactical knife because we aren't allowed a gun. I we were allowed, I think those ladies may have survived.

True, self defense is a right.
Here in the Netherlands firearms, airsoft, blank guns and even knifes with a 2+ inch blade are illegal.
You can own a firearm if you get yourself a permit which requires atleast a year of training.
The costs of both ammo and guns are high about 6x as expensive.
Guns are stored in the range's vault and only if you have you're permit for several years you are allow to keep both weapon and ammo securly at home.

@Wabaanimkii Do not listen to anyone who says anything against your father (especially that bullshit about him not having a back bone). There are many conflicting schools of thought on what makes people targets and I'm sure just having any kind of weapon is one of them. Self defence does not start and stop with gun ownership. Should a person decide that a gun is their best choice for themselves and their family then ongoing training with and without the weapon should be a mandatory commitment.

Given the fact, that getting a gun in the US is as hard as buying a pony, there are a lot of guns around, thus the social weak will have a lot of them too and will use them. So i would carry a gun, too. But where i live, it takes a good amount of work and money to get a gun (even illegally it is not as easy), so the chance of getting attacked with a gun is really low. In germany only 0.6% of all crimes involve guns, 80% of it are non violent crimes. (like dealing or carrying around).
