 People have PR-24s, the side-handle batons and stuff, baseball bats, again those are nice but even the police, a lot of guys I know don't even like them because you have to strike and they really aren't the best sticks, like to actually stick fight with. They only use them for pain compliance generally so they're hitting like muscle areas and stuff and if someone is, if there's a crazy guy with a knife and you'll see this if you see pictures or videos, there's a crazy guy with a knife and someone has a baton and they're trying to like knock the knife out of their hand or they have like a taser and they're pointing at them, there's always multiple other officers with their guns drawn at the bad guy so then they're trying to like take the guy out without having to kill him but if he makes a move they're all gonna have to unload with them and even then that's when they when the law enforcement officers will deploy these. They're only gonna use their taser if other people are right there with shotguns and handguns so if someone's coming at me with a knife I'm not gonna go let me zap them and hopefully they learn their lesson or let me pepper spray them and hopefully they can't see me for a second. So let's lethal force options really take it off the table for civilians because you're either defending yourself or you're getting out of there. So the next one is lethal force options. Now how many people carry a pocket knife? Where's your hand? Yeah I saw one last night there's four or five. Okay I like knives I'm a big fan of them but you guys have all heard that old saying don't bring a knife to a gunfight so I don't have to say it's the Indiana Jones scene where he shoots the guy with the sword. Do you guys know about that scene? Originally he trained for weeks and weeks and like months with the whip he was gonna like disarm the guy and everything but I guess he had food poisoning that week and he was like I can't do it and he's like he has a gun why is he fucking just shoot him and so I ended up using that scene. But anyways don't bring a knife to a gunfight but also don't bring a gun to a knife fight and this is stuff we used to teach really close quarters if I have a gun out all it takes is my gun going off a couple degrees and it's not gonna make contact it's not even gonna hit the guy but a knife up close can keep working keep work it doesn't run out of ammo doesn't malfunction it's not a jam it's a malfunction and up close there's definitely a lot of advantages to knives but I'm not gonna get a knife stuff on breaks if you guys want to talk any more about it we can right but the baton would be a better striking instrument and I don't even really want to do that so I prefer guns it's dirty here with his gun so I don't want anyone to answer necessarily who shot firearms or anything before but between the two of these this revolver and these are real pitchers too so this revolver right here or this big revolver which one do you think actually kicks more and actually we'll do like a raise of hands who here thinks the small one the black one if you shoot that gun that one's gonna kick more than the big one raise your hand okay now if we are shooting the large one who thinks that one's gonna kick more have more recoil one two three four okay actually easier both chambered in 38 special and 38 special is just a type of bullet it's for revolvers 38 special 357 magnums a bigger version of that these are both 38 specials that's it that's all they can shoot so if the small gun is shooting the same bullet as the big gun and that's actually the ankle gun I carry it's a titanium alloy nice small super lightweight one that's a five-shot J frame this is a full-size six or seven shot they both shoot the same bullet well that one's a lot lighter and every action has an opposite equal reaction so when you're shooting the gun explode the primer goes off and it's the powder shoots the bullet out the bullets also pushing back on you so if I have a lot more weight and mass to absorb it it's actually gonna kick less so there's a gun that almost looks exactly like this and it's silver and then there's a wood grip this is a nice soft rubber grip but there's like a real thin little wood grip on it and they call it a lady Smith and people would come in our gun range all the time girls and they go I want to buy a lady Smith because it's a lady Smith and I would go that fucking thing like isn't fun to shoot at all right that little gun back there that you got a blister on your thumb not fun to shoot lightweight ones like this like they hurt I had my ex-wife shoot that a couple times five shots of broader to tears because it hurts so much in her hand but it's a carry gun so you always got to balance it out so people would buy that little gun because like well I don't want a big one but kind of but if you're not going to carry it why not get something bigger which we'll get into more in a second but this is what happens is people who don't know anything about firearms end up feeling this like right to make laws about guns and telling other people who what they can and can't do with guns like in Arizona they recently changed the law to where you can take firearms into places that serve alcohol so restaurants bars stuff like that everyone's freaking out because they're like oh my god it's gonna be fucking crazy people are gonna go nuts and start shooting everyone well the people who already have that mindset are already going to be doing that stuff the people who follow the laws and aren't idiots aren't going to do that so everyone was a all it's gonna be horrible everyone's gonna be shooting up the place what happened a couple months ago nothing's happened at all and anyone who gets into gun stuff this is actually got me to like get into politics and stuff is just learning about how crazy and dumb so much of this gun stuff is like the high capacity gun mag ban which just one day they're like you can't have a mag in a semi-automatic gun that holds more than 10 bullets like who came up with that there's no data to back it up just someone pulled that number out of their ass and that went from 1994 to 2004 there's no data backing up had any effect whatsoever on it so then they let it sunset and it came back and everyone's like oh high capacity mags these are assault weapons and all this stuff AR's it's all horrible it came back none of the crime rate went back up or anything like that California and a couple other places still have the law to where you have to have a 10 round mag less bullets in your gun but again doesn't show anything and the bad guys can buy standard capacity mags not high cap mags they can buy it from other states and bring them back to California and carry them illegally when they're gonna rob people but only the good guys gonna go well shit I can't have a 13 round mag I gotta go buy a 10 round bag so my point with this is if you're gonna start making choices about firearms learn about it so at least have the knowledge to learn about it have the knowledge before you make a decision on it so how many guys have seen a gun like this either in a movie or real life an old school 1911 awesome gun they went out of a vogue for a while a lot of people said oh we don't like them and stuff but a lot of guys have actually been bringing them back I think LAPD SWAT was using them the Marine debt one detachment one Marsock unit they started going with the gun they had Kimber specially build one a lot of people are bringing these back these 1911's I'm not a big fan of them because it's an old school handgun where it's a metal grip with the grips actually screwed into it and the grip is what they call well the magazine is what they call a single stack mag where it's just one roll of bullets so this one could have like seven or eight rounds in it it's 45 ACP which is semi-automatic we'll have a bullet chart in a second but I just don't like it because it's real big and heavy and you don't get that many that much capacity with it it's also they call a single action gun you guys have ever seen the old cowboy movies where the guy would pull out his gun and shoot like this yes okay and you ever see it in the movie where they go click right that single action then so what they're doing is like this actually this hammers down right now if you inserted a magazine chambered around when the action slides back that hammer is going to get cocked so then is in single action mode what single action means is when I press the trigger straight to the rear that performs one function it drops the hammer down it forms one single function the round then exits the barrel it slides it chambers another round it kicks out the spin casing if you guys watch matrix all the cases can fly out that kicks out and it chambers another bullet and as it cycles it recocks the hammer so when this came out old-school cowboy guns you always had a cocky each time and then that last slide this one has a hammer on it right here now if I do this and actually have the gun in my hand in that position and I press the trigger to the rear it's actually going to pull the hammer back with it and then as it hits that certain point it's going to release it and it's going to fire and that would actually be called a double action trigger press if I pull the hammer back the trigger also goes back a little bit further and it goes like a 15 pound trigger press to like a two pound trigger pass press so a lot of people who aren't familiar with guns when they go out to the gun range they get it and they cock it up here which is very unsafe you only do it when you're on range and really I wouldn't do it at all that's why my revolver actually doesn't have a hammer on it at all it's double action all the time that way when I'm drawing it this hammer doesn't get snagged on anything maybe on the way out also if that hammer gets jammed up with anything the gun won't fire so that's why I like the revolver without it because it's one trigger pull it always works single action on the 1911 this one has a safety a lot of people are like oh certain guns don't have safeties glocks don't have safeties I'll get to in a second and they freak out but revolvers don't have safeties that was a new feature and it really came out with this gun because it would cock it's now in single action mode and basically it just took a real light press on that trigger for the hammer to come down so they came up with a grip safety that's right here that basically when you grip on the gun it disengages it and there's also a thumb safety sometimes it's on both sides where there's a little lever right here but it's actually on the opposite side of this and so when you carry a 1911 they call it carrying it cocked and locked which means chambered cocked hammer back but locked the safety on so then you had a train when you draw it out of the holster you have to disengage that safety as you're going on target it's okay it's not my favorite thing to do but that's a 1911 good gun go out to the gun range practice a whole bunch of different ones maybe this is the one you like Kimber Springfield Armory they make these really good stuff now this is a SIG also this could be an HK Beretta a bunch of other guns but this one falls into the double action single action category a little different than revolver what happens with this one is I insert a magazine I chamber the round and there's a lever on the other side that lets me sweep it with my thumb and it safely drops the hammer down without discharging the firearm what happens with this is my very first shot when I press the trigger to the rear it has to cock the hammer back it then releases it fires it then chambers the round all your follow-up shots now becomes single action so your very first trigger pulls double action all the follow-up shots are single action then when you're done shooting you have to decock it put it back in your holster the problem with this is people buy this gun and they don't practice that first shot because that first trigger press is really hard they cock it chamber it load it and they practice that at the range well in real life you might only get one shot off so you want to practice with what it is and then the mindset behind this too is instead of having good training where your fingers always off the trigger until you're ready to fire they came up with this idea of well let's make the trigger pull a little heavier so that way if the people are dumb and they're running around with their finger on the trigger it's not two pounds and it accidentally goes off it's like 12 pounds so it's a little bit harder to do your first shot but all your follow-up shots are easier
