“So today, I’ll wear something a little more benign so I don’t panic those people” *Immediately cuts to a shot of Paul wearing his shooting jacket in the store anyway.* Absolutely based. Please never change.
You just gotta love that shooting jacket. You never know what Paul might pull out of one of those pockets. I honestly do not think most people know that he is wearing a shooting jacket.
I love the guy, with the cart, when Paul is behind the turkeys. He eventually sees the camera … processes what he is seeing … and then decides to turn away …
I wonder how many times the manager was called about a man recording himself in the grocery store. People do not know how to mind their business and everyone thinks that they own everything and it's their right to know everybody's business. Constantly complaining and whining about stuff that has nothing to do with them. I can only imagine how many times someone complained
Paul: to avoid freaking out the Karens, I’ll avoid wearing my shooting jacket in the store. Next shot: Paul wearing his shooting jacket in the store. :D
started laughing so hard at the poor dude at 3:33 I almost fell out of my chair. I still want to know what was going through his mind seeing Paul running in place
Paul. "I failed to make clear." Not likely. More likely is the watcher failed to comprehend Paul's message. Furthermore, anyone worried about Paul's wearing his jacket in the store is not worth wasting time on. Paul's annoyed mockery of that crowd is well deserved. As always another episode filled with common sense and practical knowledge.
@3:40 the man turns to left, sees Paul running quick like a bunny...the man turns his cart and heads elsewhere. LOL!!! You couldn't have written a better reaction!
Pro Tip: If you are an "Active Shooter", you will probably want to avoid the "old guy" wearing spit shined boots, tactical khakis, and a "Members Only" jacket from the 1970's. He will most likely kill you before you get a shot off........

Customers at the store: Huh, usually those RUclips folks are talking about how much fat and crap is in the food or how to get a thousand dollars worth of groceries for 3.50
Seeing a masked guy being filmed gesturing to frozen turkeys and pantomiming running certainly warrants moving away and observing from a distance. Either he is Paul and the store is the safest it has been since last weeks doughnut sale during PD shift change, or someone is about to splatter fake blood on people in the dairy isle before chaining themselves to the frozen burger door and singing “We will overcome” as their friends hold a funeral service for the turkeys in the parking lot.
Cheerios are flawed in this test because there is a small chance the “O”s may all line up in the box and the .22 could pass through meeting very little resistance. 3 day old milk dried on Weetabix however is NIJ rated level 4. Nothing gets that off your crockery so if in the proposed scenario, try and delay the shooter for a few days by moving around the aisles whilst waiting for said weetabix to dry.
The worst part is that people needed a first part. However, I am grateful that Paul made any of them at all, so I don't have to be the goon at the grocery store. The best part (so far) is the fella around 3:40 deciding he didn't want to be a part of the weird porno intro.

"After sifting through all of this flour" i was hoping for some baking video crossover. Remember to take out the desiccant pack and any stray 556 projectiles
If Paul doesn’t have a background in broadcasting, I would wager that he would fare indeed quite well in pursing such a career. He’s extremely clear and seems to be able to deliver on a script that he isn’t clearly reading. With some teleprompter training, Paul would serve as an excellent broadcaster
@@CrashRacknShoot figured it would cover the costs of licensing and users would get it "when it's done" as to not disrupt upload schedule but alas you'd probably be right.

A caveat: As someone that spends most of my current employment in grocery stores, the placement of products on the shelves currently reduces the amount actual bullet stopping benefits. First, grape nuts is usually only one row on an upper shelf if it’s even carried by a particular store. Second, many products are in short supply. As such, the store personnel will often spread a plentiful product across a shelf to hide the empty shelves. So at anytime you may only have a single box for a bullet to penetrate.
First of all: Happy Birthday, Marine! Second: thank you for the video, Paul. I was pleasantly surprised by the results on the sugar bags. To everyone who may read this: "Run, Hide, Fight!" Is a wonderful presentation, and EVERYONE should familiarize themselves with it. Why? Because even *if* you are duty-bound or highly trained to deal with the situation, everyone around you is likely to be panicking. There is a very real possibility that you, as a responsibly armed citizen, will be in a better position to save a dozen lives under Run, Hide or Fight concepts than you will be to take out the one active shooter. You should know where these people need to go, and how they need to get there as part of your essential education, so that you can lead them to safety in absence of their own knowledge.

Weight, density, resilience. It makes sense. I am left wondering about the level of additional bullet resistance the aisles/shelves themselves would offer.
@@johnqpublic2718 I’ve seen other videos where it tends to disintegrate/tumble/stop against seemingly weak barriers. Reid Henrichs did a video on home defense and over penetration showing that 5.56 was less prone to go through walls and exit the home than common handgun rounds. They did some shooting inside an abandoned house they had access to, great video. I figured we might see similar results with grape nuts (after seeing what happened with 9mm Vs grape nuts).
Unreasonable suggestion for tactics: go straight to the cereal aisle, fill your cart with Grape Nuts. Leave a little space for the groceries you actually want. Fill the remaining spaces with those items. Go to self checkout. Scan the desired items. Grin at the self checkout employee. Unselfishly leave the armored cart full of Grape Nuts behind for the next shopper.
Your presentations are awesome. In my country, because of legal restritions, accurate tests and lessons in firearms are hard to come by and your channel has helped a lot. Thanks
We would love to meet you Mr. Harrell. My husband & I watch your videos and love them. I love your confidence, knowledge, and the way you carry yourself. It's great to see Mr. Harrell.
Imagine picking up some milk and eggs and seeing Paul giving a lecture on how not to be shot. That would certainly make for a weird dinner table conversation later.
Hiding behind cereal? Phht! I'm using my mother in law for concealment AND cover. Unless their using a .50 BMG I won't have to worry about penetration.
Paul, thank you again. I watch all of your and Hickok45’s videos and after a couple years of this, today I realized what draws me back here. Your “don’t try this at home, I’m a professional…” shows. I watched several others including demolition ranch and concluded he (they) are just a bunch of kids goofing off. All in all, thanks . I’ll be here awhile.
Said it before and I'll say it again. I love the approach Paul exhibits in all videos. He takes nothing for granted and just tests things out. You don't really know, until you know is a very refreshing approach because there is a TON of conjecture and presumption and pointless debate in the world of firearms. We are ALL better served by Paul's approach and better informed for the time and effort he takes in each and ever presentation.
Thank you, Mr. Harrell, for your clear, well-presented, and relevant instruction on all sorts of firearms related topics. I am very grateful for the product you make available to viewers like me. Keep up the wonderful work!
I am absolutely glad that Paul and his team have deemed it time to address this subject. We get to see Paul in his shooting jacket whilst out shopping!
New subscriber here, absolutely love the way you present your videos in a calm well worded way. And the dry humor is the icing on the cake, stay safe and God bless!
Funny true story. I worked at Wal Mart for a very short amount of time. They had a small demonstration on "What to do in case of an attack". Now I didn't get to actually watch it, but my co workers explained that it basically taught them to run hide and grab anything as a weapon (melee). I said "I have a conceal carry permit. Why not just armed workers?" They were terrified of that idea...I found that interesting.
I couldn't stand around and do nothing, no matter what policies my employer had. If at Walmart, since they don't have guns anymore or at least the ones around me don't, I'd go for one of the axes and a can of hornet spray if I could. I wouldn't hesitate to page out of my grandma's book either and grab an iron skillet, I never saw anyone willing to take a hit from a scorned old lady with an iron skillet.
@@thinix396 well I think their idea was more save yourself but if you have no choice use what's available. But I had a gun and conceal carry permit...I asked if I could just carry at work and my manager was super against it...I'd like rather just...shoot at em instead of hand to hand combat. Like I'm gonna be honest I don't have that permit and a pocket gun because I'm some bad ass Kung Fu ninja.
I love these videos. When I was a kid, we'd go target shooting in old dumps. -and also in sand pits (where dumping had occurred). So we'd shoot random objects like TVs, lamps, a motorcycle helmet, basically anything you'd find around your house. A lot of this was 22 plinking, but we did have hunting rifles and shotguns as well. I guess this was an informal hillbilly class on the bullet resistance of different objects.
7:29 There has probably, in the last 2 decades, never been a concentration, other than at the factory, of Grape-Nuts large enough to make decent cover for anyone larger than a 10 year old. Now, thanks to this video, there is going to be several people trying to hide behind the several boxes of this crap in the case of an active shooter at a grocery store. At least those bullets know how our teeth felt, back in the day.
I seriously doubt many of them are going to survive the run, hide, fight sequence. Some probably can barely survive the 1st world under normal conditions. Modern society has gone against survival of the fittest. >.
Also, Grape Nuts are way up on the top shelf, by the other unwanted cereals. Good luck hiding there. Looking forward to part 3. This is a great series.
I’m a patron to this channel. I truly enjoy and learn a lot from Paul. Also, I’m learning that folks on here get very “triggered” if you make comments they don’t agree with. ❄️
I find it very odd people assume simply a jacket would alarm ppl...like I am wondering what these people's life experience is and what type of areas they live in.
@@hippiebits2071 in Oregon, I highly doubt very many would look twice at his range jacket. It could be worn by a local, a homeless person or a developer. That blue thing, should have stayed in the donation box for the homeless shelter.
Señor Harrell, most of the time when a freezer section has a walk behind area the shelves can be pushed back, providing quick access to the employee area and emergency exit. Just one solid kick and the will slide back.
3:40 Guy in the back makes this pure comedy gold. ''Ah shit, the weird guy is taunting the Turkeys again. Welp, better run-hide-fight my way out of here.''
Relatively new to your videos and I have to say that I very much enjoy your presentation and attention to detail on every little niche and variable in your discussions Not to mention your general delivery and cadence of speech is quite enjoyable to listen too And you seem very well adjusted and knowledgeable on the topics you broach With a load of real life experience and those infamous anecdotes to accompany I appreciate your patience or at the very least willingness to take the time to address any niggling questions or queries of your audience

I just found it funny when Paul said it wasn’t meant for Security, and then just thinking, “Wait a minute, I AM security!”
Haha, as always, great presentation Paul!
"After sifting through all of this flour" i was hoping for some baking video crossover. Remember to take out the desiccant pack and any stray 556 projectiles
If Paul doesn’t have a background in broadcasting, I would wager that he would fare indeed quite well in pursing such a career. He’s extremely clear and seems to be able to deliver on a script that he isn’t clearly reading. With some teleprompter training, Paul would serve as an excellent broadcaster
After his Halloween video I've been advocating for a patreon tier where he reads an audio book
There's quite a bit more to it than that my guy.
@@CrashRacknShoot figured it would cover the costs of licensing and users would get it "when it's done" as to not disrupt upload schedule but alas you'd probably be right.
I'm fairly certain Paul memorizes the script. He's not reading anything. It is a lot of information though, which is the reason for the "Shatner-esque" pauses.
I love how the guy at 3:36 saw Paul filming and took off.
I was looking for this comment
He’s wanted by fbi lol
Are we going to get another dodge the family video this Thanksgiving? That whole Dutch oven cooking video was pretty chill. I could go for another.
It's in progress.
@@PaulHarrell nice I'm also looking for a chill video to "watch while avoiding the family downstairs"
@@PaulHarrell Looking forward to it! Question - what's with the concern about leaving rice on the ground, and have you thought what all that sugar and sugary cereal is doing to the animals teeth? LOL
@@andytopley314
The ants got it. Therefore they were a sweet snack for the other animals later 😉
@@andytopley314 I think it has to do with the “PETA” worriers. Supposedly birds and small animals get choked on it because it’s hard. Most weddings have quit using it for that reason, some even banning it.
I'm a survivor was perfect background shopping music for this. Thanks for the videos Paul!
I never met this man, but I respect him highly for his presentation skills, knowledge, and sense of humor.
This channel is such a gem, and it always teaches you something that you might have not known
As someone who actually likes Grape Nuts, I found this hilarious and most excellent. Thanks Paul! 👍
If y9ou stop by Paul's for breakfast make sure you check for bullets. Always eat what you kill. lol
0:16 Nice to see Paul undercover as one of us mortals.
Part 3
"Now that you've collected yourself...start shooting back."
If you carry a lighter, go to liquor section and make molotovs.
@@sergisamongas Spray can lighter = flame thrower.... lighter hair bands tooth pick fixed heat flame thrower stand that behind more cans of spray you have bomb to lure bad guy too
was a scene from the movie FX 2. they had a whole chase scene in a big store where items in the store were weaponized .... shoe polish and popcorn light the polish next to the popcorn that made ait pop and attract the bad guys and a bunch of other stuff
A caveat:
As someone that spends most of my current employment in grocery stores, the placement of products on the shelves currently reduces the amount actual bullet stopping benefits.
First, grape nuts is usually only one row on an upper shelf if it’s even carried by a particular store.
Second, many products are in short supply.
As such, the store personnel will often spread a plentiful product across a shelf to hide the empty shelves. So at anytime you may only have a single box for a bullet to penetrate.
First of all: Happy Birthday, Marine!
Second: thank you for the video, Paul. I was pleasantly surprised by the results on the sugar bags.
To everyone who may read this: "Run, Hide, Fight!" Is a wonderful presentation, and EVERYONE should familiarize themselves with it. Why? Because even *if* you are duty-bound or highly trained to deal with the situation, everyone around you is likely to be panicking. There is a very real possibility that you, as a responsibly armed citizen, will be in a better position to save a dozen lives under Run, Hide or Fight concepts than you will be to take out the one active shooter. You should know where these people need to go, and how they need to get there as part of your essential education, so that you can lead them to safety in absence of their own knowledge.
In England we have
Run
Hide
Tell
We are told not to fight or to go help others but to hide in a closet and ring the police... We need our 2nd amendment back
@@wulfengel unfortunately once it's gone, the only way to get it back is to take it back. Your government will never willingly hand it back over. I hope you guys do get it back.
I’ve got to say; I was surprised more than once by the results so well-demonstrated in this presentation.
Weight, density, resilience. It makes sense.
I am left wondering about the level of additional bullet resistance the aisles/shelves themselves would offer.
@@kftc1980 you predicted the effectiveness of grape nuts against 5.56?
@@johnqpublic2718 I’ve seen other videos where it tends to disintegrate/tumble/stop against seemingly weak barriers. Reid Henrichs did a video on home defense and over penetration showing that 5.56 was less prone to go through walls and exit the home than common handgun rounds. They did some shooting inside an abandoned house they had access to, great video. I figured we might see similar results with grape nuts (after seeing what happened with 9mm Vs grape nuts).
Unreasonable suggestion for tactics: go straight to the cereal aisle, fill your cart with Grape Nuts. Leave a little space for the groceries you actually want. Fill the remaining spaces with those items. Go to self checkout. Scan the desired items. Grin at the self checkout employee. Unselfishly leave the armored cart full of Grape Nuts behind for the next shopper.
“So Grapenuts are a LOT more bullet resistant…” Paul continues to amaze me.
Paul "I FAILED to make something clear"
When Paul fails, we all get in trouble. :(
NEVER thought i'd see Paul doing the running man, but there it is @ 3:38.!!
This is the most colorful outfit I've ever seen Paul wear
You haven't been around very long.
How he found a blue "Members Only" jacket is damn impressive
@@icarusflight2396 The baby blue was a popular color at the time, although mine was black.
@@Sman7290 I wouldn't call those SpongeBob pajamas an "outfit" amigo
@@Sman7290 I've ONLY seen black..... and I'm a child of three 80s
Your presentations are awesome. In my country, because of legal restritions, accurate tests and lessons in firearms are hard to come by and your channel has helped a lot. Thanks
Today I learned that Paul has a Member's Only jacket.
A light blue one at that…
His wardrobe is more vast than you would initially believe. In another video he is wearing a 70's sport jacket.
Does a members only jacket count as urban camo for a man of Paul’s age?
@@homersaypian3798 I like to think it does
@@homersaypian3798 No but a Leisure Suit would be the right vintage.
We would love to meet you Mr. Harrell. My husband & I watch your videos and love them. I love your confidence, knowledge, and the way you carry yourself. It's great to see Mr. Harrell.
The behaviour of the man in the background at 3:34 is comedy gold.
Imagine picking up some milk and eggs and seeing Paul giving a lecture on how not to be shot. That would certainly make for a weird dinner table conversation later.
Guy at 3:38 is like, "yep, getting out of here right now"
@Zach it's just a jacket 😎
you could have one upped us all by inviting him over for dinner..just saying paul
For the record, Paul only wears that blue Members Only jacket while driving his Trans Am.
He's the anti Bandit.
Haha, I was that guy in 1985
Anything to take attention away from that fugly hood scoop:)
I think Paul is more of a Gran Torino/Ranchero type.
**guitar riff**
Hiding behind cereal? Phht! I'm using my mother in law for concealment AND cover. Unless their using a .50 BMG I won't have to worry about penetration.
Exactly. I'm looking for the girty cart rider or anyone larger than me that can serve as a meat shield.
Just stand behind the guy in the sugar aisle. 😁😎
The turning the jacket inside out had me rolling. I, sir, love your brand of humor. I'm sad I haven't found your channel sooner.
Paul, thank you again. I watch all of your and Hickok45’s videos and after a couple years of this, today I realized what draws me back here. Your “don’t try this at home, I’m a professional…” shows. I watched several others including demolition ranch and concluded he (they) are just a bunch of kids goofing off. All in all, thanks
. I’ll be here awhile.
Kids with too much money goofing off
Fun fact: that open freezer holding the frozen turkeys is known as a coffin case.
Some stores call it a 'bunker'.
@@helgrenze I've heard of that, it's mainly a euphemism, but coffin case is far more common.
@@helgrenze Yup they are called bunkers here.
Bunker freezers in Canada.
For ten minutes that was the safest grocery store in the entire world even if he wasn't armed they'd crumble! Paul Harrell surpassed chuck Norris
Chuck has posters of Paul on his walls
Paul you are the best. I love hearing you talk about commenters as much as shooting stuff. Keep up the great work. 🇺🇸👍
Said it before and I'll say it again. I love the approach Paul exhibits in all videos. He takes nothing for granted and just tests things out. You don't really know, until you know is a very refreshing approach because there is a TON of conjecture and presumption and pointless debate in the world of firearms. We are ALL better served by Paul's approach and better informed for the time and effort he takes in each and ever presentation.
Thank you, Mr. Harrell, for your clear, well-presented, and relevant
instruction on all sorts of firearms related topics. I am very grateful for the product you make available to viewers like me. Keep up the wonderful work!
I am absolutely glad that Paul and his team have deemed it time to address this subject.
We get to see Paul in his shooting jacket whilst out shopping!
When you take apart the Grape Nuts target, is it a Post-mortem?
Boooo!
ROFLMAO!!!!!
Hoy-oh!
That would be SOP with any cereal killer.
Take my like and get out of here.
Lol
Thank you Paul for all entertainment and Information throughout your videos.
New subscriber here, absolutely love the way you present your videos in a calm well worded way. And the dry humor is the icing on the cake, stay safe and God bless!
Thanks Paul . No surprises. Interesting results.
God bless all here.
Love that he uploads one just as I was in the middle of binging his videos. Paul Harrell is in my top ten people I want to be my dad.
Funny true story. I worked at Wal Mart for a very short amount of time. They had a small demonstration on "What to do in case of an attack". Now I didn't get to actually watch it, but my co workers explained that it basically taught them to run hide and grab anything as a weapon (melee). I said "I have a conceal carry permit. Why not just armed workers?" They were terrified of that idea...I found that interesting.
bruh they really expect people to just grab a weapons and fight back?
@@thinix396 There was a terrorist attack in London where a guy grabbed a Narwhal tusk hanging on the wall and stuck the bad guy with it.
I couldn't stand around and do nothing, no matter what policies my employer had. If at Walmart, since they don't have guns anymore or at least the ones around me don't, I'd go for one of the axes and a can of hornet spray if I could. I wouldn't hesitate to page out of my grandma's book either and grab an iron skillet, I never saw anyone willing to take a hit from a scorned old lady with an iron skillet.
@@thinix396 well I think their idea was more save yourself but if you have no choice use what's available. But I had a gun and conceal carry permit...I asked if I could just carry at work and my manager was super against it...I'd like rather just...shoot at em instead of hand to hand combat. Like I'm gonna be honest I don't have that permit and a pocket gun because I'm some bad ass Kung Fu ninja.
Paul in the frozen section talking about mass shootings while Survivor by Destiny's Child plays.
Talking heads " Road to Nowhere "
Paul, please don't ever stop making videos. Your content is instructive as it is entertaining. Don't change anything!
I love these videos. When I was a kid, we'd go target shooting in old dumps. -and also in sand pits (where dumping had occurred). So we'd shoot random objects like TVs, lamps, a motorcycle helmet, basically anything you'd find around your house. A lot of this was 22 plinking, but we did have hunting rifles and shotguns as well. I guess this was an informal hillbilly class on the bullet resistance of different objects.
7:29 There has probably, in the last 2 decades, never been a concentration, other than at the factory, of Grape-Nuts large enough to make decent cover for anyone larger than a 10 year old. Now, thanks to this video, there is going to be several people trying to hide behind the several boxes of this crap in the case of an active shooter at a grocery store.
At least those bullets know how our teeth felt, back in the day.
Hilarious
Paul you clearly have more patience than I would with the keyboard warriors. Keep up the great content.
I seriously doubt many of them are going to survive the run, hide, fight sequence. Some probably can barely survive the 1st world under normal conditions. Modern society has gone against survival of the fittest. >.
The guy at 3:40 reaction is priceless
Thanks Paul,
based on your video I have decided to put a box of grapenuts into my plate carrier to offer optimal protection.
Also, Grape Nuts are way up on the top shelf, by the other unwanted cereals. Good luck hiding there.
Looking forward to part 3. This is a great series.
Yes!!!!!! Just when I thought the day couldn't get better, Paul puts out a video! Awesome!!
Lol kk
That guy at 3:41 was like "nope fuck this" 🤣🤣 love ya Paul. Still waiting on that action figure 🙄 😂
Absolutely need a Paul Harrell action figure with the Jacket of Endless Ammo accessory of course.
I’m a patron to this channel. I truly enjoy and learn a lot from Paul. Also, I’m learning that folks on here get very “triggered” if you make comments they don’t agree with. ❄️
Some people have very poor trigger discipline.
Bags of flour and sugar are the same as sandbags, which are very bullet resistant.
If I eat all that sugar and flour, there will definitely be a wider version of me afterwards.
Having work in retail for years, I am constantly noting where the exits are in the event of emergency egress.
Paul: "...So today I'll wear something a little more benign so I don't panic those people."
Also Paul: *Proceeds to wear whatever the hell he wants*
I find it very odd people assume simply a jacket would alarm ppl...like I am wondering what these people's life experience is and what type of areas they live in.
@@hippiebits2071 in Oregon, I highly doubt very many would look twice at his range jacket.
It could be worn by a local, a homeless person or a developer. That blue thing, should have stayed in the donation box for the homeless shelter.
Señor Harrell, most of the time when a freezer section has a walk behind area the shelves can be pushed back, providing quick access to the employee area and emergency exit. Just one solid kick and the will slide back.
That guy in the grocery store lol. Paul is the best. He puts forth the time and effort to make his point.
3:40 Guy in the back makes this pure comedy gold. ''Ah shit, the weird guy is taunting the Turkeys again. Welp, better run-hide-fight my way out of here.''
Another "well duh, but let me show you" from my firearms version of Bob Ross.
Well done !
Love the Members Only jacket.
The week’s so depressing, Paul uploaded a new video early to cheer people up.
I work at a safeway, so having this knowledge should it be needed is great. Thank you.
Relatively new to your videos and I have to say that I very much enjoy your presentation and attention to detail on every little niche and variable in your discussions
Not to mention your general delivery and cadence of speech is quite enjoyable to listen too
And you seem very well adjusted and knowledgeable on the topics you broach
With a load of real life experience and those infamous anecdotes to accompany
I appreciate your patience or at the very least willingness to take the time to address any niggling questions or queries of your audience
