Hey everyone, we will NOT be making a long version. There are other things that are taking precedence.
How about a “not short” version?
title has typo if you care thanks for content
@@zerker08 What do you memean a typo?
Can we get a price as compensation for that short version?
Bummer. Possibly something to come back to in the near future?
paul you already know we’re going to watch all versions of this video
This is the way
I was just watching the really short version as a “trailer” to the longer 🤣
Paul triple dipping for the hell of it.
The views state otherwise. Way more people are attracted to the short versions of the videos. Not everyone is as invested in non-firearms related rants about how a said individual is so dumb and Paul so smart. Most people just want to get to the meat of the firearms related subject.
I'm waiting for the long version, having watched the first two.
Based on my training, education, and experience Paul Harrell is the absolute best.
Well said, but dont Forget Clint Smith from thunder ranch, hes like R Lee Ermy, Clint Eastwood, and Charlton Heston all rolled into one.
Paul is the King of common sense in a society that is near absent of it.....
"Will a muzzle loading really kill...?"
I still haven't stopped chuckling.
RIP Abe Lincoln he just wouldn't believe Paul
@@redtra236 "I am certain that a rifle, in a trained man's hands, loses nothing of its abilities due solely to the passage of time." --- Sounds like something Abraham Lincoln might have said.
Wait till they learn what kind of gun killed Alexander Hamilton.
Paul, you hit the nail on the head as to number 4 on your list. In 1974 I was buying into my firearms collection at the time and one Saturday morning and in Long Beach, CA the police surrounded my Mother's house and the only reason they were there was to say that I, "Had an arsenal."
This business resolved itself with my Mother going out to talk with the Sergeant in charge and assure him that there wasn't an arsenal in the house. We later complained to the District Attorney and nothing came out of it.
Nowadays it is not wise to casually mention your interests, especially if society deems them "undesirable", to anyone (even family). If family members already know, they already know, but loose lips sink ships and someone close to you found out you liked guns and it spread and became gossip. Hope you learned your lesson. 🙂
@@Hjerte_VerkeI couldn't agree more, Bro. Stay grey.
Yea, I rarely talk about the "Family arms race" between my mom and I, mostly because she wins in both number of firearms, but in ammo too.
@@Hjerte_Verke I learned my lesson however, all my firearms were stolen when my house in Auburn CA circa 1990 had a false mortgage put on it when I was taking care of my grandparents back in Long Beach, CA at that time. The loan was Reconveyed then the property auctioned to a Pauline Seebach in June of 1992 and I was teargassed out of my house in August of 1992. The D.A. refused to pursue the crime but the woman who bought the property at auction is now 92 years old and I have a couple of real estate attorneys ready to attack the transfer in Probate Court. So, I wait. She has been to court through the years for a Motion for a Grant Deed but to no avail. I lost my Honduras Mahogany furniture I made in the style of Chippendale, my firearms collection, from the early 1900's and machine tools/shop.
Your mom is based
Paul is a God given gun instructor. Would love to get to his training center. There are not a lot of people like you left in this world.
The one about the computer games really hit me: in a shooting club I used to go, there used to be a sort of "monitor" (not an instructor by any means, but something else I never fully grasped the functionality of) who INSISTED on being an "expert" in Moisin-Nagant rifle handling, simply by having been "exposed" to it in - you guessed it!!! - computer games!!! Just for the sheer fun of it, I lent him my Win'92 replica, .44-40 and all, and begged him to show his prowess; useless to say, the poor critter couldn't even cycle the action, tried to manhandle it putting his hand OVER - not IN - the lever loop, put 10 rounds over a five-feet spread at fifty-feet-odd range, cursed the winds and tides and planets, and...well. Y'know what I mean.
It's rare that movies get firearms use, or firefights, anywhere close to accurate or realistic. From my early kid teevee watching in the 60s up to the present I would say that teevee and movies left me with these impressions about firearms and firefights:
Nobody ever misses, except for the obvious "bad guys" who never seem to hit anything.
It's super easy to make difficult, precise, accurate shots in teevee and movies. On the run, with the pistol waving all around, a backward-over-the-shoulder head shot at 70 yds with a handgun is no problem. Ever. If we're talking rifles? Don't even need a decent sight picture or any kind of breathj pause, anywhere up to maybe 2 miles. Just throw the barrel in the general direction and it's guaranteed to go exactly where it needs to.
In other words, firearms basically shoot themselves.
It's no wonder so many anti-firearm people exist. From that message above, it's clear that firearms are just inherently accurate to ridiculous distances, no matter who is using one. They basically don't even need a human anywhere near them. According to teevee and movies, that is.
To the point of "old is not ineffective", my Grandfather bought a Smith & Wesson M&P new in 1947. I have it today. It's pre model 10 with a 4 inch barrel. Very smooth double action fires .38 Special very accurately.
Paul was right on target with his observation about American culture always suggesting what you have sucks because something new is available. People start thinking old = irrelevant. No, something older is just something older. That's all. I still drive a '98 Tacoma that I bought new in '98. Works just the same as it did when new, though the seats sag and it has a few squeaks. Still does the same job it did 25 years ago.
@@seanoneil277I have a 98 Tacoma also. It always goes down the road even when our other rigs break down. And it’s a nice ride on a dirt road.
@@fredeschen3783 The 2.7L 4-cyl is one of those 300k engines. The V-6, which I refused to get as it made mpg way worse and really didn't feel all that gutsy, is not reliable without constant upkeep at regular intervals. The timing chains last 60-75k or so, for starters. I have the 2.7L and it runs like a top at almost 140k on the odo.
@@seanoneil277 yup. I have had 3 4 cyl Toyotas. I never saw much if any advantage to the v6. 200000 and no issues currently. I just wish we could get the Hiluxs like the Arab terrorists get to drive.
@@seanoneil277It helps that in America, we focused on quality construction for many many years, so anything that's become old, was built to last. In other cultures where they didn't build things with quality in mind, not only is new better, but you can't get old, because it fell apart years ago.
If anyone wants a dose of difficult gun laws come and live in Australia. The number of hoops you need to jump through to get just a basic simple shooters licence is set up to make it near impossible to jump the hoops. Then if you do get a licence there are endless hoops forever to keep the licence. I did love Pauls 'South Of The Boarder' voice when describing a person buying a Plasma rifle. The comic relief on what is such a dry and difficult subject is always welcome. Get well Paul were always rooting for you in Oz.
I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I know this comment is in good nature, but I heard about criminals literally building guns over there.
It’s almost like you can ban an item but you can’t kill an idea.
Crazy, right?! I know. I’m sorry though. I know how difficult it can be when all you try to do is literally defend yourself. I pray for so many people like you. More than you know. I also pray everyday that these guns lie on the side of good men.
Curious has the violence diminished the in Australia with the more strict gun laws
In Arizona we have a gun law too. It is illegal to carry an un-loaded gun in public.
@robertslaughter7044 I'm in the white mountains I didn't know that.
@@JH-qi9pz ... It's one of those old 19th century laws that are still on the books.
i've been following you since your channel started, and i'm continued to be impressed by your professionalism and humor. i hope you're around for a long time to come.
I am a new subscriber as of today and really enjoying this man’s knowledge and content.
I know you don't want to talk about it, but here are my best wishes for a full recovery from your pancreatic cancer and for quick healing of your broken hip. I have watched your videos for years, and have learned a lot. Thank you, Paul.
Paul is like a Jr High teacher that knows the science subject and is very thorough. It’s appreciated.
You were lucky if you went to a public school where the teachers presented matters like Paul does, with relevant facts, context for the facts, and examples from life. Those are rare things found in a single teacher and that's why Paul's so good in this channel.
If you had a teacher that is of equal caliber to Paul you were very lucky. I have friends with children that are teachers straight out of college. Kind of scary if you spend a few minutes talking and hear their views of the world. I will note they seemed much more inline with their parent’s views at high school graduation then at college graduation.
Terrible pfp
@@motorgearhead I'm only a little younger than Paul. I think most of his audience is older and not so much the Tik Tok generation. So back in 1987, the teacher was near retirement. He was 25 years old than my father at the time. As I think about it, we need more teachers like him, as he also didn't put up with the bullshit.
@@nickma71 - I think it’s a generational thing… Society has changed so much and values have been lost. In addition, young people that do have more conservative views seem to be under attack when they enter the halls of hallowed academia based on feedback from my nieces and nephews
Makes me chuckle a bit at just how much the world has changed during my lifetime:) I grew up in the wilds of the High Rockies of California (edit: er Colorado:) Things were a lot different back then. I remember my grandfather presenting me my first pistol (still have it:) still works just fine:) At the time, after showing me how to clean it, load it, and finally fire it, he sat me down in a chair and looked straight into my eyes, the eyes of a hard man who had lived a hard life and had, all things considered, come through it all pretty well. Unlike me (wink) he was a man of few words- His advice? -
"Don't shoot anyone who doesn't deserve it."
It's stuck with me ever since.
The High Rockies of California?
The High Rockies of California?????
🤣😂🤣
Did you mean The Sierra Nevada? Perhaps the southern end of the Cascades?
@@shouldhavenotshouldof2031 Lol, told you I was getting old :) When I came down out of the Mountains, moved to California where I (and a couple of hundred others heheh) went to high school (with Kevin Cosner in Orange County, California:) I believe he was a sophomore when I was a BMOC senior having way too much fun- dated two "Miss Orange Counties" in a row:) Stranger than fiction here, well the war called, and when I got back from overseas a few years later, (the first time) to ease my 'depression', I ended up taking my father's advice to just find something to do, but do SOMETHING. So I enrolled at a local university, where I found that now our situations were reversed :) Kevin was by then a 'senior classman' big wig in a local fraternity, who decided to rush me:) LOL. Turned out at the last minute I was forcibly(i.e. physically) "drafted" by Kevin's arch enemy frat! (appealed to my nature lol) and needless to say I joined them which led us both to a lot of adventures at that university for a few years till I ended up going back overseas again. Since I'm already hip deep in this tale, let me tell you that back then Kevin was not like the guy you all know now from his movies and divorces heheh . ( I was even a Big Brother to his first wife's sorority:) Funny how the world turns, for even though we've lived entirely different (well not ENTIRELY different) lives since then, I was amused to find my name (a pretty rare one, pinned on one of the principal characters of his "Yellowstone", Probably coincidence lol.
Short version? Yeah I'm old, but I did grow up in the High Rockies, and later lived for a while in California:)
@@skippylippy547 LOL, I've already replied with an extremely verbose response, even for me! gotta say though, I have spent a lot of time up in and around Lone Pine :), used to fish a lot in the Cascades, and even had a couple of 'adventures' in Mammoth and the White Mountains :) Still feeling sheepish over thinking too fast for my typing heheh.
@@seeratlasdtyria4584 😂
can't wait for the long version
Here's my top ten in order
1. Where to buy ammo
2. How to sight in your gun
3. How to load your gun
4. Know what to shoot at
5. How to shoot your gun
6. How to unload your gun
7. How to disassemble your gun
8. How to clean your gun
9. How to assemble your gun
10. Know where you left your gun after you're done with it.
There is only 1 firearms law, then a long list of suggestions submitted by "lawmakers" who neglected to read that 1 law.
based
Extrememly Short Version = 22 minutes, hoo boy!
here we go.
On point as always Paul. I would, however, challenge one of your assertions when you say the great majority of the police are the highly trained professionals they purport themselves to be. Based on my training, my education, and my experiences my opinion is that "SOME" of them are. I have a great deal of experience with the police that comes from both a misspent youth and, later, a short career in law enforcement myself. While I agree that the number of officers who would purposely lie or even plant evidence is miniscule, the number of officers who are absolutely convinced of their own intellect and ability to read minds and take a brief glance at a scene and just know with absolute certainty what happened and who is at fault is positively brobdingnagian. And somewhere in between is a not insignificant number who, while they probably wouldn't purposely railroad you because they hate you having guns, they absolutely would lie under oath to cover their own asses if they make a mistake in your investigation. I won't say the police are your enemies, but they sure as hell are not your friends.
The “extremely short version” is 22min long?
I will save the long version for when I have to visit the DMV to renew my license
re: #3... I grew up in California. Shot, in target practice calibers from 22 to 7.62x54. As an adult, not too many years ago, my wife and I moved to the state of Washington. Laws being different here, I was able to purchase and shoot a specific type of handgun I could not even buy in California, a handgun known as the Mare's Leg; chambered in 45 Colt. Great fun to shoot. Reasonably accurate. And a pretty effective home defense weapon.
This past October was my 50th High School reunion. Of course, back in California. I considered taking the Mare's Leg down with me, for some target shooting with my friends who also enjoy shooting. However, I'm 68 years old and I've learned to ask questions before taking actions. So, I called the local PD and sheriff's office. Upshot (hehehe) is that I didn't take the Mare's Leg across state lines as there would have been a better than even chance it could be confiscated if seen by a cop.
Legal as milk up here in Washington, as illegal as a Thompson Machine Gun in California.
I won't even touch a weapon until I've been run through the controls and how to clear it. All high velocity tools require responsible and conscientious handling, whether they be firearms, cars, whatever. These rules and tenets cannot be overemphasized or said too many times. It's literally life and death. Also, Paul is like the dad I never had. I really do love him, a family like dad or brotherly thing.
I've enjoyed both your opinions and your advice for years. Thanks, Paul. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you Paul!
The video game one is hilarious. I remember in Counterstrike, you charged the M4 by pulling back on the forward assist. As a kid, I thought that's how they worked.
One thing I know over the years, booze and firearms don't mix.
I told people about a old Italian rifle that had a 22 one barrel and a 9 mm shotgun shell in the other. which was Tiny shot shell on the other Barrel. beautifully decorated with carvings all down the stock, engraving all down the barrel and people didn't believe me that it actually existed and I've seen it with my own eyes and shot the thing!!
I ran into the owner at his pawn shop that actually had one of the empty shot shells in his pocket! He was a collector as well and calls it a
(garden gun) .
My grandfather said they were pretty rare in the United States and a lot of people don't know what they are.
I've had guys that were very knowledgeable with guns, tell me that it didn't exist, well it does exist, and I was lucky to have shot many strange guns. my grandfather had a vast collection of strange, or just old guns.
You're describing what most Europeans would call a "Drilling". The one you speak of being Italian is hardly surprising - Italians, Brits, and Germans are most known as producers of them. As often as not, it'll be a .22 caliber rifle paired with a small-ish (.410 or 28 gauge) smoothbore, though I've heard of them coming as 9mm paired with a 20 gauge, and .45 paired with a 12 gauge. Other combinations aren't unheard of, but are much less common. They're not nonexistent here in the USA, but it's rather unusual to see one, and I don't think anybody here in the states is making/offering them for sale these days. It's pretty much (but not absolutely) guaranteed that if you find one, it's an import. More often than not, they're "bespoke" guns, individually hand-made to order for a specific customer, and usually carry LOTS of fancy engraving, frequently including silver or gold (or both) inlays on the metal, and fancy carving and "exotic" wood (and sometimes gemstone) inlays on the furniture. Expect to pay a nearly astronomical price for one (assuming the seller has any idea what he actually has) if you can find it for sale in the first place. At least here in America, these things are generally considered to be more along the lines of "works of art" than actual "Shootin' irons", and usually get handed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms that get displayed as wall-hangers FAR more than they actually get fired.
.22 (short is my guess) & 9mm Flobert is a rare combo, even here in Italy, that seem to be some rich kid "toy" from quite some time ago.
@M.M.83-U my cousin still owns it in his collection And i do believe it is the 9mm flobert, (flo bear) sounds like the name, its been too long. but I know it's definitely 9mm and (22.LR or short). My grandfather pass about 15 years ago, he was born in 3/30/1933 and had a huge collection of strange guns. He called it a boys first gun, but I hear it's called a( garden gun ) large Vinyards and vegetable gardens have pests it would be a great small varmint gun.
@felsinferguson1125 yeah I did get to shoot it once, as he a hard time finding ammo and had to make it himself and my cousin has it in his collection now, it's absolutely beautiful. The carvings down the stock are incredible artwork.
@@BUZZKILLJRJR 9 flobert (it's the name of the frenchman who designed it) was indeed used to defend orchards and gardens from various pests, back in the days, but usually by much simpler and cheaper single shot than the ornate drilling you describe.
It's always good to see another great Paul Harrell video.
I'm now waiting for the longest version possible! Thanks for all the videos you and your team make for us.
LONG VERSION! WE DEMAND IT.
Hi Paul, I won again with seeing this great presentation.
Thanks Paul for the refresher course of what we need to know.
...
Bonus: If you think elected or appointed officials are clueless, just check out your local TV and newspapers/internet sites. If one more so-called "reporter" or "editor" lets another story out about the "robbery" of a home or business when nobody was at said home or business, I will write a strong letter of complaint to the United Nations! "Robbery" is taking property from a person or their surroundings by force or threat of force. "Burglary" (or sometimes known as "Breaking and Entering") is entering a house or business to commit a theft (or sometimes any other crime; this varies somewhat by jurisdiction). You can't "rob" a house, or a closed business!
You can't trust the media to get legal principles or details correct, ever. Even when they have a "legal expert" on the spot that person isn't really as objective or informative as one could be. The story is created before a camera crew goes anywhere. They take footage and do interviews from a readymade perspective. Expecting them to discern burglary from robbbery, or assault from battery, or negligence from conscious recklessness -- that's just too much to ask. Their job is to sell a story, not tell you the facts.
I'm not excusing them. I'm saying it's what they do and people need to understand that. Maybe people will start to make connections relevant to why the culture and society are so topsy-turvy right now. Domestically, and as a foreign affairs matter. How "news" is sold is a big part of the topsy-turvy. A very big part.
I just won 3 prizes! Some Shatneresk pauses, the fly sounds at 14:27, and good advice! Thanks Paul!
My 1964 winchester 30/30 still does its job every year. Love my old guns in my collection.
Thanks for the wisdom Paul
Waiting for the week long rant version . :)
Right on time Mr. Harrell. Fixing to watch and enjoy an afternoon cup of joe before heading to work shortly.
Thanks Paul for putting this out. It is a great reminder to those who are not tenured in firearms. As always, be safe and I hope you are well.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for making them.
Great, quick, concise and to the point. These are a all good quick tips
Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work!
GREAT stuff Paul!
THANK you!
I "learned" quite a bit.
Most men often must "act" as an Firearm Instructor while working with family and sometimes friends.
"Semantics" IS "Important" and is the biggest thing I took away from your instruction today.
Someone says "Obsolete" and thinks NON-FUNCTIONAL and therefore Completely SAFE as if the Firearm in question is now an Ashtray!
Somewhere at sometime, your words here Saved A Life or Limb!
Excellent presentation, Paul.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!! 👍👍👍
Pretty good list. I'll add that disarming the population so that a police state can be installed is very high on the list the ruling elite's desires as an addendum to your point on ever more regulations regarding firearms and their ownership by the law abiding.
7:15 thank you for saying this again. I remember years ago I commented about going camping with my gun, and anything I needed to do, I was just 18, it was my first shotgun. You told me to spray a layer of CLP on it and use PCMS scheduling out in the field. I kept that info with me to this day. I wish you satisfaction in these videos man. I do learn from you.
As usual thank you for the terrific illustrations.
Love all of your videos!
Paul Harrell is an American icon 🫡🇺🇸
God bless America and God bless Paul Harrell!!!
Was looking forward to the long version. The short version was excellent ! Thanks, Paul.
One of the things I like about having taken the CCDW course is that I have a handy booklet with all the relevant statutes for where I am (at time of printing), and can review it periodically.
Great stuff as always!
I love when Paul uploads and I'm at my cousins out in the country, it's perfect
Your opinion is greatly valued. You always tell it like it is and we appreciate you.
Fantastic concise explanation, Paul. God bless.
Great presentation.
Great information sir, thanks for sharing!
Cheers to Paul. Hope your health is doung well.
Awesome paul! I can't wait till the extremely short version of the top 100 tips come out!!!
I ADORE this channel
Looking forward to seeing the long version. Thanx Paul
No better teacher than Paul!
Thank you Paul for your efforts X2!
Thank you for this Saturday afternoon’s entertainment Paul!
Thanx. Noice quick gun education. I learned how to keep from getting jammed up ahead of the infringing 🔫 laws.
You sure have a beautiful patch of real estate there, Paul! Makes your videos all the more enjoyable to watch, almost like a relaxing, mini outdoor getaway.
Glad I checked both videos, i was wondering why I was not seeing the long version 👍🏼. Thank you.
As always you provide the highest grade information, and I mean that, second to none in every regard. I am glad you continue to share you anecdotes, as they almost always contain new information.
So many other things you hear dozens of times, gaining nothing. For example, in the past few years, as I have started learning about firearms, I have heard the 30-30 described as many things: mild, effective to maybe 250 yards, most popular lever gun cartridge, cant use pointed projectiles, and so on. I have never, EVER, heard anyone mention what the opinion of the cartridge was when it first debuted, that it was, high velocity, highly accurate, or especially well suited for long range! Hopefully that makes what I mean clear.
Anyways, much appreciated as always!
As always, thanks for what you do.
Another excellent video. Thank you.
Great video as always, can't wait for volume 2.
Good list. Thanks for all you do. As for old guns, the .22LR rifle passed down to me from my dad and now passed down to my daughter is 80 years old and will easily make sub 1" groups at 100 yards. Sand bag rest and a scope of course.
Good job, enjoyed it!
Paul is always a wealth of knowledge. God bless.
Great work Paul, thank you 👍
Thanks for the informative video
Yessir, I've had a good many
lectures about my use of
"obsolete " firearms and cutlery.
Heading for the "long" version now
Another great video. So much truth here.
Thank you Paul
Excellent points
Multiple versions was a good idea, good video sir
Well said as always Paul!
Great video again!
"Cool for playing old west."
I do love you.
Awesome Paul. Thanks
Outstanding video.
Thank You
Hi Paul. Hope you're healing up well. Thanks for the content sir.
Thanks Paul
Amen, Thank You, Paul.
Thank you
Worth a watch even having just watched the 'Short Version.' Great video as always, Paul.
Thank you Paul for ALL your training videos! We are ALL better off for it!
Short and extremely short versions in the books. I’m ready for the long and extremely long versions. Bring it on Paul!
Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you, Paul - your videos are Legend for a reason. Because they're excellent. The only thing I'd add to this, and you may have mentioned it - some distractions made me miss a couple of bits - but self-control. Whether it's the excitement of wanting game or bent anger on revenge - self-control and judgment on doing something you may immediately or later regret. before deciding to pull that trigger or even aim. I know - I've been there.
Always enjoy your videos Sir. I LOVE, Real World, Feet on The Ground, Reality Based Presentations. Thank You Sir.
Great advice as always.
Even though I held you in high regard before, you just went up a few more points in my book with your understanding of "Elite vs Everyone" and what they do & say to trick people. Good job.
Good information!
Thnx for posting. People don't seem to understand that many people just don't have a clue about what seems obvious to me and you. Also, I was arrogant enough to think that I could learn much from watching your videos. I started watching purely for entertainment and gun reviews. Now I watch mostly to learn what I don't know and to get your perspective and opinions. Keep up the good work. Even us old farts can still learn and change our ways........and our attitude.
I suggest the miniscule version; where you simply state the 10 things without explanation. Should make for some lively discussion! 😁
lively is a very understated way to put it.
