Hope everything goes well with you Mike. Praying for good success.
Ah morning coffee and watching duelist den video nothing better 👍🏻☕️
It’s a sad day in America when you can’t shoot on your own property. Every town in America should have a rifle and pistol range.
Like I've said in other posts, he can hunt with firearms on any part of Duelist Den, but can't operate a shooting range, which he is not doing anyway. Makes no sense.
I have to drive 20 mins in one direction to shoot BP, rifles, shotguns, and such outdoors.
If I want to shoot 308 and smaller rifles and pistols closer than 100 and 15 yards, respectively, and indoors I have to drive 30 mins in the other direction.
I have to drive 65 miles one way to the spot I shoot my Uberti 1858 new model army revolver using my Howell .45 LC conversion cylinder to shoot HSM .45 LC 200 grain cowboy loads at. Plus I have to drive almost 300 miles to get my cowboy loads when they are actually available. I live in a state where I need a gun permit to purchase ammo but since I don’t have it I need to drive way out of my way nearly 300 miles one way from the southwestern part of the commie ‘’commonwealth’’ of MA. where I live now since I moved up here from the Shenandoah valley of VA. ( I’m disabled and only moved up here for the benefits) to the ‘’free’’ state of PA. to score the ammo at the Cabela’s outlet in Hamburg PA. and then I shoot it at my spot in the southwestern part of the ‘’free’’ state of NH. You can see my spot where I shoot in my shooting video that I have posted on my channel of my most recent shooting session back in April
hell most towns at least around here have police ranges we pay for and we should be able to use those since we pay for them!!!
@@keithmoore5306 GREAT IDEA!!! Why Not Donate Time on the deulests den to LE?
Can't BEAT THEM? Go FISHING with Chum.
Thank you for keeping American History Alive !!
Blessings 🙏 and Power to you !
⚔️🛡️🇺🇸🛡️⚔️
STILL LOVE YOU! I can wait for a video from you. TCB!
good luck,mike. a history lesson .
The point is, IT IS YOUR LAND! A person should be able to do ANYTHING legal on their own land! That's why I dryest HOAs and would NEVER buy a house in or join one. Good luck with your court fight. Wish I was in a position to help. I sure miss all your videos every week, you're the best! Keeping you in prayer.
Most of us are in the fight with you Brother.
Love Second Gen Colt 1860 . She is a shooter
I enjoy your Thursday videos but do what you have to for yourself!
Great video Mike. I picked up a Uberti McCulloch recently for $275, was very happy to get it.
Excellent history lesson on Ben McCulloch and his Colts. Famous Texas songwriter Steve Earle has a very well done song titled Ben McCulloch. Well worth the listen.
Thank you for sharing the facts and truth brother
Thank you for posting! The background noise doesn’t bother me. Great information and some history I’ve not heard of. Excellent!
sounds of Freedom!
I love these history lessons. Please keep them coming. I continue to pray for a positive outcome of your lawsuit. The Constitution and good law must stop these crooked politicians!!!!!
Thanks mike, I’m anxious to hear why the hell they are trying to run you out? I’m sure your a good neighbor,and a fine member of the community.
There are neighbors that want him out of there, but they didnt have the balls to come to him like men and complain about the shooting - like the cowards they are - they tried to use politics to shut him down.
He can't run a shooting range, which he not doing, but is allowed to hunt anywhere on the property with firearms. Makes no sense. His opponents are more anti-Mike than anti-gun.
@J Whiskey As Mr. Bellavue previously stated at the beginning of his ordeal. His neighbors shoot on their land without hassle. Nor having a dwelling on the land is the excuse the officials are using. My belief is that it's because he has a "gun" channel. There are other guntubers that are being persecuted and convicted of made up nonsense. All of them advise against saying we should do whatever to stop it. But in reality that's what it's going to take or they win.
because some prick neighbor wants the land for sorry suck ass itself and has got one it's low blooded buddies to stir up this mess in hopes of getting cheap!!!
@@tedwright1380 mike said before one of the neighbors wants his land and had tried to get it before!
I’ve been a fan of this channel for awhile now and I have thoroughly enjoyed your content. Please do not stop fighting for your rights and freedoms, and never be shy or too proud full to ask for help. Again, thank your for all your hard work and dedication in providing us such rich information.
MIKE!!! Keep "Telling the WORLD!" you ARE at "The Duelist's Den!" Get under their skin, get THEM to make a Mistake! after all? is "Duelist's Den" a Place? or a State of Mind?
you have convinced me to redesign my loader for my 1860 and dragoon's cylinders ID.
Go 45! GO! 47!
It's your land!
Another great one thanks no matter the back ground
Good luck fighting the petty politicians. Whatever you produce is greatly appreciated.
As a new to Texas transplant from Minnesota in 1975 I eagerly began reading as much history as I could about my adopted home state, particularly Texas Ranger history. I never knew of Ben McCulloch until I heard the song by Steve Earle. The video was particularly interesting as to Colt orders filled up to the start of open hostilities of the war, a historical fact that never occurred to me. Great video despite the occasional gun fire to contend with. Hope you ultimately prevail in your legal issues
I bought a Signature Series Hartford Whitneyville Dragoon.
Very heavy pistol.
Thanks for the history of 3rd Generation Colts.
Thanks Mike. You are the channel. Not the noise.
Great video,interesting story. Sorry for the trouble you had to go through to tell it.
That was great! Can't get enough but I understand why sad as it is .
1. The township has no right to ask you “why” about anything on your property. They sound like truly disgusting people.
2. Another informative, well researched video. Thanks Mike! We are all pulling for you!
Thanks for the history lesson.
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing this video and I am sharing your video
Thanks Mike for that 'living history' presentation. Also, best wishes for the court case against the the zoning board.
I've always loved these Colts and the story behind them. 👍👍
Keep it up Mike. Thanks for sticking with it!
Thank you for your hard work. Good luck with the court.
sounds of freedom in background make your video's more authentic,, love the sounds
Stay strong Mr. Mike! The power of prayer is awesome! You will beat this!✝🙏
I can hear your voice perfectly clear, and there's something sweet about the barrage of gunfire while you give us our class! Great as usual! Please keep us posted. We all need to know who to vote out! If they're appointed we'll vote out who appointed them.!!!
As a Texan, I really enjoyed the detail and perspective I missed in my 6th grade Texas history class. It's also possible the 33 intervening years made me more receptive to the subject matter. God bless you Mike.
Hang in man we need you. I live in California where fun comes to die and the safety nazis have gone crazy, I feel your pain........
Prop 65: If you live in California, you may be exposed to cancerous people, LOL.
I'll be patient and wait for whatever you can make, Mike. Give'em HELL!
Despite the trials of the gun club. Nice video Mike. Keep them up.
"I'm going to load all 6 just to keep you guys from complaining" that had me rolling on the floor Mike. Thanks for the videos
Another good video. I love the history of these guns.
Thanks!
Good to see you man 🇺🇸💪👍
I have really missed ya brother. I am a long time fan. Keep up the fight!
hi, Mike ...!!!
good morning to you ...!!!
we wait that you come back to shooting at the your range ...!!!
good luck ...
bye bye
👍👋
Great story Mike! Push forward until you are shooting at the den again. Until then I'll listen to every gun fire filled video you want to make! May The Lord's blessings be upon you and your family.
Mike, I can't say this with enough emphasis. Thank you for all the hard work you put into every video. You have to do the research, write the script, drive to a range and shoot the film, edit the content, and in addition to all that pack up everything you used to make the video and clean a gun! I'm sure I missed a few things, but your videos are always beneficial to my education, and I will watch every video you produce for as long as you make them. Thanks.
Thank you Mike. I do enjoy your videos a lot, so keep them coming? I personally am fascinated with the development of gunpowder and early guns over the centuries.
We miss seeing you shoot Evil Roy too. He'll need to be gotten after real good when you return.
Them asking why can't you shoot videos at the gun club is ridiculous. It's of no concern why you can or cannot. Your right to shoot on your own ground supercedes anything. We don't live in the land of tyrants where we need to ask the government's permission. Them corrupt pieces of garbage make me angry.
Great subject. Texan with a Cimarron McCulloch repro. Great 1860 historical piece. Thanks Mike! The shooting doesn't bother me, although I can see how distracting it is for you.
Go Mike! Get well soon!
Sorry for your troubles, have injoyed your shows and information for years!!! If I ever get to buying my owne groceries, I'll send you some support$.
Enjoyed the video very much🙏👍
Good Video, very interesting
Well done, Mike. You knew things about the history that I hadn’t come across. I love learning things from friends. Parson Colt
Keep up the good fight Mike. 2A is too important to yield to anyone.
Love your videos
Have been watching your channel for the last few years. Very grateful for all the info you share with us. Best wishes on your day in court.
I understand the fact that "life" is getting in the way of the work you are doing. Thanks for the videos we do get. Also some of the background shooting gives a dramatic effect to your dialogue. Hav a great week Mike.
There is no government apparatus in Alabama that can tell you you can't shoot on your own property outside city limits. We have small government in my area where even the DMV is only only one day a week for Drivers license.
Good Morning Mr. Mike. As usual your video was informative and entertaining. I am sure most of us do not concern ourselves with the background noise. My advice is to keep on marching, never mind the distractions. We understand. Also, our world has turned rabid. Those that are going after you are in essence going after us all. Keep the faith Mr. Mike. We are cheering for you. "What is best in life." "Crush your enemies. See them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women." Conan the Barbarian 1982
Thank you for the history lesson Mike. That was very interesting. And I wish you all the luck on those corrupt crony politicians.
I sure enjoy watching your videos, pure medisine for heart and soul!!!!
I've an original "McCulloch Colt Army" ser.no.4387,purchased in 1980 in Banbury Oxon UK.
Very much appreciate both the historical shares as well as the cap and ball teardown/instructional videos. 👍👍
You did a great job editing this video considering what you had to deal with. And this was another great video on an interesting subject. I too miss your Thursday videos, but understand how things can get in the way. Take care and keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I support you all the way, Mike. I always look forward to your videos.
I enjoy each and every video you post, Mike! Thanks for all you do and best of luck with the trials with the township.
I am sorry for your aggravation Mike if it's any consolation I do enjoy your video still
As always, enjoyed the video immensely. I have a good friend who is a just-retired Texas Ranger and I shared your Guns of the Texas Rangers video with him. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video Mike, i love a good bit of history. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, regardless of when you can put them out, they are definitely appreciated.
Don’t let Pennsylvania get like New Jersey
I understand that is why God made the Delaware River-to keep NJ separate, LOL. Too bad, as Jersey was a great hunting State back in the day. I believe it was the first place pheasants were introduced in the US, for example.
Looks like the same day as previously posted vidio with constant background shooting. Just late afternoon when most went home.
I never knew about those Colts, or ever saw pictures of them till now.
As always great vidio, hoping like heck your team puts those politicians in their place.
Thanks for your effort. I hope you get the legal issues cleared up soon. I know it’s aggravating. I enjoy your videos.
Well done, Mike. Thank you.
I appreciate all you do.
Keep up the good fight!
Good luck with the case Mike, here in the UK we are used to tough gun laws but not trumped up ones !
Thank you for the great content.
Another great video, Mike, thank you very much. It's great to show that Colt wasn't *just* a greedy man who would sell to both sides. As to the shooting, it's just battle sound background--an excellent counterpoint to the story. Good luck against your tyrannical oppressors!
I always learn something new from your videos. Greatly appreciate how indepth you go.
Mike I enjoyed your presentation of the Colt revolver. I had listened to your video that you posted with all of the gunfire and I was not sure how you were going to be able to edit this video. You did a very very good job of editing this video. Thank you for all that you do for the Black Powder firearm community. I hope that the world takes a break and leaves you to your life.
Mike, I always enjoy and learn from your wisdom whether historical or maintenance driven. Keep up the good fight, you know everyone who cares about you is pulling for you. See you in the next installment when time allows.
Great video and very informative.
I know this was a hard video for you to make but it came out great. Don't worry about those town clowns, you'll win out in the end.
Another great video Mike. Can only imagine how hard it must be on you to not do this at the den.
Great video mike. I can very close to buying a fluted Original 1860 Army a few years ago. But i blew my buget to buy it when i bought my original first model fluck Dragoon. I still want one. I hope the best for you on this land issue.
Loved the video Mike, thanks.
I understand brother no surrender
Everyone hit the bell and click on all,so you get notified when Mike posts a video. You tube is playing more games I didn't get notified! And by checking you help Mike out also. Great video Mike thanks again for the history.🤠
Don’t let the bullies grind you down. Strangely over in the UK we have a private company (Landmarc)managing our army ranges. They are making it difficult at every stage for us to shoot. On top of that our NRA are just going along with it.🤦🏻🤷🏻♂️
Great video Mike! Always a pleasure!
Thanks!
I am so sorry that you are struggling with the situation, Mr. Mike. I liked this video, because it helped me fix the names of the history I have heard with a point in time. Thank you for enduring the aggravation long enough to share the story.
We understand
I really enjoyed the story, got choked up a bit on that one
Thank you for making videos for us despite all you have going on!
Hey Mike... In this video and in many others, I havn't had any issue with shooting over your audio... I can hear you just fine... I think most of us are used to this... I at least love the sound of "friendly" gunfire...
@xDuelist1954 Scumbag... Go scam elsewhere...
Great history lesson coming from you Mike!
Sad when crooked politicians tell you know where you should make a video...give 'em hell Mike!
Best wishes Mike. Keep up the good fight.
Beautiful revolver, I have the 1860 Army with the full fluted cylinder by ASM. I'm looking for 3rd gen Colt now.
Thanks for a great and interesting video.
I always enjoy your history lessons!!!
Thank you Mike for your efforts, i really love your videos!
The noise was only slightly annoying, but the content made the noise easily tolerable. Good, informative video, as always. 👍
