Massad Ayoob on the "against guns" issue, CCW but not carrying, and why women should carry
I had a chance to talk with Mr. Massad Ayoob after his MAG-20 Classroom course, which I took.. and recommend to all CCW citizens.
He expanded on topics such as why there are so many people out there who are still opposed to concealed carry, why many individuals who have applied and have been issued CCW don't carry. why it is equally important - if not eve more important - for women to carry than for men, and more.
"Massad Ayoob is an internationally-known firearms and self-defense instructor. He has taught police techniques and civilian self-defense to both law enforcement officers and private citizens since 1974. He is a former director of the Lethal Force Institute (LFI), and now directs the Massad Ayoob Group (MAG).
Mr. Ayoob has appeared as an expert witness in trials and has served as a part-time police officer in New Hampshire for more than 40 years. Mr. Ayoob has authored several books and more than 1,000 articles on firearms, combat techniques, self-defense, and legal issues."

A study came out last week that CCW Holders are the most law abiding citizens in America, CCW holders commit even less crimes than law enforcement officers.
I saw that too
@@paulpower7018 cops have to break the law to enforce it. Funny duality.
An Armed Society is a Polite Society.... Massad Ayoob is the EXACT EXAMPLE of Speak Softly and Carry a Handgun.
@@misters2837 That would true if the society was entirely calm rational people. Remember 61M people looked at Donald Trump and saw a president so rationality is off the table for them.
The reality is that an armed society is a society with a high gun death rate. In any conflict, the highest probability of injury or mortality is if both are armed, followed far back by one being armed, with neither being armed producing almost no injury or fatalities.
The idea that "an armed society is a safer society" is an intentional falsehood brought to you by the same people who suggest you need a bazooka for hunting and self-protection.
CCW holders less crimes than cops? Not a very low bar to limbo under. Consider comparing them to unarmed citizens?
Massad is an outstanding communicator; his calmness, voice, presence and coherence makes him a great instructor.
Massad seems like a great guy. He bridges the gap between LE and the public with a ton of common sense.
"seems"
Massad Ayoob is a patriot
More than that, he's a humanitarian :)
6:10 I'm a progressive liberal who is totally on the side of the the gun debate that believes that proliferation to law abiding citizens is one appropriate counterweight to the thousands of criminals with guns. Ayoob has a great point about being media driven. There are plenty of hollow arguments that conservative Republicans believe only to stand with the party lines. I've broken the mold and I hope many people from the other side will begin to as well.
+thesweatleaf I've always believed that your political inclinations or associations should not define your personal views. We all should be free to make up our own mind on different issues and should not blindly follow politically-correct views! I applaud you for being a free thinker whatever your party association may be!
Thank you, I totally agree. May your sails meet the winds of fortune!
+thesweatleaf Same here, man. I'm extremely liberal in the majority of my political views, but I 100% side with gun rights. Glad to hear there's more of us out there!
+Tobias Rathein There really are so many more. I mean, there is a very vocal faction in the American Left that over represents its views, just as the NRA really only represents the views of some 10% (+/-) of gun owners in the USA.
+thesweatleaf Oh, I know. I know many people who think that the extremes on both sides of the fence are ridiculous, conforming to some set of ideas simply because their party "demands it." It's silly, and it only holds back progress.
who else thaught there phone screen was scrached when they saw the wall scratchings.
Nice interview. I very much admire Mr. Ayoob. As a mom who has a CCH (concealed carry handgun) permit from NC, I can say it is the best decision I ever made for my household and family safety. Once it expires I will also get one for my current residential state, SC. I carry every time I leave the house.
Bre B. That's the right attitude both women and men should have - take responsibility of your own safety! Don't rely on LE to save your **s - they are not obligated by constitution to save you + they can never make it in 3 seconds (the average length of an attack on a victim) to where you are. Good on you, Bre!
Ivan Nikolov Thanks, I went out and bought a pistol the day a neighbor told me a suspicious man was checking locks on windows and doors in my apartment bldg. As a woman who lived alone I was very concerned that I would not be able to fight off an attacker nor did I want to try at 5'2" 120lbs. Took the class for my state. After waiting 90 days, I received my permit and I feel well-able to protect myself and my family when out.
And this is all good... the only problem is that the state-required classes for concealed carry permits are largely inadequate and generally do not prepare the citizen to defend him/herself. And, that's regardless of which state you got the CCW training from. I'd strongly(!!) suggest that you take additional training in defensive handgun tactics for the civilian shooter. There are classes available from reputable trainers throughout the country. I can provide suggestions if you need any.
Ivan Nikolov You are absolutely right. The CCW courses are not advised for people who are not proficient in handguns and the safety regarding them. What I did was took the class after learning about firearms and safety at this place called Personal Defense and Handgun Safety Center in raleigh, NC so I could get the 90 day clock started with my local sheriff. Then, I went back for additional range practice and also had to take a safety test and range test to become a member of this range. The owner's son was on that show "Top Shot", I think he was like 6th place one season and they have a lot of experience between their family members. I go back regularly when I'm in the area but I also go to a range near here. I love to train and stay sharp. My dad and stepdad and my bf have all taught me a lot and I've learned so much from range officers and courses. I plan to take advanced shooting courses when my schedule slows down. I would like to get into competition as well as become an instructor at some point.
Are there any you know of in the SC mid-state area, like near the capital in Columbia? I can Google if not. Thanks!
Sounds like you're doing the right things to become more proficient.. That's great - you are not one of those CCW owners (majority) who fool themselves that they got all the training they'll ever need with their CCW course.. and (which is even more dangerous) that if they are ever in a situation they will be able to perform!
I don't know of any schools in the mid-state SC. If you are thinking of getting more advanced training - and it sounds like you are - one day you will have to venture out of your area and even to other states where some of the big names train. There may be a local training facility that hosts the courses of big-name trainers. We have such a school here where I live. I was fortunate not to have to travel very far to go to Tom Givens and Massad Ayoob for example.
So gald Mr. Ayoob say "don't think just because a person is Liberal that we are anti 2-A"!
Everyone who can legally carry a firearm should do so.
We're trying to move away from the Wild West (well, the Hollywood version of it, anyhow), not back to it 8-).
Yes Ragitsu. Dodge City had something like 13 killed in gunfights during the 1870's while NYC had duels with hundereds of participants shooting it out, usually one street gang vs. anothe,r with the NYPD triangulating their fire against both sides to stop the battle and restore the peace. The 1863 Draft Riots were the epitimy. The OK Corral had less than 10 participants and lasted less than 2 minutes.
if you did some actual research you would understand how ignorant that statement truly is.
One of the precipitating confrontations prior to the famous shootout was Ike Clanton being fined $25 for carrying a firearm in city limits. No record that a Second Amendment protest was lodged; the gunfight commenced upon Virgil Earp announcing he was intending to disarm the gang.
www.historynet.com/ok-corral
Many frontier towns intent upon civilizing their ranks posted "No Firearms" signs. There is a precedent.
No, anyone that legally can and will taking training somewhat seriously should. Some people just have no interest in guns and therefore they won't train with them, so why should they carry? They'd probably be more of a danger to themselves and others around them.
I'd like to see a federal permit good for all 50+ the territories.
We have one. It's called the 2nd amendment. Unfortunately not enforced nationwide.
There's a bill that was passed by the House for nationwide concealed carry, or reciprocity. Vote accordingly in November '18. It's waiting in the Senate I believe.
No permit should ever be required for any of our natural rights. Where government should get involved is when someone threatens, harms or steals someone. Gun control laws only
control those who choose to obey them.
Don't worry about stance!! MOVE! Motionless Operators Ventilate Easily (get shot).
Ivan, thank you for your very professional and well conducted interview. I appreciate your questions. It was enjoyable listening to the two you discussing the various aspects of gun-carry as self defence.
Thank you!
For me, I have been carrying long before it was "legal", done properly no one would ever know. I am second amendment and I don't give a damn what the current "law" is. And yes I fully support law enforcement and I mean that literally if they are acting under the constitution, militia same rules. Tread on me, I will tread on you.
Great interview! I have long admired Masaad Ayoob and have tried to absorb as much of his wisdom as possible through his books, articles and videos.
Mass is a cool guy. I used to shoot with him back when he was in IDPA. He's very accurate and an amazing well of knowledge! He was always willing to give people tips to improve their shooting if they were willing to ask and then listen.
I thought I had a deep voice, but DAMN!
Honestly, I think these are the values and philosophies that we need in the White House, Running this country and giving the rest of the world THE right examples.#Massadayoob2016
Have relied on Massad Ayoob's wisdom since the first time I picked up a weapon. I have been armed both professionally and personally most of my adult life and thankfully have never had a mishap (Knocking on wood). This is primarily because one the factors in my decision making procedures is first "What would Massad do?" and last "Would Massad approve?".
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 what would massad do is my #1 question
Mass is a guy that is brilliant by a standard not yet written. I wish he would run for Senator of his State! His mind is so analytical, and his approach on any subject is so methodical and meticulous. This is what we need in Washington! Someone brilliantly rational and No nonsense! By the way. This was an excellent interview!!! It show cased Moss,s ability to naturally flow with any subject effortlessly! You did a great job!
American Handgunner magazine published regular articles by Mr. Ayoob and other experts for those looking for gun porn and great information. Excellent magazine.
+Bree B. it wouldn't let me reply to your other posts, but I recommend going up to PSA on Fernandina and talk with the staff. I personally don't know any classes but they do ccw classes for $50 and they'll also point you in the right direction for training. good luck welcome to the midlands.
s88m88h Thank you! I will go up there! I used to live in Sumter, then moved to NC for a number of years, but my family has been in Sumter since 1992. I'm glad to be back close to them. I'm originally from Myrtle Beach but I am making my home in Columbia indefinitely. Thanks for your comment! I need to take the SC ccw class because my NC permit will expire end of 2016.
As a Massachusetts concealed carry holder, I couldn't agree more with Massad Ayoob continued education is very important. I would cherish the opportunity to train with Mr Ayoob. great video God Bless.
I have been around guns for 56years but learn a lot watching him
One of the brightest men I've ever known. Full of knowledge and common sense.
Interesting question about folks who have permits who don't carry, or rarely carry. Both my wife and I have carry permits (Tennessee only has carry permits. Up to you if you carry open or concealed) but my wife rarely carries her CZ 75 9mm pistol. She says it's because it's hard to carry concealed (she refuses to open carry) with the clothing that women wear. Of course, I *always* carry my Ruger GP100 1759 TALO in a shoulder rig where I can cover it with a light button shirt in summer or a coat in winter. But I digress...
Out of frustration I asked my lovely wife one day why she got the damned permit when she never carries, and she says "Because it gives me the *RIGHT* to carry. It also gives me the *choice* not to." While I'd like to see her carry more, that was the answer that encapsulates (or should) our American ideal of liberty. That's where I think a lot of gun-grabbers go off the rails. The fact that I want the right to have guns, doesn't mean I want to force anyone else to have them against their will.
try a smaller firearm keltec p3at or ruger lc lighter and just as effective
doug casady Even though they are cheap, I hate to waste money. My wife won't carry either. For her, a gun has to be made of steel. She says the weight of a gun must be comforting. Besides, her favorite is her pre-B CZ 75 which is invisible in a shoulder rig. Hell, I carry a Ruger 1759 in a shoulder rig under a loose long-sleeve shirt, open like a lab coat, and that young artillery piece is hidden.
Any handgun can be properly concealed with the right clothing, so I don't see a reason personally to carry a mouse-gun against people. Just my opinion, but 9mm Para is the low end for a defense cartridge and 357 Mag the high end (if the gun has a medium-heavy to heavy frame). Guns chambered in "smaller" calibers don't deliver the damage that might otherwise stop an attacker with a not-quite-so-well-placed shot. Calibers "larger" than 357 Mag do not deliver follow-up shots as quickly you might need.
I often read how confident folks are with their skills as gunslingers. While I have never had to use a gun in a civilian setting, I have been in a few lead-trading events as a soldier. Never be too confident. Things go sideways. In my first contact I burned through over 70 rounds from my FAL rifle. I don't recall even reloading. Not once. Not twice, but *three* times I changed mags. We were a squad that ran into another squad-sized bunch. With all that lead flying, total casualty list, 5 wounded (one ours, one died later, theirs) and one dead (theirs). I'm a pretty good marksman, but honestly I was shooting at cover that "had potential."
The point I'm making, is that when shooting starts, the only thing you can predict is unpredictability. Every edge you can give yourself is wise. Choice of gun, holster, attitude, awareness could mean the difference of seeing another sunrise. That's why I'm not particularly a fan of little pocket-pistols.
walther ppk
doug casady Nah. It's fun at the range, but it's more expensive than 9mm, and less effective. With the 380, you are looking down the barrel of 170-ish foot-pounds energy at the muzzle. 9mm is around 250-ish, while 357 mag will deliver anywhere from 500 to 800 ft-lbf, depending on ammo.
While there are different ways of phrasing events, you employ lethal force to stop an attacker. It sounds better in court than saying kill the attacker, but we both know that the surest stop is a kill. That's what'll happen if a .357 inch diameter 158gr Hornady XTP projectile collides center mass at over 800 ft-lbf. That's the kind of rounds I carry in the event of a zombie attack, and if you think zombies aren't real, google "bath-salts."
My opinion is that a gun is like a fire extinguisher. You have to know how to use it, it's better to have one, and nobody ever wants to have to use one.
Wow y'all carry some big-ass guns in the GP100 and the CZ75. Just a point of info in case you aren't aware: the all steel CZ 75 weighs over 36 oz unloaded, compared with 25 oz for a Glock 17 or Glock 22, guns cops most commonly carry on their belts. In other words, that gun your wife is (not) carrying is a very big, heavy gun. Perhaps she'd be more likely to carry if she had a Glock 19 or a Ruger P85 or something.
Nice interview of the Top Expert in self defense policies and statutes. If he doesn't know the facts no one does.
Thank you. Yes, Mass is a top authority in the field of self-defense.
I would give my left nut to have the oppurtunity to go to a comprehensive training course with Mas Ayoob!
Great video. Mr. Ayoob is a no-nonsense guy who gets his point across like few others can. His books are great reading for anyone who carries a firearm for self defense.
And now, 27 states are constitutional carry
"Good people". Yeah: only the "good guys" will be packing heat.
1. They are discussing LEGAL carry. 2. BECAUSE bad guys may carry - is that a reason for good guys (& gals) NOT to carry? 3. You've just explained why police are armed. Thank you. 4. Nobody REQUIRES YOU to carry. 5. Just don't try telling other adult citizens what they can & can't do.
Really great interview! Few people make as much sense as Mas! I'm liberal in some areas, conservative in others. I grew up around my dad's hunting rifle and all law abiding citizens whom are responsible should carry! #gunsforever
+Davy Mike Many would make a lot of sense if they 1) didn't live in a made-up world of theirs; 2) knew a lot; 2) weren't afraid of being brutally honest (regardless if some will end up not liking them... which always happens to brutally honest people). Most of the instructors I've been fortunate to train/study under have pretty much done away with political correctness (they tell it like it is), but Mass and Tom Givens have really mastered the art of brutal honesty - they know their stuff, they understand phenomenally well how the system works and they are not afraid to "tell it like it is". I respect both men a lot. Most people will never get to that level of honesty in their lifetimes. I hope I do.
Massage Ayoob is the Morgan Freeman of firearms expertise. Can’t get enough of that low, soothing baritone.
Good questions and great answers. Well done.
divemor Appreciate that. Thank you!
Mr. Ayoob, please speak to congress! Educate them! Now is the time! Thank you!
golf-n-guns Unfortunately, most(all) anti gun people in Congress already have their minds made up and are impervious to facts and reason! AAMOF, the left ("progressives") philosophically REJECTS reason and facts via postmodernism, which is much more than multiculturalism!
You can use the Weaver stance, or the isosceles stance when you qualify every year, but when the crap hits the fan, you usually don’t have the luxury of picking your stance...
Excellent interview, great questions and very informative!! Thanks for doing the leg work.
Thank you!
Very good interview. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you!
Ivan, this was a GREAT interview with a GREAT man. Thank you so much for posting this.
+jmfa57 Thanks for saying that! Yes, Mas is a great man. A great person to study and to know.
Being involved in politics as a " go fer " campaign worker /party hack, I noticed that numerous powerful and influential personalities possessed pistol licenses as a symbolic badge of authority, but were not particularly interested in carrying firearms, only acquiring licenses because they could, and average 'little people' .... cant.

Outstanding interview!
+Free America Thank you!
11 million conceal carry permits is way more than I thought. That's great. This interview wasnt run of the mill. Very informative.
An excellent interview, Ivan.
Massad Ayoob is a voice of reason that is much needed in our world.
Thank you, Gwen
Why must I WAIT on LE to show up and protect MY LIFE!? All states should just follow the 2nd Amendment so that I may protect MY LIFE IMMEDIATELY! There's no law higher than the Constitution, so how is that we're all wrapped up in all these other laws about how and if a citizen can carry or not?
I always enjoy hearing from Mas. I have a few of his books and have seen many of his videos. Great guy, very smart and has a very realistic understanding of how things work in the real world.
"Shall not infringe" what's this nonsense about having any other permit?
Woody Hayes “well regulated”
@@First.nameLastname - Odd you mention this word "Regulated" You understand this word has slightly changed in PERCEPTION over the years?
Example; When I was in Law Enforcement, our twice annual qualification scores were called; "Regulation scores" even said so on the bottom of our targets. The Range Master at that time (Just a couple years ago) would openly state to those who received low scores "That you need more regulation time" Regulation simply means to train/be prepared.
So, with these facts presented, the words "Well regulated" meant/means to train regularly to be ready. In-fact this was going to be a mandate, but somehow did not come to fruition whereas the government would aid in the cost of regulating the people on a certain bases.
Well, hope you learned something today.
Thanks, for commenting.
@@woodyhayes7402 apparently this will be a one directional conversation where only I will learn something.
How is it "odd" that I mention other words in the amendment?
I CCW every day. Don't think I am not pro 2A.
However, why is this one amendment the only one we think should be absolute?
There are limits to the freedom of speech. There are limits to search and seizure. But "shall not infringe" is often used as if that means there can be no conditions placed upon this freedom.
@@woodyhayes7402 also, you need to argue what "well regulated" meant at the time of the writing of the amendment, not what your Range Master used the word to mean.
None-ya Business regulated in that era means well working. It doesn’t make sense for it to mean otherwise. You are right, there are limits...but there shouldnt be. Its overreach.
The Second Amendment permits no federal, state, or local law to deny any citizen of the USA their right to carry arms. There is no specification(s) on HOW one's arms must be born. There is no need for "laws" to permit concealed carry or any other kind; we need ONLY start tossing out justices who claim that our founders were brilliant enough to create the most successful nation in human history, but were CLEARLY too stupid to know what "people" and "arms" mean. Insisting upon such an insane claim is clearly not "during good behavior."
Most of the women will be impossible to
defend themselves, specially when she has
just woken up against big guys. So the
solution & the reality is women should
always home carry a handgun, coz the
handgun will be her masculinity.
Good to see the truth told in common sense terms.
CCW carriers know they'd lose that privilege at the slightest wrong thing they do. They have the most motivation to remain out of trouble.
Can you please ask him next time about the best self-defense hair style for a man with a thoroughly convincing hairpiece?
Another reason at least in my state why a person would get a CCW yet not carry is simply because that CCW makes it so you never have to bother with permits anymore. In my state if you have CCW permit that IS your permit. I can go in any gun store anytime i want and buy any gun i want and as many as i want without going to apply for a permit and wait 6 weeks. Thats a huge factor in getting these permits yet not carrying. I still carry with mine but you can easily see in this case why someone would get a permit and not choose to carry afterwards.
The biggest problem with conceal carry today is that people are not ready do to lack of education on self defense laws. Who wins? Lawyers do. If you get into trouble we are talking about 100k to just obtain a lawyer to hopefully keep you out of jail. Bottom line. There is no guarantee in avoiding jail time.
Rafael Madrigal very true. that said, get as much help training and education and practice as possible.
Mr Ayoob, what is your consealed carry jacket of choice?
This all changed with the Supreme Court ruling
I think another reason crime has went down since the 90s (up until the Ferguson effect, recently I'm sure crime is up), is because of Row vs Wade. Since abortion became legal, the poor single mothers that breed criminals have the option. The timing works out, mid 70s they started, when those kids would have been teenagers in the early 90s, the crime started dropping.
That may have helped too. So strong laws for a persons right to decide over their own person helps. Only 3rd party supports this.
Even criminals have the right to carry. See 2nd A.
Excellent interview and responses 👍👍👍
Massad Ayoob. A very fine man and excellent teacher. I have followed him and his teachings since the 1980's when I was in my early twenties. Great interview!
+tibzig1 Thank you! Yes, he is. I'll get to sit in his class at least once this year - at the Tactical Conference in Memphis in March...Maybe twice if he comes to TX for his MAG-40 later this year.
I thought my screen was cracked
I had a dream once that Mass didn't have a perfect answer backed up with encyclopaedic knowledge, to any question he was asked. What a fool I felt upon waking.
The man is a Don - and the hen some!

How about having the captions exhibit exactly what the person is saying. There are numerous captions that don't match what is spoken and in fact the captions are grossly inaccurate even showing the exact opposite of what is being stated. Who ever is supposed to be involved in having the captions shown should realize that the captions are to often so very much incorrectly exhibited. If the captions are a result of software that deals with the spoken word it seems to me that someone should be correcting the obvious captions on the video.
+josephcaputo1 The captions are a Google program that takes what is said and converts it to words. Speech to text like a smartphone would have. It is grossly inaccurate on people who have accents or slur their words, but can be accurate on people who speak clearly.
The wall behind Massad Ayoob is "cracked." Not your screen. 😆🤣😂
It's interesting you say that because the moment I saw that I started moving things around on my screen to see if it was in fact my screen. 😂
Thanks for the interview! I live in SC and have my CWP, but I don't carry yet. I'm not sure I want a gun on me all day every day. Don't get me wrong. I am armed. Why? Because during my life I've run into situations that required a response, but not necessarily a deadly response. Would I use deadly force? Without a blink of the eye. But run the numbers. Do the math. What are the odds I'll find myself in that situation? Oh, wait ... Powerball. Okay, yeah, it could happen. I arm myself as I feel appropriate and if doo doo happens, well, it happens.
+joe z You are welcome! And, yes, everybody has his/her reasoning whether to carry daily or not. You have yours and that's totally cool. I respect that. I can't change anybody's mind, Mas can't change anybody's mind. All we can do is decide for ourselves. And, you've done that. More power to you!
I've come to change my mind as I've gotten older. My anti-gun wife came to me and asked me to investigate various sprays that she could carry. Which led me to question my own carry habits. I carried a RM380 in a wallet on and off. I now carry a Seecamp .32 in a holster in my back pocket. I've come to the understanding that you cannot be prepared if you don't prepare. Only by carrying daily can you be comfortable with your gun and be prepared for a "situation."
Great job and even more relevant today!
Very nice guys
Loved it
Where did Massad Ayoob get that shirt?
hAVE 3 DAUGHTERS andall 3 were taught to shoot and all 3 are up to the task.
I have 5 daughters between the ages of eight and 21 and all five of my girls either have been shooting or I'm teaching them now. Because fuk being a victim. I can't be around my babies forever I will die someday. So long as I'm around my girls that got nothing to worry about but... We know and you know having daughters of your own you're not always around. I believe little girls should be taught young if they want to be so that if they are put in a victimized situation they have a chance a very good one of coming out on top not raped or murdered or both.
Very well done Ivan. I am glad that Mr. Ayoob do talk about the sometimes carry people. I am a nurse. I have to be "sometimes carry" because I am not allowed to carry in the hospital. I do agree that those who can carry should when they can. While travelling out of state on vacation in a state with CCW reciprocity both my wife and I carried and it protected us and our son in a time when we needed it.
+Andrew Wolfe You are doing the best you can considering the environments that you have to be in daily! That's great. As far as I know from the License To Carry Instructor class that I attended you can carry concealed in a hospital as well but only with the written permission of the upper management. I have to check whether this is valid for Texas only or it's a federal law. It escapes me now.
+Ivan Nikolov The law in Illinois states we can't carry in a hospital or other medical facility. That is just part of our CCW law. I live with it, but I wish there was a way I could lock it up during my shift so that when I go back to my car at night I could be carrying. There are times I have been thankful, such as when I am getting off late and leaving a hospital in a "sketchy" area, to make it back to my car where I have to keep my firearm locked up until I get out of the hospital. Keep up the good fight my friend!
Well spoken class act.
Why do people who have CC not carry? Well, in many states having a CC permit exempts you from waiting periods on gun purchases, etc. Some states, Kentucky for example, have always allowed OPEN carry without a permit but if the gun becomes inadvertently concealed, your shirt comes un tucked and covers the gun, you are violating the law. Having a CC license avoids any risk of that. Myself, I always carry, but I have heard people mention those reasons.
nice interview, thanks!
In the mossad i mean not in the mossad
Even tho he was pretty fair about the conceal carry issue dont tell me to register n get a permit so the government feels better about me how about evaluate the situation n circumstance
No one's telling you you have to get a permit but here's the thing if you get caught without one carrying concealed that's your ass. Regardless of what the second Amendment says... You will get penalized. I'm thankful to have been born and raised here in New Hampshire and up until 2017 it was very very easy and cheap to get the permit to conceal carry and as of 2017 we have been a constitutional carry state.
And I'll be honest... I've been carrying since I was 19 years old even without a permit. I'm just lucky I never got caught.
Thank-you, Mas, for recognizing the 'slippery slope' of *requiring* 'Mandatory Training' for a Carry Permit! As someone of *severely* limited finances, *that* is a serious consideration; as a resident of New York State, the cost of *getting* a Permit (even *without* having a Mandatory Training requirement!) is bad enough, then add in the cost of a decent-quality gun (even if used) ... whew! I'm having a hard enough time saving for it all, as is!
The articles Mas has published over the years, combined with occasional bursts of hands-on training when I have had money, have made me good enough with guns that I have successfully helped my brother train his kids, and trained a couple of others, too (who had previously received 'training' that was ... not very helpful). I am more than adequate with a gun, and happy to demonstrate so to anybody - but if NYS suddenly puts in a 'Training Requirement' for a Carry Permit ... I will be 'priced out of the market'; which would be the point, of course!
Well, here I am, two years late to this party. Gotta say what I think though. If Mas isn't a full blown genius, he's
sure bumping up against it pretty hard(8-). And I gotta give the interviewer a lot of credit. Excellent job, Ivan.
Thanks for sharing.
Mass has such a way with words. He's very skilled at articulating quite complex concepts into straightforward language.
I particularly liked two of the points he made in this interview.
Firstly the one about not only protecting your children, but also protecting their dad (ie yourself).
By protecting yourself, you are also protecting your children from the trauma of losing a parent.
Secondly, the point about mothers being armed is spot on.
In my family's particular circumstances, if only one of us could be armed, I would choose for it to be my wife.
I'm just not around our kids as much as she is because I'm at work a lot.
I want him to narrate a firearms documentary or my life his voice is golden
Great interview. I am a " progressive " and defender of the 2 nd Ammendment. I admire the reality thinking of Mas. I have followed his writings in some gun magazines but never listen to him speak. Love the connection between gun training and access to money. He is 1000% correct.
Not all gun owners are conservative ( politically) . I know a lot of gunslingers that could careless about either political party ( like me).
Mr. Ayoob applies a considerable number of brain cells to all manners of firearms issues, and having deeper conversations about these areas is imperative, especially in our polarizing political climate where too often we follow a "party line" without giving our own individual thoughts to bear on the greater societal impacts of our actions and policies.
As another 'progressive liberal independent,' I happen to know more people who've been hit by lightning, than have been murdered by attackers. But the latter number is still three, to my awareness. I also look at the sheer numbers of firearms estimated, compared to actual usage in fatal shootings, either crimes, accidents, or defensive use, and note how small the numbers are, suggesting the fear of guns is grossly exaggerated. Defensive shooting statistics are terribly suspect, but that should be irrelevant to an individual's decision to have a gun for protection. Rights and responsibilities walk hand in hand.
If you own a gun for defense, the equation balances favorably only if you and your loved ones are safer with that choice. If you are not comfortable carrying it 24/7, by all means don't. If home situations have small kids, unattended teens, a mentally challenged or depressive person, your choices must responsibly adjust for those risk factors, and for many investing in locks and lighting is actually more effective than being armed.
Ivan, thanks for keeping the comments open. I used to read Massad's columns in some of the firearms magazines. The vid I just left (the 'stress reload', with no comments) was the first time I ever heard the gentleman speak. Thanks for sharing the info this highly respected expert was good enough to provide.
I am an attorney and former felony prosecutor. I carry my EDC up to the courthouse and check it. I pick it up when I leave. I’m also a firearms instructor. I have also studied first aid and dressing gun shot wounds.
I advise all of my students to get a carry license because it simplifies transport of guns. In my state, you can't stop anywhere on your way home from the range unless you have a carry license. I know a guy who got to spend a night in jail for that very reason.
I don't carry 24/7 because my employer doesn't allow me to have a gun at work. Pretty simple.
Hello Mas:How fast can you drive a 38 cal. 148 gr. hbwc,before leading. Thany You Sam
This was a good interview. I fully support women carrying. It's a great equalizer. Massad is very reasonable in explaining concealed carry and why it is a right and American.
I really enjoy listening to this guy because he cuts through all the political BS and gun erotica to preach sensible firearms ownership and self defense. Bravo Mr. Ayoob!
Great video loaded with great information.
Thanks for posting and be safe.

I really need to get on the ball of taking all the Massad Ayoob classes I can before he retires from teaching! I've watched all the Massad videos on youtube and I'm ordering his books. This man is a wealth of no BS knowledge that needs to keep spreading.
My accountant who grew up in NYC ang ran a business in Nj when he moved to Florida he got a carry permit and carried for a few weeks he did because he could. Now he carries when he feels he needs.
This was a fantastic interview with an absolute icon in self defense. Also amazing that Mr. Ayoob has passed his knowledge on to his daughters as well as so many of us that have subscribed to his writings for so many years. He is certainly an icon in the discipline of self defense. He has without question saved many lives with his teachings of self awareness and self defense that will never be mentioned by the liberal biased media.
Idaho now allows for both open and concealed carry without the need for a permit! Idaho does offer an enhanced conceal carry permit that is recognized in 43 free states.
Is it me or does this guy remind anyone of Borat? 😆😆 yak-sheh-meh! In all serious a good interview😉
Great interview. Very relevant questions. Good job. Mr. Ayoob is the man!
I am now 63 and havean artifcial knee and 2 artificial hips. I have reached the age where diparity of force works in my favor.
Great interview! Did you shoot this with a single 4K camera so you could punch in for tight shots?
Good content. Thank you to the both of you for honestly of questions, ideas and applications.
A good man.
Interview starts at @1:39
Great man!
Mr. Ayoob needs a facebook page.
+Lawrence Oliver No, he does not. Mas is in his late 60's, has been very successful, so for what possible reason would he need Facebook?
Not in the literal sense. But as in it would be neat if he had one for interviews, past & present, articles written by and or about him etc... etc... No one is saying that he has a personal need for a fb page...
Duane Scarborough He doesn't 'need' one. However it would be a way to introduce his knowledge and schoolnof thought to a new generation that would be much more likely to discover him on FB than from old articles in a gun magazine.
