One of my teachers told me I wasn't allowed to wear one of your shirts (the get out of my damn trench one) because it showed a gun he said it was against the dress code and "it's as bad as clothing depicting drugs or alcohol." I let it slide, but I made sure to read through the dress code and found nothing of this sort, I even asked the vice principal who said it was fine to wear (even with the wording on it). I called my teacher on his bluff in the middle of class and he told me it associated me with violent acts. Most of the class came to my defense, calling him biased and calling him out for basically making assumptions about gun owners. I think my class stood up for our rights pretty well, for California kids anyways.
Dosh this is why teacher tenure is bullshit. I have a teacher who attacked me for supporting Trump, then half the class completely stopped talking to me because of the fact that I am a Trump supporter. That fucking asshole teacher completely fucked up that entire year in that class for me. When I complained to the school about it, they basically said there was nothing they could do about him because of the Tenure.
When I was in grade 10 , I Had the school in lock down because of me.. .. .. 6 cop cars and like 10 cops searched my locker for a hand gun when I was in a class , then they had a little chat with me. That's what I get for talking about my Custom FA BB guns in school. And of course I never had anything on me or my locker besides like 10 knives.
Owen Thompson I was running a online knife store as a part time job. Some times I would bring samples to show ppl. Knives in school was ok as long as they did not have more then a 4" blade.
Im in 11th grade and talk about guns eith my teachers lol i went hunting with my biology teacher(chick) and one kid has a gun rack in his truck even eith guns in it parket st the school parking lot
when i was age 7 living in north Idaho along the Canada border my parents gave me a 410/22 over under savage. i proved to handle the hunting rifle so i was given that. plus i explored allot and my wolf could protect me so much against wild life.. i needed a bang stick to scare away any wildlife cat or bear mainly..but never had to use it for that. i had a good dog.. im 37 now times have changed.
. . . Sudden realization that maybe a bunch of dim-witted politicians care more about themselves while they sit there and do nothing more than they care about the safety of the future people of the US. . . . . . .
Well there's always gonna be psychos. Some people and places are bigger targets than others. Political representatives, and any people who are in a gun free zone. Your best option to running into that scenario is to stay away from both, the way I see it. Unfortunately I don't have that advantage of being away from a gun free zone as nearly all of CA with the exception of your house is a gun free zone. And let me tell you, if I checked the local news right now, I would hear nothing but gangs warring and people being stabbed and shot. Probably gangs, but still, others are hit every other shooting it seems. But hey, that gun free zone is suuuuurely reducing crime right? Ha. I can't wait to be out of here.
***** I've never heard of a school shooting where the shooter shot through windows at children. It sounds nice and all, but I doubt bullet proof windows would actually help, the shooter always walks into the school (which they leave open for anyone to come in) and blasts it up, not from the outside shooting in. The best thing schools could do, in my opinion, is have an everyday "lockdown" I guess you could call it. Nobody goes in or out without planning it at least a day ahead of time with the school staff. It would help keep the creepers away from kids as well as a shooter, if that was ever needed, rather than just leaving the front doors open for some criminal to come in and try to take a kid or whatever. I see the fire hazard issue, so maybe have the hallway doors that can only be opened on the inside when you push them, the kind that can't be pulled from the outside (sorry if you don't know what I mean, most schools have them though, but don't use them.)
During the 80's when I was in high school in Alaska, students would routinely bring hunting rifles or shotguns to school & store them in their lockers so they could go out hunting right after school. It was common for students to have rifle/shotguns in gun racks in their trucks parked in the school parking lot. Our principal Sid or the teachers would usually make a comment like "nice gun!" I think that every guy in high school had a knife - it was just normal. I think that the worst thing that ever happened was that every now and then there would be fist fight. The teachers would break up the fight and make the students shake hands afterwards. I'm sure that things have changed now. It think it started under Clinton with the "Zero Tolerance" crap. A few years ago, Sid passed away while duck hunting. He was found sitting on a log, he had shot a duck, he had his pipe in his hand, and his dog was sitting nearby guarding him. If you gotta go, that's not a bad way. It's too bad that they don't make teachers like Sid anymore.
In regards to the description we do have an active shooter drill it's called "go sit in the corner with the lights off and the door locked in a useless attempt to trick them into thinking you're not there"
yeah thats not a good plan but its a start, a start to what exactly im not sure but some one needs to continue on with that plan because its not even in its infancy yet
Next weekend I have a chance to be an ambassador to our sport. I am taking a Japanese friend from work to the gun range. I told him I would let him shoot the AK-47, his eyes lit up and he was like "REALLY!?" Uh, yea man, really really.
Keith Richards liver Absolutely, and safety being the first lesson. I will probably need to explain why we need these kinds of rifles and use North Korea as an example.
USNVA He loved it, we brought out several types of weapons. A shotgun two pistols and the AK. He brought another Japanese co worker and we worked on safety first with the ruger 22/45 then moved up the line from there. I had an old sears bolt action 20 gauge that they seemed to like the most, probably because it made the soda bottles explode the best.
Same here bro. Last 4th of July I took my friend, who hasnt shot a gun in his life, to the range and after that he's planning on getting a Glock 17 because of me
My friend got expelled for a week just because on his school computer (that he was required to pay for) had Don't tread on me wallpapers/ pro gun etc wallpapers, and had visited online gun stores. He also wore pro 2nd amendment shirts that they made him change. Everyone, at least in high schools around here are a bunch lame, trendy, alcoholic, drug addict, losers, who are completely brain washed and brain dead sheep. It's like you talk about guns, you're automatically evil. Hate the people around here.
I graduated 2 years ago, I was sent to the office for having an American Flag on my shirt...because it "offends other nationalities"...schools are going to far.
I have a friend who wears an NRA shirt to school every week, and i frequently wear my hat. I live in New Jersey, and my friend and I have yet to get in trouble, because we don't put up with these lousy anti gun rules that the school comes up with, and our teachers know we will defend ourselves. I wish everyone did stuff like we did, we've gotten tons of other kids to wear stuff like that to school.
I am a college professor, and I'm not sure how I feel about carrying on campus. It's a mixed bag for me, but I'm open to the idea. I do, however, think that firearms training / sportsmanship should be offered in colleges and high schools.... and I think we need to bring back civics into the classroom.
Open carry is legal in many states and those who are not aware, need to be made aware that this IS legal, but open carrying an AR is just plain idiotic. A small handgun like a Shield or even a 1911 CMD in a snug fitting holster, I can see that being just fine, but carrying rifles???? Those are the nut jobs who might destroy the rights we are fighting to keep.
pickin4you I agree, I had this discussion with a friend of mine the other day. Just because you have the right to carry a rifle, doesn't mean you should. Carrying a handgun, in a nonchalant manner and answering a persons questions looks much better than walking in a store with an AR 15 hanging on your chest. Even as a concealed carry holder myself, seeing an open carried AR makes me a bit nervous.
As a Texas resident I find it crazy that you can open carry AR's, AK's and shotguns but you can't open carry handguns. hell you can get into trouble if your hand gun prints or is accidentally exposed if your concealed carrying.
my school has a clause in the handbook that says something along the lines of "at the digression of the principal" meaning literally we can get in trouble for everything the principal doesn't agree on. it's a load of crap and tyrannical as far as i see it
My sons asked me, " Dad did you take guns to school" I said yes I graduated in 1987, we had shotguns, rifles, during hunting season in our vehicles not in school buildings. Teachers knew it so did the principal, had ZERO issues. The police station was 1 block down the street, cops never said a word. Damn I miss the old days!!!!!!
I went to school in pa and used to have my shotgun and rifle in my car at all times during hunting seasons. I raduated in 2006 and none of my teachers cared either we even got the first day of doe and buck season off of school to hunt.
Most people would say I'm a social liberal in every way other than guns and public decency so watching y'all's videos is incredibly refreshing. While y'all's personal political beliefs may be more conservative than mine, the fact that you are objective, polite and fair regarding differing opinions (other than guns of course) really makes your channel easily one of my favorites and appropriately "politically correct". Keep up the good work guys!
My daughters school did a Veteran's day assembly the day before Veterans day this year. As a vet(Marine Corps), they did something very unique. They sang the song for each branch, which I thought was very cool. How ever, go get to my point, they skipped a few versus from the Marine's hymn because it says, "fought in every climb and place where we could take a gun." That right there, damn near ruined it for me.
Last year my brother and his friends were assigned to make any kind of film they wanted for their media class, so they decided to get together and make a walking dead style film with zombies in the woods near our house. They had airsoft guns on their belts as props, which where never fired or even drawn in the whole movie. The next day he went to school and the teacher let him show his flim, but held all of them after class, apparently to let them know that "guns represent violence" and that she would call all their parents and tell on them, I guess. What happened next was priceless. She called my dad, and apparently had it on speakerphone, and told them about how they had "inappropriate props" in their movie which had been supplied by my brother (and one was mine, I think that he borrowed). And my brother said my dad just went into hysterics on the phone, laughing so much he was choking for air. Reeducation sounds exactly right. And to his teachers dismay, nobody involved got in trouble. Yes this is in CA, in case nobody else knew by now. 😂
I got in trouble for owning Airsoft Guns. Yep. Airsoft guns. My school found out and they call the cops and they seized 'em. Funny thing is that I didn't bring the gun to school at all.
My schools, from elementary - highschool, all had armed security in the form of local police officers that stay in the school during school hours then act like normal cops otherwise. When there was a threat of some sort there would be two or three, and it only made everyone feel safe. There was never a single tragedy in any of those three schools.
It really has changed. I went to a inner city school we had armed Police in my schools and this was back in the early 90s. I had teachers that were avid outdoorsman and would swap hunting tips and fishing tips. Heck my Biology teacher get me into reloading. Now days that would never fly.
I am 15 and our school has a shotgun, rifle and archery team. We got second at state competition in North Carolina. I am on both the rifle and shotgun team. We were barely recognized in our school when we got second. I love what y'all are doing.
When I was a kid we would bring our guns to school and keep them in our car. After school we would go shooting with the social studies and shop teacher almost every Wed.
My drivers ed. teacher during the school year taught at a Native American reservation where things could possibly get a little "crazy". She was about 5'2'' and 300lbs and she carried a 9mm beretta in her purse at all times. One of the coolest ladies I've ever met.
I graduated from high school in 2005 in a small hick town in New Hampshire. During hunting season, guys would go hunting in the morning before school and then come to school afterwards. Their hunting rifles would be in their trucks in the parking lot all day and we NEVER once had a problem.
The problem didn't start overnight, and I don't think it'll get fixed overnight either. I think it's a growing psychological weakness in the younger generation who feel a great sense of entitlement, and has a harder time dealing with rejection and losing. People talk about mental illness, but I think it's society losing its grip on raising children to be responsible adults. Whatever legislation that can be invented to stop school shootings will only be a band-aid remedy to try to mask the symptoms of a deeper problem. But I gotta say that that sign at 10:50 would definitely make any psycho or criminal scum-bag choose a different target. LOL
In Jr. High last year we had an elective for Gun safety and the exposure to that class and the trips we took to the firing range really made me appreciate and respect the power of firearms and since them i've studied to get ready for any licenses I need
Also all schools have a gate and most of them never close the gate, their should be a perimeter made same as a base; police force response to back up the first responders in the schools who are backed up by the perimeter guard.
guards are also part of the society , im not gonna stand at a school for a even a hour so we need a job so people can do just that, everyone armed is key but everyone is not trained even if your shotgun is in your truck
I agree that society should be able to arm themselves. Idk what high schools you guys went to but my county in Maryland had fat ass security guards who didnt do anything and had no kind of weapons.
I work at Walmart in the Sporting Goods section. The other day, this little guy about 20 years old was looking at some 20 gauge shells. I asked him if he needed some help, he said that he just bought a 20 gauge and would like to buy some home defense rounds. I light bulb went on in my head lol I started teaching the guy what he needs to use in his home for home defense, the shells he should shoot for just plinking and having fun, I also taught him about regulations in the area about hunting animals with a 20 gauge etc... Anyway the guy was very thankful, at least I thought so. He told me this was his first gun, so I was very excited to teach a new shooter the ropes.
In the High School I went to, we had an Air Force JROTC program, and when I started out our drill rifles were Demilitarized M1 Garands. If you look at it across the room, you wouldn't be able to tell that it had a steel rod welded in the barrel and had the firing pin removed. Because we were allowed to use these, we went through a 2 hour training course on how to handle firearms properly. We learned proper gun control and to control the Muzzle, Action, and Trigger, and then how to clear the weapons. These rifles were later switched out with Demilitarized Springfields, but the training remained the same. We didn't have a rifle team like Eric was talking about, but we did have an air rifle team and competed on a national level against other JROTC programs. We went through 6 hours of training on how to use the rifles properly and had to take a 50 question test on safety and use of the rifle before we were allowed to touch them. We even had a 10 meter air rifle range in the school building. Of course our instructor went though training as a range officer and there was a lot more safety involved, but there were no accidents or even thought of doing something foolish with the rifles. I think we don't have a control problem with guns, we have an education problem. If more schools taught things that would be useful to not only be a good student, but to be a good citizen, we would not have any where near as many problems as we do today. We focus too much time and effort into making sure all students take pre-calculus and a watered down general health class and can pass all the tests that the state requires, that we don't teach them how to think for themselves or teach them how to be adults who know how to follow the laws (that aren't taught in schools) and know how to file their taxes or balance a budget. That's just my 2 cents.
So glad I went to public school 25 years ago when officials and teachers were a lot more tolerant. I don't have kids, but if I did, they would be private taught for sure. This common core crap is designed to stupify, I swear.
The high school I attended was a gun free zone, but in the early 80's this same school had a GUN CLUB. Kids actually brought their 22 rifles to school, rode the bus with them in a case. That shows you how the mentality has changed, and no there were never any shootings.
I can't even talk about guns in my school they tried to to tell me there evil I haven't bought any of there bull crap and I feel less safe with the gun free sign on all the doors and it's a real pain in the butt.
When I was in middle school in Michigan during the late 1980's, hunter safety was a required part of the science curriculum. Everyone had to take it. We learned ethics, hunting practices and gun safety. We had an Air Force base nearby and had kids from all over the world, from the city and from rural areas. Everyone was fine and had no qualms about learning about this stuff. Kids enjoyed it. How times have changed.
Did you know There a few Kindergartens in Australia Now are making the Kids who bring Their Toy Guns to have a gun license I'm not Bullshiting check it out!
Well. 3 of my now ex girlfriends used to be staunch left wing anti gunners... Now all 3 are ccw permit holders who carry daily... Done my part and will keep educating...
back in elementary school they made me turn my shirt inside out because i had a paintball gun on it. which was weird to me at the time cause i was notorious for having a huge interest in guns and the military (of course way before i decided to take the music route). In middle school, a teacher (who wasn't even my teacher) gave me a detention cause I liked to draw guns (not shooting anyone or anything, just drawing the gun and its details). Schools suck
Tinker v. Des Moines School Dist (1969) "Students do not loose their rights at the schoolhouse door. By a 7/2 vote, the Court held that school officials cannot censor student speech unless school officials reasonably forecast that the speech will cause a material and substantial disruption of school activities or collide with the rights of others. Mere apprehension of disturbance or an offense given is not enough."
yeah please dont send your children to the government indoctrination facility, be a real parent and teach your kids how to love learning and love individuality and freedom
I'm a little late with this comment but in my junior year of high school (going on my 3rd year of college now) I'm proud to say I was in a criminal justice vocational class here in Indiana and although it was off school property we got to shoot funs during school time including glocks, ar15s, and shotguns it was awesome and I'm proud of my school for offering such a great course
I told my wife today that we will no longer be shopping at Target for that very reason. She was not happy. But Target just put all their customers and employees in danger by advertising no guns in their stores.
You guys are being silly. Target did not ask for gun free stores, they made an arbitrary statement to get those annoying and arrogant fucks from Everytown for Police State Control to leave them alone. There is no change in policy. Go ahead and CC or OC in Target, they have no policy against it. But OC is still pretty bad when CC is a viable option.
My band director is on the volunteer SWAT team and we have this big conspiracy theory that he keeps a Glock in his file drawer and an AR 15 in his SUV.
When I was in middle school we were talking about zombies and the teacher told me what would I do if their were a zombie attack I told her "I would shot all the zombies with a gun, common sense." 5 min later the principal came to me and threaten me that if i don't tell him where I have a gun he would call the cops and search my house i said "ok search my house" true story p.s the only time I was sent to the principal's office was for a food fight with a group of friends but other then that I always get A's and B's I was even a conflict manger in elementary lol
Xof Wolley Brad Brown Tuton25 Nice, i'm jealous of you all. I live in Washington state and even though we have pretty decent gun laws, we are a super liberal state and I can't even imagine a public school having a shooting team here.
Could not agree more with both of you. Growing up in New York State, I graduated from a high school that gave courses in firearms. The class taught gun safety in hunting and range work. Our classes and range work were held in the basement of our high school. When we brought a shotgun or rifle to school, we checked it in at the office before going to class. Yes, this was a very long time ago. Yes, I'm an old fart, yes, there are others who remember the same and should also comment, and yes, times have changed and not necessarily for the good. Keep up the good work in getting the word out!
Just a dumb suggestion: How bout US makes that you can only get a gun after having a license but before acquiring a license you have to pass a gun exams like how you get driving license in the UK...
well, that would lead to a registry, and then the feds, when they decide to take guns, would know where the gun owners are, or they could decide that next to nobody can get a license, or if you got so much as a jay walking ticket that you couldn't have one
They DO know where all the criminals (disqualified from owning firearms) located because their possession of all the criminal records. Why not take their guns away. Just a dumb question because it's not like anyone wants to violate a right that those criminals lost right? No, Instead let's ban guns from the law abiding...
feralbigdog As if that huge repository of Form 4473's and the endless electronic requests for criminal background checks at point of purchase don't already give them access to that information? The good thing about a license system, particularly the way Canada does it, is that there's no electronic pingback from the gun store. Nobody in any central repository can know what you're buying, when, or how much; it's the person at the counter who determines eligibility to buy when they eyeball your licence.
I find these videos interesting. The topics are pretty skewed when it comes to politics but at least I'm not listening to Ted Nugent talk about a "subhuman mongrel." However, I've been quite struck by Chad. He's very quiet, which isn't a great thing when it comes to being in front of a camera. On top of that the 10-15 second long stares into the lens with eyes that make me think he's killed several people is a little unsettling. Barry was an interesting dude, animated. Chad's like a gargoyle. I mean, he seems like an okay guy and everything but for the love of god, work on some gimmick to not stare creepily into the camera with a face like f*cking thunder. I've seen corpses with more animation on YNC. Something to consider, anyway.
Conner Emer that look you are referring to is what happens when a warrior who has seen things most people can't even imagine in their darkest nightmares. It's the cost that he has been willing to pay for your freedom. Be glad he is one of the good guys.
William Kennison I've seen some shit myself. I wasn't in a war zone but I have used a gun and I have seen what happens when someone is shot in the head. I don't know if Chad is an actual veteran himself, but if so, cool. Still an unsettling stare.
William Kennison Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm not a soldier and never have been. I'm a civilian. That being said, I would've liked to have been in the military. Perhaps if my life was different I could've been. Anyway, I don't want anyone to make the mistake of assuming I was in the military, I wasn't.
Conner Emer sorry for the mistake I'll give you props for setting that straight. That being said, there are different levels of troops, shooters, support and those that go beyond the average shooter/ HOG. Anyone that has had another human in their sights to have to fire in war have to give up a certain part of themself in dealing with the necessity of their actions. People who don't understand this or haven't been there have no idea of what they deal with but it does show on us that have.
I graduated in 1988. My High School band is modeled after the Coldstream Guard. The rifles the color guard used were British 303 rifles with the firing pins removed. Otherwise, they were fully functional. Guess what? No one ever got shot. AND we also have a .22 cal rifle team that's still in service.
Shame on You! I am an educator in NJ...Active Hunter, NRA member, Advocate for trained ARMED school professionals (security, teachers, ect.). Please research Educational Law before you post a video like this. This video is a Detriment to what us Pro 2nd amendment educators are working for...and I live and work in NJ!!! Feel free to respond. BTW I love the channel and I highly recommend almost all of your videos, so when I say shame on YOU I mean it. This video could be used against what we are working towards. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do more research before posting a video regarding schools and "2A" like this.
Back in middle school, I had a 1911 BB spring-loader. I drew a picture of it to show my friends what it looks like because, y'know, you're not supposed to bring those into the school. It says so in the rulebook here in NYC. Later on the book I drew it in went missing. Turns out the teacher saw me showing it to my friend, took it while I wasn't looking, and later called me into the counselors' office with the principle and my mother already there.
In the 10 ring as usual guys. My JROTC unit had fully functional M14s as well. I was on the drill team as well as the Honor Guard Firing Squad. For drill practice the cage was opened and we grabbed a rifle and headed to the gym or outside, just us cadets. Anyone of us could have brought ammo for them, but no one ever did. The school also had an indoor range where we'd go shoot .22 bolties pretty much whenever we wanted (with supervision of course).
I live in a city in Saskatchewan, Canada and I am going to do my damnedest to get my school an R.OT.C. Program, you raised a great point we are future military personnel, and whatnot so we need to learn that (as you said), "Guns aren't evil, people are!" And I could not agree more
In my high school I made a pistol case for my final project in my tech class, this year and I had a multitude of teachers helping me scale a picture of a ruger 22/45. My school also has a archery team that we bring in our own bows. Iv also have had a few instances where I my pistol holster, accidentally still clipped on my back pack from hiking and no one said a thing (actually I had a few compliments on my choice of holster). Now that I'm writing this stuff down I'm actually surprised on how nice my school is on this stuff.
When I was a junior in high school, I liked to draw a lot, and I would do so of course in class, like a normal high school student. I would in fact often draw guns, and I had never in all my years of in-school drawing received any gripe from any teachers at all until one day in ROTC, where the Major saw me drawing a rifle (A Type 99 Arisaka) and, for the first time, by the ROTC leader, I was told not to draw guns. My school also had a shooting team which participated in competitions. That boggles my mind still to this day.
WELL!! When I was in Jr. High I had my 1st NRA Safe Hunter Class in the cafeteria. When I was in High School I lived in the country and the school was about 1 mile away, I would hunt on the way to school, sometimes meeting up with the principal, also hunting, he was after quail and I for rabbit. At school, he would secure our firearms in his office. May I add, he was a retired Navy UDT (frogman).
I live in Australia and I know the way it works here is you apply for a licence and then you do a range safety course and a psychological evaluation if you want a pistol and that limits most of our problems
When I was in high school in BFE Pennsylvania we brought our guns in our trucks and had them in the gun racks during deer season...That was 1998 when I graduated!
I have heard them wording it like not allowing anything that promotes a weapon but I consider a sword more of a weapon than a gun but they probably wouldn't care if you have sword on your shirt
When I was in college, we had a fellow student who was also a police officer and he came to class in uniform with a gun on his holster. When he was out of uniform, he had a hand gun in his back pack. He even made that open knowledge and no one cared. Not even the campus police cared.
Takes me back to my JROTC years when I was issued a Springfield 1903 still intact. I was able to dry fire the rifle for the 2 years I was in the program. I thought it was cool and not one second did I think about bringing some 30-06 ammo. I'm glad this rifle was issued to a stable-minded person and not some nut-job.
I graduated June 6th and for my senior cba class room based assignment my topic was anit/pro guns and i listed the same types of topics in my school paper thanks for helping me prove my points.
you guys keep hitting the nail on the head with a frying pan. as a Canadian i have an even harder time trying to get the guns are not weapons unless used as one. a channel that is good in Canada is tactical advantage that guy is very good and informative
At my school here in Texas most of the teachers carry. We were even told if the teacher does not think they could protect us in a "shooting situation" , then a student can take up the right to defend his or her's class.
At my school I did a science project on the penetration of 45 cap with ballistic gel and brought the gel and live bullets to school and everyone loved it
Our drill rifles now are made by daisy but the older ones are m19803 Springfield with the action welded shut the bottom of the barrel cut with a plasma cutter down the length then barrel filled with lead
I took my hunters safety in 7th grade, in an outdoor education class and we shot a .22 in the classroom at a steel target trap! This was in Ft.Collins Colorado in 1986. Colorado will never see this again. It's sad that kids are no longer taught to be responsible and respectful of firearms at a young age.
The M1 rifles we had in JROTC had the chamber welded shut, bolt face welded up, the nut on the gas block welded on and a weld was put on the receiver so that the bolt assembly couldnt be removed. I graduated in 2006. We had resource officers in all public schools in this area. They were sheriffs deputies or local PD, usually 2 at the school at any given time. I always felt fairly safe knowing that 2 armed and uniformed law enforcement officers were on site to handle and bad situations. They did everything from brake up fights to serve as first responders during medical emergencies. Id say there was atleast 1 kid a year that was saved at school by the ROs because they were able to immediately respond to emergencies, usually medical/allergy related, where otherwise that kid could have died. If not for them there would be a long wait for help because the teachers were untrained, unprepared and usually panicked. I like the idea of allowing teachers to carry and I like the idea of allowing college students who are of age to carry while at school. I would also like to see a system put in place where no one can get into a school who isnt supposed to be there. Once school has started, lock it down. No one comes in without ID, authorization and escort. Remove schools as an easy and viable target. You never see nutjob shooters going for hard targets, they always choose the path of least resistance, It wouldnt be hard to implement in its simplest form, lock the doors.
I worked with a guy who during the 60's went to high school in New York City and the rifle team would pack up their .22 rifles and take the subway to the indoor range.
i think for colleges, you should be able to open carry AFTER you go to a range with an official and have them evaluate how you handle it, and AFTER you see a therapist and have them evaluate your mentality
I can remember that through out all schools we were shooting from 4.5mm air guns, since i was a child. But, now kids dont shoot anymore even from airguns..
my school doesn't even have an air rifle team... rotc members are sent to the other high school's air rifle team. I'm going to try to get some of my friends in rotc to talk their superiors into convincing my principal to allow more shooting sports to be open to anyone. I'm n archery rn and I want to get more into .22lr competitions
I appreciate your videos and I feel like you guys view things from a more open minded point of view. I am pro gun and it only takes looking at the comments to realize how close minded and uneducated people really are. I appreciate you guys doing your homework and looking at things from a factual and educated point of view. Keep up the good work and if I'm ever on that side of the country I'm gonna have to stop by thank you
When I was in high school, way back in the early 70's (that's the 1970's by the way for the benefit of recent high school graduates) my brother and I would build a full size diorama about hunting safety that included a functional shotgun, and a mannequin laying in the leaves and small limbs we used with an obvious GSW on the exterior clothing (an old hunting jacket of mine). We of course did this with the full support and blessing of the Principle and faculty advisors. It was always a big hit and lots of class mates learned from it. Who knows, maybe we even saved a life or serious injury. Sadly, there is exactly zero chance that kind of display (ie education) would be allowed today.
When I was in 9th grade, I was wearing a necklace that had a useless .223 round on it (it was a projectile on a spent casing with a hole drilled in it, no powder, no primer) and I wore that the first couple weeks, no problems, some saw and complimented me on it, then one day this teacher, I wasn't taking any of her classes, said that she had to take it and i could get it from the principal at the end of the day because the school dress code said we can't have any references to violence.
When I was in school, I graduated in 2001 we were able to take the first day of deer season off without being counted as absent!! That was Mathews Local School in Vienna Ohio. Were also a very small community, I graduated with 90 some people in my class. Two townships goes to Mathews Fowler twp, Vienna twp. I live In Fowler still and own 64.8 acres and use to go hunting but now I don't.
Totally agree with the ambassador comment. It does not help things to stoop to their level. Remain calm speak politely and stick to facts and you can't go wrong. Your definitely right on how sensitive a subject guns and schools is. keep up the good work. PS the gun gripes is still up there for content and coverage.
One of my teachers told me I wasn't allowed to wear one of your shirts (the get out of my damn trench one) because it showed a gun he said it was against the dress code and "it's as bad as clothing depicting drugs or alcohol." I let it slide, but I made sure to read through the dress code and found nothing of this sort, I even asked the vice principal who said it was fine to wear (even with the wording on it). I called my teacher on his bluff in the middle of class and he told me it associated me with violent acts. Most of the class came to my defense, calling him biased and calling him out for basically making assumptions about gun owners. I think my class stood up for our rights pretty well, for California kids anyways.
soquel high school actually
Dosh this is why teacher tenure is bullshit. I have a teacher who attacked me for supporting Trump, then half the class completely stopped talking to me because of the fact that I am a Trump supporter. That fucking asshole teacher completely fucked up that entire year in that class for me. When I complained to the school about it, they basically said there was nothing they could do about him because of the Tenure.
When I was in grade 10 , I Had the school in lock down because of me.. .. ..
6 cop cars and like 10 cops searched my locker for a hand gun when I was in a class , then they had a little chat with me.
That's what I get for talking about my Custom FA BB guns in school.
And of course I never had anything on me or my locker besides like 10 knives.
Why would you have multiple knives in your locker regardless? That seems stupid regardless of the politics of it.
Owen Thompson I was running a online knife store as a part time job.
Some times I would bring samples to show ppl.
Knives in school was ok as long as they did not have more then a 4" blade.
***** genuise
Im in 11th grade and talk about guns eith my teachers lol i went hunting with my biology teacher(chick) and one kid has a gun rack in his truck even eith guns in it parket st the school parking lot
when i was age 7 living in north Idaho along the Canada border my parents gave me a 410/22 over under savage. i proved to handle the hunting rifle so i was given that. plus i explored allot and my wolf could protect me so much against wild life.. i needed a bang stick to scare away any wildlife cat or bear mainly..but never had to use it for that. i had a good dog.. im 37 now times have changed.
The guy on the right made a great point. Don't send your kids to a government school.
I hate how the only government-run buildings I walk into without bullet proof windows is a school.
. . . Sudden realization that maybe a bunch of dim-witted politicians care more about themselves while they sit there and do nothing more than they care about the safety of the future people of the US. . . . . . .
Yup, that's America for you.
at the point when you have to have bulletproof windows all over the place your country is doing something wrong
Well there's always gonna be psychos. Some people and places are bigger targets than others. Political representatives, and any people who are in a gun free zone. Your best option to running into that scenario is to stay away from both, the way I see it. Unfortunately I don't have that advantage of being away from a gun free zone as nearly all of CA with the exception of your house is a gun free zone. And let me tell you, if I checked the local news right now, I would hear nothing but gangs warring and people being stabbed and shot. Probably gangs, but still, others are hit every other shooting it seems. But hey, that gun free zone is suuuuurely reducing crime right? Ha. I can't wait to be out of here.
***** I've never heard of a school shooting where the shooter shot through windows at children. It sounds nice and all, but I doubt bullet proof windows would actually help, the shooter always walks into the school (which they leave open for anyone to come in) and blasts it up, not from the outside shooting in. The best thing schools could do, in my opinion, is have an everyday "lockdown" I guess you could call it. Nobody goes in or out without planning it at least a day ahead of time with the school staff. It would help keep the creepers away from kids as well as a shooter, if that was ever needed, rather than just leaving the front doors open for some criminal to come in and try to take a kid or whatever. I see the fire hazard issue, so maybe have the hallway doors that can only be opened on the inside when you push them, the kind that can't be pulled from the outside (sorry if you don't know what I mean, most schools have them though, but don't use them.)
During the 80's when I was in high school in Alaska, students would routinely bring hunting rifles or shotguns to school & store them in their lockers so they could go out hunting right after school. It was common for students to have rifle/shotguns in gun racks in their trucks parked in the school parking lot. Our principal Sid or the teachers would usually make a comment like "nice gun!" I think that every guy in high school had a knife - it was just normal. I think that the worst thing that ever happened was that every now and then there would be fist fight. The teachers would break up the fight and make the students shake hands afterwards.
I'm sure that things have changed now. It think it started under Clinton with the "Zero Tolerance" crap.
A few years ago, Sid passed away while duck hunting. He was found sitting on a log, he had shot a duck, he had his pipe in his hand, and his dog was sitting nearby guarding him. If you gotta go, that's not a bad way. It's too bad that they don't make teachers like Sid anymore.
The dude on the right has the meanest poker face I have ever seen. lol
Its like he is peering directly into your soul.
In regards to the description we do have an active shooter drill it's called "go sit in the corner with the lights off and the door locked in a useless attempt to trick them into thinking you're not there"
yeah thats not a good plan but its a start, a start to what exactly im not sure but some one needs to continue on with that plan because its not even in its infancy yet
Next weekend I have a chance to be an ambassador to our sport. I am taking a Japanese friend from work to the gun range. I told him I would let him shoot the AK-47, his eyes lit up and he was like "REALLY!?" Uh, yea man, really really.
Teach him that they everybody who enjoys those types of rifles are not going to mow people down when they get a chance.
Keith Richards liver Absolutely, and safety being the first lesson. I will probably need to explain why we need these kinds of rifles and use North Korea as an example.
We need an update. Did your friend enjoy shooting the AK? What was his thoughts?
USNVA He loved it, we brought out several types of weapons. A shotgun two pistols and the AK. He brought another Japanese co worker and we worked on safety first with the ruger 22/45 then moved up the line from there. I had an old sears bolt action 20 gauge that they seemed to like the most, probably because it made the soda bottles explode the best.
Same here bro. Last 4th of July I took my friend, who hasnt shot a gun in his life, to the range and after that he's planning on getting a Glock 17 because of me
My friend got expelled for a week just because on his school computer (that he was required to pay for) had Don't tread on me wallpapers/ pro gun etc wallpapers, and had visited online gun stores. He also wore pro 2nd amendment shirts that they made him change. Everyone, at least in high schools around here are a bunch lame, trendy, alcoholic, drug addict, losers, who are completely brain washed and brain dead sheep. It's like you talk about guns, you're automatically evil. Hate the people around here.
Oh I'll add that not anywhere in their rules did it say he couldn't have that stuff on his computer.
Nice obviously made up story.
How would you know Cave Johnson?
Cave Johnson Lol really? Ok yeah fuck you....
What a well thought out response. In the Royal Navy there is a term, "You flash, you loose" And you just lost.
Public education is just not best way to raise the next generation. They need to be taught reality instead of agendas.
I graduated 2 years ago, I was sent to the office for having an American Flag on my shirt...because it "offends other nationalities"...schools are going to far.
I have a friend who wears an NRA shirt to school every week, and i frequently wear my hat. I live in New Jersey, and my friend and I have yet to get in trouble, because we don't put up with these lousy anti gun rules that the school comes up with, and our teachers know we will defend ourselves. I wish everyone did stuff like we did, we've gotten tons of other kids to wear stuff like that to school.
I am a college professor, and I'm not sure how I feel about carrying on campus. It's a mixed bag for me, but I'm open to the idea. I do, however, think that firearms training / sportsmanship should be offered in colleges and high schools.... and I think we need to bring back civics into the classroom.
A friend of mine was shot on a college Campus, and it's shit like that that just makes the case for having guns on school ground that much stronger
I think we need a gun gripes episode on all these people in Texas who are open carrying and getting gun owners booted out of stores/restaurants.
Those are the retards that make pro gun people look bad.
Kippy
Exactly, Thats why I'm thinking we need a Gun Gripes on it.
Open carry is legal in many states and those who are not aware, need to be made aware that this IS legal, but open carrying an AR is just plain idiotic. A small handgun like a Shield or even a 1911 CMD in a snug fitting holster, I can see that being just fine, but carrying rifles???? Those are the nut jobs who might destroy the rights we are fighting to keep.
pickin4you I agree, I had this discussion with a friend of mine the other day. Just because you have the right to carry a rifle, doesn't mean you should. Carrying a handgun, in a nonchalant manner and answering a persons questions looks much better than walking in a store with an AR 15 hanging on your chest. Even as a concealed carry holder myself, seeing an open carried AR makes me a bit nervous.
As a Texas resident I find it crazy that you can open carry AR's, AK's and shotguns but you can't open carry handguns. hell you can get into trouble if your hand gun prints or is accidentally exposed if your concealed carrying.
my school has a clause in the handbook that says something along the lines of "at the digression of the principal" meaning literally we can get in trouble for everything the principal doesn't agree on. it's a load of crap and tyrannical as far as i see it
Discretion?
Thank god 90% of my teachers and principals are pro gun
My sons asked me, " Dad did you take guns to school" I said yes I graduated in 1987, we had shotguns, rifles, during hunting season in our vehicles not in school buildings. Teachers knew it so did the principal, had ZERO issues. The police station was 1 block down the street, cops never said a word. Damn I miss the old days!!!!!!
I went to school in pa and used to have my shotgun and rifle in my car at all times during hunting seasons. I raduated in 2006 and none of my teachers cared either we even got the first day of doe and buck season off of school to hunt.
Yeah ,I hear you.A lot has changed and not for the better either. It's really getting to the point of stupidity isn't it?
Eric the fact that u included gay ppl in standing up for their rights too, makes me just love u guys even more... Great video guys...
+ryan novak
>discussing human rights
>hitler profile picture
+ryan novak then why re you being one
Most people would say I'm a social liberal in every way other than guns and public decency so watching y'all's videos is incredibly refreshing. While y'all's personal political beliefs may be more conservative than mine, the fact that you are objective, polite and fair regarding differing opinions (other than guns of course) really makes your channel easily one of my favorites and appropriately "politically correct". Keep up the good work guys!
Eric is sun burnt as hell.
Ya they got this thing called the sun down in Georgia there. I know you cananadins wouldn't know much about that huh lol.
DAMN! LOL! That looks like it hurts a little.
Chris Loyd
I know how you feel. I'm in Minnesota and my blood is too thick for 85 degree weather lol. I miss winter :(
Georgia summers!
Chris Loyd LOL, 89 degrees is hot? Well, at least I know you live in Canada!
My daughters school did a Veteran's day assembly the day before Veterans day this year. As a vet(Marine Corps), they did something very unique. They sang the song for each branch, which I thought was very cool. How ever, go get to my point, they skipped a few versus from the Marine's hymn because it says, "fought in every climb and place where we could take a gun." That right there, damn near ruined it for me.
"Gun free zone? I better take my gun and go home." - Said no killer ever
More like: "Fresh Meat!"
Last year my brother and his friends were assigned to make any kind of film they wanted for their media class, so they decided to get together and make a walking dead style film with zombies in the woods near our house. They had airsoft guns on their belts as props, which where never fired or even drawn in the whole movie. The next day he went to school and the teacher let him show his flim, but held all of them after class, apparently to let them know that "guns represent violence" and that she would call all their parents and tell on them, I guess. What happened next was priceless. She called my dad, and apparently had it on speakerphone, and told them about how they had "inappropriate props" in their movie which had been supplied by my brother (and one was mine, I think that he borrowed). And my brother said my dad just went into hysterics on the phone, laughing so much he was choking for air. Reeducation sounds exactly right. And to his teachers dismay, nobody involved got in trouble. Yes this is in CA, in case nobody else knew by now. 😂
I got in trouble for owning Airsoft Guns. Yep. Airsoft guns. My school found out and they call the cops and they seized 'em. Funny thing is that I didn't bring the gun to school at all.
You should've sued.
I wish but I spent all my money on those Airsoft guns.
That is completely illegal. You wouldn't even need any money to sue just 33% of the lawsuit would have went to the lawyer.
cobra64th21 Oh really I knew. I knew that the school can't have my stuff taken away just like that.
Fucking fascists.
My schools, from elementary - highschool, all had armed security in the form of local police officers that stay in the school during school hours then act like normal cops otherwise. When there was a threat of some sort there would be two or three, and it only made everyone feel safe. There was never a single tragedy in any of those three schools.
It really has changed. I went to a inner city school we had armed Police in my schools and this was back in the early 90s. I had teachers that were avid outdoorsman and would swap hunting tips and fishing tips. Heck my Biology teacher get me into reloading. Now days that would never fly.
not all schools nowdays in some places their is still the same responsible behavior
I am 15 and our school has a shotgun, rifle and archery team. We got second at state competition in North Carolina. I am on both the rifle and shotgun team. We were barely recognized in our school when we got second. I love what y'all are doing.
When I was a kid we would bring our guns to school and keep them in our car. After school we would go shooting with the social studies and shop teacher almost every Wed.
My drivers ed. teacher during the school year taught at a Native American reservation where things could possibly get a little "crazy". She was about 5'2'' and 300lbs and she carried a 9mm beretta in her purse at all times. One of the coolest ladies I've ever met.
I learn and discuss a lot about firearms history with my friends in school :-)
I graduated from high school in 2005 in a small hick town in New Hampshire. During hunting season, guys would go hunting in the morning before school and then come to school afterwards. Their hunting rifles would be in their trucks in the parking lot all day and we NEVER once had a problem.
The problem didn't start overnight, and I don't think it'll get fixed overnight either. I think it's a growing psychological weakness in the younger generation who feel a great sense of entitlement, and has a harder time dealing with rejection and losing. People talk about mental illness, but I think it's society losing its grip on raising children to be responsible adults. Whatever legislation that can be invented to stop school shootings will only be a band-aid remedy to try to mask the symptoms of a deeper problem. But I gotta say that that sign at 10:50 would definitely make any psycho or criminal scum-bag choose a different target. LOL
In Jr. High last year we had an elective for Gun safety and the exposure to that class and the trips we took to the firing range really made me appreciate and respect the power of firearms and since them i've studied to get ready for any licenses I need
I would just put armed cops in the schools just like they do on a college campus.
they already do
***** True
Also all schools have a gate and most of them never close the gate, their should be a perimeter made same as a base; police force response to back up the first responders in the schools who are backed up by the perimeter guard.
guards are also part of the society
, im not gonna stand at a school for a even a hour so we need a job so people can do just that, everyone armed is key but everyone is not trained even if your shotgun is in your truck
I agree that society should be able to arm themselves. Idk what high schools you guys went to but my county in Maryland had fat ass security guards who didnt do anything and had no kind of weapons.
I work at Walmart in the Sporting Goods section. The other day, this little guy about 20 years old was looking at some 20 gauge shells. I asked him if he needed some help, he said that he just bought a 20 gauge and would like to buy some home defense rounds. I light bulb went on in my head lol I started teaching the guy what he needs to use in his home for home defense, the shells he should shoot for just plinking and having fun, I also taught him about regulations in the area about hunting animals with a 20 gauge etc... Anyway the guy was very thankful, at least I thought so. He told me this was his first gun, so I was very excited to teach a new shooter the ropes.
Im gonna wear a gun shirt to school this year and see their reactions
So am i
I'm wearing an hk or bushmaster shirt
perfectbonzia124 me too. I want to get an NRA shirt.
In the High School I went to, we had an Air Force JROTC program, and when I started out our drill rifles were Demilitarized M1 Garands. If you look at it across the room, you wouldn't be able to tell that it had a steel rod welded in the barrel and had the firing pin removed. Because we were allowed to use these, we went through a 2 hour training course on how to handle firearms properly. We learned proper gun control and to control the Muzzle, Action, and Trigger, and then how to clear the weapons. These rifles were later switched out with Demilitarized Springfields, but the training remained the same.
We didn't have a rifle team like Eric was talking about, but we did have an air rifle team and competed on a national level against other JROTC programs. We went through 6 hours of training on how to use the rifles properly and had to take a 50 question test on safety and use of the rifle before we were allowed to touch them. We even had a 10 meter air rifle range in the school building. Of course our instructor went though training as a range officer and there was a lot more safety involved, but there were no accidents or even thought of doing something foolish with the rifles.
I think we don't have a control problem with guns, we have an education problem. If more schools taught things that would be useful to not only be a good student, but to be a good citizen, we would not have any where near as many problems as we do today. We focus too much time and effort into making sure all students take pre-calculus and a watered down general health class and can pass all the tests that the state requires, that we don't teach them how to think for themselves or teach them how to be adults who know how to follow the laws (that aren't taught in schools) and know how to file their taxes or balance a budget. That's just my 2 cents.
So glad I went to public school 25 years ago when officials and teachers were a lot more tolerant. I don't have kids, but if I did, they would be private taught for sure. This common core crap is designed to stupify, I swear.
Yep, we homeschool our kids, fuck the public fool system
The high school I attended was a gun free zone, but in the early 80's this same school had a GUN CLUB. Kids actually brought their 22 rifles to school, rode the bus with them in a case. That shows you how the mentality has changed, and no there were never any shootings.
I can't even talk about guns in my school they tried to to tell me there evil I haven't bought any of there bull crap and I feel less safe with the gun free sign on all the doors and it's a real pain in the butt.
should have told them evil is a religious word and get them on the religion in school crap lol
When I was in middle school in Michigan during the late 1980's, hunter safety was a required part of the science curriculum. Everyone had to take it. We learned ethics, hunting practices and gun safety. We had an Air Force base nearby and had kids from all over the world, from the city and from rural areas. Everyone was fine and had no qualms about learning about this stuff. Kids enjoyed it. How times have changed.
Did you know There a few Kindergartens in Australia Now are making the Kids who bring Their Toy Guns to have a gun license I'm not Bullshiting check it out!
Sent to the principals office for a tee shirt with an AR on it!! That's crazy I'm glad that your son stood up for himself
You say "...students are the citizens...", I may be getting older now, but late 90's, early 2000's, students were not citizens; they were subjects.
You're right. Most teachers treated kids like shit too.
Student are definitely subjects, I
speak from experience.
I love how in every video chad is always staring right into any viewer's soul.
Well. 3 of my now ex girlfriends used to be staunch left wing anti gunners... Now all 3 are ccw permit holders who carry daily... Done my part and will keep educating...
back in elementary school they made me turn my shirt inside out because i had a paintball gun on it. which was weird to me at the time cause i was notorious for having a huge interest in guns and the military (of course way before i decided to take the music route). In middle school, a teacher (who wasn't even my teacher) gave me a detention cause I liked to draw guns (not shooting anyone or anything, just drawing the gun and its details). Schools suck
My high school is pro gun I'm on the rifle team
Support that school. Schools need to have teams involved in shooting sports.
Tinker v. Des Moines School Dist (1969) "Students do not loose their rights at the schoolhouse door. By a 7/2 vote, the Court held that school officials cannot censor student speech unless school officials reasonably forecast that the speech will cause a material and substantial disruption of school activities or collide with the rights of others. Mere apprehension of disturbance or an offense given is not enough."
yeah please dont send your children to the government indoctrination facility, be a real parent and teach your kids how to love learning and love individuality and freedom
I'm a little late with this comment but in my junior year of high school (going on my 3rd year of college now) I'm proud to say I was in a criminal justice vocational class here in Indiana and although it was off school property we got to shoot funs during school time including glocks, ar15s, and shotguns it was awesome and I'm proud of my school for offering such a great course
Today target has asked for a gun free stores nation wide :(((
At least they already have a bulls eye in place.
I told my wife today that we will no longer be shopping at Target for that very reason. She was not happy. But Target just put all their customers and employees in danger by advertising no guns in their stores.
Jess James And the perfect name because that is what their employees and customers will be a walking TARGET!
You guys are being silly. Target did not ask for gun free stores, they made an arbitrary statement to get those annoying and arrogant fucks from Everytown for Police State Control to leave them alone. There is no change in policy. Go ahead and CC or OC in Target, they have no policy against it.
But OC is still pretty bad when CC is a viable option.
redfed0 Thanks for pointing that out.
My band director is on the volunteer SWAT team and we have this big conspiracy theory that he keeps a Glock in his file drawer and an AR 15 in his SUV.
In the violin case, duh
i wore a NRA shirt the other day to school
no
When I was in middle school we were talking about zombies and the teacher told me what would I do if their were a zombie attack I told her "I would shot all the zombies with a gun, common sense." 5 min later the principal came to me and threaten me that if i don't tell him where I have a gun he would call the cops and search my house i said "ok search my house" true story p.s the only time I was sent to the principal's office was for a food fight with a group of friends but other then that I always get A's and B's I was even a conflict manger in elementary lol
I doubt there are any public schools that still have rifle teams that use actual firearms.
My old high school still does! www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=butlerrifleteam
We don't have a rifle team but we have a trap team.....
I am proud to say my high school still has a team.
Xof Wolley Brad Brown Tuton25
Nice, i'm jealous of you all. I live in Washington state and even though we have pretty decent gun laws, we are a super liberal state and I can't even imagine a public school having a shooting team here.
Xof Wolley
I live in California, and there isn't a gun team for MILES!!!
Could not agree more with both of you. Growing up in New York State, I graduated from a high school that gave courses in firearms. The class taught gun safety in hunting and range work. Our classes and range work were held in the basement of our high school. When we brought a shotgun or rifle to school, we checked it in at the office before going to class. Yes, this was a very long time ago. Yes, I'm an old fart, yes, there are others who remember the same and should also comment, and yes, times have changed and not necessarily for the good. Keep up the good work in getting the word out!
Just a dumb suggestion:
How bout US makes that you can only get a gun after having a license but before acquiring a license you have to pass a gun exams like how you get driving license in the UK...
well, that would lead to a registry, and then the feds, when they decide to take guns, would know where the gun owners are, or they could decide that next to nobody can get a license, or if you got so much as a jay walking ticket that you couldn't have one
They DO know where all the criminals (disqualified from owning firearms) located because their possession of all the criminal records. Why not take their guns away. Just a dumb question because it's not like anyone wants to violate a right that those criminals lost right? No, Instead let's ban guns from the law abiding...
Yeah because now absolutely no one dies from traffic fatalities
feralbigdog As if that huge repository of Form 4473's and the endless electronic requests for criminal background checks at point of purchase don't already give them access to that information? The good thing about a license system, particularly the way Canada does it, is that there's no electronic pingback from the gun store. Nobody in any central repository can know what you're buying, when, or how much; it's the person at the counter who determines eligibility to buy when they eyeball your licence.
jsm666 I didn't know that you can get a license without it being registered.
You brought gun gripes back?!, how could I missed them. These will all be a treat to watch, thank you. Barry would be proud :)
I find these videos interesting. The topics are pretty skewed when it comes to politics but at least I'm not listening to Ted Nugent talk about a "subhuman mongrel." However, I've been quite struck by Chad. He's very quiet, which isn't a great thing when it comes to being in front of a camera. On top of that the 10-15 second long stares into the lens with eyes that make me think he's killed several people is a little unsettling. Barry was an interesting dude, animated. Chad's like a gargoyle. I mean, he seems like an okay guy and everything but for the love of god, work on some gimmick to not stare creepily into the camera with a face like f*cking thunder. I've seen corpses with more animation on YNC. Something to consider, anyway.
Conner Emer that look you are referring to is what happens when a warrior who has seen things most people can't even imagine in their darkest nightmares. It's the cost that he has been willing to pay for your freedom. Be glad he is one of the good guys.
William Kennison I've seen some shit myself. I wasn't in a war zone but I have used a gun and I have seen what happens when someone is shot in the head. I don't know if Chad is an actual veteran himself, but if so, cool. Still an unsettling stare.
Conner Emer ok troop, there's a certain fraternity that you just have to be part of to understand it. Thanks for your service in whatever capacity..
William Kennison Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm not a soldier and never have been. I'm a civilian. That being said, I would've liked to have been in the military. Perhaps if my life was different I could've been. Anyway, I don't want anyone to make the mistake of assuming I was in the military, I wasn't.
Conner Emer sorry for the mistake I'll give you props for setting that straight. That being said, there are different levels of troops, shooters, support and those that go beyond the average shooter/ HOG. Anyone that has had another human in their sights to have to fire in war have to give up a certain part of themself in dealing with the necessity of their actions. People who don't understand this or haven't been there have no idea of what they deal with but it does show on us that have.
I graduated in 1988. My High School band is modeled after the Coldstream Guard. The rifles the color guard used were British 303 rifles with the firing pins removed. Otherwise, they were fully functional. Guess what? No one ever got shot. AND we also have a .22 cal rifle team that's still in service.
Shame on You! I am an educator in NJ...Active Hunter, NRA member, Advocate for trained ARMED school professionals (security, teachers, ect.). Please research Educational Law before you post a video like this. This video is a Detriment to what us Pro 2nd amendment educators are working for...and I live and work in NJ!!! Feel free to respond. BTW I love the channel and I highly recommend almost all of your videos, so when I say shame on YOU I mean it. This video could be used against what we are working towards. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do more research before posting a video regarding schools and "2A" like this.
The fuck are you spazzing about?
I didn't hear anything improper in the video at all.
Get a grip.
Really!? What are you flipping out about? Did I miss something? I heard nothing that could harm our rights.
You're an educator? What happened to proper punctuation and grammar? I call troll and shenanigans.
Time to review, rethink, and edit your posting.
Back in middle school, I had a 1911 BB spring-loader. I drew a picture of it to show my friends what it looks like because, y'know, you're not supposed to bring those into the school. It says so in the rulebook here in NYC.
Later on the book I drew it in went missing. Turns out the teacher saw me showing it to my friend, took it while I wasn't looking, and later called me into the counselors' office with the principle and my mother already there.
Public school isn't only about learning, it's also about social interaction...Homeschooling takes a lot of that away.
In the 10 ring as usual guys.
My JROTC unit had fully functional M14s as well. I was on the drill team as well as the Honor Guard Firing Squad. For drill practice the cage was opened and we grabbed a rifle and headed to the gym or outside, just us cadets. Anyone of us could have brought ammo for them, but no one ever did.
The school also had an indoor range where we'd go shoot .22 bolties pretty much whenever we wanted (with supervision of course).
My school apparently used to have an ROTC, not anymore, but at least they had enough sense to put a guy with a gun in the school
I live in a city in Saskatchewan, Canada and I am going to do my damnedest to get my school an R.OT.C. Program, you raised a great point we are future military personnel, and whatnot so we need to learn that (as you said), "Guns aren't evil, people are!" And I could not agree more
In my high school I made a pistol case for my final project in my tech class, this year and I had a multitude of teachers helping me scale a picture of a ruger 22/45. My school also has a archery team that we bring in our own bows. Iv also have had a few instances where I my pistol holster, accidentally still clipped on my back pack from hiking and no one said a thing (actually I had a few compliments on my choice of holster). Now that I'm writing this stuff down I'm actually surprised on how nice my school is on this stuff.
When I graduated in 1994 we still had people that had gun racks with rifles in their trucks. We were all hunters in a rural community.
When I was a junior in high school, I liked to draw a lot, and I would do so of course in class, like a normal high school student. I would in fact often draw guns, and I had never in all my years of in-school drawing received any gripe from any teachers at all until one day in ROTC, where the Major saw me drawing a rifle (A Type 99 Arisaka) and, for the first time, by the ROTC leader, I was told not to draw guns. My school also had a shooting team which participated in competitions. That boggles my mind still to this day.
WELL!! When I was in Jr. High I had my 1st NRA Safe Hunter Class in the cafeteria.
When I was in High School I lived in the country and the school was about 1 mile away, I would hunt on the way to school, sometimes meeting up with the principal, also hunting, he was after quail and I for rabbit. At school, he would secure our firearms in his office. May I add, he was a retired Navy UDT (frogman).
I was in AFJROTC in high school. We had M1 Garand's; the firing pin was removed and a metal rod was welded into the barrel.
I live in Australia and I know the way it works here is you apply for a licence and then you do a range safety course and a psychological evaluation if you want a pistol and that limits most of our problems
When I was in high school in BFE Pennsylvania we brought our guns in our trucks and had them in the gun racks during deer season...That was 1998 when I graduated!
I have heard them wording it like not allowing anything that promotes a weapon but I consider a sword more of a weapon than a gun but they probably wouldn't care if you have sword on your shirt
When I was in college, we had a fellow student who was also a police officer and he came to class in uniform with a gun on his holster. When he was out of uniform, he had a hand gun in his back pack. He even made that open knowledge and no one cared. Not even the campus police cared.
Takes me back to my JROTC years when I was issued a Springfield 1903 still intact. I was able to dry fire the rifle for the 2 years I was in the program. I thought it was cool and not one second did I think about bringing some 30-06 ammo. I'm glad this rifle was issued to a stable-minded person and not some nut-job.
I graduated from George P. Butler High School - in Augusta, GA, in 1975, I took Marine J ROTC and we had those M14a1's.
I graduated June 6th and for my senior cba class room based assignment my topic was anit/pro guns and i listed the same types of topics in my school paper thanks for helping me prove my points.
Congrats to your son for standing his ground...and winning!!
you guys keep hitting the nail on the head with a frying pan. as a Canadian i have an even harder time trying to get the guns are not weapons unless used as one. a channel that is good in Canada is tactical advantage that guy is very good and informative
Jacob stood up for himself and was smart in the method he made his argument. Very impressive stuff from the young bloke!
I know this is kind of off topic, but Chad has gotten so much better on camera. So much more comfortable now. Good job!
He still stares into your sole though.
At my school here in Texas most of the teachers carry. We were even told if the teacher does not think they could protect us in a "shooting situation" , then a student can take up the right to defend his or her's class.
At my school I did a science project on the penetration of 45 cap with ballistic gel and brought the gel and live bullets to school and everyone loved it
Our drill rifles now are made by daisy but the older ones are m19803 Springfield with the action welded shut the bottom of the barrel cut with a plasma cutter down the length then barrel filled with lead
I took my hunters safety in 7th grade, in an outdoor education class and we shot a .22 in the classroom at a steel target trap! This was in Ft.Collins Colorado in 1986. Colorado will never see this again. It's sad that kids are no longer taught to be responsible and respectful of firearms at a young age.
I know this is off topic, but at my school you can't wear tank tops with spaghetti straps (thinner than 1")
The M1 rifles we had in JROTC had the chamber welded shut, bolt face welded up, the nut on the gas block welded on and a weld was put on the receiver so that the bolt assembly couldnt be removed. I graduated in 2006.
We had resource officers in all public schools in this area. They were sheriffs deputies or local PD, usually 2 at the school at any given time. I always felt fairly safe knowing that 2 armed and uniformed law enforcement officers were on site to handle and bad situations. They did everything from brake up fights to serve as first responders during medical emergencies. Id say there was atleast 1 kid a year that was saved at school by the ROs because they were able to immediately respond to emergencies, usually medical/allergy related, where otherwise that kid could have died. If not for them there would be a long wait for help because the teachers were untrained, unprepared and usually panicked.
I like the idea of allowing teachers to carry and I like the idea of allowing college students who are of age to carry while at school. I would also like to see a system put in place where no one can get into a school who isnt supposed to be there. Once school has started, lock it down. No one comes in without ID, authorization and escort. Remove schools as an easy and viable target. You never see nutjob shooters going for hard targets, they always choose the path of least resistance, It wouldnt be hard to implement in its simplest form, lock the doors.
I worked with a guy who during the 60's went to high school in New York City and the rifle team would pack up their .22 rifles and take the subway to the indoor range.
i think for colleges, you should be able to open carry AFTER you go to a range with an official and have them evaluate how you handle it, and AFTER you see a therapist and have them evaluate your mentality
I can remember that through out all schools we were shooting from 4.5mm air guns, since i was a child. But, now kids dont shoot anymore even from airguns..
my school doesn't even have an air rifle team... rotc members are sent to the other high school's air rifle team. I'm going to try to get some of my friends in rotc to talk their superiors into convincing my principal to allow more shooting sports to be open to anyone. I'm n archery rn and I want to get more into .22lr competitions
I appreciate your videos and I feel like you guys view things from a more open minded point of view. I am pro gun and it only takes looking at the comments to realize how close minded and uneducated people really are.
I appreciate you guys doing your homework and looking at things from a factual and educated point of view.
Keep up the good work and if I'm ever on that side of the country I'm gonna have to stop by thank you
When I was in high school, way back in the early 70's (that's the 1970's by the way for the benefit of recent high school graduates) my brother and I would build a full size diorama about hunting safety that included a functional shotgun, and a mannequin laying in the leaves and small limbs we used with an obvious GSW on the exterior clothing (an old hunting jacket of mine). We of course did this with the full support and blessing of the Principle and faculty advisors. It was always a big hit and lots of class mates learned from it. Who knows, maybe we even saved a life or serious injury.
Sadly, there is exactly zero chance that kind of display (ie education) would be allowed today.
Happy to say here at my college we are allowed to conceal carry on campus excluding a few specific areas.
When I was in 9th grade, I was wearing a necklace that had a useless .223 round on it (it was a projectile on a spent casing with a hole drilled in it, no powder, no primer) and I wore that the first couple weeks, no problems, some saw and complimented me on it, then one day this teacher, I wasn't taking any of her classes, said that she had to take it and i could get it from the principal at the end of the day because the school dress code said we can't have any references to violence.
When I was in school, I graduated in 2001 we were able to take the first day of deer season off without being counted as absent!! That was Mathews Local School in Vienna Ohio. Were also a very small community, I graduated with 90 some people in my class. Two townships goes to Mathews Fowler twp, Vienna twp. I live In Fowler still and own 64.8 acres and use to go hunting but now I don't.
Totally agree with the ambassador comment. It does not help things to stoop to their level. Remain calm speak politely and stick to facts and you can't go wrong. Your definitely right on how sensitive a subject guns and schools is. keep up the good work. PS the gun gripes is still up there for content and coverage.
