Everybody knows that if you put one of those tiny Glock keychains into water they grow into full size Glocks. Dangerous little keychains. Aren't they classified a AOWs?
Shit, we gotta make water illegal!
this got me more than it should

Miss Barry. RIP. Learned a lot from you, man. Thank you both.
Barry was the best
I remember when I was young and in grade school, we'd have weekly "show and tell". My turn eventually comes and I decide to bring my Buzz Lightyear figure to class. I got in trouble because of the "laser weapon" that was on it's arm.
Later that year we watched Toy Story in class...
Hahahahah woooow the ignorance of some people...
BakedCd Holy...
Wow My great uncle brought in his new 30-06 to school for show and tell when he was little and no one thought anything of it
at least you only brought in a laser gun, if it was a bread gun you might have been suspended
We used to play with toy guns at school. And in highschool (we had one school for grades 7-1) every single truck in the parking lot had loaded guns, especially during hunting season. In fact I know one guy who had his held for him in the office because he didn't want to leave it in his car.
I had an experience with uncommon sense once. I was playing in the junk yard of my dad's auto shop. I had a very distinct toy revolver in my hand and I was wearing woodland camo, mind you I was only 7 at the time and was around 3.5 ft tall. Some lady calls the police on me and before you know it, I had 6 police cars with roughly 7-10 officers pointing guns at me, one in particular with a shotgun. 1st off, toy gun, 2nd of all I'm a kid who's 3-4 ft tall, and 3rd, private property.
What has this world come to where that's the norm
i got called on by the cops for shooting a pellet gun in my backyard when i was 9
And if those cops shot you it's ok because he was "afraid for his life" meanwhile in Afghanistan "I can't shoot him yet, he hasn't shot at me" referring to a haji screaming Allahu akhbar waving around an ak" i get we need cops but man they need better training or SOMETHING
@@mikereidy9069 Zero tolerance, I call it zero intelligence, and being so woke you know absolutely nothing.
@@mondaysinsanity8193 Sounds like different ROEs, Rules Of Engagement, to me.
Chewed a pop tart into the shape of a 1911. That kids parents deserve an award! What an artist ! 😂
KraBotany amen 🙏
I’ve seen it, it was the shape of Idaho, not a gun.
ROFL
If you kill somebody with a pop tart, does that mean you iced them?
@@aarongreenfield9038 Nah, pop tarts killin' people with diabetes since the 80's but they don't give it a name. "ICE-ing" kids is separating them from their parents and putting them into internment camps.
I miss Barry. I know I don't know him like all you guys do, but I feel like a good man went out.
He was a good man, for sure.
Barry died? Man.. it's been a long time since ive been watching gun stuff.
You would be right me amigo
RIP
Thomas Shue's World 5 years ago man. Seems so shocking
A few months ago, I was at a Walmart at the gun counter just browsing. Then there's two ladies that approach the counter and ask to see one of the 12 gauges. The man behind the counter hands it to her, and the first thing she says to her friend is, "take a picture of me with it!" in my head is said to myself no big deal. Her friend points her camera phone at her ready to take a picture, then her friend aims the shotgun right at her. She's practically taking a picture of the inside of the barrel. I thought this couldn't get anymore unsafe, but I was wrong. She was looking at the gun and had it positioned in a way where the trigger guard was facing her, and the gun was horizontal, not knowing the barrel was pointing at the man behind the gun counter. Her friend told her that she was pointing the gun at him, then she said to her friend, "Shut up! I'll shoot YOU!" *points gun at her* you just don't do that. It's people like those two that give us pro gun people a bad name.
I've decided that the next time someone does that to me, I'm yanking the weapon out of their unsuspecting hands and smacking them in the face with the side of the buttstock.
If only you'd had the legal right to stand your ground and shoot her dead, right in her fat stomach! Actually in all seriousness, I think it should be a criminal infraction to sweep someone's body with an unloaded gun, equivalent to a traffic citation. I bet some local jurisdictions would go for that, maybe in Idaho or such.
I would have corrected her. If I was the clerk, I'd have taken the gun. If you, I'd have said "You're being extremely unsafe with that weapon. Please stop."
Really Happenings it actually is a criminal offence in a number of juristictions
technically, wouldn't that be brandishing a firearm? a could be a criminal offense if argued the right way.
OMG a 10'' 10 gauge would be incredible. You could call it the chiropractor.
knives fan 😂
Free adjustments to intruders
I love this
Was at a range when i was about 14, with my dad, he was teaching me how to shoot basic .22, working with a henry golden boy lever action, having a good old time.. This kid two stalls down was also working with his father, however it was his first time shooting, and instead of using something small like a .22, the kid was shooting a 12 gauge shotgun. The dad tries to tell the kid how to fire it, and the kid make an off hand remark about knowing what to do, hes done it in video games before. The kid holds it at his waist, and fires. The shotgun goes flying out of his hands, back, into his fathers crotch. I had to put my gun down, and put a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing at this scene.
thank you for bringing a smile to my face haha..my first gun to shoot was a 12 guage, but i shouldered it, and i was like 6 or 7, and had my grandpa there helping me so it wasent all bad, i loved it! my first gun was an sks, it was given to me at an early age but i never really shot it cause i really couldent handle it, now its one of my favorite guns haha!
Its so annoying when people play video games and because of this, think they're experts in firearms.
forlornblade382 Ok, I reread my comment and realised the ambiguity of my word choice so first I would like to apologise to you for offending you. I play lots of video games, grew up with guns and my dad was in the army and taught me to handle fire arms. Second, I would like to clarify. The person I am talking about is the kind of person who spends hours on Call of Duty or Battlefield and because of this, thinks they know how to handle fire arms. Although these games are accurate in terms of reloading and actions, they don't teach you what it is actually like to fire a fire arm, this is not necessarily a bad thing, its good to know the theory first. Another issue is these games don't teach muzzle discipline and how to treat fire arms (I am referring to Call of Duty, etc. ). I don't doubt that you can learn a lot from games and sims.
Also the dad's fault. I would've taken the gun from the kid until he stfu and listened to instruction. I don't think the dad had any balls to begin with, so it probably didn't hurt too badly.
Made me smile! I learnt to shoot as a cadet at 13 with 22. Then straight up to No.4Lee Enfield in 303! That hurt!!
Then UK version of the FN FAL SLR In 7.62! Didn't hurt quite so much!
The 303 weighed more than I did soaking wet!! But they taught me to respect them all and use them safely!
I joined up and used the SLR in service alongside the Sterling SMG 9mm! Hated that SMG! Was always in trouble for trying to grab an SLR as my truck gun! My oldest son & daughter also learnt to shoot as cadets! (Had Daddy as an instructor! Lol!)
Up until 10 teach them "Don't touch, Tell" Then teach them an appropriate caliber to handle them safely!
Every time I see that slow motion video, my shoulder starts hurting again. I agree 100% with you guys. Keep doing what you're doing!
Was at a range like 2 years back and when the range master said cease fire everyone did except one guy who fired a shot. And the range master like he had a fucking warp drive instantly appeared near that guy and told to to empty his weapon, put it on safe, than he packed it up and told the guy to get the fuck out.
They took the rules very very serious at that range but it was nice, knowing it was run by people who weren't idiots nor would allow idiots to be at the range.
Sounds like he might have been a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines and range instructor. Never ever get the Range Instructor made
NEVER point a gun at anyone or anything that you aren't willing to destroy or kill regardless if the gun's loaded or not
And there's rule #2
"Never let the muzzle cover anything you are'nt willing to destroy."
Guess i might as well post the other 2
3 Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire
4 know your target and what's behind it
I work in military simulation and watch you guys regularly. Today as I was watching this video, one of my co-workers who makes AR's came by to chat and said "Oh Iraqveteran8888, I love these guys!" Just goes to show you how many people enjoy your channel. Keep up the great works guys!
When I was 17 (35 years ago) I went to El Paso TX to report to Ft Bliss. I noticed a gun and knife shop IN THE AIRPORT, and stopped in. I couldn't buy a handgun at that age, but they cheerfully sold me a replica .44 Old Army revolver and everything I needed to shoot it. That weekend, I took it out to the desert, loaded it up, cocked it, and decided it would be cool to twirl it on my finger. BAM! The weight of the pistol made it fire and the bullet sailed about 2 inches past my head while the unburnt powder set my hair on fire. Once you nearly shoot yourself in the skull while setting your head on fire, you quickly learn a little about firearms safety.
Obviously, you could buy a handgun at 17, in Texas. Otherwise, why did they sell you one?
@@Dave_Simmons black powder?
@@EntryLevelLuxury black powder does fall under different rules than the "smokeless" powder firearms. It was still a "handgun".
Wow that was really stupid 😄 you're a lucky man.
Open carry an AK-47 on your back? Perfectly legal! Use a stock the wrong way? You're shit outta luck..

Back in the mid 80's (when some common sense still existed) I brought my Dad's 1891 Argentine Mauser to my high school's history class, at the TEACHER'S REQUEST, to show the class what a WWI era German rifle looks like. Mom drove me to school and I left the rifle in the teacher's room until class, then Mom picked me up at the end of the day. During the class, the teacher held up the rifle and gave some details (yes, the bolt was in the receiver and the rifle was fully functional), then students got to go up and handle it for themselves. The teacher was so into it because his grandfather fought in WWI, for the Germans!
Try that scenario on for size these days. Let's see....SWAT team, local and national news, prison time for my parents, expulsion and juvenile court for me, teacher fired and forced into homelessness, other parents sue school district into oblivion...
P.S. I brought a few rounds of ball ammo to pass around class the next day, to complete the lesson.
You can do that in most schools as long as you tell the teachers and do it in the manner you said
I remember in elementary school (I think), my dad dropped me and another friend off at a different friend's house. We had been upstairs in his room playing with some Legos when his dad went outside. Me and my friend who I came with where both raised around guns and knew exactly how to behave around them. So he saw his dad had left and asked us "hey do you want to go look at my dad's pistol?" Of course we said no, so he said "No it's right in here in my dad's drawer, I'll go get it" and went into his dad's bedroom. Me and the friend I came with went downstairs because we didn't want any part of it, but he saw we were going downstairs and decided not to get it, he didn't want to get in trouble. That's why if you have guns in the house you NEED to teach your kids about them.
My mother like to always have her finger on the trigger. At the range with a hot pistol, she will turn around and talk to people, finger still on the trigger. I have told her several times to keep the finger out of the trigger guard until shes aiming at the target..... She tells me to chill out... I decided I'm not shooting with my mother anymore because she doesn't feel the common sense rules of firearms are important.
That's way way too common with first time shooters
So the door chime or whatever that they use in the shop is similar to the chime my alarm makes when a door is opened in my house. I was playing the video decently loud and when the chime rang I thought someone was coming through my front door. It was 11pm and I was home alone, so I jumped out of my seat and grabbed my gun, heh.
After searching the house and coming back here to realize what actually happened I feel dumb...
In my perfect world, when it comes voting on any firearms law, we would take all the members of the House out to a range, and set two metal plates out at 100 yards. One we'll paint with a 'Yes' on it, and a 'no' on the other. Every member of the house gets one shot at the targets to determine their vote. We tally up the bullet impacts to determine the actual total. At least this way politicians would have to learn how to use a gun before voting on how we handle them.
I'd vote for that too, and only Congress could do this, no more ATF, BATFE- I know it's the same-, FBI, CIA, NSA, SS what have you, would have any day in making gun laws, rules or regulations 👍
I dropped my keys while I was at my local community college and some students complained that I had "bullets" on me - there's an inert .44 Magnum wadcutter on starline brass as my keychain >.< People...
yeah but was the shell emptied out ?
The primer has been replaced with dogtag chain >.< of course its been emptied out
JC622Kilo57J chill out man. its just a question.
They are not people JC622Kilo57J they are sheepol..
I went to visit the statue of liberty a year ago, on my keyring I had a multi tool, it has a couple allen heads, a phillips, and flathead. No blade, not even a corkscrew or nail file. They grabbed it out of the tray I put it in before the detector, passed it around examining it, opening the tools, and then they told me (rather rudely) they would have to take it. I felt a bit aw shocked, I told them it had no blade of any kind, so there response was "It doesn't matter, no tools". I was pissed, but had to keep my composure because they were acting like I had committed a crime. So I had to run back to the car (decent distance) and back within five minutes on an 85 degree day in jeans so I wouldn't lose my tool. What a great irony that what I was visiting was the statue of LIBERTY isn't it? I can't stand it anymore.
@That Guy I didn't. That's not the point. It was on my keys and posed no threat.
Hey Eric I wanted to chime in on this one.
I have worked in firearms most of my life. Over the years of working in gun shops and ranges I have had many customers decide to pull a gun out of a pocket or holster. About 10 years ago I had a customer pull out a loaded firearm. He had a negligent discharge and shot me in my leg right on my shin.
Thanks for the awesome channel. I love your videos.
In grade 8 I believe, I drew a friend a picture of an AK-47, and labeled all the parts and whatnot. At the time, a substitute teacher was in, and she must have been some kind of anti-gun nut, 'cause she snatched up that picture from my desk, called the principle, and the next thing I knew I was being accused of terrorism to the school and everything else.
I have been suspended 4 times for having a journal of graph paper with gun drawings I did from studying blue prints and technical diagrams.
I know your pain bro.
The counselor says "do you want to hurt people" "are you bullied at home" "is your dad mean to you" ect ect ect
I had a buddy of mine showing off a shotgun his friend let him borrow. He was acting like he was a swat officer clearing out room occasionally pointing it at me. I got pissed, called him an f ing asshole and took the shotgun from him. I pumped it oug of instict to check it and it was loaded with double 00, saftey was off the whole time. We looked at each other in silence for about 30 seconds, he then said I could of killed you man you could of been dead :(
Common Sense: So Rare it's a damn Superpower.
You made this back when we could give them the benefit of doubt when making an argument. I miss those days.
I miss Barry something fierce, I love watching his ocd of realigning everything on the counter! I do t know why I get such a kick out of it.
I got a good one. After I shoot my first deer when I was 12 I kept the empty .243 cartridge and drilled holes in two sides of it and put it on my key chain. Eight years later I went to an amusement park and when I went through security they made me remove it and leave it in my car. When I finally got in to the park and meet up with my group I noticed that they let a girl in our group keep a can of mace on her key chain. my only reaction was WOW.
Mike Robinson I got a 45 ACP BULLET next to my crucifix hanging on my torso.
Here in France nobody's shocked or feel offended. Are we "Frenchies" became tougher than you or is there to many pussies and lefties (sounds like the same) in America? Because actually here more and more people are buying guns and practice as much as they can. I personnally own 3 precision Riffles, a Shotgun and 2 handguns... Regards from France! 🖖🏻😎🇫🇷😇🖖🏻 400 people at my little town gun range.
Philippe FRATER Logic is a trait that tends to favor Europeans, more so than us Americans
@@philippefrater2000 pussies for sure
I would have said show me where the bullet is, stupid. No powder, no tip, an empty shell.
Got my first this year with my 308 doing the same thing
Who knew that 5 gripes later barry would be gone. Really starting to miss him. :(
When I was taking my NRA Basic Pistol Instructor's Course last month, there was an older woman there who had never fired any gun before. On day two, we were doing a reaction time drill in which the instructor runs in the opposite direction of the shooter. (Obviously from behind the shooter.) When this woman took her turn, the other instructor said, the runner begins running, and the shooter attempts to get a shot off as quickly as possible. When she made her shot and the runner attempted to stop so we could measure how far he ran, he slipped and fell on the floor. The woman spun around and muzzled the 10 other people behind her with a still loaded gun (finger on the trigger) to ask if he was alright... classic example of uncommon sense...
I went to the courthouse in Memphis, TN to show proof renewed car tags and avoid paying a fine. My brother had given me a magnesium block key chain with a flint and striker. When I emptied my pockets at the metal detector, the person who saw it asked what it was. When I explained that it was a flint he made me return it to my vehicle. He let all of the people, who were outside smoking, come in with their lighters, though!
When people aren't brought up with guns and taught safety from a young age, they are far more predisposed to make some of these stupid mistakes. My girlfriend for example once jokingly aimed a Gamo pellet gun at me. Thankfully, it wasn't loaded, but I made very sure she understood the severity of doing it, that other people may not be so forgiving. Another time later, she was observing a pistol out of my safe, which I keep loaded with a magazine for emergencies. Pulled back the slide right beside me, pulled it out of her hand and she learned another thing not to do. She did not grow up with bb and pellet guns, never learned range etiquette, if she had, she would have never done those things, things I not to do I had drilled into me. So moral of the story is, the more common guns are, the less common mistakes are.
>girlfriend
Fuck off.
***** Your dog aimed a gun at you?
No, the moral is that you don't keep guns loaded anywhere because it is fair to assume that people believe stored guns aren't kept loaded. You were not drilled hard enough and make exceptions. The fault was yours, not your girlfriends. I grew up with guns. I learned that in civil society they are tools for getting meat on the table. As such you do not keep them loaded unless you are out hunting, and you don't need automatic fire. Deal with your paranoia and unload that gun. The likelihood of someone robbing your house with you in it, forcing you to open your safe and you turning the tables on them is astronomically small, and the chances of you exiting that situation unharmed probably greater if a loaded gun is not in your safe.
***** How about you take the advice I gave the other guy and fuck off, I'm sorry I said shit on youtube. Next time I get robbed, I'll make sure the gun in my safe is unloaded. That way, when I wake up in the night again to banging, I can thumble around shoving rounds in a mag as a hammer comes down on the back of my head. Thanks.
one time I was in a gun shop looking at handguns and hunting rifles. as I was looking at a handgun I saw some guys (had to be 20-24) come in and start looking at the rifles on display. I didn't think much of it until I turned to look at them and realize one guy was pointing a rifle right at me, when I asked him to stop pointing the rifle at me his response was "what's your problem, it's not loaded" I'm not sure but I think it was that statement that got them thrown out of the shop
I go to high school in a small town in NH. After a test, I drew a Glock 19 and an AR15 on my scrap paper. My math teacher came around and drew a scope, bipod and laser on the AR and said "This is how mine's set up".

Barry referencing 1984. I miss him
GHOSTRIKER j Don't mean to be rude, but it's 1984, by George Orwell :)
robgoesnorth1 It must be hard to monitor people with a telegraPH
Ghoul With No Name telegraPH? Your comment's got me confused...
I mussed up my original comment and said telegram. The point was that 1984 would have been impossible in the 19th century.
+GHOSTRIKER j did he die?
I'm a victim of NO TOLERANCE and LACK OF COMMON SENSE by the school system. I come from a middle-upper class area here in northern California, I was EXPELLED for having a pocket knife at school during my junior year (some douchebag ratted on me). They cut short an important part of my youth, and may those cowards pay for it through karma.
One time I walked my cousin to my old elementary school, I hadnt been there in about 10 years. We walked to the class room and the teacher was scolding some kid over his call of duty hoodie. I dont like CoD, so I thought it was funny at first, but she really caught my attention when she said something about endangering "everyone in this room" over the logo for black ops 2, with the guy holding up a pistol. I asked her about it and she just said its safer if he takes the hoodie off.
The real kicker is that I decided to draw an AR-15 on the whiteboard (I have a decent drawing hand, so it looked uber real). All the kids were quiet, and the teacher was looking at me with extreme contempt, but she let me finish. After I made my point to her that its just some ink on a whiteboard, she told me to erase it, I told her to erase it if it was so important to do so. I left, but my cousin (4th grader, btw) told me that she was AFRAID of the expo marker picture of an AR-15 infront of the class room, the best part is that she called a janitor to clean it up. LOL
Thats abit weird to be fair
Gun Derangement Syndrome
@@RaptorTroll360 Some people have severe fears I've seen people run away screaming from a puppy all because they watched someone they care about get attacked by a dog.
I could sit and drink beer or a coffee with these guys and talk for hours
Rest in peace, Barry. You were a great voice for gun owners and for common sense. Fly high my friend!
In early 2011 (I had a GLOCK 23 & Springfield 1911 Loaded in my collection, my collection now includes an M1 Carbine that I bought BECAUSE of Eric.) Anyway I'm in the laundry room of my apt. bldg. & a woman came down & just said to me as she moved clothes from washer to dryer that she just cleaned her oven & had a hard time weashing her hands. I said buy surgical gloves to wear when cleaning the oven. & I told her when I clean my guns I wear surgical gloves b/c all the dirt, grime, mud & crap gets on my hands & wearing the gloves keeps my hands clean. At first she freaked out then I explained they were legal, my deakler was a police officer etc. My gun range is own ed by the city, located under the playground (no idea rthere was an underground range at the play ground. Even after I explained myself the next day she told the superintendant I was gonna kill everybody. I literally think she moved out after that.
The idea of everyone being a range safety is an amazing idea. Me and my cousin (I was 18 my cousin 14) went to the local range to have some fun. Some guys looking about my age were out their with their girlfriends and had an AK. They were HIp firing and dumping mags, (not illegal, but not too smart at our range as were already fighting to keep it.) The issue arose when they had a ton of hang fires. They would turn the gun to the back and rack the slide. Pointing it at all vehicles and sweeping the entire firing line. Before I could even blink on the subject my 14 year old cousin is over there giving them a lecture to be a little more safe. (keeping it pointed downrange and how hangfires can be unsafe). I know when I was 14 I would never have the courage to do that.
I just want to say the amount of respect i have for ALL of the ppl you keep around you , is immeasurable. I am fairly new to firearms my wife and i watch you quite a bit and love how you guys are factual and helpful. Keep keepin on.
when my brother was serving Jury duty , he had to remove a key from his keychain just because it LOOKED like a gun. IT WAS A FUCKING KEY
My gun gripe is people that grossly overestimate the performance of guns/cartridges. I was informed by a young man the other day that our local police department didn't need to purchase AR-15s because they could "shoot two miles" and innocent bystanders could be injured. Another gun gripe I have is people that overly estimate the range of shots they have pulled off. A 300 yard shot turns into 600 and a 400 turns into 800 yards.
I went shooting with a buddy of mine once, (once). He waved the barrel of his mossberg500 at me twice, once with one in the chamber! he also left the safety off whenever he was done. I still love the guy, but I'm never going shooting with him again if I can help it.
Had to watch these old videos with Barry .Rip Barry. We needed more videos of Barry
You guys are awesome and I hope you make videos for a long long time. Thank you for all the information you give us all. Keep up the great job!
I love these things, keep it up guys!
When i first started concealed carry when i was 21 i was at a friends house and i showed him my gun and first thing he did was pull the trigger... I was like you crazy! Luckly i just started to carry and i was scared to have a round in chamber.. Dumb idiot could have killed me or his mom in next room... Taught me to never give a gun to someone without slide pulled back and mag pulled out..
You guys are the best on the net. By far you are the most knowledgeable, I hear the same stuff come out of your mouths that I heard from my Pap and what he told me was really important-like when he told me you don’t point a gun at anything you don’t want to destroy, just as you said in this video. Aside from stuff like that, it should be painfully obvious that you guys are the bar setters in this social media gun game. I hope you keep your passion for making videos bc I for one appreciate the knowledge you have shared with me(from stats to opinions). Thank you guys for all the time you put in to teaching and not just screwing around with firearms
I've been a subscriber to the channel for a while now and I love it. Great job guys!
I work in a Pool and Snooker hall and a sign on the door says "All staff open carry on the premises at all times. You have been warned!". I wouldn't work anywhere that wanted me to disarm before starting my shift, especially when alcohol is mixed with the competitive spirit of sports that has led to a couple of customers drawing their gun in a fit of drunken anger but they always back down and apologise when every member of staff draws a gun and they KNOW we'll fire if we have to.
What ever happened to the days when a dude held up his fists & had a good beating but lived to fight another day? I have spent countless hours in pool halls & bars shooting pool.
Many fights ensued but none were fatal because no one had a fire arm. There was one instance that a drunk pulled a hand gun & pointed it to my forehead & of course I was scared shitless. He ultimately threw a cue ball at the display cabinet behind the bar & ran out the door. There were people in the pool hall that had hand guns on their person but were too stunned to do anything but duck behind the tables. They had guns, I didn't & I was confronted & they hid.
After the fact I thought I could have smashed him in the forehead with a pool ball but it was all too late. He was gone after his burst of anger. You think it's safe to carry weapons but it isn't. It would have escalated into a very serious situation & I would most likely be dead if some hero drew on him while he had his 9mm in my forehead. If nobody carried them, we would all be much safer & live to fight another day.
I happen to like guns & have owned them in the past & maybe will again in the future. I draw the line at carrying one in public. There is a place for everything & guns do not belong in public, populated areas. They belong in the country & wilderness or gun clubs.
Imightberiding What ever happened to the days when a dude held up his fists & had a good beating but lived to fight another day?
Problem is ....todays young adults are cowards. Instead of doing like we used to, where whoever won, won....and whoever lost, lost(and usually the winner and loser would end up being friends). NOW the loser leaves, and does one of these
1>Comes back with friends, to whoop the winner
2>Leaves and gets a weapon, be it a knife, gun or whatever...and kills the winner
I'll say it again, todays young adults are COWARDS.
***** I wouldn't go that far, the incidents I mentioned are few and far between. The vast majority of our customers are young adults and when they lose they accept it and no rudeness or violence occurs.
Such as a 116mm handgun barrel is illegal but 120mm is not (Aust) No sense
zhukie you mean LENGTH in mm, right?
My step father shot himself with a bersa .380 while trying to "clear the weapon". Instead of dropping the mag out he kept racking the slide back until one round went off and shot his index finger off. That god he isnt blood related to me.
On January 29th my gf along with a dumbass boy were accidentally shot by a Taurus g2 9mm the ammo was jhp +p, but dumbass guy was trying to field strip MY GF PISTOL didn't clear the chamber and shot himself through the palm through the couch and into my gf side but she is ok it didn't hit anything vital by some miracle
You fellas run one of the, hands down, BEST channels on RUclips! I check in every day, several times a day to see if you post new material. And on the days that you don't, my soul is crushed lol. Many thanks and prayers your way.
thanks for all your videos I have learned so much from you guys.
keep up with the good work
I tend to agree with the idea that it is not only about control and it's most definitely not about "safety". It is about trying to discourage law abiding citizens from purchasing and owning firearms. They know they cannot simply ban all firearms or confiscate them, so they are trying to reduce our numbers and destroy our culture.
A few years ago I went hunting with a cousin of mine and on my way home I stopped and got a motel room. When I went to bring my stuff in I brought my rifle in because I didn't want to leave it in the truck. It was in a soft rifle case. When I walked through the lobby heading towards the elevators the guy at the front desk stopped me and asked me if that was a gun. And without missing a beat I said nope! its a pool stick. And he said OK. And I was thinking here's your sign! But I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to leave it in the car!!!
i was taught how to shoot and handle a firearm by my uncle who used to be a DI for the marines. he taught respect for the weapon and showed me that these things are a lot of fun but they will end your life in the blink of an eye. your videos are great and im glad to see people wanting to help the gun owners and teach gun safety. i am teaching my girlfriend how to use and respect these guns and when i have her shoot a larger caliber handgun or anything at the range i try to be a little smart and just chamber one round and let her shoot just the one. something simple but it seems safer to me. once again thank you for the great videos
Technology can be a great thing for something like this, you guys reaching more people with tips and common sense. Instead of kids spending their lives on the Internet playing video games, keep up the great work!
Instead of training teachers, lets take veterans that don't have jobs and place them in schools as security. Two birds...
NORML85 Or you know... do nothing. America is pretty big so it might seem like there are school shootings all the time but in reality they are extremely rare. You kid is way more likely to kill itself riding a bike, crossing the street, commiting suicide... Its way more likely that you will go crazy and kill your child yourself, than it being killed in a school shooting.
NORML85 problem is the mental health issues in America, hard to ensure people that have PTSD are identified and given the treatment they need, allowing a bunch of veterans that are not verified as mentally healthy walking around with guns in schools that are struggling to pay to have teachers and keeping certain classes.
smolkafilip Still, it helps prevents school shootings completely and gives veterans who need a job a good way to help their communities and earn money doing it.
***** As long as the attacker doesnt just shoot them first or go into a kids sports center instead. It also has the downside of armed guards being present at schools all the time. I dont want children to get used to being watched by armed guards just as I dont want them to think being watched by cameras or snooped on by the NSA is just a fact of life rather than something to oppose. Also it would cost money. A lot of money which would be spent on solving a non-issue instead of doing something actually beneficial like I dont know... putting anti-slip surface ont the part of road with a pedestrain crossing in front of the school. That might actually save someone.
NORML85 That is a terrible idea. I met a vet, friend of my history teacher, who was terrified of going through the halls for fear of triggering his PTSD in a crowded, noisy hallway. American schools, or any school for that matter, are the worst working environment for war veterans coming back from combat zones, especially urban combat zones like those in Iraq and Afghanistan where its hard to distinguish green and red civilians. There's too much similarity between the two, as population density and traffic confusion is concerned, and too much room for a panic attack to escalate into someone getting choked out.
Was teaching a girl how to shoot some years back at a .22 spinner with a 10\22. She purposefully jerked up on the rifle and fired into a barn destroying an antique mirror.
At a party a female grabbed an SKS off the wall of my friends weapon room and muzzled me. I am a six foot four Fatman. I jumped and ducked sideways and cussing like no tomorrow.
please tell me both women got chewed out for that
The one that shot a mirror did, and by a few people. Not as much as I would have liked to the other.
I would have decked that bitch for pointing a rifle at me wtf
Two weeks ago at Cabella's, I brought in my Chiappa to see what trade in value was. Gave gun to gun library staff, came back about half hour later, sat down across from him. He looked it over, pointed it straight at me and pulled the trigger several times. Freaked me out bad!!! Probably because it was not re-checked when pointed at me! Thanks and await other uncommon sense stories.
Love you guys, keep up the great vids. You guys seem so grounded and real, that's why people love you.
Congratulations!
How do they know the pop-tart was a 1911? Did they ask the kid what type of gun the the assault pop-tart was emulating?
hahaha
You mean tactical ass-tart?
Only if the pop-tart was black, then it's tactical. It was probably desert tan, though.
SuperN0va lol chocolate fudge
You all have really opened my eyes the 2A community and I thank you for that. Any comment on this video and the words spoken in it? Specially the your outlook on the arm brace at that time to now?
And I sure appreciate you two guys doing all these videos. You guys rock!!! Many thanks.
Here's a great example of "Uncommon Sense" with respect to milsurp rifles here in Canada. I purchased a 1941 Johnson Rifle a few weeks back, and paid a fair amount of money for it because they are rare to begin with and you don't seem them very often in Canada. Rifle was considered non-restricted, like my M1 Garand or Lee-Enfield.... but now i'm told that the 10-round rotary magazine is Prohibited here (could be a 5-10 year jail sentence to use it in its present state), so I have to get the magazine pinned to hold just 5 rounds, which will no doubt destroy any collectors value it once had. If an M-1 Garand can be considered non-restricted, whats the big deal about the Johnson?
I've just written a comment roughly about the same issue:)... In Italy for whatever reason it's illegal to shoot 9x19 from semiautos. To comply with that law they mangled every single collectible 9 luger they found. No need to mention that any gun now firing 9x21 instead of its original calibre is worth exactly nothing (despite shops trying to sell ridiculous 9x21 Lugers for 1000+ euros as "new from the arsenal")
So then what's stop the Lee Enfield's magazine from being illegal then? It holds 10.
Who told you a rifle with a 10 round magazine was nonrestricted?
Bought it from a reputable company online (JoeSalter) thats been buying and selling firearms for a long time, and they posted it as a non-restricted. An M-1 Garand holds 8 rounds and is semi-auto and is considered non-restricted in Canada, and other firearms have been "Grandfathered" in that hold more than 5 in its magazine, the Lee-Enfield being an example. My beef is that the magazine is rotary, how does one go about "pinning" a rotary magazine without destroying most of it?
lastswordfighter none
In Canada a center fire semi-auto has a mag round limit of 5, a law that doesn't apply bolt action such as the Lee Enfield.
If it weighs as a duck, it's a WITCH!
Makes me proud living near these guys :), there videos are always interesting and very, straight to the point! Well done guys!
Rest in Peace Barry. I don't care what anyone says about you, or your lifestyle choices. I really enjoyed the content that you 2 procured together. I started watching both of you back in 2011, I was 12 years old at the time, and now being 21, I'm starting work at a local gun store next week (hopefully, if Covid doesn't shut the shop down). You two legitimately inspired me to be where I am today, and I'm so thankful for all of the information you've shared with us.
In Canada, the Rossi Ranch Gun is sold as a long gun (rifle) lol
Does that mean you could put a full stock on it? Seems rather lax for Canada.
@@ryanwilson5936 Yes, we can. It's almost the reverse of the US regulations. It's weird, I know.
I came out of the liquor store one time with a buddy of mine when a car pulled up to us and the guy went out the window and said "hey boy give me your money." I had no idea who this person was. My first instinct couple steps away from him so I have room and then draw. Before I get the chance to draw my buddy says something to acknowledge he knows the guy in the car. it was a coworker of his that thought he was going to play a prank on my buddy. The only problem in this situation is there is a complete stranger caring 45. I found out later that both the guy that went out the window and the driver were both carrying also. It is mind numbingly stupid to pull a prank like that in the first place. It's even worse when there's a complete stranger in the mix. It's worse still when you were already the kind of person who carries a gun to protect themselves but somehow assumes no one else may
You been watching to many "Dirty Harry" movies boy - Tell me where the threat was - (deathly that is) did you see a weapon? Sounds like a cop in Ca who shot and killed a kid carrying an airsoft rifle that looked like an AK and he turned in the direction of the officer (the cop) unloaded 8 rounds - 7 hitting the kid - We don't have all the info yet but I would say from what we do have, some cop should be in jail and awaiting trial for homicide. NO viable threat! Remember that and live by it or DON'T carry!!
gcsotrans Yeah, sorry but if someone rolls up in a white suburban after dark in a liquor store parking lot and says to hand over my money, my first response not to stand deer in the headlights in order to see if there is a weapon visible. My first reaction is to get the hell away and have some room to work with. If my first reaction was to draw and fill the car with lead, then maybe I'm that cop, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
*****
Get real! THINK for a second! Toy guns have red ends, children dont carry real AKs on the streets(not even in the worst places), and he didnt point it at anything, merely turned around. Simply attempt to see things from the kids eyes. He didnt know there was a cop hunkered behind his door, drawn down on him for no reason. He was probly just turning to see what was up, maybe who was being addressed, when he got shot many times.
Anybody that is that fearful has no business even being allowed out in public, let alone in a position of authority! If he gets away with this, he'll just kill 5 year olds next.
*****
No they don't You just made that up. Post just ONE SINGLE link to even ONE INCIDENT of a 13 year old carrying an AK(A REAL ONE now.,Rrememeber toys DONT COUNT,, thats the whole point here) and I'll apologize. Until then... put up or shut up!
*****
I forget to mention that its noteworthy that you now chnge your story from "Kids Do(sic) carry AK's in bad areas." to "Gangs DO use monors(sic) to carry weapons"!!!
Are you aware that knives and handguns are weapons, too, but they ARE NOT AKs? Obviously not, judging by your attempts at confusion and your irrationality.
Next time you should make sure that the person you're talking to is a REAL libtard, and not a cowboy that was taking whitetails with a .30-30 before you were even born! Your BS might work better on them, they're stupid too. You are the kind that makes the correct (pro 2A) side look bad. All you anti gun bullies take note, this BernieEOD idiot is NOT representative of our side. There's always a few bad apples in the barrel.
Better luck next time.
When I went for my permit, the class was in the range everyone waiting their turn to shoot. A lady in the class rented a gun and while waiting she was flagging everybody. We all kept telling her to put the gun down; she kept waving it. I ran over forced her arm down so the gun would be pointed down range, then grabbed it away and unloaded it.
I'm thankful for the years I was able to watch video's Barry was in. He always made me laugh❤
Enjoyed your vids for a long time... keep up the GREAT work Eric and Barry!
It's not about "common sense". It's all about discouraging (or entrapping) honest citizens who exercise their 2nd amendment rights. They're hoping that they can make it too hard for us to enjoy sporting/legal uses of firearms. They want us to abdicate our rights to them (because they think they know better).
If Australia's anything to go by, restricting firearms just increases the firepower carried by outlaws.
4-Winds "Slam-Bang" Shoguns are now the most common shotgun, and copies of the Owens gun are prized for their reliability and lethality. Ammo for these illegal guns is cheaper then the official supplies being taxed to oblivion.
For the price of one legal pistol, you can arm 20 with Owens.
On top of making things hard for gun enthusiasts, ammo just went up 4.00 a box on .45 FMJ target ammo in MN. UGHHHHH! What's next? I actually just read the last lead manufacturing plant in U.S will be shutting down too. Then what? Not just for ammo but lead is in a ton of products. Another job to have a hobby?
Warrior2200
The price hike is government taxes, if anything, (considering inflation) it's cheaper now to produce munitions then it was 5 years ago.
DARPA is currently commissioning depleted uranium anti-personnel rounds. Australian mines have been selling to several ammunition companies.
Lead is also cheaply being smelted in portable refineries. It's cheaper to fly in the smelting platforms then it is to transport ore to a smelter.
Still, if you have the time, reloading can be profitable.
Warrior2200 I can't think of any recent regulations on ammunition manufacturers that would cuase a severe spike...The reason prices have skyrocketed since 2011 is simply the result of a massive spike in demand. The increase of prepper/hoarder types combined with all the unnecessary hysteria following Obama's reelection just overwhelmed manufacturer's current capacity, plain and simple. I heard that a lot of manufacturers are increasing their capacity just in case people start going nuts again flooding wal mart at midnight to buy out the entire shelf before the crates of ammo are even off the truck!
Exactly. Its easy to entrap and obtain leverage over people if they break any number of laws daily (three felonies a day). Its a very indirect form of controlling people.
I dont think its about ignorance of firearms. anti-gunners aren't stupid. they just hope nobody calls them out on their bullshit.
..Eric is wearing a german Flecktarn! It's based on the ,,Erbsentarn´´ which was used by the Waffen-SS,and the first Camo,which was used in combat..This Camo is very significant for the Bundeswehr,and i'm glad they didn't replace it with a weird Pixel US-Camo..I couldn't even recognize,why.. ;D The effect gets weaker and weaker,especially because you can't take hundreds of different camos in service,for any flora or area^^
MARPAT works just fine and isn't wierd.
tommy gun Depends on the area it's used in..I wouldn't say,that MARPAT works it's best in Afghanistan for example..It's quite grey and doesn't work as good as the Flecktarn for example..But MARPAT is more flexible than the Flecktarn in desert,or original version..We also have Winter-camo,but it isn't in service..So if you mean the flexibility,you're right..But i didn't mean the effect of the MARPAT,which gets weaker,i mean the uniform-camos in principle,because this is a very small factor in today's combat..At least in urban-battles,it's not that important,because the ranges aren't that high..In open firefights it's still an important thing,of course..
tommy gun Which MARPAT service pattern are you referring to? Desert or Woodland?
suesswarendieb Google is fun sometimes, but I prefer books and real knowledge.
You guys keep doing what your doing we all support you and we all believe in what your doing, excellent work!
Love the videos guys, we had a friend blow a hole threw my uncles freezer. We were shooting some clays off the porch and he went inside to use the bathroom, ended up showing my uncle the gun in the kitchen round in the chamber safety off and what not I didn't know it at the time. I went to get some coffee and BOOM he blew a hole right threw the freezer with an 870.
We chewed him out pretty good, he ended up buying a new freezer and giving my uncle a deer later that year.
by the way I am watching you from Alberta Canada and you got all my support.
Bullying is a problem because we've created a society of victims. Everyone is told to go the teacher or the principle to turn someone in but that won't solve shit, kids have to stand up for themselves. When two victims get out of school and meet and have a kid, guess what? You've got another victim by default. It is crazy the difference between even two or three generations.
true, I graduated recently and the school teaches us to run to a teacher. even when you're getting beaten, don't raise a finger to them, don't even curse at them or you will be punished too. you must run to a teacher or someone that might help you. I'm just glad my parents taught me, don't throw the first punch, through the last, and don't stand for their shit. I did just that and I laugh at the stupidity of the "rules" that are set "for the student's protection". they are teaching us to be cowards not the people to lead this country.
+Randy “Macho Man” Savage I once got into a fight on the bus. A kid hit ME and i knocked him out in retaliation, but I got suspended and he didnt. That is the bullshit reasoning of our school system. And it was all on camera as well, so htere was no dispute as to who started it.
TehPartyPants I bet he didn't hit you again though. It is worth the consequence.
Randy Savage Yeah totally worth the consequence, but its pathetic that thats the way it happened.
Randy Savage maybe the schools should change their rules to allow the victims to beat the shit out of them, or at least not punish them when the bully actually hits them.
That factory Mossy sawed off is called a Shock wave. In the swamps all us trappers and crawfish fishers and gator hunters carried them . In Louisiana they were usually the cheap Iver Johnson single shot 12 gauge. Dandahermit
Love your talks. Always straight forward and HONEST!!
Another episode on Common Sense would be useful now in Oct. 2019
One common sense issue is that i cannot buy an AR-15 lower until I am 21, due to the fact the ATF is worried i am going to turn it into a pistol, but i can go buy an AR-15 or a shotgun and convert them into smaller weapons anyway. The law does not prevent any kind of crime, it just gets in the way of honest people trying to enjoy a shooting sport.
I live in NYS, walked into the gun shop and during the registration of said lower I was denied because I a not 21, perhaps its just a state law, with all this "safe" act nonsense. Even the guys in the gun shop were surprised
That is what i'm saying, the law does not do anything to prevent crime, just makes it harder for me to build a rifle of my own
at least u can buy one. im in california
Awww man that sucks
razz339 ouch, sorry for that
WAY before 9/11 I took my family to England. My 5 year old son purchased a toy gun the size of the one on the key chain you showed.
The airport security wouldn't let us through to the plane. "you have to check it" - but we had already checked our luggage.
My son was ready to cry. I was NOT going to have them throw it away.
Fortunately, an angel of an airport worker walked the toy around the security and gave it to us on the other side.
Thanks for the videos. I look forward to your next 80+.
When I was about 10 my brother and I were walking down the street with a bb gun. @ 1974. My brother put a small berry in it off a bush and shot me in the stomach as a neighbor police officer was driving by. He stopped, talked to us and then gave me the bb gun and told us to be good....
Today we would have been arrested.
God damnit Eric, become a politician already. fucking run for president
He's too smart, honest, and logical for that. People would rather vote for a criminal like Hillary.
Sigs WJ
I'd vote for him
Love your channel Eric! I've watched almost all....But I love going back to videos with Barry!
Good Gripe, Happy 80th and Thanks for all you do!
subscribed because NIN
The show was great. I've been following Trent's career since I was 14
what about Marilyn Manson? Both are great.
Alice in Chains above all else!
Teachers are intrusted with teach and watching your kid over 6 hours of the day why wouldnt you intrust them with keeping them alive?
Cause working people have no choice?
***** A teacher does not prevent delinquency. Proper parenting does.
DerBluePython As a teen I never felt my parents were responsible for my behavior. Why do people like you want to look for someone to blame other than the one who commits the crime?
John Lloyd Scharf What I should have said was, proper parenting helps to prevent delinquency. How a person behaves is largely affected by how they are raised, but no, not entirely.
My wife is a teacher at an elementary school. She shoots better than most people, but the other teachers, all Dems, are against guns with a passion, and are against arming anyone in school. They did, however, purchase a buzzer for the front door to keep killers out, because they are terrified of a repetition of Sandy Hook.
I am also a NIN fan, since 6th grade! cheers to you guys, and Barry, and your work.
Thank you guys for all your awesome videos and keep on supporting gun rights and the gun hobby! :)
I'm not sure if this would qualify as a "Gun Gripe" or a "Firearms Facts" suggestion, but could you guys do a video about left-handed friendly firearms? I can't speak for any of my fellow lefties, but IMO it seems like firearm designers/manufacturers tend to forget that we exist.
Yeah... I learned to shoot right handed because it's too much of a hassle for me to work around stuff obviously designed for right hand.
JDTN1985 were only 11% of the population lol it’s not that bad though if you’re using an ar platform hit the bolt release with your left hand and in my case with our sks‘s I just reach over the top to release the bolt like an Ak
One day, if I have the time, I'll do a gun gripe of my own about our gun laws in the UK.... You guys have it much better than us on the firearms front.
*****
Yes, that's mad enough on its' own, but when we hosted the Olympics last year, our own pistol team had to apply to temporarily import their own pistols and then export them again as soon as their competition was over.... utter madness.
JackRoadkill I bet good ol' Piers had a hard on over it.
M1ke10191 wow the UK gun laws are even more strict than the German, I always thought they are the same ...
Unfortunately in the UK we have gun laws that are based on keeping guns out of the hands of the working class (these were introduced after the first world war when fears of a Soviet-style revolution were very prevalent). They are also tightened up every time there is a shooting, and it is never criminals who are targeted by the new laws - it's always responsible shooters who find their freedoms curtailed. I'm not arguing that it should be the right of every UK citizen to own guns without a license but it would be nice if those of us who use guns as part of our work could do so without being portrayed as dangerous maniacs and legislated into criminality.
Yeah, I feel you ... here in Germany it is quite similar, but I didn´t know, that in GB guns are completely prohibited (I once read that in Australia the authorities took the guns away from all owners after a mass shooting, I think I mixed something up), I always thought that they are allowed but strictly regulated for sporting purposes (as it is here) or for hunting... If you really want to do that vid, I can help by telling about the law here in Germany ... :)
Love NIN! Big points for that. Best live shows ever. Saw them at Stubb's BBQ in Austin a few years ago. Everyone had to empty pockets, be frisked, and wanded with metal detectors upon entry...A little much!
Been following everyone at Moss P&G for a while now, I work at an indoor range in PA and I've got a particular instance for you. It happened to my co worker as I was on the floor with him, and our manager was about 10 feet away. There was an older gentleman who was telling my co worker a story about how someone put a gun into his face. I overheard this part and both my manager and I looked up at the right moment to see this older gentleman saying "and he put it up like this" and shoved a Remington 1911 into my co workers face, point blank. My co worker pushed the firearm aside and disarmed him out of reaction, and sternly said "Don't do that." The older gentleman felt it was necessary to finish his story, and I could see that my colleague was not pleased, and was in fact turning slightly red in the face with anger. We took over and let him cool down for a little after that one.
