Like a Glock trigger pull is the same every time, so is Paul's attitude and demeanor. Just remember, he is a trained professional. He has only good advice to offer, and some serious accuracy burned into his muscle memory. Also, Oregonians, are generally speaking fantastic people, I may be a little bias growing up in Washington with a lot of the family in Prineville Or.

It’s particularly applicable to people who live in countries where firearms are less common, far more regulated and lacking in options regarding training. For instance in Australia you need to be a member of a club and compete to own a handgun. If you aren’t a professional shooter you can’t own a semi automatic long gun As a hunter you can only own a bolt action, lever action or pump action rifle. Or a single/double barrel or lever/straight pull action shotgun Furthermore you can only own a calibre that is suited to the game you wish to hunt, like a .22 for rabbits, .357 magnum for goats or a .308 for camels. You can’t own a firearm for self defence but there are situations where it may be legally acceptable to use one in that regard Having a good understanding of the expansive range of firearms and their use and application is a good place to start if you want to gain ownership of one and this video is great

If you feel cheated because he gave 6 and the title says 10, here's four more: 1. Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, away from anything you're not comfortable destroying. 2. Treat every firearm as loaded until you visually and manually verify it is not, even if the person handling it before you did exactly that. 3. Do not put your finger on the trigger until you have the firearm pointed at something you're comfortable doing irreparable harm. (Mr. Harrell referenced this) 4. Know what's behind your target. If you're going to keep firearms, know these rules by heart. They will prevent the vast majority of negligent discharges. Also, great video. I've been watching a lot of his stuff in the past few weeks and I find Mr. Harrell's voice rather calming.

Those in the gun community who insult, act like know-it-alls, go mall ninja, or otherwise put an unappealing first impression of gun owners in the person of themselves do us no favors by turning off those just getting interested in guns for the first time. Being a good representative of gun owners by demonstrating proper safety unfailingly and using the proper demeanor to introduce those new shooters to guns will do us all a favor down the road, especially when it comes to defeating these authoritarians in friendly politician attire who would like nothing more than taking away as many of our guns as they can get their grubby little tyrant hands on.

The majority of them are urban people who are used to police being all of five minutes or less away, and now the wait time is gonna be much longer.

When I was a teenager, we had some guy try to walk into our house because he thought that we weren't home. My dad and I both had firearms close enough to grab, but my sister's collie was the first to act and "neutralize the threat", by the time we followed them to where he had collapsed in the yard, he was screaming and crying like a baby. I almost felt bad for the guy. I would never rely solely on a dog, but dogs sure do react faster than a confused human can.

For fun they'd shoot 1 foot square plates at 800 yards. 1 was a cousin of my dad's who possessed exceptional skill with a beaten-up Winchester '94 in .30-30 who was unusually proficient in knocking multiple whitetail deer down in succession as they ran through his favourite coulee as the dogs sent them through ( his record being 4 bucks with 4 shots at a bouncing run (( we thought he was in trouble firing a rapid signal)) but by the time we all ran there, he'd dragged all 4 together and was sitting on a fallen log having a smoke like nothing had happened... and an old Copper worked Metro Division Toronto P.D. from Huntsville who carried an old Savage 99 in .300 Savage who could hit anything he wanted, any time he wanted, offhand, near or far. A box of 20 cartridges lasted him 5 years: 3 to sight in every year and 1 to drop his deer/ bear/ moose. Those were men to respect for their skill, and definitely not to cross. It's not about limitations. It's about the skill to make a tool exceed it's designed purpose from specialization to multipurpose or beyond.

Mr Harrell: I discovered your channel just as beer was beginning to shift from a concern to a crisis and I've been binge-watching your considerable catalog ever since. I've commented on a few videos to say how much I (like everyone else here) really admire your knowledge and skill, your presentation style and dry wit, and the way you demonstrate high character with how you speak as much as with what you say. This particular presentation demonstrates those qualities in spades. Forgive my lack of brevity, but I want to tell you why I think this. I am not and never have been a "firearms enthusiast" but I have owned guns since I was 12 (nine if you count my Daisy Cub). Uncles taught me to shoot .22s and shotguns and one gave me the .410 I shot my first (and only) pheasant with at 12. In the 70's working as a security guard I qualified with and carried a vintage S&W Model 10 5-inch, my first handgun. Through the 80's and 90's I gradually collected a medium-caliber rifle, 12 gauge pump and a Beretta 380. I occasionally went to ranges or out in the desert to plink with friends. But then marriage and family and life in general led me to hide everything away in the shop except for the pistol in the bedside table. So I am definitely not what'cha call a professional, but I know my way around a gun or two, even if I am exceedingly rusty. I lost all those guns (including that .410) to the fire that destroyed almost all of Paradise, California and along with it, our house. Since resettling in Washington last spring I bought a new home-defense 20-gauge pump. I took it to a local range to practice and fell in with some great old trap shooters who let me try out my new Remington against the scourge of clay birds. Even though I could only take down 7 out of 25 at best, mostly out of sheer luck, I caught the bug and in the fall got myself a starter over-under 12. I was spending Tuesdays with these good old boys and was starting to learn how to "see bird, shoot bird" when the beer situation turned me into one of the "Pandemic Gun Buyers" for whom this presentation is intended. I had planned to rebuild my arsenal slowly, going to gun ranges with rentals and trying out a lot of models, especially handguns, since I am unfamiliar with modern products. I was in no hurry, thinking I had a year or so to mess around, study and make good, informed choices. Then in March I became a panic buyer, although not a complete firearm neophyte. I finished my last purchase a week ago, and based on this presentation, I made good choices. But to the point - I have been watching a lot of videos from firearm "professionals" in the last few weeks and finding your channel was an eye-opener in more ways than one. Not only have I learned a metric butt-ton from you, but your style and demeanor have been refreshing and welcome. As I say, I have never been a firearms enthusiast. I see them as tools for protection or hunting or simple enjoyment of a skill. I enjoy practicing mind-body skills, but I'm too old now to go back to martial arts or disco dancing, so shooting trap is becoming my late-life skill hobby. And I do believe firearms are, for some people like me, important to have for defense. I believe in homeowners insurance and a spare tire in the trunk as well. So, now that it's my turn to be a panic buyer, being offered your thoughts and experience in your inimitable style has been more valuable than gold or toilet paper. And perhaps most refreshing of all is your treatment of your viewers, myself now included, with respect and without bluster. I no longer watch other gun channels, nor will I unless you recommend one (I've watched a couple of Kentucky Patriot's, and I see why you recommend him). Everyone else seems to be flexing their muscles and beating their chests, treating firearms like fetish objects, arguing arcane minutia like medieval bible scholars and denigrating anyone who isn't preparing for World War Zombie. To me, you are like those now long-dead uncles who explained the basics, put the gun in my hand and threw empty paint cans in the air to give me practice leading. You explain, you demonstrate, you spin out a few great yarns to illustrate a point, you tell jokes so dry I have to sip vermouth and in doing all that you exude respect for your audience. You demonstrate qualities I consider sorely lacking in the American general public and especially among those who tout themselves as experts in certain contentious topics, politics and firearms being two that seem to attract that most noxious of blowhards, the "Internet Influencer". In short, thank you for being you, for doing what you do, and for doing that voodoo that you do so well.

That's because the 30-30 is designed to dump a massive amount of energy into the target upon impact. Its not super accurate or fast, but if you hit something under 150 yards with it, it will do fatal damage. It's like the difference between a bus(30-30) hitting something at 60mph vs a corvette(insert your sexy caliber here) hitting something at 120mph. Ultimately they will both do the job, you just have to pick the right one for the situation.

This man makes a lot of great points for first time and some what newbies. And he is one of a handful that even Mentions the affordability of things and how most people are limited by the money that they have. So many KZitem bloggers are showing off these 1500 2000 $3000 guns thinking that every Tom Dick and Harry can afford them. There needs to be more KZitem bloggers that show the more fordable weapons and how to use them. And this man does. I’ve been a part time gunsmith for 20 plus’s years. Not a shade tree gunsmith. Yes I was able to do I able to do high levels of machine work and so forth. And I was a very accomplished marksman, very capable to 1000 yards and beyond with the proper rifle. My point is this gentleman has made many valid recommendations, even with my high level of experience he was able to rejuvenate memories of things that were in the back of my mind and in someway forgotten. So this is a very worthwhile video to watch.

Gunnutsmedia said "just get a shotgun that can carry more than one round". My first thought was "what if you're a broke college student who inherited a single shot gun?".

For those new, or returning after 30+ years (like me, literally) - I'd consider picking up some inert training rounds called 'snap caps'. These can be used to safely conduct loading and handling drills without the use of live ammo if you don't have access to a range. I had a lot of training (too) many years ago, but was very rusty and found them helpful to restore long lost muscle memory. Training rounds do not replace live fire training, but are useful if you haven't been on the bicycle in a while. I'd also consider thinking about the aftermath. The use of deadly force is serious business, so I'd recommend also looking at Massad Ayoob's channel for a sobering reality check. There are also other channels that cover the topic of 'what to expect when the law shows up'. I had considerable training in the use of deadly force and had very specific rules of engagement in the military. Civilian rules are not the same, so it is wise to educate yourself. Great channel; compliments to the chef.
