The hospital the next town over from us has rooms that are regular walls on three sides and the side that faces the nurses stations are glass with a curtain to pull. Nearly every room, including in the ER, is like that there. I assume it's not to look good but to keep an eye on the patients in case they need additional aid such as from choking on their food, falling when they get out of bed, etc.
Glass windows in hospitals are typically found in Emergency room-settings and can easily be confirmed through a google search or on UA-cam videos. You wouldn't find them in a day hospital type setting however. They do have curtains and other such things to protect privacy, but let's be honest, in a hospital you're not going to get much privacy anyway.
@@Carolina_Luke I don't think OP is questioning the existence of those walls as much as the MATERIAL used. Why use fragile, easily shatered glass instead of tempered, car-like ones? Or just acrylic, way cheaper? Glass like that don't even need a violent patient, just a clumpsy worker and there is sharp glass everywhere.

I know some people are paranoid, but there's nothing wrong in an of itself in being a prepper. Guns/ammo/canned food/clean water/etc. Unlike the food and water, the guns and ammo don't even need to be rotated out. Me, I'm a cheapass, so I just have a 22 rifle with ~300 rounds (only .05/round when I bought it). Should be enough to hunt wild boar and scare off the Mad Max type gangs if the world ends.
The ability to hunt anything will go away quickly. Overhunting due to under preparedness. Gangs can hold a grudge. 300 rounds won’t get you far. Being invisible on the other hand, can last a long long time.

I don't think a prenup or life insurance is the same thing as 5 m40 sniper rifles, 4 military-grade gas masks, and about 15 M1A4 semi-automatic assault rifles
@@sorin_markov why not? All of them are for emergencies or special conditions not met in everyday life. You can't have a semi automatic " assault " rifle, if it can't go full auto it doesn't meet the definition, not to mention a M40 is a standard bolt action the person behind it makes it a " sniper rifle" and military grade anything is the worst you can get, so he stupid to get that when as a lawyer he can afford better.
@@tillmen4444 Some are far more certain than others and less able to be used dangerously Yes you can lol, an assault rifle is just a rifle with a detachable mag and selective firing, both of which the M4 has (so yes it can go full-auto). Semi-auto is the most general firing mode so I specifically called it out. Yeah the M40 is a generalist, but there's better options than it for just about every purpose except having a reliable medium-range precision gun. Again, not incorrect to call it a sniper rifle when it usually is used as one. And military-grade isn't the worst, it's cheap and usually reliable and always interchangeable, all valuable qualities for a prepper. Don't make this an ego thing and try to argue about meaningless points like whether the M4 is an assault rifle (esp if that point is easily Googlable)
@@sorin_markov Nothing is certain, just ask a Ukrainian. The most dangerous thing in America is a car and most people can own one so... its not about how dangerous something is. There is no way he had a stack of M4's which means all the guns were semiautomatic, making them lack a selecter switch which means they aren't assault rifles. A sniper is a designation for an individual with training to be such, everyone else using a long range precision rifle is a marksman not a sniper. You clearly have never used military equipment, its made by the lowest bidder... which is why anyone who has ever used it will tell you its not reliable and usually not worth it. Very few things used are worth it and gas masks aren't one of them.
I dont like the "living in fear" argument. Yes, those were like 40 too many guns, like do you wanna arm a Militia? A compromise of reducing the stock would be perfectly fine. Do you "live in fear" cause you have a fire extinguisher in your home? Fearing fires every day? No, you have it just in case. Its the same with having weapons at home, you might have 1 or 2 fire extinguishers in the home depending on size, not 50 though. Especially in the US were the chance of armed robbers are just way higher than unarmed robbers
Might be a relevant comparison if a) fire extinguishers could kill people and b) owning a fire extinguisher doubled your chances of dying by fire extinguisher (and tripled your chances of suicide by fire extinguisher). But all that only applies to guns.
@@lifeinhd4053 owning a firearm only increases your chances of dying from it, because the government includes suicides in that stat. And suicidal people will find another way of doing it, owning a gun changes nothing, except your ability to defend yourself, your family, and your property.
@@lifeinhd4053I can do all 3 with a fire extinguisher, most people wouldn’t think about doing these things with a fire extinguisher is why these things don’t happen as often
@@lifeinhd4053 I could easily kill someone with a fire extinguisher. And I'm pretty sure people have died by fire extinguishers before, and being around them, would obviously increase your chance of dying by them. In fact I googled it, and there was a "Mass fire extinguishering," that where 10 people died in 2019. Also, if you're going to kill yourself, it really doesn't matter what you use to do it with, does it? Cause seems like being suicidal might make the chances of dying by suicide much higher than owning a gun does.
Yes, imagine you don't have other access to cars easily, but you can repair cars, then having other functioning cars would make sense of the same type so you can repair the one you are using

arsenals are by definition armed, the title is a redundant statement. if you wanted to go for alliteration i would have used "a paranoid patient with an astonishing arsenal"
Irrational? That wasn't just a single gun for self-defense purposes. There were enough guns there for a militia. The man even said it was more than just a collection.
Lots of dishonest people in the comments section trying to claim that this is somehow a completely anti-gun episode don't seem to see a difference between someone having one gun at home for self-defense and someone having enough guns for a criminal gang or the like.
why if you want a bomb shelter or end of the world bunker always build it away from home and have professionals test it so you know its sanitary to actually live in
The funniest thing about this episode is that House wasnt on board with the whole "Keep weapons in case the government turns tyranical" thing. "Trust the government" - House lmao
it's not really ''trust the government'', it's more ''they won't help if the government decides to come after you'' if you think they would you live in a fantasy world.
Hey gun folks, I have an honest question: I get having several variations of a rifle or having backups of the same rifle if you’re prepping, 3 is 2, 2 is 1, 1 is none. Is it realistic for this guy to have ten identical looking (to an outsider) rifles like this? Would they all be chambered in different calibres? Is it more like 3 of one variant, 3 of another and they just look the same to me?
There's a few thought processes that could be going on here. One is that like you said, they could all be chambered in different calibers as the AR platform is one of the most popular in the world and made in just about any caliber you can think of. Another possibility is that they are all the same caliber but different makes like Colt, Smith & Wesson, ArmaLite etc. One more is that he does just like one make but thinks it would be a good idea to have parts guns when the first one wears out. Still another is that he could use the extras as trading material or maybe to arm his friends. It's also possible that he bought them all surplus in a lot deal. I sure this is more ways to justify them I haven't thought of also. I can't see them well enough to be able to tell if they are all the same or not so all I can do is speculate anyways. I can tell you for sure though that there is a lot of incorrect information here about the legality of owning that amount of guns. New Jersey has really stupid gun laws but just about every other state would have no problem with that collection and I have seen much larger stockpiles than that, my own included. The most unreasonable part of this scene is that a couple of random doctors could just stumble upon his "safe room" like that. In the real world even if someone was to figure out that there is a hidden room you would want to make it very hard to figure out how to get in it for that exact reason. It's not much of a hidden room if a total stranger can figure it out in less than a minute not to mention keeping kids out of it is the most important thing.
Personally, if I were a prepper, I would have multiples of the same gun. Guns being mechanical require regular maintenance and will still wear out. Buying 10 of the same gun provides plenty of spare parts once they all start failing. I would go with 10 AR-15's in 5.56, 10 Glock 9mm. and 10 .22 long rifles. the long rifles for hunting. Glocks for indoor battles. AR-15's for outdoor skirmishes. An enthusiast, people who like shooting guns, would have a bunch of different makes and models as they each feel different while shooting.
I can see benefit of having a few similar guns as a backup, or for arming several people who can share ammo if needed. But that looked like 10 or so of the same kind (three sets) and unless you're arming a community I don't see the benefit of that over having a few guns in different common calibers. That way you could potentially get benefit from ammo you can find
- choose a handgun or rifle Caliber, gone use it for both handgun & rifle, Ex: .22lr/9mm/ 5.56/7.62. If you choose a rifle cal, your handgun should be a revolver or front magazine pistol. - Rifle, choose quick change barrel, short for cqb, medium - all round use, long - support, longer - sniping. - big Cal rifle, semi auto only, the only rifle with different cal -> anti material rifle, for stopping vehicle and counter sniper, because longer range(power). - when these requirements achieved, then you can add more gun beyond what a platoon need. Store long-term in a box - not ready use. But personally I would rather add illegal full auto rifle and other illegal weapons, because when shtf - there are no longer any rules. You'll need secret bunker that you can never brag to your friends(this's harder then what you can imagine).
It's kind of a weak reason to move out of your house just because of that. Wouldn't you rather have the weapons just in case something did happen then to not have any at all and then something happens and you blame yourself because you're an idiot. I mean you could at least kept two or three of them
It's the fact he doesn't have two or three but an entire arsenal that's the problem. If he had a whole bunch of different weapons it could still be understandable, but multiple identical weapons evokes nothing paranoia.
The issue isn't that he had one or two guns; it's that he had a massive collection of them, which is super weird at best. What would he need that many for at once? Since he was being dishonest with his wife about them, was she wrong to be worried about what kind of a person he was to have that many?
> I don't want to live in fear I dont really get the wife's speech at the end. Why is she so scared of a bunch of guns hidden in a wall? It's not like he goes in there all the time or people know they're there. Its a secret room with guns. Even if they never need them at all, why not just leave them alone and seal up the room? Worst case scenario you DO need them. Best case scenario you never open the room again. Why does she treat it like some issue? Not having the guns is only gonna make his paranoia worse and stress him out. The guns and paranoia wasnt even related to his illness!
I honestly find those who fear guns to be paranoid or have zero logic. It’s a tool. Who wields it for what reason is what they should be thinking about.
Because media constantly conditions people to be irrationally afraid of firearms. And I don't mean in the sense of firearms in the context of being in the hands of bad guys, just firearms in general. The amount of people who will get extremely uncomfortable or scared just seeing a gun is truly insane. For whatever reason it's more common in women but not limited to them. They'll see one on a table and act like it's a coiled viper ready to strike them at any moment.
"Instead of building bunkers, you should be getting boosters. As in routine vaccines against stuff that are actually scary" Words that hold more weight now more than ever.

@@MellowMink Why is that anyone else's business? The right to keep and bear arms is just that, a God given and constitutionally protected right. You don't need a reason! Also, he tells his wife that with all the crazy stuff going on lately he just wanted them to be able to defend the family in the event of a crisis, i.e., riots, looting, hurricanes, "peaceful protests" that include things like assaulting and/or murdering innocent people, burning down the city...stuff like that.
Yeah, no. That’s the most secure house ever. If things went down, that house will survive. If it’s a nuke, maybe not. But it’s a perfect cache for survivors to come to for help and restock. There’s nothing wrong with preparing for an eventuality.
House full of weapons, one person can use maybe two at one time, the other members of the house, have no clue! He'll be taken out quick and the arsenal belongs to bad guys if a robbery or police if they was called in first...
Or he teaches the other members of his house and then his neighbors and arms his trusted community. Or he barter his guns down the line. Having 30 guns is not more dangerous than having 2 guns.
I mean the dude had a secret bunker to hide his arsenal. It wasn't a handgun in a nightstand drawer you're more likely to shoot a family member with than an intruder. I get she's uncomfortable with the quantity but I don't think letting him keep one or two is unreasonable.
No, it's not. Having a gun locked away for home self-defense is reasonable to many people. What isn't reasonable is having enough firearms for a small army. Don't be so disingenuous with your all-or-nothing rhetoric here.

I don't think a prenup or life insurance is the same thing as 5 m40 sniper rifles, 4 military-grade gas masks, and about 15 M1A4 semi-automatic assault rifles
Yeah but there's no point in don't liking to live with that @@sorin_markov
@@sorin_markov why not? All of them are for emergencies or special conditions not met in everyday life.
You can't have a semi automatic " assault " rifle, if it can't go full auto it doesn't meet the definition, not to mention a M40 is a standard bolt action the person behind it makes it a " sniper rifle" and military grade anything is the worst you can get, so he stupid to get that when as a lawyer he can afford better.
@@tillmen4444 Some are far more certain than others and less able to be used dangerously
Yes you can lol, an assault rifle is just a rifle with a detachable mag and selective firing, both of which the M4 has (so yes it can go full-auto). Semi-auto is the most general firing mode so I specifically called it out. Yeah the M40 is a generalist, but there's better options than it for just about every purpose except having a reliable medium-range precision gun. Again, not incorrect to call it a sniper rifle when it usually is used as one. And military-grade isn't the worst, it's cheap and usually reliable and always interchangeable, all valuable qualities for a prepper.
Don't make this an ego thing and try to argue about meaningless points like whether the M4 is an assault rifle (esp if that point is easily Googlable)
@@sorin_markov Nothing is certain, just ask a Ukrainian. The most dangerous thing in America is a car and most people can own one so... its not about how dangerous something is.
There is no way he had a stack of M4's which means all the guns were semiautomatic, making them lack a selecter switch which means they aren't assault rifles. A sniper is a designation for an individual with training to be such, everyone else using a long range precision rifle is a marksman not a sniper. You clearly have never used military equipment, its made by the lowest bidder... which is why anyone who has ever used it will tell you its not reliable and usually not worth it. Very few things used are worth it and gas masks aren't one of them.
I dont like the "living in fear" argument.
Yes, those were like 40 too many guns, like do you wanna arm a Militia?
A compromise of reducing the stock would be perfectly fine.
Do you "live in fear" cause you have a fire extinguisher in your home? Fearing fires every day? No, you have it just in case.
Its the same with having weapons at home, you might have 1 or 2 fire extinguishers in the home depending on size, not 50 though.
Especially in the US were the chance of armed robbers are just way higher than unarmed robbers
Might be a relevant comparison if a) fire extinguishers could kill people and b) owning a fire extinguisher doubled your chances of dying by fire extinguisher (and tripled your chances of suicide by fire extinguisher). But all that only applies to guns.
@@lifeinhd4053 it is a relevant comparison regardless of your simple brain's inept grasp of it.
@@lifeinhd4053 owning a firearm only increases your chances of dying from it, because the government includes suicides in that stat. And suicidal people will find another way of doing it, owning a gun changes nothing, except your ability to defend yourself, your family, and your property.
@@lifeinhd4053I can do all 3 with a fire extinguisher, most people wouldn’t think about doing these things with a fire extinguisher is why these things don’t happen as often
@@lifeinhd4053 I could easily kill someone with a fire extinguisher. And I'm pretty sure people have died by fire extinguishers before, and being around them, would obviously increase your chance of dying by them. In fact I googled it, and there was a "Mass fire extinguishering," that where 10 people died in 2019. Also, if you're going to kill yourself, it really doesn't matter what you use to do it with, does it? Cause seems like being suicidal might make the chances of dying by suicide much higher than owning a gun does.

Being prepared for anything, to the best of one's resources and ability, is living in fear? LOOOOL
Hey gun folks, I have an honest question: I get having several variations of a rifle or having backups of the same rifle if you’re prepping, 3 is 2, 2 is 1, 1 is none. Is it realistic for this guy to have ten identical looking (to an outsider) rifles like this? Would they all be chambered in different calibres? Is it more like 3 of one variant, 3 of another and they just look the same to me?
It's Hollywood, not reality. It's a TV set put together by anti-gun nuts.
There's a few thought processes that could be going on here. One is that like you said, they could all be chambered in different calibers as the AR platform is one of the most popular in the world and made in just about any caliber you can think of. Another possibility is that they are all the same caliber but different makes like Colt, Smith & Wesson, ArmaLite etc. One more is that he does just like one make but thinks it would be a good idea to have parts guns when the first one wears out. Still another is that he could use the extras as trading material or maybe to arm his friends. It's also possible that he bought them all surplus in a lot deal.
I sure this is more ways to justify them I haven't thought of also. I can't see them well enough to be able to tell if they are all the same or not so all I can do is speculate anyways. I can tell you for sure though that there is a lot of incorrect information here about the legality of owning that amount of guns. New Jersey has really stupid gun laws but just about every other state would have no problem with that collection and I have seen much larger stockpiles than that, my own included.
The most unreasonable part of this scene is that a couple of random doctors could just stumble upon his "safe room" like that. In the real world even if someone was to figure out that there is a hidden room you would want to make it very hard to figure out how to get in it for that exact reason. It's not much of a hidden room if a total stranger can figure it out in less than a minute not to mention keeping kids out of it is the most important thing.
Personally, if I were a prepper, I would have multiples of the same gun. Guns being mechanical require regular maintenance and will still wear out. Buying 10 of the same gun provides plenty of spare parts once they all start failing. I would go with 10 AR-15's in 5.56, 10 Glock 9mm. and 10 .22 long rifles. the long rifles for hunting. Glocks for indoor battles. AR-15's for outdoor skirmishes. An enthusiast, people who like shooting guns, would have a bunch of different makes and models as they each feel different while shooting.
I can see benefit of having a few similar guns as a backup, or for arming several people who can share ammo if needed. But that looked like 10 or so of the same kind (three sets) and unless you're arming a community I don't see the benefit of that over having a few guns in different common calibers. That way you could potentially get benefit from ammo you can find
- choose a handgun or rifle Caliber,
gone use it for both handgun & rifle,
Ex: .22lr/9mm/ 5.56/7.62.
If you choose a rifle cal, your handgun should be a revolver or front magazine pistol.
- Rifle, choose quick change barrel,
short for cqb, medium - all round use, long - support, longer - sniping.
- big Cal rifle, semi auto only, the only rifle with different cal -> anti material rifle, for stopping vehicle and counter sniper, because longer range(power).
- when these requirements achieved, then you can add more gun beyond what a platoon need. Store long-term in a box - not ready use.
But personally I would rather add illegal full auto rifle and other illegal weapons, because when shtf - there are no longer any rules.
You'll need secret bunker that you can never brag to your friends(this's harder then what you can imagine).
i get my government benefits when i need em.
It's kind of a weak reason to move out of your house just because of that. Wouldn't you rather have the weapons just in case something did happen then to not have any at all and then something happens and you blame yourself because you're an idiot. I mean you could at least kept two or three of them
It's the fact he doesn't have two or three but an entire arsenal that's the problem. If he had a whole bunch of different weapons it could still be understandable, but multiple identical weapons evokes nothing paranoia.
The issue isn't that he had one or two guns; it's that he had a massive collection of them, which is super weird at best. What would he need that many for at once? Since he was being dishonest with his wife about them, was she wrong to be worried about what kind of a person he was to have that many?
> I don't want to live in fear
I dont really get the wife's speech at the end. Why is she so scared of a bunch of guns hidden in a wall? It's not like he goes in there all the time or people know they're there. Its a secret room with guns. Even if they never need them at all, why not just leave them alone and seal up the room? Worst case scenario you DO need them. Best case scenario you never open the room again. Why does she treat it like some issue? Not having the guns is only gonna make his paranoia worse and stress him out. The guns and paranoia wasnt even related to his illness!
Hollywood writers tend to be anti-gun.
I honestly find those who fear guns to be paranoid or have zero logic. It’s a tool. Who wields it for what reason is what they should be thinking about.
Because media constantly conditions people to be irrationally afraid of firearms.
And I don't mean in the sense of firearms in the context of being in the hands of bad guys, just firearms in general.
The amount of people who will get extremely uncomfortable or scared just seeing a gun is truly insane. For whatever reason it's more common in women but not limited to them. They'll see one on a table and act like it's a coiled viper ready to strike them at any moment.
