The only thing insane in these times is how successful extremist politicians and their propaganda machine, the NRA, have been in whipping up paranoia and hysteria among gun owners. Your constitutional rights are not under attack, the gun lobby is simply trying to make you paranoid about that. The ammo shortage is one of the industry tools in trying to convince lower and middle-class Americans to vote against their economic interests. The real aim of the NRA and the political party it supports is not too preserve your rights, it is to ensure that there are enough politicians in control to pass tax cuts, and deregulation to benefit the GOP‘s real constituents and their real agenda, supporting the ultra rich and their corporations. They can only do this by duping you, the average American, into thinking there is a crisis at hand that only they can prevent. Have any of you ever met with old money GOP people and heard them talk about politics? I have. They laugh at all of the “dumb gun nuts” who are so paranoid about nothing and think you are all rubes. I’ll give you proof of the fact that you are being lied to by the NRA. One of their fundamental concepts is that “if you give an inch they’ll take a mile.“ Hand-in-hand with this philosophy is the idea that there can be no restrictions at all on Second Amendment rights. This is a complete lie and a fallacy. As you know, you do not have an unrestricted Second Amendment right to all military grade weapons. In fact, it is very common for constitutional rights to be limited. For example, First Amendment rights can be restricted in many ways, such as, preventing military personnel from discussing military secrets with foreign agents; placing bomb threat calls; yelling fire in a crowded theater to see if anyone gets crushed running to escape; calling someone a convicted felon when they are not a convicted criminal; shouting bigoted language in the workplace. First Amendment rights of association can also be limited, such as prohibitions on sex offenders being around children or schools or prohibiting parole felons from associating with any other convicted felons In fact, the right to vote or the right to own guns can be stripped of an individual who has been convicted of a felony. Your right to religion does not allow you to incorporate physical abuse or human sacrifice into your ceremonies. Very few people, an inconsequential number, actually want to see most gun ownership rights stripped from Americans. The overwhelming majority of Americans simply want some common sense, reasonable restrictions on who can own guns and on whether they have military capacity, i.e. high capacity magazines, that enable homicides and mass shootings. What most Americans want is the firearms equivalent of having speed limits and drunk driving laws, which do not eliminate and cannot eliminate auto accident deaths, but greatly reduce them. A final point I will leave you with is that the more extreme you are in clamoring for unlimited gun rights, the more you will resemble the sort of “gun nut” that scares the average American who is not a shooting enthusiast. Shooting enthusiast can and should be a voice of reason in the center, not just blind, screaming fanatics at the extreme. Taking a reasonable approach will not result in the continuous and further erosion of of your rights, it will simply result in the passage of moderate restrictions on gun ownership that do not impede the rights of any responsible gun owner in anyway and will save lives.
Excellent tips for the newbies, you especially nailed it on the first two very important items on your list! And like you, we’ve seen some people, who think themselves as “experts”, (who think they know so much more about guns )are usually the ones breaking those same rules inside a gun range!🤦🏻♀️
Safety first , love this video! I've been shooting for over forty years , but it never hurts to watch these videos for safety reasons. Thanks again . I could use this for training people I take to the range. So important safety.
As a fellow watch lover and new gun owner, this was really helpful. Getting ready to go to the range the first time and I think I would have messed up on a couple of these points including laying the gun on the table and racking. Thanks!!
Excellent information. I haven't been at a public range before. I've been blessed to shoot on private land, until now. This was just the refresher I was looking for.
Great review for experienced shooters too, thanks! One other tip for empty chamber etiquette - get some safety flags. Many ranges even require them, but definitely handy for increasing safety.
Good info! I'm not a newbie but not a seasoned but own several guns and go to the range as much as I can but never a bad thing to reinforce things the racking/charging of a firearm issue with the muzzle pointed to the side happens but good to get into the habit of NOT doing that and what you have explained..we all have done it once or twice but good to cement that into your head to NOT do it
Buying my first gun (like my own gun type vibe) and man I’ve never been to a real range and I was not expecting any of these tips cause they’re all super small but add up to a lotta safety I like it cause you can only be so safe you have to be careful of others yk
Great information I just bought my first 2 pistols haven't touch a firearm since I got out of tbe army 25 years ago. I have some anxiety about handling it, so I'm going to take a pistol safety class before I do it on my own ...
thank you for this video - yes going to a gun range can seem a bit INTIMIDATING - I can no longer go to the outdoor open range as NEW STATE LAWS as of 2022 have outlawed it......
very well said on the the 3 rules of gun safety 1 - always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction 2 - always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot 3 - always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use also kudos on range etiquette and use of PPE 👍
Do some firing range have default guns for those who just wanted to experience shooting a gun and test how accurate they can be in their first try? Of course with a knowledge about safely handling a gun.
Two questions....Is there a procedure for bringing the gun from vehicle to inside range? And what if you have a gun jam or other problem while shooting? Any help would be appreciated.
Gun(s) should be in a secure case. If you have a problem, put the gun down, facing downrange, and tell the Range Safety Officer, RSO, what kind of issue you are having. Hope this helps.
The thing that bothers me is when you are at the range you are all decked out in your PPE so to speak. Yet, in a real life situation, you're not gonna have your goggles and protective ear muffs on. A real life situation is gonna be spontaneous and you won't see it coming and so won't be prepared for all the sensory issues from firing a gun in a self defense situation. But I guess that's what back yards are for, real life target practice. I'm a lifelong renter unfortunately and wouldn't know anything about that. Too bad gun ranges don't let people practice in the raw, without all the cushioning, just so we can get training and preparation for how it really feels.
Thank you.. Very good advice. Im going to the range today. Never shot a gun or owned a gun in my life because I'm a real man lol. Just kidding. But I'm not really a gun guy. But I'm still getting one for self defense just in case.
Shooting at the range is easier than driving on the streets & much less dangerous. Follow the rules, be courteous & use your common sense & you wont injure or kill yourself or others.
make a seperate channel for your interests, if you want to build a credible and professional brand posting this on the main watch channel has no place, learn on how to run a bussiness
And yet somehow i have already managed to build a successful watch brand despite your condescending demand. The company was built for my father and the things we love... Shooting is one of them. Teaching people who to shoot safety can only make the world a better place, but thank you for letting me know the exact parameters of which i am allowed to express myself and where. May I ask how many multi million dollar businesses you have founded that make you the authority on the matter?
what gun is that? thanks very informative. im new to guns, have only shot 1 pistol and 1 ar10. like 30 rounds each. generally peaking do gun stores like to answer questions? I plan on buying a 9. will they tell me what I should be looking for. im 6'2 225 and im interested in bigger guns. from watching videos my top 3 interests are. Walther PDP or PDP SF, Springfield Echelon, Canik Mette SF and my buddy said to get a Glock 17. Any suggestion? I do realize that the feel is probably the most important part but without that.
Thank you for standing strong in these insane times.

One of, if not the best videos on range etiquette I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched a ton of them. Thanks brother.
Great advice! Thanks!

Thanks sir just turning 21 so I'm going to the range. Very excited, and appreciative of these tips!
I’m a new gun owner. This video was really helpful and well presented. Thanks.

How was it?
This is the exact video that I've been looking for. Thank you! Heading out tonight and wanted to prepare.
good timing, i planned on taking my new FN to the range for the first time tomorrow!
Clear and succinct instructions. Every newbie needs to watch this video a few times. Couldn’t hurt for a few of us old heads to do the same.
Excellent range tutorial and protocol procedures!
Thank you.. These are basic skill every gun owner should follow..
Thank you again..
Stay safe and always be kind..
Excellent video! Thank you!

Thank you! This was very informative and straightforward.
Good info!

Good observations, honestly love the tips. Very good habits to practice moving forward
Great tips - especially how to rack the pistol while keeping the muzzle pointed down range!
Great tips and reminders. Thanks.

Thank you for your knowledge.
Thankyou so much!!!!
Great video! Thanks!
Great video!
Great advice. Good video
Thank you, great tips for every gun owner….
Really cool video man. Thanks
Great information regarding the racking.
Excellent information. Trigger finger diacipline and keeping the muzzle downrange. Thank you for making these rules crystal clear.
Great information I just bought my first 2 pistols haven't touch a firearm since I got out of tbe army 25 years ago. I have some anxiety about handling it, so I'm going to take a pistol safety class before I do it on my own ...
Thank you
great info
A very good explanation
good stuff bro.
thank you for this video - yes going to a gun range can seem a bit INTIMIDATING - I can no longer go to the outdoor open range as NEW STATE LAWS as of 2022 have outlawed it......
That’s frustrating to here. How would someone shoot at over 100 yards with no outdoor ranges?
Thx for this.
Rule No.1 Safety First!
very well said on the the 3 rules of gun safety
1 - always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
2 - always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
3 - always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use
also kudos on range etiquette and use of PPE
👍
You just mean unchambered correct? Or empty magazine?
Newby here. Thank you for the info
danke
I’ve been to the gun range in Prague for the first time I only fired a Glock 17, that got me panic attacks
This video is a diamond collection
I got yelled at when I did the rocking the gun… thanks for the tip
Excellent video, good on ya. I hate to bring this up but it looks like you got plastic all over your 1911…you should get that looked at :)
lol :) I have a nice 1911 in the other room but man it kicks hard.
Do some firing range have default guns for those who just wanted to experience shooting a gun and test how accurate they can be in their first try? Of course with a knowledge about safely handling a gun.
Absolutely. Ranges typically have rental guns and are also there to help you.
Two questions....Is there a procedure for bringing the gun from vehicle to inside range? And what if you have a gun jam or other problem while shooting? Any help would be appreciated.
Gun(s) should be in a secure case. If you have a problem, put the gun down, facing downrange, and tell the Range Safety Officer, RSO, what kind of issue you are having. Hope this helps.
What about casing when they are ejected. What do you do with them?
The range will typically sweep the casings.
You look like that guy from the movie Slasher. Good tutorial!
hahaha its me :)
@@EgardWatches Fr? Ayo! You did A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I loved it!
@@rxttengrave appreciate it!!! Was a great cast
@@EgardWatches it was!
do they check your gun before u go into the range?
It depends on the range. Some will check your ammo and make sure guns are clear and some won't.
What guns is that is looks sick
It's a springfield armory XDM elite :) They make it in 10mm which is nuts
Wait.... I've seen a 320 shoot with no finger near the trigger
The thing that bothers me is when you are at the range you are all decked out in your PPE so to speak. Yet, in a real life situation, you're not gonna have your goggles and protective ear muffs on.

Too bad gun ranges don't let people practice in the raw, without all the cushioning, just so we can get training and preparation for how it really feels.
Look for outdoor gun ranges in your area or ask other shooters at your range if they know of outdoor areas where you can go shoot. Hope this helps.
I have no hearing already
Thank you.. Very good advice. Im going to the range today. Never shot a gun or owned a gun in my life because I'm a real man lol. Just kidding. But I'm not really a gun guy. But I'm still getting one for self defense just in case.
How was your experience?
Shooting at the range is easier than driving on the streets & much less dangerous. Follow the rules, be courteous & use your common sense & you wont injure or kill yourself or others.
Sir. That's a pistol. You need to add a brace for it to be considered a gun. -joe Biden logic.
This is basic and, I hade to know bro.
