Cool when’s the last time you needed your gun in self defense? 99% of gun owners will never need their gun in self defense.
In Canada they already banned assault acorns, we gotta stick to semi auto maple leaves and pinecones
Damn, no fun in Canada 😭
Canadian here. Can vouch for this. 100% accurate.
Too bad Canadian health care is wait 6 months for medical acorn death.
Many non Canuckistanis dont know this, but assault acorns come apart into two pieces. if you send them by mail from the states, in two seperate pieces as different packages, its not technically illegal, and you can re assemble them on the other side
i also heard there was some crazy french rednecks deep in the woods of northern quebec way off the grid who are growing THEIR OWN!!!!

@@ambiguouszenithar Number 1. If you have a light on your gun, you are sweeping everything you are looking at, thereby breaking the second rule of gun safety. Number 2. If you have a light on your gun, your opponent knows that all he has to do is aim right above the light to shoot you in the chest. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just hold the flashlight in my other hand, off to one side.
@@kaptnkarl01do you aim with your stomach? 😂😂😂cuz thats the only way that it would make sense to get shot in the chest when aiming above a weapon light cuz if you have it at proper Height to clear and it would be right at neck/ eye level not chest level bud

"Meming our way into office." Funny, and true.
The rule for the light is the same as the rule for the gun with me. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.😂😂
exactly
Essentially this, though if you are not in draw competition with the bad guy, i would still use separate flashlight on supporting hand to have the light bit on the side of the firing line so case perp actually fires towards light it has higher chance of missing if his accurate shooter... then again most perps can hit for shit unless its point blank range so this might cause more issues with twiched shots. Specially if you are right handed just like perp there is tendency to pull trigger and hence gun right, so leftie technically has advantage in this one against rightie. For dot..i always think its just another thing to catch into things well as in dark potentially revealing your location, but while its off that is not a issue and for close range you do get kinda window for some what accurate shots, specially good if you are like me who cant see the iron sights that well. With scope or dot no issue but lining the shot with irons is very difficult for me.
The only thing I can say against gun lights are if you’re not looking at the right spot or coming down a hallway with it you are giving your position away a bit more then if you didn’t have one but I can see in a lot of self defense scenarios that you’re much better off having one so you have that option to use then not having one

When I heard Ken ask when the last time you needed the light my immediate thought was that the majority of people haven't needed to use their guns in self defense.
Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
This is literally exactly the rule I live by. It’s why my backpacks and such have been much heavier than most. I want to have everything I would likely need for the day on me in case I need it, instead of needing it and not having it with me.
They’ll be the ones crying when they are at a disadvantage due to not having a light while everybody else has one.
came here looking for this comment, great rule to live by
Ken, when was the last time you shot something you didn't need to see?
One could use that argument to say insurance is a scam, I mean, are you planning to crash or something?

Wilson Combat lost me back when they claimed that it’s bad to release the slide on an empty chamber. Maybe Wilson’s 1911s are that fragile, but I would trust any solid modern handgun not to see significant extra wear or damage from doing so.
what bothered me the most about that acorn thing is that there were 2 cops, who shot 2 mags at a nonmoving target, and managed to miss every single shot of those two mags, and these are the guys who were supposed to be trained to handle guns
They only have minimum qualifications.... it's scary how little they're required.
And they straight LIED about everything in the moment too. This is literally a trait children pull.
It’s quite simple. The good cops left 4 years ago. Anyone left is a tyrant and or will enforce tyrannical laws. They’re not our friends.
Bruh do you even range day. Actually I take that back, that’s impressively bad. A literal child could’ve hit at least one of those shots by sheer dumb luck.
Also, just noting, both cops had red dots, and the gear CV could not replace character
Acorn Cop sounds and acts suspiciously like Captain Sobel in Band of Brothers...
Seriously, I hope that cop _never_ lives down that humiliation. The hilarious "combat roll", the panicked screaming, the claims of being hit, and randomly mag-dumping an empty car...comedic perfection.
EDIT: Alright guys I get it, the car wasn't empty, which just makes it that much worse
That is a beautiful comparison
the car wasnt empty.............. luckily no one got hit

@@HowWittyHalo Fair point, this makes this particular cop's ineptitude even more complete.
Dude was rolling like he was fighting a Elden Ring boss.
After speaking with a coworker who has years of exp in as an MP and LEO, he was against weapon lights due to the fact that whatever you shine your light on your are pointing your weapon at. Most of the time you need to be able to look around with your light and not your weapon.
A lot of dudes are rocking a small light in their off hand now for this exact reason. I'd always have a light.
@@l3jointI'm one of them. I see it like this - if I'm deep concealing, I need the gun to be as small as possible. I don't really care if somebody sees a flashlight. Side effect, it gets used a whole lot, I never really realized how much I needed an EDC light til I started toting one. As situations change, I can always add to it. Bigger less concealable gun, lights, red dots, yada yada up to a full on bat belt.
@notsure7874 Bat belt haha yes. And not to mention if you need a light just for a whatever reason, you have one. And good point about someone seeing your light, I'd just assume you're a contractor or something, tradesmen, not military contractor lol just for those confused
@@l3jointThe light gets used a whole lot more than the gun, that's for sure.
I think the dot and light are the perfect example of "id rather have it and not need than need it and not have it"
Uhh… no? Again, I use my light all the time, I go through atleast 4k rounds a day while I’m walking around or going to work so I always have my light charged
@@Spectorblade what's your point, I haven't said anything to contradict having a dot/light? .... 4k per day? Doubtful

1:14 "whens the last time you needed it?" That's a very familiar argument ive heard from people that don't like guns in the first place
Because he's a fudd. That's why
My literal first thought.
Yep. When was the last time the vast majority of people who conceal carry legitimately NEEDED that gun? They didn't. That doesn't change the fact that for the one time when you DO need it, its damn sure better to have it at the ready. Something along the lines of better to have and not need than to need and not have...
Just tell them that you don't need an abortion either
Massad Ayoob spoke against WML as well in a Wilson Combat video as well. I think they were referencing hand light versus weapon mounted light. I prefer hand light as it lets me keep my weapon trained down range while letting you also check corners without potentially flagging a friendly.
Keeping at low ready with a hi-lumen is plenty of light to see around the house. 😎
lights also draw fire, having an offhand light lets you have it not right where your weapon, arms, and probably face and chest are if you realize your assailant has a firearm.
Massad Ayoob is overrated. Weapon lights are fine, but I'm a firm believer that if you aren't carrying at least a handheld edc light, you probably have no reason to have a weapon light either. Don't be that cop that uses his gun as a flashlight to help a paramedic treat an accident victim...
The dude Colion Noir interviewed said he didn’t have time to aim and his red dot got caught on his hoodie. He took his off.
I would believe him if his name didn't meant "a55hole" in my language
The fact that this is an experienced cop and a special forces officer instead of some greenhorn is absolutely terrifying
He’s claiming the PTSD thing a ma jig. Been to West Point, so called badass army ranger……..but never been in actual combat.
Between this and that other cop who had an Nd and that pair that absolutely lit the shit out of ladies apartment it’s becoming very clear that modern police forces are full of incompetents.
Didnt know that, and if thats true It's even more wild to me he thought he was hit, didnt bother to actually check.....guy might have been using.....just wild..😮
But I expect nothing less from Florida man😉
And the guy folded to an acorn.... man.... an acorn....

@@DFVaun Really? Where did you get that factoid?
I think this is exactly what he was talking about, he's not saying that using a flashlight period is pointless, he's saying that it's far better to use a handheld flashlight over a weapon-mounted one. I'd certainly prefer to hear someone trying to break into my house, go down stairs, and point just a flashlight at my teen daughter trying, and failing, to quietly sneak into the house, as opposed to pointing a gun at her head for however long it takes to ID her. This just seems like the Internet being the Internet and assuming and spreading an opinion without any context on or knowledge of what they're talking about
@@destinpatterson1644I mean you CAN have both ya know? Use the handheld to identify the possible threat assess the situation and throw down your light and draw if you need to. That’s kinda the issue with just relying on one or the other you close yourself off from having that option when in reality you can just have both and still be pretty darn effective
5:30 I learned this lesson from Paul Harrell. The dumpy .38 snub nose you carry on you every day and practice with regularly is leagues better than the most modern, gadget-ridden gun you've never shot and left at home.
Paul Harrel - Respect
Of course the snub nose is better than the modern never shot left at home gun. Anything is better than a gun you dont shoot and anything is useless when left at home
Even Garand Thumb agrees with that. He usually ends his videos with a speech about training being the most important thing.
@@alexnewell9631 You say it's obvious, but training and program compliance are easily the most common points of failure in self defense situations. Paul's point was also a repudiation of the common advice (often framed as a requirement) that a person get the latest and greatest thing with all the bells and whistles and "spend five thousand dollars" in order to even start training. Yes, improving your tools and expanding your skills is almost always a good idea, but only you can decide if doing so is right for you.
@@alexnewell9631 It might seem obvious, but program compliance and training are the most common points of failure in self-defense and survival situations. Paul's point was also a repudiation of the common 'advice', often framed as necessity, to new shooters to have the latest and greatest hardware with all the bells and whistles before they even consider training. It is indeed a good idea to use the best equipment that is the best for you, and only you can be the judge of what that is.
I’ve got about 17 years in law enforcement and fortunately outside of training have never had to shoot my weapon at night. I can tell you that during training, those of us with weapon lights are generally more accurate and have significantly faster reload times. I’m no expert but it could have to do with the fact that we are not fumbling with a flashlight and magazines in the sale hand at the same time.
I was once out in a field near some cotton farm away from city passed 1am, in TX. With only a P365 no accessory, one spare mag. 😨That was scratchy as hell... Needless to say I started upgrading everything after that. Including some backpack options.
Now I carry a CR920P with EPS carry and TLR7 sub. I have to admit it is the best performance I can do with g43 to g48 sized (micro to sub compact) platform. I also feel that light on a pistol always adds extra stability, and red dot allows me to focus on target to put more well placed shots faster.
Yeah, that sucks that your department doesn't buy one for everyone. Nice to work for a well-funded department.
Go State, screw those local departments.
This guy is talking about concealed carry on a daily basis, not law enforcement wich i think is necessary. He have his experience telling him the the simpliest, the better.
@@paulofelipebbraga9634 you are correct however even off duty I carry lights on my guns. The TLR-1 or TLR-7 depending on the firearm I chose. My point being a weapon mounted light allows you a free hand in the instance you do have to draw your firearm at night. It also allows you an additional level in the use of force continuum and a less lethal option. You can also better assess the threat and see what you otherwise might not be able to

This cop has the acting skills of Soccer players pretending to get hurt lmao
I was a cop in Texas for 20 years and during that time, all sorts of different flashlight tactics were taught and endorsed. For much of my LE career we carried D-cell and C-cell Maglites. Looking back, there were several times when a weapon-mounted light would have been really useful, no question, but pistols with rails weren't yet a 'thing' back in the Pleistocene era. I like the idea of a weapon light that can be easily and quickly mounted and dismounted using a spring clip attachment method for when it's needed, allowing the light to be used separately. I've seen far too many modern cops who use their weapon mounted light like a simple flashlight, all the time apparently oblivious to the fact that they are simultaneously pointing a loaded firearm at everything and everybody.
You get a like for using Pleistocene in a sentence.
@@damoclesecoe7184you too
to someone who just plays sim counter terrorist games and watches police bodycam I feel like youd be at a disadvantage using a flashlight in a wartime scenario where you dont really need to positive ID people, but for law enforcement situation having a flashlight seems like a must have
Training issue
Never and I mean never underestimate the value of a D-cell maglight in a scuffle.......
That dudes "combat rolls" were amazing 😂

LOL! Ken sure stirred up some discussion. I’m closer to Ken’s age than Brandon’s. My EDC pistol doesn’t have a light, but about the time Brandon was a toddler I added Ashley Express sights (before the Big Dot and name change to XS Sights). I carry a light - or three. My house pistol, my wife’s 12 gauge - definitely lights. If I was a working cop (I’d NEVER do that; my best buddy retired from that more than a decade ago), I’d have a light and probably a red dot. But for me, it’s draw 1911 (told you I was old), place dot on threat, press trigger until threat is no longer.
Living in South Africa, my gun light gets used more than candles during load shedding (rolling blackouts)
Sadly that checks out.

5:10 Makes sense to me, the kind of person who would use a weapon light would already have a regular flashlight in their pocket so now you've just added a new set of batteries to charge. And any situation where you're going to use your weapon light, surely would be prefaced by you using your regular light, so now you've got to do this juggling act of flashlights when you actually deploy your gun.

What surprises me about the Ken thing, is the Army has a saying, "Better to have and not need than to need and not have." I think that says it all.
Flatly applying that phrase to a weapon's accessories would logically result in TactiCool abominations.
There has to be some moderating rationale controlling WHAT things you have but don't need, or you just wind up having everything.
Which brings us back to the beginning, determining if each individual thing is beneficial or not.
Well he said they are massivly overrated, no that you shouldn't use them or that they aren't useful, and to be fair, in most scenarios you are not gonna have to turn that thing on so I don't get why the gun community is acting like they just got tread'ed on. If he would have said that they are completely useless and a gimmick or anything like that I would understand. Same with the reddot. He said that on short distances it doesn't make a diffrence which he clearly has a point but didn't say anything about them being useless or worse then irons. (Unless brandon clipped it out then I blame him) I'm guessing the gun community just needed someone to laugh at and he was the victim since none of the arguments made against his statement really have any relevance to what he is saying.

A gun light has been the most useful tool for me. But I only have one on my trap gun. I always check traps after work and dark out. Only other time I carry with it on my every day carry is when I'm out fishing at night other then that I carry as it came out of the box.
please keep supporting Paul Harrell and his brother Roy, people. :-)
Roy is improving fast. In his first video he was so stiff and awkward but now he’s much more natural.
I knew an STL cop who never carried a gun mounted light. He used his flashlight and held it away from his body so if a bad guy was using it as a target, he'd most likely be safe. Seemed like sound logic to me.
This also comes from the old (and modern days in Florida and Louisiana) of carrying hurricane lantern to the side so it gives you better light spread. There was practical positioning and the lantern being off to side rather than in front like most people cause people aiming at the light to shoot arm length off center mass. So much gun counter and squad room lore around how to carry your light. Just be thankful the days of The "6 D cell" Mag Lights are in the past..... The were bright, they made great a melee weapons(one head hit and lights out for the receiver) but they were heavy and battery change always hurt the wallet. Now that said, if you need to re-pounded in railroad spikes(could be an emergency fix from train robbers needed back then), to fix the track your could use that mag light with out fear of hurting it....
In exchange for moving the light away from your body, you give up some stability of stance and two handed control of the firearm. Would you rather prioritize tricking a threat into shooting you in the hand instead of the chest, or putting fast and accurate fire on target so the threat never gets a chance to shoot you at all?
@@1retiredknight I mean... you can't always be faster. Just the law of averages. It also probably depends on the context of violence. A cop is often going into a place with no prior SA of the place full of bad guys. Most civilians aren't operating under that context.
@@Nate-lq8jc If your are simply scanning your surroundings, that should never be done with a weapon light. A weapon light is for final verification of the threat and a clear foreground and background before firing.
@@1retiredknight amen!
I've concealed carry with and without the reddot, as long as you carry. I will say I think for how useful it can be the dot is a must.
In law enforcement I was a LEO Certified firearms instructor and we carried laser grips when they first came out. Now for the past 15 years, my pistol has a light/laser set up. I use them both several times a week. 👍
In close combat, I think the old man is referring to that its more effective to rely on physical memory in those close situations, the ones where you're not trying to shoot a bad guy who's using a hostage as a shield. Everything has its purpose. Subjectively, I don't like red dots on pistols because they obscure my field of sight and that red vibrating dot pulls too much focus from my eyes to be able to pay attention to the surroundings outside of that red-dot frame. I love them on rifles, though! :)
It has been 156 days since the last AK50 update.
Big numbers 😳😳😳
In Alaska, it is a NECCESSITY to carry a weapon light. Cuz the sun sets at 4 pm and doesn't come back up until 9 am.
I wouldn't be surprised if the guy would prefer you carry a separate light rather than one on a gun. You can use the light at anytime and if you need to draw your firearm and use the light you can then independently aim the light and the gun. That's what some older guys have argued when it comes to lights.
I’m an armed security guard and I carry a flash light because I can’t be waving my pistol around for light, the light on my pistol is 99% useless and I have it because I couldn’t find a holster that fit my sidearm without it. I don’t know what else to say, it’s there. Okay well there is this, home defense, you get up, it’s dark, bam, you blind the bad guy 👍.
Going from a boomer complaining about gun lights to a cop rolling because of a acorn is funny
lol the "i..I have that now" came from his soul. I felt that...
Just found the perfect video watch while I finish a weeks worth of procrastinated college homework in the last three hours before it’s due
"When was the last time you needed that?" is the Fuddiest anyone can Fudd.
It is one small step from telling anyone who has never had to draw their firearm in a hostile situation to stop carrying a firearm.
8:56 so smooth with it
Dudes too good for lights like wtf you got night vision or something? Go back to tactical lanterns?😂
New Loadout just dropped
@@PurgeTimedude. Stop. Do you need attention that badly? Get therapy. 😂
i wanna poop!!
Brandon, a wise man once said "I would rather be overprepared then underprepared." and I stand by that.
Awesome Brandon!
When this vid first came on I was like "wait, what happened to Donut Operators face". 😂 Same kinda energy and style
About the lights on guns i think the phrase " better have it and not need it, then need it and dont have it" fits quit well
The reason you shouldn't use a gun-light is because if it's mounted to your weapon and you're using it to search an area, you're pointing your gun at every single thing and person you're shining the light on. That's why instructors like Masad Ayoob suggest carrying the flashlight in your free hand and keeping your gun low ready so you don't accidentally shoot the wrong person.
This would be a great argument if there was a law forbidding you from having a flashlight both on your gun and off of it
@@RESNone208
Missed the point. Light being on the gun enables bad habits, better to not have it there in the first place.
@@fluidthought42 That's a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater if I've ever heard one.
@@fluidthought42 I have seen people posting about using mounted lights for things they should use a handheld one for and saying it was why they needed a mounted one. Or suggesting quick detach lights forgetting that you still have to draw to get it out.
I’d argue that a gun light is fine, but it should never be the only light you carry. Have another flashlight too.
Those new fangled flashlights.....and a quiet acorn that a "veteran" cop somehow thought was a Glock.
I've been listening to that Marty Robbins album for the past few weeks. So good.
Spent my Valentine’s Day on family day!!!!! Feels good
That SDI mention was so smooth i mistook it for a suppressed shot hitting my car.
Whole argument boils down to better to have and not need the to need and not have.
Mr. Herrera, thanks for the laugh and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your election!
You know UA-cam has a sense of humor when you get an AcornTV ad in the middle of the Acorn cop segment of the video.💀
