I know you aren't fond of open carry, but where are the statistics for the "you'll be the first to get shot"? I've seen interviews with criminals that say they'll stay away from what might be a threat to their plans. I open carry and have for quite some time now. I've never had an issue. Why do so many people hate on it when cops do it every day?
as a goodwill ambassador for firearms and firearm ownership how do we best go about being pro-active in getting new people involved / converting antigunners?
I have 2 or three really nice pistols that I carry on a regular basis that I made by myself and for myself using 80% frames and high quality components. I am very proficient and comfortable with them, what are the pros and cons of carrying them, especially if they ever have to be deployed?
My wife walked in while I was watching this video and she said “ Oh look at him with his little basket of questions! He's like Mister Rogers for guns spread good words to the neighborhood” 😂😂
This man is a encyclopedia of knowledge. And has the experience to go with it. I have several of his books too. Bought way before the information age we have now. Keep up the teaching lessons of experience.
Slacker deluxe+He's awesome isnt he? Ive been a fan since 2015, when I first got my CPL. I just made a post saying "MY BIGGEST CONCERN AS A CONCEALED CARRIER IS, should I have the misfortune of being unjustly prosecuted by an overzealous, 2nd amendment hating city attorney, is not being able to acquire Mr. Ayoob's services as an expert witness at my trial! I have never had the pleasure of watching trial footage where he testifies, but I believe, he would kick tons of ass, both as an expert witness and at helping your attorneys develop a second to none defense that would undoubtedly have no other outcome other than seeing justice prevail." I would never want to be an attorney, prosecuting a 50/50 trial and have Madsad testify on the defense 's behalf. Nope.
A million thanks to Wilson Combat for making available the legendary wisdom and experience of Mr. Massad Ayoob. In today's world, solid, reliable advice such as his has become quite rare and therefore many times more valuable. I treasure every video.
Massad, you are such an asset to the firearm culture and our 2nd Amendment, thank you so very much! God bless you & may he keep you safe! Thanks to Wilson Combat for having you.
I took LFI 1 years ago in Connecticut. Two days on the range, Friday evening after range time with instructors I went to the lounge to see if anyone else from the class was there, one of the instructors was there talking to this guy, waved me,over said join us and as I sat down was introduced to Mas! Highlight of my life, sat and talkedfor over an hour!
"Extreme social dysfunction emergency!" Mas, never lose your sense of humor! Not only is your advice right on the bullseye, but your funnies make them all the better! We're laughing like crazy over here!
I'm 77 yr old unimpressed by MOST all people, this man I would be honored to and would like to call friend. If he ever acts ded the annual shot show in Vegas would drive the 17 hours from my home to meet and hear him.
Thank you for answering my question Mr. Ayoob. I value your opinion and felt that the answer was very logical. I have family in restricted states and these are the thoughts that often go through my mind in preparation for a visit. I appreciate you clarifying the predicament and helping me make a decision.
@@MagicPrepper I just picked up a Wilson Experior commander double stack with a dot and I can’t wait to go shoot it. Meet me at the range. Also just a FYI a bunch of instructors I’ve trained with don’t like 10 round mags in guns they were meant for due to reliability. They recommend using a gun that was actually built for that capacity mag, like a Glock 26, they said a Glock 19 with a 10 round mag wasn’t as reliable, just sharing the wisdom shared with me. TPR
A lot of people might like to meet a Hollywood celebrity or a famous singer. I would like to shake the hand of Mas Ayoob as this man has done so much for the Gun community. Thanks Mas for all you do and I hope to meet you in person someday.
I have carried a Colt series 80 1911 now for 30+ years. I am retired military with years of training. I have always been taught that when I have a threat infront of me that I have to point my weapon at, the safety thumb safety is off. When I come off of the target, the safety is back on. I personally don't agree with having my weapon on a threat with the safety on only to disengage it to fire the weapon. I always have my trigger finger outside the trigger guard anyway. I guess it all comes down to how your initially trained. Like I said, from years of military trainig, when the weapon is up and on target the safety is off and my finger is ready to pull the trigger. Off target, safety on.
I really enjoy & value your Q&A sessions. Given that the average EDC practitioner will probably finish their lifetime of daily carry without ever having to perform a defensive display of their weapon, let alone proceed any farther toward the self preservation goal, it's advisable & necessary to continually review these kinds of Q&A sessions, in my opinion. Thanks for all that you have done for the gun community, legally & logically.
When someone can speak this good and answer questions this fast iv heard you need to know 10 times more about the subject to speak in this fashion ,, no doubt this guy has got that covered 👍
Indeed, Mr. Ayoub is a treasure of knowledge & practical wisdom! Re post defense insurance…absolutely! I wouldn’t carry without it, it can be a lifesaver keeping one out of prison even when you were 💯 % in the right. Keep the issuer’s card with the 24/7 attorney hotline phone number with you every time you carry your gun. Read self defense books put out advising in how to conduct yourself after a self-defense incidents, and follow it. Be sure to call 911 immediately after the life-threatening event has passed, and dummy-up about providing details related to the event to LE other than you were fearing for your life, and any requests made for EMS services. Then call the attorney hotline number before the police arrive, politely invoking your 4th, 5th & 6th Amendment rights until you’ve been advised otherwise by your attorney. Again, politely but firmly resist goadings to provide LE investigators anything until you’ve been advised by your attorney. Definitely buy the insurance!
Mr. Ayoob, I purchased my first handgun in 1983, when I was 26 years old. I don't remember why, but I also bought "In the Gravest Extreme" I read the book and it was foundational to my core education and wakeup call on the spectrum of defensive firearm use. You said that if you use a gun in self defense, even if you were 100% justified in the end, you should expect to be arrested. That was a hard slap to reality about what I was learning. That was a great book sir, thank you.
Massad I am a ccw NRA/USCCA instructor the one line suggestion to say I preformed a defensive display of my firearm when speaking to police is priceless and possibly the best piece if information I have ever heard stated. I plan to use that in my classes. Thank you for a brilliant job.
Loved his excitement when he said he did this for fun. So rare a person gets to truly enjoy their job and to do something that may save a life someday is so valuable. Thanks for your wealth of knowledge
Good advice Massad. Mike Harries was a personal friend of mine. Because of my career Mike was a mentor & taught me many firearms tactics, which contributed to my 30 years of surviving! Massad keep up the good work for Wilson’s Company. 👍😊🇺🇸
Thanks Mas, all these years and you're still teaching me. Daily carry: Beretta 92 SB Compact Italy circa 1982. Two spare mags, with a Cold Steel Recon 1 knife as well. Custom built by me for me. Be safe brother....thank you!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are very complimentary about some of the other experts on " Lawfull use of Lethal Force " : but I personally have ALWAYS considered you the best ! ALWAYS 👍
You're an amazing speaker with a wealth of knowledge and I continually find myself learning things that I never considered. Another great video, thank you so much!
Your statement "use the gun that works best for you" is spot on. I guess I am an anomaly, for me that happens to be a Colt SAA. Probably because that is the handgun I learned to shoot nearly 70 years ago. It has a "pointability" I have never been able to duplicate with any other type handgun. At a distance ot 10 yards or less the gun shoots where I look without use of the sights, even in near dark conditions. Back in Jan, '73 the gun saved my life late one night when shot at by a home intruder in near total darkness. All I could see was a very dim silhouette briefly illuminated by his muzzle flashes. I double tapped two shots that impacted within 2 inches at a range of 12 feet. Would I recommend a Colt SAA to others? Absolutely not!
“When should you pull the trigger?” When the need is so dire that you are no longer concerned about the consequences of pulling the trigger. In other words, if you have time to ask yourself “should I shoot?” You shouldn’t. When you actually need to shoot, you will not be sparing a second thought about it
Those who pocket carry should inspect and possibly clean their weapon weekly. I found it gets loaded with lint and crud pretty quickly. Possibly sooner depending your particular environmental conditions.
My wife pocket carry’s a Sig P238 and that needs to be seriously cleaned after a week or two. I remember seeing it after the first two weeks and asking her wtf happened?!?! And of course found out pretty quickly that it’s a genuine thing that happens often. Be well and stay safe out there 👉🏼🇺🇸👈🏼🙏🗽💪🐺
You are a lucky man having a dream job you love. The people who have been fortunate enough to soak in some of your experience and wisdom are also sharing in your luck. I would sure hate to have you on the other side of the isle rather than educating and training people of all walks and believes. You are the voice for many people.
Thank you Massad for always having answers ready, even when questions are controversial, and for not being like lawyers who alway say “Maybe” or “Don’t say anything “
I really enjoyed your answer regarding your favorite 1911. My favorite is also one I received from my father, which means more to from a sentimental perspective than anything else. Thank you for sharing.
Mas your professionalism is un wavering! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have learned extremely valuable insight from you that just might keep me out of trouble if I ever did myself in a position that I have to defend my self with a firearm.
Great show! Along with lubrication, be aware the lint creeps into guns in holsters under shirts. Tight tolerances may mean your gun fails to engage or disengage a component with a somewhat small piece of lint.
Very good video. This man is a genius, very smart. He knows the law he knows everything about firearms. Need more 😊 every week you should do a video and some.
Just want to take a moment to thank you for your videos. I've never carried a firearm but i do know how to handle one and safety protocols. Your videos go beyond that and are very informative. I'm about to get my LTC. And you have taught me things I will remember in the future. So thanks I'll keep watching everything you put out.
I just gained a whole lot of knowledge in only a few minutes. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions and thank you to Wilson Combat and Massage Ayoob for going through them and presenting the best ones for us. I look forward to more later on.
What questions would you like to ask Massad?
I know you aren't fond of open carry, but where are the statistics for the "you'll be the first to get shot"? I've seen interviews with criminals that say they'll stay away from what might be a threat to their plans.
I open carry and have for quite some time now. I've never had an issue. Why do so many people hate on it when cops do it every day?
@ Wilson Combat
2011's vs everything ?
as a goodwill ambassador for firearms and firearm ownership how do we best go about being pro-active in getting new people involved / converting antigunners?
I have 2 or three really nice pistols that I carry on a regular basis that I made by myself and for myself using 80% frames and high quality components. I am very proficient and comfortable with them, what are the pros and cons of carrying them, especially if they ever have to be deployed?
What’s the gun you enjoy shooting the most?

I learn something new every time I listen to Mr Ayoob speak. Grateful that he is so generously sharing his knowledge and experience with us!
He is also a thesaurus of explanation.
1 of the few people that i automatically believe. Ayoob is where the b.s. stops.
No doubt, an SME at many levels
When wise elders speak, I listen.
Seriously, this should be a weekly series.
@Unknown User a whole lot of repeating questions lol, unless we can ask him to complain about politics
I would have given your comment two thumbs up if it had let me.

Love these segments with Mass he’s an icon in my book.
Thank you so much!
I can’t believe Mr. Ayoob just answered my question. I grew up reading his work. Awesome.
Thanks for asking!

This is a very valuable service for the armed citizen. Even better is to sign up for one of Mas' MAG40 or MAG20 class. Time and money well spent!!!
I'm 77 yr old unimpressed by MOST all people, this man I would be honored to and would like to call friend. If he ever acts ded the annual shot show in Vegas would drive the 17 hours from my home to meet and hear him.
Mr. Ayoob, the more I watch your videos, the more I wish I had friends like you!!
Nothing but common sense from this guy. In a world where common sense is not so common.......Thank you
Massad is an excellent gun instructor, but I think in other eras he would had been an excellent long sword or rapier master too
Thank you for answering my question Mr. Ayoob. I value your opinion and felt that the answer was very logical. I have family in restricted states and these are the thoughts that often go through my mind in preparation for a visit. I appreciate you clarifying the predicament and helping me make a decision.
I'm glad we were able to answer it! Thanks for asking. A lot of other people wanted to know that one too!

Thank y'all.
Excellent point about calling 911 after a non-shooting encounter.
Excellent! Please do this again. I can listen to Mr. Ayoob all day long. I learn things still after carrying for 40 years. Will be buying his books.
I knew this would be good. I’d like to hear responses to another batch of top picks
sometime Thanks Mas👍🏻
