In this segment from the Wilson Combat Channel, host Massad Ayoob discusses the crucial role of high-capacity magazines in modern firearm defense, emphasizing the changing landscape of criminal activities. Highlighting the need for increased ammunition capacity in the face of coordinated attacks and evolving threats, Ayoob introduces an 18-round Wilson magazine as an example. The discussion takes a poignant turn as the host expresses concerns about the impact of magazine restrictions on individuals with physical disabilities, questioning the compassion behind such limitations. Focusing on the challenges faced by wheelchair-bound and physically challenged individuals, Ayoob advocates for a paradigm shift in self-defense strategies.

10 years ago my concealed carry class instructor asked the class of about 40 people, "Why do you want to carry a firearm?" There was about a 3 second silence until someone in the back piped up, "Because I'm too old to run." Today I'm his age.
Amen.
Yeah, my age and an artificial knee... I'm not running.
I've got arthritis in my lumbar spine, so I sure as hell can't carry a cop.
Always liked the reply “ Because I can’t carry a cop “
Yeap. I myself am getting to tgat point. With added health issues and spine problems. I myself made the decision last December to be a Florida licensed concealed carrier
CRIMINALS DON'T FOLLOW LAW'S.. THANK YOU MAS.
I agree, it sucks my state limits to 10 rounds
Great comment as always Mik
All gun laws are infringements.
hmmmm 🤔 kinda, sorta the definition of ‘criminal.’
Who woulda thunk. The politicians know that as well. Therefore, they must be intentionally restricting their citizens.
Laws restrict honest people
Ever notice that the people wanting to limit the magazine capacity for civilians, have armed guards with high capacity magazines, and often full auto weapons to protect them? They see themselves as so much more important than the average citizen.
Rules for thee, not for me.
Ever notice how many of the 'bad guys' are fictional?
@@OllamhDrab The real "bad guys" are in the halls of government.
They also know diddly about firearms.
Rules for thee but not for me - that's their credo.
Like ALL gun laws, magazine limits only affect the law-abiding.
True. Well said, friend.
Just like "GUN-FREE ZONE" signs.
@@pb68slab18 What? You mean to say that bad guys don't understand how much trouble they're in when they take a gun into a "No Gun Zone"?
Most 'gun-free' zones are under private property rules, and not enforceable, or not prosecutable. Even when there are laws on the books, they are the first thing plea-bargained away.@@markl2322
Politician like the number "10" is because they can only count up to 10.
I turn 58 Friday. This year more than any other I’ve felt aging creeping in. I swear I was 32 just a few weeks ago.
52 next month and feel the same way as you.😉
Wait until you're 74, if you are fortunate.
Getting old is tough, although it beats the alternative.
I just turned 66 on the 9th. I KNOW I was 26 on Monday of this week (Christmas).
I know, i am still 17 between the ears and the rest somehow got 50 years older
Amen! And let me tell you, I turned 70 this year and it’s a whole lot different than 65!
I am in a wheelchair and am glad to see you address the fact that we wheelchair bound individuals only have one option, and that is fight.
No one should ever be required to run or hide prior to defending themselves by any means necessary. Stand your ground should be the law of the land.
I'm a licensed security officer, FDACS.gov & Army veteran. My issue with DHS-City of Houston Texas Run Hide Fight is: if the terror group or spree shooter plants 💣 or threatens to detonate IEDs 🗣 then your "hide" plan isn't working! If you honestly think that isn't a major issue, review the 2016 🏳️🌈 Pulse Night Club terror incident. Omar Mateen. Note- Mateen was killed at the scene by SWAT, FBI.
Great video and great points ! As a 64 year old with bad knees, I can't run, nor squat down. Crawling on my hands and knees-forget it. That leaves me with #1- try to avoid places where bad things can happen. #2- Self awareness to sense trouble before it happens. #3- Fight.
Don't forget to get a good legal aid or law firm plan to assist you after a trauma or lethal force event ☠️. I've had my paid legal service ■■■■ since 2015. ⚖️ A + factor is the group's law advisor lives near my metro area!
As someone with lifelong disabilities due to Cerebral Palsy I appreciate this video. I carry a Glock 19 with two spare reloads. I am not wheelchair bound but have been in the past. I am glad I live in a free state where magazine capacity limits aren't a thing.
Two spare mags are probably over kill, bro. It’s already very rare to do a reload in self defense situation.
My nephew is in a wheelchair. How dare the government doesn't allow for him to help himself.
@donkonwheels he's got cp so he can't shoot a gun. But his dad has some. He would be tied to his son while defending the house so it would be like he would be crippled also.
Well, they haven't....yet. But Cotton Eye Joe sure does keep tryin'.
Because governments are the largest organized criminal and terrorist organizations on the surface of the earth right now. As it has always been that way throughout history. More humans died because of 'governments' than any other causes in total.
An old insurance companies slogan said:" Is better have it and don't need it than need it and don't have it". With the shortage in law enforcement agents all around America and a surplus of crazy lunatics, that old proverbs makes more sense than ever.
You are 100% correct! I'm disabled and walking with a cane. I have owned guns almost my whole life. With everything going on I got away for my sub-compact carry gun and switched to a Glock 19. I wanted more capacity. It's still compact, but with 15 round mags. I also carry 2 spare mags for a total of 45 rounds.
I use a cane too. My hands have arthritis witch make mag swaps harder. The recoil caused me to go from a 1911 to a Taurus G3C. The extra rounds seem like a great idea to me because of more criminals working together.
Another reason I feel I need to be careful is because criminals can see I am in pain and could be a source of drugs. There have been people mugged outside of pharmacies because of the possibility that they have pain meds.
I can't run. I can't physically fight. Should I be forced to submit to criminals because of that? I know, I'll tell them robbing or assaulting me is a violation of the ADA. That'll show em.
@@stevenwagner9912 They would probably laugh at you and hit you harder and/or hit you more times until you give them everything you have !!
My 31 year old son, did two tours in the Afghanistan, Marine Corp infantry. He's in a wheelchair now. He just got his ccw back in California. Reloading a magazine is VERY difficult and not an advantageous situation. I agree with you sentiment one hundred percent. Thank you for spreading the truth.
You're 100% correct! I'm disabled and also a new firearms owner. This puts me 2 major disadvantages to criminals, which is why I have standard capacity mags, the highest I can afford. Thank you for your content sir
SAME. WELL, SAID FRIEND.
All gun laws are infringements.
Glad you are able to protect yourself. I have a 10+1 for concealed carry. But like you I am a new firearms owner (Ive been to the range maybe 10x in my life, twice with my conceal carry gun). I am concerned about capacity in a self defense situation, I simply cannot afford to do the training I need right now. More capacity would make me feel more secure during a home invasion as a beginner.
@@airthrowDBT Take a shopping trip to a free state...
@Isaac_5.56x45 Thats the plan my friend
Given the number of "armed got-aways" that have illegally entered the U.S., there should not be any "mag limits" for law-abiding citizens in the U.S.
Given the Second Amendment... period.
Listen to reason.
This man knows how to survive multiple attacks, & I agree with 💯 %.
Mas is the man I want in my corner if I get in a position where I need professional help!
Him and Jerry Miculek! Get Some!
@@FuzzyWCTXand Lena!
@@FuzzyWCTX You beat me to the punch, I was about to post the same thing because he is not only extremely accurate, he is also as fast as a machine-gun👍🤠🤣‼️
@@Tankman333 I agree 100%, the three of them would make for an AWESOME Defense and Freedom from Tyranny team👍🤠🤣‼️‼️
Thank you!
I'm elderly. Have arthritis in both hands.
I live rural, the cops would take far too long to defend me, if they even respond.
I live in a ""Snowflake " state.
Believe me. I WILL defend myself as I retreat.
No help would arrive to provide intervention in time.
So, I practice shot placement .
At 78, if my home is invaded, I will indeed first run and hide in the closet like you said. That's where I keep the rifle with a loaded 30-round magazine, and two loaded spares. Good advice, Mass.
I'm all busted up, nearly 60, and RUNNING is not an option. I will not be burdened with trying to HIDE in my tiny one bedroom apartment from uninvited criminals. FIGHT is my ONLY option.
Outstanding video Ma's. I am a disabled vet, and my condition limits me from the full freedom to protect my family and myself. And my other handicap is the laws in Massachusetts limiting my right to fully protect myself and family with a standard round magazine. Which with my weapon of choice is a gen 2 Glock 23 forty cal. 13 round magazine. I am limited because of the state that we reside in. Stupid, unfair,unsafe for me,and just plain wrong. I'm a vet,former military police, and town law enforcement officer, yet as my condition and age increases, my rights of protection diminish. Thanks again for the vidio.
@2:38. The recent shooting here at UNLV in Nevada is a good example of this. A young student has gone to the Las Vegas Review Journal, our local paper, looking to thank the good samaritan that had pushed her to safety during the incident. She wants to highlight the fact that disabled persons are often overlooked in emergency situations.
To be clear, part of DHS Run Hide Fight doctrine is to NOT 🚫 stop or help, render aid to others: wounded seniors ♿️ etc.
An excellent alternative argument.
All valid points.
Funny how the logic in these arguments somehow seems to keep getting forgotten...
" shall not be infringed" I'll keep and use whatever I see fit to use.
Thanks as a recent amputee lower leg 77 years old,great subject. Take care
You are truly a treasure and I wish these videos were nationally broadcast. Our idiot politicians don't have any common sense let alone compassion. Thank you for stating what needs to be said and addressed.
Keep the great info coming Mas!
It’s all about overreach and power over people
This is very important for politicians to learn about their desicion and outcome of their ignorance affects the people who they represent and serve 😮
They fear armed constituents! Yet we pay for their armed protection! 🤨
I'm overjoyed to have an intelligent man like you spearheading modern 2nd amendment defending voices and helping and educating your fellow citizens on self defense. You are a national treasure Mr. Ayoob.
Mas Ayoob has been around lethal force training, 2A issues, outdoors-match-hunting for years. I recall reading his printed content, articles in the mid 1980s. I'm 53 now! ✅️
I live in Connecticut and cry about 10 rounds, Never thought about the people out there who have a harder time than me with their fire arm. Thanks for showing us Mas.

Friendly Reminder that 327 Federal Magnum chambers 32 S&W Long which has no recoil plus 32 H&R and 327 Fed Mag! It’s the best Snub Nose Cartridge!
Thank you for pointing out about the disabled. I am wheelchair bound and so many people who have said just to run and hide. Today I carry as often as I can in a fanny pack or shoulder holster. I have tried belt, but with my chairs that doesnt work as well. It also takes me a little more time to get my spare mag out of my pack, and if it drops, im SOL. I wish more people (those who push for limits) would understand that more.
They don't care because it is all about total control over the lives of the people, and it has NEVER been about safety !!
Well said Sir. Being 68 I've slowed down a lot and as for running I don't think so! It's not the age it's the mileage as Indiana Jones said. Thank you Sir and I hope you put out more content for us older folks with lots of miles on our bodies.
It was a lot more fun being in my 20's in the 70's than being in my 70's in the 20's!
@@dontall71 I feel your pain sir,same here!
I will not comply with unconstitutional infringements on the rights given by my Creator.
Now that I’m older I consider myself and my wife as soft targets, both on the street or at home. I set up with a 12ga semi as primary in case of an invasion with a .45 backer - 8 + 1 but my preference for stopping power. Great information from your with a lot of common sense
I'm considering tangle foot, razor wire, trip flares, and claymore mines....but that's just how us old Marines tend to overdo things.
I have a Taurus G3 I carry 17 in the magazine and one in the chamber. I have 3 mags and soon 4. I want to be able to defend myself when the time comes.
Well said sir I am handicap person with the loss of my hearing in both ears. Even with hearing aids I am still behind the 8 ball. Welcome from deep behind enemy lines in the gun hateing socialist state of California! The socialist home of 10 round magazine as a lifetime military dependent growing up . My father taught me shoot like your life depends on it , clean your weapon like your life depends on it, at the moment of truth don't hesitate! I also I'm a frim believer in senuational awareness. I also have 2 Female's mutl colors brendals Belgium Mel Rock yes it's a tag team affair. The are one hell of a security team to watch there sense of smell, hearing an sight is truly amazing! Take care everyone an stay safe an watch your six an keep your powder dry. Not everyone drinks the socialism cool aid here in commie Land! A patriotic American gun owner
💯 agree. As someone with Cerebral palsy on my left side. I myself have issues on magazine changes. That doesn't stop me from my training and getting better.
I've always been in great shape till cancer took a toll on me. I still have the duty of protecting my wife but in NY they say 10 round mags should solve any issue. I don't understand the logic of the state honestly. Instead of carrying one gun now I carry 2, "The New York Reload". Faster and if needed I could arm a second person.
Amen Mas! We stroke survivors with hemiplegia don't reload so fast. Those pistol braces come in quite handy for us too.
Massad, you have made some good points! I’m 43 years old and was an avid weightlifter and in pretty good shape up until this past May, I had 2 different surgeries done on my left knee at the same time and I have not been the same physically since! My running ability has gone way down since then! I’m not able to retreat like I once was.
Message received! Been training my family in all aspects of the now day criminal. They don't care or obey the laws us law abiding citizens have to comply with. These anti-gun grabbers are making it more difficult to defend ourselves.
I have arthritis in both hips and use a rollator, walker with wheels, to get around. For years, I have carried my Walther PPS M2 with an 8 round magazine when I go into the office. I carried it when I worked for UnitedHealth Care, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and now State Farm Insurance. Because of it's size, it's the perfect pocket pistol and I carry it in a sticky holster. I have had to endure BS safety training about the Federal Government's 'recommendation about run, hide, fight. Every office I've worked in had an open floor plan with literally 200 to 300 cubicle desk within eyesight. Most of these spaces required a badge to access the office. Glass doors, and glass windows around the doorframe. During one training, I asked the facilitator, a VP from HR, exactly how I was supposed to follow the run, hide portion of the recommended safety protocol. Her suggestion, 'Well, if you can't run walk as fast as you can. If you get tired and can't make it to safety, hide under a desk.' I chuckled and explained after walking 200 yards I needed to sit down on my walker because of the burning pain in my hips. I then told her, if I were to fall in the office, the paramedics would need to be called to help me up and make sure I hadn't fractured a hip, so getting down on the floor to hide under a desk was not an option. Her next suggestion was, 'Maybe you can sit on your walker and someone can push you to safety.' Sitting on the walker I would be facing backwards, and in all the chaos I can see me being pushed and knocked off my walker and ending up with a head injury. Corporate America is just too worried about guns in the workplace because everyone knows the bad guys never break the rules. I even asked why we needed the run, hide, fight policy because weapons were prohibited in the building. My supervisor was shocked, and I was given a written warning about my attitude. Funny thing was 2 coworkers told me don't worry I've got you covered if something goes down. They both let me know they carried at work as well.
Great points. I'm 62 and just two months ago I was working in the garage and fell off a ladder and broke my tibia. I'm using a walker now and next it will be crutches and then a cane. My knee will most likely have to be totally replaced. I would have to stand and fight.
Thank you sir. You're a jewel.
Regards from South Central Indiana . ❤
Mas, you really hit home when you mentioned flaring sciatica and physical limitations that would make someone who is otherwise very sharp in the mind, more limited physically. I used to move a lot faster than I do now. The standard cap magazine for a full size 9mm auto loader has always been somewhere around 17rds... These people are dense and all they are doing is pushing for and parroting these ideas so they can "seem" like they are smarter. The circles they run in hire armed security with the same magazines they are trying to eliminate.
I worked at a well known hospital chain in Fl. for ten years. As active shooter alerts became more frequent over the years in the hospital, management would tell us to "run, hide, or fight on our unit! Management didn't want to hear anyone questioning this policy. They told us that they had an "open campus" which made it difficult to secure from unwanted intruders! When I brought up the fact that the employees were very concerned for the safety of everyone in the building, they turned a deaf ear to this concern, but all of the administrators offices were outfitted for high security protection, leaving the rest of the hospital to fend for itself!
Thanks Massad. You did a good job of advocating those of us who are 2A advocates to emphasize the WE are the moral and compassionate ones.
At 77, I’m simply not as physically fit as I was 20 or 40 years ago. However, even if I were in my mid-thirties, I’d entirely agree with this video’s premises. Why? Not only due to lawful personal defense, but also because armed felons will be stopped ONLY when they fear those of us who live responsibly and legally. The pain FACT is law enforcement is far from omnipresent - the great irony is the very politicians and other elitists who which to severely imitate firearms ownership also seek to reduce police funding - which means “We the People” are compelled both to defend innocents and to demonstrate to lawbreakers that crime simply does not pay. How can this be done without adequate defensive armaments?
Due to extensive injuries, I walk with a cane and haven't been able to 'run' in almost 40yrs. While I do own 13~15-shot cap pistols (BHP, CZ75), My most often carried pistols are a .45 cal 1911, or a 5-shot J-frame. Point or instinct shooting used to be encouraged in the gun rags in the 70s. Higher capacity mags have taken the place of training, practice, shot placement, etc. Stray bullets and innocent bystanders are a concern that is not often addressed.
I am disabled, But Not Limited, I Swear!!! Except where i am. And a Liberal nutball who "cares?!? about Life?" Doesn't care about when and where my disabilities make me vulnerable. Thank you for caring. I followed you for many years.
Excellent points. I'd just add that the handicapped often have caregivers (I myself am one) who aren't going to leave their loved behind in such a situation and may be responsible for defending BOTH us. Politicians are often soulless sociopaths without the slightest bit of compassion towards victims of gun crimes. They know that an armed citizenry is the last bulwark against THEIR criminality.
Well said sir ! I totally agree - take care .
His knowledge and ability to communicate surpasses anyone I’ve ever seen. Thank you
"Being able-bodied is temporary."
I had been an active person for many years, until a knee injury slowed me down. I cannot run. Period. It's darned hard to crouch to hide, unless I simply allow gravity to get me to the floor, and even then I have to consider whether I would land in a position that would allow me to slither to concealment or cover. Happily, my strong hand is still fairly strong, and my weak hand is fairly agile and strong.
I have too many people in my circle who lack the dexterity to manage even a Shield EZ, and some of those folks lack the ability or will to learn to use such and practice with it enough. Happily, they don't seem to face much likelihood of an invader, even as I recognize that many here will say that my people are not immune.
One person close to me had a .25ACP pistol (purchased about forty years ago), and after some discussion, decided that it was more of a danger to them than to any intruder. It's been sold. They had a shotgun, but their physical situation is such that the shotgun would be VERY hard for them to manage (it is more of a hunting piece than a home defense piece, and while I recognize that just about any firearm is better than no firearm in time of need, well...). They're almost better off with an Airsoft replica of a SigSauer P365 with the orange bits removed.
As someone who is likely far left of most of your readers' positions in a political sense, I firmly feel that every one of us has the right to defend ourselves. I am most assuredly NOT coming to take away your firearms, and I decry any efforts by politicians to do so.
This is an amazing argument and one I've not heard before. I will use this. Thank you
My brain can't fathom the " run away,hide, fight " mentality. The only thing that does is give the threat more time. Imagine running away and hiding from a kitchen fire before using the fire extinguisher.
I learn something from every single one of Mas' videos.
Excellent! Thank you! #2A❤
Great points. I wish Gov Phil Murphy would watch that segment. Thanks mass.
Thank you, Mas, for addressing and defending those of us with disabilities Brother!
I don't wanna have to reload... that's why!
Excellent points! We're judged by how we treat people who are less fortunate than us.
Well , you just made a great point yourself ! Sooo true - Thanks sir .
While all that you say is true, I EDC a Commander 1911 in .45ACP. Eight in the mag, one up the pipe, and another 10 on my belt.
USUALLY
Because I live on a horse ranch in very rural AZ and feel perfectly protected with this setup since I DON'T GO STUPID PLACES AT STUPID TIMES WITH STUPID PEOPLE.
My nightstnd pistol, however, is a WC EDC X9 with 18 rounds in the mag and one up. Though I'd more likely grab my M1A with 20 rounds or my AR 15 with 30.
I understand your point about the elderly or infirmed, I suppose. Though I do think mags with greater capacity tend to encourage a very dangerous "spray and pray" mentality.
This prevelent fascination with capacity is, IMHO, a weird fetish. For police and others who go looking for trouble, it makes sense. For me, 19 rounds of effective .45s in a pistol I am much more than competent with, is the best solution for my EDC.
True enough. Eight rounds is more than enough to break contact. Once behind cover, an extra mag or two should be adequate in preventing an attacker's highly unlikely pursuit.
It's assinine that in some states, my 12-round mag is illegal because it's considered a "high-capacity magazine".
At 74 my 5x5 drill is getting a bit more scattered due to my wrist strength. In my home , if my rear door is breached, I have less that 10 seconds to react and there is no escape route from the family room. Any restriction in magazine capacity places a round count value on my life. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NO POLITICIAN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO.
Great video sir. Here in Israel most bow buy high calacity magazines to also deal with Hamas who, as you mentioned, work in groups and waer body armor.
My paternal grandmother was a Polish Jew. My father fought in WWII. I'm amazed by the anti-gun feelings of most Jews here in the US!
@@pb68slab18 It surprises me too
Every serious, scholarly study of Magazine Capacities has shown overwhelmingly that Capacity Restrictions have no effect. Restrictions do not protect lives.
In Illinois, our joint committee on administrative rules just refused the emergency rule update that clarified a lot of the excessive vagueness and answered many of the questions we have about shotgun mag tube extensions, handgun mags with detachable floorplates not passing the "readily converted or restored" test, and things of that nature. The law is so abusively vague, overly broad, self contradictory, lacking clarifying or specifying language, and so ignorantly and poorly written, that anyone who knows anything about guns, is completely unsure of what in their collection they have to register or where they can use it.
So my "high capacity" mag is the five-round cylinder in my Smith & Wesson Model 69. If the state won't let me have enough sensible ammunition in my firearm to get the job done, and then won't even let me have a straight answer on what they will permit me to carry as an alternative, then I'm going to carry a round for which there is very little doubt about efficacy.
Illinois is the only place where you can switch from a modest 9mm carry gun to a .44 magnum, and say with a mostly straight face that you're doing so in order to comply with a public safety law.
Is there anyone out there that explains things better than Massad?
People really need to put in a little Mas before bedtime. He’ll sooth you to sleep with his rational and reason. 💤
Great statement sir!!
I made this exact point about disabled and elderly being the way to out "empathy" the gun grabbers about 20 years ago. It's about time to put it in the mainstream. I've never heard anyone else beat this drum.
What an amazing monologue. Great work.
You are one of the smartest guys out there. Most people would never think like you do. You bring up things I never thought of before. Thanks.
Thank You Mr. Ayoob for all your experience and teaching. I Love watching you. I have learned so much. Please Please don't ever stop. From the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
Thank you mossad, I am 79 years old and a Vietnam infantry veteran. 3 weeks ago I had surgery on my right thumb on my dominant hand. I have several handguns that I carry and also are in my home. Even after I go through physical therapy rehab I like me will have difficulty in performing a competent magazine reload. Although I live in a small town in Indiana I nonetheless have a threat of home invasion from bad guys. My largest capacity handgun is a Beretta 96 with 12 rounds. I do have an AR-15 with a capacity of 30 rounds but obviously that is a weapon that is more difficult to assess in an emergency
Excellent argument ❤
I Love This Guy He Definitely Knows His Stuff 😊😇😊 Massad Ayoob It Would Be Awesome Too Learn From The Master 😊😊😊😀
Thank you Mas, we all must not forget that we ARE WeThePeople and we must do all we can to get our elected representatives to protect our freedom to self defense without ANY infringements such as limits to magazine capacity. Also, to let you know that my new and highly rated orthopedic surgeon is soon to remove the arthritis from my long ago injured right hand so to not only ease/eliminate that pain but to greatly enable rehabilitation to improve hand strength.
My surgeon tells me it’s never too late to counter or slow down the effects of aging by exercise and weight training which can also help offset osteoporosis. This surgery is to unfuse the thumb base joint which was jammed at age 15 in a basketball game. I got tough by enduring the pain and am glad I finally found a good surgeon who knows how to fix this.
[Mas we do need help at times to rack the slides easier. For that my new NDZ slide rackers arrived today!!!]
God’s blessings to you Mas, we lift you in prayer everyday.
Im 21 years old and had sciatica since i was 17. Had surgey, so now im slowly healing, but wow, what an amazing point. I literally can't run or briefly walk faster than a quick pace. If guns were gone, I'd be at the mercy of criminals.

CCW carrier. It is challenging and now with the dumb Gov Newsome signing into law changes for CCW carriers. Wonderful . Just give the advantage to the criminal. Mr Ayoob ,
Can you elaborate on this new law and where we stand with it ? I heard there was a judge that put a block on it but where do we stand as of now ?
Thank you. I had a lot of surgeries this year, and while I am not in a chair, I need all the advantage I can get.
At the age of 40 I Brook my neck. Spinal cord almost completely severed. Replaced two vertebra, Dr. Said I was lucky I could walk. I didn't get it until I went back to work.
I was an athlete, journeyman carpenter in the union and reserve Deputy sheriff. Worked the jail and court house. I never thought I would be in a disadvantage in a fight.
The effects or nerve damage are noticable quite a while after the surgery. Mussels shrink even with exercise.
Standard mags in CA 10 rd.
As Le I was accustomed to "high capacity" mags. Now I carry 3 guns.
Thank you, sir, and God bless!
Well said
No criminal crosses into California, pulls over at the rest stop to read the gun laws, and exclaims "holy smokes my magazines hold too many rounds!". Further he doesn't pop a uturn into the previous state toss his mags in a ditch, and return to California to the nearest FFL, during business hours, to buy compliant magazines... All so that he can legally possess his firearm (to avoid a possible tack on charge) while smuggling drugs.
As a paraplegic in a wheelchair this is exactly what I've been trying to explain to people. Thankfully I live in a state that doesn't have restrictions however there is still plenty of crime.
Massad Ayoob you are the greatest. I missed the opportunity to take some classes from you at yoir school in New England years ago. Wish I could have. Now I'm 66 and disabled, back, knees, arthritis in hands also getting old isn't the problem, it's the ailments that go with it that do. And now..limit my ability to defend myself and loved ones..I don't think so skippy.
I still cary a 5 shot snubby but not too often . Glock 26 with 12 round mag. Reloads are 17 round Glock 17 mags. I miss my 1911 but I'm having trouble operating the slide sometimes( arthritis). Carry what you need to get the job done to protect yourself.
Be safe out there.
Mr Ayoob next time can you say "smash that like button" with that same tone cuz that would sound hilarious.
Also thank you for the informitive content!
Spot on. Thank you.
As a wheelchair user most of my life I completely agree with this video. Higher capacity definitely makes sense to me. I wish they would do a video on carry options for wheelchair users.
Another excellent and well thought out video.
Thank you for this. I am in a wheelchair very useful. Huggles from Ohio.

Sadly as a DAV w/messed up hand,bad shoulder & back etc faithfully carried a S&W 380 bodyguard & 2 mags ! So agree w/ur video wish I could carry bigger pistol. THkfully home defense nother story w/my trusty pump shootgun w/laser sight Good 2go !! TY
I'm in a wheelchair. I have to use a belly band holster, and it's not easy to quick draw, but I am going to modify it, to accept a normal retention holster, to hopefully make it easier and faster to draw.
Maybe a shoulder holster or a chest rig will work better for you.
Amen to Mr. Ayoob.
Thank you, Sir, for bringing this great point up! God bless everybody and happy new year!
