As an American it is sad to know that the "Castle Doctrine" (A man's home is his castle, and he is fully permitted to protect it.) we borrowed from English Common Law has been forgotten by the English.
They’re brainwashed peasants…
Yeah, the Brits are slaves.
These guys actually live in Jersey which is not legally England or the UK. Their gun laws are pretty liberal. Everything in the video is legal to own with a licence in Jersey. They're just not gun people.
Not many people actually know about Castle law.
@@davedavids57 That is interesting info. I assumed UK gun laws, i.e., not allowed.
Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
Damn right
Exactly!
Everyday and twice on Sunday.
SUCH a classic!
Shotguns are BY FAR, my fav! I have two 12’s and my wife has a .410 with an “over/under” .22. She LOVES it! We have a .45 pistol, each - and I have an SKS and a couple of .22’s
Good timing, we’ll spoken!
Peace
All day everyday.
"Can't do this in England" That quote is why America exists!!
They don't live in England. They don't even live in the UK.
they are apart of england@@DaibhidhBhoAlba
@@alicerichardson5610 The Channel Islands are not part of England, they're not even part of the UK. That is plainly incorrect. And the words you're looking for are 'a part', not 'apart'.
@@DaibhidhBhoAlbaThey are subjects of the British Crown, and are ruled by the British Parliament.
@@DaibhidhBhoAlbait's very impolite to be a grammar Nazi on social media. You could make that a four-time job. Everyone gets the gist of what each other is saying. They live on the island of Jersey.. just wanted to make that correction . I definitely would not want the geographic Nazis on my ass. Just saying
My wife and I live in the city. I was once at work 30 minutes away while my wife was at home with the kids. She stepped outside to get something and was harrassed by some random guy for 20 minutes who tried to breakin. It took the cops 45 minutes. We learned how to defend our house after that day.
Being from Ohio USA, a stand your ground state I can not even begin to fathom not being legally able to defend yourself or your property.
Make sure it stays that way in America. Don't be like Canada.
And we have castle doctrine
As the Self Defense Lawyer mentioned, expect to spend $100k to defend your actions.😮
The USA is the only country with that mindset. If you have to defend against a part of society then there is something wrong with that society. The only reason I own a firearm is because I like to shoot at the local outdoor range for fun. OMG, a college educated liberal with a gun! If people want a national register to vote and have ID to vote, then we can certainly amend the 2nd to do the same. Both are rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. Not everyone should be able to own a firearm which is in effect a machine designed to kill from a distance with great accuracy.
@@Chvelle68 There is insurance and assistance organizations to help with that.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, The right of the people to keep and bear arms Shall Not Be Infringed"
For all enemy's foreign and domestic whether that be a home intruder or a tyrannical government.
Enemies... get off my side.
Absolutely
More likely than not, a tyrannical govt. 😂 Notice the founding fathers didn't say, "keep and bare arms against home invaders", they knew who the real threat would be
@@ruralandroid4984People like to think it's about self defense, or the retconning that it was about slave revolts. It wasn't. The people who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had just gotten done fighting a war to break away from their own tyrannical government. It was always about that. And since they'd made the choice to not keep a standing army (and they absolutely knew what a standing army was, as the British Army, which had troops in the colonies, was founded in the mid 1600's), the people who made up the militia had to be able to be called upon quickly, which necessitated having their own arms. Which even included cannons.
It's funny when she asks, What's the point if you're going to go down for murder. The point is, that you don't get murdered!
Just to clarify. The Kriss Vector at 16:21 was not automatic that was a semi auto.
That's his "COD" knowledge shining through.
@@kyleb4151I think a better way toward that is, that is his lack of firearm education shining through.
Which to clarify, isn't that big of a problem because how would he know otherwise if he was never shown or told?
I was gonna say this. But you're spot on
LOL when I heard him say that, I thought am I watching The View all the sudden :)
The point of having the 2nd amendment isn't just for protection due to crime, it's to keep government in check.
And protection due to crime. It's to ensure the People can defend themselves against tyranny, whether that be the tyranny of crime or tyranny of a government, either foreign or domestic
Dude it’s not like the FBI and justice department would turn into woke authoritarian criminals.
You can’t keep the govt in check, it’s too late for that. 😂
Thats actually debatable. Nowhere in the writings of the time does anyone meaningfully make that case, and in fact it isnt ever made in a public forum until the beginning of the 20th century. The language of the 2nd ammendment when read in context clearly views regulated personall guns as needed for the ease of raising quick militias for such things as oh.. rounging up escaped slaves
Thats NRA propoganda. find one 18th century scolar that makes the point you are making@@PhycoKrusk
I was the victim of a home invasion in 2019. I will never, ever be defenseless again, will never be a victim again. I will defend my life and the lives of my family without hesitation. I am well "prepared" to do so at all times and I will never give up that right
You're damn right.
Were you anti gun before the home invasion? Or were you in a situation where you simply didn't have access to a gun (yours or otherwise)?
Hell ya
when i was a kid in alabama, three different towns,,,,our home was broken into 4 different times during the work day when no one was home,,,took tvs and guns that were not locked up,,,,we didnt have a safe, i do now, and im packing everywhere i go and even at home if outside or shopping,,,hope i dont need any. Ive been knifed 4 times in bar fights that were not mine and shot once. Dont need to go to those places anymore,,,,havent had a problem since,,,@@PrimericanIdol
Preach!!!!
Watching Brits discover American gun culture is like watching the innocence of children.
The whole "shooting-in-self-defense" and what would legally happen after that completely depends on how pro-criminal the Jurisdiction is.
In California, and New York and some other states, its a potential murder charge. In Texas and Florida, sucks to be the bad guy.
California is a castle state with an addition, it no longer has a duty to retreat clause. So as long as you are IN YOUR HOME and respond with proportional force you'll be fine.
@@OperationValhalla oh nice, didn't know that, thanks
In New York City we aren’t allowed any handguns or rifles/shotguns. Yet this city is riddled with criminals. Hell, we can’t carry a knife for self defense. It’s pretty much illegal to protect ourselves, that’s technically the police job. What a sad city I live in, I can’t wait to get the hell out of this communist state.
100% correct. One of the reasons I moved from NY to AL.
@@michaelwatson7364 Most the memes about California aren't true or realistic. We've got a very healthy population of Conservative Republicans, and entire Counties that are Conservative as well. We just recently had passed high-capacity magazines making their return to the state as well. We've had a Castle Law for ages now, and we absolutely do allow for Concealed Carry with Permit. Most of the shooting ranges are also super easy to access and quite friendly to beginner and veteran alike.
I can't imagine being raised in a place that made me ignorant and fearful of firearms.
Um like California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, and Chicago?
@@travisleeabq All Democrat strongholds...
@@travisleeabqborn and raised in California and not ignorant or fearful of guns.
Seattle is not washington
Majority of people in washington own guns.
Outside of the blue urban areas, the rest of these states are pure red.
As an American, our second amendment is the sole reason I would not want to live anywhere else. In this crazy world the ability to defend yourself in your family is vital. The fact that governments in other countries have taken their citizens ability to self defense away, is mind blowing to me.
This is why it’s sad they seem uncomfortable with the idea of even touching a gun. Their government has conditioned them to be docile.
I’d honestly have already moved to Japan or rural Europe to find better society a LONG time ago, if it wasn’t for the second amendment and my family those are the only two things that keep me here.
@@V0NRH1NE agreed. It's getting insane here but as long as we have 2A I can't justify leaving. Just keep moving away from cities.
In most countries round-the-world the odds of someone coming into your home and trying to harm you is extremely low. In America they just scared us on the media into thinking that we have high risk
@@brianallinson9014 no, they didn’t we’re different. It happens. Often. Stop lying.
The British mind can simply not comprehend fire arm ownership😂
it has been bred out of them through generations of inner-breeding.
Except there are British people who do own firearms.
Even their cops are unarmed.
Yep.
Not many lets face it@@ExtantThylacine
I'm an "American"(Texan) and it's worthwhile to see the perspective of the European. It's entertaining for sure.
its funny watching people be so scared of freedom..
@@willl7780 I know, right? 😆
These people are not European, they are British.
I’m in the US and if someone breaks into my house the only warning they will get from me is the first muzzle flash.
With me round being chambered, then it is game on.
@@avenger007007you may have the rest of your life to chamber that round, Literally. Something to think about.
@@bigham1jbNo, you think before you play stupid games
@@avenger007007 you won't have time to chamber a round , its a harsh lesson to learn.
@@knine8154 you need to read my comment again.
A gun without a chambered round, is just an expensive brick!
Damn, it feels good to be an American! 🇺🇸
For real! 🤣
I just laugh at the sheep living in foreign countries where you need to ask permission from the government for everything... and that makes them feel "safe".
Amen brother😊
@@jasono2139well said my friend
💯 🇺🇸🤙🏻
I've heard the comparison to keeping chickens. These people feel safe, but they are more like someones chickens, guarded, fed, kept safe, looked after, but ultimately are not free.
I cannot wrap my head around your reactions. I sleep with a 9mm in my nightstand. I personally own 4 firearms, and I'm saving for my 5th. I was taught growing up that every girl should learn to shoot.
100%. I recently taught my wife and we got our first comeing and are teaching them when ready
Man or woman you should know. We have a philosophy in our house.
"I as the man am the first line of defense. if I fall, the wife becomes the last for the kids"
When my wife gets home in the evening, she takes her bra off before she takes her holster off. I'm sure there's a conclusion to be drawn from that, but as a man, I just can't put my finger on it... 😁
As a single woman who lives on the edge of the hood, I've always got a 9mm sitting on my nightstand or on my desk. Sometimes my rifle lives on the side of the bed I don't sleep on 😇 Debating what I should get next. I'm the first in my family to own something other than an old hand me down shotgun. Working on getting the rest of my family to come over to the "dark side" 🤣
@@elenamarie25 When my wife gets home in the evening, she takes her bra off before she takes her gun off... if that tells you anything.
Yes every girl should know how to shoot , how to handle guns should carry if able
You know just as much as it surprises you that a lot of Americans own guns, it surprises us American gun owners that other countries don't.
"if youre gonna get done for murder" starkly outlines the contrast across the pond. in the US, in most states, when a person unlawfully enters your home/domicile/property, it constitutes a threat on your life. Prosecutions against homeowners defending their homes against intruders is nearly non existent in the states
Unless you live under democrat rule like New York or California for example.
I live in Illinois, and we have a form of protection in the law called castle doctrine, but you must show that the person who unlawful entered was a threat on your life. That they intended to do harm or violence against your person. Intent is by showing the means, the opportunity, and the action.
@@gothemknight None of which you have the time or the means to determine in the moment. Sorry but they may call that castle doctrine but that's not what castle doctrine is recognized as almost anywhere else and for good reason. If I am not allowed to take action against someone that has breached my castle for any reason then it's not a castle. It's a paper house.
Colorado has "make my day law"... can't shoot anyone in your front yard... but if they come into your house... entirely different conversation can only "retreat"so far...
@haroldlee8110 in NJ you have a duty to retreat, you have to abandon your house if you can. Stupid af
As someone who has grown up around Firearms my entire life, its crazy to me how, for lack of better wording, "Scared" the rest of the world is of guns. I'm glad you guys came in with an open mindset even if it did blow your minds a bit
Afghans don't seem scared of their constant companions....and now.....thanks to us...they've got a lot of new toys to play with!
@@frankpienkosky5688Yemen and Switzerland both have very rich gun cultures.
I feel you, even in places with a relatively high amount of guns, they’ll never truly understand the way that we do, what its like. I started being taught how to shoot when I was just 7 and its never felt unnatural or weird to me
I'm not going to lie their views got on my nerves. There's nothing evil about guns. It's a tool that people use to protect themselves. Evil criminals don't follow the laws so strict gun laws only hurts innocent people. The United States is actually one of the fastest places on earth. A majority of the gun deaths happen in a few select cities.
@@V0NRH1NEMost humans fear what they don’t understand unfortunately.
As a father I can’t imagine living in a country where the government is completely unchecked. Where the government can take your family without a means to protect them.
U can understand now why Britain is a shit hole.I was in London 3 weeks ago and I was shocked.Filty,your mind is blown listening to so many dialects at one time,The English are the minority.the Africans and middle easterners about to take over.
like Canada
America is unchecked 😂
@@Ireallydontlikeyou2 oh yeah go into an Americans home and demand their children and see how unchecked we are 😂. You wouldn’t make it past my front door.
@@MichaelW-vj6wx They won't have to use guns as long as they have your children 8 hours daily 5 days a week.
one thing to note, none of the weapons displayed were automatic, the glock and the vector are semiautomatic, meaning one pull of the trigger fires one shot, where as an automatic weapon sends multiple shots for each pull of the trigger.
The reason why home defense is so important in America isn't entirely because break ins are common. Rather, the place is so huge and spread out. If you live in a rural area the Police could be miles away, the response time could be upwards of 15-30 minutes. That's plenty of time for a trespasser to do serious damage if you can't defend yourself AND plenty of time for them to get away.
We live in a city and the cops take forever to show up; if they do, it's an average of 3-4 hours after the fact. Only if some jerk is throwing crap into the roadway and damages a vehicle, then they are johnny on the spot.
In some urban areas, they aren't even showing up for armed robberies, they tell you to file a police report online, so that could be true no matter where you live these days.
True, England in land mass is smaller than most of the states in the US
They've started viewing movies. It may be time for them to watch, Hush.
haha
@@mplslawnguy3389 correct. Austin TX P.D. issued statement if your are robbed at an ATM machine just file a report via the web.
I'm a 71 year old woman and live alone. Home invasion robberies have happened in my area. They are horrific. I have security bars on my windows and security doors, but what really makes me feel safer is my ability to defend myself. I have a pistol beside my bed and, when a neighbor was talking irrationally and asking to sleep in my back yard, and I could hear him in the street out front I sat up with my pistol in my lap. No, I don't have dementia or Alzheimer's. This is reality where I live
Good on you! How often you go to the range?
@Draelyn haven't been since my husband passed away and I was diagnosed with leukemia. I was a very good shot and I know gun safety. Most importantly, I know that if you draw, you must be ready to shoot if necessary. I won't have it taken from me
May God bless you and put his angels about you and heal you.
You need to move from California
@@michaelhatchcpa why? I'll pass in a short time no matter what. Here, I have my home and my memories around me. I just don't intend to be hurried on my way by strangers breaking in
There was a picture of an old revolver with a saying scratched into the grip. It was something like "no matter how big he be or how small ye be fear none beneath the sky for I will equalize" theres another "God made man, Samuel Colt made man equal" thats the American sentiment towards guns.
As a Texan. Firearms are in my blood. Children who are taught responsibility and safety with them at a young age go on to be responsible law abiding adults that are also usually more confident because they know they don't have to be victims in their homes, but also respect them for what they are and don't think of them as a solution to their social problems. My 11 year old daughter is a surgeon with an AR-15 but she's also VERY respectful and safe with them. She wasn't allowed to even touch them until she could tell me what firearms were and the 3 rules of handling them from memory. She had to know they are a tool, not a toy, and force multipliers and equalizer. She had to remember the rules are first and foremost SAFETY, but muzzle discipline and trigger discipline. They're always locked and unloaded when she's home with the exception of my EDC which is always near me.
3 rules ? I always hear 4. What are your 3 ?
@@tangent_24 always first is safety, muzzle discipline, and trigger discipline. And of course there's other edicts that some owners use, but those 3 were easy for her to understand and remember. What's your 4th one?
@reloadingammo4beginners48 1.Always Keep Firearm Pointed in a Safe direction. Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
2.Treat All Guns as Though They are Loaded.
3.Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger until You are Ready to Shoot.
4.Always Be Sure of Your Target and What's Beyond It.
The Stars at Night are Big and Bright...
My grandfather was born in an oil town called Rexroat TX. God bless TX.

@@tangent_24There is five recently updated don't let the government take your guns
Depends on the state laws, but we have the "castle" doctrine which is if someone breaks in your home, you can defend your home and yourself. Even killing the intruder. the police will consider all killings as a homicide, but it can be dismissed if you can show you were defending yourself/someone else.
Homicide just means a person's life was taken by another. It can be justified or unjustified which is murder.
Actually with the castle doctrine, you don't have to prove anything, they have to prove otherwise.
@@m2hmghb For sure. That goes for guns, cars, fists...etc. If someone runs in front of me while I'm otherwise driving legally/safely, and I run them over, it's technically homicide. Nothing justifiable about it...just an accident, but I was involved.
But it shouldn't. All gun laws are a violation of the 2nd amendment.
Apply the same restrictions to black people and the 13th amendment if you disagree.
It's the same in Missouri
A thing I always ask Europeans, “why do you think you have all these preconceived notions about firearms?” I’d argue it’s almost you been trained to see them as big and spooky. Food for thought.
Many Europeans have been neutered to the idea of Freedom and wide spread Gun Ownership. Just like the so called Progressive Socialists have been attempting to do here in the US.
Most of what the public knows (or thinks it knows) about guns comes from movies. And that KnowledgeBase is exaggerated for box office purposes.
I feel sad they don't think they have the right to protect there kids and family's ..to me seems like a god given right to protect yourself ..I just can father not being able to
@@sleigh4019: can't fathom
They have been beaten into believing their politicians and state funded media
So now you know why IN AMERICA, there is a gun behind every blade of grass
respect the Yamamoto quote.....
I have an uncle that had a home intrusion on Thanksgiving 1 year and shot the perp while on the phone with 911. The intruder when confronted turned as if he was going to produce a weapon, he was hit twice and jumped out the window he had come in. Ran 2 blocks and collapsed. He lived, found out he was breaking into home all day while people were away Thanksgiving. The perp was from a neighboring state out on parole. No legal charges on the uncle deemed a justified shoot. Took 8 months to receive his gun back from police.
lucky to get it back at all, don't shoot someone with an expensive gun, will never see it again.
@@lexpox329Agreed. Fully expect them to keep it as a new toy.
In alot of states, a home invasion is a clear cut case of Stand your ground/Castle Docterine. Alot of our sherrifs here in florida will applaud you for defending yourself.
Its sad people get mad when someone kills in self defence. Like what am I supposed to die and then they go "oh no if only police arrived" and not say anything on nor about the criminal
Its like a law abiding citizen kills or does something barely legal or illegal they are wanted for whatever, then a criminal does the same or worse and its like "criminals will be criminals, oh well"
@@killerwolf58342 it is pretty ridiculous. I think that has been spread through legacy media. But us everyday common citizens know the difference. You, I, us... we stand behind those living their life and protecting their families.thats why California is having its citizens flee to red states.
@@killerwolf58342 And honestly our tolerance for people who get butthurt over killing in self defense and punishing criminals is part of the problem. Anytime someone who is like that shows their ugly head they should be immediately mocked and treated as the plague on society they are. If those types are victims of crimes, no sympathy should be given to them and get told they deserve it.
@@crwilliams4597 HONESTLY!! Its getting on my nerves with these people! There was an incident where i live where a R****t was caught by police and i think he was beaten up a bit or a lot i can't remember, then people got pissy with the cop who did it. Worse was the father was goin around trying to say his son was innocent (btw the dude was definitely not).
Florida has some awesome Sheriffs and governor. They dont call it the Gunshine state for nothing.
Fully automatic weapons are very strictly regulated. The Kriss Vector he showed probably wasn't fully auto.
Not full auto, it's just a semi-auto. However, he did say that particular one was considered an SBR (short barrel rifle), and requires an NFA tax stamp.
The Vector is pretty new; there is no machine gun manufactured after 1986 that can be legally purchased in the United States.
Any machine gun that _is_ transferrable is also not going to be in the shop; it'll be in a safe, on account of they cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
There are many magic triggers out there now.
@@PhycoKrusk it if you have the your ffl tho…with your class3 or whatever allowing you access to automatic firearms, but they cost a lot and would likely be at a range or in a safe
@@LionKing-ys6el FFL7 with SOT3 just means that you are allowed to manufacture NFA firearms. You still can't transfer them, meaning the only place they would be is, as you say, at the range (with you present at all times) or in the safe because otherwise you're going to jail.
As an American we completely could careless what the British think about us for the last 247 years.
same.....whats shocking is over 3k people in the UK were arrested for internet posts....thats insane
If you guys come to Arizona you'll have tons of great ranges to visit. By the way, my wife is from Bristol UK🤙🏻🤙🏻
The phrase is “couldn’t care less.”
What you said is you do care.
As an American, nobody asked.
@@SaraphDarklaw What he said was a common saying. There are videos about it on UA-cam. It sounds weird to me as well but he said it correctly.
British unironically wondering why we need these things 😂
My Dad gave me my first gun when I was seven years old , so I have been around guns my whole life, and I have never misused one . Guns are not bad , they are inanimate objects . But some people are bad , remember that .
Beautifully said. The numbers show knives and tools are far-and-away more commonly used. Hands and feet beat them out. Then comes vehicles.
Then come physicians with a minimum of 150,000 negligent deaths each year. Not small stuff either, gross over prescription, and on and on. That keeps it in focus for me.
I was 5 when I got my first 22 for Christmas. By the time I was 14 I added a12 gauge and a 30.06.ironically though I was 29 when I got my first handgun. And you are right, I have never seen a bad gun. Just bad people!
As a child I had safety training first denoting the seriousness of the firearm. On my grandparents farm I had a bb gun and a .22lr repeating rifle. I knew where the closet was that had a variety of arms for taking out unsavory birds, vermin, varmints, wolves/bears/bobcats, etc and invaders presenting potential harm(people). When the neighbor dog bit my grandmother getting the mail, she went to the closet muttering angrily and went out with a 12 gauge. The neighbor had been warned about the unruly dog and didn't say a word of protest after it had been disposed of. At 12, my first kill was a trapped gopher that was devastating our food garden. When you are taught about nature as both friend and potential foe, then you can better assess a variety of circumstances than you would be in a "protected" society where dangerous tools and safety are not taught and part of everyday life. I personally won't kill a spider or a fly unless it crosses the bounds of acceptability in our house. We had a family of wolf spiders in our laundry room that lived happily a couple years devouring stray crickets & other spiders, etc. If an offspring wandered into our basement bedroom: D.E.A.D.
it's all in how you grow up, going shooting with my dad and his buddies before deployments if you make any safety mistakes you're gonna know, and eventually safety just becomes habituated.
By the time I was 4 I was trained in gun safety, by the time I was 11 I was allowed to keep my own guns in my bedroom.
Twice in my life I have pointed a loaded gun at someone breaking into my house, both times as soon as the person attempting to break in realized I was there with a gun they fled, and this in my mind is the best possible outcome.
absolutely. I bought my first gun about 3 and 1/2 years ago now. CCW a few months later. about 5 months after that two guys tried to carjack me. I got punched in the face for the first time. I put my hand on the grip of my pistol, all of a sudden I was alone. Just the presence will do wonders for someone's attitude, not to mention transforming them into one hell of a magician. in fact, since I bought a gun, all the reasons why I did so have come to fruition either in my own experience or in society as a whole. I've had three instances where I credit the presence of it with the positive outcome of a situation. I've touched the grip twice and I've never drawn the gun. That's how the vast majority of defenses with a gun go. those don't get reported at all. and by the way, I was plenty happy for all three of us to go home with the right number of holes in us from that carjacking attempt.
Having a sticker in the window warning that the owner is armed is wise
…even if the owner isn’t actually armed
@@coyotelong4349that is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. That's like having a sticker that says I have no valuables, so no need to rob me. There is a reason that most people do not put stickers on their cars of their favorite brands. It let's people know what you have and can be used for shopping.
"and this in my mind is the best possible outcome."
Nah, best possible outcome is you didn't touch any kind of weapon, and just asked them to leave and they left.
@@neutrino78x In the US especially though, that outcome is extremely unlikely. Better to have one and not have to use it than to not have one and be brutally beaten to death, especially if you live in a poor neighborhood like I do
It's incredible to me that this is how people think about guns in other countries. They will believe anything they are told about them I'm sure.
16:25 No, the Vector he’s holding is not fully automatic. It is the semi auto version. One trigger pull = one shot.
I took a couple of British guys into a gun shop. It was interesting to see their reaction. They would point to something and ask if I had one of those. Finally they said what I used them for and I responded -free men have the ability to defend themselves. If you’re not armed your not free.
Yep. We're subjects.....not citizens 🙄🇺🇸🇬🇧
@@keithcarpenter5254 quite frankly we Americans were surprised when both the British and the Australians turned in your guns so quickly when asked to do so by your governments. We have been fighting tooth and nail against our government from doing he same to us. Every time a politician in office says that guns need to be confiscated we respond by buying more guns and ammunition.
@@sparhawk5515
We shouldn't be. Their willingness to submit can be traced back to their ancestors. Those that sought to escape tyranny did, those willing to suffer it remained. Those traits pass from generation to generation. It can be seen in our westward expansion. Those seeking more freedom went west until they couldn't go any further. Meanwhile they sat back and watched their leaders strip them of their basic rights even after having fought two world wars on their behalf. And for what? A few crumbs (freebies) while their country is given over to invaders. And before any bleeding hearts claim it's not an invasion take a look at who's coming. Military aged males. When families migrate they all come. When men go off to war they leave the women at home.
@@tonyrmathisThis is a perfect example of how gun ownership in America is tied to racism. I have guns. I love guns (as a hobby). Right-wingers claim they need guns for “Freedom” or for “Self-Defense” but really they fantasize about playing Mad Max in some future race-war.

My dad was a gunsmith. I grew up around more firepower than most folks ever get to see outside a gun store. It's never the gun that kills someone. It's the person behind it.

3:30 question about use of gun in home/self defense is based pretty much on local district attorney (local version of Crown Prosecutor, iirc)
Some states have statewide universal "castle doctrine" with little likelihood of indictment/prosecution for killing some **** kicking your door on. Other states or political sub-units (cities/countries therein) basically say you have to run inside, cower under the bed or escape to the attic before use of force is justified.
Very generally speaking the entire west coast is anti-gun politically even though large numbers of pro gun folks live farther inland, they're outnumbered. IOW....if you can "see the sea", you can't defend yourself. Next is ENTIRE eastern seaboard north of Washington D.C. up to Boston. The political class thinks it's an *HONOR* for working & middle class people to be r_bbed, ×ra¶ed and (💀). They'll forbid simple possession of grand dad's old shotgun and throw you in prison for discharge of a gun.
A few scattered outposts of Leftist brain damage like Chicago, Minneapolis etc want SO DESPERATELY to be urbane & "sophisticated" like NYC. They have crazy restrictive gun laws but some of the highest homocide rates in the country. Lol.

Yes, I live in Texas (native born)
Same for me and well said sir
My nephew in the Fort Worth area of Texas has about 50 guns in 2 5 foot tall safes with ammo stack to the ceiling. And he is an excellent shooter. My brother in Houston also has about 20 in the safe . My Dad had about 40-50 guns when I grew up, we went to the gun range all of the time, I became a great shot myself won events. If you come to Texas you can go in to a gun range off the plane and pick what you want to shoot with and have a blast some with training...
There's even a place in Uvalde that lets you drive and shoot a Sherman Tank. God Bless Texas!

As a Texan, and American, firearms are in our blood. It is foreign and strange to live in a world without firearms. I’ve been shooting since I was 6 and plan on teaching my girls and boy when they are old enough. The firearms he showed were all semi-automatic. There weren’t any full autos on the table. If you ever make it to north Texas I’d love to show you the ropes of firearms. Good reaction.
The two Mossbergs were Pump Action, not even Semi-Automatic.
@@aldousorwell3807 correct, but there was a statement made during the vector about it being full auto. I’m aware of punk action.

@@jakeb7087 I know, but you said "The firearms showed were *all* semi-automatic.". When two of the four were not even that. Just pursuing accuracy. It matters about as much as the Automatic to Semi-Automatic distinction does.
@@aldousorwell3807 - Actually, only 2 were semiautomatic. Besides the 2 pump shotguns was the revolver.
As an American it's a very interesting video! I grew up with firearms young but then my family started pushing away from it. Now as an adult I even build my own rifles at home. As for the "Home Defense" thing, there are certainly parts of America where if you were to have someone weilding a knife break in, you do NOT reserve the right to shoot. Most parts will allow it though, only in a defense situation. Where I live, I cannot shoot through a closed door, I would have to wait until an attacker is in the same room as my family and I until I reserve the right to protect us. If the assailant were to start running away, you can no longer shoot as well. There's a LOT of different brands with competing models, just like cars. Many people take special classes to get a license to conceal carry theirs every day. If someone were to mug you and threaten your life, you may defend yourself. What we all hope for though is that we NEVER have to use it (kinda like a fire extinguisher, we have them but hopefully they never need to be used). No one WANTS to use it against someone, but if an attacker makes us choose between them or our families life, we can make that choice. Cheers from America!
I'm a single woman. My firearms are the great equalizer when it comes to self-protection.
Yes! Most of us have guns. My nearest neighbor, lives a mile away in any direction. And I can go a mile in any direction, and find enough guns to supply a small army. And we know to work as one, when needed!!
In the US, most of our states have a law called the "castle doctrine" where it is considered self defense for defending one's home when someone is in or attemping to break into your home.
I would review the castle doctrine in your state to be certain you understand it. I say this because almost all castle laws I know of apply to an intruder who is already inside your residence. If you shoot someone who "is attempting to break into your home," you could be charged with murder, since you could warn them off at that point. However, if they ignore a warning and actually gain entrance to your home, they are fair game to be legally taken out with a firearm, under the castle law.
@@theloneranger8725THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE VITAL INFORMATION THAT MATTERS! 👍🏻 If at least one person reads that and avoids going to jail for misunderstanding the law then you have done well.
@@theloneranger8725my understanding of “inside” is, the first ridge of the first fingerprint on the fingertip crossing the plane of your dwelling, which also includes my car in my state. So, someone breaks the window next to the door and reaches inside to unlock the door, you can shoot.
My state specifically allows deadly force against someone who is attempting to break into your home. That's how it should be everywhere. It's stupid to have to wait until they actually get in.
It’s wild to hear people didn’t lock their doors until recently over there. We don’t typically have a lot of home invasions here, most because everyone’s armed, but we get a ton of property crime and we did have a serial killer about 10 years ago.
Biggest issue in my area are drugged out homeless and wild animals. A neighbor a couple streets over got eaten by a bear on his way to his mailbox a couple years ago.
wild animals is why I have guns, partially because I hunt, but also because I live in a rural area near a mountain and its very common for bears and cougars to be spotted in town, the schools here have a special alarm to warn kids to get indoors if there is a cougar or bear siting near the school and more than once we have had school lockdowns where parents had to either pick their kids up or expect their kid home late because they couldn't let the kids walk home because of a nearby animal siting.
In case you guys or anyone else here was curious, the SHOT Show he mentioned at the beginning is the" Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show" It's an annual trade show for hunting, shooting sports and other outdoor activities. It's also one of the big trade shows for gun manufacturers.
There are many laws that protect the property owner, such as 'stand your ground' laws and 'castle doctrines'. They do vary from state to state. Its up to the homeowner to know the applicable laws, but in many locations, the law allows you to defend your property and your family with firearms. Go America.
The irony is that California has the strongest self defense law.... other than texas who still has a defense of stolen property clause where if someone steals something from you the "engagement" doesn't end until they get out of range. So in theory you could plink them with a 1.5 mile sniper shot over a stolen purse. *the law was written with cattle theft in mind.
As a gun owner thank you for understanding the importance of perspectives, I need guns to protect my personal animals from predators which most people don't experience.
living in rural canada, my kids could be outside playing in the yard and a bear or cougar could wander in looking at an easy meal, gotta defend them somehow and i don't wanna try and fist fight a bear or cougar.
I do also and to protect them from animal and human predators...
Yep, I've had this talk with anti gun folks from the UK who don't understand that in a lot of areas in the U.S. guns are a necessity of life. They (in the UK) don't have the wild animals we do. Bears (different verities, but all very dangerous), wolves, coyotes, mountain lion/cougars (the four legged variety), Wolverines, bobcats, lynx. Then there are the two legged variety of predators that exist in every country.
One more thing, and I'm not trying to start an argument with anyone, but some folks from European countries don't understand just how LARGE the U.S. is. The U.S. has counties that are larger than Northern Ireland AND Wales....combined. Sure, you can call the police/sheriff/State Patrol/State Police but it might be an hour or longer before they get there and these law enforcement agencies only have so many helicopters. There are a LOT of farms and ranches in the U.S. that are in extremely rural areas.
I thought that your Government was trying to disarm yall?@@stanboyd1
In most states that allow firearms to be personally owned, you'll be initially arrested/detained pending investigation. If the investigation proved lawful use of a firearm in self defense, you'll be acquitted. As someone who *has* defended myself with lethal force, you need to usually be able to prove there wasn't another available, efficient option.
EDIT: that last firearm is basically just a pistol in a sm dress. It's not automatic
That’s also insane…
And. Did you get the firearm back?
I’ve heard in some instances even in the event of self defense you may NOT
There is an old story of a guy who asked a motorcycle rider why he refused to wear a helmet sine it was designed to protect him from injury. He replied the if you understand why I refuse to wear a helmet then there is no explanation necessary...but if you do not understand---then no explanation will suffice. I guess the same could be told to these Brits about why Americans desire to have the freedom to own a firearm.
Super brave for choosing this topic of American culture. Being American I'd have a lot to say on the topic, but I respect, and am impressed by, your purpose for reviewing a cultural topic of tremendous importance that others can't or won't touch.
It’s extremely politically-charged, which is why most non-American UA-camrs who react to American stuff wisely avoid it
Not saying James and Millie are unwise, of course… but reacting to politically loaded topics in the country of most of your audience is fraught because you risk angering a lot of that audience
I actually cant imagine not owing firearms for home and personal defense. Different world indeed.
I have GSDs instead. The best pick another house defense.
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve lived with guns in my house my entire life lol.

No better time to educate yourself.
The Maverick 88 isn't just the cheapest shotgun from Mossberg, it's also probably the single best "bang for the buck" for firearms period. It'll spit out whatever shotgun ammo you feed it and keep on firing without issue.
In most of America if someone forces their way into your home or busines or car you can legally use deadly force against them to protect yourself.
Hey I mean, if someone is dumb enough to break in somewhere knowing there's a pretty damn good chance of getting shot, then maybe that person values someone else's stuff over their own life. Food for thought.
GENERALLY, in the US, if someone breaks into your home and you fear for your life or serious injury and you shoot them, you will not be charged with any crime.
Unless you're in a blue state. Commiefornia will absolutely CRUSH you if you kill a dangerous intruder. At this point they basically want you to stand and watch as your wife is raped and your home is robbed.
You have to be able to articulate to a jury that shooting was necessary to prevent immediate great bodily harm or death.
That is the standard in the USA. some states are more lenient than others in their interpretation of that.
The reason we don’t have a your king or queen(rip) on our currency is because we kept the right to own guns.
Look up castle doctrine.
Be able to legally own firearms is what prevents other countries from invading us. We have around 330 million citizens and around 393 million guns and about 1 trillion rounds.
The biggest responsibility with owning a firearm is training and knowing the laws in the particular state that you live in. As far as home defense every armed homeowner must be aware of where their shot is being placed and what is behind the "target/suspect".
Shoulda add yes it’s more than home defense, you can defend anyone “anywhere”(public property)

@@mplslawnguy3389 I'm in Florida with Grady Judd as my sheriff. He's famous for not giving af about criminals. During the Saint Floyd riots he encouraged shooting rioters back out of your homes. A guy killed his deputy they tracked him down and shot him like 65 times. A reporter asked why so many. He said he'd have shot him more but they ran out of bullets. Great having leadership that cares about civilians not criminals
The Kris Vector that he showed at the end is semi-automatic (one bullet per pull of the trigger) just like the Glock 19 that he shows and shoots the same projectile that can be fired out of the Smith and Wesson Governor with moon clips. So, while the Kris Vector looks all big and scary, it's basically just a semi-auto pistol with a longer barrel.
Interesting that our UK friends here, don't know that automatic in the US is highly restricted, which requires a special federal firearms license. On top of that license, there is a ban on new automatic guns for civilians, so all automatic weapon for purchase are crazy expensive and old, built pre 1986, I believe. Most automatic weapons are about $20,000 US Dollars and up.
Yeah, they just know about the vector because of video games. In the games tbey are always select fire, so he probably assumes all vectors are. Its the same for ars and aks. Most people dont understand that civilian models are single shot.
Not a license, a tax stamp for guns made and registered on or before 1986 but other than that yes.
@@cjb5829 Yes and no. You can also own fully automatic weapons with an FFL (federal firearms license, required for dealing in firearms) with an SOT status (special occupation taxpayer). If you have both of those things, you can own a brand new fully automatic rifle. That's how a lot of these youtubers and other online personas own a lot of their restricted weapons. So technically he is right, there IS a license you can have that allows you access to these weapons. The average citizen has to buy a tax stamp for a pre-1986 NFA automatic weapon, and also pay exorbitant prices for the items (tens of thousands of dollars at auction for a single firearm usually), but there's not a whole lot stopping an honest gun owner from going through the process of becoming an FFL with SOT status if they REALLY want to, but it is a headache to jump through all those hoops.
Glocks are popular and can be modified to be full-auto. 😅 I can buy 2 of the shown shotguns, or 3 base pumps for the price of either pistol.
They think about guns in the US, like we think about tea over there.
"You mean there's more than 1 tea that they drink 10 times a day?". Lol.
The main reason we’re not speaking in a silly British accent is because we had the weapons to send the king’s soldiers back to Britain.
We have them now to protect us from our own governments overreach.
During WW2 it was well known that an invasion of the US mainland would be almost impossible considering the amount of guns available in the hands of the public.
Wife's daughter brought her European boyfriend for a visit here in the west, and one of the first things he brought up was if I owned any guns. "Oh sure" I replied. He was just naturally curious. Broke out the minor arsenal and he was very amazed. He asked if they were registered...of course no, unless you count the paper records when a couple of them were purchased new 40 years ago. His fav was the nickel plated revolver.
That is a very cool boyfriend. Not only was he proactive and asked you about them, but he went with you to take a look at em and ended up loving one. Hope he treats that girl right.

Funny thing is they like in the Bailiwick of Jersey which has some of the most liberal gun laws in Western Europe (everything in the video is legal with a licence) but they have no idea because guns aren't their thing.
The mentality of allowing someone to harm you, because of legal repercussions is boggling.
“We’re not getting political”
“We’re not saying if its right or wrong”
Every 2 seconds “so mad” “its mental”
Unbelievable... if someone breaks into your home, they assume criminal liability.... they value your possessions more than their own lives.
I would like to add that in Castle Doctrine states, there is an assumption that anyone who breaks into your home while you are presently in the home has bad intentions to harm you and/or your family. Robbers typically wait until you are away from the home.
@@JayEmElle8Burglars typically wait until no one's on the premises, and many don't carry firearms, since burglary is the act of breaking and entering with intent to steal or even just poke around. Robbers carry firearms and are typically careless as to whether other souls are present or not with the intent to at least thieve, if not purposely do harm to any, therein. Obviously ultimately, neither is more moral than the other, but the former is perhaps a bit less 'dangerous', per se.
From a legal standpoint, the goal of self/home defense is to stop the threat. The best outcome would be not having to use a firearm, and there are plenty of instances where just the fact that someone was armed caused an intruder/assailant to withdraw. But if you're forced to fire, you shoot to stop the threat. The shot(s) may end up killing them, and you'll likely feel terrible about it, but as the saying goes - you'll still be alive to feel bad.
9 times out of 10 I wouldnt feel terrible about saving my family's lives . Now if it was just some dumb kid I might feel bad .
92% of self defense situations where a gun is presented the bad guys flee without shots fired.
Your home is your sacred place. An invasion of such is of the utmost breach of liberty. To invade someone's home is punishable by death according to the home owner.
It's strange to me that people are so scared of guns,one of the things I could do to pass the time when I was 12 was to grab the revolver or rifle and walk around the forest shooting stuff,it was fun,I kinda want to do it right now
Just be mindful to not shoot animals. Hunting is one thing, but needless killing is another. I love firearms and understand that hunting is very important, but killing for sport is just bad.
@@googleuser868 no. I don't kill animals. I mean as in hunting, oh absolutely I'll Kill an animal if I have to. But I don't do it for sport or helping birds that are more than capable Get a snack
Blame the media for that, nothing but a disarming scare tactic all planned up to help fit the narrative that protecting yourself form bad people is wrong and that you should 100% rely on the government.
Thomaslikscars...squirrel is a snack cityboy, go away and play with your train set thomas🙄
I never want to be in a society that pervasively confuses self defense with murder.
I read that as "perversely," I think that would've fit better. The idea that a person doesn't have the right to defend themselves is certainly perverse
That was my reaction as well. I've often said that my goal in life is to make it through without killing anybody, but I'm flexible. If I wound a bad guy and he runs out of my house, I'm good. If he pushes the issue... well, as I said. I'm flexible. lol Defending your life is certainly not murder. Homicide, yes. Murder? No.
I would not put lol and murder in the same sentence, not a good look.😅
Yuuuuup
The view of most of the world outside of lawless lands is basically that you should let yourself or your children be raped or murdered because killing is wrong. How else is the government to control you if you don't depend on them for protection that they can remove or turn against you at any time if you don't obey Big Brother?
3:35 In most places in America there is the castle law that allows a person to defend their property, family or self can use deadly force legally. There is also the stand your ground law allows you to use deadly force to protect yourself if you are under threat of harm or to stop certain violent crimes. Hope this helps
"Justifiable homicide" is usually the term used when a person kills somebody who was attacking them or invading their home.
In defense of property is a tricky legal argument. Most places it is not legal to use deadly force, Texas being an exception as long as certain criteria are met.
@@franklugo6928
Agreed that it can be a tricky legal argument. Though I would be inclined to believe that if there is a sign of forced entry or a weapon on the intruder, it would be less tricky... time of night as well. All the variables. I disagree that it's not legal to use deadly force, only 11 states have a "duty to retreat" and even then it's something like "when it is reasonable and safe to do so"... self-defense as in "fear of loss of life" is legal in all 50, just a tad tougher to prove you HAD to use deadly force in 11 as opposed to hopping out a window.
"New York adopted “duty to retreat” in 1968. The law states that use of deadly force cannot be used if a person can retreat with “complete personal safety to oneself or other.”"
I'm fine with a respectful discussion. I want to explain why I don't love "duty to retreat" (also, I don't live in fear, my area is very safe)... but conceptually. If Fred the crack addict kicks in my door at 2am and I have the means and tactical ability to confront him without risk to myself, I would always consider that the safest, since I have no idea if Fred's buddy is following up the driveway or if there's an accomplice checking that window at that moment. I know my home, if I hop out a window, property is also a known... but more open and more difficult to know the current situation.
We definitely don't need scared fools shooting at every strange noise, but an actual breach INTO my home... I'd be viewing that as "my life is in danger"... if it's the cops with the wrong door or a fireman, they should announce themselves loudly and clearly! Sadly, that has happened and the innocent homeowner rarely "wins"... even when they live, they still have to fix their door.
We have a “Stand your ground” law or the castle doctrine meaning you can protect yourself, family, home, others, etc. if your life is threatened.
some states have a castle doctrine (a mans home is his castle). what it means is that you are allowed to use deadly force in a home invasion as long as you believe the invader will use any degree of unlawful force against the actor or a third person
To answer Millie's question, about whether it's murder or not. The answer is that it depends on that particular state's law. However, in Texas, which is where I live, it's legal to protect your property and others. You can legally open carry a firearm in Texas. If in the unfortunate situation that you have to use your firearm to protect yourself and it results in the intruder or perpetrator being killed; it is not murder.
Another part of the question regarding murder or not - you can only shoot if you're actively threatened. If the attacker withdraws, you must not shoot him. The threat is over and you become the aggressor if you shoot. If he turns and comes back aggressively again, you're good to go. Be prepared to prove it in court.
I love living in Texas where we are free to defend ourselves and our property, in addition to what you said, if it’s night time, we have extra self defense right.
I grew up in a town like you describe. We didn't lock our front doors or our car doors. Once we started feeling like we needed to do that, it was only one generation before it wasn't safe to walk at night anymore.
Where I grew up in Southern California, we never locked the doors. First time I dealt with a locked door was when I went to college. Today, that is simply not the case. Time and attitudes change, and we have to change with it..

WRONG! We do not have to accept it. Do you think the people who created our current situation said "We have to accept it."? NO! They worked to create the conditions they wanted and now we're all suffering under it. And for what? What value is there in this criminal subculture they've coddled? What contribution to society do they provide other than the opportunity for some of us to feel superior? The fact is they're working to oppose the forces of evolution. The thing that made us the top of the food chain. Subsidizing and encouraging the very behaviors that evolution would rid us of. Breeding by those most unfit to raise children. Criminal behavior that should result in the removal from the gene pool. Sloth that should limit the ability to find a mate. All insuring those traits are not just passed on but increased.
In response to the home invasion question: Different states have different laws, and there's also some discretion for law enforcement. For the most part, if someone illegally enters your home or is trying to illegally enter your home, you have the right to defend your property. For most states this does not include your vehicle or posted private property (Texas protects these as privately owned and defendable). When you shoot someone legally, there are a few steps. First, again depending on the state, you have to call 911 (obviously) or local law enforcement directly in a small town. You then wait for law enforcement to arrive. They treat the scene like a homicide/ attempted murder (depending on if the intruder lives or not) until they can gather the evidence needed for a justified shooting. They take the firearm that was used as evidence (they'll usually let you pick it up within a week). If everything was by the book, most people will be cleared of wrongdoing (unless they're prohibited from owning a firearm). Depending on local law enforcement and the state, a lengthy investigation may not be necessary.
When he says stop the threat he means completely incapacitating. Or killing.
To a lot of Americans standing around this many guns is no different than standing around a bunch of tools.
Because in the end thats all they are...tools.
A lot of us were raised around firearms myself included. I had my first shotgun at 8 and my first rifle at 9 and I was allowed to go shooting and hunting without adult supervision.
Of course my father taught me gun safety at a young age and he was extremely strict about it. If you screwed up I promise you'll never make that mistake again.
Once I was proficient and steady with the rules for awhile was when he said I was ready to shoot by myself.
I think it's a good thing for kids to go hunting so they can see first hand the damage a bullet can do to flesh.
Seeing that small entrance hole and rolling the deer over and seeing a fist sized exit hole is extremely sobering.
Not to mention the damage to the internals,seeing jellied organs due to hydrostatic shock from a deer rifle is eye opening to say the least.
and to many other americans who want to change such things, this attitude is crazy. No other civilized country in the world sees the need to have more guns than citizens, and accepts public shootings as a daily way of life.
In my opinion, anyone allowing a child to use a gun unsupervised, even if trained, should have their parental rights discontinued

Each state has its own laws regarding self defense and home defense. Here in Texas, we have laws that permit the one of force, including deadly force, in the defense of yourself, another, or property. While the concept may be foreign to people from other countries, or even from other states, most of us in Texas are very big on freedom. Part of that freedom is being free from being a victim.
Same in the UK and Great Britain. These people aren't gun people. So they don't know that every gun shown there is legal to own in Jersey (with a licence).

A licence is basically just a continuous background check. At least I can go into a shop, buy a 12 inch AK and walk out the door within 2 minutes. You couldn't do that without getting a government stamp and waiting months. Plus you have to hope your background check is working. You effectively have licencing in the States anyway as the minute you get a felony, or get put in a mental hospital you are banned. It amazes me that a simple felony, or day in a mental hospital disqualifies you from owning a gun, normally forever. In most of Europe and here in Czechia if you get one conviction for a non serious non violent, non firearm related crime within a ten year period you can still have firearms. You can sometimes get multiple convictions. Unless a court says your dangerous (which would have to be reviewed every six months) you could live in a mental instruction if you wanted. Even a crime of violence (discounting murder or attempted murder) will only disqualify you for 10-20 years. Also ANY drug user is banned from having firearms in the US. Even if weed is allowed in your State. What's with that?
The thing I do envy about the States though is the lack of a gun registry. I know effectively the 4473 is a registry (if they dislike you enough and want to search through it), but the fact the government tracks my guns even closer than the States annoys me.
FYI, not sure if anyone mentioned this, the last gun (the Kriss Vector) is not an automatic weapon. It’s semi automatic just like the handgun. One trigger pull, one shot. It’s available as fully automatic but only for law enforcement and specific license holders. Regular citizens cannot purchase fully automatic weapons.
I find it so funny how the gun culture here is perceived outside of America. One thing to realized is that there are many places in America where most people who live there have never even seen a gun. Let alone shot one. They all seem to think that everyone here just open carries all the time. And even the vast majority of people who do carry do what is called a concealed carry so you'll never see the gun on them.
Breaking into someone's home is presumed assault, and you can use deadly force to defend yourself or others. Most jurisdictions have NO sympathy for a burglar that gets shot.
Cite the State statute that says that. There are none.
@@torstenheling3830About half the states have the castle doctrine. No duty to retreat when you're in your home and you can use deadly force if someone tries to break in
guides.sll.texas.gov/gun-laws/stand-your-ground Texas cover BOTH inside your house and on your land or movable property.
A local cop told me once if I ever had to use a gun for self defense just make sure I dragged their body near the door jam lol.
@@bran1886 That’s an old story. I heard that in the 70s. Another urban legend.
I have twice avoided very bad outcomes because I was armed. No shots fired. I didn't even aim directly at the interlopers. They perceived peril & moved along.
Same for me. Saved two lives by just racking a round in my 12ga. Bad guys looked up at me (I was on the balcony), saw the gun... and left, even though they were armed. No shots fired. Never even pointed the gun at them. No, I didn't report it to the police as I lived in California at the time. The cops would have spent more time harassing me than chasing down the actual bad guys! lol
Statistical 80% of encounters with firearms end at just brandishing.
George Washington stated that firearms were the American people’s liberty teeth.
Kind of funny to watch Brits watch a video about firearms when I just used a British No 4 Mk 1 Enfield in a rifle competition last weekend (North Carolina, USA). Took 2nd, btw 😅
@@BB-yh5rdTotally agree about shooting the classics. I have several. Some shoot straight, some don’t, some require $$$$$ ammo (Arisaka). The micrometer sights on the Enfield have helped me get on target from 200 to (yes) 1000 yards (took 3-5 shots, hit it once, called it a day 😊)
Hope you get to stretch the legs on yours as well !
@@WarriorPoet01 I live in a state where you could shoot 20 miles if a cartridge could be made to do so. My family owns just under 700 acres right to the west of Yellowstone Park. Stretching the legs of rifles is really something that I've tried to master my entire life but like golf it's something that is never really perfected or even remotely mastered by most. I live i a city of just under a million but half hour in all directions there is plenty of public land and shooting whatever style and type imaginable. I've been getting into 6.5 Creedmoor on a Tikka bolt action as 6.5 is expensive but is a really cool round. We have fun with 5.56, 7.62x39, 5.45, 308, 22, even 7.62x54r as just a great way to get outdoors and have some fun. A bit of a shame that 5.45 in my view will become certainly extinct because it's a great round for new shooters and old amateurs like me as well.
@@BB-yh5rd 5.45 is sweet. I’m sure that some company (probably Palmetto State Armory - lol) will probability start producing it .
Sounds like you have plenty of free space to practice on! Just focus on that front sight and follow through. We’ve got plenty of time left to get it right 😁👍
@@WarriorPoet01 For sure. I enjoy the process of improving no matter what I'm doing. It's funny, though, I work with a lot of people in Europe. When they come to where I'm from for meetings the first thing they always want to do is go shooting. I've never seen people mag dump in my life like my Dutch and German friends and colleagues. Huge smile on their faces they just want more and more. I'm sure they go back to Europe and go back to criticizing our 2A. 🤗
@@BB-yh5rd Like going to Vegas. They have a fantastic time, then come home and tell the wives what a lousy time they had 😂
About the most fun I have now (outside of a quarterly military rifle match) is teaching others how to shoot (with strong emphasis on safety, of course). Ladies with firearms in their bucket list are always the most fun 😉
I love seeing the reactions of people outside the U.S. when it comes to our right to defend ourselves. Your way of looking at this subject was refreshing to see. I believe a statement about gun crimes in Britain was made and since you aren't allowed the same freedoms we are would make sense. Might I suggest looking into the rates of other violent crimes in Britain such as knife attacks or blunt objects compared to those in the U.S.? I think you might be surprised by the answers. Very good video.
Add Canada to that list of countries that don't allow self defense of ones person or property.

What does that insinuate, maybe something, maybe nothing. I stopped comparing countries long ago, too many variables. I'd sooner forget my wallet than I would my pocket knife... habit, from cutting hay strings every morning. Teacher confiscated my pocket knife when I was in 4th grade, I just forgot to leave it home after feeding the horses, mom got it back after school of course.

Just to clarify, this appears to be in a gun store, where having them on display is to be expected. Most homes don't have them just hanging on the walls. Typically in a locked or hidden location that only the heads of the household can access.
"For your house?!" "It's a different world" "I can't imagine this in England." ... This is why we left
The reason they were talking about penetration was not about whether you would kill the intruder or not.
Some bullets can go through a person, two walls, and then hit another person. You do not want that in a home defense situation.
At best you want something that will stay in the target (intruder) at worst something that will have lost its lethal energy after it has gone through the target.
I find it humorous how this couple reacts to the "looks" rather than the "capabilities" of these firearms. It is also strange how they perceive guns v.s. American ideals of the same. To us Americans, it is the same thing as a toaster or vacuum cleaner. Watching the same video they did, I wasn't startled or shocked at all. This was an excellent video on cultural differences.
So true. It's like I say, guns in rural America are like power tools. They are man toys, like four-wheelers or boats, that might also come in handy if someone breaks in your house.
Ignorance is bliss as they say. They care more about booze than freedom.
What's odd to me is they have very low crime in their country. We have very low crime here in rural Texas also but the threat is always there.
Yes i have been in a stomping match with people in the uk and scotland i cant stand alot of them they think no reason to own one many are cowards thats uneducated
Cultural differences aye. Let me tell you straight. I live in New Zealand and here we don't get a choice to have or not have a gun. A couple of years ago the government done a gun round up and destroyed pretty much all the guns in NZ so now there are only Shotgun and 22 for the farmers. And even if you do have a gun U can't get ammo. New Zealand really is a hard left liberal socialist shit hole, wasn't like this when I was growing up
You need a special license to own automatic weapons in America, and they're heavily regulated by the government. The average U.S. citizen cannot buy an automatic or burst fire gun.
If someone breaks into your home, it's legal in most states to shoot them. It's self defense.
If they leave your home, it's not ok to chase them down and shoot them, and you can be charged with murder.
If you are out on the street, you can still use a gun to defend yourself, but you're more likely to get charged with murder unless there's lots of proof the other person was attacking you with deadly intent.
If the person attacking you is black, Hispanic, Arabic, or Asian, and you are white, it complicates it even further. There will be riots that burn down neighborhoods, and even if it was self defense, many are charged with a "hate crime" and it's very hard to prove it was self defense.
My husband was Army for 26 years and 22 were in Special Forces. I was always alone and ALWAYS had a 12 gauge shot gun in case of a break in .
Dumb idea.
I sure hope you have a bit of experience with that 12 gauge, as they kick. I love my 12 gauge, and letting people shoot it just to laugh at them when they give it back to me after a few shots and saying "No More!"
My dad was in the military for 20 years, while deployed it would just be my mom and 3 kids, and we never had a gun. I guess in our location we never felt the need.
@@bui3415 No one not serving in the armed forces or local law enforcement ever has a need for a gun. Unless you’re a hunter with a proper license to own a gun, you not only have no need for a gun, but no business owning one either. All that “home defense” or “defense against a tyrannical government” idiocy are just childish fantasies.
Please give your husband a hug from my family and I. Thank him for his service on our behalf.
