Don't worry about it. Been loving the channel for the last two years. You remind me of my brother in law, an ex Vietnam vet Seabee combat construction guy and fire arms instructor. He was a volunteer fireman who died a couple years back of Emphysema, and I miss him. Good sense of humor, and quietly amazingly competent. Thanks for the content.
Has anybody else come over to Paul’s channel from watching all the other firearm channels and just appreciate his hard work and honesty? Also, the fact he is not profit driven and pushing products on us? What a great guy, thank you Paul!
My new favorite channel. I came across a few of his videos I. The last couple months and just didn’t get the vibe. Probably because I have a very short attention span and didn’t give it time. I just spent the last hr watching this 2 parter and love it for so many reason. Straight forward no bs approach, good dry humor, little sarcasm and a ton of very good info.
Dude I seen him plug somebody else’s video, saying so-and-so already made a good video about “this” so go watch that one. I dunno, I liked that, instead of all these guys trying to show each other up with the same videos and like you said sell sell sell...
I appreciate the amount of time he doesn't spend trying to convince us of what a bad ass he is. That shit gets tiresome really fast, and honestly has the opposite effect.
For someone warning us of weird pauses and speech impediments, you're a clearer speaker than most. I don't think I've heard one "um" or even a rambling tangent in this whole thing.
part of presenting is leaving time for people to process. Listening to someone speak fast for more than 15 minutes causes you to only remember the last 15 minutes of info after an hour of dialogue. Leaving your audience time to digest and process the information is important. He really makes it work.
Saying that does two things: First, it primes the viewer to expect it, so if it's something that *would* be jarring to someone, it's much less likely to happen because they know it's coming Secondly, and this is something I recognize because I also do it, it makes any criticism of the way he speaks (which is a trashy thing to complain about, regardless) completely null and void. There's no way to stop it, but talking about your perceived or real "flaws" is an effective way of neutering any complaints or insults about it. What I'm saying is, the man is a great...Uhhh, speaker, lecturer, presenter...? Whichever one he'd prefer, and I'm willing to bet that he's worked very hard for to get as good as he is at it.
What a clear, calm, concise and precise presentation. No histrionics, machismo, arrogance or bluster. And, thank you, no unnecessary music. You’re a great presenter Paul. Greetings from the UK, shortly to be a homesteader in 250 acres of rural Spain so your advice is cogent.
*people say mean things* Caleb: Elaborately explains his hurt feelings Paul: I appreciate the effort but I’d like to see some better material from you guys Love the attitude - Paul is awesome!
This guy is awesome. If people want to go lip off they should just go to the bar so they can deal with the consequences Bahaha. This is the last guy I would be chirping off to
Al S his channel has suffered significantly in the past month. And his most watched videos are the ones with Paul’s name in them. Unless he’s completely daft, I think deep down he knows he f’d up
2:20 "...venting their frustration over their failings in their attempts to deal with billygoats" It took me a few seconds to realize that he was talking about trolls.
@ It is a reference to a fairy tale called "Three Billy Goats Gruff" in which three billy goats try to cross a bridge that a troll lives under. The troll tries to eat the goats, but the goats outsmart the troll. "Troll" is also a term for people on the internet who make deliberately provocative statements in an attempt to get a rise out of people. Paul Harrell was taking advantage of this double meaning by making the literary reference to refer to these people who were being deliberately obtuse in the youtube comments of the previous video.
I love the wide stance snub nose clip with Paul in the bad sports coat. Really reminds me of like a 70's cop instructional video or something. Shows that Paul has a good sense of humor.
@@Isometrix116 TL;DR If a Vegan is starving to death, he will eat all the pork, beef and chicken you give him. But once he escapes that situation, he will still claim humans are herbivores and that nobody should consume meat.

Thank you Paul. Your videos are super-informative for previous non gun users Living in Europe, where we mostly are not aloud to carry any kind of object that can be considered a weapon, by the police officer. Circumstances are left to his appreciation, but in short, you're not aloud to defend yourself if you're attacked. Panorama is evolving here, and we Europeans have been dis-armed for long, but rooting for our fellow Americans (and Canadians), hanging to the right to carry or posses a weapon, as a mean to defend themselves. Thank you for your efforts.
I stumbled upon this. So glad I did. My Wife and I need to brush up on our firearms skills and we are thus motivated! Thank you and you now have two more followers!!!
Yea as someone who bought their first handgun this week, he nailed it about not having access to things like ranges, training and gun stores. not to mention I can't find 9mm ammo for sale locally. Fortunately my brother in law has always had guns, gave me enough for a full mag, suggested drills for operating the gun and practicing the "straight finger". I'm looking forward to getting some range time, hopefully sooner rather than later.
You can still find reloading kits and premium components, likely also at a premium, but available. Reloading will pay for itself in short order, is a good skill to have, and with the time many people have on their hands at the moment building a new skill is a great idea.
@@six-gunsound1145 we are looking into reloading actually. I like the idea and the brother in law is thinking about doing some competition shooting. Plus if I get a decent press, I'm looking at a dillon 550c, there will always be a decent amount of resale value if it doesn't work out is my thinking.
I must be a glutton for punishment with my RCBS single stage. With a progressive press you're cranking out some serious volume. Make sure you stay on top of the lubrication requirements, the faster you move metal parts together the more frequently that needs to be attended to. Good luck and welcome to the gun "club".
Great point on "quick access" safes. Even though I do not have children in the house, I have two of them. You don't want an intruder to have quick access to your loaded gun. Also, regarding the one in the bedroom, having to open it makes sure you are sufficiently awake that you do not shoot your spouse coming up the stairs. I do recommend that you get one that is mechanical in nature rather then biometric. I have seen biometric locks fails to open on a number of ocassions. Also, make sure your periodically check the batteries on the locking mechanism to make sure they are still go and the mechanism will work.
I live alone and keep a loaded .38 Special DA revolver under my pillow. Paranoid? Maybe, but at least I have a little "surprise" for anyone that should break in at night!
I'm in Canada. This popped up in my recommended for some reason, so I watched out of curiosity. Excellent presentation, although I'm sure 90% of it is useless to me. His one recommendation in the first part (Glock) is, I believe, a restricted firearm here. Shame. I admire America's better approach to guns. Woe betide your nation should the gun-grabbers there prevail.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 Glocks are classified as restricted firearms yes, but you are able to get a restricted level PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence). However part of the reason the Glock was his recommendation was the magazine capacity, which is limited to 10 rounds in Canada rather than the 15 rounds in his model. Semiautomatic handgun magazines in Canada are limited to a maximum 10 cartridges (this includes both rimfire and centrefire semi-automatic handguns). The exception are magazines designed for one calibre that will function in handguns of a different calibre and hold a higher capacity. The RCMP give an example as follows: "Heckler and Koch P7 pistol chambered for 9mm Luger caliber: The magazine designed for the 40 S&W calibre variant of the pistol will hold 13 cartridges of 9mm Luger calibre and function in the 9mm Luger calibre P7 pistol. This is permissible as the maximum permitted capacity of the 40 S&W calibre magazine must be measured by the number of 40 S&W calibre cartridges it is capable of holding, which is 10 such cartridges in the case of the HK P7 pistol magazine." www.canadagunclub.com/p/gun-magazine-capacity-limits-in-canada.html www.canadagunclub.com/p/getting-your-gun-licence-in-canada-pal.html
Whats caught many people by surprise is the massive gas / fuel glut and it's worth $0 now, and the silver price has collapsed because it's reliant on industry demand to maintain demand and price. Paul I never thought I would see months of food shortages of essentials ever going on, but I see it now, and I see it across many first world countries. Nice dig at the hate trolls, but thats only going to trigger them more. You know your stuff. Yes in Australia you can't have a gun to protect your family or home. In essence gun ownership here is extremely difficult.
A year later, and we've found a way to shoot gas prices to the moon, while the prices of almost everything else are inflating as well, as the supply of pretty much everything useful or valuable has all but vanished from years of lost productivity. It's astonishing how much political, social, and economic damage governments have managed to cause - and continues to cause - against their own citizens, on what has been, now that we can see it from almost two years of 20/20 hindsight, the flimsiest of excuses! Here in the USA, crime rates in larger cities due to deliberate setbacks against law enforcement alone have converted a historic number of people into first-time gun owners, while making gun-control virtual political poison for governments and political candidates to openly embrace.
Or logging trucks being driven by birds ☺️☺️☺️...keep up your videos...I’m forwarding part one and two to quite a few people on the fence on buying the “how can you sleep with that thing in the house and really why do you even need it?”...to quote Bob Dylan...”the times they are changing”...thank you Paul 👍👍👍
Paul: Talks about gun safes that are so secure even the owner can't open it. *LockPickingLawyer enters the chat, while holding a fork.* But, seriously, check out the gun safe videos on LockPickingLawyer YT channel.
Lock picking lawyer is a fraud and a fake.. he takes out pins off camera then acts like a lock picking demigod. He's a fat dweeb loser looking for sheep like you to worship him
@@ramtrucks721 He specifically talked about people doing that in the sorta speed record videos and also specifically tells you what to look out for that might give away that the video isn't quite all it's made out to be. And go away with your ovine accusations. Most adults don't *worship* other adults but assess their reliability and potential to learn from on a wide variety of factors and would be quite open to proof of the contrary (even if that does come with a sense of disappointment). So bring some substance to the table if you suspect he's a fraud.
@@ramtrucks721 Until he disassembles the lock and removes the pins without a break in the video. But I expect a juvenile comment from someone who obviously worships a truck...
"tells us something about the mentality of LE in that jurisdiction" Tells us that those LEOs are tyrants and/or just want to make or break their fine quotas and make people's lives miserable with having an arrest on their record, and wasting time and money defending yourself in court. I spit on them (figuratively)! The video quality looks exceptional on this one.
Only thing is about that being said is its not typically the LE who introduce those laws much less pass them. Not every cop agrees with gun laws or is a gun grabber. Laws are typically passed via vote of states Representatives and lots of citizens encouraging their reps to vote one way or another. The problem you have to look at is how the LE interpret those laws because that's often how they get you.
@@ArmaGuyz Fair enough. Although in my opinion the LE has a duty to concern themselves with the legal standard and precedent set by the supreme court. As to not falsely interpret a law out of negligence or enforce an unconstitutional law. The most obvious example being red flag laws.
@@ArmaGuyz The other issue is that LE officers are most typically exposed to the least civilized or law abiding among us on a daily basis. And that colors their view of everyone they meet. Including the good guys who are involved in a civilian shooting.
You've brought up valuable points on the variables of the laws & their interpretations for all gun owners, in addition to your insights& anecdotes....I see why you're revered, and deservedly so.
Someone once asked me that was looking to make their first firearm purchase " what's the best gun for self-defense". My first reply was, the one you never have to use. Great job as usual Paul you are a credit and a wealth of information, thank you for doing what you do 👍.
Paul your videos are informative, authentic and a great reflection on the kind of independent and reliable person you are! And, I live in the north Georgia mountains, never gonna leave here!!
Gun laws: I’ve hunted with a suppressed .44 for years all over the Southeast. No problems. I got stationed to Connecticut and before I went up there, I called to check whether it was legal to hunt with a suppressor in CT. The guy on the phone started panicking at me even asking the question - how do I have a suppressor? Where did I get it? Why would I ask that? Everyone knows that’s illegal? How do I even own one?
Someone I know just moved to Connecticut and wanted to get a BB gun to shoot some rodents that were destroying her strawberry patch. Turns out you need a PERMIT for a BB gun in Connecticut.
streetsofsouthphilly that is not true. I just cash and carried one at Cabela’s and all they asked me if I would like to round the transaction up to wildlife conservation.
@@streetsofsouthphilly I......... dont even know how to respond to that mentally.... like, i literally cant even process that. Now i HAVE to ask... do you also need a permit to get a slingshot?
Paul, just wanted to say that even as a somewhat experienced gun owner, I watched these videos because I figured I can't know everything, and if anyone knows something I don't, it's you. It did turn out that there wasn't anything I didn't know, but you did provide different and interesting perspectives to concepts I had already been taught, something I find very valuable. You also put words to certain concepts that I've had trouble articulating to people. Thanks for all that you do.
“Police might be overwhelmed or non existent” fast forward 1 month... Minnesota talking about defunding the police, police overwhelmed, rioting in many major cities. Always better to be safe than sorry.
After the police were told to stand down and let rioters burn down anything they wanted....if your counting on the police to protect you...you will most likely be dead
@@TERMINATOR1959 if you count on the people tear gassing and pepper spraying/ shooting rubber bullets at innocent people then you had a bigger problem to begin with
@FlamQ Dbltap I live in Minneapolis, not a single person I know on my immediate family or friends "allowed" that to happen, nor did we support any riots or looting of any kind, what did you expect us to do? go around shooting people? If the police had responded with force our state would be in even worse shape than it is now. These people wanted the police to shoot first so they could justify attacking the police to themselves and honestly a large percentage of the people I saw were from out of state taking advantage of the situation I don't appreciate the way you are painting the entire state as a band of traitors that deserve to be cut off. If you were here what would you have done? Nothing, so sit down and shut the fuck up.

Tip 11 for new gun owners during the Beerademic, knowing how to break down your weapon and clean it. My wife never owned or fired a gun till I bought her a glock before the election in 2016. She can clean it now and watch the game at the same time on Saturday after we get back from the range. Takes some time. Cause she has three--one for her car, one for her purse and one for her nightstand. I'm a lucky man...
just wanna say, i really like how you come off in these videos. and these chaining times... i have had some leftest anti gun friends come with me out to cam to learn how to AK. and basic gun safety and handling lets not forget that. bad times or not, i am glad its opening up there eyes. there going from "guns are bad" to "i want to use guns to protect me and my family."
hey, i havent touched a weapon since leaving the army 15 yrs ago, but had recently bought a 1911 because of some incidents at my work and started watching gun videos. i like this guy Paul Harrell
Heh, 10 tips for new firearms buyers, and not one mention that the best part of owning a firearm, is the smell of hoppe's 9 when you are cleaning it. For Shame! :)
amazon has a paper hanger for your car mirror that is like the pine tree shaped like a no 9 bottle and smells like one too my former employer loved it.
When those pranksters press charges: "is it reasonable to believe that Mr Harrell, with his years of experience, cannot discern the difference between blanks and incoming live rounds. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you be the judge". (Think like a prosecutor, they will)
Both parts of the presentation were very excellent. A great review for those of us who have been life-long gun owners and shooters, those of us in informal advisory roles for friends and family, and certainly for new firearm owners who may not have a clue -- until they watch this. Thanks for a job well-done.
I’d wager Mr. Harrell isn’t a large consumer of that particular brand. If I were to hazard a guess, Mr. Harrell doesn’t seem like a large consumer of beer in general.
For the whole Distance thing. In the Concealed Carry class i had, 'distance' was only ever a thing when it came to someone having a 'hand-to-hand' style weapon visible, 'or' if they were approaching you with no visible weapon but 'stating their intent' to kill/harm you. In those cases.. it would 'not' be reasonable to use deadly force on them if they were 'beyond' 21 yards (roughly the length of a living room for mental visual). But if they were within that range, then as you yourself said, they 'could' potentially close that gap rather fast so 'would' be a imminent threat. If though, the other party had a long-range weapon (another fire-arm or such), then all it would require is the belief that they intended to 'use' that weapon on us.
Step 1: Don't wait until a state of emergency to decide you support the 2nd amendment or should have a means to defend yourself. It's like drinking milk to build up strong bones after your arm's already broken.

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I stumbled across them while looking for info on refurbing the Springfield Model 86 I inherited from my mom. You obviously know what the heck you're talking about, and you present it in a really cool, rational way. I'd like to buy another rifle, but can't afford it right now. So I'll follow your excellent advice, "The .22 you have is better than the AK-47 you don't have." ;-)
Thank you for your input , yes there’s about 20k gun laws in America 🇺🇸 I use legal heat to know what is different when I travel. They have training also.
"Why would you buy a firearm to deal with a virus?" Let me explain how I see that. I'm living in Poland, in one of the three biggest cities in that country. We do not have even 0.001% of guns you Guys in the US have, firearms are incredibly difficult to obtain here. (I'm not counting black market or otherwise illegal firearms, since in my 28 year long life I was offered to buy very cheap and very real illegal AKMS with black polymer aftermarket furniture and literal bucket of military surplus ammo and at different occasion, as a highschooler I've received an offer to buy CZ 83 in 9x18 mm Makarov, which I'm 99% sure was a gun involved in homicide or similar affair) Anyway, ad meritum: since my early 16-teens I was never involved in any fight; I was pretty reserved guy and was an sheltered kid. Now, since there is quarantine in Poland, I had to kick, punch or straight away maim THREE people in ONE week. Agressive drunkards or hobo's, who disregard mask-wearing warrants and are bored/drunk/stupid out of their mind. I talk about streetfights in broad daylight, in the very city centre. That, before Beer was UNTHINKABLE. If situation with proletaryat/hobo/drug abusive/plainly dangerous people is similar in your country, then I shudder. Because all I fear in Poland is risk of contracting a virus from drunkards and some bruises, not a cluster of freaking bulletholes... Yes, I'd buy a gun if I was living in US right this instant!
After being invaded by both fascists and communists and being the USSR's bitch for 50 years you would expect Poland to allow its citizens to have gun ownership.
If you're that healthy to fight drunks in public, I don't think you or any healthy person has to worry about this virus....you obese, diabetic, untreated high blood pressure & over 60, well hell you better lay low. "Step aside & let the healthy man thru." Ha ha
Actually by european standards of gun regulations, in Poland it is relatively easy to get firearms - at least based on a Wikipedia article. Don't forget that you can legally buy a blackpowder weapon provided it was manufactured or designed before 1886 if I remember correctly, without any additional permits other than your id. *However* without a specific permit you cannot carry it with you for self defense outside of your home.
If my memory serves me correctly, Poland’s Constitution or Bill of Rights was modeled or is similar to the U.S.’s or it was created right after the U.S.’s. I wish the Polish people would have also been blessed with a 2nd Amendment. Perhaps the wealthy magnats back in the day didn’t want ordinary people to have any power. My son served in Afghanistan as an American linguist along with some Polish special forces and said the Poles were exceptionally good soldiers and men.
I have been watching your channel for a long time. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I hope that you will keep making your videos, I find all of them helpful. I have told many people who need advice to watch your channel. Thank you again. I'm a big fan.
i myself self taught, iv done the same with my wife,kids, and inlaws because when something happens atleast i kno that we all move as one. the gun is only as good as the person behind it. another great video👍👍
Thanks Paul. Just a word about the recent gun ban in Canada. The mini 14 is on the "banned" list, but not the Tavor 7. It doesn't get any more mindless.
9:00 - This is all an excellent thing to bring up and you'll be surprised how many people don't understand this sort of thing, don't think about it, and seem to think that world is fair and always works by the rules as they think they're supposed to work.
I'm watching the Top Ten series again because the situation has gone downhill. Fire departments and law enforcement is virtually non-existant and there is civil unrest in the streets. I think it is safe to say that we are WROL. I'm not confident that my little Ruger 10/22 would be sufficient but surely ammo should be easy enough to find. And maybe find an inexpensive autoloader for home defense until I can get a CWL.
in 'most' cases, the caliber of a firearm is irrelevant, only a rare few individuals will be walking around with store-bought body armor. Even a BB or Pellet-gun can kill if you hit the right place. Its 2 things that count. 1) Hitting what your aiming at. 2) Shot placement. Even if someone who kicks in your door is wearing full Level-3A body armor, a .22 shot to their noggin will kill (unless they somehow got ahold of a full-face armored helmet, in which case, aim for the neck). I actually carry a Sig-Sauer Mosquito as my current Concealed Carry, and its a .22 (Once i get the holster i ordered in, i'll be switching it out for my new Ruger-57) My only personal downside to .22 calibers (or any rim-fire calibers for that matter) is they are less-reliable than center-fire rounds. Even in 10$-box rounds of .22, i still get some that either are loaded light (ie: dont have the full powder load), or fail to fire even after a solid hit from the firing pin (note, this is not a x-out of 10 shot thing, but at least 1 or 2 out of every 50). So i 'personally' feel there's more of a risk for having a 'click' happen instead of a 'boom' when you pull the trigger, which will force you to manually rack the slide to eject the faulty round and load the next.
So I recently bought my first rifle, a Ruger 10/22....I raise hogs for meat for my family. I work as a line-cook full time & before Covid it was easier & worth the money to take them to be processed by a professional. These days in my area a small homesteader can't get an appt at a slaughter house within the next 6-8 months so I've started dispatching the pigs myself & needed a rifle...Just saying there are a million different situations/reasons to buy firearms & people shouldn't judge....thanks for the helpful videos
Here in California where they released prisoners early because they didn't want them to catch beer, then closed the gun stores, nothing could ever go wrong there. Then they flew helicopters with loudspeakers to tell us to remain in our locked homes because of the three armed suspects they were trying to find. It just shows that one does not have to be very smart to be a politician here.
Paul, love your "two" video's. Concerning the "7 yard" rule, when I am talking to people about self defense scenarios the 7 yard rule comes up. I always correct that as a guideline depending on situation, which you hit on pretty well. The one thing I say is turn the coin, now your the juror hearing your self defense case. How would "your" self defense scenario present in court? All of sudden the conversation takes on a different tone. Additionally, at least in our county our Sheriff is extremely supportive of the 2A and CWP and Self Defense. We talk with our Sheriff routinely to level set understanding of words and interpretation of the written law. Talking with a Lawyer is paramount without saying, hands down. Talking with your local LEO is just as important, if the opportunity is open to you.
i conceal carry and i keep my night gun in the drawer of my night stand ... but i have 2 of those "fast access" small 1-2 sub-compact safes he mentioned... 1 bolted to the hard-wood floor in my room and one bolted down in the back of the trunk of my car.... now i know that isnt fort Knox level security by ANY means... but my aim was more for it to be "fool proof" i.e. your everyday hoodlum braking into houses/cars with nothing more than a lock pick/pocket knife isnt going to be able to just "grab and go" with my sh*t.... an i think i basically achieved that... better have a nice crowbar with you and about 15-30 mins dedicated solely to prying a (possibly empty for all they know)safe up... seems like it isnt worth the trouble/risk....
@@dtb-bm8kx *(idk y my first comment was deleted...)* i mean its effective for what i need it for... and i think they will be more distracted by my electronics and "valuables" laying around and the 5 long gun capacity safe bolted to the foundation of my home... plus my security system will have police here well before they get either safe close to loose... i mean no normal home is safe from intruders unless you have your safes in a closet that has reinforced walls and breach resistant doors... like a full closet safe or "panic room" (which i have looked into modifying a closet in such a manner but it just seems like over kill for a house i might move from at some point...) but yeah, i think it achieves a level of security i am comfortable with...
I recently bought a few firearms. I haven't shot one or even handled one in probably 15 years. Within one week I looked up the laws of gun ownership and when, where and how I can carry them. I then contacted a couple of friends that are former and current police officers. I educated myself on what was available in my area and I could afford VS what I think I need for defense. I then legally passed the checks and purchased said firearms. I immediately continued to educate myself on guns and I still educate as much as I can take in. I also immediately bought the correct ammunition and shot each one numerous times to become familiar with the guns. In that check I also learned they work and work well. I also applied for a concealed carry permit on Saturday and I was approved the following Tuesday. All it takes is the want to properly educate yourself on any subject. We have a great advantage now. It's called TH-cam. Sure you have to find the fake experts and bad information and ignore it. Then you find channels like Mr Harrell has here. Thank you for what you do sir. Also thank you for your service.
When being taught to use SCUBA and use a weapon, I wanted sensible, mature, proven experts. Not Cowboys... Paul Harrell is one of those, and should be listened to. He stakes his reputation every time he loads a video, and he keeps high standards. Anyone seeking information on firearms for self-protection should hear Harrell - agree or disagree later, but LISTEN to this guy. He's as knowledgeable and fair as anyone I've ever seen.
I couldn't agree more. I suggest his videos to anyone who wishes to get a very reasonable, well thought out, and unbiased view of all aspects of firearms ownership and handling...to have all this information delivered free of charge, is a blessing.
Fir sure, there's nothing he says that contradicts anyone else. It's just sensible in its own right. Some of these other gun channels seem to be aiming to convince of their knowledge and superiority to others rather than simple teaching. I'm not even a gun nut enough to watch a 30 minute gun video with no shooting and only 3 or 4 guns shown. I'm on my 4th PH vid and aim keen for more.
The word is imminent not eminent. Sometimes words don't sound like I want them to.

Taking a pause instead of saying "uhh" or "umm" is a very hard speech trait that he has mastered. Wish I could do the same while public speaking
Saying that does two things:
First, it primes the viewer to expect it, so if it's something that *would* be jarring to someone, it's much less likely to happen because they know it's coming
Secondly, and this is something I recognize because I also do it, it makes any criticism of the way he speaks (which is a trashy thing to complain about, regardless) completely null and void.
There's no way to stop it, but talking about your perceived or real "flaws" is an effective way of neutering any complaints or insults about it.
What I'm saying is, the man is a great...Uhhh, speaker, lecturer, presenter...? Whichever one he'd prefer, and I'm willing to bet that he's worked very hard for to get as good as he is at it.
I wish I had pockets like that. Anytime he puts his hands in there, he comes out with the gun he wants.
SARDiverDave yes, I want this Mary Poppins shooting jacket. Cabela’s or Bass Pro?
He has the captain caveman jacket for firearms
Honestly , if he ever reached into one of the pockets and pulled out a trained Honey Badger , well , I wouldn't be a bit surprised ...

What a clear, calm, concise and precise presentation. No histrionics, machismo, arrogance or bluster. And, thank you, no unnecessary music. You’re a great presenter Paul. Greetings from the UK, shortly to be a homesteader in 250 acres of rural Spain so your advice is cogent.

Paul: I appreciate the effort but I’d like to see some better material from you guys

He is right, it shows a lack of imagination. Very disappointing.

Al S his channel has suffered significantly in the past month. And his most watched videos are the ones with Paul’s name in them. Unless he’s completely daft, I think deep down he knows he f’d up

2:20 "...venting their frustration over their failings in their attempts to deal with billygoats" It took me a few seconds to realize that he was talking about trolls.
I was thinking that their usual dates were being evasive.
I thought it was that they had a personal problem of a sexual nature😂
@ It is a reference to a fairy tale called "Three Billy Goats Gruff" in which three billy goats try to cross a bridge that a troll lives under. The troll tries to eat the goats, but the goats outsmart the troll. "Troll" is also a term for people on the internet who make deliberately provocative statements in an attempt to get a rise out of people. Paul Harrell was taking advantage of this double meaning by making the literary reference to refer to these people who were being deliberately obtuse in the youtube comments of the previous video.
"The police department might be overwhelmed/non-existent". It's like he can predict the future.
He is a wise old geezer, that much is certain.

Thank you Paul. Your videos are super-informative for previous non gun users
Living in Europe, where we mostly are not aloud to carry any kind of object that can be considered a weapon, by the police officer. Circumstances are left to his appreciation, but in short, you're not aloud to defend yourself if you're attacked. Panorama is evolving here, and we Europeans have been dis-armed for long, but rooting for our fellow Americans (and Canadians), hanging to the right to carry or posses a weapon, as a mean to defend themselves. Thank you for your efforts.
* possese (?) sorry for my bad English.
WRT added costs, you're going to want some cleaning supplies lest your gun turn into an inert, orange-tinted, gun-shaped object.
I stumbled upon this. So glad I did. My Wife and I need to brush up on our firearms skills and we are thus motivated! Thank you and you now have two more followers!!!
Thanks. Stay safe.
Yea as someone who bought their first handgun this week, he nailed it about not having access to things like ranges, training and gun stores. not to mention I can't find 9mm ammo for sale locally. Fortunately my brother in law has always had guns, gave me enough for a full mag, suggested drills for operating the gun and practicing the "straight finger". I'm looking forward to getting some range time, hopefully sooner rather than later.
You can still find reloading kits and premium components, likely also at a premium, but available. Reloading will pay for itself in short order, is a good skill to have, and with the time many people have on their hands at the moment building a new skill is a great idea.
@@six-gunsound1145 we are looking into reloading actually. I like the idea and the brother in law is thinking about doing some competition shooting. Plus if I get a decent press, I'm looking at a dillon 550c, there will always be a decent amount of resale value if it doesn't work out is my thinking.
I must be a glutton for punishment with my RCBS single stage. With a progressive press you're cranking out some serious volume. Make sure you stay on top of the lubrication requirements, the faster you move metal parts together the more frequently that needs to be attended to. Good luck and welcome to the gun "club".
Great point on "quick access" safes. Even though I do not have children in the house, I have two of them. You don't want an intruder to have quick access to your loaded gun. Also, regarding the one in the bedroom, having to open it makes sure you are sufficiently awake that you do not shoot your spouse coming up the stairs. I do recommend that you get one that is mechanical in nature rather then biometric. I have seen biometric locks fails to open on a number of ocassions. Also, make sure your periodically check the batteries on the locking mechanism to make sure they are still go and the mechanism will work.
I live alone and keep a loaded .38 Special DA revolver under my pillow. Paranoid? Maybe, but at least I have a little "surprise" for anyone that should break in at night!
This man should be required viewing. Even in Canada lol quiet no nonsense and very fact driven
I'm in Canada. This popped up in my recommended for some reason, so I watched out of curiosity. Excellent presentation, although I'm sure 90% of it is useless to me. His one recommendation in the first part (Glock) is, I believe, a restricted firearm here. Shame. I admire America's better approach to guns. Woe betide your nation should the gun-grabbers there prevail.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 Glocks are classified as restricted firearms yes, but you are able to get a restricted level PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence). However part of the reason the Glock was his recommendation was the magazine capacity, which is limited to 10 rounds in Canada rather than the 15 rounds in his model.
Semiautomatic handgun magazines in Canada are limited to a maximum 10 cartridges (this includes both rimfire and centrefire semi-automatic handguns).
The exception are magazines designed for one calibre that will function in handguns of a different calibre and hold a higher capacity.
The RCMP give an example as follows: "Heckler and Koch P7 pistol chambered for 9mm Luger caliber: The magazine designed for the 40 S&W calibre variant of the pistol will hold 13 cartridges of 9mm Luger calibre and function in the 9mm Luger calibre P7 pistol. This is permissible as the maximum permitted capacity of the 40 S&W calibre magazine must be measured by the number of 40 S&W calibre cartridges it is capable of holding, which is 10 such cartridges in the case of the HK P7 pistol magazine."

Whats caught many people by surprise is the massive gas / fuel glut and it's worth $0 now, and the silver price has collapsed because it's reliant on industry demand to maintain demand and price. Paul I never thought I would see months of food shortages of essentials ever going on, but I see it now, and I see it across many first world countries. Nice dig at the hate trolls, but thats only going to trigger them more. You know your stuff. Yes in Australia you can't have a gun to protect your family or home. In essence gun ownership here is extremely difficult.
A year later, and we've found a way to shoot gas prices to the moon, while the prices of almost everything else are inflating as well, as the supply of pretty much everything useful or valuable has all but vanished from years of lost productivity. It's astonishing how much political, social, and economic damage governments have managed to cause - and continues to cause - against their own citizens, on what has been, now that we can see it from almost two years of 20/20 hindsight, the flimsiest of excuses! Here in the USA, crime rates in larger cities due to deliberate setbacks against law enforcement alone have converted a historic number of people into first-time gun owners, while making gun-control virtual political poison for governments and political candidates to openly embrace.

"tells us something about the mentality of LE in that jurisdiction" Tells us that those LEOs are tyrants and/or just want to make or break their fine quotas and make people's lives miserable with having an arrest on their record, and wasting time and money defending yourself in court. I spit on them (figuratively)!
The video quality looks exceptional on this one.
Amen brother. Often LE are the promoters of unconstitutional laws and should get no love until proven otherwise.
Only thing is about that being said is its not typically the LE who introduce those laws much less pass them. Not every cop agrees with gun laws or is a gun grabber.
Laws are typically passed via vote of states Representatives and lots of citizens encouraging their reps to vote one way or another.
The problem you have to look at is how the LE interpret those laws because that's often how they get you.
@@ArmaGuyz
Fair enough. Although in my opinion the LE has a duty to concern themselves with the legal standard and precedent set by the supreme court. As to not falsely interpret a law out of negligence or enforce an unconstitutional law. The most obvious example being red flag laws.
Tells us that they are in California.
@@ArmaGuyz The other issue is that LE officers are most typically exposed to the least civilized or law abiding among us on a daily basis. And that colors their view of everyone they meet. Including the good guys who are involved in a civilian shooting.

Gun laws: I’ve hunted with a suppressed .44 for years all over the Southeast. No problems. I got stationed to Connecticut and before I went up there, I called to check whether it was legal to hunt with a suppressor in CT.
The guy on the phone started panicking at me even asking the question - how do I have a suppressor? Where did I get it? Why would I ask that? Everyone knows that’s illegal? How do I even own one?
Sounds about right. That's why I moved away.
Stuck here in CT. You can't even get a shotgun anymore without a permit and 100 hours of required classes + tests. It's insanity.
Someone I know just moved to Connecticut and wanted to get a BB gun to shoot some rodents that were destroying her strawberry patch. Turns out you need a PERMIT for a BB gun in Connecticut.

@FlamQ Dbltap I live in Minneapolis, not a single person I know on my immediate family or friends "allowed" that to happen, nor did we support any riots or looting of any kind, what did you expect us to do? go around shooting people? If the police had responded with force our state would be in even worse shape than it is now. These people wanted the police to shoot first so they could justify attacking the police to themselves and honestly a large percentage of the people I saw were from out of state taking advantage of the situation I don't appreciate the way you are painting the entire state as a band of traitors that deserve to be cut off.

Cause she has three--one for her car, one for her purse and one for her nightstand. I'm a lucky man...

I think you overrate the value of this comment section. You should not feel like you need to address the small but vocal minority.
The Dunning-Kruger study on Why Stupid People Think They're Smart explains it perfectly. th-cam.com/video/E7NdrkKD8Vk/w-d-xo.html
For the whole Distance thing. In the Concealed Carry class i had, 'distance' was only ever a thing when it came to someone having a 'hand-to-hand' style weapon visible, 'or' if they were approaching you with no visible weapon but 'stating their intent' to kill/harm you.
In those cases.. it would 'not' be reasonable to use deadly force on them if they were 'beyond' 21 yards (roughly the length of a living room for mental visual). But if they were within that range, then as you yourself said, they 'could' potentially close that gap rather fast so 'would' be a imminent threat.
If though, the other party had a long-range weapon (another fire-arm or such), then all it would require is the belief that they intended to 'use' that weapon on us.
Step 1: Don't wait until a state of emergency to decide you support the 2nd amendment or should have a means to defend yourself. It's like drinking milk to build up strong bones after your arm's already broken.

"Why would you buy a firearm to deal with a virus?" Let me explain how I see that. I'm living in Poland, in one of the three biggest cities in that country. We do not have even 0.001% of guns you Guys in the US have, firearms are incredibly difficult to obtain here. (I'm not counting black market or otherwise illegal firearms, since in my 28 year long life I was offered to buy very cheap and very real illegal AKMS with black polymer aftermarket furniture and literal bucket of military surplus ammo and at different occasion, as a highschooler I've received an offer to buy CZ 83 in 9x18 mm Makarov, which I'm 99% sure was a gun involved in homicide or similar affair)
Anyway, ad meritum: since my early 16-teens I was never involved in any fight; I was pretty reserved guy and was an sheltered kid.
Now, since there is quarantine in Poland, I had to kick, punch or straight away maim THREE people in ONE week. Agressive drunkards or hobo's, who disregard mask-wearing warrants and are bored/drunk/stupid out of their mind. I talk about streetfights in broad daylight, in the very city centre. That, before Beer was UNTHINKABLE. If situation with proletaryat/hobo/drug abusive/plainly dangerous people is similar in your country, then I shudder. Because all I fear in Poland is risk of contracting a virus from drunkards and some bruises, not a cluster of freaking bulletholes... Yes, I'd buy a gun if I was living in US right this instant!
If I lived in Poland I'd buy a gun in remembrance of the Warsaw ghettos.
Never forget.
After being invaded by both fascists and communists and being the USSR's bitch for 50 years you would expect Poland to allow its citizens to have gun ownership.
If you're that healthy to fight drunks in public, I don't think you or any healthy person has to worry about this virus....you obese, diabetic, untreated high blood pressure & over 60, well hell you better lay low. "Step aside & let the healthy man thru." Ha ha
Actually by european standards of gun regulations, in Poland it is relatively easy to get firearms - at least based on a Wikipedia article. Don't forget that you can legally buy a blackpowder weapon provided it was manufactured or designed before 1886 if I remember correctly, without any additional permits other than your id. *However* without a specific permit you cannot carry it with you for self defense outside of your home.
If my memory serves me correctly, Poland’s Constitution or Bill of Rights was modeled or is similar to the U.S.’s or it was created right after the U.S.’s. I wish the Polish people would have also been blessed with a 2nd Amendment. Perhaps the wealthy magnats back in the day didn’t want ordinary people to have any power. My son served in Afghanistan as an American linguist along with some Polish special forces and said the Poles were exceptionally good soldiers and men.
I have been watching your channel for a long time. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I hope that you will keep making your videos, I find all of them helpful. I have told many people who need advice to watch your channel. Thank you again. I'm a big fan.

i myself self taught, iv done the same with my wife,kids, and inlaws because when something happens atleast i kno that we all move as one. the gun is only as good as the person behind it. another great video👍👍
Thanks Paul. Just a word about the recent gun ban in Canada. The mini 14 is on the "banned" list, but not the Tavor 7. It doesn't get any more mindless.
4:43 sorry, I couldn’t help it. I had to replay it several times.
9:00 - This is all an excellent thing to bring up and you'll be surprised how many people don't understand this sort of thing, don't think about it, and seem to think that world is fair and always works by the rules as they think they're supposed to work.
I'm watching the Top Ten series again because the situation has gone downhill. Fire departments and law enforcement is virtually non-existant and there is civil unrest in the streets. I think it is safe to say that we are WROL.
I'm not confident that my little Ruger 10/22 would be sufficient but surely ammo should be easy enough to find. And maybe find an inexpensive autoloader for home defense until I can get a CWL.
in 'most' cases, the caliber of a firearm is irrelevant, only a rare few individuals will be walking around with store-bought body armor. Even a BB or Pellet-gun can kill if you hit the right place. Its 2 things that count.
1) Hitting what your aiming at.
2) Shot placement.
Even if someone who kicks in your door is wearing full Level-3A body armor, a .22 shot to their noggin will kill (unless they somehow got ahold of a full-face armored helmet, in which case, aim for the neck).
I actually carry a Sig-Sauer Mosquito as my current Concealed Carry, and its a .22 (Once i get the holster i ordered in, i'll be switching it out for my new Ruger-57)
My only personal downside to .22 calibers (or any rim-fire calibers for that matter) is they are less-reliable than center-fire rounds. Even in 10$-box rounds of .22, i still get some that either are loaded light (ie: dont have the full powder load), or fail to fire even after a solid hit from the firing pin (note, this is not a x-out of 10 shot thing, but at least 1 or 2 out of every 50). So i 'personally' feel there's more of a risk for having a 'click' happen instead of a 'boom' when you pull the trigger, which will force you to manually rack the slide to eject the faulty round and load the next.
So I recently bought my first rifle, a Ruger 10/22....I raise hogs for meat for my family. I work as a line-cook full time & before Covid it was easier & worth the money to take them to be processed by a professional. These days in my area a small homesteader can't get an appt at a slaughter house within the next 6-8 months so I've started dispatching the pigs myself & needed a rifle...Just saying there are a million different situations/reasons to buy firearms & people shouldn't judge....thanks for the helpful videos
Here in California where they released prisoners early because they didn't want them to catch beer, then closed the gun stores, nothing could ever go wrong there. Then they flew helicopters with loudspeakers to tell us to remain in our locked homes because of the three armed suspects they were trying to find. It just shows that one does not have to be very smart to be a politician here.
It would seem that, one doesn't have to be very smart to be a voter there either. Same as everywhere else.
Thank you a lot. I went cheaper and bought the fifteen round ruger ten twenty two magazine. Great video.
Paul, love your "two" video's. Concerning the "7 yard" rule, when I am talking to people about self defense scenarios the 7 yard rule comes up. I always correct that as a guideline depending on situation, which you hit on pretty well. The one thing I say is turn the coin, now your the juror hearing your self defense case. How would "your" self defense scenario present in court? All of sudden the conversation takes on a different tone.
Additionally, at least in our county our Sheriff is extremely supportive of the 2A and CWP and Self Defense. We talk with our Sheriff routinely to level set understanding of words and interpretation of the written law. Talking with a Lawyer is paramount without saying, hands down. Talking with your local LEO is just as important, if the opportunity is open to you.
i conceal carry and i keep my night gun in the drawer of my night stand ... but i have 2 of those "fast access" small 1-2 sub-compact safes he mentioned... 1 bolted to the hard-wood floor in my room and one bolted down in the back of the trunk of my car.... now i know that isnt fort Knox level security by ANY means... but my aim was more for it to be "fool proof" i.e. your everyday hoodlum braking into houses/cars with nothing more than a lock pick/pocket knife isnt going to be able to just "grab and go" with my sh*t.... an i think i basically achieved that... better have a nice crowbar with you and about 15-30 mins dedicated solely to prying a (possibly empty for all they know)safe up... seems like it isnt worth the trouble/risk....
Anything is worth the trouble and risk when youre desperate.
@@dtb-bm8kx *(idk y my first comment was deleted...)* i mean its effective for what i need it for... and i think they will be more distracted by my electronics and "valuables" laying around and the 5 long gun capacity safe bolted to the foundation of my home... plus my security system will have police here well before they get either safe close to loose... i mean no normal home is safe from intruders unless you have your safes in a closet that has reinforced walls and breach resistant doors... like a full closet safe or "panic room" (which i have looked into modifying a closet in such a manner but it just seems like over kill for a house i might move from at some point...) but yeah, i think it achieves a level of security i am comfortable with...
Fun Fact: Underneath Paul’s hunting jacket is a complete upper body yakuza style tattoo of a hunting jacket.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Good one. He got it right after his Bond scene, rising out of the water.
Lol
No there isn't we've seen him shirtless uwu
... I thought it would be a hunting jacket style negligee :p
Paul, we completely disagree on one point. I feel, like all of us, every single one of us, would love to see the Paul Harrell custom self haircut.
TheLupin22 lol. my thoughtscexactly. maybe on facebook live??
Pay per view? Geoff Who is not THAT curious and has little hair to cut, but where else can I get my head exercised by beautiful young women?
500K subscriber special?
Mohawk, too.
Wait, that would be Taxi Driver-ish. There would definitely be caveats we'd first have to discuss. And: I mean the film.
Paul’s dry sense of humor is extremely comedic. You can tell he’s ex-military from a mile away.
Chuck Cribbs I love his dead pan humor.
And sounds strange if he try make - joke - :)
"Things are going fairly well"
I come from the month of June! Things got worse.
Right?!
Well said
Lol
Paul: "Things aren't that bad right now"
Minnesota: " Hold my beer"
You make that sound like a division in the space-time continuum. "I come from the month of June"...in a galaxy far, far away.
I recently bought a few firearms. I haven't shot one or even handled one in probably 15 years. Within one week I looked up the laws of gun ownership and when, where and how I can carry them. I then contacted a couple of friends that are former and current police officers. I educated myself on what was available in my area and I could afford VS what I think I need for defense. I then legally passed the checks and purchased said firearms. I immediately continued to educate myself on guns and I still educate as much as I can take in. I also immediately bought the correct ammunition and shot each one numerous times to become familiar with the guns. In that check I also learned they work and work well. I also applied for a concealed carry permit on Saturday and I was approved the following Tuesday. All it takes is the want to properly educate yourself on any subject. We have a great advantage now. It's called TH-cam. Sure you have to find the fake experts and bad information and ignore it. Then you find channels like Mr Harrell has here. Thank you for what you do sir. Also thank you for your service.
When being taught to use SCUBA and use a weapon, I wanted sensible, mature, proven experts. Not Cowboys...
Paul Harrell is one of those, and should be listened to. He stakes his reputation every time he loads a video, and he keeps high standards.
Anyone seeking information on firearms for self-protection should hear Harrell - agree or disagree later, but LISTEN to this guy. He's as knowledgeable and fair as anyone I've ever seen.
Well said
I couldn't agree more. I suggest his videos to anyone who wishes to get a very reasonable, well thought out, and unbiased view of all aspects of firearms ownership and handling...to have all this information delivered free of charge, is a blessing.
Fir sure, there's nothing he says that contradicts anyone else. It's just sensible in its own right. Some of these other gun channels seem to be aiming to convince of their knowledge and superiority to others rather than simple teaching. I'm not even a gun nut enough to watch a 30 minute gun video with no shooting and only 3 or 4 guns shown. I'm on my 4th PH vid and aim keen for more.
You know Paul keeps that mfing thang on him
Thats cool as hell that you watch other people's work bro. You do great work too!! Keep it up!
Don't we all 🔫
