    Just spoke to my therapist today and brought up how a stray round hit my household in Chicago. In that same timeframe, my father was at a Sam’s club while there was an active shooter.
    Long story short, growing up in Chicago and being deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan has definitely taught me how important preparation is. But my therapist had the audacity to hint that I am being paranoid and shouldn’t carry a firearm…
    I stood ground and told her that it’s better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.
    Stay frosty boys!

    Back in the day I used to EDC my Glock 22 un-chambered and I was able to successfully draw, rack, and hit one of my targets during a attempted robbery. When hindsight kicked in shortly after the incident I realized that the circumstances that allowed me to do so were one of a kind and very unique, and if it weren’t for those particular circumstances, then I probably wouldn’t be alive today. That’s the day that I started caring in one in the chamber.

    I love listening these guys who have been operating for years. The level of detail that you get from Unit guys is fascinating. I watched a video of Larry Vickers (a couple of generations behind Kyle) and they both share the same detail (Larry was describing bolting a king-size mag-lite on a MP5 back in the day). Their parallel assessment and evaluation of a tool (in this case a red dot vs the mag-lite) really shows the level of investment these men had in their trade and the advancement of technology. We had a 1SG in 3rd Rangers (Pat Hurley, RIP) who had spent years in the Unit and returned to the Regiment. The man was a wealth of knowledge. He'd walk behind a young 20 year-old fire team leader clearing a room and drop these small pearls of wisdom that saved lives. Proud to be an American and proud of these men who stood the line for our freedom and our children's safety. Thanks to you too Shawn, for the same reasons, your podcasts are excellent.

      Really loved the insight about how you don't even need the red dot to make a clear sight picture and using the window of glass as a reference for where the impact happens. I've been SUPER resistant to red dots on pistols and while this hasn't changed my mind over 3dot tritium iron sights it has slightly moved the bar further towards the other end.

    Separated-continued education, M.A. psychology and certified CPT provider for PTSD/Trauma-one of the first in the state (TX) in conjunction with the VA and community MH providers. Licensed Professional Counselor and opened the Office Military and Veterans Services at West Texas A&M University-Director from 2012-2022, now private practice clinical therapy.
    This episode struck me as it is exactly what I say to my wife about her EDC Sig 9, no use to you without one in the chamber, the activating event will not pause for you dig it out of the little bag in your big bag and rack one while coming up on target.
    Sorry this was so long, but really just wanted to say thank you, to you and your guest for sharing and hopefully helping others. I can say, I use some of the same methods in my practice, challenging beliefs, old habits, reality checking, etc.

    Absolutely spot on interview. I think everyone who carries a weapon, as I do, should watch this interview. Particularly compelling was the “conversation with yourself” part. When I started carrying I found myself reflecting on the realities of the responsibility of possibly using deadly force. For me the imprimatur was I carry for three reasons; 1) to protect my life and the lives of my family, 2) to defend the lives of the innocent, and 3) to assist LEOs under assault. When I arrived at those rationales I realized that I had effectively removed the mystery of making a life altering decision. Great interview Shawn! Bravo Zulu shipmate.

    Shawn excellent interview as always . A mature and thoughtful, presentation of mindset coupled with awareness. Don’t always check in with 2A content like I should, much more into cooking and living lately lately. Stay blessed and thank you.

    This conversation is dense, and truely gets down the heart of concealed carry. Everything said was relevant with a distinct purpose, no fluff, just wisdom through experience.

    Awesome convo. Sean I have always loved the practicality you bring with edc and I died when he said he uses a red dot. Haven’t made the leap yet, still love the old iron. I love the paranoia vs preparation. I keep my bag “loaded” and try to keep the amount of things on my person to a minimum. Gun, knife or multi tool, keys, wallet, spare mag, flashlight occasionally.

    Dot on a pistol is no different than a dot on a rifle in terms of reliability. Guys said the same thing when dudes started running optics on their carbines, there's obviously levels of quality and durability depending on brand and price but with the options available today there's plenty that are absolutely reliable enough to trust on a go to gun.

    • @poconofrank9476
      @poconofrank9476 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It’s much different between a dot on a pistol and a dot on a rifle. A pistol dot rides back on forth on the slide subjecting it to much more than the recoil impulse from a rifle. A robust proven dot on a pistol is mandatory if you are gonna trust your life with it. A rifle is not nearly as hard on a red dot

    "If I take my gun out, my everyday carry gun, I'm killing someone...It's not there for me to de-escalate." Hot damn, some sobering words. I wish more people had this mindset and understood the implications of it. So great to have that reality check by a true professional who has the experience and understanding of the gravity of making such a decision.

    The more I see on social media of the whole Tactical Operator drama stuff (don't get me wrong, I love watching pros room clearing and dropping knowledge) the petty infighting, and the fact that everyone and their dog are doing gear reviews and running and gunning cool stuff...the more I appreciate your podcasts.
    I really like your style of interview, letting these men really pour themselves out there and letting us civilians hear and know what it's really like out there for them, how much they sacrifice.
    Your channel is unique and always a breath of fresh air compared to yet ANOTHER "Best Combat Red Dot Review" from internet Operator #46. 😅

      To me that's one of the things that just make him more endearing - he's just like me in that regard. Sometimes I have good, pertinent info to share but I'm not the best at knowing which words to use to impart it to others. But unlike me, he's chock full of good experience and he DOES manage to tell you what he wants you to know.

    Kyle spitting 100% truth on EDC! I know people who won't carry with one in the pipe..i've told them that very thing "You'd be dead before you could identify the threat, pull, rack, present, and crack off a round". Train....it's what will make you comfortable carrying, clearing cloth, and presenting.

    • @johnc5330
