      It is Eastern Oregon. They are like that all year long; particularly up on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. I never hunted deer because turkeys from Portland are the most dangerous birds in Oregon. His brother was shot by a Portland "deer hunter." Personally, if you are a true hunter for a sport, then use a bow, if not a spear and a knife. Shooting one at 500 yards makes you a better sniper than a hunter.

Then there was his “...watching submarine races with your girlfriend” down at the lake. That one made me smile also. I suppose the races would be sponsored by your friendly local drug smugglers?

    I found myself in need of a personal defense weapon after receiving a death threat from a member of organized crime. I ended up with an AR pistol for a few reasons. One of the biggest reason is it qualifies as a handgun and I can carry it loaded and concealed. A concealed loaded rifle is not an option in my area. Other reasons are the fact that I have ammo for an AR, I already know how to operate an AR and it was available.

    • @OutsideTheTargetDemographic
      @OutsideTheTargetDemographic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      A year ago, my cousin told me he got an AR pistol. "Why would you do that?" ignorant me asked. "More blast, more noise, less ballistics, less range, same price as a rifle? No thanks." "You can legally keep a pistol loaded in your car with your CHL." I now have two. As you said, caliber redundancy, mag redundancy, optic-ready, ~2700fps out of a 10.5" barrel, muscle memory/ergos/manual of arms transfer, and my understanding is you could swap a longer upper onto the "pistol" and essentially carry a rifle loaded. 👍

      @@OutsideTheTargetDemographic - With a 10.5” barrel your AR is probably a bit over 26”, which makes it a firearm rather than a pistol. May want to double check your local laws.

    Hi, I'm a LT in the What If Brigade. I'll have to add that the people that have backpack guns are often the people prepared for combat in specific situations other than just going about a normal day with a concealed carry. I used to deliver pizzas and when I started that job, a more seasoned co worker informed me that it's against store policy to to carry a gun inside, so instead of just concealing his pistol really well, he put it in a backpack in his passenger seat and made sure it was unzipped when he went to more colorful parts of town where delivery boys had been robbed before. When he got out of the car to do the delivery, he slung the backpack on his shoulder like in a 90's college movie and was still able to quickly get the gun. I'd just like to say *what if* real quick here.

    Back when I carried, one of my options was a fannie pack holster which using Velcro could have the front pulled off for access, used for my primary. While it didn't carry a larger weapon it didn't required a jacket or pulled out shirttail, and could be taken off and tossed in the car trunk or a locker without being obvious. And it would fit either my K frame or SW 9. It was kind of obvious if you knew what it was due to the cord hanging down used to pull the front loose, but I don't remember ever seeing another one.
    I had a NAA MiniMag for a backup, useful as a belly gun or making noise, but is sure was easy to conceal.

    In regards to the shockwave Tac13/14 type shotguns: technique/practice is important. Not sure if it’s been covered in another video, but if you use your support hand to “push” the gun while you use your firing hand to “pull” the tension will provide a more stable aim and you’ll never hit yourself in the face. You should feel like you’re trying to stretch the gun apart. Feels weird at first, but is a game-changer for those style of not shotgun shotguns.

    Semper fi Paul. I love your dry humor as well as your expertise. My briefcase/ backpack gun is my KelTec sub2000 with the glock G19 compatible mags of my carry gun. You are right about not having time to assemble it if the balloon goes up, though. You would need to resist the temptation to try to assemble it in the middle of a firefight, which probably would get you killed. Particularly if you try to install the red dot sight on top. But at least you have the immediate advantage of extra loaded hi-cap mags for your G19. It does offer the advantage of another weapon for someone else to use in an emergency. Trained in it's deployment, of course.The threats are morphing as we speak, with the return of terrorism to our shores thanks to the ineptitude of this President.

    To me a “Briefcase Gun” is something like the Heckler & Koch MP5k operational briefcase and it was lightweight, at four pounds, six ounces.
    To fire, you pulled a trigger built into the briefcase’s handle. Mechanical actuators connected to the trigger on the gun, which fired through a hole in the wall of the case. The 30-round magazine guaranteed a good burst of firepower before you had to open the case and reload.

    I've always been more of an AR fan myself, but I'd personally like to throw in an honorable mention to AK pistols as well. Combine a brace with a folding attachment and a 20-round magazine, and it is just as compact as, if not more compact than, a similarly set up AR pistol. In addition, unlike ARs, folding braces or stocks of any sort on an AK platform do not require deployment of said brace or stock to function properly. Some folks also prefer the ballistics of 7.62x39 or 5.45x39. My only real sticking points with those are the felt recoil vs. 5.56/.223 and heavier weight (remember, you're going to be lugging this thing a whole lot more than you're going to be shooting it).

    I have bought a Winchester 94 Trails end Takedown in .30-30 recently, I'm in love with it. It is 20 inch long when disassembled, has a 20 inch barrell... And litteraly takes 5-10 seconds to (dis)assemble. It has a reasonable capacity (6+1), and shots an effective round with a reasonable speed of operation. Plus its not a terryfing "asSaUlT wEaPoN" :)

    You have been practicing a lot with that shockwave. As a retired range safety officer for my state (thanks covid) I can tell you most people I see with one of these "whippet" guns is more likely to shoot their foot off than hit a target at ten yards with #4 Buck.

    Another down side of the Shockwave is all I've seen have an extremely tight pattern, even with buckshot. This results in more precise aim being necessary to even strike the target at all.

    In defense of the carry gun in the backpack:
    In texas, if you have a carry license, you can carry in MOST places on a State university campus. Yes, there are restriction.
    My carry gun at the time was a Ruger SR9c with some mags. I COULD have carried on my person, but it was far more comfortable (because Texas) to not do so because I almost never wore a jacket.
    My theory was, the time it takes me to get to the gun in my bag (maybe putting on the paddle holster and mag carrier) would only get me killed if they came to the specific room I was in first. When I went out to, say, the store, I carried a pocket pistol in .380 with a spare mag in the other pocket. I didn't like the gun much, or else it would have been my everyday carry.

    How to spot a counterfeit Paul Harrell video: No chronograph usage w/mean velocities given. No use of “the meat target with the new and improved fleece bullet stop” with no caveats, rudimentary demonstrations, and shattner-esque pauses. There is one caveat to the aforementioned counterfeit Paul Harrell video spotting tips and that is :insert shattner-esque pause: a “cooking in the field with Paul Harrell” video.

    A shotgun with a folding stock might also let you fit a shotgun in a bag or case while still giving you a stock to use afterwards, though that also means it legally must have an 18 inch barrel rather than the 14 inch the Shockwave can have.
