I served with Chris at 5th group and this was a very good representation him as a person. One of the most genuine human beings on the planet. GREAT GUY!!!
Its not a mystery. I would implore you to look into government lobbying and how corporate lobbyists work with our "representatives". I'll spoil the ending: both sides are equally as guilty...
I miss my 4 gun collection. Lost them in a boating accident years ago. That 10mm XD ., .308 SASS , 5.56.CAR and mossy 12 Guage covered all the bases..😢
Even though this was a longer EDC video, this was really enjoyable. Aside from talking about what he carries everyday and what he'd *like* to carry everyday, I also enjoyed the conversations about what y'all's favorite weapons are. I'd like to see more of that.
I was raised 8 miles back on a private dirt road in Shenandoah county Virginia. We were on the border of West Virginia and if you saw a car back there you either knew them or they were trespassing. The Blue ridge mountains are one of the most beautiful places in the United States.
@@python3574 No but my areas copperhead road was called Jerome rd. Wild couple of families that lived and own the land back there for many generations.
Pretty similar to where I live, but I'm in the hills of MS. There are only a few residents on our 15 miles of gravel rd. The kids from town will ride the backroads and drink beer on occasion, but other than that, no one is back here that shouldn't be. I have some Gung ho neighbors that will park a tractor in the road and question suspicious people. The sherriff let's them do it. 😅 I will definitely help a neighbor if they call me, but I'm not bothering anyone that stays on the road. Most of our homes (including mine), are perched on ridges. We all have hunting rifles (among other toys), and nobody really wants to mess around out here unless they are idiots. About ten years ago we had some burglaries while people's guard was down. (They made the mistake of coming back for more) Now everyone has cameras, and is ready for whatever.
Here in West Virginia we all carry firearms. Our land is filled with with water springs. Where I live we don’t even have cell service often. There is no crime. If there is, we take care of it ourselves!!! Like Jason Alden says, try that in a small town.
I love WV.. Such great, down to earth people.. Helping the less fortunate with simple home repairs as part of a church group was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life.
I like it how Chris gets asked about his EDC, and he brought in responsibility and possibilities instantly, since these 2 things themselves are pretty much just the core of EDC, and than the actual gears come in. Very enjoyable talk, loved it!
Chris still has that childhood energetic spark in him after all he has been through. He is a strong minded, passionate American and we need more like him!
The three main items in my EDC are 1) ZT knife 2) flashlight 3) Springfield or Kimber .45. In addition I carry a TQ, Leatherman, two spare mags. I have additional items in my truck, GHB, plates and carrier with seven spare AR mags, 4 more 45 mags. Camelback, med bag, + misc items.
I served in the Marine corps from 1970 to 1973, New York City Police Dept. from 1974 till 1994. Did a couple of years in the NY Army National Guard and a couple years in the USMCR. I'm in my 70's today and still carry everyday. No longer living in NYC, thank God. Every few years I train and carry a new firearm. Built my own AR15. Today I carry a S&W M&P Shield Plus with a red dot sight. Every year I take a defensive Pistol Course. About 4 years ago I took a two day Defensive pistol and carbine course. I believe in training. I love to shoot. But, as I get older, I've found that it's a skill that you lose if you don't use it. Chris Miller is a lot younger than I. But, I can appreciate his enthusiasm.

Chris is a great man. He is so much more real and down to earth than you'd ever expect, especially given his rise through the government. Usually you have to be a complete patsy sell out to get that high. Appreciate everything he's done.
Proud to have served w/5SFG (04-06) and (then) LTC Chris Miller, who was a 5SFG BN CDR. Carried both the SIG P228 (Afghanistan) and the Beretta M9 (Iraq), and I was OK w/the operation of both down-range.
This guy is absolutely right. It isn't about what you carry, it's what you know how to do. I'd love to get more training on that operating in a denied area, because whenever you fly somewhere, you end up naked of all your good juicy EDC stuff. Or have to go into a courthouse or Federal building.
Sir, this is one of the best interviews, and informative conversations on any of your shows that I have watched. The guy is so down-to-earth and easy-going and humble yet Confident at the same time
The 92f is a great gun. Most of the ones in the Army were shot out and under maintained. I shot expert one time with one that would not completety chamber the round, I was smacking the slide into battery and then shooting the target. Sent that gun to the armorer and got the springs replaced and it operated perfect.
I’m a broke 23 year old but I still decided to ball out on a Daniel defense ddm4v7. I got it at a discount and it was at the time that an “assault weapon” ban was being proposed in Congress. Not gonna lie though I do not regret spending the money, my Daniel defense is my baby.
My main carry’s are: CZP-07 it’s basically a Glock with a hammer strike. Also have a Glock 19 w/light. And often carry my shield plus too if I want something more small and comfortable
It’s not lawlessness it’s the prosecution of those defending themselves and their property and others that’s the problem. If you made it legal to shoplift but the shop owner was allowed to defend their merchandise accordingly, then people wouldn’t shoplift.
Best thing in my EDC is my trained dog. He is German Shpepard-Pitbull mix. I named him Benno in honor of U.S. Army Ranger Julian McDonald's dog who was KIA. I got him during covid and he had 5 homes in 2 months. He was very aggresive and nobody could handle him so I thought Benno was pretty suiting. Now I have trained him so he has tramed aggression. He is my buddy and and great addition to my EDC. He goes everywhere I go. He looks like a brindle German Shepard on steriods with a pitbull head.
This guy looks like a very humble genuine person. Not some pretentious fancy crap like oh my Rolex collection or my Louis Vuitton bag and my Alien extra sensorial meditation mat bullshit. He also seems really funny and easy to get along with. I love this EDC warm ups because you learn a lot not only about tools but the guests' personality as well.
Navy SARC is what Chris was talking about. Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman. They go through advance combat training well above what any regular corpsman would. Not sure now, but back when I was in the Marines, they went through either BRC or some even went through ITC.
It's very refreshing to hear someone who came from the military and then into politics openly say he's broke. Clearly, he's an honest man. God Bless him!
I am fortunate enough to live in a rural area, with good water on my property. I've found the hardest thing about living out our dream "off grid" homestead is not the financial hurdles. It's convincing our wives to live there with us.

Super down to Earth and totally legit. We can use men as leaders like him. As a former SecDef he is clearly NOT an establishment guy. For him to talk about not having money is EXACTLY the kinda leader and politician we need. He also doesn’t trust government! Im wondering exactly what he saw!
Much respect to this guest and his service to our country. On another note, he may be my favorite guest of all time for the show because he honestly reminds me so much of myself L O L.
Shawn you've had some cool guys on your show, this is your best interview yet! What a cool guy that Green Beret is! Just a down to earth regular guy. All except for the Green Beret stuff, nothing regular about that.
Imma coal mine owner from Gilbert wv beside Virginia and Kentucky state line. This is truly the place to be Shawn if it gets real. It’s a whole different world here with the absolute toughest men in the world. This forest provides and I know every inch of these ole hills around me.
I remember the first time I fired a US issued Beretta M9. It was US Army issue that was moved over to DOD. It was the biggest piece of garbage that I had ever shot. It was like holding a coffee can full of nickels! It was so sloppy and loose. I still achieved a perfect score on the DOD Course of Fire, but it was a struggle. Oddly enough, the Provost Marshal of our base, was carrying a Glock 19. I guess the old saying, "Rank has its privileges" was true after all....
It’s crazy to me that this dude spent so much time in the military and was the former Secretary of Defense and yet even he can’t legally carry concealed every where he goes is just nuts to me. I would expect someone that held that type of position would have the ability to protect themselves at all times and anywhere in the US regardless of the BS laws in that specific state.
Your wife should come visit London and see how our gun-bans worked out. Recently a 10-year old boy was shot in his own home, because only the criminals have guns, now
Hey Chris, I got a Gerber dagger from the 80s when I was 14 years old. I’ve watered out a headshot and the guy just sold it to me double edge digger Gerber made in the USA Portland Oregon. It even got a metal handle painted black beautiful blade. It’s got to be worth money. There’s a serial number on the blade in the serial number on the sheath on the clip too. It’s made a nice leather to boot knife.
@@newFaction64 They let the Government err, _our tax dollars_ pay for the shelters, transport, stockpiles and all other manner of preparations. None for us. Or at best, crumbs off the table so they could point to 'a program'.

Runaway or help fix the problems. And every “operator” on here has chosen to runaway from their country’s domestic needs. I did my time, retired, healed up, then got back in the fight. Even if I can only help one family a week, it’s still helping my community. You guys are better than to hide from the civilians you don’t understand. They need your help more than ever. They need to know what core values are and the people who actually live by them.
Shoutout to all the preppers out there prepping their stuff for me, the go bags, water, food, etc. will save me a lot on time & resources 👏 On a side note, the Appalachian Mountains are a solid place to head to when SHTF
The first video I saw of Shawn's was: Vigilance Elite - Do Spec Ops Dudes EDC Carry 1 in the Pipe? I've been subscribed (and re-subscribed many times due to YT) ever since.
I like the idea of that Macro X Comp slide, on top of a 365XL grip. You can still EDC with a 17-round mag in place if that works for you (with how you're dressing for the weather or situation), or if you are worried about really not printing (for whatever reason), you can use the 12-round XL mag. It's easier to conceal that way, with less chance of printing, and you can still get a good/decent purchase on the grip (depending on your hand size). And you can carry extra 15 or 17-round mags for back-up. (Also, the Wilson Combat frame modules are certainly worth checking out.)
Shawn, think about why we have had more than 40 food processing plants burn down over the past 18 months. There is a real problem waiting to happen regarding coming food shortages.

Funny that, right?
lots of wealthy guys joke about not having any money
Normally it’s frustrating when someone doesn’t answer a question lol. But I love his enthusiasm and story telling and how he just riffs.
I’ve decided I only need three guns. A 9mm Glock 19, a 5.56mm Colt pattern AR15 and a 12 gauge shotgun (Benelli M4)
That is a solid set up right there brother

I love the banter between two really cool, knowledgeable dudes. Just a fun conversation.
What I think I enjoy most about the former acting secretary def is that he gives off this nerdy vibe when he talks about stuff he’s passionate about.

Runaway or help fix the problems. And every “operator” on here has chosen to runaway from their country’s domestic needs. I did my time, retired, healed up, then got back in the fight. Even if I can only help one family a week, it’s still helping my community. You guys are better than to hide from the civilians you don’t understand. They need your help more than ever. They need to know what core values are and the people who actually live by them.
This guy is awsome...I could listen to him all day!
My father always drilled into me " beware of the man who only has one gun. For he is surely proficient with it."
That’s a Clint Smith quote
Shoutout to all the preppers out there prepping their stuff for me, the go bags, water, food, etc. will save me a lot on time & resources 👏
On a side note, the Appalachian Mountains are a solid place to head to when SHTF
The first video I saw of Shawn's was: Vigilance Elite - Do Spec Ops Dudes EDC Carry 1 in the Pipe? I've been subscribed (and re-subscribed many times due to YT) ever since.
I like the idea of that Macro X Comp slide, on top of a 365XL grip. You can still EDC with a 17-round mag in place if that works for you (with how you're dressing for the weather or situation), or if you are worried about really not printing (for whatever reason), you can use the 12-round XL mag. It's easier to conceal that way, with less chance of printing, and you can still get a good/decent purchase on the grip (depending on your hand size). And you can carry extra 15 or 17-round mags for back-up. (Also, the Wilson Combat frame modules are certainly worth checking out.)
What model is he holding? Its so freaking hard to see on my hone screen.

Shawn, think about why we have had more than 40 food processing plants burn down over the past 18 months. There is a real problem waiting to happen regarding coming food shortages.
Every holler in WV has a creek running down it. Shawn you would fit right in, here in WV.
There was a book called State Of Fear by Michael Crichton read it it makes sense, a clever man he wrote a lot of good books made into films

I left Portland 5 years ago for Phoenix. Born and raised, I miss my city but its no longer what it used to be.
Add to that a meth pipe, coke straw, some lip stick and a token harpoon.... In this country anyway.
