    ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes, this channel is created and managed by Hickok45 and John, mainly John. The video clips on this channel are segments of videos taken from videos originally posted on the Hickok45 CZcams channel. John always includes a link to the original video from which the clip is taken.
    Hickok45 videos are filmed on my own private shooting range and property by trained professionals for educational and entertainment purposes only, with emphasis on firearms safety and responsible gun ownership. We are NOT in the business of selling firearms or performing modifications on them. Do not attempt to copy at home anything you see in our videos. Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.

    You can follow the link in the description to the five-year-old video John took this clip from. It's an old "Shooting the Breeze" video, where I'd just yak about stuff. And by the way, we're used to troll stuff and expect it. It's a sign that you're doing something worthwhile, generally.

      Often comments are just that.. comments . Why people feel they are being disrespected is beyond me ! Often people tell me people show disrespect towards me. I listen...... try to understand all points of view...and if it directly pertains to me.... I attempt to do whats needed to change. If not I smile and move on !

      There is a big difference between disrespectful comments and comments with an argument the other person emotionally finds offensive.
      The first type is simply anti-social, left by crass people.
      Anyone offended by the second type is probably one of your crass people who is anti-social.

      We created a bunch of weak men since the 90s and they are now in charge, by the numbers, when voting. It will take a prolonged rough time for strong men to grow out of this mess, and to take over again, likely by force. The really bad times are yet to come.

All of the news cameras were at eye level or lower with no oriel shots. The news that night made that small group of people to look as if there were hundreds of people demonstrating.

    Hi Hickok ,45. I'm A Vietnam Vet, I watch your series often. I.ve been shooting pistol for over 69 years, and reloading for over 50 years. As far as I can see or read from your presentations, you're doing great. I have three sons, six grand sons, two grand daughters, and so far ten great grand children, My sons (who are now in their 50;s) have been shooting since age six. The grand kids, including the grand daughters are all good shots, safe, accurate, and range polite. Keep doing your presentations, no negative comments from me or my family. P.S. You're younger than me but I consider you a contemporary.

      When you say stupidity over the internet well, I would add total ignorance to that in many videos made and the idiots who make the comments also.
      As an Alaskan since 1989 and my only source of income comes from guiding Brown bear and Yukon moose hunts the raging fad to make f cked up videos about going to Alaska to hunt brown bears with weak home defense handguns that at very most can only muster up 3/4 the power of a 30-30 and no one thinks of the 30-30 as an Alaskan dangerous bear gun.
      2 of the top liars pushing hunting in Alaska with handguns are both woke - gay and married freaks living in Seattle Washington but claiming to live in Alaska and they are Chukes outdoors and his woke gay lover Chuck of Alaskan ballistics both these queers push the lie that all Alaskans and bear hunting guides use 10 mm handguns for all bear hunting.
      So, all of this BS is then spread through the most stupid and ignorant fools who think all this BS is true.

    Mr. Hickock, I'm from Mexico, 41 years old, have been watching your videos for the past year, and have greatly enjoyed your reviews, opinions, tips, and humor. Know that there are many that value and respect your work on educating and promoting good use of firearms, and the enjoyment of shooting in general. The vocal minority that resorts to slander and personal attacks will always be loud, and most often than not they are misguided and usually maliciously guided by either other people with an agenda, or worse, social trends in vogue and constant fluctuation.
    You summarize modern social media quite rightly. I am just here to wish you the best, and show that there's also many people that support and appreciate your work, time and dedication. So there! Best regards and will always keep looking forward for more of your content.

He initiated a conversation, and started telling me about all of the good spots in the neighborhood. He was all of 13 years old at the time. He was one of the most wholesome kids I have ever met in my life, and I found out soon after that his parents wouldn't allow him on social media, nor would they allow him to roam the internet unsupervised.

    There used to be a gimmick on TV, in the 80s and 90s, where they'd gauge the volume of the audience's cheering to determine who would win a competition. It was like "raising hands" but depended on noise. That's how I see the internet. It's just about how loud/obnoxious you can be to "win."

    Thank you for your video and insight. Today's topic reminds me of two different things I've heard:
    1. Empty barrels make the most noise;
    2. Beware of idiots in large groups.

      I had a teacher once, tenth grade I believe, who had the best response. The kids were being loud and obnoxious and she told them to quiet down. One kid said, "Yeah but it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease." The teacher, without missing a beat responded, "Yeah but it's the empty wagon that makes all the noise."
      That was around 1977 or so. Now, the teacher would probably have to attend sensitivity training for that

      @@billycox475 My History teacher in the 10 grade. I will bounce you otta here.
      Miss Lively would not say a thing. Just grab the board of education off the wall. Walk across the hall for the history teacher.
      The history teacher paid his way through college by professional boxing.
      That was in the early 60s in Chattanooga.
      I usually was reading yesterdays homework for the next class and listening with the other ear.
      The teacher in English asked me a question because I was not looking at the board.
      I answered without looking up.
      She grabbed me by the ear and put me out of the class and off to the Vice Principle's office we went.
      There was steam coming out of her ears, when I started laughing because the VP was not there.
      All that was OK. It prepared me for the draft and basic training.

    Working with the public I've had a handful of men, in real life, threaten to fight me. So far (who knows) I always say, "yes, please." I've literally had guys run away from me while still calling me wimp or equivalent. The world has gone very very weak and stupid. Not once in 30 years of adult life has a bully ever manned up to me after I accepted the challenge. I'm not tough and I'm not any kind of fighter. I just know that if someone is on that tactic from the go, they've already lost and I have nothing to fear. Never look for trouble, there's always someone more ruthless, angry, crazy, strong, faster thinking, cunning etc. You may just find them. :)

    We, as a society put way too much credence in what the few say, They are the ones screaming the loudest about their rights. They are the ones protesting everything. The media buys into this behavior, much of which is borderline insane. Just ignore these people and keep your powder dry ! Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Hickok.
