Having it and not needing it, rather than needing it and not having it. That’s American home defensive thinking
😂😂😂😂😂😂WRONG
@@romanfyler3932 No, you are. I have two handguns that just come out of their safe place for proficiency training. I have a Shotgun that is more accessible but only for myself and my wife. I don't expect any trouble. but they're there.
I've only had one incident in my life where I grabbed my handgun and felt it was necessary. Neither the troublemaker nor my family knew that I was in the ready if things went south. Fortunately, law enforcement arrived in a timely manner to take care of the "problem".
I still had the "problems" head in my sights in case the threat grew (nobody's business but it was ex-boyfriend/stepdaughter crap). The law arrived and they diffused "the problem" with 4 cops and 3 tazer shots. My handgun then went back to its safe place.
That's 90% of gun interactions in the US, and most aren't as bad as what I went through. Still if "the problem" had exhibited serious intent, I was prepared.
@@romanfyler3932literally is. Unless you’re one of those pacifist home defenders. 🤦🏻♂️
@@romanfyler3932Anyone who uses Pictographs in their post, along with the word "wrong" has no argument whatsoever.
@@romanfyler3932I will give you $1000 if you put a sign that states "this is a gun free zone" in front of your house for 1 week.
The way my father explained it to me, firearms are no different than a fire extinguisher. 99.9% will never have to use one but if you do, you'll be thankful you had one.
I 100% agree!!!
Your father is a wise man
Did you father tell you that you should also have 20 fire extinguisher in the house and a couple of high pressure water cannon just in case?
@@mracer8Yes and you forgot the water balloons
"And knowing is half the battle."
Government does not give me my right to defend myself. I have a born right to defend myself.
To defend against the government
Until they take our rights meant to protect us from them. Gonna get interesting
Luke 22:36
Exactly. Everyone thinks the 2nd gives them the right. WRONG.
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 They can't "take our rights." We can only give them up.
I've lived in the U.S. all my life, I'm almost 40 years old and I've never met a single person who has had to deploy a firearm in self defense, but that could be because would-be attackers know that you could have one and decide they'd rather not get shot today.
Armed people are free people, unarmed people are subjects.
NEW ZEALAND no mo guns.
A citizen is Subject to the state.
@@dbchillin7747 not supposed to be, the state and federal government is supposed to be subject to the people they use to teach that in school before it became government indoctrination school. That's why we "choose" our "leaders" and have the ability to remove them, unfortunately people don't pay much attention to politics and can't be bothered. That's why we're in the position we're in.
I'm the same man with or without a weapon.

Well said.
Absolutely, well said!!!
Some people shouldn't own guns
@@antoniodominguez4861 a small percentage of people should not own guns
I’m not a gun owner but have fired several pistols no shotguns. I do respect guns. It comes down to education and the right mentality of gun ownership.
In my state, theres a city that has a law stating that "the head of house is required to have a firearm." They have had 2 murders in the past decade. The crime rate is roughly half the national average. If i recall correctly there is only 3 robberies per year. The sheriff said in an interview "An armed society is a polite society".
Kennesaw Georgia
I live in Kennesaw
I knew it was Kennesaw lol.
You in Georgia?
@@kevinraney2935 Yup.
The thing about guns here in the U.S. is that there are people like me and a few friends who literally own hundreds of guns, but for every 1 of us who owns hundreds of guns there are thousands of people who don't even own 1 firearm.
If someone broke into my house, then they lost their right to a fair fight.
It wasn’t that I valued my things over people. It’s that people sometimes value my things over themselves.
The only unfair fight, is the one you lose.
In Utah, the law also prevents their family from suing you.
I never fight fair 🤣🤣🤣
@@billboth6572 Really? The rest of the 'States could use more of that.
The purpose of the home defense gun is to stop a threat. Nothing more and nothing less. If that ends up in the fatality of an intruder, that was a choice they made.
Studies show that in Americans use a gun in self defense as much as a million times per year. That doesn't mean they fired it. Sometimes just presenting it to the threat scares them off.
This comment 👍
It’s like between 500k-2 million depending on the year
A firearm is the great equalizer.
@@daylonhucks5592 Exactly right, and the feds have trouble estimating those numbers because a lot of them go unreported. There are some (admittedly biased) gun advocacy groups that estimate it closer to 3 milly a year
I have never heard the million times per year. Those most often cited number is 2.5 million.
3:10
The purpose of a gun is to address whatever threat with superior or equal force. If you’re a 5’1 female who weights 105lbs…you’re not gonna stand a chance fighting hand-to-hand against a man who’s 6ft 190lbs.
It's estimated between 500k-3million cases of self defense with a firearm every year in the US. Over 80% of them the defender didn't need to fire their weapon.
That’s a blatant lie. If it’s self defense that means the person was trying to cause you bodily harm which means they were in the right to shoot them.
@@jaythemachine3845 you need to go back to school and learn reading comprehension.
@@tardogungas7236 nope. Self defense means someone is trying to hurt you which means shooting him is justifiable. What state do you live in?.
@@jaythemachine3845Read. “Self Defense” only requires that you act defensively- while this can *include* opening fire, it does not require it. In the majority of cases, the presense of a defensive arm is enough to end an engagement.
@@chriswedemann8599 yea but you don’t know if the guy has a knife or gun. Why would you risk your family’s life or your life like that?.
A couple of headlines I like to keep in mind are: "85-Year-Old Handcuffed Woman shoots Burglar" &
"Woman 8 months pregnant uses AR-15 to kill burglar after home intruders attack family"
@@harryballsak1123 Not at all more prevalent. Americans use firearms for self defense approximately 1.6 million times a year (even anti gun groups admit to a couple hundred thousand a year), which far outnumbers accidental, suicides, or murders
@@harryballsak1123that goes DIRECTLY to unsecured weapons by neglectful and ignorant parents. If you’re not going to take the steps of learning and practicing the very basics of storage? You’ve got no business buying one. Nothing wrong with ignorance. Everyone is ignorant to something until they’ve put in the time and effort into learning to become less ignorant or even proficient. A lot of people have 100% more training to drive a car and still suck. But put little to no training when purchasing a weapon. Bad bad bad combination
@@Lumpygrits76 And yet gun nuts against any kind of required training AT ALL. Most pit bull attacks are due to bad owners yet same gun nuts that wants no restrictions on guns want to ban pit bulls. Weird.
@@harryballsak1123 As far as reporting, you are correct. However, defensive shootings are rarely reported on by journalists unless something sensational also happens. In 2021 there were a reported 82 children fatally wounded by accidental gun discharge. A study in the same year reports 1.6 million uses of a gun in a defensive manor, and they were used in approximately 840,000 burglary defense situation. These two examples you provided are not even close to the same as far as frequency of occurrence. I suggest you do some research. The CDC used to report these numbers, which made it easy to see. However, due to political pressure from certain groups you now have to dig for this kind of information so it does not surprise me that you are misinformed.
@@billyfar79 trust me it's not going on all the time. Look I'm 55. I've been around. So I know grannies shooting rapists is not happening everyday. Look if I had to choose save 1 granny from being raped or prevent 10 kids from being shot to death sorry but grandma is getting raped
On July 19th, a gunman in a busy shopping mall in Indiana, was neutralized by a bystander in 15 seconds after he began shooting. Who knows how many lives he saved?
Criminals don't need a license to carry a gun.
Criminals don’t care about what the law is. So I (law abiding citizen), will have it with me to protect me and my family.
I was at that mall that day.
Well they need a permit but they don’t follow laws…
Was that Isaiah Dickens?
@@_HippieThugg_ yes I believe so. It happened in the food court. He smoked the guy with a 9mm about 35-40 yards away.
Look up the books and work by John Lott. It will answer your questions about " how often" guns are used to save people's lives. The stats are in the millions.
In my state in the US, we have 2 laws for this, Stand Your Ground Law, and the Castle Doctrine. These laws give us the ability to dispatch/eliminate any intruder/threat inside/or around our property. As well to use any weapons we deem necessary to do so. I use a AR15 with a 100rd drum, a 12ga shotgun with buckshot, and a 9mm handgun with 20rd mags.
Great comment on the laws. I wouldn't shoot a AR indoors though. Permanent hearing loss. I wouldn't want a prosecutor holding up a 100rd drum mag either. That's suppressive-fire levels of ready 😂
He made a good point that in NZ and many other places in the world "they do not want you having an advantage over the robber" I always said when some one says who needs an AR15, which fires a small round, "I want to have the odds so lopsided in my favor that the devil himself would think twice before breaking into my house"
You don't actually say that to other adults, do you? Lol
@@fortheloveofking if he does it’s cringe but it’s just being dramatic to make a point. Anyone that questions my AR I do say I want every advantage since I’m already playing defense so I’m already at a disadvantage
@@fortheloveofking in a home invasion situation the reality is you are likely to be outnumbered and they have them too.
These idiots do not understand the concept of I want to be so much of a risk to attackers that nobody is stupid enough to try.
@@MLGpromyass No, it actually it is not cringe. Espousing it is just speaks volumes about your lack of understanding and small bubble world view. In the defense of home and family such a view is more than fine.
There are many instances in America of women home alone stopping armed robbers / grapers by shooting them. Just an example of home defense.
The guns are definitely there. I'm typing this while my trusty sidearm is sitting in front of me on my coffee table.
Haha, and I’m typing this with two on my person! Just sitting chilling in our dining room.
I was parked behind our local DMV, waiting for my mom and sister to renew their drivers license.
Behind the DMV is a pawn shop where apparently crackheads hang out. I was sitting in the car with the window down when a man came walking up.
He was clearly on drugs.
He goes “hey man I got something to show you. You wanna see this knife?”
I told him “You needed to back up and walk away unless you want to see this gun”
He goes “oh fuck naw” and shuffles off.
10/10 response to that dude.
lol. 😂😂😂 classic.

British laws were designed to prevent anyone being more of a threat than the King's guards... so they disarmed the populace so they couldn't fight back against the Royal guards and that's how they kept in power and controlled the population... they didn't want the people being able to defending themselves without being dependent on the Royal guards and the Royal Army... and they didn't want the people being able to fight off the Royal guards and Royal Army if the King (or Lords in the King's name) decided to raid the people for resources or monies or even to just 'grape' the local beauty...
English common law of 1689
It has always been that simple, everywhere.
Glad im not in England lmao
on the topic of intimidation, if some a**hole knows or just "thinks" your armed... 99.999% of the time they'll leave you alone
Also, they've done interviews/studies w/ criminals, giving them scenarios like "this house has 2 people home, your casing has determined you could get around $10,000 out of a 30 minute 'load & haul' - no firearms there, this house you can easily get $100,000 out of a 15 minute 'load & haul' but they have at least 3 firearms. Which house do you hit? They pick the $10,000 - no guns house every time.
a wolf prefers sheep pastures, not bear caves
one could argue theres a 50/50 chance that they will target you first as you are a threat to them. It is one reason why many prefer concealed carry vs open carry.
@@Milner62 one can argue over anything... that being said, FAFO
50%
"You can't have an advantage over a robber,"
Tell me your government cares more about criminals than law-abiding citizens without saying it.
Any time you're forced to go against a criminal, there should absolutely be a disparity of force. They chose this, you didn't. You should give yourself EVERY possible advantage to come out on top.
I hate when people talk about spread being an advantage with a shotgun. Most homes are NOT going to have distances long enough for spread to be a factor. Unless you have a really bug house or you've illegally modified the shotgun, the difference is between a pistol making a 9mm hole & a shotgun making 50mm group of holes. There's really not much spread at 20 feet.
Most people will never need to fire a gun in self defense either inside or outside the home. But like a fire extinguisher, you hope to never need it, but if you do, it's best to have it.
I agree even though I don't personally support guns. Its a good option to have as a last resort
@@kylewhite4929 exactly, which is the general sentiment
I have a fire two blanket also. They are easier to acess in the kitchen.
@@kylewhite4929You say "(guns) is a good option to have as a last resort". That is in support of guns then, yes?
But yet you say you don't "support guns". Seems self-conflicting.
So i wonder, in what ways do you still "not support" guns then?
@@bmaxseSounds like their version of “I would never abort, but someone else can.” “I would never steal, but someone else can.” Frankly, I find it a disgustingly weak position to hold.
The MSM rarely report on good Samaritans that use a gun legally to defend a life or protect property.
Has it ever occurred to you that that's because it rarely happens? Claiming that "The MSM...." is simply declaring that you are a right wing paranoid nutter.
So true.
And it happens every day. A lot. The number is surprisingly high.
"If it bleeds, it leads" - media rule #1
just happened in texas yesterday, a bystander shot a mass shooting suspect at a get together at a car wash
Both my sons were given their first gun at age 8. It was a youth sized .22 single shot. We taught them gun safety while letting them hunt rabbits and ground squirrels around my parents farm. Both boys were very mature about the safety and did an excellent job, next gun was a 4-10 single shot where they learned how to hunt pheasant, dove and turkey, both great at that aswell. At 18 yrs old my youngest owns multiple guns including an AR and a beautiful purple heart wood AK, a 9 mm handgun, a 10 gauge shot gun, he is always going to the gun store looking at old and unique guns and enjoys the history and other countries history of all guns. The oldest son carries his .45 ACP in his car for protection and also owns 12 gauge for hunting and won a 20 .22 at an outdoors banquet when he was 15 or so. So including a few guns i own and a couple my husband owns we have quite a few guns in our house. Im more of a Knife girl so i carry a 6 inch Damascus bowie knife in my Jeep lol Oh and my oldest is a girl and while she did learn gun safety and shot guns right along side the boys she doesnt own a gun yet but she is wanting one just for protection, shes just not into them as much as her brothers lol
In more than 90% of the times a gun is used for self defense just presenting it deters the criminal.
I am an American man who was a Firearms Instructor for about 4 years. I am making this comment to address some comments made by you guys, I know it is long but if you are curious, feel free to read through it.
To address the question posed around 3:10, no, we do not use Firearms because we "need" to Kill a home intruder. In MOST circumstances regarding Home Invasions, the assailants of the Home Invasions are usually numerous AND Armed with guns of their own. Guns, at least for the good guys, can be thought of as "Force Equalizers" as in "Bad Guy brings Gun, I bring Gun." whether or not the assailant(s) Die or not is entirely their prerogative, the first step in avoiding death in that circumstance is to NOT BREAK INTO SOMEONES HOUSE. Also, no, there is no state where someone simply stepping foot on my LAND can be met with Deadly Force, deadly force can only be used in the commission of what is called a Forcible Felony, so someone trying to break down the door to gain access to my house, someone trying to carjack me, someone trying to kidnap me OR a another person, someone committing an Armed Robbery, and the list goes on an on.
To the question at 8:55 - "Peppering" someone means to hit them numerous times. Whether they die or not is a something that would be determined by each incident on its own and what type of Firearm and Ammunition was used, as well as where those shots landed. For example, I could "pepper" someone by shooting them 12 times with .22LR in the legs, they can survive because .22LR, though still a lethal round not to be taken lightly is significantly less powerful than something like a standard load of 12 gauge Buckshot.
To Address the comment at 15:15 "How often would someone have to use their gun?" There really is no easy answer to this question, but the stats show that Defensive uses of a Firearm far outweigh Offensive uses of Firearms in the United States, many incidents end without a Shot being Fired, the simple presence of a Good Guy with a gun, many times is enough to ward off Violent Criminals. Speaking from my personal experience as someone who lives in the South, I have "used" my Gun defensively against another person twice, neither times did I ever have to fire a Round and Kill somebody, bad guy saw a gun, and hit the road each time. The first time I had to "use" my Gun was when a random black truck pulled into my Rural house that is about 0.5 Miles down a Dirt road and began spamming the horn on his car (which can indicate violent or erratic behavior) so, I walked out with a Glock 19X in hand and he left pretty fast and in a hurry.
The second time, someone was trying to break into my front pasture that houses my 2 Horses in broad Daylight, that guy may (or may not) have actually gotten the gun Pointed at him, but as soon as he realized he was (allegedly) staring down the Barrel of a .45 he left quickly. Here is the kicker, I carry my gun in public everyday, never had I had to brandish or draw my Firearm in Public, and I pray to god that trend continues. The real funny part is I have drawn my Firearm on aggressive Cattle Bulls and other forms of Wildlife on my land more times than I can count, thankfully every time something like that had happened my 1,500 Lumen Strobe light has managed to take the starch out of the Animal being assaulted with it, including a 1,200+ pound Bull.
Home invasion IS a relatively common crime here in the United States, the simple truth of the matter, only the ones that go very wrong make the headlines, many times Assailants are shot and killed or shot at and retreated. If you are curious as to what Gun I carry here in the South of the United States, I carry a Glock 21 .45acp with a Streamlight TLR-1 Weapon Mounted Light, sometimes swapping the Streamlight TLR-1 for my OLight PL-PRO Valkyrie Weapon Mounted Light instead. Good video guys. And thanks for not Quarterbacking U.S. Gun Culture and calling it all inherently bad like many other Europeans do (or those overseas, I am not sure if it is right call New Zealanders European, so excuse my 'Merican ignorance 🤣) , and instead asking completely valid questions.
I Live in Baltimore, and have never jad to pull mine.. Better believe I still carry it with me, even if for a quick trip to the gas station.
I'm too young to legally own a firearm, but my mother has pulled her gun twice on people. Both in a Walgreens parking lot, both late at night, both when I was around, and both nut jobs ran away immediately. Luckily we live in a much better and more rural area of the state now.
Small correction here.
Home invasion is an extremely rare crime in America. People getting hurt during a home invasion (whether the homeowner or the invader) is even more rare at around 100 people per year.
@grizzlycmmg9578 - Perfectly stated.
Well said. NZ is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, mostly former British colonies, not European.
Add, the US is very large and diverse as you know. Rural use is very different than urban use and varies across states due to laws, crime, and culture. Car jacking for example is far more common in Southern California coast while a bear or mountain lion is going to be more of a concern in the remote mountains. It isn’t what you expect but being prepared for the worst case.
The drywall talk has less to do with material damage and more with "over penetration". If you have to shoot someone and your child's room is behind them, you don't want shot going through the wall and hitting your child.
@9:10 I think this is really important for Mrs. New Zealand to know, couldn't have said it better myself. Its one of the most important rules of shooting, which is "What am I shooting at and what's behind it?"
I figured someone had pointed this out. Know what you're shooting, and know what is behind it.
This is why I don't understand these guys recommending shot guns for home defense because unless you are using bird shot the shotgun will grossly over penetrate
@@heatheruntz5315that depends on the load you're using. Number 4 buckshot (not birdshot) can typically be stopped by 2 layers of drywall.
Know which wall your 4K television is on the other side off.
Having a firearm is like having a fire extinguisher in the house. You hope you never have to use it, but it is there if you need it.
I never thought I'd see IV8888 anywhere else on CZcams crazy I'm seeing him here
I promise you...your husband would do any means possible to protect you and your precious babies.
There are rules. Gun education is vital. Laws do vary state to state. Living in Texas we kinda love our guns. Not unusual for both man & women to carry. We also have open carry here.
Owning a gun for self defense is insurance....it only needs to happen once, so its not how often it happens but that your ready if it does happen. God willing you will never have to use a firearm other than target practice. ❤
I'm a native Texan guns are used on wildlife more than people there.
Wild hogs, coyote, rattlers etc.
Amen from a fellow Texan!
An armed society is a *polite* society.
Virginian here, can confirm.
😂 you people in Texas really think a lot of yourselves don't you. Never fail to say something along the lines of "As a Texan" or "Here in Texas" or "US Texans" 😂😂 like you are some special class of person .. 🙄
In the state of Georgia is the town of Kennesaw; they have an ordinance on the books requiring all households to have at least one firearm for protection. While the ordinance isn’t actively enforced, Kennesaw has had only one homicide since 1982
I use to live there, best policy of any place I ever lived.
All Americans should have firearms and be prepared to oppose a tyrannical government - it's an unwritten duty as an American citizen and the main purpose of the Second Amendment.
Have you ever seen the videos of the Polk County sheriff? He actively disagrees with every anti gun sentiment today. He recommends people to buy guns, and use them if they have to, he once said shooting a home intruder would actually save taxpayers money.
@@Thevoiceofsomething because it does lol. time and resources saved from the pd having to deal with these idiots.
@@Thevoiceofsomethingit does he’s the sheriff we all need same for the pinal county sheriff in AZ he’s the same way just not as public about it but it saves a lot of taxpayer money becuase we are paying money to send these people to court then send them to jail where they get free living for a bit then get released a few days later and do the same shit again
In my state, California, it’s completely legal to shot an intruder through the front (whether they live or die). As for outside the home, a family friend shot a guy who was attacking her boyfriend outside their home. He was injured but survived. He tried to sue her but the state found her well within her rights to do what she did. As for storage, if you have young children, ideally you should keep your firearms in a safe. As for me, I feel safe with a gun at hand in my home. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Gun laws vary from state to state.
American citizen here. Yes, I have multiple guns, almost entirely for hunting. None for personal defense although it is possible that I could encounter a Mt. Lion or black bear where I live. My guns are very basic. I prefer to never use a firearm for defense against crime and never have had to do so. In my state we have Castle doctrine and stand your ground, both of which mean that someone breaking into my house is at my mercy. My neighbor gave warning to a man advancing on him on open ground on his property and the. Shot that man with a muzzle loader longgun nearly killing that man. The Judge threw the case out .
Shotguns are the most versatile firearm at close range. Handguns which fire shot shells are also very good. He is spot on.
My preference is a baseball bat or hand and a half sword personally . But I’m built for this type of combat. My goal is to subdue, but I also recognize that this may lead to a lawsuit by a surviving assailant, which is a sad consideration to have to deal with. My wife would hope that an intruder would back down from her 9mm. She wouldn’t want to have to take a shot and probably wouldn’t be able to use a bat effectively.
A really good an honest channel is Colion Noir. Hes a laywer and a gun fanatic. He has all the facultial data on gun uses for defense, etc over the years
60% talking about the subject and 40% trying to sell you something, he's 100% truthful but he rubs me wrong.
@@mortem-tyrannis he needs to make money, and the stuff he's trying to sell us is good quality and useful.
@@stuart4341 I'm all for capitalism don't get me wrong, he just comes off as a salesman rather than a gun guy. Like his shirts for some reason just aggravates me.
That front door was locked for your protection, not mine. Do not enter my house.
This video was wild right off the bat, yall expecting to just see everyone carrying guns everywhere is hilarious
Latest statistic I've heard was 1.6 million defensive firearm uses per year. Most did not require discharge of the weapon. I carried for over 20 years and I've never had anyone notice. Or if they did, they ignored it.
I had a lot of guns but unfortunately I lost every gun I owned in a tragic boating accident
I'm so sorry, man. I've heard that happens often.😏
😂
I'm sorry man that sucks ;)
So sorry for your loss
It happens more than you think ... 😊
I'm a retired police officer, off-duty I dress like I'm homeless but when I was younger for some reason about 6 separate times I spotted people looking at me like a predator to its prey and sure enough they approached me to rob me but as an officer I had my firearm ready. This happened in poor areas and wealthy areas in South Florida. Since I had the jump and aware of my surroundings I never had to fire. I did have an on duty call of a robbery of a Subway sandwich shop, the robbers grabbed an older fellow that was just trying to eat not knowing he was in the military and was part of the President's security team at one point, He faked a heart attack dropped his wallet and as the robber lowered to get the wallet. The man put a round through the robber's eye and then put three rounds into the second armed robber. We interviewed him and watched the surveillance video and drove him home. All murders go through a grand jury here, to determine if it was justified or not. His shooting was deemed justified and no further action happened.
Was he called John Wick?
I was in Chicago and someone opened my car door when I was at a red light. Luckily I closed my door and was able to lock it. Moments later I see a couple of the doors open and they are walking over with metal pipes. I was visiting a friend and was on a college campus before so I had my .40 locked in my glove box, I bend over to grab it, they saw me leaning over and going into my glove box, they ran back into their car and drove off...
I am a retired Police Officer and have never been forced to shot anyone. I do carry concealed often but haven’t had need for its use. As I’ve always said, it is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have one!
My feelings on the 2nd amendment are to keep the government from becoming a dictatorship. Any situation in history where countries plummeted into a nightmare the government had all the power. Not the people. Horrible idea to allow a government free reign over my rights to defend my own life.
You do realize the US military is far better than some wannabe Dirty Harrys. Oh and they also have drones.

If you're concerned about America becoming a dictatorship, you need to review Project 2025, which trump intends to implement if he regains the white house to become our first dictator.
One way to think about this is, when you call 911 here in the states you and your family will have to wait in the best case 3 to 5 mins for someone to show up. Just sit in your house and do nothing for that time, think about what somebody could do in your house. Now you have a firearm and can stop that person from hurting your family. This is why we have guns in our house.
The alarm went off in my home and it took the deputy 23 minutes to arrive on seen
3 to 5 minutes...maybe in the 90's. Nowadays you're lucky if they even arrive within the hour. When you only have seconds, the police are minutes away
Here in Dallas the police aren’t even coming unless someone’s been shot. If they do come it would be an hour after someone attempted to enter your home. Hell even the 911 operators here are rude
Law enforcement in so many towns is pretty much non existent now, I live in a city of roughly 59k ppl and they've cut so many people from the department because of lack of funds. When I had to make a call to them it took nearly 30 mins for help to arrive, even worse is the county over is a smaller town where my family lives.. just this week over 60 residences were hit in a mass burglary spree, the town Police didn't show up till the next day even when dispatched had been called..why because there's only one city officer, and for the sheriff's department there's only 3 on the road for the whole county of 538 square miles.. So yeah you really can't depend on them in an emergency when seconds matter.
There are some states that assume that anybody that breaks into your occupied house, particularly at night, puts you at risk of death or significant bodily harm. That's (usually) the standard for the use of deadly force. The point is NOT to kill, but to neutralize the threat. If they see you and immediately give up, or run away, they are no longer s threat, and you can't legally shoot.
You are responsible for every round you fire, so overpenetration is a problem as it increases the risk of hitting somebody you don't intend to shoot.
Tho relevant quotes:
"When seconds count, the police are only minutes away"
"After a gunfight I never heard anybody say that they wished they had less ammo"
15:22 in The USA, there were 1.6 milllion defensive uses of firearms, 75% of which no round was fired. So not that often, but often enough you don’t want to take the risk

Per the FBI, the overwhelming majority of defensive shootings consist of three rounds fired within 3 yards. If you can’t hit a target at 9 feet with a handgun you shouldn’t have any guns.
One of the biggest misnomers as well as straw man arguments is that people don't need guns for home defense BECAUSE most break-ins are not done by someone with a gun.
The problem of course with this is that MOST people are not strong and aggressive minded enough to go toe to toe with an individual who is obviously aggressive enough to break into your home to either rob you, rape you, or inflict bodily harm to you.
Guns are the great equalizer for everyone in home defense. It acts as intimidation for those breaking in without a firearm, it allows you to keep distance from an aggressor, and finally it allows a 90 pound woman/man/child to be able to defend themselves against a 200 or more pound man/woman/teenager.
One can NEVER know the mindset of someone breaking into your property. They could be unstable due to mental illness or drugs, they could be vengeful for any number of reasons no one knows about, or they could simply be hungry and desperate to try to steal a few valuable things and then run away.
Either way, a person being broken into has NO IDEA what they are facing, and the gun in a PROPERLY TRAINED person's hands more often than not ELIMINATES bad outcomes for victims of a crime.
I agree with this, generally, and I'm not saying you're wrong but I haven't personally heard that argument before. If someone's breaking in I'm assuming they are midi and armed
In Tennessee approximately 51% of the population over 21 has a firearm.
Think like a criminal - if 51% of the population has a firearm then breaking into a house means that 51% of the houses have a firearm.
That makes them think twice about breaking into a home.
Ahhh the beauty of America. We have the right to defend ourselves, our family, and our property. Gotta love it! 🇺🇸
Not only against intruders but a corrupt government.
I have owned guns my whole life. I have carried for 40 plus years. I have presented a weapon only twice in self defense and only fired once. Statistics show that in the vast majority of incidents the mere presentation of the weapon is sufficient. Training and mindset are key.
I’ve carried for ten years. Pulled once without shooting because my life was literally in danger. I was charged with second degree misdemeanor assault by physical menace. Maximum penalty of two years in prison. That means NO guns for the rest of my life if convicted. $3500 in lawyer fees and court costs later and a guilty plea to a summary offense of disorderly conduct later, I’ll never carry a fucking gun again. You’ll live but you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison unless you have the whole fucking encounter on video outside of your fucking house. After the guilty plea the judge even knew it was a fucking joke and fined me the absolute minimum of $25. 👎

In one study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), they found that there are between 500,000 and 3,000,000 uses of firearms a year for defensive purposes and many of those are just showing the firearm.
There have been cases in California where a homeowner with a LEGALLY purchased handgun was arrested for shooting an invader. Something else to understand in the U.S. is that the courts have ruled that the police DON'T have a Constitutional duty to protect people, for that reason many 2A/Gun Rights Activists push for law-abiding citizens to get some sort of home/personal firearm for protection. As we say here "When seconds count the police are minutes away!"
Your numbers are correct for the CDC. The FBI’s number was around 2.5 million. I go with it because it falls within the realm of the CDC’s numbers. At 2.5 million per year. Thats 6,847 per day. Yet we hear about none. Ever. Public opinion much?
So I’m a former cop, went to the fire department and was an arson investigator. I was armed and still carry in retirement, in 37 years I have pulled my weapon twice. Both times on dangerous dogs, both times I got the dog to walk off, and I never fired. Things are different here. Yard, no, but inside your home, your “castle”, yes, you can fire. Some states are also “stand your ground”. You have no duty to retreat and can defend yourself. And yes, some places are fine, and some have gunplay every day. I live just outside Detroit, so…… I do need a gun.
No one has broken into my house. My house has never caught on fire. I have two self defense firearms, and two fire extinguishers
There are parts in America where some people would kill you and not think twice if they intend to rob you or assault you. It is a deterrent to becoming a victim.
In the early 2000s, I was living in Colorado. Denver had a sudden series of random beatings on the streets, which went on for a week. The police suspected it was some sort of gang initiation. One day, the Chief of Police had a televised press conference and reminded the public that Colorado had concealed carry permits (for guns), people are allowed to use them for self defense and it was only a matter of time before the people committing these random beatings would find that out the hard way. The beatings stopped that day.

What a fun video! American here. Fascinated to hear your questions about us. Wish I could help. Anybody over here would love to take you to the range and give you the insights you desire, including my wife and I, just ask. South Bend, Indiana. One thing: the key to home defense is shooting a gun you shoot really well because you love to shoot it. You get that way by playing games with it , with your friends, at local clubs. Lots of use in competition makes you headless of noise and recoil eventually. And sure, we carry them often, not necessarily because we have to for pressing fear, but because it’s the unassailable, and defining right of an American. We learned to cherish it from the Brits in a most disagreeable and unforgettable way. Come visit, you look like great people.
My Wife and I carry our guns everywhere. We sleep with handguns in holsters mounted to our nightstands and long guns just feet away at any time....BUT We never expect to have to use them. We do live remotely so odds are we would need to use them to scare a bear before needing them for a bad guy. Love the channel. Thanks for the content!!
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
It's like carrying an umbrella. You don't carry an umbrella because your afraid of the weather. You carry an umbrella as preparation for bad weather. You want sunny days, but rain is always possible.
You guys were discussing the context under which guns are used in the first half of the video. Guns in most places are always considered lethal force. This means you only employ them when your intent is to destroy the threat completely (ie kill). The legal settings in which you can employ lethal force are typically when you or someone else is at risk of death, grievous bodily harm, and/or rape. You cannot point guns at people without the intent to use them that's brandishing and terroristic threats. You can't use lethal force with the intent of being non-lethal. That's why cops don't shoot to wound either. Because it's lethal force and the situation must call for lethality in order to justify their use.
Now as far as home defense some states have what's called castle doctrine in their laws. The premise is if an invader is attacking your castle (your home) you can assume their also willing to hurt or kill the people inside and employ lethal force against them.
I live in a state that has Castle Doctrine which means you are the king of your castle and you can use lethal force if someone invades your home.
Same here. We have very few home invasions.
In Colorado, it was called the "make my day law." lol.
So, in New Zealand the laws support the criminals, not the law abiding citizen. Interesting.... and pitiful.

In the US, arms are used half a million to well over 3 million times per year to defend life. Far more than the aprox 12k times a year used the wrong way.
Me: Wakes up in America with a gun in every room.
The rest of the world: Can you believe the home of the free is allowed to contain guns?!
Lol. LMAO.
The most extensive study on the subject found that firearms are used over 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances. There were 1.23 million violent crimes reported to the FBI in 2022. There are roughly 334 million people in the U.S. so it is highly unlikely you will need to use a firearm and violent crime over all has been going down for years. The issue is though if you need it and dont have it there is no substitute. Kind of like needing a fire extinguisher and not having it.
One thing a lot of urban and foreign folks do not understand is that for rural Americans, it can take 30 min to 1 hour for any kind of police response. So if someone is breaking into your house in the middle of the night, you need to be your own protector. You can (and should) call 911, but by the time they get to you, it's too late.
I used to live in a rougher part of town. I've had to draw my gun twice; I never shot my gun. First time was a road rage situation, I was blocked in by two cars, one man came out with a wooden bat. They saw my gun, they got back in the car and left. The second time I was walking my dog, man tried to rob me with a gun. It ended up being a pellet gun, when I pulled my gun out the man just backed away and left. This all happened in Kansas City, Kansas.
There are, per the government, 2.5 to 5 MILLION defensive gun events Every year in the USA. The vast majority of which the gun is never fired. The mere introduction of a firearm is enough to stop the threat.
twice, before i was ten, my home was broke into. we didn't have guns. or ever. but when you come home to a broken door and your dad tells your mom take the kids and go... i remember watching from the car, just past our driveway as my dad chased the guy out of the front of the house into the street, and held him there till the police got there. face down. my dad was like "rocky" from the movies. he used to wake us up saturday mornings to the "rocky" sound track, and we'd get up and run and jump around so the record would start skipping, and the volume was on max. what more could a kid from the 80's could want?
When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
Or, in some cases, Hours...
Stand your ground laws and Castle Doctrine are what you want to look up for home defense.
Howdy from Temple, Texas, USA! We have no-permit concealed carry in Texas. I've carried a pistol for damnear half a century, and have NEVER had to draw it.
Since 2020, America has seen an increase in violent crime. During the pandemic there was a surge in new gun ownership. People just want to be safe and protect their families, and if no one else is gonna help you, then you have to take the responsibility.
Ots not the police's job to protect individual citizens from criminal activity. The SCOTUS has ruled on that MANY MANY MANY times.
Pandemic or not have your gun ready.
I wish I had recorded it but during the LA riots a business owner was calling for help because they were breaking in and the dispatch was sorting police response by who was armed and telling the people how long it would be.
Every state has their own laws about self-defense. Some states have "castle doctrines" which basically say that your home is your castle and you can defend it as you see fit. Some states favor criminals and self-defense is scrutinized to the most intricate detail. The laws vary from state to state and even town to town on what is allowed, what type of gun you can own, what type of ammo, how much ammo it can hold, etc. The 2nd Amendment to our constitution was put in place primarily due to the attempt of the British to disarm Americans during the Revolutionary War and the forefathers of America saw there needed to be a way to preserve the right of the people to arm themselves against a tyrannical government. Its not really about SELF defense, but more about NATIONAL defense. Self defense is just a byproduct of the right itself.
ALL 50 states have castle doctrine. You are probably referring to Stand Your Ground, which extends Castle Doctrine to public places.
The liberal quote is this “How could you value your things over a human life.”
The response is this “I refuse the responsibility of discerning why a person is in my home uninvited and unannounced. Secondly, the individual valued something in my home more than their own life. They chose….poorly.”
The United States government has estimated that anywhere between 500,000 and a 3 million life-threatening attacks have been averted on a yearly basis due to the victim having a firearm.
I was 15 when my father had remarried, and his new wife's ex-husband came to the farm, and I was home alone. He started screaming at the house for dad and Judy to come out and after a couple of minutes he started shooting at the house, I was in my bedroom when bullets came crashing through the walls I rolled off my bed and grabbed my 30-30 that I kept under the bed ( not as some kinda tactical thing, just a storage area) i managed to get to the window as he was reloading and fired 3 quick shots at his truck, which he was hiding behind this was enough to scare him off and it gave me enough time to jump on my crappie little dirt bike and run to town and call the county sherif. I forgot to mention that we didn't have a telephone at the time.
Then when I was in the Navy I lived in one of the worst neighborhoods in Norfolk, Virginia where I had two incidents where someone kicked in the front door of my apartment in the middle of the night both times they were met buy my shotgun but neither time did I have to shoot they turn around and ran straight out with one of those incidences the cops were able to catch him a couple of blocks over the other one I have no idea who the guy was or why he was there
The last incident occurred about 10 years ago I now live in a small community out in the country and I work for the county I had gone to the bank to make change for the woman running the scales at the landfill when someone walked up to my car and tried to rob me in the parking lot of the bank I saw the guy coming he didn't look right so I pulled out my pistol and set it in my lap and when he came up to the door I showed it to him and immediately ran off I called one of the county sheriff's that I know and he was only a mile or so away and was able to find the guy bringing back to ask me if this was the right guy and I was like yeah this is him and he arrested him and the guys doing like did like 5 years for attempted robbery so yeah sometimes you really do need a gun I mean it's not a matter of if you live in the city or anything like that cuz the first incident and the last incident were out in the country in the middle of nowhere cuz you know what they say people are going to people
95% will never be in home defense situation. But the 5% that are, want to be safe.
I would say the main purpose of a firearm is deterrence. Where I live, the first line of defense isn’t seeing the gun. It’s knowing that, if you break into someone’s house and there are people inside (whether you know it or not), they’re allowed to assume you’ve broken in to subject them to serious bodily injury (or worse) and, therefore, are allowed to use deadly force against you the moment you break in.
There is a lot of talk about defensive gun uses going unreported, especially when the crime is stopped without a shot being fired. There could be even more crimes that are nipped in the bud simply because someone who might choose to commit a crime doesn’t want to risk being shot. If they know the people in an area have the tools and legal capacity to fight back, they’ve got some serious motivation to choose a different location or activity.

There’s a law in most states called the Castle Doctrine. That comes from a man’s home is his castle.
You should read the book “More Guns; Less Crime”. It was written by a professor who did an indepth study on gun ownership and its correlation to violent crime. He was shocked to find the opposite of what he expected. The higher the gun ownership rate, the less violent crime exist in that area. Also I. The town of Kennesaw, Georgia they had a very high rate of home invasion so they passed a law that every house had to own a gun and ammo for it. The home invasion rate dropped 89%.
Bogus study, cooked statistics from the 80s when the town was small. My link did not post. Google this if you are buying into it. Crime rates all across Georgia fell, not just in Kennesaw. Nobody paid attention to that law, it was not enforced, and had zero real effect. The results are misleading.
Guns are like insurance, you hope you never have to use it, but if you do it's good to have.
There's a saying here in the states that rings quite true. "It's better to have and not need it ,than need it and not have it"
I was in the U.S. Army Infantry, obviously being in the Infantry I have lots of weapons training and to shoot accurately. We were trained to shoot center mass, so the chest and stomach area, parts of the body where the person will most likely die. People with not much weapons training I would definitely tell them to shoot center mass because if someone breaks in, your adrenaline and nerves will be kicking in. I had hundreds, if not thousands of hours of training using weapons (guns) and all that training and fundamentals of marksmanship went right out the window when that first round flew by my head in Iraq.
I have lived in the US my entire life in at least a dozen different towns in multiple states. I have never heard a gun fired in anger. Even though there's more guns than Americans in this country, and the media has 24/7 wall to wall coverage of American gun violence, being the victim of violence is very rare in most places.
Same here. Although I’m only 16 I’ve never once heard a gunshot in person. Gun violence is not rampant. Just because the rare few do bad things with guns doesn’t mean law abiding citizens rights should be restricted in any manner. We just aren’t tough enough on crime and don’t focus enough on poverty or mental health. Most gun violence only happens in specific cities of which most are very tight on gun control.
Remove the gun crime numbers from about six democrat cities and the USA is one of the safest countries on the planet…..
It happens in road rages
Relatively, it's quite high.
Remember to be careful with anecdotal evidence. My personal experience, we have CDS here, and I have heard multiple gunshots some consisting of 50+ shots fired. A teen had been shot and succumbed to their wounds.
I'm a 62 year old native Texan. I have owned guns my entire life since childhood. I keep a .12 ga Winchester Defender stashed and loaded.
I have never had anyone break into my house while I was home and have never fired one at a person threatening me. I'm just stating facts without making any judgements.
I have never had to use my guns for defense and hope I never have to.

There's also a lot of home owners who have a gun for protection but not to use against other people. We still have a lot of small towns and rural areas across the nation that have a high chance of unwanted wildlife interactions that can turn deadly fast. Plus in those same areas it is extremely common to own guns for hunting with many deer hunters using their meat all year to feed their families.
Self defense is a human right 🇺🇸
I carry concealed every day for myself and other innocent people. Been training for 17 years, carrying daily since 2020. We only use firearms to defend against serious bodily injury or death. A home defense plan protects against home invasions/burglars.
Thank you sir for exercising your rights as an American!
1) Police do not prevent crime. They show up when it's over and investigate. You are the first line of defense for your family.
2)While it is unlikely that you will ever need to use a gun to defend your family... it is also unlikely that you'll need a fire extinguisher... but it's a good idea to have both and know how to use both, because if you need it, you NEED IT.
3) Any weapon is basically a mind-changer. Whether it's an animal or a person threatening you with harm, the object is to change their mind about continuing the attack. However, you need to have the mindset that you will do what is necessary. I don't want to harm you, but if you make me, I will.
4) You cannot just shoot someone for being on your property. You have to be in fear of injury or death. It's not just the criminal justice system you need to worry about, there's a civil lawsuit risk for wrongful death as well.
If carrying a gun saves you or your family 1 time in your life ? Totally worth it ? Yes.. Absolutely..
As a lifelong Texan, I’m a little embarrassed that I only own 3 of those five guns. Of course between my wife’s 3 guns and the other guns that are secured strategically around the house it’s probably not a good idea to kick my door in.
We are proud that we still have the right to protect ourselves and our loved ones whether it’s with a concealed carry gun on your person when in public or a home defense situation. One thing that I truly believe is that if you are not sure that you will be able to use that firearm against another human being, you are better off not having the gun at all.
I like your channel folks. Cheers from Texas.🇨🇱🤘🏻😎
