    Mike has always been my favorite channel, from filling my first eform1 to field stripping my first gun for cleaning he’s also seemed like a honest straightforward guy. Appreciate it and CF has been making excellent content/podcasts too. 🇺🇸

    I love Mike for one particular reason over all the other reasons to love the guy. He refuses to compromise on his principles. There is no "I believe in the second amendment...but..." I'm tired of that crap from "gun guys" and "second amendment groups and "advocates." Imagine what the garbage NRA would be like if it were filled with people like him on all levels. I'd be an instant lifetime member.
    His demeanor is great. I don't want to follow roid rage bro vet that's just as emotional as the people they talk trash about. I want someone that is cool and collected and capable of critical thinking. The country would be a whole lot better if we had more people like him.

    Hello Clint, Mike, and Kya, Thanks to all of you for your service. I appreciate your honest discussion regarding the struggle of LEOs in a seemingly lose/lose carrier where you struggle daily to uphold the Constitution at the risk of your own job, life and family sometimes.
    I just wanted to clear a few things up.
    First of all, it was great to meet you at the NRA Annual Meeting in Houston last year Clint and we all miss Kaydi. wish her the best in her new position as 2A advocate.
    Second, about ten years ago the NRA Instructor program went through a major revamp because it was pretty much a joke in the firearms training community. However, today it is equal to the best. I just got my Pistol Instructor and Range Safety Officer certifications this year. The NRA offers several levels of training certification from basic pistol to CCW and Self-Defence and requires that their instructors retrain to renew their certifications every two years. My training over the years has included classes from Greg Block of Self-Defense Firearms Training, who is P.O.S.T. certified and trains police and military as well as the public. He is one of the primer CCW instructors in Southern California. My training under him has included rifle, pistol, and shotgun at the range, in the classroom and on the simulator. I have also trained at Front Site in Nevada (now Prairie Fire) and the Revolutionary War Veteran's Association's Project Appleseed. I also, completed the California DOJ BSIS security guard Powers to Arrest and Firearms Permit training programs. My point is this, with all the varied training I have had over the years I can say, from first hand experience, that the NRA trainer certification program now in place and being taught is top notch.
    To your comment Clint about becoming an NRA pistol instructor just to have the certificate; the NRA Instructor Program clearly discourages that kind of attitude in their instructor candidates and stresses the importance of looking and acting in a professional manner. (e.g. no flipflops and tank tops.)
    Always enjoy hearing what you and your guests have to say, even when they sometimes get one or two things little wrong. Great Job, Clint explaining the importance being an informed voter. Lots of great content always. I would suggest another version of Mike's shirt, "Always Torching Freedom."
    Thanks

    I'll add my input on the every Marine is a rifleman thing as a POG. I don't know if I come to the definition of rifleman yet, but, I saw what the Marines taught me as a foundation, that NEEDED to be built upon should I ever need to to rely on those skills to survive. I studied outside duty hours, trained outside duty hours and range, still took the range as often as they let me, and have studied ballistics and built my own rifles for myself. I feel EVERY Marine should take it up on themselves to become an individual with a more complete knowledge of what a rifle is, how it works, when and how to use it. But that's my thoughts.

  • @craykard8325
    @craykard8325 Před rokem

    So glad they said this about people in the services - Military and LEO. Just because you are in doesn't mean you pull the trigger all the time. I was Infantry for 10 years. I fired more rounds down range then I did in the whole of garrison. I often had to find excuses to link up with units going out. And I would often use my own money to go to private training in the civilian sector and I learned far more there. You always keep learning. Love the officer story, because I remember a LT who did a ND inside an Arms Room in Iraq - guess what, he still got a Bronze at the close of the deployment.

    In my police academy 3 years ago we fired approximately 1500 rounds from pistols, 1000 rifle and 250 shotgun. My PD does annual quals of 25 rounds. I train much more. I write a ton of reports. I want to make sure that I'm proficient with my tool that can be used to defend others and myself with.
    But yes, most of the officers I work with barely know the gun on their hip. They are great guys that I can count on, but they are not gun people.

      Hey man, Kaya here from the Podcast, I just wanted to throw this your way real quick: Make sure to not use the word “kill” and say you make sure the tool you have can stop a threat. Defense would use the word “kill” against you as if you meant to kill, rather than trying to stop a thread. We in LE never intend to kill, we always intend to stop threats. 🫡

    Speaking of favorite guns, I have 3 favorite guns in particular; the FN Minimi, which is the go-to gun for engaging a war skirmish and my favorite version is the original 1982 version with the FNC style buttstock and the bare long barrel, and it’s the version made famous by the Bravo 2-0 SAS in the Gulf War. Next is the Dragunov SVD, which is the go-to gun for collection purposes because of being a semi-auto sniper from the ground up and having the unique PSO1 scope with a simple to use fancy reticle and the Dragunov SVD itself being one of the coolest guns in the world. And lastly the Colt M1911, which is my only go-to favorite pistol because of being a beautiful looking pistol. My favorite M1911 version is the Colt Defender M1911 in 9 mm because the light colored stainless steel makes the pistol look super cute thus it’s the baby gun for me. And I prefer the 9 mm cartridge because of being readily available and lighter recoil. And that’s the overview of my 3 favorite guns.

    I love how an "over pressurized" SLAP round is blamed for the catastrophic explosion, but it clearly states: "Saboted 50 BMG ammunition should not be used in firearms with muzzle brakes unless the muzzle brake has been specifically designed for such use." Build up from the polymer sleeve will eventually act as a plug in the barrel. Not getting this info out there will only lead to future accidents from others using these rounds in braked barrels. I hope it's just ignorance of these facts that this info isn't being spread about the dangers of SLAP rounds (I'm not perfect either and make mistakes) and not his ego.
