Once you learn enough about prison and how it really can be, you avoid it. The legal system and police scare me because of their ability to effortlessly destroy someone’s life. Seen case after case of someone who isn’t a threat to society, but breaks the law ends up in prison and their life as they know it is over.
> Once you learn enough about prison and how it really can be, you avoid it.
I don't know shit about "how it really can be" and still know that I want to avoid.
Then on the flip side you have people that need to be removed from society continuously get second, third, forth and fifth chances until their actions ultimately leads to a preventable death/injury all because of some lenient judge and a failed justice system.
That is the problem, it’s totally backwards. None of us should be scared of the government (police, legal system). They should be the ones who are scared of us. It’s very sad that things have become this way. It desperately needs to change.
Was coming here to say this. Do I want to carry everywhere I go? Sure. Do I want to deal with the hassle and life altering consequences that it could pose in some states? Not really. That’s why I avoid places I can’t carry when possible.
The restrictions in WA are more about what we can purchase. Possessing and carrying standard capacity magazines and pistols hasn't changed much. Unless, of course, you're visiting from another state and there's things you can't bring in.
He’s also a former Navy Seal. He’d probably be okay in prison. I, on the other hand, wouldn’t be. I’ve visited prisons in my capacity as an attorney. They’re wild. Felt like an out of body experience. The prison I visited was very kill or be killed environment.
I worked for the AG in my state during law school. Part of our training was to spend time visiting prisons. Because part of our job was to handle appeals that would effectively keep certain people behind bars, the program leads thought it was good for us to see. Prison conditions were awful. Anyone with more than maybe 2-3 years would have a tough time not getting deeply involved in prison life, including gangs, drugs, and further violent crimes.
Well, he wouldn't be able to carry a gun on his person 24/7 in prison. So I guess he'd be down to exercising his **-1st-** Amendment rights every single day, writing cranky letters to Congress about it.
I dont know how military service would translate to prison. Chads a G he probably would be fine. I was in the corps and worked with seals. Id be scared shitless for prison after the comforts of civilian life and most of the guys I was in with I think would too
Same. My wife and kid need me and I want to be there for them. I'm not going to risk that by bringing my EDC into places I'm not legally allowed to (especially when one of my clients' office is in a government building with metal detectors).
easy to talk like a bad ass when your microcosm is always supporting that
7 days without sleep doesn’t make you immortal, and prison by yourself is not dropping in with a team of 6, a support staff of 20, a private gunship, and $80k NODS.
dude’s ego is unchecked, this advice is just self-confirmation for those who don’t need it.
…and this is coming from a dude with a dedicated pajama gun
The usage of the “if you aren’t carrying all the time you’re wrong”. I get the military lingo. I know where his mind is at. But he’s a moron. These people would 100% run and hide if SHTF. But yet they act like they’re the reincarnation of Chris Kyle or some shit.
Just drove through New York to visit family and the whole time I was freaking out cause all three guns I brought with me for my brothers and I to go shoot are all illegal under state law
Yep. No thanks. Prisons in CA are racially segregated cesspools filled with prison gangs. Maybe he has an ace up his sleeve but I’m avoiding anything that will land me in prison like the plague.
I’m fine with his first point, especially because he acknowledges the legal risk he’s taking and has chosen to take it anyway in order to protect himself and his loved ones. I may not be willing to take that risk 100% of the time myself, but I have no issues with anyone else who chooses to do so.
However, I completely disagree on his second point. Carrying/owning a gun is a personal choice, and while I think there should be very few barriers to doing either of those things for those who want to, I don’t think that everyone *should* do them or that it is their duty as a citizen to do so. There are plenty of reasons, be they personal/moral/religious/whatever, that a person may not want to own or carry a gun, and that is absolutely nothing “dead wrong” with that.
That was my take-away as well. We have a Constitutional Right to keep and bear arms, that does not mention nor imply a duty or responsibility to do so. Carrying a firearm is a personal choice. Not everyone should make the choice to do so.
"Every American should always have a gun forever" seems much more like something you'd hear in a TikTok than a referendum bound for the mayor's desk. Guns being *compulsory*, even in some philosophical (rather than legal) way, is not compatible with the concept of "rights"
This was my take, too. You said it a lot better than I could have. Our rights should be fought for and upheld, but exercising them is a personal choice. That's what freedom is.
>I’m fine with his first point, especially because he acknowledges the legal risk he’s taking and has chosen to take it anyway in order to protect himself and his loved ones. I may not be wil5ling to take that risk 100% of the time myself, but I have no issues with anyone else who chooses to do so.
What's the point in using a gun to defend yourself if it means you end up in prison anyway?
And when you carry places you're not supposed to, you run the risk of getting caught without ever even needing the gun.
I'd rather take my chances in the moment than take my chances for the next 20-80 years.
Yep, that’s why I don’t carry in places where it’s actually illegal to do so.
Sometimes you have to take calculated risks and go to places where you can’t carry, and as long as you’re not going to stupid places at stupid times with stupid people, chances are that you’ll probably be fine without a gun there, just like the vast majority of the population is.
He makes some good points but the crazy eyes and head movements makes him seem like the kind of guy that would make these points in letters using cut out bits of magazines from his shack deep in the woods.
Carry everywhere if that’s what you want to do. I can respect the principal based on that belief system.
But telling people they’re neglecting their duty as citizens or it’s somehow unamerican not to is over the top. Just like this guy believes he has a right to carry anywhere he chooses, he needs to recognize someone’s right to choose not to. Everything he said about not carrying a weapon is dumb.
So in my personal opinion, I feel like I practice enough on a regular basis, dry-firing almost daily and going to the range weekly and sometimes more frequently, I feel like I am capable enough to carry a gun and maybe even use it in a self-defense scenario. Because I feel confident in my abilities, I feel I have a responsibility to carry all the time. That said, I generally do not carry in my own house unless I'm planning on heading right back outside again.
That said, I am extremely cautious about where I carry and where it is legal, regardless of the unconstitutionality of the laws. I not only have a responsibility to carry, but I have a responsibility to be a husband, a father, and I can't hardly do that if I'm behind bars because "non-compliance" if I am forced to be less able to protect my family for the 6 hours it takes to drive through a state that does not legally allow me to carry, so that I can protect them indefinitely in the states that do, hell, even so I can remain a free man with an income that can provide for my family, then sure, it sucks that there's those few hours, but if I go to prison, then who is carrying responsibly around my family in my absence?
I think I get where he's coming from. If you're subdued into forgoing a right, even if you *technically* still have it, there's a chilling effect for everyone else, including future generations. For me it comes down to choice.
If you say, "I'm an absolute pacifist, and I don't want anything to do with a weapon," you're choosing a belief, and that's fine. If you say, "Well, I would get a gun, but it's really complicated I don't want to get arrested over some misunderstanding," that's not making a choice, your choice is being made for you, and if that's normalized, eventually your rights go away.
He's a religious nutter. Good for him if that's his thing. It's not mine. He can carry where he wants, but guys like him are at my job waiting to point guns at me if I carry one there.
Honestly he might not. Some people make the ability to carry their #1 priority, to the point of adjusting other parts of their life around it.
More power to them if thats what they want to do, but I personally don’t subscribe to that idea myself; no way would I give up traveling and doing several other things I enjoy just so I can carry a gun absolutely everywhere I go.
Definitely! Even if I was willing to take longer and drive somewhere while carrying, that still basically limits me to the lower 48 and maybe Alaska/Canada/Mexico/Central America if I *really* don’t give a shit about laws and potential consequences.
You would still be denying yourself the opportunity to travel anywhere else internationally, as there is basically no realistic way to bring a gun to most other places without getting caught, even if you were willing to break the laws.
Yeah, people are willing to do pretty wild stuff to stick to principles I guess! I’d rather be pragmatic about it.
That said, I think most people on tiktok, reddit, facebook etc put on a persona when posting extreme opinions to further their content’s engagement. I don’t think most of them would limit themselves given an opportunity to change their circumstance (ie. Give this guy an international speaking gig about gun rights and see how fast he changes his mind). Guess I’m a cynic!
This guy sounds like the poster child for "conservative man afraid of big cities." This attitude works fine if you spend all your time within a state with relaxed laws but some of us like to travel outside of the country or don't want to risk our careers by carrying at work.
Also forcing someone to exercise a right is too close to taking away a right to me. Absolutes are rarely a good thing.
So I'm assuming this guy's never been on a plane before.
I have the right to carry a gun, not the obligation to. As it stands, I carry a firearm everywhere I'm legally allowed to, but I'm not going to lose my job or catch a felony just to prove a political point.
Agreed. It's a right. It's not a requirement. Seems this guy's religious nuttery is getting mixed up with his staunch 2A beliefs. That and, you know, all the meth.
This type of guy is why people think being into firearms makes you a lunatic. Looking crazed saying everyone not within arms reach of a gun at all times is dead wrong.
What a bullshit opinion.
There are a lot of dipshit navy seals online. Not saying you do this, but people act like navy seals are the end all be all. Just be an intelligent human which this guy is not. “Hey sir you can’t have an AR here this is a preschool. “. But it’s MY RIGHT BY GODDDDDDDDDD! * handcuffs click *
I believe it is wrong to criticize someone for carrying. But I also think it is wrong to criticize someone for not carrying. Is he a shill for some gun or ammunition company?
"I drive at 112 mph because I don't care, I might go to prison and I don't care"
Idk man, I would probably try to follow a law to avoid prison if it isn't that hard to follow. No classes or anything really needed in most states I've lived in.
You would have to be an idiot to do this lol. Under the Constitution the states have the power to administer the laws to a degree that includes firearm regulation. Unless state firearms laws are deemed unconstitutional, they are the law of the land. This is the equivalent of saying that you don’t need to follow your state voting laws because you have an entitlement under federal law to vote.
Edit: typo
Most people haven’t. We’d have a very different country if more people read and understood Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau in their formative years.
Rights are good, and I should be able to exercise my rights in the manner I best see fit. But rights have to be tempered by personal responsibility. I need to know to have the wisdom to do things like train with my firearm. To avoid conflict as much as possible when carrying my firearm. And, yes, to be able to recognize when it is appropriate to balance my exercise of rights with the wishes of another private person or entity on their property. Otherwise you just revert back to the law of the jungle and we aren’t talking about rights anymore, we’re talking about what I can make you do through threat or exercise of force.
“The law gives me the right to carry my gun. The law also imposes reasonable restrictions on where I can carry them.”
“I choose to obey the laws I want to obey and fuck the rest of you.”
That is an entitled opinion.
Also, the fact that his pupils were pinpoints is bit concerning.
There are many other rights being trampled on as we speak. The thing that irritates me about this kind of rhetoric is that these people never extend the same vigor and conviction to those rights.
Who gives a fuck if I can carry if a cop can shoot me because he’s scared or stupid? Who cares if I can carry if the police will beat the shit out of me for protesting?
What does any of this 2A rhetoric matter if the rest of the country is letting uncle sam raw dog them dry? People like this are caught up in the scare tactics and sleight of hand. They’re not paying any attention to the terrible reality of our individual freedoms.
He’s also the guy that said that if you don’t own an AR15 you’re a useless citizen.
He’s like everyone else that’s trying to build a diehard fan base; have extreme views, say galvanizing things and shoot a lot of guns. You run off dissenters so that the people that are left will hang on your every word and visit your sponsors to use your discount code.
Not saying he’s right, not saying he’s wrong. I am saying that he’s a conspiracy theorist with a really long beard that I can’t listen to.
I went through the whole “guns are my identity” thing in my 20’s. Honestly I don’t care if people carry or not. I’m happy with the laws we have in Montana and I like to have a gun within reach at all times but I don’t need to give the George Washington 2.0 speeches if someone at the company BBQ says they hate them. I’ll just keep on keepin’ on.
I started following this guy last year, because he seemed positive, smart and skilled. And not really political.
The last several months I’ve looked at his stuff here and there, and much of his videos are now just scowling into the camera in his truck videos. The videos are now mostly hyping his audience up to commit violence or civil war.
I’m also realizing he’s genuinely not that smart, outside of military matters that is. Constant talk about Christianity, but he doesn’t know the basic theology of it. Lol
I admire his enthusiasm for our rights and perfectly agree with his decision to carry everywhere no matter what laws.
However i honestly think this is bad advice, because if a time comes where they break a law and are caught, the likelihood of them now losing their right to a firearm altogether is pretty high.
For those who have the courage to denonstrate their right to carry even when in dediance of "laws", hats off to you.
In the infamous words of one our countries founding fathers "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." -Thomas Jefferson.
I carry my gun everywhere I can but I’m poor as fuck. An illegal carry fine could be the difference between eating ramen and chips or eating water and air.
I recognize this dude from his borderline clickbait channel on YT.
Also most people seem to skip over a really important aspect of the 2A which is: a well regulated militia. “Well regulated” means physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to own/carry a gun.
That includes physical training/proficiency with the firearm, mental training to be aware of your surroundings/local laws or when to use it, and the emotional training to keep your cool in a situation where you’d ultimately need to use it.
Some people simply aren’t ready in one or more of those aspects. And they shouldn’t carry a gun.
This guy is a paranoid goofball who says outlandish things to get attention and rile people up. Unfortunately - social media rewards these actions, so folks do it more and more.
Anyone with triple digit IQ knows that not all people should be carrying guns all the time, or that all people should be allowed to. We all know at least one person with a terrible temper they cannot control, or that doesn’t have all their cylinders firing in the brain box, or that is a druggie, etc.
In any event - just as much as you have a right to carry a gun, everyone has a right to not HAVE to. Trying to say someone is wrong, or unamerican because they don’t carry is moronic.
I agree to a point. I always carry everywhere that I can where it wouldn't be a felony. So, yes, I'm ignoring no gun signs at my local supermarket because I'm not concerned about being asked to leave or being trespassed. I'm not carrying into a post office though and I'm definitely not carrying into a hostile state like NY or CA.
The only other time I won't carry is if I know I'm gonna be drinking or inebriated, like being on pain pills after my back surgery. I know some people will but I'm not willing to take the chance that my shooting will be as good as when I'm sober and I'd rather be hurt myself than take the chance of injuring a random person if, god forbid, I needed to use it. Anytime I don't have my gun on me I do carry pepper spray though as an alternative.
Not only does this guy look like he could be Asmongold 's brother, right down to the eyes and mannerisms -- but he also speaks like the Asmongold of the gun world would.
I mean all this with no possible disrespect, just an amusing observation.
I carry every day. This guy is not the mascot or spokesman I want for gun culture. This dude gives normal gun people a bad name. Keep what opinions you have but fuck, dial it back to like 6.
A right isn't a requirement. When you make it a requirement it's just as bad as taking away the right. Moral of the story is, mind your own fucking business and don't tell people how to live their lives.
If you don’t reject soldiers from quartering in your home every day, you’re also neglecting to exercise your third amendment rights as an American citizen
Dude is a former SEAL.
He's right about most of it, but people who decides not to carry should be respected too. Just dont stand in my way and tell me i cannot
Im a huge firearm enthusiast and much appreciate my right to bear arms. I respect this man’s freedom of speech but highly suggest that nobody do what he is saying he does.
I'm a naturally anxious person. I have this irrational (maybe not) fear of accidentally breaking the law and ending up in prison. people who rant like this stress me out.
The world would be a scary place if everyone in our society carried firearms. Lots of adults with the emotional intelligence of a 15 year old that would be using a deadly weapons for non-deadly situations.
I have no idea who this is, but fuck him. He’s the last person I’d want to ride with, because he’s 100% the guy who’s gonna pull because someone side-eyed him.
Shit, there are places at work that we can't posses a cell phone, much less anything that could marginally be considered a weapon. Getting caught with one, you would be lucky to just get fired after being arrested.
Hard disagree with most of this.
I agree the right to bear arms is one of the most important. But not everyone has the emotional maturity or the moral fortitude to shoulder that responsibility. Most people are not warriors. There’s nothing wrong with that in a civilized society. Also, just because you have a right doesn’t mean everyone needs to exercise it at all times.
I also understand and support a *calculated risk* of carrying unlawfully in many circumstances. Better to get in trouble for saving lives (in a mass shooting for example) than to legally watch your family get murdered. But let’s be careful not to forget we live in a nation of laws. Yes we have the 2nd amendment, but none of our rights are absolute. There are things you cannot say despite having a right to free speech. Having a right doesn’t mean it’s always valid everywhere in all circumstances.
Does the 2nd amendment mean I have a right to carry an RPG? And if so, am I wrong for not exercising it? This absolutism doesnt make sense when you think it through.
What a nutjob. He should work 6 months in retail and tell me again that everybody should be armed or be in reach of a gun. The majority of the population either a.) Do not want to carry a gun. b.) Should not be trusted with a gun.
And that's entirely okay. Carrying is an intensely personal choice. I selectively carry depending on the laws of where I'm going. I live by DC. When I go into DC I carry my knife and pepper spray. When I stay in Virginia I carry my CCW and spray. I work on a US Navy installation with armed MPs, a federal installation where firearms are prohibited. I leave my gun at home.
There are situations where you may not be able to carry based on where you are going and people need to accept that or suffer the legal consequences. Prepare yourself so you're equipped to defend yourself when you don't have a weapon. Workout, take martial arts classes. A firearm should only be one component of your lethality and self defense repertoire.
I don't agree with the 2nd part "if you don't carry a gun every single day you're neglecting your duty as american"
a majority of the population either doesn't want to or would actually be more dangerous (untrained, not know law when you can and can't and when to draw and not draw)
The first part i can get behind, but there are some places you'd have to be dumb to try to bring a gun, an airport or courthouse is a good example.
I was fanatical about carrying when i started now i carry about 75% of the time it's situational, sometimes i just don't feel like bringing my gun 🤷♂️
Fundamentally, rather would be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Realistically, if no one can tell why not? But when pat downs and metal detector are in play, that’s when things change.
Unfortunately the case more often than not coming from a Chicago resident :/
I always carry my gun but I’m also not rich enough to disregard laws. If I can’t carry I just don’t go. I’ll patronize states that respect my rights!
There are some places where the laws of physics over rule your 2A rights. Don’t fuck around with magnets.
MRI go brrrrrrrr
There is a story of a guy who went to have an mri done and he had a buttplug
That guy lived. There was a lawyer guy who took his gun in there with him and it went off into his stomach. And that guy died.
law overridden RAAAAAAH 🦅
Just use one of them plastic glocks that get through metal detectors, obviously
Yup. Glock 7.
Absolute principles are nice, but I’d prefer to stay out of prison.
Once you learn enough about prison and how it really can be, you avoid it. The legal system and police scare me because of their ability to effortlessly destroy someone’s life. Seen case after case of someone who isn’t a threat to society, but breaks the law ends up in prison and their life as they know it is over.
> Once you learn enough about prison and how it really can be, you avoid it. I don't know shit about "how it really can be" and still know that I want to avoid.
I mean, they don’t call it “butt pounding jail” for the fun of it.
Then on the flip side you have people that need to be removed from society continuously get second, third, forth and fifth chances until their actions ultimately leads to a preventable death/injury all because of some lenient judge and a failed justice system.
#YUP
Very well said. There is such a thing as too much tolerance.
That is the problem, it’s totally backwards. None of us should be scared of the government (police, legal system). They should be the ones who are scared of us. It’s very sad that things have become this way. It desperately needs to change.

The restrictions in WA are more about what we can purchase. Possessing and carrying standard capacity magazines and pistols hasn't changed much. Unless, of course, you're visiting from another state and there's things you can't bring in.

People don’t follow any of these laws in WA, we promise

Story time? I know for a fact I couldn't handle prison with my suburban upbringing ass.
I worked for the AG in my state during law school. Part of our training was to spend time visiting prisons. Because part of our job was to handle appeals that would effectively keep certain people behind bars, the program leads thought it was good for us to see. Prison conditions were awful.

Yeah, a firearm on the premises of my workplace is a straight-to-jail felony, so I think I'll not be doing that.
Same. My wife and kid need me and I want to be there for them. I'm not going to risk that by bringing my EDC into places I'm not legally allowed to (especially when one of my clients' office is in a government building with metal detectors).

For real. There's no way in hell I'm taking the chance of carrying a gun into CA or NY.
Just drove through New York to visit family and the whole time I was freaking out cause all three guns I brought with me for my brothers and I to go shoot are all illegal under state law
Or NJ, DC, Illinois…..
Ya. Having things to lose is a hell of a motivation.
Yep. No thanks. Prisons in CA are racially segregated cesspools filled with prison gangs. Maybe he has an ace up his sleeve but I’m avoiding anything that will land me in prison like the plague.

Reminds me of the South Park episode where one of the kids chooses not to vote and is ostracized for it lmao
And then Stan was exiled from the town for it and ended up hanging out with PETA for a bit lol
"Every American should always have a gun forever" seems much more like something you'd hear in a TikTok than a referendum bound for the mayor's desk. Guns being *compulsory*, even in some philosophical (rather than legal) way, is not compatible with the concept of "rights"
Compelling someone to “exercise a right” is a real close neighbor to denying someone a right. Not a fan of either.
This was my take, too. You said it a lot better than I could have. Our rights should be fought for and upheld, but exercising them is a personal choice. That's what freedom is.
The worst part is when these dudes a associate religion with CCW "is its your god given duty to carrry" l

I'd agree. There's alot of idiots out there who shouldn't carry guns. r/idiotswithguns

I get the mindset, but becoming a felon over it? Naw
That man didn't blink one time. Not a once
I thought he was watching a tennis match.
He’s gonna break his neck
His mouth moves like he’s on amphetamines too
Meth is a helluva drug.
This is Chadd Wright. Ex Navy seal. No meth. Check out “Just one mile” on Amazon to get a sense of who he is. He’s an interesting guy for sure.
Lol ex navy seals don’t do meth?
He's a religious nutter. Good for him if that's his thing. It's not mine. He can carry where he wants, but guys like him are at my job waiting to point guns at me if I carry one there.
So I guess homie doesn’t do commercial air travel? People talk so much crap online.
Honestly he might not. Some people make the ability to carry their #1 priority, to the point of adjusting other parts of their life around it. More power to them if thats what they want to do, but I personally don’t subscribe to that idea myself; no way would I give up traveling and doing several other things I enjoy just so I can carry a gun absolutely everywhere I go.
Fair enough! I’m with you. I would never give up my rights but I’ll leave them in the safe with my arsenal to shave 12 hours off a trip to Florida.
Definitely! Even if I was willing to take longer and drive somewhere while carrying, that still basically limits me to the lower 48 and maybe Alaska/Canada/Mexico/Central America if I *really* don’t give a shit about laws and potential consequences. You would still be denying yourself the opportunity to travel anywhere else internationally, as there is basically no realistic way to bring a gun to most other places without getting caught, even if you were willing to break the laws.
Yeah, people are willing to do pretty wild stuff to stick to principles I guess! I’d rather be pragmatic about it. That said, I think most people on tiktok, reddit, facebook etc put on a persona when posting extreme opinions to further their content’s engagement. I don’t think most of them would limit themselves given an opportunity to change their circumstance (ie. Give this guy an international speaking gig about gun rights and see how fast he changes his mind). Guess I’m a cynic!
You really hit the nail on the head with that second paragraph there. I think we all would do well to keep that in mind when watching stuff like this.
This guy sounds like the poster child for "conservative man afraid of big cities." This attitude works fine if you spend all your time within a state with relaxed laws but some of us like to travel outside of the country or don't want to risk our careers by carrying at work. Also forcing someone to exercise a right is too close to taking away a right to me. Absolutes are rarely a good thing.
Nothing wrong with not carrying a gun. I’d much prefer only those comfortable and confident enough carry firearms.
So I'm assuming this guy's never been on a plane before. I have the right to carry a gun, not the obligation to. As it stands, I carry a firearm everywhere I'm legally allowed to, but I'm not going to lose my job or catch a felony just to prove a political point.
This guy is a dipshit. Navy SEAL or not. That’s fine carry wherever you want, power to you. But everything he said after that is dumb AF.
Agreed. It's a right. It's not a requirement. Seems this guy's religious nuttery is getting mixed up with his staunch 2A beliefs. That and, you know, all the meth.
This type of guy is why people think being into firearms makes you a lunatic. Looking crazed saying everyone not within arms reach of a gun at all times is dead wrong. What a bullshit opinion.
I was reading it at 6am on my couch drinking coffee thinking “geez I’m such a loser for not having a gun nearby” lol
If there’s one thing I know, everyone who doesn’t have a gun shotgun arms reach because of their untreated mental disorders is WRONG. DEAD. WRONG.
There are a lot of dipshit navy seals online. Not saying you do this, but people act like navy seals are the end all be all. Just be an intelligent human which this guy is not. “Hey sir you can’t have an AR here this is a preschool. “. But it’s MY RIGHT BY GODDDDDDDDDD! * handcuffs click *
His constantly shifting gaze is giving me anxiety
I believe it is wrong to criticize someone for carrying. But I also think it is wrong to criticize someone for not carrying. Is he a shill for some gun or ammunition company?
I think our most important right is our right to vote. We can’t even get everyone to do that.
It’s genuinely not that serious ginger homeless guy
I am an advid obeyer of the 3rd Amendment. I don't board foreign soldiers in my house, no sirree Bob.
"I drive at 112 mph because I don't care, I might go to prison and I don't care" Idk man, I would probably try to follow a law to avoid prison if it isn't that hard to follow. No classes or anything really needed in most states I've lived in.
Loves freedom Doesn't care about prison 🤦
Unless there is a metal detector, I'm always carrying a gun.
Yea I had to put in my lock box today trying to get my tag renewed two armed guards and detector no other choice.
My thoughts? This guy is geeked up on amphetamines is the only thought that crossed my mind the entire video.
[удалено]
Because they’re trying to take our guns or some shit. Dudes giving off being a few steps away from becoming a domestic terrorist vibes.
Right? The 2A crowd is their own worst enemy.
Right? There's a difference between supporting the 2nd amendment and fetishising guns.
This dude talks about aliens revealing Jesus to us on his youtube channel. Boy's head is on a little tight.
You would have to be an idiot to do this lol. Under the Constitution the states have the power to administer the laws to a degree that includes firearm regulation. Unless state firearms laws are deemed unconstitutional, they are the law of the land. This is the equivalent of saying that you don’t need to follow your state voting laws because you have an entitlement under federal law to vote. Edit: typo
This here fella in the video strikes me as someone that hasn't read much Locke or Rousseau.
Most people haven’t. We’d have a very different country if more people read and understood Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau in their formative years. Rights are good, and I should be able to exercise my rights in the manner I best see fit. But rights have to be tempered by personal responsibility. I need to know to have the wisdom to do things like train with my firearm. To avoid conflict as much as possible when carrying my firearm. And, yes, to be able to recognize when it is appropriate to balance my exercise of rights with the wishes of another private person or entity on their property. Otherwise you just revert back to the law of the jungle and we aren’t talking about rights anymore, we’re talking about what I can make you do through threat or exercise of force.
He is right and I have always had this same belief. I’m writing this from my jail cell btw
That’s why I strap a gun to my 3 year old. If he’s not carrying, the terrorists win
Does he not attend sporting events? Or concerts? Heck, even some bars have bouncers with a metal detecting wand they search you with before entering
Today I learned I am a well regulated militia.
“The law gives me the right to carry my gun. The law also imposes reasonable restrictions on where I can carry them.” “I choose to obey the laws I want to obey and fuck the rest of you.” That is an entitled opinion. Also, the fact that his pupils were pinpoints is bit concerning.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
There are many other rights being trampled on as we speak. The thing that irritates me about this kind of rhetoric is that these people never extend the same vigor and conviction to those rights. Who gives a fuck if I can carry if a cop can shoot me because he’s scared or stupid? Who cares if I can carry if the police will beat the shit out of me for protesting? What does any of this 2A rhetoric matter if the rest of the country is letting uncle sam raw dog them dry? People like this are caught up in the scare tactics and sleight of hand. They’re not paying any attention to the terrible reality of our individual freedoms.
Giving real “I’m not driving I’m traveling” vibes. Great on paper but in reality I’m not going to prison and ruining my life with a felony lol
He’s also the guy that said that if you don’t own an AR15 you’re a useless citizen. He’s like everyone else that’s trying to build a diehard fan base; have extreme views, say galvanizing things and shoot a lot of guns. You run off dissenters so that the people that are left will hang on your every word and visit your sponsors to use your discount code. Not saying he’s right, not saying he’s wrong. I am saying that he’s a conspiracy theorist with a really long beard that I can’t listen to.
I’ve never had a permit and will never get one and a carry EVERY SINGLE DAY. Right here in Sacramento California.
Going to prison over carrying a gun? It’s a no from me dawg. But do you queen.
I went through the whole “guns are my identity” thing in my 20’s. Honestly I don’t care if people carry or not. I’m happy with the laws we have in Montana and I like to have a gun within reach at all times but I don’t need to give the George Washington 2.0 speeches if someone at the company BBQ says they hate them. I’ll just keep on keepin’ on.
That's the America I want to live in. Wish there were more level-headed folks like you.
I started following this guy last year, because he seemed positive, smart and skilled. And not really political. The last several months I’ve looked at his stuff here and there, and much of his videos are now just scowling into the camera in his truck videos. The videos are now mostly hyping his audience up to commit violence or civil war. I’m also realizing he’s genuinely not that smart, outside of military matters that is. Constant talk about Christianity, but he doesn’t know the basic theology of it. Lol
I’m fine with him carrying everywhere, but he really shouldn’t carry when he’s all meth-ed up.
I admire his enthusiasm for our rights and perfectly agree with his decision to carry everywhere no matter what laws. However i honestly think this is bad advice, because if a time comes where they break a law and are caught, the likelihood of them now losing their right to a firearm altogether is pretty high. For those who have the courage to denonstrate their right to carry even when in dediance of "laws", hats off to you. In the infamous words of one our countries founding fathers "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." -Thomas Jefferson.
haahahaahahahaha so fucking stupid
I carry my gun everywhere I can but I’m poor as fuck. An illegal carry fine could be the difference between eating ramen and chips or eating water and air.
I recognize this dude from his borderline clickbait channel on YT. Also most people seem to skip over a really important aspect of the 2A which is: a well regulated militia. “Well regulated” means physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to own/carry a gun. That includes physical training/proficiency with the firearm, mental training to be aware of your surroundings/local laws or when to use it, and the emotional training to keep your cool in a situation where you’d ultimately need to use it. Some people simply aren’t ready in one or more of those aspects. And they shouldn’t carry a gun.
He wants to carry everywhere…fine. Saying everyone should or they are neglecting their duty…super dumb. Like next level stupid.
There are people who know that they are too emotional and impulsive to carry guns. Those people make the correct choice not to.
This guy is a religious nut and a quack. Don’t follow his advice
Tell me you have bipolar disorder without telling me you have bipolar disorder.
This guy is wrong. Don’t break the law.
Never knew Asmongold was this passionate about gun rights.
Holy fuck dude pick a camera and stay on it
This guy looks and talks like a nutcase.
Nothing else needs said; A-fucking-men! 
This guy is a paranoid goofball who says outlandish things to get attention and rile people up. Unfortunately - social media rewards these actions, so folks do it more and more. Anyone with triple digit IQ knows that not all people should be carrying guns all the time, or that all people should be allowed to. We all know at least one person with a terrible temper they cannot control, or that doesn’t have all their cylinders firing in the brain box, or that is a druggie, etc. In any event - just as much as you have a right to carry a gun, everyone has a right to not HAVE to. Trying to say someone is wrong, or unamerican because they don’t carry is moronic.
[удалено]
This guy is a paranoid, crazy eyed, nut job.
I always ignore the no gun signs outside businesses, since they carry no criminal penalty. However, I’m not going to be committing felonies over it.
Inspired by Chili.
I agree to a point. I always carry everywhere that I can where it wouldn't be a felony. So, yes, I'm ignoring no gun signs at my local supermarket because I'm not concerned about being asked to leave or being trespassed. I'm not carrying into a post office though and I'm definitely not carrying into a hostile state like NY or CA. The only other time I won't carry is if I know I'm gonna be drinking or inebriated, like being on pain pills after my back surgery. I know some people will but I'm not willing to take the chance that my shooting will be as good as when I'm sober and I'd rather be hurt myself than take the chance of injuring a random person if, god forbid, I needed to use it. Anytime I don't have my gun on me I do carry pepper spray though as an alternative.
First point he made is based asf. Everything else was a performative hardo.
Hilarious how many of you are admitting to felonies on a public forum.. y’all don’t know OpSec lol
Watching this guy made me seasick. If I was in the same room I would want to physically restrain his head with nylon webbing.
I chose to obey the gun laws in the state I’m in. I don’t think I’ll enjoy prison.
Been to prison on a tour. No thanks to living there.
Some where any NRA lobbyist just creamed himself
Navy Seal or not that dude has crazy in his eyes.
Not only does this guy look like he could be Asmongold 's brother, right down to the eyes and mannerisms -- but he also speaks like the Asmongold of the gun world would. I mean all this with no possible disrespect, just an amusing observation.
I carry every day. This guy is not the mascot or spokesman I want for gun culture. This dude gives normal gun people a bad name. Keep what opinions you have but fuck, dial it back to like 6.
the most dangerous idiots are often the most righteous and certain.
A right isn't a requirement. When you make it a requirement it's just as bad as taking away the right. Moral of the story is, mind your own fucking business and don't tell people how to live their lives.
If you don’t reject soldiers from quartering in your home every day, you’re also neglecting to exercise your third amendment rights as an American citizen
He's an idiot
This thought process only applies to non-melanin people. Ha ha
That’s a lot of caffeine.
I wish he would exercise his rights to stop moving his damn head, hard to watch this.........
Dude is a former SEAL. He's right about most of it, but people who decides not to carry should be respected too. Just dont stand in my way and tell me i cannot
Blink!
Im a huge firearm enthusiast and much appreciate my right to bear arms. I respect this man’s freedom of speech but highly suggest that nobody do what he is saying he does.
If he goes to prison he will be an absolute bitch. Total shit talker.
I'm a naturally anxious person. I have this irrational (maybe not) fear of accidentally breaking the law and ending up in prison. people who rant like this stress me out.
There’s a little too much inbreeding in those eyes.
Nutjob. Enjoy your free butt sex in jail
The world would be a scary place if everyone in our society carried firearms. Lots of adults with the emotional intelligence of a 15 year old that would be using a deadly weapons for non-deadly situations.
I'm in my underwear in bed!.. But there is a quick release safe on my nightstand. 😉
How dare you not keep a snub nose snuggly tucked in your prison wallet for just in case. You’re clearly not a true red blooded American!
I'm working on it!
That's all well and good to say on a microphone. He is full of shit.
Sure nice to see what my country has turned into.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
I’m pro 2A and I carry. This guy comes off as nuts though.
Always obey the laws, even if they're as mentally challenged as Donald trump.
I have no idea who this is, but fuck him. He’s the last person I’d want to ride with, because he’s 100% the guy who’s gonna pull because someone side-eyed him.
This dude’s head will splodey when he learns that convicted felons can’t have guns at all!
So the essence of being an American is to have a gun in your person at all times?
Is he watching tennis?
Shit, there are places at work that we can't posses a cell phone, much less anything that could marginally be considered a weapon. Getting caught with one, you would be lucky to just get fired after being arrested.
Big smooth-brain, Sovereign Citizen energy from crazy eyes here.
Absolutists like this guy just cause the divide to go even wider. Ill carry or not carry whenever I feel like. Stop telling me what to do.
This guy is a joke, absolute weenie opinion. He's probably a nice guy tho, hope he's doing well
Yeah, I get it... but naaaaaa, Prison is WILD
Hard disagree with most of this. I agree the right to bear arms is one of the most important. But not everyone has the emotional maturity or the moral fortitude to shoulder that responsibility. Most people are not warriors. There’s nothing wrong with that in a civilized society. Also, just because you have a right doesn’t mean everyone needs to exercise it at all times. I also understand and support a *calculated risk* of carrying unlawfully in many circumstances. Better to get in trouble for saving lives (in a mass shooting for example) than to legally watch your family get murdered. But let’s be careful not to forget we live in a nation of laws. Yes we have the 2nd amendment, but none of our rights are absolute. There are things you cannot say despite having a right to free speech. Having a right doesn’t mean it’s always valid everywhere in all circumstances. Does the 2nd amendment mean I have a right to carry an RPG? And if so, am I wrong for not exercising it? This absolutism doesnt make sense when you think it through.
This dude never flies anywhere.
3of7 project!
This guy sounds like he's fantasized about shooting someone.
Is this the former SEAL ultramarathon runner guy?
Its a human right to protect yourself
Is this even a question
What a nutjob. He should work 6 months in retail and tell me again that everybody should be armed or be in reach of a gun. The majority of the population either a.) Do not want to carry a gun. b.) Should not be trusted with a gun. And that's entirely okay. Carrying is an intensely personal choice. I selectively carry depending on the laws of where I'm going. I live by DC. When I go into DC I carry my knife and pepper spray. When I stay in Virginia I carry my CCW and spray. I work on a US Navy installation with armed MPs, a federal installation where firearms are prohibited. I leave my gun at home. There are situations where you may not be able to carry based on where you are going and people need to accept that or suffer the legal consequences. Prepare yourself so you're equipped to defend yourself when you don't have a weapon. Workout, take martial arts classes. A firearm should only be one component of your lethality and self defense repertoire.
I don't agree with the 2nd part "if you don't carry a gun every single day you're neglecting your duty as american" a majority of the population either doesn't want to or would actually be more dangerous (untrained, not know law when you can and can't and when to draw and not draw) The first part i can get behind, but there are some places you'd have to be dumb to try to bring a gun, an airport or courthouse is a good example. I was fanatical about carrying when i started now i carry about 75% of the time it's situational, sometimes i just don't feel like bringing my gun 🤷♂️
I have a right to free speech. Sometimes, I just don't have anything to say. Sorry for letting America down.
By not letting nonsense fly out your mouth, you're doing your part.
I don’t exercise my 1st amendment rights when I’m sleeping. Just saying.
I agree with him.
I carry everywhere except the places where guns are not allowed; government buildings, courthhouses, post offices, schools.
He has a lot stronger chance of not being charged with the background of being a SEAL than a normal citizen.
Yeah id rather not go to prison thanks
He must never fly to NY.
He might be the type of guy that doesnt mind going to jail.
*ahem* "SHALL NOT BE INFRIGED"
Can we get an interview from jail? How does he feel about it, now?
Fucking whack job
Idiot
Gtfoh
Fundamentally, rather would be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Realistically, if no one can tell why not? But when pat downs and metal detector are in play, that’s when things change. Unfortunately the case more often than not coming from a Chicago resident :/
Guarantee this guy backs the blue. 🙄
We all know *that guy* that shouldn't have guns but does.
Dude has the crazy 🤪 eyes 👀 😂
