This Albany Oregon cop (Jim Estes) is cool as the other side of the pillow:

You can check out the same footage from another guy’s camera. It’s missing some solid derp at the start and the end though so I still recommend the video I put in the post even thought the quality isn’t as good.

1:19 – “Can I compromise with you?  I have an AR in my car.  If you let me take a look a your AR I’ll show you mine, and trust me mine is why cooler than yours.”

Interesting approach.  I don’t see what that accomplishes though besides to break the ice to find out who these guys are.

4:30 – hahha the cop shut that kid down on his “I can’t hold it unless I have a permit” SBR auto whining.  Nice.

OMG ENOUGH WITH THE NAMES AND DATES OF BIRTH.  THEY DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THEM TO YOU.

I am not a fan of police officers asking for information they know they are not entitled to.  People that don’t know the law then proceed to give it to them because they associate the badge with supreme authority.   Not right in my opinion.

I’m also not a fan of open carry trolling either, but I do wish people would stop shitting their pants every time they saw someone with a gun out in public on someone who doesn’t look like a cop or a non-threatening old man or something to them.  Better safe than sorry?  Sure maybe… but where do you draw the line?

Bottom line is these kids are idiots.  If you’re going to attempt something like this at least be smarter about it, don’t just hit pause on CAWWADOODY, tell your mom you might be late for supper, text your bros, and throw a rifle on your back.

Markedguardian (one of the guys in the video) seems to have made it his life’s work to open carry troll. If you click the link you can find A TON of other videos he’s done on exactly that.

Thoughts?

This is money:

Catch and release Quail hunting is a sport I would do.  I have to brush up on my hand eye operational skills though to pull of catches like that.’

My first thought was “FAKE!”, mainly because the internet has put permanent skepticism in me.  Anyone?  Is it shopped?  Can you tell by the pixels?  I’m still enhancing the frames over here on my cray supercomputer but I’ll let you guys know when I’m done.

I’m going to give this guy the benefit of a doubt because he’s apparently Texas pastor Matt Carter.  If I know pastors like I think I do (not well) I gotta trust they wouldn’t lie as a part of a viral video scheme.  That would be the devil’s work.

Thoughts?

Snoop Dogg, Snoop Lion… same difference except the latter sounds ridiculous:

I’m curious what brought this video on considering the song itself is almost 2 months old.  Oh well either way I like his take on it, it was similar to mine.

MrColionNoir is wearing the Run Guns t-shirt from ENDO Apparel if you want to pick one up.

Probably the most useless firearm related 3D printing application yet:

So let me get this straight… you print out the shape of the projectile which basically weighs nothing, and then you go and fill it with lead? hahahaha cool story bro.

Until everything that weights more than feathers is banned or regulated I can’t see there ever being a point to this.

These guys need to start getting that Richard Ryan money and invest in a proper slow motion camera.  The one they use hurts my sensitive eyes.

Thoughts?

The gun store guys Iraqveteran8888 talk about the ridiculousness:

Yea California is ridiculous for firearm law!  I should have sent them the No Right To Bear Arms t-shirt for this vid, but the Restricted LE/GOV Use Only one worked too.

Good talk.. It’s a long one but it needed to be.  The Barrett boycot of California government and law enforcement sales they talk about was so priceless… good for Barrett for not giving a shit.

Head over to ENDO Apparel to check out the t-shirts. You’re going to want to look good for summer.

You haven’t really trained until you’ve trained under operator Ben Goldstein:

Elite operator combat training course instructed by a Tier Zero Israeli operator commando asset who has operated on multiple organic full spectrum dynamic systematical operational operations. With this training develop an aggressive operator warrior mindset that breeds a kinetic nonlinear response to exploit and dominate the enemy in an unconventional and asymmetric fashion.

Wow right out of the gate my mind was blown with this vid:

0:11 – Adjusting (wtf?) loaded handguns in student’s hands.  The closest Glock is loaded says the chamber indicator anyway so I’m assuming they are all loaded getting ready for a drill.

0:15 – In case of home invasion distract intruder by putting non shooting hand up by ear holding up all 5 fingers while awkwardly rotating your body to shoot from the stomach

0:25 – “Using Proven Israeli Methods” followed by the most epic trigger slapping I’ve witnessed in a while.  It even went on past slide-lock. Bravo sir bravo…

0:54 – Swinging a yellow pole angrily at the students.  That stress training to create a positive warrior mindset.

1:14 – “You will train to become a warrior. A person that moves towards the sound of gunfire, not away from it”.  Yea something tells me no carry class in the country, nor any reputable firearm self defense course is going to tell you to fight someone else’s battle.

1:27 – Approximately 10 seconds to get an AK ready to fire.  You’re dead old man… pick a new rifle or leave self defense to the young whippersnappers.

1:41 – I’m loving the exaggerated perimeter scan.  Very Hollywood.  Upside down AR-15 mag in some kydex too is operator.  That fool’s kydex got mo’ retention than a motherfucker.

1:47 – Flap your arms with your handgun and your mag before every reload.

1:59 – Did he seriously train this girl to shoot like that?  Eyes closed, elbows bent, shitty grip

2:07 – “You won’t have a choice, because he just forced combat on you” – SURPRISE COMBAT!

2:22 – “Train hard and prepare for the worst” I’m thinking with these guys should be more like “Train the worst and prepare to fail hard.”

2:24 – I burst out laughing at this - “THIIIIIIIS is trigger control” *agressive mag toss*  He might as well just finished that sentence with “you stupid sons of bitches” because it was about as belittling.

2:28 – And were back to walking infront of students with (probably loaded) guns

2:43 – LOL verbally bitch slapped this guy into a kneel / reload / fire then goes into some dialogue like a hypnotist.

3:08 – Once again, some more loaded guns to walk infront of and adjust

3:14 – “We always attack, we never give up, we never die”

3:38 – Sweet grip brah.  Make sure you get that thumb behind the trigger so you can make it reset quicker to satisfy your operator needs.

3:52 – “SCAHHHHHHHN SCAHHHHHHN” *everyone puts non trigger hand up by head and looks around like idiots*

4:23 – Become your greatest fear with Israeli Combat Training.  Well my greatest fear is being a Tier 0 Derperator so I think I found the right place.

5:21 – Oh shit the tactical yellow pole is back.

5:54 – Charging on the come-up.  Definitely adding that move to my bag of operational tricks.

6:10 – I’ve seen butter that wasn’t as smooth as that transition.

7:00 – Probably the most awkward and useless looking drill I’ve ever seen. 

7:23 – Old white dude attempts the same drill with added yelling from the instructor.  “Scan… breathe… Bring it in… bring it in… fucking awesome. I SAW your first shot I SAW them right here.”

Is this real life?  I appears so.  They even have a website.  If you live in the Southern part of Florida, Memphis TN, or in Little Rock AR, it looks like you can get training from these guys pretty easily.  If you don’t, no need to fret, according to their class schedule page they will travel anywhere in the country for training sessions.

Buck Yeager’s video that sparked the feud:

It’s funny to see Buck Yeager as the voice of reason now.  The same guy that flipped his shit and said he was going to start killing people.  From what I know about the march, it does seem very risky.  Who knows what could happen?   It’s ridiculous that gun laws differer so drastically from state to state, but I’m going to have to side with Yeager on this one… I just don’t know if a bunch of pro 2A people who are gun owners getting felonies (and then being not allowed to own guns as a result) is the way to go about trying to make change.  Going unarmed to this doesn’t really say as anything as far as I’m concerned, but on the other hand I guess strength in numbers still looks good.

Adam Kokesh tells Yeager to prove to him he’s not a coward:

Home address is given… Let’s see if Yeager shows.  Let me guess… UH NO.  Yeager really should stop making threats… it’s some schoolyard bullshit that is just making him look like an idiot.

Kokesh tries to compare this to other open carry events across the country that have been happening in an effort to sell how “safe” this DC one is going to be.  Yeah… no other open carry events as far as I know violated laws on purpose just to try and prove a point.  Maybe I’m wrong about that though?

Side Note: Maybe it’s just the way Adam is sitting, but his suit looks ridiculous.

You can read about the July 4th open carry march on Washington DC over on the facebook page.

An excerpt:

We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back, having shown that free people are not welcome in Washington, & return with the resolve that the politicians, bureaucrats, & enforcers of the federal government will not be welcome in the land of the free.

Thoughts?  Maybe I’m missing something? Are any of you guys going to this armed? Let me know.

Why have a debate when you can just have someone on that agrees with you:

I have unconfirmed reports that the two made out for 20 minutes after filming was done.

“AR-15 Military Assault Rifle”… here we go again. If you don’t remember Bob Costas, he’s the football announcer who stirred up some controversy on a comment he made about an NFL linebacker who shot his girlfriend.

Was this filmed in the United States?  I find it hard to believe Piers still resides in a country he obviously hates so much.  Well I guess CNN keeps paying him… that’s problem #1.

Thoughts?

Demolition Ranch realized the shotgun he thought he wrecked, still functioned fine and was over 18″.  More tests:

Holy what a mess haha.  That was surprising that 1st shot didn’t do anything by the look of it.  As he says toward the end of the video, it was a pawn shop gun he picked up for cheap… for science.

I’m thinking he should shoot down what’s left of the barrel with a .50 BMG or something if he has one.  Put tannerite in there too for the heck of it.

If you missed part 1 back when the shotgun was still in perfect shape, head over here and watch it.

To buy one of the AR-15 Picatinny Rail t-shirts he has on head over to ENDO Apparel.

Thoughts?

This is what I call a party:

2:00 – A real operator would have drank that.

2:25 – Pour it out?! Dude you just made Glock tea and you’re going to just pour it down the drain as well? *facepalm*

2:50 – The assault chopsticks were a nice touch… props.

Not one of Mattv2099‘s most exciting vids, but still funny to watch nevertheless.
