Your Fault Forever: Accountability for Every Round!

This video highlights the critical importance of foundational firearms training, particularly basic pistol classes, before progressing to more advanced courses like concealed carry or armed security. The speaker emphasizes that neglecting basic techniques can lead to injuries, such as the recoil-induced hand injury sustained by the speaker, and underscores the need for proper education to safely exercise Second Amendment rights.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of using hollow point ammunition for concealed carry. Instructor John G. Johnson explains that responsible gun owners are accountable for their bullet's trajectory and terminal effects. He highlights the significant risk of over-penetration with ball ammunition, which can lead to unintended collateral damage, and contrasts this with the controlled expansion and stopping power of hollow points, which are designed to remain within the threat.

This video from Active Self Protection, hosted by John Correia and Neil Weidner, analyzes a severe firearms safety violation where an officer negligently discharges a firearm into his own leg. The hosts emphasize the critical importance of adhering to fundamental safety rules, such as always pointing firearms in a safe direction, keeping fingers off the trigger until ready to fire, and verifying the firearm is unloaded through visual and tactile chamber checks. They also highlight the necessity of carrying a personal medical kit and the benefits of services like DeleteMe for online privacy.

This video provides expert guidance on appropriate black powder charges for various cap and ball revolvers. The instructor, with apparent extensive experience, details specific grain recommendations for .31 caliber pocket revolvers (10-12 grains), .36 caliber belt pistols like the 1861 Navy (17-20 grains), .44 caliber holster pistols with brass frames (20 grains) and steel frames (25-30 grains), and the Colt Walker (.44 caliber, 40 grains recommended over its 60-grain capacity). The benefits of using paper cartridges for efficiency and fun are also highlighted.

This video details the 'Check Drill,' an advanced firearms training exercise designed to integrate pistol and rifle skills under pressure. It emphasizes the critical combat scenario where a rifle may become inoperable, requiring a swift transition to a pistol, followed by the ability to quickly re-establish the rifle as the primary weapon. The drill highlights the importance of safe pistol re-holstering and efficient rifle reloads, simulating real-world tactical engagements.

This drill, demonstrated by a Green Beret, focuses on dynamic target engagement and movement. Key elements include identifying threats from various directions, adapting shooting platforms based on foot position without adjustment, and incorporating varied engagement rhythms. Crucially, it emphasizes maintaining strict muzzle awareness and safety protocols when operating near a partner.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
