    Thank you brother. This saved me a lot of time.

  2. @jadegray6175 on December 10, 2024 at 7:34 pm

    I’m going to get a small hang gun but I’ve never shot one. I refused to even shoot before watching safely videos. This one was my first of many and I’m glad it was!! Thank you!!!!

  3. @BrodySmith-y2b on December 10, 2024 at 7:34 pm

    That thick run of his with all kinds of jacked up just like his hairline

  4. @shaamabdullaahi6492 on December 10, 2024 at 7:36 pm

    😊😊😊

  5. @OnlyTruthLove on December 10, 2024 at 7:38 pm

    I’m excited for the next video: "How to handle a knife"

  6. @313Z96Z on December 10, 2024 at 7:38 pm

    Making sure your gun is clear is the only time in life it’s actually appropriate to look directly down the barrel. 😅 Just make sure your slide is locked back when you’re checking. That way, you won’t accidentally blast yourself in the face . 😊

  7. @MrZachzippo on December 10, 2024 at 7:39 pm

    Air soft guns can be lethal. You should be using a true training pistol. There are many brands you could choose.

  8. @samyoung5895 on December 10, 2024 at 7:42 pm

    1 Treat every weapon as if you were loaded

    2 Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.

    3 Keep your trigger finger straight along the receiver until ready to fire

    4 Keep your weapon on SAFE until you intend to fire.

    Any questions??

  9. @micahelliott1608 on December 10, 2024 at 7:42 pm

    This is the type of guy who brags about military but never did a dang thing!!

  10. @micahelliott1608 on December 10, 2024 at 7:43 pm

    You don’t need to double rack when an unknown pistol, you cover the the ejection port while charging the weapon simultaneously cathing any projectile and locking it to the rear. Visually inspect to ensure clear.

  11. @skylynnsunshine on December 10, 2024 at 7:46 pm

    This is such a great resource! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, I’m going shooting tomorrow for the first time and have been nervous because I only got to do half of the gun safety class in middle school (we love small towns) due to some personal reasons. This gave me confidence that I can do this and not have anxiety, just be smart and remember your tips!

  12. @cade3743 on December 10, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    Always remove your holster to reholster your gun away from your body

  13. @markedgar3120 on December 10, 2024 at 7:48 pm

    Great video. Really helpful for an absolute beginner like myself. Thanks for sharing.

  14. @kyky7kyle7 on December 10, 2024 at 7:51 pm

    Are the horses targets?

  15. @dral22 on December 10, 2024 at 7:52 pm

    This guy is dope. He knows exactly what he’s talking about, and 99 percent of you should watch this video at least twice so it can really CLICK!. God bless each and every one of you.

  16. @Hrishi-o6i on December 10, 2024 at 7:53 pm

    What’s a cow doing at the range? Not good.

  17. @jackwoods2358 on December 10, 2024 at 7:53 pm

    3:00 he did that like second nature. My god

  18. @AdamSlobodow on December 10, 2024 at 7:53 pm

    I’m an older guy, newish shooter… 68, only couple years shooting…. I’ve seen this video at least 10 times…. and I highly recommend this to everyone!!

  19. @joeschoener1372 on December 10, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    STEP 1 should be SAFETY ON then drop mag.

  20. @peace3885 on December 10, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    Thank you for this video.

  21. @Big_blue952 on December 10, 2024 at 7:57 pm

    Say you hit the target it deflects at a 20 degree angle and deflects of a metal pole on a playground and hits a light post and it falls on a car I know it’ll never happen but is that your fault?

  22. @LiboralExterminator04 on December 10, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    Hot take this guy gets on my nerves
    He’s cocky with guns

  23. @ilovetech8341 on December 10, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    awesome. Been using guns for years now. I went and made sure my guns were locked open on my table. "Guns need to live in holsters."

  24. @mwatts6755 on December 10, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    Good stuff

  25. @FloridaSunsetGamer on December 10, 2024 at 8:01 pm

    Thank you sir for this

  26. @mistaphunkii on December 10, 2024 at 8:01 pm

    Don’t be sorry for the intensity, this is literally a matter of life and death.

  27. @kyky7kyle7 on December 10, 2024 at 8:04 pm

    Wait.. Arent most pistols made with a finger rest

  28. @gallowaykevin8756 on December 10, 2024 at 8:04 pm

    Greetings to you manservant officers of peace people of the only true God and Jesus Christ ! Welcome to the Island 🏝️ of Patmos JAMaiCA with Lord’s Christ Child Jesus business of My Father in Jesus name .❤😊😅😂❤❤❤

  29. @memberwhen22 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    I appreciate your intensity. Firearm accidents are intense, accidental shootings are intense. Whatever it takes to prevent an accident is appropriate.

  30. @abaddon0932 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this as a refresher

  31. @tavejones on December 10, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    I love the intensity of the video! Safety first!

  32. @rebekahslater7316 on December 10, 2024 at 8:11 pm

    nice

  33. @Always_TEDDY on December 10, 2024 at 8:11 pm

    Well I am new .

    Thank you sir for sharing this valuable information with us .

    I am really thankful to you 🥰

  34. @gregarioushorse on December 10, 2024 at 8:13 pm

    Ive never fired a gun in my life, and have begun considering concealed carry. This is a great primer before I take in person safety classes, thank you!

  35. @mikekeltner4291 on December 10, 2024 at 8:13 pm

    My wife is so ignorant of gun safety but thinks she knows it all so you can’t tell her anything.

  36. @Thevapehouseunboxed on December 10, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    If I ever come to the states I want to take your class!

  37. @Chiberia on December 10, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    7:26 a little hard for us to see the finger on the trigger with your left hand blocking the camera / student…

  38. @QueLindoFilms on December 10, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    Love the intensity. Amazing and informative video.

  39. @razoreater616 on December 10, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    When you put the weapon down, you did not lock the slide back… We’re supposed to do that, right?

  40. @Drizztt617 on December 10, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    Is it me or did you not mention the safety? Seems like that should be an immediate mention.

  41. @HarrisonHollers on December 10, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    Aim it at the bad guys. Not yourself or a good guy!

  42. @daniellepreyar on December 10, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    Unfortunately, the people who really need this information are too stupid and ego driven to watch it.

  43. @AutisticVegan on December 10, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    Also treat all airsoft and bb guns as if they are loaded, and wear safety glasses, and especially since they are often of lower quality control. Just a thought.

  44. @shanedaly3153 on December 10, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    My first IDPA comp I DQed because I flagged myself. I have ZERO training and had had little pistol experience to that date. Getting DQed frustrated me like I never would have guessed and it has definitely helped ingrain those safety rules in my brain.

  45. @doncraig3665 on December 10, 2024 at 8:21 pm

    just started my 14 yo grandson this afternoon on shooting…made hime watch this video 3x’s with me before we took a tx22 out in the backyard for beginning lesson. thanks for doing the video on safety concepts that i could reinforce outside!

  46. @TheRTD420 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    I’m not new to firearms and firearm safety, but I am new to this channel and I love it! I’m getting ready to take a buddy of mine who wants to get his first gun and has never fired one out to the range. I’ll definitely be sending a link to this video before I take him to the range. Thanks for posting this video, WPS and Ranger Lovell.

  47. @eallen86 on December 10, 2024 at 8:27 pm

    Why look away after visually inspecting?

  48. @russbeers9613 on December 10, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    It’d great to add a few words about clearing revolvers.

  49. @Tom-uj4uf on December 10, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    My dad taught me these rules when I was a little kid, when I got my first toy gun that wasn’t even an airsoft gun. Finger off the trigger, never point it at anyone. These rules became part of me thanks to my dad and his big emphasis on safety. Jesus, even when I’m holding a banana, I respect the trigger discipline!

  50. @UManiac on December 10, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    love this video and I share it with ANYONE who I take to the range….one question. Where did you get your airsoft gun? Love the slide action which mine lacks
