⁉️ 7 Things You Should Do After Buying Your First Gun
A lot of first-time gun owners have no idea what to do next after buying their gun, so I'm here to tell you the 7 things you should do AFTER buying your first gun.
First things first, Learn The 4 Rules of Gun Safety.
Truth be told, you should learn the rules of gun safety before you ever touch a gun much less buy one. These rules should be permanently etched in your brain. Honestly, I could make an entire video about the 4 rules of gun safety and I just might, but in the meantime here are the four rules.
1. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
2. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED.
3. KEEP YOUR TRIGGER FINGER OUTSIDE THE GUARD AND OFF OF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE.
4. BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TARGET, YOUR LINE OF FIRE, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND YOUR TARGET.
These rules are a full-proof way to keep you and the people around you safe from firearm negligence so commit these 4 rules to memory and Never break them.
2. Actually Shoot Your Gun / Learn About your Gun
You know who you are. You buy a gun throw it in a drawer and never touch it again. Don’t do this! The first time you shoot your gun should not be when someone is trying to break into your home. This is not only silly it’s dangerous. A gun is a mechanical tool and mechanical tools don’t always work the way you expect them too.
I hate instruction manuals, the microprint on the borderline translucent paper just frustrates me. However, you must learn about your gun, and the best way to do it is on the internet. More specifically, KZhead. The KZhead gun community has been around for a long time and trust me, there is a video on KZhead about your gun.
3. Get handgun self-defense Training
Shooting a gun is easy, shooting a gun accurately is hard. Shooting a gun accurately under stress is hard as hell. However, finding someone that can teach you in a relatively short period is easy.
4. Learn The Laws
That being said, Learn the gun laws in your state.This will do two things. It’ll keep you out of jail and it’ll make you absolutely hate gun laws, because you will now realize how useless they are keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and how effective they are at making harder for you to own a gun.
5. Get a concealed carry license
When i first got into guns and started carrying, the resources that are available now weren’t readily available then. Now, you have organizations like the USCCA which is basically a one-stop shop for everything concealed carry and self-defense with a firearm with the added value of providing you self-defense insurance.
6. Get Firearm Insurance
Yeah, I literally mean insurance. Put simply, if you are a member of USCCA and you have to use your gun in self-defense, they’ll provide the lawyers, bail you out of jail, and help you throughout the criminal and civil court cases you may likely find yourself in.
I’m a lawyer but I’m still a member of USCCA because the wealth of information, training, and just reassurance that have access to legal minds that focus on self-defense law gives me extra security.

Last but not least.
7. Join Second Amendment Rights Organizations
I don’t care who you join even if it’s just a local group, they all need as much help as they can get. They all are important and we need as many well funded 2A organizations as we can get. So try to make an effort to joint at least one 2A organization.

If I might add one more step here. Never let it go. Dont give it up for any reason and also dont tell anyone you dont trust about it. No one you dont trust enough with your life has no business knowing the quantity or nature of your firearms.
Dude you do realized if the government wants they will find out everything about you. They will no about that mole on your ass. You’re just paranoid

Hell naw can u imagine ur cousin or friend calling being like “ aye can I barrow ur ( whatever u got ) “ I’d be like Ummm good try but that’s a hard NO. Ppl are either just stupid or super impulsive and careless but it’s weird bc not everyone thinks things thru . I always thought that was so bizarre . I always assumed ppl just knew like I knew things that I thought ppl would purposely act dumb bc I couldn’t imagine anyone really being that naive or clueless to life and sure enough apparently there’s ppl out there that really just don’t think it thru. That’s so sad for the rest of us

Don´t let your country take away your right of having firearms... here in Mexico we cannot defend ourselfs... because of two things... people are ignorant about the guns ( you explain it super awesome in your videos) and Politicians! ...thanks... I wish I could enjoy the pleasure and responsbilities of a responsable Gun owner!! keep the good work!!!
Don’t you need to go to Mexico City or sum if you buy a gun
The U.S isn't taking away the right to have guns... Every person from every political spectrum believes in the constitutional right to own a gun. There are many Dems, Independents, Moderates, Progressives, and others that OWN weapons.
Add the cartel in there. Didn't they shoot at civilians smfh

*"7 Things You Should Do After Buying Your First Gun"* Buy your 2nd gun Buy your 3rd gun Buy your 4th gun...
1. Get one for your wife 2. Get one for your mother 3. Get one for your grown daughter 4. Get one for the gun vault attached to the side of your bed 5. Get lifetime memberships for your wife, mother and daughter at the local range 6. Buy ammo in bulk to get the bulk discount 7. Consider learning to do your own reloads

For a gun lover its like eating potato chips, you can't stop at just one.
@@kimthurston9192 yeah, but potato chips are cheaper snacks
My first gun was a Shield 9mm for home defense but ended up concealed carrying it. I didn't plan on buying any more guns after that but now I am on my 3rd gun and have a few more on the wish list!
“Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.” - Lt Col Jeff Cooper (he wrote the 4 rules!) Keep up the good work Colion! Soon we will be quoting you just the same
@Jeffrey Epstein didntkillhimself I mean gun ownership walks the not very fine line between self defence and homicide. It's important to train. You shouldn't go out an buy a gun, leaving it in your house until you need it, you should practice in some way
Grew up on WWF n WWE and a guitar can do alot of damage
Totally agree. Unfortunately I think owning a gun usually makes people more confident in their ability to use a gun than they actually are. People’s perception is that you point and click, like a mouse. Like me owning a guitar, I play like shit. Practice makes perfect for both.
@@ratedyellow3 listen hear bud it cant i know from experience cause i got hit with one and i was still standing brush it of like kane getting hit by one
Playing violent videogames doesnt make you a mass shooter the same way xD
You’re absolutely right man, ever since my first time shooting, i have a different outlook on life. It made me more joyess & calm and reduced my anxiety. Depression was literally spooked off and i felt the need to take hold of my life and become more responsible. now im in the proccess of owning my own firearm!
I know the video is 2 years old, but thank you Colion. I chose to get my LTC and arm myself for sport and recreation with my nephew. However, after talking to many Vets, and sportsman, I understand now how having the ability to defend yourself and your home is very important. I've been a subscriber of yours for some time, and value your content. I appreciate your commitment to 2A rights, and I am a full supporter. Thank you, and God Bless
Looks down the barrel* “Yup. told ya it was unloaded”
Anton io wait, what is that shiny thing... *BOOM*
@@mustangthekitten7765 Eat your Cereal
technically you are actually supposed to look down the barrel after checking the chamber
@G if unkempt and old, yes it is a possibility
"it tasted unloaded"
"Why are you buying guns?" "It's a surprise tool that will come in handy later"
That can mean a lot of things
Being home all day with my toddler... I understood this! Lol
THAT WILL HELP US LATER AHHHHHHH
Damn song popped in my head 😂😂
paul bonaventura They still play Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV? I’m shocked.
I bought my first gun 2 weeks ago. Sig P322, yes I know it’s small but it’s a great training tool for this 58 yr young mom. I have taken two classes so far and will be taking my 3rd class this week. My next possible purchase is the Sig P320 5x Legion that I saw your review on yesterday after trying it out on the range. I’ll continue taking classes. My goal it to get comfortable and good enough to compete. Glad I found your channel.
Four weapon safety rules: 1) Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. (Do not assume that your firearm is unloaded, and do a chamber check when receiving or passing off a weapon) 2) Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. (Be aware of the direction of your barrel at all times, this will keep everyone around you safe) 3) Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. (If you rest your finger on the trigger, there's a much higher chance that you'll negligently discharge your weapon) 4) Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire. (When applicable, not all weapons have a safety mechanism) Sometimes, a fifth safety rule is also referenced: 5) Know your target and what lies beyond and in-between. (Don't get tunnel vision. If you are shooting a target, is there anything behind it? Pay attention to your surroundings) The first four are generally the most accepted weapon safety rules, the fifth one is also thrown in sometimes. Generally, if an accident occurs, it's because someone broke at least two of the safety rules, if not more.
Treat never keep keep

I just bought my first guns at 38 years old. I wasn’t raised with them so I sincerely appreciate you, and people like you, that are creating content to help those of us getting a late start to express our 2nd amendment rights.
What gun did u get?
how's it going? have you got time in on the range? its definitely a fun hobby to get in to
I bought my first gun on my 60th birthday. Gun ranges have the nicest people I ever met.
@@timbuktu8069 That's amazing!! Welcome to the firearm community.
@@aFishTheCompNerd Now all I have to do is learn the right words. Apparently bullets are not amunition and you put them into a magazine not a clip. (Lied to by Hollywood yet again)
I've been around guns all my life, I was 14 when I took the hunter safety course. A few years ago I took self defense and CCW classes a big change in confidence and accuracy. Love the video!!
In Poland we have a convenient abbreviation for gun safety: BLOS (I extend it to BLOSZ). B - from broń (weapon), always treat any of guns as loaded L - from lufa (barrel), never point it at something you're not willing to destroy (unless you have a will to destroy it, then have fun) O - otoczenie (surroundings), be wary of the surroundings of your target S - spust (trigger), keep the finger off it when not willing to fire Z - zabezpieczenie (safety), put it on, especially when not intending to use it in a short amount of time, when need arises or not having an overwatch over it I'm still to young to legally own a firearm out here, but no worries, I'll do my best acquiring a gun permit (because of the specifics of our law it'll be simultaneously on sports shooting and collecting, for more read a Wikipedia page about Polish laws).
Interesting, good share.
This was a good read! Thanks for sharing man! The word for safety is a mouthful! Haha
What do you need a gun for? Nothing. Or animal cruelty, in which case you're a psychopath and definitely shouldn't have a gun.
yeah, BLOS rules! :) pozdro from Poland ;)
Pozdro z Krakowa! ❤
The most dangerous gun is an “unloaded” gun. We have all experienced ourselves or seen someone be surprised a gun was loaded when they were sure it was unloaded. Act accordingly.
Hogh308 no kidding I was hunting and shot a tree with a bolt action rifle
A veteran friend of mine blew his finger off with a hollow point when he put his hand in front of the barrel to take the gun apart to show off some serial number argument with a friend of his. now he has only 4 fingers..yep
Not personaly, but my dad's cousin lost an arm to an "unloaded" shotgun and I've seen patched roofs at work due to them.
@@JakeArtistIV I did the same thing when I was 12. Thankfully it was a bb gun and it only hurt like hell.
Speak for yourself. If you treat every gun like it’s loaded you’ll never be surprised 🤷🏾♂️
Is no one going to mention how this man is a lawyer, or am I the only one who didn’t know this? Also, awesome video👍🏽
Joshua Blash is a lawyer not allowed to have a gun?
Lazarbum, allow me to clarify for you and anyone else who might have possibly not understood the sentiment of my above comment. The purpose of my comment (from beginning to end) was to give props to Colion Noir. I am new to his content, and did not know he was a lawyer, so when he mentioned it in this video, I was pleasantly surprised. This has absolutely nothing to to with him being a gun owner. Now, I’m going to digress since further dialogue would be a waste of my time.
@@virus5867 kind of did.
@@virus5867 Wow. You're one of those kind of people.
@@virus5867 you literally did ask though sooooo....
As a new pistol owner, thank you so much for this video! Looks like it’s 2 years later and it is valuable information.
I have martial arts training. At the beginning of Covid I had a nasty accident and almost lost my foot above the ankle. I wanted to go straight to rifles, but getting confident with 9ml concealed weapons has given me some serious confidence. I feel like I have my ninja status back. Thanks for your eloquent delivery on firearms information!
“Treat the gun as if it is loaded.”
I had it explained as "I don't care if it's in pieces on your cleaning mat, TREAT IT AS IF IT'S LOADED" that was 30+ years ago, it's in my DNA now!
@@SheepdogSmokey I'm glad I'm not the only one who check the chamber even when it's outside the frame! lol
@@SheepdogSmokey - My uncle blew a hole through his roof when he started cleaning his shotgun while loaded. 🤦♂️ At least he wasn't waving it around like a ding dong. 😬
My great-grandfather was shot through the floor by someone cleaning a rifle while he was on the second floor of a building in WW2. It went in his thigh and came out his shoulder. He survived, and he received a purple heart for it. Probably isn't the way most people get that.
@@Uberragen21 Thankfully he followed the most important safety rule and had the weapon pointed in a safe direction! Better to put a hole in the roof than a hole in yourself or someone else! 😳
As a Korean-American who just bought his first gun (shout out to S&W shield!) i can't wait to live up to the roof top Koreans reputations.

That’s what I just bought for my first purchase also! Shield 2.0 9mm
This was a GREAT example of succinct, enteraining and informative content even if I only learned how to vocalize my distaste for uneducated safety violators. I will recommend this video for all new firearm owners.
Just completed my safety class to obtain my LTC. My instructor had a diverse and extensive live fire portion of the class. From .22 cal to Desert Eagle 50. Great experience and can't wait to learn more and become a better shooter and gun owner. I'm located in Western Massachusetts. Id rather have it and not need it. I want to learn all I can and be familiar, comfortable and proficient with my guns. Great vid as always. Thanks for the content. I get a lot of value from your channel.

@@Jg059 well thank you.
personally i dont find skin color relevant
I had never held a gun before.. and was nervous as shit even pulling the slide at the Gun Shop knowing it wasnt loaded..i researched for months before i bought my first gun.. even got training because i wanted to keep my family safe from me and my own negligence. My first weapon was Walther pps M2 for EDC.. a TP9SFX for fun.. and FX9 for the wife and TAC14 for home Defense.. we are already looking to add more to the family. We go the range weekly and clean them together as a family. It honestly a lifestyle change.
This is pretty much me right now. Have been wanting a pistol for awhile, but some events close to home have accelerated my search.
"and was nervous as shit even pulling the slide at the Gun Shop knowing it wasnt loaded" That was me all day on my first day.
I wish I can shoot a gun.In my country I can't own a gun but when I have to use one,at least I know how to use it.I just know what gun that I might use but not shoot it.
They are always loaded.
Not FBI what country?
Excellent information Colion! Please keep the message alive. We appreciate you and everything you do to expand our firearm knowledge base. Well done!
Bro why are you red?
Thank you, for the advise on first time ownership. I just finished my USCCA course today. The blinders have been lifted and glad to be within the community. Thank you once again!
USCCA is the worst you can get it’s not legal defense it’s an trash insurance
I regret to inform you that I *WAS* one of "those" people who said the only people who need a gun are law enforcement and the military. My politics have evolved in the last few years, and times are changing. A couple of weeks ago I went to buy my first gun and told them I'm a 65-year-old gun virgin and I felt like I was out looking to buy my first car but I didn't have a drivers license and had never been behind the wheel. They encouraged me to take a gun safety course, the same course that is required for a carry permit in VA, so I'm taking the course in 2 days and then I'll buy a gun. In the meantime, I'm watching as many useful videos as I can find, including this one. I'm already looking forward to lots of range time for practice.
Thats great never to late to learn i wish you good luck!
Walther PPQ has the best trigger out of the box, very reliable and highly accurate. Also, has one of the best grips. EDIT: Walther has improved their lineup with the new PDP series. Unfortunately, they're not planning on a PDP 45 so get the PPQ 45.
@@thisismagacountry1318 I like the P22 personally.
Since my original post, I bought a Glock 19. The instructor of the gun safety class I took carries a Glock 19 and that's also what we used in class, so it was the first gun I ever fired. Two days after the class, I went back and rented several guns and fired them, but I came back to the G19. The employee at the rental counter and the salesman I talked with both carry that gun. I'm planning to take another class for guidance and practice, and I submitted the Concealed Carry application to my city courthouse. I won't carry until I'm more proficient and comfortable. I have A LOT to learn, but I'm glad to be on this path. #backtheblue
Welcome! Go to a range that rents guns and try a few out. It’s like going to Enterprise before buying your first car. Everybody and their brother is a salesman for their favorite brand&model but ultimately it’s what fits you and what you enjoy shooting
I used to be anti-gun until I started seeing all the violence taking place in 2020. Now, I carry and am in complete support of gun ownership. I was proven wrong. Things CAN still go bad and put you in a situation where you need a gun.
Your safety is your responsibility. I always believed this to an extent, but now it's stronger than ever. The Police doesn't care unless it's a murder, and even then they like things to go cold. Defend yourself and your granted freedom, please.
Welcome
what made you anti gun in the first place? what made u think you didnt need a firearm in the beginning? glad you saw the light
Now learn about how stupid the NFA
Hey, we share the same uncommon last name...lol. shalom
I knew I needed to shoot my recently acquired first handgun and get some lessons, and this got me off the couch and out to the range. Thanks!!!
Great video. I shared with 3 new gun owners that I know who have bought their gun vut never shot it. Similar to me. My gun sat in the drawer for over 5 years before I took it to the range.
Shiesh who buys a gun and doesn’t immediately go shoot it man I was itching waiting those 10 days
@angel dominguez I get to pick up my M&P 9 compact on Thursday and I'm heading straight to the range to put 200-300 rounds through it
Colion Noir is by far my favorite gun rights activist. Everything he says just makes sense, and ive been following him for years.
I just found him, his videos are very informative.
i love how these days always saying things that make sense is a pretty rare thing
look up warrior poet, hes good to.
Well, the cool thing is that he's a lawyer so he knows exactly what he's talking about
5th rule of gun safety: Never let Colion sing.
I don't know. He knocked "My Heart Will Go On" out of the park on karaoke night.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen
Hey man thats bomb singing
😂
there's a way you can make most ppl stop talking: it involves a mike and a loudspeaker pointed at your target; as they speak, their words will come back to them a split-second later; this will slowly derail their brain and most ppl just end up incapable of talking; i say this cuz he was listening to music while trying to sing it
Colion, thank you for helping the new people out understanding how to be safe, careful, and responsible, well done Sir
Awesome video. New gun owner here and thank you for this video!
A new gun owner accidentally killed his 14 yr old son at my local range . And now he's trying to sue the range .... it pisses me off
Training, training, training ... accidents like this happen when people haven't had Gun Safety drilled into them. Too many Rambo Cowboys, and not enough common sense. Which is why videos like this are important for New Gun Owners. To new Hand Gun Owners, I would recommend a Conceal Carry course even if you have no intention of Conceal Carry. They cover various aspects of Safety, Responsibility, and the Legal Considerations. All good knowledge to have.

Guns are like Schrodinger's cat. The cartridge is both existing and non existing until the firing pin observes it.
New York gun law right there. If you have your gun in your backpack and the magazine is in the same backpack, even if it is in another pocket, it is considered a loaded gun by the law. Even if you know 101% there is no bullet in the gun. Disgusting.
No it’s not. If I clear it, it’s unloaded.

I'm sure there are slot of us experienced multiple gun owners that need refreshing training! Good job! Thanks
I'll never forget when I was teaching my nephew gun safety. And when I went to load a round in my ar the bolt dropped and the gun went off. Come to find out trigger was faulty. Everyone was safe because I followed the basic safety rules. We both learned a important lesson that day.
Ya that can happen with a AR, keep it pointed in a safe direction, also, the older ones didn't have the strong enough spring on the pin so when it slapped forward it "could go off" on releasing the bolt forward the firing pin could strike the center, happened to me while shooting down range and got a double shot with just one trigger pull! but in my case it was because the ammo didn't have enough gas to reset the sear on the trigger so it followed it back and hit the pinn again.
@@eniklisnihm4565 ya the sear was out of spec on my rifle and the spring could have also been a issue . I replaced with good nickel boron from psa never had another issue .

Thank you for all your videos, Colion, and for the public service you are providing! You’ve inspired me to go out and find my local gun organizations and I just joined my local gun range. Keep America Tactical.
3:47 I completely agree. Shooting a new gun either before or after purchasing it is the best way to get used to it. The feel of the grip, the weight, the recoil, the action. My family does this exact same thing. We like to call it the gun's "Baptism by Fire". It's also a great way to break in a brand new firearm. Or identify an issue with a used firearm.
Badass training title.

Appreciate it not many people out here tryna spread the knowledge like you fam
The good thing about this pandemic is it opened lots of people's eyes and is showing us to not rely on anybody including the government for anything not even your safety because when seconds count the police are minutes away. Stay safe every one.

Hours or days away. Unless your a law abiding citizen exercising your god given rights.. then they are seconds away to take you down.
When I first started carrying it took me a solid year to figure out what clothes to wear, what holster works best for me, how I should carry said gun (of which I have 4). Its a lifestyle change.

@@jefferydellinger7422 yep. Finding ammo is like finding needle in a haystack.
If somebody tells you “ i told you, it was unloaded” just tell them “i’m glad, imagine doing two stupid things at once”
I'm on a roll for learning everything there is about Handguns and self defense. CCW's and more. Tactics and proper hand gun handling that I didn't know before. But even before holding a gun I had good common sense. But I'm feeling more comfortable yet still cautious while holding one now after watching a lot of videos and in house training. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for this video, now I have goals to accomplish. 😊
My husband has been shooting since he was a young kid. Then joined the army. He taught me very well how to handle a gun. But before we shot a real gun he taught me with a water gun. Trigger discipline, no flagging, keeping barrel down range. And everything. Then I upgraded to a airsoft gun. Same lessons.. I then upgraded to his 9mm pistol and then his AR-15.. now I can shoot his kar98k Mauser.. just in a short period with my husband he is surprised and says it's like I am a pro. :). I wanted to learn. And he taught me very well. I am now confident with a firearm and the number one thing he stressed more than anything was safety!
Awesome teacher
I have a similar history as your husband. My son's are 3 and 6. Looking to start teaching them, but I never thought of the water gun training! Great idea.
@@Toimu13 even toy guns can teach the kids trigger discipline. Where to aim and not aim. Show them how to handle a toy gun with respect and then judge how they do from there. It takes time.
As children we all love to imagine and play. I remember playing with toy guns, water guns, lazer tag, and evently airsoft and pellet guns as if they were real. Finger off the trigger, never point at anyone or at yourself, always checking if they were chambered and always keep them clean. Safety is #1 🇺🇸
My 3yr old grandson loves his nerf guns and I'm teaching him "gun safety" as age appropriate as possible.
Got my first guns over the weekend, joined the NRA, and will have to wait until after this outbreak to do gun safety and a conceal carry classes. USCCA will be next. Thank you Colion for this channel!!
You can do "dry fire" exercise to get more comfortable with controlling your firearm until then. There are a lot of good instructional videos on KZhead.
Stevarooni leave the nra and go to guns of America
Anonymous Fan i read something today that they will open gun ranges soon. Could just be rumor but i dont know. Keep an eye on that. Welcome btw.
Welcome to the community. Be safe, stay healthy.
Leave the NRA, Join Gun Owners Of America. They actually protect your rights.
Colion you are the man I really appreciate what you do and the info you bring out to the people thank you very much we need more people like you keep going strong brother and God bless you💯👍👍👍
My grandfather once told a gun waiver in our hunting party who was very reckless with his gun while setting in his recliner. All of us said at once, watch where your pointing that gun. About 7 of us in room. The gun waiver said but it's not loaded. My Gramps said, those are the kind that kill you ! I will never forget that true statement.
my dad worked as a guide for elk hunts for a while, had a gal (some rich assholes wife) fumble fucking around with a 30-30 in the back of the truck. he told her knock it off and stop playing with it when she said the infamous "it's not loaded" line, no sooner does she finish saying it when BLAM she blows her big toe right the hell off. some times you can't fix stupid, and sometimes stupid fixes itself
Dick Cheney was in your hunting party lol
An empty gun killed someone in my company in the Army in Germany.
Empty guns kill and injure idiots, the 10 commandments of gun safety were drilled into my head so long ago I can't remember how young I was when I learned them
Empty gun = false suicide..back in 86 someone's I knew thought the same thing.RIP to my schoolmate
My son was homeschooled Freshman year of High School. One of his classes was the MFL Basic Pistol Course. If only our Public schools had useful classes.
Good for you. That is the way to be a father. The three Ps of being a man: protect, prevent, and provide. Guns help with all 3.

I’m a new time good owner. I learned about different types of guns and the safety of them MONTHS before even got my CPL or thought about doing a purchase. I have a ruger security 9, and a Canik TP9 elite. I’ve only put about 75 rounds on my canik. Due to the fact that I just brought it yesterday lol. But I’ve been to the range using other guns. Now I’m really excited about learning house to active moving targets. I also joined the USCCA before getting my CPL. They are AMAZING.
A nice concise guide for new firearm owners! Thank you good sir for the excellent advice!
Great info. I'm a new civilian gun owner, these laws are a bit crazy. I'm doing my best to educate my wife she's a new gun owner. We've already been to range two days after our purchase.
I turn 50 in three weeks. I have shot real guns since I was 10. My best advice: Always follow the rules of gun safety, get trained, practice often. There is literally nothing like the feeling of knowing you have the ability to defend yourself and your family. And yes, these gun laws make it massively more difficult for us to exercise as basic human right. Anyway, welcome to the club! Don't be afraid to ask others for advice, pretty much every shooter will gladly help you out.
GJ my man. Welcome to the party. We don't have cookies though. Bloomberg banned those ;)
No Name shooting as many rounds as possible isn’t necessarily feasible rn with the scarcity of popular ammo
Welcome to the club. My advice to you is, after all this slows down a bit, and things return to normal, don’t get complacent. Get your wife and yourself to the range as often as you can. Stock up on some ammo for next time, because there will be a next time. Take it seriously, but have fun with it at the same time at the range. Be safe, follow the safety rules and good luck.
Welcome. And remember, you are a citizen more than a "civilian". This country was fought for and won by mostly civilian citizens. Citizens have rights.
I’m 16 and finally have an excuse to convince my mom to get one. Edit: as tiger king taught us, there is no such think as an unloaded gun. Mag out, slide back, visual check, check again.(after that assume it’s loaded)
The main one, IMHO, is keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target and you're ready to shoot. Adhere to that rule, and you'll be more likely to win the mega lotto than to have a ND, as your gun going off without your finger touching the trigger is exceptionally rare. Ultimately the best safety is the one between your ears. Master that one, and everything else fall into place.
Wise words of wisdom!!!!
And wait until you're old enough to legally buy your own. Lots of people have gotten into trouble buying a gun for someone else who couldn't legally buy one even though they had no intention of criminal activity.
i live in Germany and the only freedom i have with 16 is to drink beer and wine now im 19 and still can't own a gun i need to be fucking 25
@@dominikchism3289 well it probably doesnt have a clip it probably has a magazine, and almost every gun has the opportunity to have one in the chamber
Thanks for all the great advice! This is information every gun owner needs.
I adore and admire your attitude and instruction style. You speak to everyone’s knowledge level and understanding. Thank you for your passion and efforts to protect our constitutional rights; and, spread awareness for responsibilities of gun ownership.
Guns put a smile on your face. That is a fact. I'm so glad I pursued my life long dream of getting a rifle in Finland. Nothing better than extreme long range 22lr shooting, long range hmr hunting and just hunting in general, from magpies or grouse all the way up to moose. Especially with the 22lr side, I finally found my purpose and something I am good at. Nothing cooler than hitting a 1.5inch plate at 300 meters a few times in a row. The best part about Finnish gun laws, suppressors are readily available for a very affordable price.
I get it, had one as a kid. Still, my jam is the revolver and the pump shotgun.
A moose with a .22?
@@dontrend5956 .22LR has been used to kill just about every living thing that moves on this planet as one point or another. There was even a story some years ago about an elephant in Thailand that was killed with rifles chambered in .22LR. Granted, that was an act of illegal and inhumane poaching, and not proper hunting, but it still proves that it is feasible to take even moose with .22LR. I personally wouldn't try doing that, especially not against an angry bull moose, though.
I was just here for the tips, but he straight up spitting fax

Totally agree !
love all the pointers in the video, keep up the great content.
New gun owner and new subscriber. Thank you for this video!
I don't even own a gun, but learning is important
So important! I am starting to see how uninformed I was and it has taken away so much fear. I think that’s a common thing in the country: people don’t have knowledge of firearms and or see themselves as a potential victim vs seeing firearms as a way to protect yourself. When that perspective switched for me, I now see how these gun control law/emotional stories work so well when people are in fear/uneducated. We need more education, so props to you for looking to learn!
I was raised with guns, I lived on 80 acres and we had bears, cougars and wolves on our property. I had a gun on my hip since I was 10 years old. That feels like a lifetime ago now that I’m 30 but it’s time to start carrying again, concealed this time and for protection against different animals
My mom with a spoon
damn, you lived in the montana/wyoming/idaho area?

@@swampaids *Hesperia
Yes!!! Exactly I felt the same and made the decision to start carrying again 3 years ago... Blessings to you and stay safe!!! ✨️🙏🏿✨️
5:57 I can see the passion in your eyes as you articulate your opinion and statements. Thank you for this video.
As an NRA certified Instructor, I wish my instruction could be as comprehensive and perfect as this one is. Hats off to you.
Why did NRA licence you then ?
🙋yeah I was one of those people that said they would not carry on a daily basis. Well things change and so did I . Thanks Colion for the great info 👍
Same here. I figured just having easy access to a revolver was good enough, especially in an open carry state, but thugs don't need to know I'm packing.
Welcome. Now vote against anti gun politicians.

There's even videos on how to build your own, no waiting period either.
"Your life is worth at least $30-$50“ That had me cracking up. And then I started thinking about the 20% off coupons from Harbor freight 😆

Welcome! It's already been said, but I'd like to thank you too. Thank you for being responsible, and for seeking out the knowledge of other gun owners. Just like buying any tool you are unfamiliar with, getting a gun requires a conscious effort to learn how to use it (even just handle it) safely. I very much respect your decision to get the best defense tool available. Now research, learn, practice, and have fun! Welcome!

i just bought an HK VP9sk in grey with black slide, this is my first gun and i have been shooting as many siular guns to narrow down the right fitment, for me the Walther PDPf was a close second decided a few extra bucks is worth the high end reputation, the PDPf is still great and likely the second purchas, thanks Noir for your simple and clear content. appreciate the humor 1000%

"ACTS" & "PROVE" for the win! Assume it's loaded Control the muzzle Trigger discipline (Finger off!) See that it is unloaded "ACTS" Point the firearm in a safe direction Remove all cartridges Observe the chamber Verify the feeding path Examine the bore "PROVE" SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING!!!
Just found your channel the other day and have watched a handful of your vids so far. Great content, thanks for all the knowledge.
I live in Texas and have wanted a gun for a few years, since my dad brought me along to the local gun range when I was in high school. My husband doesn't necessarily like guns, but wants to be able to protect me if need be, plus, his parents both have firearms. But I also am a housewife/homemaker, and I plan to homeschool our future kids, so it would make both of us feel better knowing I have a firearm at home to protect myself/the family while he's at work. You have a new subscriber; thank you for this video. I hope to be a licensed gun owner someday soon.

Great advice. Thank you. There are two things I might add... 1. As mentioned in the video, don’t underestimate the effect that fear and stress can have on your ability to effectively defend your family and home. I was awoken late at night and confronted by a very stressful and unexpected situation. Before that night I considered myself pretty cool under pressure, so I was surprised by how quickly I was transformed into a feckless idiot. It was a nice ‘practice test’ and I got a C+ at best.. That won’t happen again. 2. Educate yourself about what happens AFTER you use a gun to protect yourself. Otherwise you’ll probably be unprepared for the shit storm that follows. It’s important to know what to do/say when the police arrive, understand potential legal impacts, community backlash, etc. There are a bunch of videos and advocacy groups that can educate you.
For the second point check out Ander Branca's youtube as well as his book The Law of Self Defense
What happened ? I'm curious.
I was 60 when I first got into the sport. #1 Professional training on the basics of your gun, safety, and use at a range. It makes all the difference. Training gives you respect for the firearm and you will become proficient must faster. And it will be fun.
I was lucky, I signed up for a gun safety class at the local shooting range. At the class, I bought a gun, USCCA insurance, and signed up for another gun operation and safety class. A week later I applied for concealed Carry permit here in Florida. I also joined the shooting range as a member and fire my new gun twice a week. EVERYTHING in this video is on point. I started out wanting to defend myself and turned out learning a lot and having fun!
I laugh when they get pissed about the 3day wait 🤷🏿♂️.
What state has that crap? Mine doesn't
@@trevorvolcom7 my bullshit state of maryland has a 7 day wait on handguns. Also thats after you get a handgun license. not a license to carry just to own a handgun.
Here in Washington, it's 10 business days for handguns and semi auto rifles
In Texas, I bought my first handgun thee months ago. I waited 10-15 minutes for background check. Of course, that was after I spent a month and half researching and shooting guns to see what I liked and worked the best for me.
@@allen_p its been over a week for me 😢
I know for most gun owners this is mostly common sense, but its still nice to brush up how important these things are even for experienced gun owners. And obviously extremely important for new gun owners. I greatly appreciate these kinds of videos. I want people to understand guns, not fear the unknown or to make simple mistakes that can take someone's life. God bless man.
