So his is wife

An older friend told me this: when someone older shares their wisdom, listen close. Eat the meat, spit out the bones. You don’t have to agree with everything, but at least consider what they have said. Pay attention. Think about it all. Act accordingly.

I’ve had a fire extinguisher near my bed since hearing his advice about 4 years ago

I'm pretty sure I wiped out a whole pot of coffee watching this video ☕ Getting in a hour's worth of wisdom and conversation with the both of y'all was well worth the time spent. THANK YOU!!!!

Only one cup, but I drank it slow. Couldn't find anything I'd want to debate with Mr. Smith, especially carrying a defensive pistol without a round in the chamber. Most people, especially as they get older, are going to have enough trouble reacting to a life threatening situation with one IN the chamber. Having to rack one in will almost surely result in rendering the pistol worthless.

Interesting video. When I began the police academy in ‘68 we were taught accuracy w/our revolvers (bulls eye shooting) but not how to survive a gunfight. Following my 1974 gunfight w/three armed robbery suspects our range training changed, and we were trained how to win a gunfight. I was damn lucky to have come out on top that night, but I’m also a Viet Nam combat vet so that may have had something to do w/it.

I've always loved salty old guys who don't sugar coat wisdom. Clint is a valuable source of wisdom I've enjoyed for decades. So was his mentor Col Cooper.

Clint is one of those few men you can both love & respect.

Clint Smith is a national treasure. Thanks!

I love this format and the longer video. Clint seems like a guy with lots of stories.

I wish I had better words. I love this guy. He provides unique views to make you think outside the box. He needs to do voice overs.

I could sit down and talk to Clint for hours. I've known quite a few remarkably intelligent people, but only 2 genuinely wise people and Clint is both. I'd love to spend a month up there at the ranch and take all his classes. This man has lifetimes of knowledge to teach.

I'd love to spend a few months learning as much as I can from Clint. Big fan of Clint.

I’m late to the party but wanted to say thank you for the video. I carry whenever and wherever legal…. and while at home. I have a membership with a local range that also offers classes that also cover the legalities for carry and use of a firearm in the state I live in. The very first time I’d come across anything related to Clint Smith was an article in a gun magazine. At the time (21years ago) I was looking for a holster for my first pistol. In the article I read and have carried a quote from him. “Carrying concealed is meant to be comforting, not comfortable.” Thank you both for all that you do.

Holy crud, that was good... An hour well spent! It helped refocused number one: "Mindset".

Thank you for this priceless information. Love you guys for it.

Awesome interview

Brian, great video! Thanks for making it.

This was special. Loved reading his articles.

Thank you very much for posting this video I truly enjoyed listening to you guys.

Thank you both for your time and efforts in sharing your knowledge. It's important in ways beyond what any of us know...

Man I love listening to you guys...I'm at work right now listening to a playlist of training general discussion and model specific for what I carry/have assembly cleaning and repairing videos. But this is one of my favorites. I couldn't imagine not having started taking at least one training course every 6-8 months since I bought my first firearm 12 years ago.

My pistol training has always been the same M-F lots of dry fire and drawing the gun. Come Saturday I fire around 100-250 rounds of 9mm and 200-400 of 5.56x45mm. I have been doing this for 11 years.

I listened to the short version of this talk and I liked it so much I will listen to the full version. It's put in my watch list now.

Thank you. We need this wisdom.

Thanks Bryan and Clint, what great commen sense advise.

Awesome video

Thank you Clint for all you have done to train Americans, thank you for your service to our Country and Law Enforcement. USAF 67-68.

Clint is the real deal. I wish I could spend time with him. I could use a mentor in my life. I have been on my own since my mother died in high school. Went in the Army, Raised 3 men myself, and I know I did good, but I wish I could have some modern training for a disabled person like myself. It is different when your disabled. Things have also changed in the last 16 years.

Very practical way of thought on primary functions, life happens good and bad, the real danger is a lack of awareness. The difficulties ahead must be dealt with intelligently because it will be in short supply, your future as well as others may depend on your clarity and focus both of which develop through training.

We love you Clint and know that you care about us. Thanks Clint.
