Very true. Probably more dangerous in the city at nights but in Utah the majority of people have weapons on them. We recognize our right to constituently carry and Utah is a very very polite and kind society. When we go on adventures into the mountains I usually bring my 10mm Kriss Vector in 10mm pistol version or 10mm Glock pistol. We have Bears and cougars/mountain lions a lot of rattle snakes too! (not that a gun helps with the rattle snakes much.). When a bear charges at you or a mountain lion is attacking your kid because he was a little far behind you better be packing a weapon much better than a knife. All of this and Id be more worried about one of my children walking down the big city streets at night verses the woods. Stay protected and armed.

(Internet was "up and running" before I left her) When they wouldn't leave, she blocked the door with her foot, and cracked the door open enough to point her pistol at the guy.

I bought couple of military style M3 shoulder rigs. Over one shoulder, keeps firearm chest high. You can add a magazine pouch or speed loader pouch to the strap. Throw an opened shirt over all, works well concealed. If outdoors, go over your jacket for easy access.

I previously lived as if I didn’t need a gun, but I learned you cannot predict when evil will happen upon you. I feel a sense of guilt when I leave my home without a gun. Carrying a gun shouldn’t be comfortable it should be comforting knowing you can be the protector for yourself and those whom you love.

Another neighbor ran out, he told them, yeah I killed them, then walked back inside to wait for the cops. No remorse, in fact, when he was walking to his house, he stopped and shot the husband several more times. OVER A BASKETBALL NET !!! I agree with you, Mark. armed outside, armed inside.

The deputy that certified our concealed carry class told us that unless he was in the shower he had a gun on his hip.

There are guns out there, like tiny 5 shot 22Mag revolvers and 6 shot 380’s and the like, so you can always be armed, no matter what you’re doing or how you’re dressed.

Just the other day I was walking into a small town antique store and thought as I was exiting my car that I don’t need to put the holster on for this location. Got half way to the door and realized that complacency can turn into a habit. So I turned around and put the holster on and happily went shopping.

"Stray Strapped or Get Clapped" Any wise man!

In my neck of the woods, the transients/homeless/drug addicts/mental issue people have more protected rights than law abiding citizens. Even when they're known problem makers and offenders the police say there's nothing they can do about it. Recently the police came out to check on a problem with one on my property and 2 am. The 911 operator asked if I was armed, I said yes and she informed me that I'd have to take it off and store it before the officer arrived for his safety......... Needless to say I didn't and the officer never mentioned it even though it was plainly displayed on my hip. In the end the officer said "not sure why you called, nothing I can do about it. The elected officials have my hands tied." I live on three acres down a private road, if anyone shows up without an invite, especially at 2 am, they're not here to sell me siding or a magazine subscription.....

Mental illness in this country is a pandemic. My wife is a nurse and tells me about the crazy shit that goes on in our local hospital, every single day. Crazy part is these people aren’t getting treatment. The smallest thing sets them off, into a full blowin rage. I carry to protect those loved ones around me, and those who can’t protect themselves. Stay vigilant my friends.

It’s a lifestyle that one must commit themselves to. Kinda like wanting a loved one to stop smoking, at the end of the day it’s their decision. And one that they hopefully don’t regret someday.

You do it again and I won't hesitate to break it in half." She let him go and continued working as a waitress at the bar. The guy who was embarrassed went to the owner and complained about her. Her boss was sitting behind the bar and saw the whole thing. He told him, you're lucky she didn't hurt you. He was then told to leave and not come back. Mind you, my daughter stands 4 foot 11 and weights about 110 pounds. The guy stood almost 6 feet and had to weigh about 220 pounds, twice her size. She's a few belts away from being a black belt in their world federation Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do. It's the same martial arts that Chuck Norris learned. It's a powerful and highly effective South Korean martial art. She and my wife had the honor of being introduced to their grand master before he passed several years ago. He wanted my wife and daughter to spar with some of the best fighters in the yearly tournaments because he learned my wife, even though she was a purple belt with 2 stripes, knocked out a black belt with one punch to his chest when sparing with gloves. My wife and daughter are both power houses. My daughter accidently broke the ankle of an opponent while sparing with gloves. All she did was block a kick. I'm so proud of them. I don't worry about either of them. They can take care of business without my help for sure. My wife and daughter look like helpless women to a stranger off the street. Up to the point they're violated by the stranger. Then only our Lord and Savior can save them.

Martial arts never help when someone has a gun. It's like taking a spork to a gunfight. A knife would be better than martial arts. In real life martial arts only help in a gym

​@@TherealBrooks-zc5kc well that's what ended up saving my life one day over in Afghanistan. The United States Marine corps wouldn't teach jiu-jitsu in hand to hand combat if it didn't work in "real life.". It can save his daughter from having a grown man do something very bad to her. It's better than nothing and at least his wife and daughter are now able to physically defend themselves if needed mfr

Excellent words of wisdom! I hope that everyone listens to this.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Well spoken & well said. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have

Great points Mark and glad to see you up and running !👍

The biggest problem with kids and others that have that mentality of “ it won’t happen to me” I’d have to say after living on the South Side of Chicago, now in the great state of Florida. It can happen to you! It’s happened to me wrong place wrong time more than a few times. The worlds crazy now. Keep yourself and your family safe. Please carry

I carry 24/7. As I write this comment I’m on the throne watchin videos and my handgun is on my counter next to me and my primary, my 13.7 AR is in my room at the end of the hall and my home alarm is on and both my dogs are with me and the good Lord is with me. I’m always carrying everywhere I go except the courthouse when I need to go there. Semper Paratus~ God bless~

Man listen to this guy he is giving great advice I will make sure that my kids always will carry

if you got a home security system, be sure to establish curfews and activate "armed stay". those few seconds the alarm goes off can save your life.

Good practical advice that I can give to my loved ones every day, never leave home without insurance😊

I have a my EDC on as soon as I get out of bed

I understand....when I left my native Tampa, Florida back in 2011, I headed out west always wanting to see the beautiful mountain ranges and I did. The difference for me was, my mom and dad had passed and all I had was my Father in heaven guiding me the whole way and He did so. You can only do so much for your children. My mother would have not been able to sleep if I had left her while she was still alive, so I stayed with her until the end. Then, out of fear, I stayed an additional 12 years in Florida thinking, "oh well, I've lived here most of my life, I might as well just make the best of it" WRONG. I chose to remain in my fake comfort zone for an additional 12 years after my mom-best friend passed. I do feel everything is divinely timed but if I had it to do all over again, I would have left my comfort zone/prison cell way before 12 years. I was scared but I had to get to the point of being way fed UP and not having anything to lose if I left and so, I did. Did I have challenges? Hell yes. Do I have any regrets about leaving? NO. I did what I felt was right for me. I left my old life behind but please know that when you decide to leave your old life behind, you bring part of it with you when you leave. You still have soul stuff to unload and I still am but now, I SEE it and pray more to God. It helps when you have some life experience behind you and hard lessons learned, then when more hard lessons come, you're not " thrown off the horse"...you stay on the horse and keep riding. This is now where I am. God Bless all in their journeys.

I agree. Inside your home and out.

Never ever go out anywhere without a pistol. I’m ABC everyday for the past 5 years.

Pray for me that I can find the funds to escape from Commiefornia and return to the Constitutional Republic of United States where I can carry when I leave the house. The Constitution does not apply here. 😢

Cannot argue with that bit of advice ......tools are handy and that is what it is !

The color in your face looks good Mark! I know your surgery was a success and God has extended your years to bring us the knowledge we need!

I’m a father too and you are not wrong brother!!! I’m an older man and can’t protect myself like I use too. I carry. Thanks!

Carry everywhere!

AGREED!!! 👍 Carry at all times if possible! 👍

Yes Sir, you and I know it! I recently left ( escaped) from NYC super max after 60 years and now live in a free state. I had to “ brandish” my pistol at least 3 times over the years to “ persuade” criminals to leave me alone. I did not call 911.. I am my own 911!

Great information. I have 2 daughters 25/32. One enjoys guns with me the other feels uncomfortable around them. I took her to gun safety training because I insisted if I was going to to own them. Everyone in the house needed the class. Unfortunately we live in NJ and carrying darn near impossible. “PRAYER REQUESTS NEEDED” my younger who doesn’t like firearms in getting ready to move in her own house and sometimes comes home very late by herself. It’s a good neighborhood but “ the world we live in “. Appreciate prayers for her safety. Thank you and God bless.

God bless you sir. I have daughters as well and we keep them up to date on how to deal with “predators”.

❤ !! We put Our Faith in HEAVENLY FATHER, first and foremost, for our protection/ provisions. It is our GOD given right to protect and defend our loved ones and ourselves. THANK YOU for this Wonderful video!

I can’t agree more with you 👍. Blessings Brother.

Thanks for this important information and Benjamin. God bless you and your family my Brother.

Had me worried for a moment. What the bleep is happening tomorrow? Going out to walk the dog now. Me and Sig.

Yep you're right. It's called clickbait. anything to get people to hit the button

God helps those who help themselves. Most gun thefts are out of vehicles, so don't leave your firearms in a vehicle, EVER! Concealed carry is like anything else, if its important to you you will figure out a way to become use to carrying one. Its kinda like a hide a key, once you have a hide a key you will never lock your keys in the car again :) But know this...... A concealed weapon is also a comforter for you and your family members. Practice and become confident with the weapon you choose, and CARRY IT not stash it.

I had a coworker have a firearm stolen from his truck. I wouldn’t want to have to report that to the cops. I know another guy who keeps a firearm in his car. But he has a gun safe in there to lock it up.

@@flapxjackson Consider this, lots of people are accosted coming out of stores and they have to try to make it back to their vehicle to a gun in a "safe" ! Its like getting use to wearing a watch pretty soon you don't even know its there.... Find a good holster and it will make all the difference in carrying!
