12:31 Yep. I live in a 2A sanctuary county in the Florida panhandle (where it's traditionally very conservative compared to down south in the peninsula) where the sheriff has gone on record to say he's very 2A. A couple of years ago my friend's elderly 70 year old mother was stopped for speeding. The deputies saw that she had a concealed carry permit--a document from the STATE government authorizing her to carry a firearm, though it was a right that she did not exercise--and they pulled her out of her car, and they proceeded to search her car for a gun she did not carry. A year later a deputy stopped me for a tail light. He saw my concealed carry permit (I wasn't flashing it around; it just happened to be right behind my driver's license), and demanded to see my gun so that he could run the numbers on it. Just because you live in a "2A sanctuary", do NOT assume that the local cops are going to be friendly with you JUST because you have a permit issued by the state government. And don't believe everything a sheriff says. They're basically just politicians with a badge.

The same in New Jersey, if not worse. In New Jersey, the State Police not only write the regulations that govern the sale of ammunition, but they also instruct gun stores on the law and inspect their records. Until recently, under the clear language of law passed by the Legislature, the *only* form of identification for the purchase of handgun ammunition was a Firearms ID Card (which does not have you picture on it but does have your fingerprint). A couple of years ago I went to buy two boxes of .38 Special at a well established and old dealer, but they refused to make the sale because (although my Firearms ID Card was a valid) that (contrary to the law) . When I showed them my driver's license with photo, they could not make the sale the sale because that the addresses did not match (putting aside that there were 30 years between the issuance of the two IDs, the Firearms ID Card is required to have my street address and my driver's license has my post office box address for the receipt of motor vehicle notices and mail is not delivered to my street address). Yes, the police make up their own laws in New Jersey. Just like when local police arrested a guy carrying Critical Defense and charged him with illegal possession of hollow point ammunition when the State Police had ruled that Critical Defense is *not* hollow point ammunition. Other example of police idiocy in New Jersey about gun laws abound.

@@k_enn We definitely hear you when you say NJ laws are bad. You are absolutely right. BUt I don't think you comprehend the sheer fucking magnitude of absurdity in the Illinois law. There were two public hearings over the past three days regarding clarifications on the ban. THe problem is that the law is almost 100 pages long, contradicts itself in several places, is cripplingly vague and overbroad, uses legally undefined terms and language and fails to define much of it, and is crushingly unclear. Some of the choice examples from the first day of questioning: "The law states that the capacity limit for a shotgun is 5 rounds. But because many lengths of shotgun shell exist, from one and a quarter inch all the way up to three and a half inch, a gun rated to hold three 3-1/2" shells, limited as such for the purposes of legal hunting, and theoretically well within the limit, may hold as many as seven or eight 1-1/2" shells, which makes it a prohibited item and potentially a felony to possess. When we refer to the ISP Q&A page, the section simply refers back to the text of the law, which fails to elaborate. What length of shell does the ISP use to determine the capacity of a tube magazine, and by extension, whether or not someone is in possession of, or potentially even illegally transporting, an unregistered assault weapon?" "The law does not govern shotgun shells." "There is a lot of confusion and consternation regarding the handgun magazine limit of fifteen rounds, more than that 15 excludes the most common handguns on the planet, but more because of the secondary definition of a high capacity magazine as any magazine for a handgun which can be readily converted to accept more than fifteen rounds. There have been different conflicting rules regarding removable baseplates and widely commercially available and even 3D printed extensions. Has the ISP decided whether the legality of a magazine will be determined by the possession of an extension, the commercial availability of an extension, the theoretical possible existence of an extension which can hypothetically be created in eight hours by a skilled machinist in a well equipped machine shop, as per the definition of "readily" used by the ATF, for a given handgun magazine, or some other guidance?" "That will be up to local courts to decide." "If someone has an airsoft gun which has a foregrip on it which can theoretically be attached to a firearm, does that need to be registered?" "That's up to the county." "So we were repeatedly told that WIldlife Service and the State Police were going to establish a list of exempt guns for sporting purposes, as such a list is provided for in the bill, but is neither present in the bill nor listed in the Q&A. The final date is almost here and they haven't started yet. They haven't even published a date to begin discussion. When can we expect that list?" "Please refer to the text of the bill."

@@009013M3 New Jersey is every bit as bad and illogical. For example, until very recently, a .22 caliber rifle with a tubular magazine (think of the ones at carnivals that load through the buttstock) that held more than a certain number of rounds was an illegal "assault weapon." Same issue, while it may be legal if you only consider .22 LR, it would be illegal if you count .22 short, or CB caps. Get it wrong, do 10 years. Ever hear of a Colt Revolving Rifle (from the Civil War era)? Guess what -- they are considered to be destructive devices like a bomb. Remember those air powered BB guns at carnivals that you used to try to shoot out the red star? Guess what. Air guns are considered firearms in NJ and these carnival BB guns are classified as "machine guns" the same as an M240. Do many more than 10 years for that. Oh, and don't get me started on slingshots. Under N.J. law, they are prohibited weapons and you will do 5 years.

“Obsolete” usually means that it is no longer produced or commonly used. 30-30 ammo is still factory produced, available as a chambering in new factory rifles, and still works as effectively in specific environments on intended game as any modern equivalent. The 30-30 provides performance within a set of parameters that include low recoil, long barrel life, high tube magazine capacity, and >1000ftlbs energy @200yds with accuracy over iron sights. To produce a more modern cartridge to those parameters using modern powders will bring you back to near 30-30 ballistics, as evidenced be a number of modern straight-walled attempts in the same caliber. The 30-30 is still here because it might be old, but nowhere close to obsolete. Many hunters still use 30-30 effectively to harvest deer each year in the woods. When coupled with the beautifully balanced and quick aiming Win 94 or the sturdy and reliable Marlin 336 in the hands of a rifleman, that good ol’ 30-30 will put any meat with 200yds in the freezer.

Its funny that 30-30's capabilities was brought up as 7.62x39 is almost a ballistic twin to 30-30 (within similar bullet weighs). Not that 7.62 makes it obsolete but more the russkies basically just made a rimless 30-30.

@@slimjim2584 Yes, and there is also the .30 Remington as a rimless equivalent, but the Rem model 8 that introduced this cartridge was not as well received by hunters. The 5 shot capacity is not bad, but is less, and there is no option for tube magazines. Box magazines were seen as a disadvantage to load and unload in the field by the grumpy old timers. The big advantage of .30Rem, like the 7.62x39, was that you can use the pointed bullets, so the ballistics could have been better in practice if it could take advantage of a better BC. However, at about 100yards, the deer did not seem to know the difference. The .308 Savage and the .308 Win gave better performance and found adoption in the military, which led to the obsoletion of the .30Rem. As far as I know, they stopped making factory .30Rem over 30 years ago. That the 30-30 is still alive and the .30Rem is quickly becoming history shows a bit of the difference between active and obsolete. Of course echoes of the .30Rem can be heard in the 6.8SPC that was developed from the .30Rem case.

​​​@@slimjim2584You mean 7.62x51R, that's 30.30 in America. 7.62x39 is a intermediate cartridge, most common in AK47 and SKS. Watch Paul Harrell's presentation on cartridges,he brings up the fact that 7.62x51R is 30.30 and 7.62x51 is .308 Win.

This is not just about guns and firearms owners. These are lessons about LIFE. Can't wait to see the long version. Thanks, Paul.

Great video , Paul ! You have never put out a video that I didn't feel "a little more the wiser", after watching. Thanks for being "you", and having this incredible channel.

Thanks for the informative video, I am in Canada and many of your points are on point regardless. One of our club members was charged with transporting a loaded firearm, in Canada you cannot have a loaded firearm in your vehicle even on the way to a range. You can have a Loaded magazine, as long as it is not Touching, inserted or tethered or otherwise attached to a firearm. The member had decided to go home and had a magazine still full but decided he would deal with it at home and threw it in with the rifle rather than in a separate bag, He got pulled over for speeding and the cop noticed the rifle bag and ask to look, the gun bag was in plain view and not locked so he could not really refuse, as soon as the officer saw the mag was in with the gun and had ammo in it, the firearm was seized and charges laid. By the way, the speeding charge was never laid and he claims he was not speeding... But he was on the road from a rifle/pistol range... The club recommends that all members lock cases and say no when asked if an officer can "Have a look" as a locked case would require a warrant and there would be no probable cause to get one.

Did you know comments help make videos more visable? Sometimes, I leave one even though I have nothing to add just because I want more people to see the video. Nice work Paul.

I kept clicking on the second video. Thinking that it was going to be the long version and then I finally clicked on the top video which was the extremely short version. I want the long version I love listening to Paul. He helps me through my day.

I remember in 2011 Taurus had a new Judge they were unveiling at SHOT show that was in 28 gauge. And of course ATF put the brakes on that. Gun laws are just ridiculous.

Paul is 100% right about his point on police officers. I've been an officer for 5 years and it seems I have to go over using the bolt release instead of the charging handle and what a forward assist is actually for for guys that have been officers since I was in the 1st grade. There is alot of firearms inexperience among the LE community to say the least. There are also plenty who would be plenty happy to lie because you have upset their ego. Some of our stereotypes are indeed well earned.

In your experience how often do cops have to requality with the use of their duty pistol during their career?

I once knew a teenager who trained in our gym. He went on and on one night about how the SIG P226 was his absolute favorite pistol. Well that was my duty pistol at the time so I brought mine in to show him. He got really weird then, almost wouldn't touch it. Then he admitted that he only knew about the gun from a video game and he actually passed on some real-world experience because he liked the video version better. He was (is) actually very smart but ... wow. Strangely, I knew his family and he had a highly accomplished shooter/gunsmith in his family I knew well but he preferred games to reality. I mean _I_ like the games too but c'mon.

😂😂😂 3:41 excellent “Starman” reference The Dude abides ❤

Massad Ayoob told a story about a police detective who was a bit lazy when it came to routine gun maintenance. He would periodically open his revolvers cylinder without removing the ammo and spray the weapon with a cleaner/lubricant product. He responded to an armed robbery in progress call and got on scene just in time to meet the perpetrator coming out of the crime scene. The robber raised his weapon but the detective was quicker, aimed at the suspect and pulled the trigger on his duty weapon which misfired. The bad guy thinking he was shot by the detective dropped in his tracks and upon regaining consciousness found himself unscathed and under arrest. It seems that the cleaner/lubricant the detective used had leeched into the primers of his duty ammo and effectively killed the primers causing the officer to have six duds loaded in his duty weapon. Talk about a lucky one shot stop. Needless to say the detective changed his maintenance protocol after that.😂😂😂

This is not super related but it is interesting. I once had a friend that had so little exposure with firearms (not none but she had only rarely even seen guns on tv) that she had to ask me how many guns I keep concealed in my jacket. I told her "only one...?" and she seemed somewhat relieved. Long story short, she didn't know you could reload a gun in the field when you ran out of bullets. This must have come from seeing so many tv characters throw their guns down when they ran empty. I suspect, based on many other interactions with people, there are also a number of people that believe that bullets explode like RPGs and various other misunderstandings. I put no judgement on these people. I just think it is interesting.

Wow😆 I suppose if nobody told you and every single movie star you seen throw them away, you'd think it was correct.

That Slick Willy impression was on point.

25:35 That was smooth.

I'm glad that somebody noticed that old things are not meant to be thrown out.

Additional note on point 3. Different laws in different jurisdictions can use the same words but define them very differently. Washington and California both have "Assault Weapons Ban" laws but what counts as restricted or banned in each state is very different. Also, there are at least 26 states with some form of permitless carry law BUT many of them have restrictions such as it only applies to residents or doesn't apply to individuals under age 21. Read enough to be sure you know what they mean.

One of my favorites was the lead-in to point eight. Not only are you considerate enough to change scenery for those who may want to skip through that point, you also explain why for the bozos who will question you later. Always considerate and thorough, thinking ahead. 👍🏼

Watching movies and playing video games doesn't make you an expert, watching Paul's videos does. You do the math.

Thanks Paul. I really enjoyed this top ten. Lots of good points that every firearms owner should know.

Point One: I LOVE that version of the safety rules - took me overseas many times and works at home and the range. Point Six: When I was old enough, corresponded with the Dirty Harry series of movies. I met a policeman in a parking lot doing some business on the side, and purchased an 8-⅜” barrel, nickel-plated Model 29. I fired it a few times, with no instruction, developed a life-long flinch (that’s another story for another day) and set it aside. Many years later I pulled it out to show someone, and HORROR - I had cleaned it inappropriately when last put away, and the chemical had attacked the metal under the nickel plating and ruined the one side of the revolver in contact with the felt. Sold it for little money as a shooter. Where is that time machine ? EXCELLENT VIDEO !

I would pay money for a still functional gun like that. Would be an interesting talking piece. "Yeah got it from a guy who stored it wrong unknowingly but it looks neat and shoots straight" Had a cool old .22 like that for YEARS with really bad rust on the non bolt side and light rust in on the R side. I blew it up with double charged .22 after I shot the barrel smooth..wasn't a safe queen at all.

Thank you, Mr. Harrell. For everything you've done. :-)

GREAT VIDEO!!!Thank you, Paul!!!

30-30 was perhaps the first COMMERCIAL smokeless powder cartridge, but it was certainly not the first in general. That title belongs to the French military and the 8x50r lebel cartridge adopted in 1886. Also, you're correct about .303 originally being loaded with black powder, but 7.62x54r was always smokeless since it was developed and adopted in 1891. Moreover, the .303 was always meant to be smokeless, it just took the brits a little longer than expected to figure out how to make smokeless propellant (which was a closely guarded military secret at the time) and they needed to put something in there in the meantime. They started loading .303 with smokeless in 1891. Lastly, .30-40 krag predates .30-30. .30-40 was adopted for use in 1892 with the M1892 Krag Jorgensen. EDIT: Here's an (incomplete) list of military cartridges that were being loaded with smokeless powder before the invention of .30-30 8x50R Lebel (France, 1886) 8x57 Patrone 88 (Germany, 1888 - this is the original 8mm "Mauser" load - a name which was retroactively applied. Mauser actually had nothing to do with the cartridge's development.) 7.5x53 (Switzerland, 1889) 8x58R (Denmark, 1889) 7.65x53 Mauser (First used in Belgium, 1889 - also used in many other variants such as Ottoman Mausers starting in 1890 and some South American Mausers like the Argentine 1891) 7.62x54r (Russia, 1891) 6.5x52 Carcano (Italy, 1891) .303 British (Frist loaded with black powder in 1888 as a stopgap. Loaded with smokeless starting in 1891) .30-40 Krag (USA, 1892) 7x57 Mauser (First used in Spain, 1893. Also used in many other Mauser 1893 type rifles, most of which were South American) 8X50R Mannlicher (Austria-Hungary, first loaded with Semi-Smokeless in 1890, then smokeless from 1893 onward. Very convoluted developmental history). 6.5x55 Swede (The United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway, used in the M94 Mauser and M94 Krag Jorgenson respectively.) Ask me anything about the history of small arms development in the late 19th and early 20th century
