Never heard Massad raise his voice before. Lol

[stephen]

Man speaks the truth, competition hones your muscle memory and reaction to pressure in a less than lethal environment.

[BigDrum]

Masad pulled a Gandalf move with that stern voice. "BILBO BAGGINS! A GUNFIGHT IS A SHOOTING MATCH!... I'm trying to help you."

[gseclipse]

Somebody needs to do an edit where when Massad raises his voice, the background darkens and the frame shakes a little bit

[Nedhill]

This is why I like to listen to the older guys . They have real world knowledge and wisdom

[lynnhunley]

He got seroius real quick! I love it! This mans knowledge is vast and should be respected.

[ryanhorton]

I want a shirt "a shooting match ain't a gunfight, but a gunfight is a shooting match"

[miketanner]

This man has dedicated his life to educating people like me on the importance of our second amendment rights. Thank you

My late Father was the President of a Local Gun Club back in the 1960s . Back when Newspapers would publish their scores and results in the Sporting Section .
Back when there was a Rifle club at My High School .
I remember going to the Indoor Range where he practiced and then picking up all the spent lead so he could melt it down for reloading .
I still have his Trophys and Medals from those days .
Sad to see how The Public Opinion on Gun Ownership has changed since then .

Immediate, otherwise unavoidable danger, of injury or grave bodily harm to yourself or the innocent. I'll never forget it. This man is a national treasure

[chrisholladay]

Doing a skill and doing it under pressure are two separate skills. This is genius advice

[frederickgoman]

Wild Bill Hickock used to put on shooting displays of his marksmanship, but he could also deliver under pressure in the real world. One of his victims, Davis Tutt, lies buried a half mile from my home. You have been an inspiration over the years when I was the firearms instructor for US Probation in the Western District of Missouri. Keep it up!

[Acdiesel]

Massad has more wisdom than 10 average lifetimes. I really appreciate him sharing it with the world.

[Howardtripper]

When under pressure you react with instincts that's what they teach you in the army

[bryanhayes]

Never considered entering a shooting match - until hearing this wisdom.

[GAB-vqre]

I appreciate the seriousness and tone of this video. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[ItsMefromSnuffys]

Thank you for your voice of reason… and emphasizing the point

[SmokinLoon]

LE's get the "under pressure" training by use of "simunitions"... they work. It is amazing to see LE's deploy, maneuver, and engage under pressure and threat of hostile fire. I highly recommend simunitions if you ever get a chance and no... paintball and airsoft games on the weekend don't count. ;)

Massad Ayoob is the one voice of reason crying in the wilderness. Listen to him
