Commando Crow:
00:00:00
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
Commando Crow:
00:00:05
Republic for which it stands.
Commando Crow:
00:00:06
One nation under God.
Commando Crow:
00:00:10
Good morning, fellow Americans.
Commando Crow:
00:00:12
And welcome to the third episode of the season.
Commando Crow:
00:00:15

Commando Crow:
00:00:18

Commando Crow:
00:00:32
and the Constitution of the United States.
Commando Crow:
00:00:34
I'm your host Chris Williams, my brother Patrick Williams's co host,
Commando Crow:
00:00:38
and we are the Constitution Commandos.
Commando Crow:
00:00:40
All American Commando: I'm going to jump into the another part of security
Commando Crow:
00:00:45
that is obviously not for everybody but
Commando Crow:
00:00:50
still on personal dwelling.
Commando Crow:
00:00:52
All American Commando: Yeah, and but this is so important for being
Commando Crow:
00:00:59
able to communicate a plan of action with the people in your home.
Commando Crow:
00:01:03
And this is, in my opinion, the easiest way to defend and preserve
Commando Crow:
00:01:10
life is the second amendment.
Commando Crow:
00:01:14
And if anybody wants to tell you the second amendment is for hunting,
Commando Crow:
00:01:19
stop listening to their opinions.
Commando Crow:
00:01:22
The second amendment is to defend yourself and your property.
Commando Crow:
00:01:27
Point blank, that's doesn't matter who you're defending yourself against.
Commando Crow:
00:01:31
That is the 2nd amendment is to defend yourself and your property.
Commando Crow:
00:01:36
Let me says I've been here because I have heard this in
Commando Crow:
00:01:39
questioning of Marjorie Taylor green.
Commando Crow:
00:01:42
The 2nd amendment was not there for the people to overthrow the government.
Commando Crow:
00:01:47
That was not the purpose.
Commando Crow:
00:01:49
However, in case the government gets too big, it is there for that purpose.
Commando Crow:
00:01:55
But that was not the reason for it.
Commando Crow:
00:01:57
The reason for it was If this country had to go to war against another
Commando Crow:
00:02:02
country, the government would call on its citizens would come armed to the teeth.
Commando Crow:
00:02:08
That's what it's there for.
Commando Crow:
00:02:09
Just so we're clear on that Second Amendment thing.
Commando Crow:
00:02:13
Go ahead.
Commando Crow:
00:02:15
All American Commando: Yeah, but when we talk about firearms in a defense
Commando Crow:
00:02:20
situation, if you go buy a firearm, having the firearm is absolutely useless
Commando Crow:
00:02:27
if you don't go spend time at the range.
Commando Crow:
00:02:30
You have got to get to the range.
Commando Crow:
00:02:33
You have got to train with that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:02:35
That weapon is useless.
Commando Crow:
00:02:38
If you do not know how to properly holster it, to clear it, to put it on
Commando Crow:
00:02:43
safe, to take it out of the holster, to charge it, the proper storage and use.
Commando Crow:
00:02:50
Yep.
Commando Crow:
00:02:52
Firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:02:54
I don't care what anybody says.
Commando Crow:
00:02:56
The first and most important thing that you do with a firearm, any
Commando Crow:
00:03:00
responsible gun owner, is firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:03:05
And I don't know how they do it in the military,
Commando Crow:
00:03:08
except for what we got in the Navy.
Commando Crow:
00:03:09
And believe me, we push buttons, we don't pull triggers unless you're
Commando Crow:
00:03:13
in the SEALs or SeaBees . But, as far as firearm safety, it was keep
Commando Crow:
00:03:17
your weapon pointed downrange.
Commando Crow:
00:03:19
That's pretty much it.
Commando Crow:
00:03:21
Now growing up, firearm safety meant we were shown a firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:03:26
An empty one.
Commando Crow:
00:03:28
And we were taught how to hold it, where to and not to point
Commando Crow:
00:03:33
it, how to load it, and that was before we ever saw the ammunition.
Commando Crow:
00:03:38
And so firearm safety is probably more critical than the use of the firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:03:42
So I want to throw that in there because firearm safety is absolutely critical.
Commando Crow:
00:03:48
All American Commando: Yeah, because there, there are no bad guns.
Commando Crow:
00:03:50
No, there are poor operators.
Commando Crow:
00:03:54
If you do not understand firearm safety and you have an accidental discharge, or
Commando Crow:
00:03:59
you don't understand trigger discipline and you shoot somebody in your family or
Commando Crow:
00:04:03
in a house, That is not the gun's problem.
Commando Crow:
00:04:07
That is your problem.
Commando Crow:
00:04:08
So that's not to say that some very experienced gun
Commando Crow:
00:04:11
owners haven't had things happen.
Commando Crow:
00:04:14
And they do happen.
Commando Crow:
00:04:15
We're people.
Commando Crow:
00:04:16
We make mistakes.
Commando Crow:
00:04:18
But the more you know firearm safety, the fewer mistakes you can plan on having.
Commando Crow:
00:04:24
All American Commando: That firearm should be an extension of your body.
Commando Crow:
00:04:27
You should not have to think a fraction of a second how to properly
Commando Crow:
00:04:31
deploy and use that firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:04:34
It should be muscle memory.
Commando Crow:
00:04:37
Yep.
Commando Crow:
00:04:37
So if you get a firearm, and I will say, everybody will look at this differently.
Commando Crow:
00:04:46
My personal opinion, a pistol is not the greatest thing for
Commando Crow:
00:04:53
personal defense in a home.
Commando Crow:
00:04:55
To me, a pistol is one of the hardest weapons to utilize,
Commando Crow:
00:05:01
deploy, and to hit targets.
Commando Crow:
00:05:03
Now, if you choose to have a pistol for your personal defense, now, sure, if
Commando Crow:
00:05:08
you're in your vehicle, you're going out roaming town, a pistol mandatory.
Commando Crow:
00:05:13
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:05:13
But if you choose, and I understand not everybody's just rolling in cash,
Commando Crow:
00:05:19
especially in today's economic time.
Commando Crow:
00:05:22
If a pistol is the first thing that you can afford, Then when
Commando Crow:
00:05:27
you buy your pistol, then you need to find a firearms instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:05:33
I could give two shits about concealed carry.
Commando Crow:
00:05:36
I could give two shits about any of that crap until you know how to use.
Commando Crow:
00:05:44
Weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:05:45
Weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:05:45
And if you find somebody to teach you how to use a pistol and they
Commando Crow:
00:05:50
do not teach you firearm safety, you find you another instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:05:58
And I will say this just to add in, and maybe it's
Commando Crow:
00:06:02
because I'm a little bit partial, the firearms instructors that I have.
Commando Crow:
00:06:07
Met or have known to be firearms instructors, I would probably
Commando Crow:
00:06:13
trust them before just anybody that claims to be a firearms instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:06:18
But I would find somebody's prior service press, preferably somebody, special teams.
Commando Crow:
00:06:24
And there's a reason why I recommend that, not just because I'm biased, 'cause
Commando Crow:
00:06:27
I'm a veteran, but there's a reason I recommend them to be firearms instructors.
Commando Crow:
00:06:34
Those guys go full blown, they go high speed, live fire.
Commando Crow:
00:06:40
And they managed to not kill each other, and they're very
Commando Crow:
00:06:44
trying to do that as well.
Commando Crow:
00:06:46
Oh, absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:06:47
There's a lot of police that have extreme training, but that's what I'm saying.
Commando Crow:
00:06:50
Regardless when it, and I want a lot of those people, you have very capable
Commando Crow:
00:06:58
instructors out there that never did a day in the military or we're not on the force.
Commando Crow:
00:07:02
But the thing that I'm saying is, number one thing, the instructor should
Commando Crow:
00:07:06
not be your husband, or your wife, or somebody that you are friends with.
Commando Crow:
00:07:11
You are going to get talked to, and you need to understand the
Commando Crow:
00:07:17
possible consequences of not learning and appreciating that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:07:23
You need somebody that is sole focused on not who you are, what you are doing.
Commando Crow:
00:07:30
If you have a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:07:32
They need to be able to teach you firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:07:36
Learn firearm safety, learn how to deploy your weapon and to acquire your target.
Commando Crow:
00:07:43
That's the first and foremost.
Commando Crow:
00:07:45
Yeah, that's important.
Commando Crow:
00:07:47
And check your feelings at the door.
Commando Crow:
00:07:49
Don't even worry about taking your feelings with you
Commando Crow:
00:07:51
because you don't need those.
Commando Crow:
00:07:54
All American Commando: You don't need them.
Commando Crow:
00:07:55
But, and the reason we came to the second amendment talking about site
Commando Crow:
00:08:01
security is Once you get the weapon and I would leave it up to each
Commando Crow:
00:08:08
individual because everybody's situation is different everybody's So talk to
Commando Crow:
00:08:13
somebody prior to purchasing a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:15
Tell them what your immediate needs are for that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:19
Explain to them the environment that you are immediately trying
Commando Crow:
00:08:24
to defend, being your home.
Commando Crow:
00:08:26
Is it a brick structure?
Commando Crow:
00:08:27
Is it a wood structure?
Commando Crow:
00:08:29
Is it stucco?
Commando Crow:
00:08:30
Does it, everything about it.
Commando Crow:
00:08:31
Tell them that you are trying to have a self defense weapon for your property.
Commando Crow:
00:08:39
Get a lot of different Input.
Commando Crow:
00:08:44
Input on the type of weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:47
Okay.
Commando Crow:
00:08:48
Now, once you have determined which weapon that you're going to purchase, and that
Commando Crow:
00:08:53
you have started taking some type of firearm safety class, and an instructor
Commando Crow:
00:08:59
is teaching you proper use of the weapon, then you need to start understanding.
Commando Crow:
00:09:04
Ask, There is no better way to find out about a firearm and I'm military trained
Commando Crow:
00:09:11
and I still buzz people's ears because the technology changes all the time.
Commando Crow:
00:09:17
It's not static.
Commando Crow:
00:09:19
It is rapidly changing.
Commando Crow:
00:09:21
I'm not ashamed to say it.
Commando Crow:
00:09:23
I don't know everything.
Commando Crow:
00:09:24
And I'm going to ask if you use a pistol, you're probably going
Commando Crow:
00:09:30
to want to utilize hollow points.
Commando Crow:
00:09:33
And this goes into the communicating part.
Commando Crow:
00:09:37
If you have a firearm, and you have a family in your home, and
Commando Crow:
00:09:42
you have a weapon, and you have to engage a perpetrator, 911 is
Commando Crow:
00:09:47
already on the phone, it's already on speaker, it's already on document.
Commando Crow:
00:09:54
And if you have Children, they need to know if somebody comes in
Commando Crow:
00:09:58
this house, lay flat on the floor.
Commando Crow:
00:10:02
That way, if you engage a perpetrator and you shoot them and it goes through
Commando Crow:
00:10:07
the wall, then it's going to go over the head likely of your Children.
Commando Crow:
00:10:13
If your spouse is there.
Commando Crow:
00:10:16
Your spouse needs to know what to do.
Commando Crow:
00:10:19
Anytime a firearm is deployed, you always, I don't care if it's combat, I
Commando Crow:
00:10:26
don't care if it's personal defense, I don't give a shit if you're at a range.
Commando Crow:
00:10:32
You always identify your target, period.
Commando Crow:
00:10:37
Before you squeeze the trigger, before you put your finger on the trigger,
Commando Crow:
00:10:42
Yeah, don't be a gangbanger and just start waving your gun around
Commando Crow:
00:10:45
with your finger on the trigger.
Commando Crow:
00:10:46
That's dangerous for everybody.
Commando Crow:
00:10:48
All American Commando: Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:10:49
Because you have to think of the safety of your family.
Commando Crow:
00:10:52
Remember, preservation of life.
Commando Crow:
00:10:56
That is the mission.
Commando Crow:
00:11:01
That is what is on your mind.
Commando Crow:
00:11:03
It is not badass or Billy the Kid or it is to protect life.
Commando Crow:
00:11:09
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:11:09
And quite frankly, on a personal level if it's gonna be inside my
Commando Crow:
00:11:13
dwelling, I'm just going for a knife.
Commando Crow:
00:11:15
I'm just saying . It's
Commando Crow:
00:11:17
All American Commando: just that's me.
Commando Crow:
00:11:17
And sometimes the situation won't allow for that if
Commando Crow:
00:11:20
there's multiple as statements.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
That's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
That's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
True, that's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:23
But you need to understand the type of bullets or ammunition that you're using.
Commando Crow:
00:11:29
Some bullets will go clean through the house and exit the front or the back,
Commando Crow:
00:11:33
and it might go in the neighbor's house.
Commando Crow:
00:11:35
You don't want that.
Commando Crow:
00:11:35
All American Commando: learn.
Commando Crow:
00:11:36
Your ammunition, get the appropriate ammunition for the firearm that
Commando Crow:
00:11:42
you chose to best defend your home.
Commando Crow:
00:11:46
Including the grain load.
Commando Crow:
00:11:47
That's important.
Commando Crow:
00:11:49
Yeah, but yes, not as important probably as whether or not you use them.
Commando Crow:
00:11:56
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:11:57
It is important because it determines how much
Commando Crow:
00:11:59
velocity is behind that round.
Commando Crow:
00:12:02
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:12:03
But.
Commando Crow:
00:12:04
You can get a hypersonic load that will mushroom, and it will still pass through
Commando Crow:
00:12:11
a few walls, but it depends on the bullet.
Commando Crow:
00:12:17
The bullet is just as important as the gun.
Commando Crow:
00:12:21
You go to the range, you're gonna use probably, let's just say AR,
Commando Crow:
00:12:25
you're gonna use an AR platform.
Commando Crow:
00:12:27
A 2 23.
Commando Crow:
00:12:29
Heck, when I go to the range, I'm gonna use the cheapest bullets I can a 55 grain.
Commando Crow:
00:12:33
I usually use American Eagle.
Commando Crow:
00:12:35
There's a bunch of quality bullets out there.
Commando Crow:
00:12:37
I'm not sponsored by anybody.
Commando Crow:
00:12:39
That's what I use.
Commando Crow:
00:12:41
And it's more efficient.
Commando Crow:
00:12:43
It's a range bullet.
Commando Crow:
00:12:45
It's cheaper.
Commando Crow:
00:12:45
I was say, if you're going to the
Commando Crow:
00:12:46
range, you don't want something that you're going to use for any other
Commando Crow:
00:12:49
purpose, but the range, you don't wanna spend top dollar on range rounds.
Commando Crow:
00:12:53
Don't want something that's gonna gunk up your gun and cause it to jam either.
Commando Crow:
00:12:57
All American Commando: On top of your instructor, when you decide
Commando Crow:
00:13:00
the weapon that you want, the gunked up gun, cause it is ineffective.
Commando Crow:
00:13:06
It's a paperweight.
Commando Crow:
00:13:07
Let's say that again.
Commando Crow:
00:13:08
You get your instructor, if your instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:13:13
does not take the time to teach you how to properly clean your weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:13:18
Find another instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:13:20
Cleaning the weapon is just as important as knowing how to properly
Commando Crow:
00:13:25
use it in a safe fashion and acquiring and engaging a target.
Commando Crow:
00:13:30
Cleaning a weapon is part of, it's no different than owning a car.
Commando Crow:
00:13:35
If you have to add water or oil, you do it.
Commando Crow:
00:13:38
And if you don't do it, the car will break down.
Commando Crow:
00:13:41
Have to say that the cleaning weapon falls
Commando Crow:
00:13:43
under the category of safety.
Commando Crow:
00:13:46
Unless you pulled the trigger and heard that thunk, you have no idea.
Commando Crow:
00:13:50
You don't want to hear that.
Commando Crow:
00:13:52
But you know what I'm saying, it falls under the category of safety all day long.
Commando Crow:
00:13:57
If you don't have a clean weapon, you're looking at all kinds of problems down
Commando Crow:
00:14:00
the road that you really don't want.
Commando Crow:
00:14:02
All American Commando: Oh, absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:14:04
There's numerous malfunctions that unclean weapon is an dirty weapon is an unsafe
Commando Crow:
00:14:12
weapon and it should not be used period.
Commando Crow:
00:14:15
If you choose to buy a weapon, ask questions, figure out the best weapon for
Commando Crow:
00:14:21
the purpose that you're getting it for, explore munitions, ask questions, get
Commando Crow:
00:14:27
the right munitions for the environment that you're going to deploy that weapon
Commando Crow:
00:14:31
in, and learn how to clean that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:14:34
Now, if anybody out there has any favorite weapons that they like to use
Commando Crow:
00:14:40
for home defense, or if anybody out there has any tidbits of information that
Commando Crow:
00:14:46
might have more training than myself.
Commando Crow:
00:14:48
It doesn't even matter if it's less training than me.
Commando Crow:
00:14:51
If you have an interesting perspective on this, I really do want to hear
Commando Crow:
00:14:55
it because I'm here to learn just as well as I am to spread a little
Commando Crow:
00:14:59
bit of the knowledge that I do have.
Commando Crow:
00:15:01
Most definitely because I would love to think I know a lot.
Commando Crow:
00:15:06
I'd like to think that, but it seems the more people I meet,
Commando Crow:
00:15:09
the more I learn, I don't know.
Commando Crow:
00:15:12
All American Commando: So yeah, I know a little bit about a lot of shit and
Commando Crow:
00:15:14
that's about the extent of my knowledge.
Commando Crow:
00:15:16
It's fun to think, everything for about 30 seconds.
Commando Crow:
00:15:19
That's as far as it goes.
Commando Crow:
00:15:22
All American Commando: Now, another thing that I would talk about back
Commando Crow:
00:15:26
to pace, you got a primary, you got an alternate, you got a contingency,
Commando Crow:
00:15:31
and then you got an emergency.
Commando Crow:
00:15:33
Fallback positions, primary position, defend your own right
Commando Crow:
00:15:39
now, an alternate position.
Commando Crow:
00:15:42
Everybody should use their brain.
Commando Crow:
00:15:44
Sun Tzu even says the wise warrior will avoid the fight.
Commando Crow:
00:15:49
Okay.
Commando Crow:
00:15:50
If you are utilizing a weapon that has a higher capacity to defend your home and
Commando Crow:
00:15:57
you have multiple assailants come in your home, you are still at a disadvantage
Commando Crow:
00:16:03
because there are multiple assailants.
Commando Crow:
00:16:05
You're not going to know for sure if they're coming in the same entry point.
Commando Crow:
00:16:08
You're not going to you don't know all the breach points, but if it's
Commando Crow:
00:16:12
one or two people coming in your home and you're using a high capacity
Commando Crow:
00:16:16
magazine, you have an advantage.
Commando Crow:
00:16:20
Now, when you're at the range and you're shooting targets, they do not shoot back.
Commando Crow:
00:16:25
You might be able to hit the target 10 out of 10 times, 20 out
Commando Crow:
00:16:29
of 20 times, 30 out of 30 times.
Commando Crow:
00:16:32
When the target shoots back, your accuracy is going to fall off immensely.
Commando Crow:
00:16:41
For a lot of reasons, but a lot of times you got to take cover.
Commando Crow:
00:16:44
So if it comes to a point that you have to go to an alternate location
Commando Crow:
00:16:50
and you cannot preserve life anymore at your home, then you have to
Commando Crow:
00:16:56
be able to bug out of that home.
Commando Crow:
00:16:59
So you need to have some type of a go bag.
Commando Crow:
00:17:02
Now, I can get into a million different scenarios and situations.
Commando Crow:
00:17:09
It would be impossible for me to cover each of them and provide adequate
Commando Crow:
00:17:14
information on any of them if I did that.
Commando Crow:
00:17:17
So let's just say you had to bug out and you had to bug out for up to 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:23
Your home is being overrun.
Commando Crow:
00:17:26
You cannot protect the lives of you or the people in your home.
Commando Crow:
00:17:32
Forget about your property.
Commando Crow:
00:17:33
Your property doesn't matter.
Commando Crow:
00:17:36
If you have to grab a bug out bag, it should be set for 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:41
Because if you can come back home in 72 hours a period, if you weren't
Commando Crow:
00:17:47
able to defend it and you flee, your home will probably be cleaned
Commando Crow:
00:17:51
out by the end of that 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:54
So chances are it will be of no use to anybody trying to break in it later, and
Commando Crow:
00:17:59
you might be able to come home again.
Commando Crow:
00:18:02
Correct.
Commando Crow:
00:18:03
Bug out bags.
Commando Crow:
00:18:05
There's some research.
Commando Crow:
00:18:06
I could definitely go through a whole bunch of, I could list a bunch of
Commando Crow:
00:18:13
things to go into a 72 hour pack.
Commando Crow:
00:18:16
That would be like an assault pack for me.
Commando Crow:
00:18:20
That would be something that I could go.
Commando Crow:
00:18:22
Something that's very light.
Commando Crow:
00:18:24
I still remain quick and agile.
Commando Crow:
00:18:28
Emergency shelter, some type of weather protection, like
Commando Crow:
00:18:32
from rain or cold, layers.
Commando Crow:
00:18:35
You obviously, depending on how many people you have, you could go
Commando Crow:
00:18:42
three days without water, but you don't want to go one without water.
Commando Crow:
00:18:46
You can go three weeks without food, but you don't want to.
Commando Crow:
00:18:50
This right here?
Commando Crow:
00:18:50
Yes.
Commando Crow:
00:18:51
This is a bugger out bag and yes, it looks quite large actually.
Commando Crow:
00:18:56
If you expand it all the way, how many large is that?
Commando Crow:
00:18:58
This was 45, 45 liters.
Commando Crow:
00:19:02
You can carry more than enough for three days in this bag, and you
Commando Crow:
00:19:08
can actually attach extra external stuff,
Commando Crow:
00:19:11
All American Commando: but if you look at the MOLLE system on it,
Commando Crow:
00:19:13
that's correct.
Commando Crow:
00:19:15
For anybody interested, and I'm spreading this apart because I don't
Commando Crow:
00:19:19
have it filled up right now, however, this is probably more than enough.
Commando Crow:
00:19:25
For a typical 3 day, bug out and absolutely
Commando Crow:
00:19:30
quite frankly, I think this is probably a little
Commando Crow:
00:19:33
larger than what I would need.
Commando Crow:
00:19:35
I actually had this 1 for Laura to carry in case she needs to carry something.
Commando Crow:
00:19:40
Because that 70 later that you send me, that's entirely too much for her.
Commando Crow:
00:19:44
And I know that I would put quite a bit in it, but just for the sake of.
Commando Crow:
00:19:50
All American Commando: People watching this is a bag right there would be ideal
Commando Crow:
00:19:54
for a get home bag something to pack And high energy food if you're away and you're
Commando Crow:
00:20:02
just trying to get home, wind protection rain protection Yeah, and I have I mean
Commando Crow:
00:20:11
I do have here I'll make sure I got them the next time
Commando Crow:
00:20:14
we bring something up, but I have I actually have a small medical bag And
Commando Crow:
00:20:19
when I say small, it is very sm Look, I don't know if you can see it very
Commando Crow:
00:20:26
well on here, but this pouch right here is about the size of my medical bag.
Commando Crow:
00:20:32
That's about it, okay?
Commando Crow:
00:20:35
And quite frankly, it has most everything you need in it, as far as
Commando Crow:
00:20:40
gauze it's got tape, self adhesive tape, you got band aids of different
Commando Crow:
00:20:46
sizes, alcohol swabs, stain swabs, And I forget what they call them, Patrick.
Commando Crow:
00:20:52
What, I guess it's just a sting wipe or,
Commando Crow:
00:20:54
All American Commando: it's what I'm talking about.
Commando Crow:
00:20:57
It's not for anti itch cream for, or a wipe for if you get a
Commando Crow:
00:21:04
bites or, yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:21:06
And that's what it comes with that now also have a sewing kit
Commando Crow:
00:21:11
that I have separate, but it fits in my metal bag, medical bag.
Commando Crow:
00:21:15
And all of that will fit in that one pocket I just showed you.
Commando Crow:
00:21:18
So don't do like I didn't get carried away with how much stuff
Commando Crow:
00:21:21
do I have to have and what all do I need to carry anything like that?
Commando Crow:
00:21:25
And look, this right here, or your bug out bag,
Commando Crow:
00:21:29
All American Commando: you need it.
Commando Crow:
00:21:31
Don't go without it.
Commando Crow:
00:21:32
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:21:34
That's exactly right.
Commando Crow:
00:21:36
And that would be if you have to prepare for more than 72 hours, a
Commando Crow:
00:21:40
standard bug out bag, you figure 72 hours, you're probably good.
Commando Crow:
00:21:44
Once again, anybody disagrees with me, share your thoughts and feelings on that.
Commando Crow:
00:21:48
Everybody's different.
Commando Crow:
00:21:50
Everybody's environment is different.
Commando Crow:
00:21:51
Some people are urban.
Commando Crow:
00:21:53
Some people do not have a secondary place that they can go.
Commando Crow:
00:21:57
I would just be interested
Commando Crow:
00:21:58
in knowing what other people Might have to deal
Commando Crow:
00:22:01
with and what they think, what they feel is best for them to carry.
Commando Crow:
00:22:04
And yeah, because quite frankly, even though we may live in different
Commando Crow:
00:22:08
hemispheres, somebody else may have their bag set up for an emergency
Commando Crow:
00:22:14
situation and have something in that bag that would probably be beneficial.
Commando Crow:
00:22:19
I would like to hear it.
Commando Crow:
00:22:20
I think it would be good to hear it because we're not local,
Commando Crow:
00:22:23
we talk to people everywhere.
Commando Crow:
00:22:25
But all in all, and that video that I watched that you sent me, I don't
Commando Crow:
00:22:30
think that guy would disagree.
Commando Crow:
00:22:33
This is all you need for 72
Commando Crow:
00:22:35
All American Commando: hours.
Commando Crow:
00:22:36
Yeah, you're probably right.
Commando Crow:
00:22:38
The bag he was carrying wasn't this big.
Commando Crow:
00:22:42
I personally, I'm going to look for a little bit more space.
Commando Crow:
00:22:44
No, everybody's got their own preference.
Commando Crow:
00:22:46
And mind you, I'm used to, and the day I was in, I carried Alice pack, so
Commando Crow:
00:22:50
that was a large bag and external frame that's not needed for communications,
Commando Crow:
00:22:55
equipment and everything else.
Commando Crow:
00:22:56
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:22:56
That bag's definitely overkill for a 72 hour bug out.
Commando Crow:
00:23:00
That would be very much overkill, but, and this.
Commando Crow:
00:23:05
You need some of these.
Commando Crow:
00:23:07
All American Commando: Oh, yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:23:08
Just ask around.
Commando Crow:
00:23:11
We're trying to do things to aid people in being prepared.
Commando Crow:
00:23:15
We're not trying to set the standard.
Commando Crow:
00:23:17
Everyone is different and unique.
Commando Crow:
00:23:21
Everybody's physical ability is different.
Commando Crow:
00:23:24
Everybody's needs and requirements are different.
Commando Crow:
00:23:27
So if you talk to anybody that
Commando Crow:
00:23:29
does survival training or evasion training,
Commando Crow:
00:23:32
They'll tell you the same thing.
Commando Crow:
00:23:33
Everybody's situation is going to be unique to them and that situation
Commando Crow:
00:23:38
All American Commando: their environment That's right.
Commando Crow:
00:23:41
So nothing here is set in stone.
Commando Crow:
00:23:44
These are ideas.
Commando Crow:
00:23:45
And, again, we want to hear yours too, because your ideas
Commando Crow:
00:23:49
may benefit us in ways we didn't
Commando Crow:
00:23:50
All American Commando: consider.
Commando Crow:
00:23:51
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:23:53
Man, I hate to do this, man.
Commando Crow:
00:23:54
I really do.
Commando Crow:
00:23:55
I'm gonna have to get this damn shoulder up here.
Commando Crow:
00:24:00
But yeah, it's, people need to start, and I don't mean to say need
Commando Crow:
00:24:05
to, I do mean it, I don't mean it.
Commando Crow:
00:24:08
I don't mean it.
Commando Crow:
00:24:08
It look at it like a game start paying attention to things and like a
Commando Crow:
00:24:14
self, when you talk about things like situational awareness, we've talked
Commando Crow:
00:24:21
about this on a previous episode, everybody goes to convenience stores.
Commando Crow:
00:24:25
Convenience stores get robbed regular.
Commando Crow:
00:24:28
You go into a convenience store.
Commando Crow:
00:24:30
Take note of everybody in there.
Commando Crow:
00:24:31
Take note of the possible exits.
Commando Crow:
00:24:32
Take note of whatever you can take note of in there just in case something
Commando Crow:
00:24:38
negative happens outside of your control to where you can preserve your life.
Commando Crow:
00:24:42
That is your goal.
Commando Crow:
00:24:44
Life preservation.
Commando Crow:
00:24:46
No matter who you are, where you are, it doesn't just have to be at home.
Commando Crow:
00:24:50
So always keep your eyes open for things that look funny or out of place.
Commando Crow:
00:24:55
Or, you just, you, if you get a feeling in your gut that something
Commando Crow:
00:25:00
is not right, you know what?
Commando Crow:
00:25:02
Something is probably not right.
Commando Crow:
00:25:06
I'm gonna also go back a little bit on self defense, site defense.
Commando Crow:
00:25:10
Alright.
Commando Crow:
00:25:12
I don't, like I said, don't matter if it's a house or an apartment,
Commando Crow:
00:25:18
never arm your assailants.
Commando Crow:
00:25:21
So if you have things outside that are like shovels or pickaxes, axes, anything.
Commando Crow:
00:25:29
If you have any tools that are outside that can be utilized as a weapon against
Commando Crow:
00:25:35
you or a way to bust in windows or doors, keep that stuff policed, pick it up,
Commando Crow:
00:25:43
store it in a proper location so that.
Commando Crow:
00:25:47
Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.
Commando Crow:
00:25:49
If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to
Commando Crow:
00:25:51
go just digging through a storage shed.
Commando Crow:
00:25:54
I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage
Commando Crow:
00:25:58
shed, of course, they're probably going to see what kind of tools they
Commando Crow:
00:26:00
can find to breach your perimeter.
Commando Crow:
00:26:02
But then again, if it's a locked storage shed, that'll give
Commando Crow:
00:26:05
you a heads up that somebody's out.
Commando Crow:
00:26:08
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:26:09
So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:14
That's part of just perimeter security.
Commando Crow:
00:26:18
It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever
Commando Crow:
00:26:25
it is that's coming to get you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:27
It's just not a good idea.
Commando Crow:
00:26:29
I think that goes back to, making sure you know where everything is, policing
Commando Crow:
00:26:32
the perimeter, policing your borders.
Commando Crow:
00:26:35
Thank you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:36
However you want to put it.
Commando Crow:
00:26:37
Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.
Commando Crow:
00:26:39
Look, I think you and I both know pretty well that anything
Commando Crow:
00:26:42
that moves can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:26:44
If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:26:46
So try to minimize.
Commando Crow:
00:26:49
What anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.
Commando Crow:
00:26:56
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:26:57
It's of the utmost importance.
Commando Crow:
00:26:59
I would like to see what the stats are of the number of people that have
Commando Crow:
00:27:04
assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.
Commando Crow:
00:27:07
I wonder what the.
Commando Crow:
00:27:10
I could tell you what
Commando Crow:
00:27:10
the stats are of Paul Pelosi being invaded by men and underwear.
Commando Crow:
00:27:16
Let's hit the bed.
Commando Crow:
00:27:17
I don't know what the other guys do.
Commando Crow:
00:27:20
But we're going to hear from you.
Commando Crow:
00:27:22
Just send us an email to podteam at the constitution.
Commando Crow:
00:27:25
Fernando's dot org.
Commando Crow:
00:27:27
And don't forget.
Commando Crow:
00:27:28
All American Commando: so that.
Commando Crow:
00:27:29
Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.
Commando Crow:
00:27:31
If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to
Commando Crow:
00:27:34
go just digging through a storage shed.
Commando Crow:
00:27:37
I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage
Commando Crow:
00:27:41

Commando Crow:
00:27:43

Commando Crow:
00:27:44
But
Commando Crow:
00:27:45
then again, if it's a locked storage shed, that'll give you
Commando Crow:
00:27:48
a heads up that somebody's out.
Commando Crow:
00:27:51
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:27:52
So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.
Commando Crow:
00:27:57
All American Commando: Uh,
Commando Crow:
00:27:57
that's part of just perimeter security.
Commando Crow:
00:28:01
It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever
Commando Crow:
00:28:08
it is that's coming to get you.
Commando Crow:
00:28:09
It's just not a good idea.
Commando Crow:
00:28:12
All American Commando: Well,
Commando Crow:
00:28:12
I think that goes back
Commando Crow:
00:28:13
to, you know, making sure you know where everything is, policing the
Commando Crow:
00:28:16
perimeter, policing your borders.
Commando Crow:
00:28:19
Thank you.
Commando Crow:
00:28:20
However you want to put it.
Commando Crow:
00:28:21
Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.
Commando Crow:
00:28:23
I mean, look, I think you and I both know pretty well that anything
Commando Crow:
00:28:26
that moves can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:28:28
If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:28:30
So try to minimize.
Commando Crow:
00:28:33
What, what anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.
Commando Crow:
00:28:42
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:28:43
It, it, it's of the utmost importance.
Commando Crow:
00:28:45
I mean, I, I would like to see what the stats are of the number
Commando Crow:
00:28:48
of people that have assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.

00:29:19
Right.
Commando Crow:
00:29:19
It's on podchester.
Commando Crow:
00:29:21
com.
Commando Crow:
00:29:21
Leave us a review, let us know how we do it.
Commando Crow:
00:29:24
It takes a moment and it helps us out tremendously until next time.
Commando Crow:
00:29:28
And on behalf of my brother and myself, we're the constitution
Commando Crow:
00:29:32
commandos and we're signing off.
00:00:00
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
Commando Crow:
00:00:05
Republic for which it stands.
Commando Crow:
00:00:06
One nation under God.
Commando Crow:
00:00:10
Good morning, fellow Americans.
Commando Crow:
00:00:12
And welcome to the third episode of the season.
Commando Crow:
00:00:15
As we continue our discussions on things we can do to build
Commando Crow:
00:00:18
communities and get prepared for whatever situation lies ahead.

Get your free membership by signing up for our weekly emails to get notifications
Commando Crow:

about new episodes, and I'll send you a copy of the Declaration of Independence
Commando Crow:
00:00:32
and the Constitution of the United States.
Commando Crow:
00:00:34
I'm your host Chris Williams, my brother Patrick Williams's co host,
Commando Crow:
00:00:38
and we are the Constitution Commandos.
Commando Crow:
00:00:40
All American Commando: I'm going to jump into the another part of security
Commando Crow:
00:00:45
that is obviously not for everybody but
Commando Crow:
00:00:50
still on personal dwelling.
Commando Crow:
00:00:52
All American Commando: Yeah, and but this is so important for being
Commando Crow:
00:00:59
able to communicate a plan of action with the people in your home.
Commando Crow:
00:01:03
And this is, in my opinion, the easiest way to defend and preserve
Commando Crow:
00:01:10
life is the second amendment.
Commando Crow:
00:01:14
And if anybody wants to tell you the second amendment is for hunting,
Commando Crow:
00:01:19
stop listening to their opinions.
Commando Crow:
00:01:22
The second amendment is to defend yourself and your property.
Commando Crow:
00:01:27
Point blank, that's doesn't matter who you're defending yourself against.
Commando Crow:
00:01:31
That is the 2nd amendment is to defend yourself and your property.
Commando Crow:
00:01:36
Let me says I've been here because I have heard this in
Commando Crow:
00:01:39
questioning of Marjorie Taylor green.
Commando Crow:
00:01:42
The 2nd amendment was not there for the people to overthrow the government.
Commando Crow:
00:01:47
That was not the purpose.
Commando Crow:
00:01:49
However, in case the government gets too big, it is there for that purpose.
Commando Crow:
00:01:55
But that was not the reason for it.
Commando Crow:
00:01:57
The reason for it was If this country had to go to war against another
Commando Crow:
00:02:02
country, the government would call on its citizens would come armed to the teeth.
Commando Crow:
00:02:08
That's what it's there for.
Commando Crow:
00:02:09
Just so we're clear on that Second Amendment thing.
Commando Crow:
00:02:13
Go ahead.
Commando Crow:
00:02:15
All American Commando: Yeah, but when we talk about firearms in a defense
Commando Crow:
00:02:20
situation, if you go buy a firearm, having the firearm is absolutely useless
Commando Crow:
00:02:27
if you don't go spend time at the range.
Commando Crow:
00:02:30
You have got to get to the range.
Commando Crow:
00:02:33
You have got to train with that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:02:35
That weapon is useless.
Commando Crow:
00:02:38
If you do not know how to properly holster it, to clear it, to put it on
Commando Crow:
00:02:43
safe, to take it out of the holster, to charge it, the proper storage and use.
Commando Crow:
00:02:50
Yep.
Commando Crow:
00:02:52
Firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:02:54
I don't care what anybody says.
Commando Crow:
00:02:56
The first and most important thing that you do with a firearm, any
Commando Crow:
00:03:00
responsible gun owner, is firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:03:05
And I don't know how they do it in the military,
Commando Crow:
00:03:08
except for what we got in the Navy.
Commando Crow:
00:03:09
And believe me, we push buttons, we don't pull triggers unless you're
Commando Crow:
00:03:13
in the SEALs or SeaBees . But, as far as firearm safety, it was keep
Commando Crow:
00:03:17
your weapon pointed downrange.
Commando Crow:
00:03:19
That's pretty much it.
Commando Crow:
00:03:21
Now growing up, firearm safety meant we were shown a firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:03:26
An empty one.
Commando Crow:
00:03:28
And we were taught how to hold it, where to and not to point
Commando Crow:
00:03:33
it, how to load it, and that was before we ever saw the ammunition.
Commando Crow:
00:03:38
And so firearm safety is probably more critical than the use of the firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:03:42
So I want to throw that in there because firearm safety is absolutely critical.
Commando Crow:
00:03:48
All American Commando: Yeah, because there, there are no bad guns.
Commando Crow:
00:03:50
No, there are poor operators.
Commando Crow:
00:03:54
If you do not understand firearm safety and you have an accidental discharge, or
Commando Crow:
00:03:59
you don't understand trigger discipline and you shoot somebody in your family or
Commando Crow:
00:04:03
in a house, That is not the gun's problem.
Commando Crow:
00:04:07
That is your problem.
Commando Crow:
00:04:08
So that's not to say that some very experienced gun
Commando Crow:
00:04:11
owners haven't had things happen.
Commando Crow:
00:04:14
And they do happen.
Commando Crow:
00:04:15
We're people.
Commando Crow:
00:04:16
We make mistakes.
Commando Crow:
00:04:18
But the more you know firearm safety, the fewer mistakes you can plan on having.
Commando Crow:
00:04:24
All American Commando: That firearm should be an extension of your body.
Commando Crow:
00:04:27
You should not have to think a fraction of a second how to properly
Commando Crow:
00:04:31
deploy and use that firearm.
Commando Crow:
00:04:34
It should be muscle memory.
Commando Crow:
00:04:37
Yep.
Commando Crow:
00:04:37
So if you get a firearm, and I will say, everybody will look at this differently.
Commando Crow:
00:04:46
My personal opinion, a pistol is not the greatest thing for
Commando Crow:
00:04:53
personal defense in a home.
Commando Crow:
00:04:55
To me, a pistol is one of the hardest weapons to utilize,
Commando Crow:
00:05:01
deploy, and to hit targets.
Commando Crow:
00:05:03
Now, if you choose to have a pistol for your personal defense, now, sure, if
Commando Crow:
00:05:08
you're in your vehicle, you're going out roaming town, a pistol mandatory.
Commando Crow:
00:05:13
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:05:13
But if you choose, and I understand not everybody's just rolling in cash,
Commando Crow:
00:05:19
especially in today's economic time.
Commando Crow:
00:05:22
If a pistol is the first thing that you can afford, Then when
Commando Crow:
00:05:27
you buy your pistol, then you need to find a firearms instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:05:33
I could give two shits about concealed carry.
Commando Crow:
00:05:36
I could give two shits about any of that crap until you know how to use.
Commando Crow:
00:05:44
Weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:05:45
Weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:05:45
And if you find somebody to teach you how to use a pistol and they
Commando Crow:
00:05:50
do not teach you firearm safety, you find you another instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:05:58
And I will say this just to add in, and maybe it's
Commando Crow:
00:06:02
because I'm a little bit partial, the firearms instructors that I have.
Commando Crow:
00:06:07
Met or have known to be firearms instructors, I would probably
Commando Crow:
00:06:13
trust them before just anybody that claims to be a firearms instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:06:18
But I would find somebody's prior service press, preferably somebody, special teams.
Commando Crow:
00:06:24
And there's a reason why I recommend that, not just because I'm biased, 'cause
Commando Crow:
00:06:27
I'm a veteran, but there's a reason I recommend them to be firearms instructors.
Commando Crow:
00:06:34
Those guys go full blown, they go high speed, live fire.
Commando Crow:
00:06:40
And they managed to not kill each other, and they're very
Commando Crow:
00:06:44
trying to do that as well.
Commando Crow:
00:06:46
Oh, absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:06:47
There's a lot of police that have extreme training, but that's what I'm saying.
Commando Crow:
00:06:50
Regardless when it, and I want a lot of those people, you have very capable
Commando Crow:
00:06:58
instructors out there that never did a day in the military or we're not on the force.
Commando Crow:
00:07:02
But the thing that I'm saying is, number one thing, the instructor should
Commando Crow:
00:07:06
not be your husband, or your wife, or somebody that you are friends with.
Commando Crow:
00:07:11
You are going to get talked to, and you need to understand the
Commando Crow:
00:07:17
possible consequences of not learning and appreciating that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:07:23
You need somebody that is sole focused on not who you are, what you are doing.
Commando Crow:
00:07:30
If you have a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:07:32
They need to be able to teach you firearm safety.
Commando Crow:
00:07:36
Learn firearm safety, learn how to deploy your weapon and to acquire your target.
Commando Crow:
00:07:43
That's the first and foremost.
Commando Crow:
00:07:45
Yeah, that's important.
Commando Crow:
00:07:47
And check your feelings at the door.
Commando Crow:
00:07:49
Don't even worry about taking your feelings with you
Commando Crow:
00:07:51
because you don't need those.
Commando Crow:
00:07:54
All American Commando: You don't need them.
Commando Crow:
00:07:55
But, and the reason we came to the second amendment talking about site
Commando Crow:
00:08:01
security is Once you get the weapon and I would leave it up to each
Commando Crow:
00:08:08
individual because everybody's situation is different everybody's So talk to
Commando Crow:
00:08:13
somebody prior to purchasing a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:15
Tell them what your immediate needs are for that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:19
Explain to them the environment that you are immediately trying
Commando Crow:
00:08:24
to defend, being your home.
Commando Crow:
00:08:26
Is it a brick structure?
Commando Crow:
00:08:27
Is it a wood structure?
Commando Crow:
00:08:29
Is it stucco?
Commando Crow:
00:08:30
Does it, everything about it.
Commando Crow:
00:08:31
Tell them that you are trying to have a self defense weapon for your property.
Commando Crow:
00:08:39
Get a lot of different Input.
Commando Crow:
00:08:44
Input on the type of weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:08:47
Okay.
Commando Crow:
00:08:48
Now, once you have determined which weapon that you're going to purchase, and that
Commando Crow:
00:08:53
you have started taking some type of firearm safety class, and an instructor
Commando Crow:
00:08:59
is teaching you proper use of the weapon, then you need to start understanding.
Commando Crow:
00:09:04
Ask, There is no better way to find out about a firearm and I'm military trained
Commando Crow:
00:09:11
and I still buzz people's ears because the technology changes all the time.
Commando Crow:
00:09:17
It's not static.
Commando Crow:
00:09:19
It is rapidly changing.
Commando Crow:
00:09:21
I'm not ashamed to say it.
Commando Crow:
00:09:23
I don't know everything.
Commando Crow:
00:09:24
And I'm going to ask if you use a pistol, you're probably going
Commando Crow:
00:09:30
to want to utilize hollow points.
Commando Crow:
00:09:33
And this goes into the communicating part.
Commando Crow:
00:09:37
If you have a firearm, and you have a family in your home, and
Commando Crow:
00:09:42
you have a weapon, and you have to engage a perpetrator, 911 is
Commando Crow:
00:09:47
already on the phone, it's already on speaker, it's already on document.
Commando Crow:
00:09:54
And if you have Children, they need to know if somebody comes in
Commando Crow:
00:09:58
this house, lay flat on the floor.
Commando Crow:
00:10:02
That way, if you engage a perpetrator and you shoot them and it goes through
Commando Crow:
00:10:07
the wall, then it's going to go over the head likely of your Children.
Commando Crow:
00:10:13
If your spouse is there.
Commando Crow:
00:10:16
Your spouse needs to know what to do.
Commando Crow:
00:10:19
Anytime a firearm is deployed, you always, I don't care if it's combat, I
Commando Crow:
00:10:26
don't care if it's personal defense, I don't give a shit if you're at a range.
Commando Crow:
00:10:32
You always identify your target, period.
Commando Crow:
00:10:37
Before you squeeze the trigger, before you put your finger on the trigger,
Commando Crow:
00:10:42
Yeah, don't be a gangbanger and just start waving your gun around
Commando Crow:
00:10:45
with your finger on the trigger.
Commando Crow:
00:10:46
That's dangerous for everybody.
Commando Crow:
00:10:48
All American Commando: Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:10:49
Because you have to think of the safety of your family.
Commando Crow:
00:10:52
Remember, preservation of life.
Commando Crow:
00:10:56
That is the mission.
Commando Crow:
00:11:01
That is what is on your mind.
Commando Crow:
00:11:03
It is not badass or Billy the Kid or it is to protect life.
Commando Crow:
00:11:09
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:11:09
And quite frankly, on a personal level if it's gonna be inside my
Commando Crow:
00:11:13
dwelling, I'm just going for a knife.
Commando Crow:
00:11:15
I'm just saying . It's
Commando Crow:
00:11:17
All American Commando: just that's me.
Commando Crow:
00:11:17
And sometimes the situation won't allow for that if
Commando Crow:
00:11:20
there's multiple as statements.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
That's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
That's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:21
True, that's true.
Commando Crow:
00:11:23
But you need to understand the type of bullets or ammunition that you're using.
Commando Crow:
00:11:29
Some bullets will go clean through the house and exit the front or the back,
Commando Crow:
00:11:33
and it might go in the neighbor's house.
Commando Crow:
00:11:35
You don't want that.
Commando Crow:
00:11:35
All American Commando: learn.
Commando Crow:
00:11:36
Your ammunition, get the appropriate ammunition for the firearm that
Commando Crow:
00:11:42
you chose to best defend your home.
Commando Crow:
00:11:46
Including the grain load.
Commando Crow:
00:11:47
That's important.
Commando Crow:
00:11:49
Yeah, but yes, not as important probably as whether or not you use them.
Commando Crow:
00:11:56
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:11:57
It is important because it determines how much
Commando Crow:
00:11:59
velocity is behind that round.
Commando Crow:
00:12:02
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:12:03
But.
Commando Crow:
00:12:04
You can get a hypersonic load that will mushroom, and it will still pass through
Commando Crow:
00:12:11
a few walls, but it depends on the bullet.
Commando Crow:
00:12:17
The bullet is just as important as the gun.
Commando Crow:
00:12:21
You go to the range, you're gonna use probably, let's just say AR,
Commando Crow:
00:12:25
you're gonna use an AR platform.
Commando Crow:
00:12:27
A 2 23.
Commando Crow:
00:12:29
Heck, when I go to the range, I'm gonna use the cheapest bullets I can a 55 grain.
Commando Crow:
00:12:33
I usually use American Eagle.
Commando Crow:
00:12:35
There's a bunch of quality bullets out there.
Commando Crow:
00:12:37
I'm not sponsored by anybody.
Commando Crow:
00:12:39
That's what I use.
Commando Crow:
00:12:41
And it's more efficient.
Commando Crow:
00:12:43
It's a range bullet.
Commando Crow:
00:12:45
It's cheaper.
Commando Crow:
00:12:45
I was say, if you're going to the
Commando Crow:
00:12:46
range, you don't want something that you're going to use for any other
Commando Crow:
00:12:49
purpose, but the range, you don't wanna spend top dollar on range rounds.
Commando Crow:
00:12:53
Don't want something that's gonna gunk up your gun and cause it to jam either.
Commando Crow:
00:12:57
All American Commando: On top of your instructor, when you decide
Commando Crow:
00:13:00
the weapon that you want, the gunked up gun, cause it is ineffective.
Commando Crow:
00:13:06
It's a paperweight.
Commando Crow:
00:13:07
Let's say that again.
Commando Crow:
00:13:08
You get your instructor, if your instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:13:13
does not take the time to teach you how to properly clean your weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:13:18
Find another instructor.
Commando Crow:
00:13:20
Cleaning the weapon is just as important as knowing how to properly
Commando Crow:
00:13:25
use it in a safe fashion and acquiring and engaging a target.
Commando Crow:
00:13:30
Cleaning a weapon is part of, it's no different than owning a car.
Commando Crow:
00:13:35
If you have to add water or oil, you do it.
Commando Crow:
00:13:38
And if you don't do it, the car will break down.
Commando Crow:
00:13:41
Have to say that the cleaning weapon falls
Commando Crow:
00:13:43
under the category of safety.
Commando Crow:
00:13:46
Unless you pulled the trigger and heard that thunk, you have no idea.
Commando Crow:
00:13:50
You don't want to hear that.
Commando Crow:
00:13:52
But you know what I'm saying, it falls under the category of safety all day long.
Commando Crow:
00:13:57
If you don't have a clean weapon, you're looking at all kinds of problems down
Commando Crow:
00:14:00
the road that you really don't want.
Commando Crow:
00:14:02
All American Commando: Oh, absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:14:04
There's numerous malfunctions that unclean weapon is an dirty weapon is an unsafe
Commando Crow:
00:14:12
weapon and it should not be used period.
Commando Crow:
00:14:15
If you choose to buy a weapon, ask questions, figure out the best weapon for
Commando Crow:
00:14:21
the purpose that you're getting it for, explore munitions, ask questions, get
Commando Crow:
00:14:27
the right munitions for the environment that you're going to deploy that weapon
Commando Crow:
00:14:31
in, and learn how to clean that weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:14:34
Now, if anybody out there has any favorite weapons that they like to use
Commando Crow:
00:14:40
for home defense, or if anybody out there has any tidbits of information that
Commando Crow:
00:14:46
might have more training than myself.
Commando Crow:
00:14:48
It doesn't even matter if it's less training than me.
Commando Crow:
00:14:51
If you have an interesting perspective on this, I really do want to hear
Commando Crow:
00:14:55
it because I'm here to learn just as well as I am to spread a little
Commando Crow:
00:14:59
bit of the knowledge that I do have.
Commando Crow:
00:15:01
Most definitely because I would love to think I know a lot.
Commando Crow:
00:15:06
I'd like to think that, but it seems the more people I meet,
Commando Crow:
00:15:09
the more I learn, I don't know.
Commando Crow:
00:15:12
All American Commando: So yeah, I know a little bit about a lot of shit and
Commando Crow:
00:15:14
that's about the extent of my knowledge.
Commando Crow:
00:15:16
It's fun to think, everything for about 30 seconds.
Commando Crow:
00:15:19
That's as far as it goes.
Commando Crow:
00:15:22
All American Commando: Now, another thing that I would talk about back
Commando Crow:
00:15:26
to pace, you got a primary, you got an alternate, you got a contingency,
Commando Crow:
00:15:31
and then you got an emergency.
Commando Crow:
00:15:33
Fallback positions, primary position, defend your own right
Commando Crow:
00:15:39
now, an alternate position.
Commando Crow:
00:15:42
Everybody should use their brain.
Commando Crow:
00:15:44
Sun Tzu even says the wise warrior will avoid the fight.
Commando Crow:
00:15:49
Okay.
Commando Crow:
00:15:50
If you are utilizing a weapon that has a higher capacity to defend your home and
Commando Crow:
00:15:57
you have multiple assailants come in your home, you are still at a disadvantage
Commando Crow:
00:16:03
because there are multiple assailants.
Commando Crow:
00:16:05
You're not going to know for sure if they're coming in the same entry point.
Commando Crow:
00:16:08
You're not going to you don't know all the breach points, but if it's
Commando Crow:
00:16:12
one or two people coming in your home and you're using a high capacity
Commando Crow:
00:16:16
magazine, you have an advantage.
Commando Crow:
00:16:20
Now, when you're at the range and you're shooting targets, they do not shoot back.
Commando Crow:
00:16:25
You might be able to hit the target 10 out of 10 times, 20 out
Commando Crow:
00:16:29
of 20 times, 30 out of 30 times.
Commando Crow:
00:16:32
When the target shoots back, your accuracy is going to fall off immensely.
Commando Crow:
00:16:41
For a lot of reasons, but a lot of times you got to take cover.
Commando Crow:
00:16:44
So if it comes to a point that you have to go to an alternate location
Commando Crow:
00:16:50
and you cannot preserve life anymore at your home, then you have to
Commando Crow:
00:16:56
be able to bug out of that home.
Commando Crow:
00:16:59
So you need to have some type of a go bag.
Commando Crow:
00:17:02
Now, I can get into a million different scenarios and situations.
Commando Crow:
00:17:09
It would be impossible for me to cover each of them and provide adequate
Commando Crow:
00:17:14
information on any of them if I did that.
Commando Crow:
00:17:17
So let's just say you had to bug out and you had to bug out for up to 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:23
Your home is being overrun.
Commando Crow:
00:17:26
You cannot protect the lives of you or the people in your home.
Commando Crow:
00:17:32
Forget about your property.
Commando Crow:
00:17:33
Your property doesn't matter.
Commando Crow:
00:17:36
If you have to grab a bug out bag, it should be set for 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:41
Because if you can come back home in 72 hours a period, if you weren't
Commando Crow:
00:17:47
able to defend it and you flee, your home will probably be cleaned
Commando Crow:
00:17:51
out by the end of that 72 hours.
Commando Crow:
00:17:54
So chances are it will be of no use to anybody trying to break in it later, and
Commando Crow:
00:17:59
you might be able to come home again.
Commando Crow:
00:18:02
Correct.
Commando Crow:
00:18:03
Bug out bags.
Commando Crow:
00:18:05
There's some research.
Commando Crow:
00:18:06
I could definitely go through a whole bunch of, I could list a bunch of
Commando Crow:
00:18:13
things to go into a 72 hour pack.
Commando Crow:
00:18:16
That would be like an assault pack for me.
Commando Crow:
00:18:20
That would be something that I could go.
Commando Crow:
00:18:22
Something that's very light.
Commando Crow:
00:18:24
I still remain quick and agile.
Commando Crow:
00:18:28
Emergency shelter, some type of weather protection, like
Commando Crow:
00:18:32
from rain or cold, layers.
Commando Crow:
00:18:35
You obviously, depending on how many people you have, you could go
Commando Crow:
00:18:42
three days without water, but you don't want to go one without water.
Commando Crow:
00:18:46
You can go three weeks without food, but you don't want to.
Commando Crow:
00:18:50
This right here?
Commando Crow:
00:18:50
Yes.
Commando Crow:
00:18:51
This is a bugger out bag and yes, it looks quite large actually.
Commando Crow:
00:18:56
If you expand it all the way, how many large is that?
Commando Crow:
00:18:58
This was 45, 45 liters.
Commando Crow:
00:19:02
You can carry more than enough for three days in this bag, and you
Commando Crow:
00:19:08
can actually attach extra external stuff,
Commando Crow:
00:19:11
All American Commando: but if you look at the MOLLE system on it,
Commando Crow:
00:19:13
that's correct.
Commando Crow:
00:19:15
For anybody interested, and I'm spreading this apart because I don't
Commando Crow:
00:19:19
have it filled up right now, however, this is probably more than enough.
Commando Crow:
00:19:25
For a typical 3 day, bug out and absolutely
Commando Crow:
00:19:30
quite frankly, I think this is probably a little
Commando Crow:
00:19:33
larger than what I would need.
Commando Crow:
00:19:35
I actually had this 1 for Laura to carry in case she needs to carry something.
Commando Crow:
00:19:40
Because that 70 later that you send me, that's entirely too much for her.
Commando Crow:
00:19:44
And I know that I would put quite a bit in it, but just for the sake of.
Commando Crow:
00:19:50
All American Commando: People watching this is a bag right there would be ideal
Commando Crow:
00:19:54
for a get home bag something to pack And high energy food if you're away and you're
Commando Crow:
00:20:02
just trying to get home, wind protection rain protection Yeah, and I have I mean
Commando Crow:
00:20:11
I do have here I'll make sure I got them the next time
Commando Crow:
00:20:14
we bring something up, but I have I actually have a small medical bag And
Commando Crow:
00:20:19
when I say small, it is very sm Look, I don't know if you can see it very
Commando Crow:
00:20:26
well on here, but this pouch right here is about the size of my medical bag.
Commando Crow:
00:20:32
That's about it, okay?
Commando Crow:
00:20:35
And quite frankly, it has most everything you need in it, as far as
Commando Crow:
00:20:40
gauze it's got tape, self adhesive tape, you got band aids of different
Commando Crow:
00:20:46
sizes, alcohol swabs, stain swabs, And I forget what they call them, Patrick.
Commando Crow:
00:20:52
What, I guess it's just a sting wipe or,
Commando Crow:
00:20:54
All American Commando: it's what I'm talking about.
Commando Crow:
00:20:57
It's not for anti itch cream for, or a wipe for if you get a
Commando Crow:
00:21:04
bites or, yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:21:06
And that's what it comes with that now also have a sewing kit
Commando Crow:
00:21:11
that I have separate, but it fits in my metal bag, medical bag.
Commando Crow:
00:21:15
And all of that will fit in that one pocket I just showed you.
Commando Crow:
00:21:18
So don't do like I didn't get carried away with how much stuff
Commando Crow:
00:21:21
do I have to have and what all do I need to carry anything like that?
Commando Crow:
00:21:25
And look, this right here, or your bug out bag,
Commando Crow:
00:21:29
All American Commando: you need it.
Commando Crow:
00:21:31
Don't go without it.
Commando Crow:
00:21:32
Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:21:34
That's exactly right.
Commando Crow:
00:21:36
And that would be if you have to prepare for more than 72 hours, a
Commando Crow:
00:21:40
standard bug out bag, you figure 72 hours, you're probably good.
Commando Crow:
00:21:44
Once again, anybody disagrees with me, share your thoughts and feelings on that.
Commando Crow:
00:21:48
Everybody's different.
Commando Crow:
00:21:50
Everybody's environment is different.
Commando Crow:
00:21:51
Some people are urban.
Commando Crow:
00:21:53
Some people do not have a secondary place that they can go.
Commando Crow:
00:21:57
I would just be interested
Commando Crow:
00:21:58
in knowing what other people Might have to deal
Commando Crow:
00:22:01
with and what they think, what they feel is best for them to carry.
Commando Crow:
00:22:04
And yeah, because quite frankly, even though we may live in different
Commando Crow:
00:22:08
hemispheres, somebody else may have their bag set up for an emergency
Commando Crow:
00:22:14
situation and have something in that bag that would probably be beneficial.
Commando Crow:
00:22:19
I would like to hear it.
Commando Crow:
00:22:20
I think it would be good to hear it because we're not local,
Commando Crow:
00:22:23
we talk to people everywhere.
Commando Crow:
00:22:25
But all in all, and that video that I watched that you sent me, I don't
Commando Crow:
00:22:30
think that guy would disagree.
Commando Crow:
00:22:33
This is all you need for 72
Commando Crow:
00:22:35
All American Commando: hours.
Commando Crow:
00:22:36
Yeah, you're probably right.
Commando Crow:
00:22:38
The bag he was carrying wasn't this big.
Commando Crow:
00:22:42
I personally, I'm going to look for a little bit more space.
Commando Crow:
00:22:44
No, everybody's got their own preference.
Commando Crow:
00:22:46
And mind you, I'm used to, and the day I was in, I carried Alice pack, so
Commando Crow:
00:22:50
that was a large bag and external frame that's not needed for communications,
Commando Crow:
00:22:55
equipment and everything else.
Commando Crow:
00:22:56
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:22:56
That bag's definitely overkill for a 72 hour bug out.
Commando Crow:
00:23:00
That would be very much overkill, but, and this.
Commando Crow:
00:23:05
You need some of these.
Commando Crow:
00:23:07
All American Commando: Oh, yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:23:08
Just ask around.
Commando Crow:
00:23:11
We're trying to do things to aid people in being prepared.
Commando Crow:
00:23:15
We're not trying to set the standard.
Commando Crow:
00:23:17
Everyone is different and unique.
Commando Crow:
00:23:21
Everybody's physical ability is different.
Commando Crow:
00:23:24
Everybody's needs and requirements are different.
Commando Crow:
00:23:27
So if you talk to anybody that
Commando Crow:
00:23:29
does survival training or evasion training,
Commando Crow:
00:23:32
They'll tell you the same thing.
Commando Crow:
00:23:33
Everybody's situation is going to be unique to them and that situation
Commando Crow:
00:23:38
All American Commando: their environment That's right.
Commando Crow:
00:23:41
So nothing here is set in stone.
Commando Crow:
00:23:44
These are ideas.
Commando Crow:
00:23:45
And, again, we want to hear yours too, because your ideas
Commando Crow:
00:23:49
may benefit us in ways we didn't
Commando Crow:
00:23:50
All American Commando: consider.
Commando Crow:
00:23:51
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:23:53
Man, I hate to do this, man.
Commando Crow:
00:23:54
I really do.
Commando Crow:
00:23:55
I'm gonna have to get this damn shoulder up here.
Commando Crow:
00:24:00
But yeah, it's, people need to start, and I don't mean to say need
Commando Crow:
00:24:05
to, I do mean it, I don't mean it.
Commando Crow:
00:24:08
I don't mean it.
Commando Crow:
00:24:08
It look at it like a game start paying attention to things and like a
Commando Crow:
00:24:14
self, when you talk about things like situational awareness, we've talked
Commando Crow:
00:24:21
about this on a previous episode, everybody goes to convenience stores.
Commando Crow:
00:24:25
Convenience stores get robbed regular.
Commando Crow:
00:24:28
You go into a convenience store.
Commando Crow:
00:24:30
Take note of everybody in there.
Commando Crow:
00:24:31
Take note of the possible exits.
Commando Crow:
00:24:32
Take note of whatever you can take note of in there just in case something
Commando Crow:
00:24:38
negative happens outside of your control to where you can preserve your life.
Commando Crow:
00:24:42
That is your goal.
Commando Crow:
00:24:44
Life preservation.
Commando Crow:
00:24:46
No matter who you are, where you are, it doesn't just have to be at home.
Commando Crow:
00:24:50
So always keep your eyes open for things that look funny or out of place.
Commando Crow:
00:24:55
Or, you just, you, if you get a feeling in your gut that something
Commando Crow:
00:25:00
is not right, you know what?
Commando Crow:
00:25:02
Something is probably not right.
Commando Crow:
00:25:06
I'm gonna also go back a little bit on self defense, site defense.
Commando Crow:
00:25:10
Alright.
Commando Crow:
00:25:12
I don't, like I said, don't matter if it's a house or an apartment,
Commando Crow:
00:25:18
never arm your assailants.
Commando Crow:
00:25:21
So if you have things outside that are like shovels or pickaxes, axes, anything.
Commando Crow:
00:25:29
If you have any tools that are outside that can be utilized as a weapon against
Commando Crow:
00:25:35
you or a way to bust in windows or doors, keep that stuff policed, pick it up,
Commando Crow:
00:25:43
store it in a proper location so that.
Commando Crow:
00:25:47
Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.
Commando Crow:
00:25:49
If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to
Commando Crow:
00:25:51
go just digging through a storage shed.
Commando Crow:
00:25:54
I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage
Commando Crow:
00:25:58
shed, of course, they're probably going to see what kind of tools they
Commando Crow:
00:26:00
can find to breach your perimeter.
Commando Crow:
00:26:02
But then again, if it's a locked storage shed, that'll give
Commando Crow:
00:26:05
you a heads up that somebody's out.
Commando Crow:
00:26:08
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:26:09
So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:14
That's part of just perimeter security.
Commando Crow:
00:26:18
It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever
Commando Crow:
00:26:25
it is that's coming to get you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:27
It's just not a good idea.
Commando Crow:
00:26:29
I think that goes back to, making sure you know where everything is, policing
Commando Crow:
00:26:32
the perimeter, policing your borders.
Commando Crow:
00:26:35
Thank you.
Commando Crow:
00:26:36
However you want to put it.
Commando Crow:
00:26:37
Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.
Commando Crow:
00:26:39
Look, I think you and I both know pretty well that anything
Commando Crow:
00:26:42
that moves can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:26:44
If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:26:46
So try to minimize.
Commando Crow:
00:26:49
What anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.
Commando Crow:
00:26:56
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:26:57
It's of the utmost importance.
Commando Crow:
00:26:59
I would like to see what the stats are of the number of people that have
Commando Crow:
00:27:04
assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.
Commando Crow:
00:27:07
I wonder what the.
Commando Crow:
00:27:10
I could tell you what
Commando Crow:
00:27:10
the stats are of Paul Pelosi being invaded by men and underwear.
Commando Crow:
00:27:16
Let's hit the bed.
Commando Crow:
00:27:17
I don't know what the other guys do.
Commando Crow:
00:27:20
But we're going to hear from you.
Commando Crow:
00:27:22
Just send us an email to podteam at the constitution.
Commando Crow:
00:27:25
Fernando's dot org.
Commando Crow:
00:27:27
And don't forget.
Commando Crow:
00:27:28
All American Commando: so that.
Commando Crow:
00:27:29
Out of sight, out of mind is a big factor.
Commando Crow:
00:27:31
If somebody is going to break into your house, they're probably not going to
Commando Crow:
00:27:34
go just digging through a storage shed.
Commando Crow:
00:27:37
I'm not saying they won't, if they can't get in and they see a storage

Commando Crow:
00:27:48
a heads up that somebody's out.
Commando Crow:
00:27:51
Absolutely.
Commando Crow:
00:27:52
So don't leave things out that can be utilized as weapons against you.
Commando Crow:
00:27:57
All American Commando: Uh,
Commando Crow:
00:27:57
that's part of just perimeter security.
Commando Crow:
00:28:01
It would never behoove you to leave weaponry in the hands of whoever
Commando Crow:
00:28:08
it is that's coming to get you.
Commando Crow:
00:28:09
It's just not a good idea.
Commando Crow:
00:28:12
All American Commando: Well,
Commando Crow:
00:28:12
I think that goes back
Commando Crow:
00:28:13
to, you know, making sure you know where everything is, policing the
Commando Crow:
00:28:16
perimeter, policing your borders.
Commando Crow:
00:28:19
Thank you.
Commando Crow:
00:28:20
However you want to put it.
Commando Crow:
00:28:21
Yeah, you don't want to leave things lying around.

If you can pick it up, it can be a weapon.
Commando Crow:
00:28:30
So try to minimize.
Commando Crow:
00:28:33
What, what anybody who calls, who wants to cause you harm can get their hands on.
Commando Crow:
00:28:42
All American Commando: Yeah.
Commando Crow:
00:28:43
It, it, it's of the utmost importance.
Commando Crow:
00:28:45
I mean, I, I would like to see what the stats are of the number
Commando Crow:
00:28:48
of people that have assaulted homeowners with their own stuff.

It's on podchester.

Commando Crow:
00:29:21
Leave us a review, let us know how we do it.
Commando Crow:
00:29:24
It takes a moment and it helps us out tremendously until next time.
Commando Crow:
00:29:28
And on behalf of my brother and myself, we're the constitution
Commando Crow:
