James Yeager - Types of Gun Owners

[churchmouse]

I saw this as informative. I know some of all these "Types" and agree with him for the most part.
Now as to the 1911 comment, he can back the Hell off that as most of the Martial artist types I know carry one in some form or another. I EDC a Springer TRP but that does not make me an artist of any kind.

Which one am I, at my age, a combo of a few types.

So once again, unless you carry a Glock, you aren't a "serious" gun owner. Got it, thanks.

I prefer the term "Internet Ninja".

I do carry my gun everywhere and it does have scratches and wear on the high points...... but I have a leather holster.

I'm not sure where I belong.

But you don't wear pants. See the problem? It's a conundrum.

Leather really should not scratch a gun and not wearing pants? I can see where the holster wear comes from but the rest I just don't want to know.

I thought he said scratches "on your Hi Point". Now I'm confused.

According to Mr. Yeager I am an Internet Troll, with no Honor...

So we have heard. What did you do to make him so angry?

 

[churchmouse]

My hi-point wouldn't fit in my leather so I sold it.

That did not come out right.

Stainless shows little if any wear.

He forgot to Bow Down!

Someone turn out the lights on this thread..............

Because you always belittle him and he thinks you don't have the guts to say it to his face? I bet you would. You should take him up on the offer and be sure to record it. I would love to see the look on his face. lol

I don't think I have ever belittled him here. I do question his Tactics, Techniques, Procedures, and Knowledge quite often though. But no more so than I do of anyone else who claims they are the best...

I do know a couple of persons who are attempting to take him up on his 1911 challenge though. For some reason they have not heard back from him on it...

Flight risk issued a challenge, people took him up on his offer, and he runs and hides. There's honor for you.

I have to agree with Dead Duck. These are getting old and the entertainment value is wearing thin.

Lol, by posting in here you really just wanted to say you secretly DO like these videos.

I didn't watch this one because I thought Yeager went back to his old ways. I've seen a dramatic and very noticeable change in him and he's continuing to put out great information, without the bravado. I can now enjoy his videos and even take something away.

As it relates to this video, a person may not want to be the type of gun owner that leans on "magic" and believes his gun is a lucky charm. However, life gets in the way and time allows us to take the one hour in the store to buy a gun, but not take a one-hour class to hone the skill to use it. Bottom line, if a person does not train with his gun, he is DANGEROUS. If you take a class and not practice the skills learned, you are DANGEROUS. These are my words, but I think it's what Yeager has always attempted to convey.

I've watched a few of his vids, and actually ended up giving the shotgun for home defense one a . He seems like a completely different person than when he did the 1911's suck video, and also offer legit quality information.

The majority of comments lately (and I agree) are that his videos are getting better/less offensive/more informative/etc. Here's my take on it, which holds absolutely NO WEIGHT WHATSOEVER.

As a new business owner, I know how hard it is to get your name out there to people. It can be expensive, time consuming and unpredictable. I look at JY's earlier videos as a combination of viral marketing mixed with "bad guy" wrestler. If any of you remember the old-school WWF and you had guys that were "good" and guys that were "bad" and they'd switch between the 2 all the time.

Whether he is really like the persona on his earlier videos or not, you have to admit it got A LOT of people talking about him and TR. Now that he has people watching, good or bad, he has a chance to make the conversion of people watching to people taking classes. If you watched his earlier videos and liked him then you're probably going to take a class. If you watched his earlier videos and were not sure about him but you keep watching you might actually become impressed with JY b/c he is informing about classes and tactics rather than "barking" about them and you might be more willing to take a class.

My $0.02 anyway.

This is the best thing I have seen thus far. I expect this is closer to who he really is.

Oh, I have met some of each of these.
