Mega Rad Gun Thread

We lost a real one today friends, this hurts more than I can admit.

I’ve never watched a Paul Harrell video, but from what I can gather, he was just a fun and informative man that loved talking about gun safety and the history of guns as a hobby. If anything, you’re seeing less and less of these kinds of YouTubers on a social media scale — actual people that not only entertain, but want to spread and share more about their favorite hobbies and not make it all about themselves.

I might just watch more of his videos out of tribute, even if I don’t know where to start. Paul was a real gem out of fake diamonds in the rough. Prayers and condolences to his family.

Click any video King and just watch, you can't go wrong.
 
If it's alright for me to ask. What was your guy's first Paul video and your favorite one? My first was his CCW guide video and my favorite one is the Miami dade shootout.
I do not know my first but my favorite was all of them. I think if I had to pick it was his home defense video where he described why some shotgun rounds were not a great choice.

"How to spot a fake expert."

It was a big influence on me when I was in the firearms business. It really helped me shape the way I approached situations where something I wasn't familiar with came up. Instead of "that doesn't exist", my default response became "that isn't something I'm familiar with". It helped reinforce a humble approach to firearms and sales in general that I've carried forward with me in the various careers I've had in the last decade.

Despite being an "e-celeb" or whatever anyone cares to describe him as, Paul was very grounded in the real world, was a very sensible person, and his manner of explaining things and his approach to sharing knowledge was a big influence on me. Even though it wasn't a surprise, especially considering the video they uploaded yesterday, his death has hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. I'm grateful that he left his knowledge with the world.
 
He would have been a great teacher.
He was a dental assistant for a long time. Imagine getting your teeth cleaned by him. "We're in the office today so bear with any drilling you hear in the background. Now, a lot of viewers have asked me, do you really need to wait 24 hours after a filling before you eat? Well, today we'll find out."
 
Rest in peace king, I will miss him dearly.

In honor of his memory here are some favorite pictures of Paul:

He also was humble (especially for a youtuber), but not in that "aw shucks" humblebrag way. More in the "I served and did nothing more than anyone else around me" kind of way.

For all his faults, the "beef" from YM was a goof. I do not see him celebrating this; indeed, he's said very much the opposite (including tonight at the beginning of his stream)

Unlike the one with Caleb "gun nuts media" Giddings (for which the paul video "Rebuttal" was created).
Mire like Gayleb Yiddings
