Colion Noir

Colion Noir describes himself on his own channel as an attorney, gun rights activist, and urban gun enthusiast, and his site, mrcolionnoir.com, calls the same posture out in its banner: 2A advocate and urban gun enthusiast. He started posting gear reviews in 2011, hosted the NOIR series for NRA Freestyle in the mid-2010s, and now publishes at a pace approaching two videos a day. The channel is best understood as a one-man commentary newsroom wrapped around a gun store: defensive-gun-use breakdowns, Second Amendment law and ATF rule explainers, gun-culture commentary, and gear reviews, in roughly that order of weight.

His teaching rests on a few claims he returns to constantly, all presented here as his positions. The gun is the equalizer: in his telling, the most vulnerable person in a story — the outnumbered defender, the mother home alone — is the whole argument for the Second Amendment. You are your own first responder: his breakdowns run the response-time arithmetic and conclude that the armed citizen already on scene is the fastest response there is, a doctrine he brands “I Am The Militia.” And winning the gunfight is only half the fight: the framework that separates him from other gun channels is his sustained attention to the legal aftermath — the criminal investigation, the civil suit he says follows even a cleared shooting, and why what a defender says to police gets audited against the physical record. His concealed-carry partnership with USCCA grows directly out of that framework, and he says so on camera.

His carry doctrine is equally specific: carry concealed, chambered, retained, and on your body; access beats firepower, because a gun locked in another room loses to the clock; and the goal is to stop the threat. For new owners he teaches a ladder — learn the four safety rules before touching a gun, shoot your actual gun with your actual defensive ammunition, take a real self-defense course, learn your own state’s statutes, and get the carry license even if you bought the gun for home. The culture layer keeps the channel human: his most-viewed video ever is a comedy piece, “7 Types of People At The Range.”

Disclosure: Colion Noir sells his own merchandise through his shop, partners with USCCA, and is sponsored by Nosler ammunition. SGV presents his legal and incident analysis attributed to him — it is his advocacy and teaching, not SGV’s conclusions and not legal advice.
