Gun Owner Types: The "I Wish a Mother F***er Would" Type

About this video

Colion describes a dangerous personality type he calls the ‘I wish a [expletive] would guy’—someone who carries a gun with what he terms ‘plastic courage,’ believing themselves invincible and mentally living in a fantasy where nothing goes wrong. He argues this person seeks confrontation to prove dominance, skips de-escalation, and ironically often lacks real training or realistic understanding of defensive scenarios. Colion contrasts this with responsible carriers who train seriously and understand the harsh realities of defensive gun use.

Key takeaways

• Colion warns against letting ego drive your concealed carry mindset, which he says creates dangerous ‘plastic courage’ and invincibility fantasies
• According to Colion, the ‘I wish a [expletive] would’ type ignores realistic training concerns like malfunctions, fear, and mistakes that can occur in actual defensive encounters
• Colion emphasizes that responsible carriers train regularly and mentally prepare for worst-case realities, rather than living in overconfident fantasies
