NOIR | ep. 7: Our Responsibility

About this video

Colion covers the mindset and responsibility that comes with concealed carry, contrasting recreational shooting with self-defense preparedness. He shares his view that carrying a gun requires holding yourself to a higher standard and avoiding unnecessary confrontations. Colion also walks through a simunition home-defense training exercise he completed with Trident Response Group, analyzes takeaways from bringing new shooters to the range, and delivers a satirical commentary on people who choose .40 caliber carry guns.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that carrying a concealed firearm brings a heightened responsibility to de-escalate and avoid conflict, even when you have nothing to prove.
• He argues that while the likelihood of needing your defensive firearm may be slim, the 1% of the time it matters is when everything counts.
• Colion emphasizes starting new shooters with .22 caliber firearms in outdoor settings to build positive experiences and foundational skills before progressing to larger calibers.
• Through his simunition training with Trident Response, Colion demonstrates that under stress people default to instinctive shooting rather than precise aimed fire, underscoring the value of repetitions and scenario-based practice.
