Everything I know about choosing and buying a gun, in a book: https://thomashadley.com/
In this video, I break down ten home-defense weapons that Amazon still ships directly to your door with no permit, no background check, and no waiting period. From a virtually indestructible polypropylene bat to full-auto CO2 rifles and big-bore air rifles powerful enough to take down wild boar, I cover what each option actually delivers and where it falls short so you can make an informed decision for your household.
I also walk through the legal landscape around each weapon, including which states and cities restrict certain devices, and explain the ATF classifications that keep high-powered air rifles off the firearms registry entirely. Number one on the list produces 705 foot-pounds of muzzle energy out of a rifle that runs on compressed air and ships in a cardboard box, and the gap between it and a traditional firearm is smaller than most people think.
Disclaimer: All items featured are legal for adults 18 and older in most U.S. states, but laws vary significantly by state and city. Stun devices are banned outright in several jurisdictions, and certain launchers and air rifles are restricted or unavailable in specific locations. Always verify your state and local laws before purchasing any of the products shown in this video. Nothing in this video constitutes legal advice.
