I was going to post something, but a lot of P-F members have a negative opinion of Paul. That’s a tough cancer, and the one year survival rate is 10%.
Paul is great for new shooters, and is a welcome relief from tacticool operator channels.
Paul is a unique guy, and I do not agree with a lot of his advice. He is the type of guy that can make most anything work for him. Sometimes, those guys have a hard time understanding why what works for them is not the best way for everyone.
That said, I do appreciate him and his unique mindset, and I wish his body, and more importantly soul, health.
I don’t know the guy and have never seen one of his videos, but I wouldn’t wish pancreatic cancer on anyone but my worst enemies. That’s how my dad died and it’s not a great way to go.

Well that sucks. He has always been an entertaining guy. I know some here look down on him but in the end he is on our side. Not a good prognosis but I wish him the best.
I know what has basically been expressed in this thread about him. I’ll say a prayer for Paul. I’m really sorry to hear this.
God Bless,
Brandon
Same from me. Sad news.

FUCK CANCER!
My best to Paul. I've seen a few of his videos.
I wish him the best. He has always seemed like a super fit health nut, but cancers among veterans have really shot up in recent years:
https://nypost.com/2019/10/30/dramat...new-questions/The rate of treatments for ex-soldiers with liver and pancreatic cancers at Department of Veterans Affairs health care centers have increased an astonishing 96 percent between fiscal year 2000 and 2018, according to a McClatchy investigation published Wednesday.
During the same period, the rate of treatment for urinary cancers — including bladder, kidney and ureter cancers — increased 61 percent, according to the report.
Prostate cancer treatment rates increased 23 percent, and the rate of blood cancer treatments — lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia — rose 18 percent.
I came across his stuff when I started more earnestly trying to educate myself about guns (beyond just basic gun reviews). He was my first real exposure to the idea that if you can shoot a gun and it's reliable, it gets the job done. He does "testing", which reasonable people can have plenty of disagreements with, but the overarching theme that I took away from his videos was was that skill mattered way more than gear.
