Carrying a gun is one right that should be exercised by as many law abiding citizens as possible but it does come with it's own issues especially when you have to use that gun in self defense. Let's talk about the things that you may have to deal with as a law abiding gun owner and concealed carrier. ATTENTION: All Firearms Shown Have A Mag Limiter In Place because of RUclips's policy on magazines. No mags shown exceed the limit placed by RUclips
#1 should be: Be prepared to WALK AWAY. If you are the type of person who can’t deescalate a conflict using your words like a grown adult, or are someone whose ego will not allow them walk away from a perceived challenge to your man/womanhood, you have no business carrying a loaded firearm in public.
This is absolutely key. Way easier said than done for most.
Agree but if you’re not ready to die or go to jail you have no business carrying a firearm. Period
@@mac11daddy6 , reread what you posted. How does carrying a firearm correlate to being ready to die? It's the absolute opposite 🤦♂️
@@sclancy79 being ready to die is that mindset of accepting to cross the threshold of no return, once a real life skirmish involving shots fired happens and that individual carrying a gun caught in crossfire may need to respond to the threatening human(s), thus realizing that they can be shot and probably die.
Brief answer: having a firearm on you does not make you invincible/invulnerable. We are still mortals, and we can still probably die in an aggressive event.
@@mac11daddy6 that’s ridiculous. If you are ready to die than why even bother.
#1 is a no go for me. I carry a gun to defend my family and myself. My first reaction to an active shooter is to get the hell out of the situation. My moral obligation is to make it home to my family.
Amen!
Agreed 💯. Now if we step in to help others with the laws today we'll go to jail and the shooter walks away just my two cents
@Steve Haney , or even worse. There's a video of a man at a Walmart who stepped in to stop a mass shooting who was killed by a second shooter (mass shooter's wife). Anyone who's gone through actual active shooter training knows to beware of multiple shooters. "Be prepared to be a hero" is some of the most ignorant advice I've ever heard.
I understand, and yet I fail to understand.
Sometimes a threat presented is one that you have to confront head on and plow through in order to get home safe.
Are you really safe with an active shooter anywhere within a mile from you? What's the real safe distance?
I don't know if I believe in the butterfly effect. I'm not even trying to play the devil's advocate here.
If the line for you is clearly drawn at your person and your immediate family, that's your prerogative.
I personally may consider the potential for extended family, friends, community members, leaders and healers, and even future friends / companions in this event.
I may consider my fellow countrymen or even my fellow man.
With how I grew up, it's surreal to come to terms with this. I held deep-seeded resentments and apathy failings, and responsibility was the last thing I wanted.
When I ultimately decided to take an Oath, I knew it would be one of many. I knew that I was going to have to be all in on responsibility. "Extreme Ownership."
@Tristan DizZo , I also took an oath. In fact, I've taken the oath several times. So with the training that's been beat into my head, unless you're the armed sentry on duty, you're supposed to "run, hide, fight" in that order. Guess when I took my oath, I took the TRAINING I've received more seriously than others.
Depends on the situation. I'm former military and former law enforcement. I have done 4 tours in Iraq and 6 years as a narcotics intervention cop. I carry every where. If I am completely alone and something goes down, if shots are not fired by the suspect what you can do is be the best eye witness. If the suspect is a credible threat then sure I will engage providing I can do so without "collateral" damage. If my family is with me then my mission is to protect them and get them away from harm.
USCCA is great but read the fine print, if you are charged with a crime in the use of your firearm they won't defend you.
I come from a nearly identical background but still active law enforcement… the video makes some good points, but you and I both know there’s more to it…
If you actually broke the law they won’t Becuase it’s illegal to insure illegal activity. Now if it was self defense and they are trying to charge you then they definitely will cover you.
Like a third party car warranty. They are worthless.
@@agerworks7034 wrong
@@agerworks7034 I'm not a legal expert. I'm just asking. Wouldn't the only reason you'd be defending yourself in court is if you were charged? If they don't provide an attorney when you are charged, isn't it pointless to pay for it?
Whenever he says "don't be a backseat gun owner", he means to defend your rights (voting, signing pro 2A petitions, calling representatives, etc.).That doesn't mean you have to wear pro 2A shirts and decorate your car with SIG logos. Being overly apparent over your gun ownership can make you a target to someone who wants your gun more badly than you want to keep it.
RIGTH ! and avoid being seen in the parking lot ,coming out of the gun shop with the nice looking bag and the big Glock logo on it.
I don't wear 2A clothing, have stickers on my cars, signs around my house or just talk about guns to just anyone. What's the use of jumping through all the hoops of gun ownership and CCW training to just let everybody know. CONCEALED is more than in your waistband.
That’s why I have HK stickers all over my car. Just kidding, I can’t afford them.😄
Exactly, if yu carry concealed, don't advertise!
#1) Only pull your gun if you or your family’s life is being threatened. #2) Live in a state that promotes self defense and believes in the Constitution.
Nope if you have a gun you should protect the ones around youn
@@demokid7118 No where anywhere does it state you need to be a hero. However if your saving someone you might also be saving yourself.
@@Kressark it's not being a hero it's doing what's right
@@demokid7118 no sir, those people won’t pay your legal fees when police decide that the shooter has more rights than you.
@@patrickjames3321 and this is why it's probably so many mass shootings as well now I get if you're not in the area but if you can see someone getting violated you should do something but if you don't know who the suspect is I can understand that
I'm a retired US Army veteran with 20 years of service, I'm well aware of a life or death situation I served in Desert storm. I carry every day to protect myself, my family or any innocent civilian. I swore an oath to protect the US constitution and this nation's citizen's, I'm still bonded to that oath.
Sir I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service and God bless you and yours
I’m new to CCW. Just got mine around six months ago.
In my class there was a Suffolk county sergeant teaching it, and he told me if you’re ever involved in the shooting you only say three simple things
I don’t feel good
I need to go to the hospital
I want an attorney
We even went through active, listening, diffusing situations, how to speak to people
Anyway, there was enough of a rant
Behind every bullet is an attorney
Insurance is racketeering, extortion, predatory practices.
Dont forget about how social media comments, videos and pics could hypothetically be used in your trial.
Remember that DA in your city that loves to put Criminals back onto the Streets ? He'll use every trick in the book to send you to Jail, including and not limited to exposing all your Social Media Accounts and paint you as a Vigilante and someone who went looking for trouble. For this reason I limit my time in Large Social events. This will get much worse before it gets better.
Iv carryed since i was 16, im now 60.iv trained for years,and iv helped train others..i know in my heart, in a situation where people are going to die, i would defend others...no situation will be like you think it is..mike Tyson said everyone has a plan untill they get punched in the mouth..
Bust that cap, and you will be cuffed and taken to jail,until they get it sorted out...no good deed goes unpunished.....
One thing to consider is what your EDC is. Mine is usually a light weight J Frame S&W or, in some circumstances, the LCP . Neither of these weapons is well suited for a long range confrontation w/a mass shooter.
All you have to do is hit the target. Alot of mass shooters really have modified pistols that fall into AR's. Even if you are far away and can get away choose running, every law abiding citizen has the right to have a gun, if they dont its not our story. You should never seek out using your gun on some one.
Someone asked me when I told them I was getting my concealed carry they asked things like "if ppl were shotting at each other would you step in", "would you try and stop a mass shooter", etc. Personally I'm not equipped to go into any of those fights. Ideally I'll never draw unless it's mine or my loved ones lives risk. Think part of the reason is when I was looking into getting my CCW I saw that video of John Wilcox getting murdered because he didn't know there was a second threat. I'd like to think that I would take action if the circumstances were right but I can't guarantee that
Sadly I live in Seattle, they banned gun insurance calling it "Murder Insurance" so we can not have insurance here. However, Legal Shield does have a policy for gun owners that is not considered insurance.
Great information and so much to consider, thank you and keep up the good work!
I'm not looking to be the hero. My goal is to save myself and my family. If running/hiding does that effectively, that's what I'm going to do. If the gun is the best/only option, that's what I'm going to go with.
Well.. I hope if I’m cowering from an active shooter and we’re in the same building you won’t run when you’re carrying and capable of saving me.
@@JoseMora-wc5zz sounds to me like you should carry as well to save your own ass. I’m not going to chase the cross fire if it’s not in my direction.
I’ve been carrying for years and years and years. I’ve trained and been to many classes. In training to go to Police academy. And it’s funny you brought this up because I already had this go through my head as well as talk to my family about it. We definitely have a plan, more importantly I have one for them in case of an unexpected situation.
Hi I'm new to the channel. I live in Phoenix Az our gun laws are crazy. You don't need to register your gun or a permit to conceal. I own a Glock and I go everywhere with it and Az is a stand your ground state as well...
What do you mean guns are crazy in AZ? Sounds like freedom
Crazy good yes. Im in commiefornia and we have struct rules and cant carry without permission from CA after leaving a generous tip. I visited AZ for a week and LOVED IT. I carried the entire time i was there and i avtually felt like a free american.
I need to move to Az!
@@KKJae187 are gun laws are crazy not gun's.
@@vincentsgaming nice that's awesome.
Not very many people that owns a gun knows how to use them. Our family is all country folks. We start learning guns very young.
Underrated video.
I've been asked if I could take someone's life. All I could say was don't know. Never been put in that situation
As a U.S. soldier 🇺🇲 and the harsh training I went through. I have no choice but to defend. I'm well equipped 💪🏽
Yup! Parkland Florida comes to mind. That officer failed to act!
I enjoy your videos ive thought about this same thing i was raised to always help and protect but nowadays we have to worry about it our government will press charges and put the hero in jail stay safe and be responsible God bless all Americans
My sidearm is primarily for protecting me, my family and perhaps a third party; however, if that third party turns out to be a mall of a hundred or more people facing a group of active shooters with rifles - man I only have a sidearm and they are likely to even have on body armor. A job like that is better suited for law enforcement. A multitude of calls generally gets police on scene in less than 10 minutes. I can't just go around playing heroics because I'm carrying a sidearm. I need to stay alive for the sake of my family, but will do whatever is in my power to safely mitigate the factor from the point of safety.
Here's a question. If the scenario is a mall of a hundred or more people facing an active shooter or even a few of them, why would there be nobody else within that entire group carrying concealed? We would be playing the numbers here.
always carry pepperspray or something like byrna if you carry an actual handgun so you have something non lethal
Also, walk away and run if you can.
I’m new here. What does “to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” mean?
in the case of an active shooter just remember the police, and other carriers, are on the lookout for someone in civilian clothing with a weapon.
i understand some people are not going to be prepared or that need to stop an active shooter. if you can stop an active shooter absolutly great but if you dont feel you can emotionally do it that is you choice. just be very careful not to get mistaken for an active shooter.
I do not want my wife putting herself or my kids in a bad situation engaging an active shooter… I want her to get to safety asap.
Her job is to protect herself and our children. Not engage an active shooter unless it is required to protect herself or our kids.
Too many people displaying ''I have nothing left to loose''. Driving, shopping arguments are not worth it. At this moment in time I am willing to swallow my pride. Seems to me 20 to 30% of the population are having addiction or mental problems.
Don’t be a hero use your head and common senses. You know when your life is threatened when your body reacts and you don’t think but most of all know your surroundings. I was in court for 2 guys tried to rob me and I am from st.louis mo. And I hit him 2 twice in his leg and the other guy ran he was no threat, if I would of hit him in the back that’s attempted murder or even murder and no longer defense. They held my smith and Wesson for 2 years and I had to show proof of ownership and a lot of paperwork to be signed by the judge and the st.louis police department. I did no jail time due to they saw everything on a near by camera and also the guy was on probation and they even had the gun he had on him. Everyone stay safe my guns are to defend myself and family but in situations like that, watch your surroundings and go to classes and each time you buy a firearm train yourself using the firearm.
God bless
I hear all of this , but I do not agree with having insurance for a constitutional right. I dont need insurance for my 1st . If we are getting arrested for a constitutional right, legal activity, then we have a tyrannical government. This BS needs to stop .
SomeOne that Can Shoot 30-40 ft. Very good at the Target 🎯 Practice.... but I'm not One of that
🇦🇺😎👍Self defence with a gun is prohibited in Australia…The person who does so will loose their gun licence , loose their guns and ammunition and get a criminal conviction. They recommend we lock ourselves in a room , call the police and or just run away and let the criminal have their way…. Say stop 🛑 or I’ll just say stop ✋ again 😉
Get your country back, assert your human rights. Get involved in that horrible political system you have and change it.
Is the grape crime really high there? Vecause it sounds like its just easy access and the victims cant do anything to defend themselves. Thats terrible
I’m going to buy that insurance
Don’t carry period this administration will make this happen
Just cuz u carry a gun it’s not morally wrong to not stop someone if it puts ur life in danger that’s why we have police officers that do that for a job most people carry for self defense not to be a hero
I work security as well.. but if off duty.. I would just throw shirt on with armor, at very least hopefully I won't be seen as the shooter.. might get fired from job wearing shirt, or then again I guess I could put road guard vest on armor. But ... kinda tactical stupid??
What ever, I won’t care about gun owners rights until they make it fair for felons to carry guns also legally
Massad says if ever in a shooting, never give any statement til after 3 nights sleep.
I agree with all the points. But i have to say CCWSafe is a much better gun assurance. Another point is to be able to walk away from any conflict in the streets, if youre a hot head dont even think of carrying out in public
in your opinion what is the best concealed carry insurance. I have had USCCA for a few years now, but im hearing and reading some bad things. In there contract clauses, thanks in advance God Bless
I Am A Keyboard WARRRRIIIIIIOR 💪 (In My I D'clare Bankruptcy Voice) & I Aint Bein No HERO Wit My 🔫... I'm Gonna Piss & 💩 My Pants Or Just Relax In The Back So I Can Make It To Grab My Pizza & Diet Soda 😅... This Sound Like A Brochure For Gun Insurance 😂
Be prepared to have friends, family or spouse walk away … before or after you pick up the gun to defend yourself or the other
Geezus Cripes dude. Unless U-Toob is demanding you make overly long videos to qualff for monetization then cut the excess of word salad. You are spot on. Do NOT carry a gun if you are NOT prepared and willing to end a life to stop the threat. Be a sheep among sheep or be the wolf in peaceful clothing. Bottom Line.
Not confirmed, but some are saying that on May 10th & May 11th is when an invasion is supposed to happen at the southern border. I'm in MO, but if I were near the border, I'd be patrolling it.
Dude ….. there is an invasion going on everyday; what are you even talking about though? Like a real invasion and you want to patrol … are you off your rocker?
@Phil I've been across the border many many times and have worked hand-in-hand with Mexicans from across the border... They're harmless, but this is different.
@@manatalk so you’re talking about a straight on real invasion that should be all over the news
Only if mine and my family's life is in danger.
I am a older man i have being carrying for over 20 years every body knows i carry i have had no problems
Youre also mot obligatrd to dtick around after being the hero. If its on my ranch, youre getting buried someplace. If its in public, let them come see me after. Im not hiding and just as right (or wrong) whether I stay or not. Why ask for trouble with those who were not in your shoes? You make decisions based upon whats reasonable you, not by someone elses, an arm chair QB's ooinion. Its that simple.
Does the USCCA help somebody in a constitutional carry state?
Would You recommend carrying a loaded chamber 00Buck in a 12gauge? Thanks!
Most folks recommend keeping a shotgun ready with an empty chamber, as they're not nearly as drop safe as handguns are. If you're okay with some added risk and you're sure that you'll be careful, then go for it. Empty is better IMO. Further, my state doesn't allow any shotgun or rifle to be chambered in a vehicle. That's likely the case in many other states.
I do not carry to be a hero, I carry to save my live and my loved ones. If others do not wish to carry to save their own life. It is not my problem. I will honor their believes to not have a gun to protect their own life.
Years ago Kmart had an ad in the newspaper. I had I wipe my eyes. They were selling ammo way way below there normal cost. A box of magnum shotgun shells for 1.99. That was 5 rounds. Then they were selling 45 fmj for 2.99 for a box of 50. I took the ad with me and drove to my Kmart store. They did have that stupid sticker by the door with a picture of a gun with a bold red strip thru it. I laughed. Criminals don't read signs. So I walked in, got a buggy and walked to the sporting section. I then grabbed every box of magnum shotgun shells and all the 45 shells also. Then I walked to the register. One one was open. In front of me was a smelly dirty long haired person acting very strange. Now as for me. I stand at 7'3" tall and I'm a retired body guard from a very large company up north. Now I'm living in sunny North Florida. Also I work for a large security company as a Armed security officer. This man in front of me smelled really bad. I coughed once and he turned his head and looked at me. And I said I'm getting over the flu. Then he handed the young girl a note. I could read some of it. It said, I have a gun in my jacket and I want all the money in the drawer. I then coughed again, and he again turned to look at me. I said what, your smell really bad and it's making me cough. His partner was outside, a pretty female talking to the cop. I coughed again and he didn't turn to look at me, that is when I pulled my stainless steel colt gold cup national match 45 out of my galco shoulder holster and pointed it at his neck. I then said to him, I have a 45 pointed at your neck, slowly get down on the ground and cross your ankles. He only turned his head far enough to see the end of the slide then doing what I told him. Once he was down the girl outside took off running to a car. The young girl by the register said thank you and ran to the office in front of all the registers. Then the cop came in and was shocked. Then the manager said to me, thank you very much and said, whatever your buying I will pay for it. The cop put on some gloves and handcuffed the smelly scum, then searched him. Yes he was carrying a real looking paintball gun. But I stopped this scum from robbing my favorite store. The cop was fired because he fell hook line and sinker for his female friend. And yes the caught her walking up the road. Then the manager removed that gun sticker from the window. And I drove home happy.
Yea man it’s deep know CPR and get field trauma first aid kit and certification
I agree that we have freedom because of the 2A.
Look at all other countries around the world without 2A.
I immigrated from a communist country, so I do see it very clearly with the importance of 2A.
What worries me if I ever do need to stop an active shooter is being mistaken for the active shooter and being shot myself
This is really the easiest thing that could happen when there is chaos or people asuming someone with a gun is the actual killer... lets say in a mass shooting. Hard to become the HERO like the guy in the Mall that shot the killer and the police didn't put him in jail. If I look Hispanic or any other ethnic and want to become a hero, maybe I'm the one shot by the police.
Something I always think about
Or mistake another concealed carrier for the shooter, kill him, go to jail for X years, and coming back find my wife married to my best friend 😢
Okay but why have I constantly thought this?
@@liamd.644 it's good to think about these things before it happens. I don't really have a solution though
It's crazy how us responsible gun owners have to jump through hoops in order to protect ourselves..🤦🏾
Better have a lawyer on retainer and be careful on using that gun.
@@crand20033 insanity right🤷🏾
I’m no Massad Ayoob but I am prior law enforcement and a former MP in the Army for what it’s worth.
I look at this “insurance” as an aftermarket 3rd party warranty on a vehicle. When you go to use it you can REST ASSURED they will try to find a million different reasons not to cover you before they try to find one reason to cover you. You can count on it.
My number one cardinal rule in CCW is this.
If you wouldn’t go there without a gun, then don’t go there with one.
Secondly, NEVER, EVER get involved in a 3rd party shooting. EVER!!! I have yet to meet one stranger in my entire 56 years of living that I would be willing to potentially spend the rest of my life in prison for if something were to go horribly wrong. Not my circus, not my monkeys!
When I do decide to carry its for one reason and one reason only; because I am too young to die and too old to take an ass beating, AND THATS IT! If I can run away from gunfire without using mine then I’ve won that gunfight. If you follow this simple strategy and adopt this attitude you will have decreased your liability by 99% and the chances you will ever be involved in a self defense shooting in the first place.
Excellent Dude !!
Good advice. People that CCW to try to be heroes are asking for trouble.
I feel this guy is giving bad advice like going to protect another person and when that person and the police acuse you of murder, you won’t be covered by that shitty ass insurance because in their policy they state that they won’t represent you if charged with criminal charges, he is getting paid to give more money to that insurance BS
I agree with you and almost everything you said and is exactly what they teach you in CC class. Basically in CC class they teach you unless your life or the life of someone in your family is in imminent danger then NEVER draw your weapon. However, one thing I'd disagree with you about is "If you wouldn't go there without a gun, then don't go there with one". A shooting can happen anywhere; grocery store, mall, theater, doctor's office, ANYWHERE. If I could, I'd take my gun with me at all times. Especially if I've got loved ones with me.
The justice system is heavily broken and unfortunately the bad guys get more justice than the good guys these days, which only encourages more crime. And with this broken justice system a good person doing the right thing may still end up in jail or be in financial despair with court fees. The only time I would ever be involved in a 3rd party shooting is if the shooter is shooting at everyone (not just a particular person). I don't care what the freaking law says I'm going to do what I can to take out that killer.
And to the person in the comments saying CCW people are just trying to be heroes I say no, I don't care about being a hero but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night nor live with myself knowing I did nothing when I could have done something.
@@AceGoodheart yeah, if he is shooting at everyone, absolutely, only you or your loved ones, that’s it. And I agree with you to take your gun everywhere. Also we should have the ability to take care of our stuff, house, car, belongings, etc.
meanwhile criminals dont have this problem, they are just released back onto the streets with 11 felony charges robbing amazon robbers at gunpoint
I just saw that video. Shit is crazy man. These prosecutors and judges be so lienant on them but god forbid a responsible gun owner has 1 little thing go wrong and they get max sentence and lose their gun rights and all this. But a criminal doing murder or attempted murder etc its fine same day release. But you oh no 500k bond yourba danger to society.
You better know the gun laws of your state. You are responsible for every round that comes out of your gun.
If it comes out just because you carrying dont mean your a cop or superman or a bad ass
All gun laws are unconstitutional infringements therefore illegal, null and void, not legally binding enforceable laws.
Especially in NJ and other states that just “allowed” you to carry.
@@Vcafr0 you sound 10
Unless your a copper
You know what’s worse than going to jail? Dying because you were unarmed.
Unless you die instantly and painlessly, then it is a good thing.
As a former LEO I’ve been in self defense shootings and one of the first things the department requires is that you see a specialist and that was for every time you were involved so thank you for this video brother
I'm sure someone from the pubkic went out of their way to talk to you. Much less shoot at you. That isn't called self defense. Its called an immoral wanna be thug harassing the public. Obviously, and unfortunately not getting what you all deserve.
Funny how in your mind that's "self defense ". If someone harassed or robbed grandma. And grandma shot at that person. Then the robber shot grandma. That would be self defense right.. smh
@@FreedomInc please re-read your comment and see if it makes sense? I certainly don’t understand what you meant.
@@gungadingo i fixed the three incorrect letters and added the missed period
@@gungadingo Yeah man I still didn't understand it either after he corrected it. Glad I'm not the only one.
The fact that a good person with a gun can be arrested and punished but yet a criminal seems to get the slap on the wrist is just so backwards
Remember, if you introduce a gun into a tense situation, you just willingly upped the chance of a deadly outcome. De-escalation should always be the first option.
This man, even though you may be justified you don’t want the legal and potentially financial trouble to follow unless absolutely necessary. Just gotta walk away and not put yourself in sketchy situations
If you watch the uscca videos they say, if your life is not in danger get out of there and call the police. If you decide to go and do a Dirty Harry then you could be putting yourself into legal problems.
If you are not properly trained and familiar with how to handle a firearm, there is a higher risk of accidentally discharging the gun. And also, if you are not mentally prepared for this level of vigilance, carrying a gun may do more harm than good.
*negligentl* I think that’s an important distinction. Idk maybe it’s just me thought process but I think things like a defective gun would be considered accidental and everything else would just be negligent. But other than that minute detail I agree with ya
@@carloslopez54976 You see people posting videos of them walking around open carrying and having the most basic holster where anyone could yank out the gun. Open carry but understand who ever is holding the guy holds peoples lives, theres a reason why felons cant get guns, yet they still walk amongst you, dont be the reason they can grab a gun.
Spot on GREAT advice re: training & practice, knowing the laws in your state, having self-defense insurance, and I highly recommend reading the book "The Law of Self Defense" by Andrew F. Branca (Author). In the end, it's all about frame of mind and preparedness. All (new) gun owners should play this video over and over and make sure every bit soaks in solid. Thank you for this video.
Don't be a hero bruh...
Preserve your life first and foremost.
This is terrible advice.
I somewhat disagree with your first point. Being trained and carrying does not oblige one to save the lives of strangers. As bad as this sounds I think people need to learn what the consequences of what they vote for are. Let’s say my district attorney is letting criminals go left and right but increasingly prosecuting upon unconstitutional laws. Now let’s say I have an opportunity to save a complete stranger that’s male and of voting age. I have to assume they voted for the DA that would imprison me for saving them. The stranger shifted the burden of his personal safety to me and has actively contributed to my life being taken away by the legal system were I to save him
I do not judge some one who carries a gun but chooses not to get involved in an active shooter. It’s quite the expectation to place on some one.
People have different reason why they carry. Preserving their life and their families may be their only concern and that’s fair to me.
I don't carry anymore because of the road pirates.
If you don't want cops stealing your guns every time they accost you, don't bring one.
Pretty sad when you have to worry more about cops than anyone else.
No, don't refuse to protect yourself. Instead don't tell the officer you are carrying. It isn't their business.
At every traffic stop or police encounter, the police should be considered to be on a need-to-know basis.
There is no reason to turn a routine traffic stop into something completely non-routine.
My new state no longer requires a permit in most areas. At first I was hesitant because of holster compatibility, but then I got burglarized at home while on the toilet. As soon as the suspect fled the property I lost the legal higher ground with insurance. Punk threatened me in the alley way with the same golf club he stole off my property. After reporting to the police, I finally bought insurance and spent the week shopping for a 12 gauge to compliment my Glonk
How’s that glonk handle
@@brodyhenry5664 lol
I want a Glonk. I hear they have better triggers than Glocks.
@@MeCanik79 even if the trigger were junk, you can glonk them over the head with it.
Crocodile Dundee: " I don't need a gun, I've got a donk"
Me personally, not to be cliché, I wouldn't lose any sleep over putting down some deranged scumbag if they start shooting to kill innocent people. Doesn't matter if it's my immediate family or someone I've never even met before: I carry so I can fight to defend my Life as well as those around me.
As for going to jail: I already have to go work every day Lol
Don’t be a hero kids that’s the first thing to learn when carrying do everything you can to get yourself removed from situation at hand it’s self defense not public defense you really don’t want to be in that position
Exactly what my first thought was. Carrying for me is about self preservation, not a general preservation of life. Shit happens and life is harsh, it’s unfortunate, but I need to come first. I don’t have family I’d need to be protecting so all I need to worry about is myself.
@@hahahahaha7237 yea it sounds selfish but we gotta be real about this do not expect a hero’s welcome if you have to ever use your weapon more often than not I see the self defender charged with some sort of crime they will have to deal with in court on their own dime even if the shooting ends up being justified
Yeah it does sound bad in a way but my familys safety is number one so if I could get them away I would but if the shooter was in the way I would hope that I was able to take down the threat
@@shane4257 that’s essentially what I’m saying if the problem isn’t affecting you directly get out of there if you end up in a situation where it’s them or you then it is what it is
I disagree with #1 strongly, right off the bat. I have no moral obligation to protect anyone other than close friends and family, and the lack of a de jure duty to intercede does indeed mean that I can just walk away from those situations. Daniel Penny wouldn’t be facing manslaughter charges right now if he had simply walked away. In-group and out-group ethics (as well as Schmitt’s friend/enemy distinction) are applicable in such scenarios. I am not going to forfeit my own life in order to save a third party to whom I owe no loyalty, particularly if I am going to be indicted for it later. That’s not my responsibility and I don’t consider that heroism. It’s a tactically foolish decision; you are applying your own religious or moral ethics rather than sound strategy.
Im gonna get my ass out of there, preferably with no more holes than when i entered this world. The general public arent worth saving. Besides, they would just sue you anyway.
I have been carrying a gun for 45 years. And it has kept me from being robbed by two guys last year already. You do not always have to pull your gun you only have to let them see it.
Don't do it. Run. Not your responsibility. Trigger happy cops, on or off duty. Law suits, civil and criminal, have to sell your home. Maybe you get shot. All bad. Run!!! Last resort only.
....even if you're technically legal in what you do these events can effect your life in very negative ways, etc.....financially is one of several...
That’s why he said look into insurance. I’ve been carrying an insurance for 6 years. Hopefully I never need it but if I do. I will be covered for most of my expenses. And even covered for money lost for court dates or time in jail.
I will never go in and pursue an active shooter. My gun is to save my own life and get myself out of and away from a situation, not be the hero for people who chose not to carry and most of whom would probably ridicule me for doing so right now when they don't need me.
Situational awareness is huge for concealed/open carriers. You have to know whats going on around you, your loved ones and the establishment your all at 100% of the time and it can be very off putting and you can get lazy/comfortable with close family and that can be deadly!
FYI for all the NY people, apparently we can not even join the USCCA since our state laws sees self defense insurance as an act of aggression or some thing (not sure the exact terms) but can not even get the insurance membership....
One thing that has always bugged me about gun ownership is that training is only recommended. This means that there is no guarantee that a gun owner can use their firearm effectively unless you observe them using it.
My thoughts exactly! Thank you for saying that.
When I first started carrying I would not carry with a round in the chamber for six months. USCCA fine print makes it a scam. Use it for their training material. If you have USCCA for the "insurance" coverage you are better off not carrying a pew baby. Give a real lawyer a $5,000 or $10,000 retainer and create a relationship.
In this environment (and depending on what state you live in), Good Samaritan heroes are more likely than not to be prosecuted. Look what is happening to Daniel Penny. If you get involved, be prepared to spend every nickel you have in legal fees. And you STILL may go to prison, leaving your family broke and alone. If I ever get involved, it will be as a last resort to save MY life or my family.
One hundred percent disagree with number one. Heroes are people who get other people killed. I'm no hero. I'm a survivor. If things go sideways I'm the first person out the door, and failing that I'll do whatever it takes to walk away from the situation. Take my wallet, take my phone, take the keys to my car; I don't care, just don't take my life. That said don't mistake my willing compliance for cowardice. If me or my family is directly in the line of fire, I will not hesitate in the slightest to neutralize that threat.
Leave heroics to the trained professionals. Live to go home to your families.
People will let their Sons and girls become the opposite gender, and they wont say anything for fear of being cancelled. But when it come to Firearms OHHH GOOOOD he has a gun blah blah blah 😂😂
We truly live in a free Society
1.) Dont be billy Tough shit walking around. Knowing you have a gun wont and dont make you a tough guy and wont always save you.
2) Have situational awareness of the things going on around you.
3) Don't put yourself in situations thinking because you have a gun ( I win )
4) keep your mouth shut. Like everything els it's a choice for you to carry. So keep it to yourself.
With great power comes great responsibility.
I think one thing that you should definitely do as a licensed carrier of a firearm is look up your state's statute on defense of property and life. Some state's are of the idea that you must first try to flee before resorting to lethal defensive action; others harbor stand your ground with no requirement to retreat. The other thing you want to check is how your state views defensive of a third party or "Good Samaritan" like coming to the aid of an elderly person being attacked etc. Knowing this and understanding it thoroughly will help you to make the right decision in that crucial moment. Once you have looked up your state statutes contact your state police or a state attorney to get clarification so that you are not misinterpreting your lawful obligations. Every state is different and it is also good to check the statutes in states that have reciprocity agreements with your issuing state. The last thing you want to do is use your firearm thinking you were justified to find that the laws of engagement were different and now you are facing murder or manslaughter charges because your valiant efforts were misaligned by the local laws.
People don’t live by morals anymore. Train and have it on you everywhere, but always look to deescalate and leave first
Amen I agree with everything you said
And I would rather get judged by 12 and not carried by 6
It hasnt worked well for CRS.
I know enough to know I dont know how I would react to a bad situation, I mean, its easy to say you would do something, but when bullets start flying and you see people get hurt, you dont know unless you have been through it. I would go in to help kids, beyond that, idk.
This is a very honest statement you've made.
I couldn't agree more.
I've been in far less taxing situations and lost my cool.......not to a point of physical or even verbal conflict. But rather just to a point of knowing that I wasn't reacting with the good judgement that I know I possess.
I don't think I can imagine what my reactions and actions would be in a situation like a hold up or a public shooting.
I'd like to be a person who can carry a firearm, but I don't know if I can trust myself.
I do own a couple of guns right now, but the are either at the range or at home.
@@markbrowning4334 I am 43 yrs1
@@markbrowning4334 I am 43 years old, way back in the 90s, when the idea of meeting girls online was new and the maps were not as good as they are today, I made a wrong turn in Gary freaking Indiana lol Two guys came out of nowhere in a parking lot where I stopped to ask for directions. I knew when they started asking for money, there was a good chance of trouble. Luckily there was security and q guard will to walk me out. He was armed with a 9mm, and the way that gun turned those would be criminals around and sent them packing was like watching a damn miracle happen in real time. I have no doubt that is a big reason I carry every day, part of being an American is not having to cower in fear, but you can fight if you must. Thank god I have never had to even pull my gun
There are numerous accounts of CCW citizens being killed by cops arriving to a scene. Another thing to consider
I love the channel but I’m sorry, never say to the police after a self defense encounter, “I’ll comply, I just need to speak to an attorney…….”
Your attorney may compel you to NOT making any statements immediately.
Chances of going to prison for killing a " shooter " will most likely get you multiple charges , attorney fees , loss of job, loss of house , loss of family and a bed in prison are very high therefore insurance is absolutely a must . That said working out my salvation with fear and trembling is absolutely most Important cause gotta be ready to meet the Lord Jesus at any moment cause nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. God bless.
This is the main reason I live in Texas. There's Law here stating that at the time of you witnessing a Felony or Disturbing of the Peace, you are empowered to make an arrest, exactly as any LEO. If that entails a deadly threat, then you can use deadly force, just like any LEO. "CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE TITLE 1. CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 14. ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT
Art. 14.01. OFFENSE WITHIN VIEW. (a) A peace officer or any other person, may, without a warrant, arrest an offender when the offense is committed in his presence or within his view, if the offense is one classed as a felony or as an offense against the public peace.
(b) A peace officer may arrest an offender without a warrant for any offense committed in his presence or within his view."
Stay strapped at all times.
Ive always said this and i dont think anyone else has said it but i quote, "while i support the second amendment and believe citizens should be able to freely carry, it is the citizens duty to be able to operate thier weapons proficiently" and sadly most dont..firing a weapon once a year isnt being proficient.
Make sure you check whether or not Conceal Carry, or Self-Defense, insurance is legal in your state. N.Y, where I live, prohibits us from purchasing that kid of coverage.
Such a stupid law. Only wants to hurt law abiding citizens more while goving free reign to criminals
Are you sure about that?
@@Sparks00psn some states do
@@cyclingtexas1670 I didn’t know that. How could they say you can’t have insurance that’s almost unbelievable. But then again they also have a law that says you can’t have a bullet proof vest
I’ll say this. You’re gonna go to jail for a little if your in this situation. You may be let go later on, but you’re gonna still be in there some time before you get out.
Good stuff bud. I appreciate your efforts to educate and inform people. I def agree with the moral aptitude and necessity to help protect those that cannot defend themselves. I have a very productive mentality and fortunately the ability to, my entire life has been filled with violence for others. I have village mentality as well.
And you mention taking life, but also needing the presence of mind you might be giving up your life as well, and those in your life. Difference between a lone wolf and guard dog is the lone wolf is alone leaving nothing behind, guard dogs have lives dependent on them, so may be better to let another willing engager take the lead if he's a lone wolf. I say that bc I am lone wolf, and I'll give my life before letting my buddies with families needing them. It was reason I joined army, to help others return home.
