I’m ex-military and currently in tech. I think everyone should be able to defend themselves, but what’s more important is improving situational awareness when you are outside.
And so should everyone be prohibited from even owning a gun. I don't care about these damn "american freedoms". It works everywhere else, so it can also work in US.
US is only the greatest after accounting for its ego.
yea
sure you do
Agree entirely. Self-defence might be useful as a last resort but situational awareness is key. Some people call it being streetwise but I call it being smart about your observations and choices.
Yes. One should try to acquire as many "layers of defense" as possible.
First layer being the ability to spot trouble before you get into one and just avoid it. Second layer is having a pretty good chance(being fit) of just running away if you do get into trouble despite trying to avoid it. Third layer being able to defend yourself if you get into trouble but can't escape.
Many people skip straight to the third, but self defense is always pretty sketchy. No matter how good you are with a gun/martial arts etc, some random crazy guy doing one unexpected thrust with his knife or being slightly faster than you expected can quickly end your life. Knife battles especially are one of those you should absolutely avoid ever engaging in no matter of your personal skill level. Just too many ways for it to go horribly wrong even if you do everything right.
Legal problems better than Bodily problems, every time. Value your life people. I'm very sad Bob went out that way
@KR40444 Low Quality Bait

It always seems to be the case that physically strong people don't care about knowledge or intelligence, and intelligent people don't care about physical strength. We should all strive to have both instead of leaning on one or the other.
The Society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools. - Thucydides
With how much time and effort it takes to be proficient in one and how little leftover time we get after completing duties it gets harder and harder to do both. Cellings are too high to reach for common man now.
Probably because people tend to play to their strengths. For some people it's really pointless to learn hand to hand combat and physical self defense because they're naturally too weak for it to matter anyway. Same the other way around, some people just don't have the mental acuity to avoid certain mistakes. Plus, in this particular case, it could've been just bad luck. He could've been a navy seal veteran and someone still stabs him fatally in a moment where he has his guard down.
that's just a silly stereotype
@@tripplefives1402 Your mental capability is limited by your IQ potential as your physical capability is limited by your physical potential. If you're a 4 ft 9 woman you won't become Halftor Bjornson even after a million years of workouts and training. And in such a case, the difference between regular person and maximized fitness with super combat training will improve your odds of surviving a random attack by about 1% since any regular dude is gonna be able to manhandle you with one hand anyway. The utility to time invested ratio from all that training is pretty worthless. Time and effort better spent elsewhere.
Even if you're against guns or are from a place where they are not allowed, there are still methods and techniques that you can master that will give you a leverage in this situation or help prevent it altogether. Situational awareness, physical fitness and appearance are all paramount
That's why I walk around everywhere, especially walking my dog at night, dressed like a hobo.
A woman here, honestly, I've never been attacked when I had my combat boots on (gotta love metal 🎸) but I get attacked almost every time I wear a dress and flats / 'normal' shoes. It's frustrating.

People who are accustomed to civilized society sometimes don't recognize that it took very uncivilized people and actions to create it. And on a few rare occasions, a man can be forced into a position in which reason won't help you. RIP Bob Lee.
An armed society is a polite society
"Civilised society" aka some gang decided to call itself the official government and you're not allowed to question it and they'll use force to stop competition
@@SlapStyleAnims lol that's not true. 2A all day tho
"civilized society" is a meaningless buzzword
Tell that to any person in Latin America. Privilege makes you naive.
Besides conceal carrying, just improving your situational awareness will greatly protect yourself against accidents or attacks. Good reminder to try to avoid being in stupid places, at stupid times, with stupid people.

I am a Software Engineer who grew up in a developing country.
The lack of street smarts in the average techie in the west. Leads to many of them having truly bizarre and out of touch opinions on security and self defence.
Worst part is they are so confident when spouting their bad takes.
Eastern Europe?
Same, I grew up in the rural side of a third world country, learned how to hunt, shoot and how to survive from a young age thanks to my parents. I diverted into the tech and computer science area. I still carry a firearm and I stay aware of my surroundings. Safe to say that has kept me out of harms way compared to many of my colleagues. I also try to keep a good fitness routine to train with my kit. Always be prepared. Real life is ugly.
I'm from military family, these anti-firearms creeps are just offending me really.
💯💯💯
Most “techies” are just gay anti white liberals.
I kid you not, every mental outlaw video speaks to me on an incredibly personal level. I work in IT and I am profoundly passionate about everything code and tech related, from AI to Cybersecurity to OSINT, you name it. And at the same I take great care in my physical shape, having practiced karate for a decade and currently practicing boxing for 6 hours a week
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but if we're really heading onto a big tech mass surveillance dystopia it will be an incredibly powerful asset, for everyone willing to be free, not only being highly proficient in everything related to code and terminals but also having the full physical capacity to defend yourself by being physically healthy and knowing self defense
Again, maybe it's just paranoia, but personally I realized just how incredibly well physical health and prowess goes with a deep understanding of computers and a conscious use of them
Are you a Pc user or a Mac user?

Because of Mental outlaw i want to run OpenBSD. i'll have to try Arch linux and Gentoo and OpenBSD one day. Right now i just use kodachi linux. and I like Computer towers more then laptops. Reading your comment made me happy though. i even have antivirus on linux.
This is just my 2 cents but I personally think that 99% of Mental Outlaw's videos are only applicable to you if you are doing something very shady. Spending hours a week on OPSEC or physical self-defense just for the sake of defending yourself is kinda paranoid. You said yourself that everything you do are just prevention-measures for the potential "big tech mass surveillance dystopia". If you live an every-day normal life like the rest of us, you are just a number in the masses, you aren't important enough to have to do any of these measures. This is not to take away the fact that you can also do all this just out of sheer hobby, which is respectable.
That's the best thing to do, good OPSEC & self-defense is even better.
12:07 I live in Germany and here your problem would be more like "Yes, they attacked you with a knife and you shot them in the head, no problem. BUT you werent in your home so it was illegal for you to carry your gun" (And if you dont have a license then you wont get a gun at all)
Was ist hier die Wahrscheinlichkeit angegriffen zu werden? Nahezu null, bis natürlich auf die „Brandzonen“. Schau dir doch nur an wie die amerikanische Gesellschaft von Waffen gespalten und zerstört ist, das lohnt sich nicht.
I always carry a p365 sig sauer. My uncle got stabbed to death and we were very anti gun 10 years back. After that I was very pro self defense/gun. The police came talked about football, one farted they all laughed, and at the end of the day never got the guy. Protect yourself you are responsible for your own life.

being a tech bro in this day and age, you need to proficient in cooking and nutrition, physically fit, good at hand to hand combat, operate firearms, cyberly secure, privacy minded, legally insured. and of course, technically sound at your job. you are the exact type of person I look up to become.
Hmmm i check like half those boxes… looks like i got a long way to go
Me too
This is more than just tech bros. These skills are all part of learning how to be human.
I check a good number of those boxes.. Still working on cooking and nutrition tho 😅
Being good at hand to hand combat wouldn't have done Bob any good as he was stabbed to death lol.
Wow Kenny. Been watching ur videos since sub 10k subs. Killing it man. Happy for you.
Hard times make, tough people, makes good times, makes weak people, etc.
Huge respect to you man. I wish more people in IT had mindset like yours. As an occasional IPSC and IDPA shooter I can tell that getting a basic level of handgun shooting is not very difficult, it will take just a dozen of training sessions with a decent instructor, it's also a lot of fun, and who knows, maybe one day this skill can save your life. No matter where you live, it's better to have it than not to have.
What's important is that if you are not trained to make a good shot in normal conditions, and act in a stressful situations, then even if you own a gun you will probably have a big trouble to use it properly. Among all gun types, pistols require the most amount of skill from their users, especially small and light pistols, which are mostly used from concealed everyday carry. If you are not got used to them, then they will kick hard, they will be extremely unusually loud, they tend to make misses from small mistakes in your micro-movements. When I first showed my wife how to shoot a handgun she wasn't able to hit a standart chest silhouette target from 6 meters, it's really not that easy as it seems from movies or videogames. You have to absolutely automate gun safety in your head to the level of muscle memory, you have to learn and periodically train your grip, drawing and aiming to be able to use your skill in a stressfull situation. But fortunatly, shooting it's not a rocket science either, just a skill you need to keep up.
I live in a country where guns laws here are really anti-people, 98% of civilians (according to official statistics) are disarmed and violent crime levels are quite high (partially because of it). Owning a handgun here is completely illegal, you can only have a longbarrel gun for hunting, handguns can be used and stored only in shooting clubs. If you use a gun on a bad guy, especially a pistol, you will definately move behind the bars for many years, BUT! Does it mean that you should listen to the bullshit government and corrupted politicians try to tell us and convince us it's true? THEY created the world that is convenient for THEM. They are safe in this world, they live in the safe areas, they will never face consequences of their political actions and decisions. But we, the people, don't belong to that world, we have to think for ourselves. What would be your excuse if you will not be able to protect yourself? What if you will not be able to protect your woman and your children?
Our society is so rotten these days, folks. Stay safe
Understandable mindset. May I ask, from what country are you?
@@mycommentmyopinion I’m from Russia. Unfortunately the gun culture, safe, responsible and respectful handling firearms, is in a sad state here. The government put quite a big effort to restrict everything related to guns, and disarm as many civilians as possible, especially in the last 12 years. Guns are mostly spread among people related to army and police, and among shady criminals of course. Very few people outside of these categories ever hold a firearm in their hands during their life. There are unfortunately very limited amount of shooting clubs and very few people are interested in this by their own. Also it’s not even easily available to simply go to shooting club and try to shoot, you have to go through some amount of beurocracy to get a permission to do it. That’s why some part of top IPSC shooters from Russia are also related to police and military - usually it’s children of current or retired high ranking military officers, who gave them an opportunity to shoot and train a lot from a very young age without having to keep in mind such inconveniences like laws, acess to shooting ranges (most of them are not available for civilians) or ammo price (it’s quite expensive).
I know it’s a hot topic of whether should guns be restricted or not, and what exactly should those restrictions be. I think there should be some “golden middle” between a strict control, medical and background for gun owners and freedom to own a gun and being able to protect yourself in the situation of life and death. When I see the news from US, I think that perhaps gun market there should be more regulated in some ways, but I pay a huge respect that people in the US almost religiously defend that famous constitution’s second amendment. That is a right deed.
Some post soviet countries have even worse situation with gun control, but there are excellent examples of finding that golden middle btw. In Baltic countries like Estonia and Latvia guns are completely legal for self-defence if you haven’t committed any violent crimes and don’t have psychological diseases. And btw those countries are the only ones where there wasn’t much bloodshed, civil wars, or criminal problems in the 1990-s after the soviet union collapsed. They are most developed and prosperous among former soviet republics, they managed to get rid of old communist politicians and integrate into Europe, their crime rates are extremely low. Of course, that is not just because guns and self-defense are legal there, but that is one step to a more civilized society
I'm not from Russia, but it's pretty similar here. It's much easier to obtain a pistol illegally as the legal route requires convincing the Head Commissioner that you need to own. Even then you can only open carry outside your own property if you work in the Police force or an armed security agency. Yet the murder rate was #11 in the world for most of the 2000's and 2010's. No I won't say where it is.
It could easily be Brazil that you are taking about
@@iurifarenzena That’s why both countries are in the BRICS union. Perhaps it could mean that the governments share similar values :)
To be honest, I do not know what is the actual level of crimes in Brazil. From what I’ve seen and read in the internet it’s crazy high. Perhaps it’s just the big cities like San Paolo and Rio. If my suggestions are right, crime level in Russia is much much lower. I mean, our problem is not that you can get robbed or killed by the gangsters on the street in a bad neighborhood, that’s thankfully a rare thing. However, the society is very atomised, people tend to live in a shitty conditions, poverty and hate each other. Russia is more about a dictatorship than about a chaos. It’s not rare that someone can kill another person while drunk, or because he didn’t like someone. Pointless agression is everywhere and neither police nor the society judge such behavior. The main law that works is the right of the strong, if you can inspire fear in people in your neighborhood, you’ll have a great life experience, if not - you’ll be in trouble. The police just won’t do anything in 99% of cases if someone gets scammed, robbed, killed etc, there too busy pushing political opposition and getting a big salary for that. It is not rare that police staff is picked from the lowest social bottom with all the consequences that come from it. But if someone dares to protect himself from a criminal then he will get a lot of trouble, for police it becomes the religious crusade to put a man in jail, because if people will think that it is normal to stand for themselves, to take the responsibility for their own lives, to unite and achieve justice, that will mean a huge threat to entire regime that is rotten from the bottom to the top, and that would mean that a lot of current police officers will probably move to jail themselves, or get exiled to the lowest parts of society where they belong
ALWAYS READ THE TERMS OF YOUR INSURANCE!!! It is very common for the concealed carry insurance to have a term of "you will be covered ONLY if you win." That means you pay if you lose or go the plea deal route, (which is 90% of how criminal cases end.), you will owe the lawyer his hourly on top of the L or court payment/jail time.
My advice is to shop around lawyers and pick their brain. Ask them about their records in criminal defense and and ask other lawyers about them.
Once you get one that seems to fit your needs, give them a fucking massive retainer. It's better to give 20k up front to a good lawyer than 10 years in prison.
Stay secure and safe!

@@kiq4767 the golden truth. But if you are to slow, or can't fit into a crowd, get a backup plan.
@@FickDaggitson Agreed
You're saying people should find a criminal defense lawyer and give them 20k to hold forever just in case you ever need them? Ummmm, is this advice meant for professional traffickers?
@@caustinolino3687 No. To much knowledge, a retainer can be any amount, but the best relationships are built with bigger ones. As always, size matters.

You are your own first responder. You gotta be aware of your surroundings and you need to know what you're doing, though. If you don't have a piece, get one, get the training to use it, and hope you never have to pull it.
Better safe than sorry.
And for people who don’t have the temperament and commitment to safely and proficiently carry a firearm (so realistically, half of the population), pepper spray is better than nothing. It takes little or no training, is non-lethal, and is effective in most of the same situations.
@@samgould8567 Exactly. _Something_ you can use to defend yourself is better than having no protection at all.
Having something to protect you is far different from actually using it to protect. Alot of people freeze, train on stress situations or else it will likely still end in failure or injury.
Awesome video dude. As a martial arts and practical shooting enthusiast; everything you said was on point.
Normal people can’t safely go outside anymore because it would be mean to put the people who would randomly kill in jail.

One thing these anti-gun nerds are missing is that many of these criminals scope out their victims and they usually know how to spot if someone is carrying and will stay away from you if they see the imprint of a handgun under your shirt.
most people who are against guns aren’t from the us, so they probably haven’t experienced the type of crime which occurs there

This is awesome, I love this content. Good to see someone has a proper head on their shoulders.
Here's a couple tips; if you live alone tuck a piece of paper into your doorway, if someone opens it then you will not see it, if you find a hidden camera, obstruct it with a sticker or marker instead of removing so the perp comes to try and fix it, keep in mind where you can run, read signs, understand layouts, walk around buildings and streets a bit to understand it all more.
Stay strapped or get capped. Seriously though, the need to protect yourself is always there. If you can have something that can at the very least give you more of a fighting chance against someone wanting to impose their will upon you. Why not have the advantage? Such a sad story 😔 Carry and train. Because you can.
"Impose", but otherwise yes. Wish Europe didn't insist in having literally everything be a soft target to criminals.
Let us also recognise that nobody can run away forever, everyone should expect to be in a fight or die situation in their life, we can't over-estimate our luck. There will always be a criminal who can run faster and be bigger than us.

always remember, just owning a firearm and carrying isn't good enough on its own, you need to train and be comfortable with what you have as well. shoot your carry weapon as often as possible, if you're only used to shooting your plinking gun you make yourself that much more incompetent in a serious situation

Great vid as always thanks
no step on snek
I appreciate the good trigger discipline, G. Subscribed.
Dude, I always thought you are based as hell, but after this video I think you've reached another level
Our host is based but also biased, since he thinks a gun will protect you when in fact Bayes theorem will probably mean you won't get robbed like poor Bob did. I once calculated, based on statistics, that if you live in the worst neighborhood (I believe it was Chicago) but act normal (no gold chains around your neck, acting drunk, which is an invitation to get robbed) that you'll end up with a violent encounter about once every 5 to 15 years (I forget the math I did but I recall this range). You can do the math yourself by looking at crime rates and using a CUMULATIVE BINOMIAL PROBABILITY calculator (Google this). So for most Tech Bros who don't plan on being in Silicon Valley for the rest of their lives, probably you'll do OK if you just take normal precautions without a gun. What happened to Bob is probably bad luck, though of course if Bob had a firearm he'd be alive today, but that's looking at Bayes theorem kind of backwards (i.e., any death can be prevented, if you know, a priori, what is going to kill you, for example exercise to avoid heart disease if you know you will die of heart disease). Peace!
Yeah he called the average programmer weak as heck and advocates for guns. On top of that, he stayed humble when people complimented him on his physique. You can't be more based than that.
I always thought Based meant "based in reality,"

Your life can be ended in an instant. It's like people think they're never going to get robbed, or a knife pulled on them. Stay safe guys.
It'd be cool to have a 2A tech group - maybe even one that lobbies on behalf of the 2A in anti-2A states. I just completed an AR-10 build yesterday. Got a new Ruger .357mag recently too. I have more guns than I can count right now, including 3 AR-15's complete and another complete lower for another build, a built AK-47 w/ 60's polish hardware, a couple Polymer 80's. I need an over-under 20ga for old school skeet fun. The 12ga pump I have kicks too much to skeet for a long time.
I'm glad I live in the great state of ID now - I ran from CA after living there for my first 35 years of life. I can conceal carry in my car and person without any permits.
Rock on brother.
Great video as always bro.
When seconds count, why wait minutes on the police?
Sometimes you're responsible for your own safety and security
Unfortunately I live in the worst country in Europe, the UK so self defense is seen as terrible despite all of the stabbings.
Have you ever heard of P.A. Luty?
@@FuckTheState Haven't, looks very interesting though, I'll read about him
Guy I met online in the UK almost got stabbed by someone. Guy I met said he kicked him and the police arrested him for doing so, not sure if he went to prison or not he went to jail and had to wait around for months at home for a court case...

Just subscribed. Great channel. You help lots of people. Thanks a lot.
I've always been aware of how small I am compared to the average guy. Being nerdy with a physically smaller body than most other males I came across made me hyperaware in certain places while walking and I always carried a knife while walking to school (I'd stash it under a rock in the woods nearby before going in, I wasn't a psycho). The day after I turned 21, I bought a pistol. Big or small, we all bleed and that's been true forever. There's a reason small people still exist lol.
Smooool boooooi!
A true small king
Carrying weapons around will just lead to a stabbing contest by making the aggressor even more unhinged. A gun is safer but carrying that is basically impossible everywhere.
small king! if you want you can change that anyday, starting with regular fitness training. of course height is something unchangable but you would still develop muscle and if you then pick up mma or any other form of self defence, you would be good to go :)
Nice. I also recommend starting with the gym. Not because of personal safety or anything like that, but being smaller does have an impact regardless. I've found lifting and the process to be very gratifying. It has given me a better connection to my body, more physical confidence, and overall a healthier state of mind and being. This sounds very cliché. But being someone who's very nerdy, I think the benefits are even greater. Plus, it's a fun way to break stereotypes.

Just watch the mythbusters episode on it. I believe that if they're within 21 feet, you're dead. Can't draw your weapon and fire fast enough.
@@unlisted9494 3:40
@@unlisted9494 well, you're not "dead". People have survived being stabbed 100 times and it's unlikely that a few stabs would instantly incapacitate you to the point where you're completely defenseless. You can still get a draw and a gun is just as (if not more) deadly up close as it is at a distance.
There's lots of police videos right here on RUclips (see Police Activity) of a man with a knife jumping at an officer within the 21 feet you cited... Go watch the videos for yourself and see who won the fight.
Having a gun is better than not having one.
@@unlisted9494 Or don't take advice from celebrity bullshit
Within 7M you are probably getting stabbed. Remember you need to identify and react to wants going on then the draw time, the video shows the draw time. I can close that 7M gap in well under a second from a standstill.
I'm getting the vibe that you care for your subs. Thanks for the hard work on every video. As we know the economy is collapsing and in turn crime rate is going to explode. Guns are essential to protect yourself and the ones you love.
Situational awareness, dress in a way that doesn't make you stick out, and don't ever flaunt your wealth. These are things you can make use of even when you're somewhere where you can't carry a firearm.
Great video man. You've got a really good approach to breaking down tech bros blindspots and not being harsh about it. This is exactly the message they need to hear without being called soyboys, etc. You take extra precautions to safeguard your PC and personal finances, why wouldn't you do the same for your life? Message on point.
Nice pfp
When you're trying to convince people to get on your side, insulting them is generally a bad idea.
@@tanostrelok2323 True but I see it happen all the time. We also need to explain that "hunting" has absolutely nothing to do with the second ammendment. It's there to protect ourselves from bloodthirsty government and before they can laugh smugly point to the fact that they have a body count in the hundreds of millions just in the 19th century alone. Our government is no different than any others who turned on their own citizens.
@KR 0% are you a ghost?
@KR that's some naive thinking. That's also trusting your government not to point their guns at you. Low probability, but non-zero.
God, what a refreshing take to hear. Seems like everyone is way too comfortable giving up all their power recently. Incredible video man
If ony we had confirmed firearm registration records for all security personnel so we can see which idiot keeps leaving the backdoors open.
If only the country with the most firearms was actually safer than the country with less firearms.
But no, the us leads crime statistics in the free world.
People aren't eager to give up power, they're eager to give up responsibility. Stop misrepresenting the issue.
@@Gig-th3er They run a cost/benefit analysis and conclude that they don't want the responsibility more than they want the power. Framing it exclusively in terms of the downsides is disingenuous and makes people out to look like sheep that can't self-direct rather than thinking agents that are tired of the game we're all playing.
a lot of avoiding things like that is doing things like you mentioned, only having one earphone in so you can hear your surroundings, no looking down at your feet when walking so you can see your surroundings, and getting good cardio (which i dont have) because if you defend yourself in ireland youre almost definitely going to jail
Thank you Diversity, Inclusivity, Equity for lowering the trust of our societies, deliberately encouraging mental illnesses, while at the same time disarming us.
Fuck you. Diversity has nothing to do with this. White men do most mass shootings, rapes, domestic violence. Diversity is why people have basic rights. And there’s a reason why people in Norway, Canada, liberal pro immigrant countries usually have people who feel way safer than you pro gun people in usa.
Not a man, but I've been interested in tech since the 80's. My grandfather got me into firearms and I've come to the conclusion that nobody will ever take more responsibility for my safety than I will. . . .I'm not an advocate of violence, but we see every day that the noose is tightening due to myriad factors. I'm not super familiar with Bob, but it's a loss for his child more than anything. I hope they're able to get good support, no child should have to go through that.
It's deeply unfortunate that the wrong people are being killed when there are so many more deserving of it in the tech sphere.

Nice video. Agree on all points. But you seems to be missing one important point. Not living in a city with a hordes of of drug addicted homeless people is a good idea. Not getting yourself close to a dangerous situation is not less important than being able to deal with one. Like for example my small town isn't best place in the world, and has it's problems but it has very little homeless people and i rarely see someone high out in the open l (they tend to stay inside most of the time and it's usually alcoholics not junkies).
Good to note that as cities get worse they too will head out your way
Rural areas in red states have some of the highest murder rates in the coutnry. Blue states have some of the lowest murder rates. When everyone has a gun then your advantage goes away.
@@internallyinteral It' a possibilty yes. But it wouldn't be as bad as in places where crooked motionless junkies in the daylight are a baseline state of public order.
I will say tho its bigger than homeless people. Not every homeless person is out here with an urge to hurt. Alot of people in my city that get hurt is due to a kid from a local highschool or your average joe that has a hidden agenda.
@@MasonAlston22True, but this isn't about any homeless people. It is about large groups of drug addicted homeless people. Drug addicted people tend to have far more hidden agenda than your average joe or highschool kid.
Sometimes the best way of protecting yourself is just having a lots of contacts

But I never had anything happening to me because I know the people from my neighborhood, even the 'bad' ones

If you're aware of narcissistic and sociopathic personality types, then you can know who your potential enemies might be. If you aren't a d*ckhead to people and you don't give people a reason to hurt you, then everyone else you know won't come for you.
All that leaves are strangers that want to rob you, or hurt you for ideological reasons, which this video, and the entirety of gunYT, are about.
A concealed carry 9mm pistol is perfect for most people. You can get them in pretty compact sizes like my S&W M&P Shield. Yes it’s only a single stack with 8 rounds per magazine but that should be more than enough for personal protection in close quarters.
It's a lost cause to try and talk people into getting firearms, often they only think of it when something happens to them or someone close to them. Up until that point they think they can fight off 3 people at once with a baton.
You mean with a phone. 😂
Meh, let them then. They don't want to own a firearm, less competition for work for me in the long run.
Can your gun stop bullets?
@@luxraider5384 Ah, but can you get laid? What kind of a question is that? What a stupid implication, "carrying is irrelevant because someone could just shoot you anyway." Okay, and? This dude literally got stabbed. Short range attack, like many others. Gun could have been helpful there.
Someone already drew one on you? Not so helpful. Give them what they want. Any other situation? Probably helpful! And if they shoot you anyway? Helpful to have a gun, because maybe if you're lucky you'll wound them, and that will help them to be caught, which will give your family closure.
@@luxraider5384 lmao what
Good advice, I will add to go look up the lawyer who goes by the channel name of Law Of Self Defense. He specializes in educating people how to legally defend themselves so that they do not make critical mistakes (very easy to do..) when they are forced to defend themselves. RIP Bob.
When is the last time someone tried to attack you from over 21 feet away? Makes no sense. Any altercations will start and take place within less than 21 feet.
yeah kinda true i guess

It is nice to know there are others that are into computers/open source and such, but pro 2A as well. I like that sig by the way.
Sweet mother of based. This has always been my mindset. If I'm going to walk around with a 3500$ computer in my bag, why not spend an equal or greater amount on life protecting equipment like a firearm and first aid kit? I first learned about opsec and sec concepts in the military, so when I moved tech a lot of the enthusiasm for firearms and personal protection and safety made the jump with me.
To quote the second Verse of Constitutions 76: "And he went from the place where around the fucks were, and given in plenty where the findings. If any man woulds't stay strapped, and their loins girdled and gliz adorn-ed, he too shall hear clapping and the singing of mine angels later than sooner."

What we needed to hear tbh
I agree: “stay strapped or get clapped”
However, even better than carrying a gun into that situation, was never being in that situation in the first place. As the saying goes “nothing good happens after midnight”. Obviously we don’t know the details of how/why, but what was so important to be on the streets at 2:30am?

Good video m8. To a certain extent criminals are getting more advanced yes, but I think it has a lot more to do with criminals having a lot more opportunity. In places like SF they are consistently lowering the penalties for committing crimes. The lack of serious legal consequence opens the door for a lot of criminals to try things they previously may have stayed away from.
The places that are reducing and/or eliminating legal implications for criminals also tend to have increasingly strict laws on legally obtaining/owning a firearm (not to mention legally carrying one). So the two major consequences for committing crimes (legal or physical harm) are both getting lower all the time.
We're definitely seeing some absolutely ridiculous things from some places in the US. Like people shoplifting in broad daylight and random bystanders actually helping them and cheering for them both in person and on social media.
Heck ya man! I'm surprised as well that a lot of security-minded people don't also consider physical security. Seems like a no-brainer. I actually just got my first CCW License last year, along with my first gun, and I carry daily now :). I also just got my AR-15! Hype! :D
Congrats man, train often.
It's fun, but it could also save your life one day.
If you know how to fight (boxing and wrestling] you don't need a gun. In fact having a gun will put you in prison faster than cracking some guys head against the asphalt.

Something that gets always overlooked is a dog. Having a dog around you or better yet multiple guard dogs is invaluable. A good trained dog is deadly and highly observant. Pair that with a strong body, martial arts, weapons, and make everyone know you aren’t a target worth attacking, and also don’t tempt anyone to attack you is a sure way you probably won’t ever encounter a threat in a bad neighbourhood let alone a civilised one. Most of these things mentioned aren’t even costly if you can afford it get a body guard

@@doooofus lol
Dogs AND weapons AND martial arts? The martial arts are overkill (unless you take into account that the other two aren't always there with you). But I agree that dogs are a very effective deterrent. If you are a dog person and concerned about physical security, that is a great strategy.

Thanks for making this video, man. Really tragic what happened to Bob.
i was interested in both tech and guns from a very young age. when i got my first real job (I'd had several temp jobs in the past), i really wanted to build my own own computer, but i cared much more about protecting the people i lived with at the time than finally being able to play games made in the last 5 years. never made sense to me for people to be super into cybersecurity or just privacy and things like that, but turn around and say no one needs guns.
I wasnt always a gun person but I saw things changing and decided to get educated on the topic as well as properly trained, all before I purchased anything because a tool is only as good as you know how to use it.
Thanks for making a video on this. I hope more people in the tech field can wake up because of this incident. RIP Bob.

The insurance or lawyer shopping is a good thing to promote as well as being strapped. When I was taking a class to get my CC license, my instructor told us a story of an attempted car jacking at a gas station, driver had a quicker draw and shot and killed the would be robber. Despite security recording, gas station clerk, etc. proving the robber was reaching for his gun and the driver shot out of self defense, the robber’s family’s lawyer decided to have constant lawsuits thrown at the driver hoping to bleed him out of money to win the lawsuits. Driver’s employer thankfully didn’t fire them for missing work due to lawsuits but those legal fees were pretty brutal that if he was fired from his work he’d be bankrupt and drained of money. Study your state’s gun laws and be ready for lawsuits even if your self defense actions were justified.
