Greenwood Park Mall Shooting Destroys Gun Control Narrative Exercising Constitutional Carry

- Constitutional Carry
bit.ly/2CHLudt
This one story just destroyed the entire Gun Control Narrative.
Constitutional carry or Permit-less carry became legal in Indiana on July 1st, this shooting took place on July 17th, and Eli didn't have a concealed carry permit; he was carrying based on the constitutional carry law that Indiana passed 17 days ago.
If not for Indiana making it easier for good people to carry firearms for protection, Eli likely wouldn't have been carrying that day, and many people would have died.
This law allowed a citizen to keep other citizens safe because law enforcement couldn't get there in time to stop the attack.
Greenwood park mall, where this shooting happened, is a gun-free zone, and it didn't stop the shooter from bringing his gun in to kill a bunch of people.
If Eli had obeyed the no-gun policy at the Mall, the shooter would have killed way more people.
And no, Eli did not break the law by ignoring the no-gun policy.
In Indiana, it's not against the law to ignore a "no firearms" sign at a private business; you may commit criminal trespass for entering a business after you have been denied entry or have been asked to leave.
The House is trying to pass a bill that would limit law-abiding citizens to only having ten bullets in their gun.
It took Eli Ten shots to stop the shooters.
Imagine if Eli was limited to 10 rounds, and he needed one more shot to stop the shooter.
This would be a very different story.
There is no evidence that 10 rounds make us safer; it's literally an arbitrary number.
New York, at one point, tried to pass a law that limited people to 7 rounds in their gun.
Magazine limitation laws hurt the good people while empowering the bad. Criminals don't care about magazine limitation laws.
If mass shooters want a gunfight, they know exactly where to go.
Instead, they go to places where people are most defenseless.
You don't stop mass shooters with laws; you stop them by removing their motivation.
It's hard to kill a lot of people when those people are shooting back at you.
Cops with guns can't be everywhere, but you can have a gun everywhere you are when you exercise your Right to Keep and Bear arms, just like the Second Amendment intended.

One man with no body armor, no law enforcement training, no backup and no "assault" weapons... did what all those cops in the hallway wouldnt. BALLS. Kid has solid tungsten carbide, ten ton balls. Give THAT kid a fucking badge.
He is part of the special pants club.
Bet the guy drives a semi... he needs an 18 wheeler to carry them BALLS of his...
Don't give him a badge. We don't need him to become corrupted.
Give him a wheelbarrow to carry those massive balls he's got. Also, put him on a speaking tour.
Eh maybe on "no training" a 40 yard shot effective shot under the stress of that situation is no easy feat...... He definitely has a bit of time behind a gun.
That man is a damn hero and everyone should know HIS name and not the shooter's.
💯💯💯
He deserves a metal and job offer from local P.D. I live in Indiana on July 1 everyone i interacted with got a smile and happy constitutional carry day. This young man is what we need to salvage our country.
While it is fortunate that this person stopped a mass shooting from becoming worse. Calling him a hero is too much of a stretch.
Having a gun on you doesn't turn you into Rambo, Chris Kyle, or the terminator it doesn't make you a hero.
@@nil981 he probably saved many more lives from being lost, so yes, I'd argue he is a hero.
A tshirt with the names of people who stopped these pieces of poo.
"He was carrying legally under the constitutional carry law"
No. He was carrying legally under the constitution. "Constitutional carry" would not have to exist if politicians weren't violating the constitution.
I admire the sentiment but that just means the same thing.
@@brettholland7975 not really because if you carry per your constitutional right in a state that says you cannot carry without a permit, which is bullsh!t, you are breaking the law in that state's eyes, which is also bullsh!t. Constitutional right is a constitutional right but many people can't excercise without "constitutional carry" law.

Imagine stopping a mass shooter with your legally acquired and carried firearm, saving lives, and yet still being called the bad guy
so true imagine wait it real people said they wanted the shooter to have a fair trial but he is the bad guy for saving people
The best part is the people who are calling him the bad guy also think its ok to kill at baby a moments before its born.
@@commonsense7057 yup
@@commonsense7057 A moment after, even.

Imagine being so delusional that you make the claim that a young man putting his life on the line to save not only himself but countless others is considered a bad thing…
And hating the man because he broke a stupid mall policy. Not an actual state law. They are beyond pathetic.
We shouldn't live in a world where a young man has to shoot someone, regardless of the reason.
@@Spawny500 Well that's reality. It has been since the dawn of time. Violence and wrath.
Exactly. I couldn't find much logic in those tweets neither.
It is. That man took a man’s life with no authority to do so, he doesn’t even know if that other man was bad or even the shooter.
8 shots out of 10 at 40 yards is skill not luck. This young man had training and because of that training was able to save lives. Get strapped, get trained.
True. I used to teach basic pistol marksmanship in the Army at one of my units. Majority of those I trained would have had problems at this range. The amount of work that goes into building this level of skill takes A LOT of work. Major props to this young warrior for getting the proper training and practicing the skills.
@@danielhaire6677 Perhaps we all have a new standard to reach for lol. I recently did the challenge and managed 7 of my 10 shots though I do not have a red dot on my handgun sadly. I hope people are reaching out to you for firearms training now.
@@brandonandreski1709 remember he's under stress n at a shooting yiur amped up this is nothing but amazing
Like I said on another video about this subject somewhere else he didnt have any real training, all he ever did was plink around with grandpappy.
He was 40 yards away and sprinted 10 yards telling people to get behind him then he braced himself(pistol on something) then let all hell loose.
I may be wrong on this but as far as I know he had zero formal training these gun control freaks think we should have which is actually more involved than what police actually get.
Theres my copypasta
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez i was not saying that training should be required by law first off. Also plinking with grandpa at a young age could very well be training. I was not so fortunate so I had to start later in life. Anyone who owns a gun should get training. There is nothing wrong with being more prepared to defend yourself. In fact if you ask just about anyone that has ever been in a firefight they will tell you that you can never be good enough. I have done 100 yards with my 9mm all the way to 3 yards even 30 yards while hyped up on adrenaline is a tough shot for the average gun owner.
It frustrates me that the gun is always blamed despite the fact it’s actually the crazed gun owner.
Exactly. It's not a gun problem. It's a crazy people problem.
I'm from Indiana and I couldn't tell you how proud of that young man I am. He showed the entire world what's up....
Don't turn him into another Kyle Rittenhouse

For sure.
Wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly got detained for further "questioning" and went missing without a trace.
This guy is a Hero. This man was well trained and cool under fire. One armed citizen acted immediately and without hesitation. It took 376 law enforcement personnel an hour and 15 minutes to confront the school shooter in Texas. The brave mother who saved her children and many others and this man deserve National Recognition.

"if guns made America safer, America would be the safest country in the world"
In WW2 Japan literally didn't invade Hawaii because they thought there would be a gun behind every blade of grass, ask the Chinese what happened to their unarmed populace after Japan invaded them
The fact that that happened and that a good guy with a gun stopped a mass shooter means it's clearly no myth and that the second amendment works as intended to protect us from threats both domestic and abroad.
For anyone not familiar- you literally cannot describe what happened to the Chinese citizens without getting your comment removed. It is _that_ bad.
How does it go when someone walks into an elementary school?
@@davyhoogy ask the off duty Border patrol agent who shot the last guy who did it with his barber's shotgun
I agree with you but I'd like to clarify there's other reasons why Japan never invaded us in ww2, including their technology and equipment, along with a thinly spread military, pearl harbor in Hawaii, And America's already impressive industrial capabilities. By the time they bombed pearl harbor and got us fully involved in ww2 the war situation from the Japanese perspective simply wouldn't allow it. Their best bet would be to land in Alaska which probably wouldn't have worked well for them either. Forget about trying to take the mainland. And as I said Hawaii had a naval base that needed to be dealt with first, and the Japanese barely managed to accomplish their goals there. The pacific fleet wasn't destroyed in the attack so they basically blew their only shot to fight an offensive war with the U.S
But all that on top of the fact that there would be an armed population to contend with ensured that any invasion would be a waste of men, resources, and time.
@@davyhoogy How's it gonna work out for you, when you call the police for help and you have no gun?
Few people will understand just how incredible this was. The Hero was using a handgun, fired 10 rounds and was able to connect with the shooter 8 times, from a distance of 40 yards. He made those shots under stress, on an armed and mobile target and in an environment with perhaps hundreds of innocent people down range. He accomplished this Alll without any prior military or law enforcement training and did it all in less than 15 seconds.
I've been in Law Enforcement, Military and Private Security for the last 29 years. I'm not confident I could do any better than this young man under those circumstances.
Truly outstanding.
would like to know what type pistol this guy used. young man saved a lot of lives.
@@ou81271000 I’ll bet it was a Sig P365. 10 round mag. Maybe he didn’t top off.
@@ou81271000 9mm pistol was the only information released.
@@matt5415 Some people prefer only 9 rounds. Personally I don't like my AR Mags to be so tightly packed. I use 28 rds instead of 30 rds. It's also possible the pistol wasn't chambered at the time of the incident. May have racked one in when everything kicked off.
@@Jacen777 So he had a 9mm, did he blow the bad guy's lungs out of his body or take his head kleeen off like our "Prez" said a 9mm could? I don't think I've ever had such disrespect for a sitting President. This guy the proverbial shit at the bottom of the barrel.
“ Mass shooters don’t like shooting at people that are shooting back”. Absolutely brilliant Mr. Noir. That should be on a T shirt!
And this is why mass shooters go to places where people are not able to fight back.
Sad that mas shooters are a thing /:
Exactly it should be on t-shirt
Mass shooters don't shoot people with guns
you people really don't understand do you ?
:Look at the THOUSANDS of videos on youtube of young people enjoying slaying each other in video games... they grow up to become the trouble you think you can prevent... The only solution is to ban computer games for the under 21 crowd.
no more xbox, playstation, pc games for kids that contain any violence or any weapons.
Kids should be playing outside, and doing their homework, and reading the Bible.
But no shock that Bill Gate's Microsoft Xbox sells these types of games that kids should not play...
A fox will always choose easy pickings of a henhouse…until the farmer comes out with a piece. Lol.
Here in Indiana we are absolutely proud of our native son. A true hero.
Yes sir I’m in Indianapolis and this kid is a hero, I’ve been carrying myself since our crime is only getting worse
Conceal carry gun owners like this send the message"F*ck around and find out" Well done young man.
That should be the sign now at malls and schools. America needs to put down these monsters, train.
Don't let the democrats hear this. Lol
For real 🤣😂🤣😂😁
@Shep VanDelay Glocks tend to shoot low and left if you’re not really super experienced in shooting Glocks. It’s pretty easy to position your finger in the wrong way due to the trigger safety. If you compensate for that, usually you’ll notice a difference. Unless you have a used one, then it might just be the barrel harmonics. Although I’m not an expert, I do shoot Glocks a lot and have for almost two decades.
I've got a Holosun on my Glock 42. I can literally shoot hole on hole groups

I gotta give him props for a 40 yard shot.
He didn't break the law, he just broke the rules lol, and by breaking teh rules he saved countless lifes.
The “TextToMe” is a scammer
Well worth it, in my opinion.
Honestly though 40 yards at the gun range is hard enough let alone in the heat of the moment
Bro especially with a handgun under pressure. Brody went ultra instinct 💯
@@ThatToast who the hell even trains at 40 yards with a handgun?? that's a long damned way for a handgun.
Indiana here - I’ve noticed friends on my social media feed who were non-stop freaking out about the new carry law have been oddly quiet this past week…
The only “law enforcement” that opposed the Indiana Constitutional carry law was the State Police that used the carry permit as a revenue stream... all others with the exception of IMPD backed it...
Lafayette Police Department Chief Patrick Flannelly, the guy that hired a Nazi as a cop, spoke out against it.
Under extreme stress, this kid put 8 out of 10 rounds from a pistol into a moving target 40-50 yards away that was shooting back, without hitting any innocent bystanders. All without any formal training. Damn fine job young man!🇺🇸😎👍🏻
He had the hand of God on him. 8 out of 10 at that range is beyond professional standards.
Cops have hit ratios around 18% from 7 yards away when there’s return fire. That’s insane.
Some local ranges should give him a free pass for life, and some ammo companies need to sponsor him.
Got damn! That's shooting
His grand dad needs his props for teaching him how to shoot. Nothing wrong with having “boomer” values. Those of us who are lucky enough to be taught by our grandparents and great grandparents have some valuable life skills early on.
50yd, Vern? Attaboy! Can I hear 60?
…Explains why a large portion of the “media” has completely ignored this event.
Correct. Self-defense doesn't fit their anti-freedom agenda.
Yeah, I noticed they squeaked about it once or twice, also making sure to mention how "rare it is" for an armed civilian to stop a mass shooter.
@@riboflavinfolate3964 Yeah so rare are those instances of stopping the bad guy that it only happened 3 times this past weekend - and those are of the ones I know about. Many others I'm sure.
It’s not in there narrative . This goes against what there saying about guns. The only reason little is being said is because the guy went against mall rule about carrying a gun.
The bad guy also went against mall rules but that’s not mentioned let alone how many were saved because of his action.
@@j.fabela1748 I guess the mall would prefer that the sheep didn't bring their sheep dog with them. But it is ok to let the wolves into the mall.
NO MATTER WHAT GUN OWNERS DO THEY TELL US WERE WRONG! Absolutely ridiculous. Thank God this hero was armed, ready, and willing to take action. He saved countless lives, we need more people like him, and more to support his actions.
Dude is a bad ass. Deserves all the honor and respect. When you make unalienable rights a criminal act you make criminals. If you’re a good guy, carry everywhere. Because evil criminals are lurking. With guns, knives, cars, etc. They can use anything as a weapon. Be prepared to help those that can’t help themselves.
"You don't stop mass shooters with laws, you stop them by removing their motivation."
You also remove them by stopping their heartbeat.
You also remove them by refusing their cash.
Amen! "Common Sense Gun Laws" do NOTHING to stop mass shooters, because, like Colion said: They don't OBEY gun laws!"
What does this response mean? Can you elaborate?
You also stop them by putting up limitations.
This is a very good example of how having a "gun free zone" sign can actually be a liability for the business.
Gun Free Zones are the most stupidest signs they ever come out with and only get people killed 😒
Gun free zones should be held liable for fatalities caused by their negligence.
That’s the thing it’s not unlawful to carry a gun in a gun free zone it’s just the place of business rules. And it’s only unlawful if someone sees him carrying it or know he is carrying it. And that place of business tells him to leave then he’s trespassing and it becomes unlawful. So he might have disobeyed the no gun sign but it wasn’t unlawful.
@@russianwolf1 do you mean the business that puts it up or the state that makes those law... Or both?
Shark free zones
One of my old arguments for making it easier for mentally healthy, law abiding citizens to carry weapons (not just firearms) was the Austin Clock Tower shooting. Yes 14 people were killed and 31 wounded. But the reason that is not often talked about for the body count being not higher was because of citizens with access to weapons. Many of the students on that campus were ranch hands attending classes when they were not in the fields or hunters. They had their weapons in racks in their cars and trucks. WHen these individuals realized what was happening, guess what they pulled to lay suppression fire on the clock tower which helped create the opening that allowed the Law Enforcement Officers and armer citizen who stopped the shooter to gain access to the tower.
Armed citizens, "Good Guys with Guns", once more acted as guardians of their community.
about 25 minutes ago I just asked a Polk County Sheriffs Deputy what his thoughts were about Eli’s brave actions to stop 🛑 the shooter at the Greenwood park mall and he said “That Lawfully carried concealed carry man DID the RIGHT THING”
Greenwood Park Mall has a “no guns” policy.
Two men broke that policy last Sunday - one to murder, the other to protect.
The murderer is dead because the defender ignored that policy.
Policy, schmolicy ... Carry everywhere.
It’s not-so-good to obey a policy which gets you killed.
Policy doesn't overule constitutional rights!
Learn the Law of Indiana, Constitutional Carry Law went into effect July 1 2022 so the gun free zone means NOTHING you must be upset more werent murdered
“It’s hard to kill a lot of people when those people are shooting back at you.”
Thanks for getting this out
Brings tears to my eyes on how many lives this young man saved! God bless him and I for one thank him!
That young man has not only my respect but my prayers. Regardless of what people think taking a life even in self-defense is an emotional and mental drain. You dont just wipe it off and go on with your life. Ask any armed forces member that has seen combat.
👍
I’m from Greenwood, and I’ve always carried when going to that mall. This guy while he violated mall policy, he broke no laws. He’s a hero.
I bet unfortunately they try to make it a law now.
Does the mall have signage on all the doors stating it is a "weapons free zone"? I saw something that quoted the mall's "shopper's code of conduct" whatever the hell that is, saying weapons were prohibited.
Yep. Difference between policy and law.
@@tomtruesdale6901 yes there is signage, but doesn’t carry the force of law.
I’m right there with you Pat. I’m near East Indy and carry everywhere, including that mall. Only place I have ever had an issue is Washington Square mall. The “armed” guard, open carrying, told me I couldn’t carry there. It was just recently bought by Simon Malls. I told him the signs were not enforceable by law. He asked me what statute says that. I showed him the law as written, and then I left because I was asked to leave. My car was subsequently attacked when leaving, my kids with me. Slammed it in park, got out, guy said Nevermind, I’m not fucking with your gun. I tend to open carry more often than concealed, and I have been carrying for years under the old law so I have my LTCH.
Their argument is literally, “it’s really bad that he stopped this mass shooting.”🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Nobody ever said they were that bright.
Because they're traitors and want to use situations like this as bargaining chips against the American people. It's blatantly obvious what they're saying without saying.
He's a hero. It's sad, the media isn't talking about this. Great video.
40 yards with a pistol. That’s what I call gun control at its finest. Great job young man.
The only legitimate gun control.
Do these "activists" realize that constitutional carry literally makes it legal for good citizens to do what criminals already do? We live in bizarro world.
They don't care
Wouldn't those gun-grabbers just say "well if there are no guns there wouldn't have been a mass shooter in the first place"?? 🤔
They don't care about the constitution. They are authoritarians.
@@EroticOnion23 Then I'll bring up the Boston bomber and his pressure cooker or the Paris truck attack that killed 84 people. Guns aren't the problem.
@@EroticOnion23 same thing goes, only law abiding citizens would be the ones without their guns
"Responsible armed citizen" is the perfect description of the hero of this saga. It's much better than "law abiding gun owner".
Well said!
Responsibly armed citizen using Judicial Marksmanship.
Righteous gun slinger is even better. Turn him into a folk hero.
@Hi There Hence why there is a difference between homelessness and vagrancy.
The mass-shooting in Greenwood is orchestration for the upcoming assault- weapons ban bill. Fortunately it was foiled by an American hero.
From indiana this happened 20 minutes away, well done my guy
10 rounds down range. 8 rounds hit. Target was 40 yards away. Target was a imminent threat with a weapon. Stress levels at a ridiculously high range. Dude is a hero!!!!!
Hell yeah, he didn't even have a "permit". Shows you don't need one to be responsible and exercise your rights heroically.
The "gun control" lobby solely wants to ban guns. Since they cannot get support for that, they chip away at peoples rights.
All their laws make zero difference for public safety. It's already illegal to shoot people. It's illegal to brandish a firearm. Tons of felons have illegal guns already.
These people don't care, because they live in a bubble.
Permits are not required where constitutional carry is law.
@@Arthurian. I'm aware. I'm making a point that everywhere in the US should be constitutional carry. Hence the name.
Quit diminishing the meaning of these terms. Someone was shooting. Possibly at him. He shot that guy to save his own life. Which is why he carried a firearm. A byproduct of that was other people didn't die. He isn't a "hero " or comitt "heroic" acts. Hes a human. Thats it.
I don't ask another man for rights that are bestowed on me by my lord and creator. Especially scumbag crooks in government positions. I have carried almost daily since I was 14. I will never be disarmed.
I think it should be possible for someone Shot in a Gun free zone to Sue the Business responsible for the gun free zone for the lack of Security and Safety that such zone provides.
After that, sue the city, state that allows/forces the no-gun zones. That's dereliction of duty.
I mean, it is possible as a civil suit
I think some of the victims of the Aurora CO theater shooting tried that and failed. "Their business, their rules" and all of that, but since when do we let businesses deny people their BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS in order to enter the business? Would we let a business say "no Christians/Muslims allowed"? How about "no blacks"? "No gays"? Bearing arms is just as much a right as religious rights and the right to not be discriminated against on the basis of religion and race.
I only live like 30 minutes away from there and in the most liberal town in Indiana aside from Indianapolis. I've always felt safe here because virtually everywhere you go is someone with a gun who has provided food, safety, and been fairly well trained with it. It's terrible that it happened so close to home and I'm just glad that he was there. Thanks for doing the story justice with this video! It's wild how unnoticed this story has gone where I live just because it doesn't fit a narrative.
Notice how this has Never happened since CA Dem Liberalism.
thank you for saying this man i was there when it happened and i thank eli everyday for what he did and i pray for all the families of the victims 🙏
That young man just proved that an armed and willing civilian is more effective than 70% of the police force in the country
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
And, he is more effective than 100% of those useless Uvalde police.
And 100% more than traitorous FBI that raid us W gun owners homes. 😆
I wouldn’t go that far. Uvalde is an anomaly. That is a woke police force. Unless they’re giving tickets during Covid to people attending church in their cars, we all know the woke are cowards deep down. It’s why they talk such a good game all the time.
Amen
This 22 year old good samaritan with a gun has reduced the carnage. What ever will the anti-gun left do without their precious body count?

Colion you are totally head on, I love your message, I live in Arizona and we do not have to have any permit to carry open or concealed as long as we are over the age of 21 for concealed!! The guy that stopped the shooter is indeed a Hero, in fact being a veteran I could not put 8 rounds into someone at 120 feet with a handgun, I would need a long gun to do that and I am a military marksman. This young Man trained and practiced as he should, his family also deserves credit along with his girlfriend whom during the shooting acted in a triage fashion to save a woman's life!!! Two totally great examples of Heroes if i ever saw one. And as a veteran I would be perfectly okay with these two being given the highest military honor, the Medal of Honor though they never served!!! Criminals beware, as for my house, not only do we serve the Lord, but we carry and know how to use our firearms responsibly!!! Great job in calling out the opposition!!!!!
Colin i am glad you are talking about Eli doing this heroic thing of stopping this mass shooting.
I'm glad this guy is actually getting publicity, because most stories like this are usually kept under wraps.
👆FACTS. And that's something that _needs_ to change.
I only wish he was getting more publicity. We should never feel ashamed for doing the right thing. An they're tying to villianize this young man. TERRIBLE! He had the courage to put himself in harms way to keep others alive....
Unfortunately he's getting criticized by anti gunners who are arguing because he broke a mall POLICY. Not an actual law. They are pathetic.
A school resource officer in AL shot and killed an armed man trying to get in an elementary school about a week after Uvalde. I bet a lot of people have never heard that story.
The teachers had the doors locked too. They deserve an honorable mention.
That's scary cause it's true
Anti-gunners would rather have higher body counts and demonize hero's that actually saved people rather than help anyone. This is proof they simply don't care and want control, not safety.
Anti-gunners would rather ZERO body count

Especially under duress.
AND he got 2 hits.
yes sir i agree
No military or police training, Constitutional carry like myself and was able to take out the threat. dude is a hero for sure.
and with constitutional carry, i think more people would be inclined to got out and practice, as evident by this incident. 10 shots at 40 yrds!
Fuck military and police training. We the people are better than that.
I live literally one mile from this mall! Since this mass shooting happened there has be 2 other shooting attempts with no success! I appreciate the time you took in the breakdown of and honoring the hero in this matter! This situation is one very close to home and after what Eli went through that day, he needs more of this same feed back! This young man had to take someone's life that day because if he didn't others would've lost their lives! Thank you Colion for all you do for our 2nd amendment and thank you Eli for being you, the hero you were born to be!!
Best, most important sentence: You Are Your First Responder
When it's a mass shooting, there's criticism of the firearm. When it's someone stopping a mass shooter, there's criticism of the hero.
Really? In a mass shooting, the firearm does exactly what it's designed and built to do. How can anyone criticise that?

There is no "constitutional carry law". There is a natural right that is affirmed by the constitution however.
Precisely!
True but Indiana native here. Our constitutional carry law literally just went into effect in the recent month or two. If that law haven't with through yet this man wouldn't have been armed, and instead of would have been a victim along with many more. This is all the proof states need to pass constitutional carry. What was the democrats saying about the vaccines? Oh ya... If it saves just one life...
@@adolpholiverbush5867 states cant override a federal law. the right to carry any weapon is in the constitution (federal law) and every state had to ratify the constitution to become a state.
Yes the Constitution just puts an inalienable right off limits to the federal, state, county, and shity governments. But feds and states have long ignored that fact on purpose. Therefore a law was needed to repeal the laws requiring one to jump through hoops and pay lots of money for the privilege of a carry permit. TN passed Constitutional Carry last year and I still renewed my permit, to lifetime. The fact they recognize it’s not necessary anymore, and optional means I’ll go on and keep it. What we need is national reciprocity or national constitutional carry that states can’t opt out of. No ammunition or magazine laws to stand. Shit holes including but not limited to DC, NY, Maryland and on and on outlaw the possession (even in storage in your hotel room) of guns by all non residents stuck going through there. If you don’t stop you’re allegedly protected by interstate transportation but if you get sleepy and decide to take a nap at a hotel for one night you get reclassified as a resident and felon. Illinois at least lets you leave them locked in a vehicle but every state should be out of the gun banning and restricting game.
correct!
but most, and I mean even most that support the 2A, don't understand WHY the bill of rights was written....
not when...
not who wrote it....
but WHY was the bill of rights written?
most americans cannot answer that simple question.
Also hitting at 80% while closing from 40yds under fire.... Eli should be recruited by the SF community
This video is Total Common Sense! Thank you!!
There are details that he hit the gunman with 8 of 10 shots at 40 yards.
If anything has inspired me to train, it’s definitely this story
Distance handgun skills are important.
Yup he was smart. He braced himself against a pole to steady his hand.
Gun control at its finest.
“You don’t stop mass shooters with laws. You stop them by removing their motivation, or motor functions.” There fixed it
Well said friend AMEN.
"People tend to leave you alone after you start putting holes in them"...
There was not a single word you said I don’t wholeheartedly agree with. Eli is a hero!! You are a hero for being a voice for the PRO 2A!
He landed 8/10 shots on target from 40 yards on a moving target, this young fella deserves a medal
40 yards with a pistol and under stress. This dude is a legend. Why isn't he being idolized more in the media
Exactly. What gun was he carrying? A Canik METE or Sig P226 mk25, maybe a Springfield XDm 5.25.
I wonder if he had an optic/red dot on his pistol. I finally put a holosun 507k on my G43x MOS and it is incredible how accurately I can hit at long distance now. I have a 20 inch gong at 100 meters on my property and I can pretty easily hit it 4 or 5 times out of 5 tries with that sub compact pistol.
@@90whatever easily hit 110+ yards with a 3.4 in barrel huh ... do a video
@@gastondraco5906 it’s definitely possible. I’ve seen 200 yard shots with the 43x and a red dot
@@MrBrad122394 I’m thinking a canik. Affordable and accurate. Perfect for a young gun owner lookin for something different than a glock.
To Everytown: As a former law enforcement officer, I can tell you without a doubt that I if I were surrounded by 100 people, 99 good people and one violent criminal, I would much rather have 99 armed good people and one armed bad guy with me than 99 unarmed good people and one armed bad guy.
I couldn't agree with you more than I do . You and every other thinking individual feel the same way
ouch, very well said...
You a real 1.
We just trying not to die out here
Preach my brother preach
It's funny that judges,district attorney's,and law enforcement don't realize that when they prosecute or enforce any gun control laws they don't know and realize that they are committing crimes. Title 18 U.S.C. section 241 conspiracy against rights, title 18 U.S.C. section 242 deprivation of rights under color of law,a policy is a custom, and title 5 U.S.C. sections 3331,3333,7311 perjury in violating oath of office/swearing false oath which is treason and a felony under the law.
We that care for our women children and elderly appreciate this brother🙌🏾
Love the "Defund Gun Control" hat! That's so apt. Bloomberg funds Every Town for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action.
It's extremely impressive someone that literally just started carrying a gun was able to pull off a 40 yard shot before the gunman could lock in on him. A true hero that was genuinely risking his life to save others!
I think I heard the officer in the press conference state that Eli "steadied himself behind a concrete pillar" which was smart on many levels - enabled him to steady his shot and provide protection against being shot. That was some situational preparedness ...
Cheers..
Not just the distance but the timing and accuracy. 8 out of 10 rounds hit the shooter and ALL in 15 seconds of the shooting.
Just because he decided to carry via constitutional carry does not mean he has never shot a fire arm before. I am 57 and I was shooting my Dad's bb pistol when I was 5. My first and second .22 rifle at 14. But my first pistol at 28.
He is a hero in my eyes as well as many others that have stood up to the evil in this land.
Impressive in the heat of the moment, heart rate must have been skyrocketing
40 yards ain’t no joke with a pistol. Good job to this young hero.
Not to take away from what he did, but a red dot sight makes 40 yards way more doable with a pistol. It's still not easy, but a lot easier than it is with iron sights.
@@immikeurnot 40 yards on a relatively slim sprinting target with 80% accuracy under stress is absolutely nuts with a Glock red dot or not
@@Sickadaaa active shooters wont be sprinting ... i bet that until the first hit the POS was basically standing still trying to aim for his next victim not running around
@@Asghaad Nope, per reports, shooter was exiting and moving from the restrooms and firing at the same time. From the first shot being fired by shooter, Eli responded and put an end to his rampage within 15 SECONDS. So basically go from, eating food with your girlfriend and in that mindset to pushing her to safety, getting your weapon out, evaluate for friendlies trying to escape, secure your position, overcoming adrenaline high and then put 10 rounds on a threat who outguns you and then land 8 of those shots....ALL in 15 Seconds. Without any prior military or law enforcement training.
I am confident that most folks are not even understanding what Eli managed to pull off.
@George Jones That kind of doubt should lead everyone with a gun to go to a range and put in hours of practice time every week. If you want power of this magnitude, make sure you have done the basic things required to be worthy of said power and accept the responsibility that comes with it. Same for 1A as well.
This is absolutely a ringing endorsement of the 2A
Man, you ARE the smartest, best defender of our LOGICAL Second Amendment. Keep up the good work!
There is no point in having a discussion with people who are pro gun control. Because they are among the dumbest people who walked on this earth.
What this young man did is a prime example why having a firearm is essential for the safety of his self and the innocent people around him. Thanks for posting this video Colion 👍
Funny story, got into a HUGE argument with people a few days before this happened about the good guy with the gun narrative. They (leftists) were adamant that a good guy with a gun doesn’t exist and has never stopped a mass shooting (despite me showing them multiple examples of where it has in the past, which they dismissed as propaganda) then a day or two later this happened. I posted a link and heard nothing from them again. They can’t even admit they are wrong or open their eyes and think for themselves the indoctrination is that strong.
I would disagree with you on one point. Pro gun control folks are not dumb. They think with their heart and not with their head. They dont use logic. I am a CC advocate and carry whenever I can.
@@josephlong7420 thinking with your heart and not your head is just another way of saying someones dumb.
you also went so far as to say they don't use logic, once again you just said they were dumb lmao.
@@A_piece_of_broccoli In that case, I'm very glad my wife is dumb. I'm joking. She thinks with her heart far more than I do and I am very glad she does.
@@josephlong7420 if the hero thought with his head there is a good chance he would have just ran away at the first sign of trouble because the mind can easily fail you just as much as your heart, this is one of the rare instances where you have to think with both. Which in the end shows that he is incredibly smart.
A handgun? From 40 yards away without any collateral damage on his part?
He should be given a marksmanship award in addition to the praise of everyone who ever meets him. His story is just one of many too. There are between an estimated 200,000-3 MILLION defensive uses of firearms in this country (it's impossible to get an accurate accounting of this since defensive uses are rarely reported to police unless shots are fired; often brandishing the gun at a would-be attacker is enough to diffuse the situation) which is (on the conservative end) a whole ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more than the number of people who die from gun violence.
My daughter has pulled her S&W .380 twice to prevent bodily harm to herself. She has known how to use them safely since she was 5 years old. She is known around here to be armed at all times, so nobody messed with her. She went back to our home state and thats where people tried things, not knowing she had a CPL and her own long distance hole punch. Thankfully she didn't have to give anyone additional ventilation, she only had to show it to them and they backed off and left. There is a reason why she did the paperwork and I paid for her to have a quality piece and the CC class. I wanted her to be safe.
@@SweatyFatGuy I've had to draw my pistol once before. MASSIVE dude, threatened to kill me for telling him to chill out, started rummaging in his pocket for a weapon. I drew, he laughed and kept looking. Only when I spoke over my shoulder for these two kids to get the cops that JUST walked around the corner did he turn to run across the street.
Apparently, he was spoken to by those cops, decided this poor limo driver was the reason, shoved him up against the limo as I came around the corner, cocked his fist back, I said "HEY, KNOCK IT OFF" and that triggered him to threaten me at that point and start closing the distance while looking for what I can only assume was a weapon.
It's downright unfortunate that we, the people, need to carry for reasons like that. But... I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It's scary to think what what might happen if I, or your daughter for example, didn't have the means to protect ourselves, and these selfish pricks trying to ban everything are truly messed up in the head. They TRULY want victims, and it's despicable and disgusting, and I can't figure out why. The sad part is the people they've brainwashed into thinking the same thing...
Yeah that's impressive, do we know what gun he used? Even more impressive if it's a compact carry gun.
AND he hit 8 out of 10 shot! That is incredible marksmanship. But this young man needs to be in our thoughts, it can't be easy taking a life.
For real. I find it hard to keep a grouping at 25 feet with iron sights.
And the responding citizen in this story, is, by definition a HERO. "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities" for his courage and achievement.
A policy of a retailer is NOT law.
Interesting how a lot of media didn't cover this. There are plenty of people unaware of this.
Most people don't even know Indiana exists believe me I've lived here on my life and I swear anybody I talk to you from out of state don't know where Indiana is
It's your duty to inform everyone about this. Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns
Literally every major news network covered this.
Right. Because it destroys their narrative entirely! They want the masses to continue looking at those "no guns allowed" stickers when entering an establishment and "feel safe" 🙄
The mass-shooting in Greenwood is an orchestration for the upcoming assault- weapons ban bill. Fortunately it was foiled by an American hero.
Yup, this story made me feel perfectly comfortable carrying a gun, and never apologizing about it.
Don't be weak when you're called upon to be strong.

'Cause he had what they lacked... ba...ahem, guts!

I was at the mall when this happened. I thank God for this hero! There were at least 60 people in the food court at that moment! We sadly lost 3 souls but dozens were saved that day because of constitutional carry. Stand up America 🇺🇸

Concealed carry hell yes....ar15 or any weapons like it NO WAY ban them
@George Jones Radio Shack.
Great video. You need to be in Congress and clean up that dump.
Great analysis Collin! Most rational people will call this person a Hero!
What’s really sad is that they do their best to try and incriminate and discredit the law abiding citizens when having to use self defense.
That's a tactic of the left because normal logic and facts never fits their narrative. In general I note the far left is always more concerned with the perpetrator than the victim, in their way of viewing things I don't think they can even see the shooter got what he deserved and indeed part of their dislike for guns in the hands of law abiding citizens comes from the concept that no criminal deserves to die because there are always mitigating circumstances that justify even the vilest of crimes.
Oh yeah...not according to Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada...he says a person does not have a right to use a firearm for self defense even in a person's home...ROTFLMAO
Crazy, never seen that happen one single time.

U stop them by removing all guns.
@@Spawny500 look at the former Japanese prime Minister Abe assassination, it was 2 pipes and an electric firing mechanism attached to a wooden board. Not a properly manufactured or legally obtained firearm. This is a morality issue, not a tool issue.
Yes, firearms are tools, just like axes, shovels, saws, etc.
Anything can be used maliciously.
@@Spawny500 Wrong because there is thr black market, gun manufacturering and smuggling. Guns are smuggled from North America Europe and asai to South America. That's why criminals in Mexico El Salvador Columbia venezuala Brazil Guatemala have guns. Same with other countries around the world. Banning guns doest stop shooting homicides.
@@Spawny500 Banning guns makes more victims out of innocent people. Banning guns makes it harder or impossible for innocent people to defend themselves from violent criminals like rapists murderers ect.
@@Spawny500 let's just add that with a side of world peace too
If you don't have a gun get one and if you do have a gun get another.
I think the part I like best about the mall shooting incident was the fact that the shooter exited the bathroom thinking he was at a state fair shooting gallery when the reality was that he entered the fight with someone who could and did defend himself and the public effectively. 10 shots fired, 8 hits and this POS tried hiding like the coward he was. Way to go!
Most police, military, and Civilians couldn't hit 8/10 shots at 25 yards. This dude is a legend. 8/10 at 40 yards on a moving target that's firing in a crowded place? This dude might as well have been sent from heaven to stop this POS. He deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Medals of Valor from GPD and IMPD. What a legend!
Absolutely, entirely impressive shooting. Stellar and beyond what most are capable of.
Careful, you're getting spittle all over yourself.
@@coffeeandbytes9854 Ok Karen
Uh? I know everyone around here trains to shoot at 10 to 50 yards all the time with handguns. It helps that we are in the country and ha e room to do it. We also have the state laws that back us up. Fact is we (civilians) train more than the police do which is sad when so many lives still depend on police. Here shoot one or more weekends a month. It does help I can just go out the back door and target shoot.
IMPD and ISP opposed constitutional carry... pretty funny this kid did better then could..

@@simonsears5925 not really, id say average-ish, which kinda highlights how an OPTIC on a handgun completely changes its engagement envelope

with red dot and braced - no issue really, all you have to know then is your bullet drop at the distance and all you have to do is not to jerk the trigger. If the dot is where it needs to be and you dont actively screw the shot it will go where you need it at sub 100m range.

It’s the volume and nature of school shootings that really scare me, and the fact that law abiding citizens, one’s who allow themselves to be constrained by random things like “mag capacity” or whether they can carry in certain places, can’t do anything about it but wait honestly scares me.
