Being attacked while picking up a fare is likely a rideshare driver’s worst nightmare. That is exactly what happened to Scott Javoroski one winter night in Milwaukee. As one man pretended to press a weapon - which turned out to be a cell phone - into Scott’s neck, the other attempted to drag the driver out of the vehicle. Scott’s training as a martial artist and USCCA member helped him keep cool and respond with no loss of life.
In this true-story video, Scott Javorski and his attorney, Amy Scholz, break down the harrowing tale with Concealed Carry Magazine Executive Editor Kevin Michalowski. The three discuss what Scott did right during the encounter as well as what could have gone horribly wrong.
Carrying a Gun In His Car May Have Saved This Driver’s Life
00:00 Watch the shocking dashcam video of this attempted robbery.
00:55 Meet the good guy with a gun and part-time rideshare driver, Scott Javoroski.
01:32 What sort of training had Scott taken before he started carrying a concealed firearm?
01:58 Breaking down the dashcam video: What was going through Scott’s mind when the attacker pressed a “gun” against his neck?
02:56 How did situational awareness tie into this real-life scenario?
03:24 How long did it take Scott to realize what was happening when the two men surrounded and attacked him?
04:05 What was the first thought in Scott’s head during the attack?
04:41 What guns did Scott have on him that night and where did he conceal them?
05:12 Kevin reinforces an important point: Always use a holster, even in off-body concealed carry.
05:37 Why does Scott choose to keep a gun concealed in his door panel?
06:34 At what point did Scott decide that he would go for his gun?
07:50 An important question: What made this rideshare driver decide not to fire his weapon at his attackers?
08:37 Attorney Amy Scholz answers the question: “Does Castle Doctrine apply to vehicles in Wisconsin?”
09:24 What actions did Scott take immediately after scaring off his attackers?
10:08 Is it OK to leave the scene of a self-defense incident if you feel that you may still be in danger?
10:49 What happened when police arrived at the scene? What did they do with Scott’s firearms?
11:58 Kevin and Amy agree: Be cautious about making any statements on the record before consulting an attorney.
13:12 Did the responding officers ask Scott any guilt-seeking questions while he was under duress?
13:46 Attorney Scholz emphasizes how easy it is to inadvertently provide incorrect testimony immediately following a traumatic event.
14:49 Your legal situation becomes exponentially worse the moment you decide to fire your weapon, even in self-defense.
16:13 Kevin: “If you have the option, don’t shoot.”
16:26 Looking back on the situation, what would Scott have done differently?
16:51 Has the attack affected Scott’s day-to-day alertness levels or training?
17:44 Preparation and training include educating yourself on your rights and the gun laws in your area.
18:32 How long has Scott been a Member of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association?
19:01 Had the USCCA provided any useful training or information that came to mind during Scott’s self-defense incident?

He’s a victim and had to hire an attorney. This is insane
That’s how it is now sad
It's not sad, it's smart to hire attorney. So you don't self incriminate himself.
Agree, but there are several self defense insurance policies from a few companies for just this situation. Pay the premiums and you get legal representation if you're involved in a self defense case.
He probably has to hire an attorney because of Lyft …
Welcome to America
The buried lead here is "Lyft policy prohibits weapons" for their drivers to defend themselves. Another corporation putting profits above the value of Human Life.
How many private companies have you worked for that allowed you to carry a gun?
Who takes a gun to work?
@@InvisiMan2006
I carry a gun everywhere that our Tyrannical government doesn't prohibit. My employer is very pro gun.
@@InvisiMan2006 myself, the Lyft driver and John. Probably others.
@@InvisiMan2006 why wouldn't you?
It was a pleasure to have our firm represent Scott. It's unfortunate that he even NEEDED an attorney, but that is the world that we live in.
Why did he need you guys im not understanding is it because he didn't shoot
@@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093 law makers are opportunists like insurance companies, even when you are not in the wrong you are still wrong. here's the bill $$$
@@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093 Listen to the attorney in this video. An attorney who specializes in firearm-related self-defense -- and that is NOT a "Plea Bargain Pete" -- is your very best friend.
@@Old-Boy_BEbop Can you give us all even **ONE** concrete example of your claim?
"once the gentleman behind me popped my seatbelt off" dude called his attacker gentleman. Genuine dude for sure. The best warrior is humble and ready at all times.
You know things aren’t right when self defense is so complicated.. 🤦🏻♂️
Why do you think it has become so complicated?
@@USCCAOfficial Probably because these laws were made before the age where we capture just about everything on video.
You see the video, and it's clear he responded correctly.
Back in the day, even just 20 years ago, it'd be his word against theirs. Whenever you have a "he said/she said" scenario where the 3rd party didn't actually see what happened, it makes discerning the truth much, much more difficult. So while you have to presume both parties innocent until proven guilty, you also need to consider one of them is probably guilty, so you can't just let them go. You have to detain both, and sort it out through trial/due-process.
And now, with deep faked video and audio becoming so convincing, even video/audio is becoming less and less clear-cut evidence.
@@USCCAOfficial its complicated bc the government would rather u die than justice
Well, because some crazies shoot at anything that moves in the name of self defense ruining it for the rest of us.
Homie is a boss, he didn't open fire upon the cowardly punks and kept his composure. RESPECT.
Too bad....
@@oldsalt8011 they got the msg and maybe they'll think twice about robbing not every criminal deserves death but If they died they had it coming

@@oldsalt8011 Unfortunately, you are probably right..Better armed and softer target..
@@dillemwafoe9875 The MO never changes.
I drove for Uber/Lyft for about a year and always carried. There’s absolutely no reason not to, especially when you’re picking up trash people (which happens with every Uber and Lyft driver).
I carry as well. If I ever have to use it I will deal with Lyft’s no weapons policy then. So far I haven’t had to use it, nobody asks so nobody knows. What didn’t make sense to me is this guy brought up the no weapons policy as a reason to not carry on his person. You still have a gun so he is still violating policy anyways so why not carry on your person? I watch ASP videos all the time and countless times I’ve seen if it isn’t on you then you are at a significant disadvantage. Glad it all worked out and I hope Lyft doesn’t fire him.
@@JayPtown They can't technically fire him because he technically doesn't work for them. That's what's wrong with this ride share nonsense. They call you an "independent contractor" but they have all these rules about what you can and can't do in your own car.
Does that inviting someone into your car applies to the driver’s compartment as well? I mean once the drivers door opened it’s an abnormal ride share. I didn’t invite you to drive my car right. In all this guy covered his asp and glad he lived through to tell his story and teach all the CCW carriers who watch, just a little didn’t disappointed these guy didn’t get the life education they truly need i.e “hot lead” no sympathy for these crimes armed or not.
They will most likely deactivate his account.Block him from using the app,they don’t need to fire you.I drive Uber as well,I used to drive lift and they deactivated my account only reason was bad cellphone service,I accepted the ride,was heading to pick up passenger in JFK airport and lost connection on my way,way a got cellphone service back,the ride was gone and account blocked.Called lyft and they blamed me for canceling the ride.And they permanently blocked my account.They need no reason to block you.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 while they couldn't fire him, they could disable his account for policy violation. he's fortunate this was a successfully non-violent defense, so they are less likely to take that action(bad press when they already have more than they would prefer) but because the level of training is so varied among 2A carriers, and also several incidents where some drivers have not scored as well as Scott on the "did I do everything could to resolve this without drawing my firearm?" measuring stick, the litigation risk rose, and so the policies were changed. I drive for Uber, and before the policies changed, it used to be "Follow your local laws regarding CCW". IMO, rideshare companies need to revert to this previous stance. If they need to keep the lawyers happy, perhaps offer a training course/curriculum as a due diligence requirement to carry according to local laws while driving for them. I would love to see @USCCA involved with them in creating such a process. Not only is more training rarely a bad thing when it comes to 2A, the USCCA has produced some of the finest 2A education I've come across.
The attorney is a very smart lady, her comments regarding accidentally giving wrong info because you've just been through a high stress situation is incredibly valuable information.
Scott's ability to not "panic fire" shows amazing self-control, and mental preparedness, especially during an altercation with 2 people, and also most likely thinking the one in the back had a gun pressed point blank to him. Awesome story and glad all went well!
it was not gun but smart phone
@@jarmangill5911 thank you i really woundered what that thing is.
@@jarmangill5911 "thinking" is the key word.
He’s lucky because I would of started shooting and wouldn’t think twice. A good lawyer would easily get me off. They were acting as if they were armed it doesn’t matter if they weren’t. If you pretend to pull a gun on a cop you’re getting mag dumped 🤷♂️
@@MustaliS550 I agree he thought he had a gun so I was surprised he didn't start shooting at him
If Lyft or Uber wants to have these ridiculous rules, their CEO’s and owners need to be required to work over night in the worst cities areas that offer their service for a full month. Profits over employee safety.
I think that's messed up to but with that being said u don't have to drive for them if u don't want to
They're not employees.
@Lora Wachowska except pretty much 90% of all blue collar jobs, and pretty much all white collar jobs prohibit any weapons of self defense, including knives and OC spray, while working and in their buildings,warehouses, facilities. Even cargo haulers can't have any weapons on them.
Lol what career can most people can reasonably get where they can have self defense at the ready always? Public servants lxike police doesn't count and most people can't do that, in more ways than one.
Lol ironically enough about your comment, doing stuff like Uber/Lyft/Grubhub as a career is actually better/easier for self defense, including using firearms because while they're prohibited by policy _(mainly firearms, OC spray is ok),_ *if you're discreet then Uber and Lyft won't know you're armed,* and if you're lucky they won't even care.
Nobody fro, corporate is going to hunt you down and search YOUR car, worst that happens i they terminate your account but then just switch services or something lol. At a physical job, you get searched and you're immediately terminated, sometimes charged if you're caught with weapons. At my job I can't even bring my phone discreetly onto the work area, let alone a damn weapon lol.
@@-ABC- Lyft policy is NO WEAPONS AT ALL OF ANY KIND.
@@-ABC- no they won’t they will just flip a switch if they get a report of a weapon. So all some punk ass has to do to get someone fired is report to Lyft or Uber that you had a weapon in your car. They don’t even have to have had you as a driver. Car type and license plate is all they need. And there is NO OPPORTUNITY FOR DEFENSE.
Bringing his lawyer to the interview was a smart idea. Prosecuters and police watch these things, too.
Police are not your buddy in this area.
I don’t see why one should be present! He didn’t even fire a shot.. Sad you gotta tip toe around your god given rights..
It was a power move.
I thought the same thing, even though it's uscca. You never know.
@@hardcore4476 his attorney just wanted recognition
What a top guy. Super calm. Absolutely believable even without the video evidence. He never even fired in a moment of life and death
Anyone would've opened fire in the heat of the moment, this man has a composure of steel
Im glad he survived this incident funny how the media says nothing about this and if so it's minimal
@@00SingleSeven more like trying to stop good people from defending themselves at the hands of latte sipping geeks who are scared to defend themselves
It's because they the ones that want to support banning guns. They don't want good news of how guns defend people
Survived because it wasn't a real gun.
@@drewt.4353 and that mean they couldn't take the firearm away from him and use it on him had he not been determined to live and wasn't a coward and gave in to 2 attackers ? I can tell you this I'm glad he wasn't waiting on the police to appear and miraculously save him
Doesn't fit their lying narrative of the biggest threat being "White supremacist "
And he said “when concealed carry became available in Wisconsin” the fact that your right to defend yourself depends on what state you live in. Sick
Wisconsin is an open carry state too. I’m from Wisconsin myself this guy is a boss
Concealed carry is an extremely dangerous privelage. Your right to own a gun =/= your right to carry one around hidden in public
@@cine6982 @Cine Privelage =/= Privilege: a right or benefit that is given to some people and not to others.

Congrats to the driver! Glad he got out of that situation alive and well!!!
Wow, this whole video is really good. The interviewer's style fits the purpose of the interview well. Those friendly teaching style challenge questions are really good. Like the discussion on where the gun was, the castle doctrine, and actions after the incident.
Having the lawyer there and showing how she's the ultimate go to was a lesson more people need to learn.
Even from a marketing view this was great. There was value given first, the lessons learned from the incident. Then the subtle reminder that USCCA is helping in this and providing support. But it shows that USCCA is more concerned with what to learn & do in a situation like this.
I’m glad he survived and was smart enough to carry. I always tell drivers it’s better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 any day of the week. And the fact it’s better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it. Not to mention it’s more important to make it home safely then worry about getting deactivated for carrying.
Rather carry then not carry its a voilent world.
I hear you but you could end up losing your weapon and doing time if you don’t have your CCW. (I’m in California, very hard to obtain a CCW.)
Drop the mike👍
Ya ice cube told me that too
True, in third world countries you need to carry to survive
Are you telling me if he had shot the guy in the car, the victim would be in trouble? I just took my CCW class and it's mind-boggling how laws seem to actually be in favor of criminals and keeping them alive.
That's the simple fact. They would rather a stolen vehicle than a dead criminal. And this video is very one sided, survived the carjacking? They held him up with a phone
@@th3gov3rnm3nt I would rather a dead criminal.
Yup, liberal laws favor anybody but law-abiding, tax-paying citizens…. Why I stopped voting democrat.
That's why you don't record and make sure they're dead. Dead men tell no tales.
Votes have consequences
Not even interested in an interview like this but it was so well done I stayed for the whole thing. Nicely done 👍🏽
im owning a gun for a month now, and this type of situations has me scared asf, not because i could die, but because i could go to prision and viewed as a criminal just for defending my life !!
Wild huh. To even have him congratulated for his control (which don't get it wrong i respect fully) when he could have been looked on as a suspect for not even pulling the trigger and he was just car jacked is mind bending with a clean record and a concealed permit. It's disgusting.

Great information thank you for sharing your experience. I'M glad you made it through this safely.
Keep training and Rock on
1. Never talk to police.
2. Always have an attorney to represent you.
3, Record everything.
4. If you don't have to shoot to save your life, don't.
5. Train with your weapon until it becomes a part of you. Practice over and over.
6. Know what you are going to do in various situations.
BRILLIANT!!
1 yes
2 yes
3 no, don't record everything. That can be used against you.
4 yes
5 yes
6 yes.
7. Never think having a gun on you will save your life. Most of time it's about who pulls on who.
8. Always nice to have a gun and never using than not having it when you need it.
Ultimately we need more police, we are plagued by a culture of violence in inner cities.

LYFT AND UBER WOULD HAVE RATHER HAD THAT PASSENGER JAM A MACHETE THROUGH THE BACK OF THAT GUY'S SEAT, THEN HAVE HIM DEFEND HIMSELF. IT'S SICK.
So? Lyft and Uber have zero authority on what he can do with his car or gun other than ban his account
@@jaybartgis5148 while i will agree that lyft and uber are trash and ur gas miles are best used for finding r.e. deals as compared to working for those cronies.
Drivers can also rate passengers thereby making an uber request difficult if not done. Uber is the one that profits the most from rides never the drivers it a seasonal good or bad job at best and.either way its trash.
But ur statement today seems out of touch with aside from todays reality aside from the fact that money never cares about life or death.
@@DouglasFelts I don't understand your response. How will your passengers ever know if it's concealed? Private corporate policies hold zero recognition or legal authority
I concealed carried while doing Uber and Lyft. f*** their policy my life is more important than their bottom line.
Yeah but look on the bright side... ubers customer service will compensate him on the blood spilled in his car
Another great USCCA breakdown video. Hats off to this guy for DAM SURE staying very COOL under pressure. Most definitely! Being aware of looking at the robber hands that was in the car, and the other robber outside the vehicle seeing that they weren't armed. Not for taking a shot when they went to run away.
I carry every day all day everywhere I go because I live in America. Recently I had to go to CA for business for 2 days. 48 hours unarmed and I hated every second of it. I felt so vulnerable and helpless
my dad is legal to concealed carry because he was a maintenance man who also had to evict or deal with problem people for the landlords in very sketchy areas but recently opted out of carrying the handgun for keeping a baseball bat in the truck. Said there were too many situations where he was almost forced to shoot someone and he’s too afraid to do something that might ruin his life. A lot of people who can carry but don’t have this mindset I believe.
And i carry in "Sensitive areas", if its concealed no one knows.
If you genuinely need a gun on you to act as the equivalent of an adult pacifier you are mentally fragile and the exact type of person that should NOT be carrying a gun because you perceive threats where there are none, putting everyone around you at unnecessary risk.

Even innocent ppl can make mistakes recalling a traumatic story, so it's better to get a lawyer.
That's what the police use when they make a mistake.
Great interview about a real world experience and walk through. I am happy for him and his family. Those attackers are lucky they also survived. Unfortunately the laws are set up to protect the attackers more than the victims. I am sure it wasn’t intended that way but truth of the matter is that’s how it is. The legal system everywhere need to re-evaluate their laws and take a hard look at these type of crimes and situations to better protect victims and their families. I won’t get into the politics of it all because that’s many conversations regarding that attitude in how these laws and policies are decided. It’s a lengthy conversation(s). Great video!
Thank God he carried and went back home safe
Im very glad he came back home to me safe

@@mariajavoroski4467 glad your dad survived. He's a tough dude!

@@caiuspostumiusturrinus1024 they have been great for me.
Well because now days its about being punished for abiding by laws that they just disagree with. It's becoming political law
Compared to police that shot into a crowd of people because they thought someone had a gun, this guy managed to compose himself enough to think in a calm manner.
That's why I'm done with Uber and Lyft. I love driving but having some strangers behind my back makes me so uncomfortable. You never know what a passenger can do to you? It's not worthy risking your life.
this is one of the things that has stopped me from driving
Definitely not worth it💯
This attorney is damn sharp.
As an Army Veteran and long time CC permit holder I salute you Scott. Well done and Congratulations on your continued living of your Life.
As for the dirtballs - Karma will find you if nothing else. Look forward to that.
Nope. The karma is letting these practicing felons learn that they need real weapons and they can't hesitate before shooting their next victim(s).
The best karma would be that they catch your parents in a public place and put them in the coroners office
Karma? That's only for tools that don't believe in God.
Living to die another day. Pointless victory
Just like the criminals in NY getting out of jail for the 30th time then shooting some poor mom in the head? Or pushing some old lady into a train? If that's karma then yes I believe all criminals in America nowadays will suffer from karma
Thank you for sharing your experience. Stay safe.

Agree
Hi Scott I’m glad you were carrying. I’m a CCW carrier myself. Glad you made it home safely and no one was killed. Were you able to retain your Uber/Lyft platform after this incident. This is why I feel if you live in a state that issues a CCW to law abiding citizens and drivers, they should be allowed to carry regardless of Uber/Lyft no weapons policies because you don’t know what kind of passengers you pick up, there background, and there intentions. Glad your alive and that you have USCCA for your lawyers.
@Ryan Gonzales, there is a second part to this video where Scott states that he was suspended while Lyft investigated the incident. He was reinstated after 3 days. HTH. 🙂
Excellent information. Critical that if one is educated on rights and limits of the law. Bravo Scott. well handled.
Very articulate. Outstanding interview.
I appreciate, video segments like this you get the help you need from real interviews you get the opinions from a real police officer and a lawyer and a victim a real scenario
Kevin, the content of this video (which was very informative and instructional) could not have been a more perfect advertisement for the USCCA. It succinctly presented the most important messages of our Association to the general public and Second Amendment advocates, new and old. Great stuff!!

Thats 500k to 3 millions interaction of self defense per year. Criminals see a gun and run away. Good job on scott, im so glad he didnt have to use his weapon.
Sadly I don’t think this situation will even make it into the “guns used in self defense” statistics because he didn’t have to discharge his weapon. We all know his gun saved him but because he didn’t have to fire the weapon I don’t think the fbi or whoever keeps track will count this as a defensive use of a firearm, again even tho it obviously is. That’s why that statistic is so inaccurate because there’s countless situations where the good guy draws a firearm and scares the bad guy away without having to fire it. I’ve carried daily for over a decade the only time I had to draw my weapon the bad guy ran away as soon as he saw my gun I never even called the police because it was just pointless so there’s so many defensive uses of firearms that go un reported
@@Evergreen1400 u are correct. Even when there are police reports, not all depts have a stat for that. And yet more ppl have a story like u than have actually used the firearm.

Same thing judges and prosecutors are doing when the let repeat violent offenders out on $10 bail. Perfect way to structure a society that favors criminals far above victims
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 what are you even talking about?

Which word(s) confused you?
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 I can't even tell, because you deleted your illogical bs
fellow wi guy here this is exactly why i quit drivn a few yrs ago ppl started to get funny and i didnt want to put lead to someone. glad everything worked out fir you sir. and best of luck to all the rest.
Mental and physical preparation are EVERYTHING
He handled this VERY well. I'm glad he is ok and was able to go home to his family.
Wow...this man kept his composure so well and had every reason to react but did not. Thank God
Love this Gentleman Scott the Uber Driver. He is so cool & calm during his attack.
Thanks for this great information and video
Great video. I'm very happy things worked out well for Scott. I have to say that I'm impressed with Scott's level of discipline and ability to process what is happening so quickly. The decision not to shoot, when you knew something was being pressed against you from behind, took some very quick and level-headed thinking. Great job keeping your wits about you in a dire situation, Scott!!
This is one of my biggest pet peeves regarding electric door locks. For most vehicles, when you're in the driver's seat, there's no way to unlock only a specific door. I can roll down each window individually because each window has it's own rocker switch on the driver side door, but you can only lock or unlock all the doors at once.
You can unlock all the door and then lock your door :/ its not that hard (litteraly just take an extra second) or you can lock all doors and open one of the passengers door
@@ShadNex Entering and exiting a car is usually done in a transitional space (parking garage, on the street, etc.) If a driver only wants to unlock one of the rear doors they cannot do so from the driver seat without unlocking all the doors.
I unlock the doors and immediately lock my driver door instantly
Manual locks win again!
This guy / the driver handled this very well! Couldn’t have done a better job in this situation!
Great job sir
Never shoot a carjacker in your car.
First, it will hurt your ears.
Second, biohazard car cleanup is expensive, and not covered by your insurance!
But insurance does cover fire!!
Insurance would total you car so your statement isn't entirely true.
Haha thought this was going to be an anti gun rant at first, you got me! Shootings are definitely messy and i can imagine the cost of having it done professionally.
🔰 That’s a MOST ridiculous statement. So you should wait to be killed because you’re worried about some creeps blood being in your car❓
You take the appropriate action with the appropriate amount of force as the situation unfolds. You don’t have but milliseconds to think.
If you’re worried about your ears and blood, you’re putting your life after logic.
You absolutely cannot jeopardize your life thinking about the after effects as the situation is occurring…doing so will clutter your mind with unnecessary thoughts, and you cannot afford to have your mind cluttered in that moment.

😅😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Wow. Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I am a ride share driver and I carry everyday and am a USCCA member as well. This is some valuable information. This will definitely give me some insights on how to carry while in my vehicle.
I carry in the same area, started holstering on my person but now thinking of going back to the door
You protect yourself at work? Are you crazy? Lol jk stay safe, stay smart, like the boxing ref says, protect yourself at all times.
Glad ur alive ta talk @ it. Im betting the knife position has changed.
The hijacker's first mistake was trying to hijack Qui-Gon Jinn.
In the vast majority of these situations where a tough guy tries to rob, carjack or do any random violence on a good person, it's amazing how fast they turn tail and run when presented with a firearm by the intended victim.
So what. Obviouly they need to get away to continue their crime spree. The choices are simple... 1. an armed coward lets them run away, or 2. Judges and prosecutors let them run away. In either case the goal is the same... allow criminals to create more victims, and hopefully kill or maim innocent people.
The irony. The guys came to jack his car and left THEIR keys. Now he can’t even get into his 😂😂
right. If it was an electronic fob Id take a cruise that night and park his car up at the police precinct.
@@HoomerbirdG2 or drive it into a ditch and walk away lol
Criminals are not of the highest IQ
@@OnLyFuN1306 just the black ones
You did well bud, glad you’re safe.
The video says everything. Justice was served immediately. Period.
I’m glad Scott got out of there alive! Thank god. Unfortunately there was a Lyft driver a father of three and another Uber driver was shot and killed in an attempted carjacking here in Chicago months ago…to all my Rideshare drivers out there stay safe and keep awareness
"How and where you carry guns in your vehicle?" I wouldn't answer that.
In the tires
Now everybody knows! They’re gonna get you now
I thought of this before he even asked, that I hoped he wouldn’t ask and him not answer. Also, I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but that does not sound like a good place for firearms. Especially in the given situation. There was a guy between him and the gun, luckily it wasn’t used on himself. If I got it right the second guy opened the door and now the gun is further away and someone in between.
Never off body. Perp had better access to his gun than he did when the door was opened by the perp.
Me neither! No ones business where you carry
Good one !
Dude in the car really just tried to rob him with a phone😂 this guy was real lucky he was dealing with idiots
Man, I don’t know if I would’ve held back from shooting at the guy in my car. Good for him.
With the thought of he is armed in my mind, ( back seat criminal) I'd have smoked him. My conscience would been clean.
If the guy in back of had a weapon and was willing to use it ole boy is 6ft under right now. I do not agree with people praising his actions. They would have gotten him killed in a different situation. Should have left the gun were it was and let them have his stuff or turned to shoot the guy.
@@craigturbyfield1438 yea just let two criminals take his car with guns in it? Pretty much a firearm owners worst nightmare. What's your address? Since now everyone here knows you'll just let them take your stuff and not shoot them.
@@andrewredding3132 you missed his point. He drew a gun and did not fire it. Now he has no fear of his life self defense. If you draw you shoot period. First thing self defense teaches you. At the moment lethal force is decided as the best option you go full and hard until the threat stops moving. He has now unlawfully brandished a firearm.
@@shawngilbert6344 Kind of the same thoughts I have. Him not having any type of actual training, like he said at the beginning of the video, is why he didn't shoot. In my opinion he got extremely lucky that the situation was the way it was, and they were a couple of cowards. Otherwise his chances of being a chalk outline would've been a lot higher.
Much respect for Scott. The good guy wins!
He was rlly holding his phone like it was a gun🤣
Very informative.
These incidents where cab drivers, uber, Lyft and even if you give a friend of a friend a ride, there is so much that can go wrong. I am so glad you were or injured. Very lucky they weren't strapped and pulled first. Glad that lived to educate us
Oh dont worry, they'll be armed next time. Thank gawd they got to leave so they can kill someone later
I’ll be getting my CCW in Wisconsin soon so I am watching all these videos as to learn what not to do and what to do and I am a USCCA Elite member and I love my membership there’s so much material to learn. Having access to a defence lawyer is what sold me on the membership. Bonus it’s not that expensive either.
He played that uno reverse very well
Great video
There should be no question why you carry a gun or an accessible knife that can be used to stop the attacker. No ride share company or anybody should tell you that you don't have the right to defend yourself. What's more important than keeping your tenure with lift or Uber is your life because you've chosen to stay armed. I worked in a bank and one of the highest cash handling branches in all of my city and I had my CCW on me all day everyday when technically we were not supposed to be allowed to carry weapons but I still took it upon myself.
Haven’t seen this story anywhere on Google (I wonder why). I did see where a female Lyft driver defended herself with her legal firearm and was fired for Lyft’s no-weapon policy. I see why the executives would want that (in case of a bad shoot) HOWEVER, if the driver got firearm insurance, for example: USCCA, I really don’t see what the problem would be.
I wonder what Uber and lyfts culpability may be for arranging for muggers to get into my car as a driver? Considering they have a no weapons policy, I would imagine they need have a higher level of liability for my safety.
@@Ninja9981000 with Lyft, they prohibit even pepper spray. Uber, on the other hand, doesn’t. When I was driving rideshare, my pistol was ALWAYS within easy reach. No one knew about it, so what they didn’t know wouldn’t get me deactivated as a driver.
@@aprilwycherley Yeah, I also drove for both companies for a bit, and when I did, I always had my glock 19 on my hip and my glock 27 on my ankle. I never knew that they prohibited carry (although I figured they did) as I never really cared either way because it was my car and I'll do what I please. It wasn't a real job for me so if they ever found out and cut me off, I wouldn't really care to much and my safety is FAR and AWAY more important than their policy. Figured the only way they would ever know is if I had to use it anyway. I'm just curious if they have any culpability if they arrange a ride share with a mugger.
@@Ninja9981000 I did it for a while, and it wasn’t really a real job for me, as I’m disabled, and bring in SSDI. I’d really rather work a job again, but with COVID, and my lungs being one of my disabilities, I couldn’t take any chances, so when it came to the US, I stopped driving strangers, and would’ve stopped driving my kids if I could get away with it. They tend to be able to find germs where there aren’t any! I never drove after bars let out. I don’t deal well with drunks, and I don’t want to be around them while I’m trying to work. I’m also in a smaller city, so not as dangerous as some areas, but still not necessarily safe, either. Lyft doesn’t care, because drivers are expendable! The way I read the terms, tho, was how it is here, in Texas, you’re allowed to carry in your vehicle without a license, and the police won’t do anything about it. In fact, I don’t even think they ask when they pull you over if you have any weapons in the vehicle. Idk, because I haven’t been pulled over in a while (knock on wood).
Policies are often dictated by terms of the insurance coverage. Liability drives everything in business.
He needs to have his own podcast. His voice is amazing. 😂
Good Man !
the greatest lesson to learn here is, "KEEP YOUR FIREARM ON YOU". Glad he came out without any shots having to be fired. Well done.
This is a real citizen, he could've killed both guys but he didn't. I respect this gentleman for handling the situation calmly. I'm soo glad he survived this situation safely. Respect
What if those 2 come for you because he didn't help to stop them?
@@serverservidor16that's a big what if.. he made a judgment call not shoot them in da back. I wouldn't have either unless I or anyone with me was hurt by the encounter
Carrying a firearm is carrying a hammer, and you should never have to nor want to pound in a nail
He should have killed them. If I see someone brandishing a weapon in any threatening manner they're eating lead, who knows what they might do.
@showbizonastick Facts! They could have lit his ass up tbh
Great questions!
I have a CCW In Florida great video. If they run or back off then just let them go never shoot if the Threat has left or says ok and backs away. I know this but great Info for sure!
