Attitude. Skills. Plan.
the responsibility should be on the police dept, there the one's coming to my front door in the middle of the night with guns.......don't shame the homeowner.........i don't need a camera nor a cell phone to follow the constitution..................................the police sure seem to need cameras to follow the constitution...............
It should, but whats morally right won't save you from being shot by a jumpy cop
@@JasonMW45 well... this caveman can figure out the fact the constitution exited before the phone...... i don't need a phone to follow the constitution.......... i'll answer my door anyway i please, as a free man!
I know it's not the topic of this video, but no-knock warrants should be illegal everywhere. Bad guys can yell "Police! Search warrant!" as they kick your door in. Just because you hear that, it doesn't mean you should drop your gun. No-knocks put everyone in a bad situation. Also Ring cameras are not 100%. Mine got knocked offline for a month before I even noticed. They also dont work if the power goes out. I think that's how mine went offline in the first place.
It made sense when raiding active drug houses since that only gave them time to grab their guns. But like most government expansions the police took a mile from the inch they were given. It may cost lives but not theirs who who cares.
True nothing is full proof but having options is always good
There’s a reason for raids, it’s because there are bad guys in the house with guns and drugs, you require the police to wait at the door and knock and announce the bad guys will destroy evidence and get into a defensive position of advantage where if the cops come through the door they get shot
Raids allow you to have the element of surprise and violence of action to arrest people without getting into a gun fight and preserving evidence
Why make a firearm? Because its fun and you learn a lot about how a firearm works. No different than building a ship in a bottle or refurbishing a '57 Chevy.

When untrained and trigger-happy officers come to your door.
Untrained, trigger happy? How about some specific facts to support this.
@@oldcop18 Well, first, get out of your feelings. Second, if you respond to a call at some zero dark hour, bang on a door or walk around a property and then are shocked that the homeowner may be armed whereby your only response is to shoot through the door/window - I would consider that poor training and being a little trigger happy.
No knock warrants or immediate forced entry should be illegal in all but a very few cases such as a hostage rescue. To breach someone home unannounced and then kill them because they tried to protect themselves is just wrong and no civilized society should allow that to happen.
Don't open the door for a potential criminal, badged or otherwise.
Answering door without a weapon.. just don't display it.. challenge through door.
There are privacy implications of camera doorbells, so it's not just 'stupid to not have one.'
Yea especially with the way big tech respects the 4th ammendment.
It is possible to have a server setup physically in your home to host the videos and that you can access with an app without having to trust big tech to store the data of your front porch, however it does require significant technical know how and more money. Other options that are more accessible will record but store on an SD card. However that cannot be accessed immediately on your phone. Cops need a warrant if the data is in your home on your server. However, all they need is the company's permission to view your doorbell cam footage if it is stored in the cloud.
You should also take into account the fact that your porch is in the public view and you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy there. If your neighbor across the street has a doorbell camera facing your house, the privacy benefits of not having a doorbell camera yourself is already non-existent. Additionally, you can take some measures to mitigate privacy concerns by having your camera face in a way that it only records a narrow section outside your door so you can see who is there.
Finally, in terms of safety of an occupied house, a peephole can let you see out without having a camera. A peephole combined with a doorbell cam that records onto an SD card can get you most of the security without losing any privacy.
@@Robot404_ as well as they have large peep hole viewers, the screen door viewer
"There are privacy implications of camera doorbells"
Could be. But the security/notification benefits of these cameras, IMHO, outweighs any privacy violations of video of the Amazon/UPS/Fedex guy dropping off packages or that dang racoon setting off my camera.
@@papimaximus95 Yes, there are some nice conveniences, just simply understand who owns the footage, and who all has access to the footage. As a side note, you are simply one of the people that has access to the footage.
Another thing to add on the front door camera concept. Most of them you can talk through the camera whether its the door bell cameras or a standard camera. The cameras i have i can also sound an alarm.
John says the federal government has infinite resources to screw your life up and the ex-prosecutor says they take full advantage of it. God bless them. I would too. I have so many thoughts about this. This is the kind of prosecutor we all hate. Over-zealous to screw your life up and a biiiiggg ego.
That is a lawyer at his most honest; the will to "win at any cost" is endemic of the profession.
I heard that, too, and was disgusted by it. There are no blessings living in the Marxist society we’re currently in.
@@tamstutz921 there is nothing Marxist about the most powerful capitalist country in the history of the earth. You need to start thinking more deeply about what is wrong with it instead of using Red Scare thought terminating cliches as a short hand for anything that upsets you.
@@theseukonnen1200 Sorry. Thought we were talking about the United States.
@@tamstutz921 We are. The United States is a capitalist country, and it is the most militarily and financially powerful capitalist country that has ever existed.
The only thing I think left unclear here was, where it is a consensual encounter, that consent can be conditional and revised or revoked at any time.
As example:
Outsider: knocking "Open the door."
Person within domicile: "No, thank you. I would rather discuss this through the door."
O: "I can't hear you well enough, open the door so that we can talk."
P: "Your hearing is not my concern, "No." is a complete sentence. Leave now."
The stating of intent and executing action of calling dispatch to confirm identity should be a no-brainer (on either side of the door) when a knock-and-talk is purported.
"Is the juice worth the squeeze" (5:34). I like that adage.
Just answer the door unarmed and naked. That’ll likely scare anyone away, cop or criminal.
NEKKID GRAMMAW!!!
Don't open the door after hours, period. If the door gets kicked in, then respond with a firearm. Just don't open the door!
hmm
On "PMF" - the only way you'd run afoul of federal law is if you SOLD it to someone else. If you just give it to someone else with no money exchanging hands they can't do squat about that (unless it was the case that the friend was a prohibited person and they can prove you knew the friend was a prohibited person).
Always answer the door atlest on your hip concealed . Have ring camera or something and Remember you don’t have answer the door for anyone ( except the cops , they will just kick the door down anyways.) also get a real metal door that can’t be kicked in and maybe have your plate carrier by the door with hearing protection
Thank you John & Tim
My answer the door gun is staged with a holster. Despite what people think, there are real-life situations I've been in between "call the cops with the door closed" and "answer unarmed". A holster allows me the flexibility to respond however I need, while making sure my gun can be secured and accessible as needed.
I burned a relationship with the new neighbors over "just hide it behind your back" when they went for a handshake. I couldn't sit it on the floor because I had toddlers at the time. A holster solves all of that.
I don't open the door for anyone I don't know PERIOD! There will be no reason for a cop to have a warrant against me, if that ever happens it will be a mistake and I will not open the door. I don't trust anyone I don't know.
Given the present low cost of cameras I can have a Ring doorbell camera obviously there, and another camera inconspicuously placed looking at the front door and the area around it.
I"ve been knocking on doors in the middle of the night for over 34 years. Never had a problem. Police radio is turned up so occupants hear police chatter, my flashlight is scanning all windows, so occupants see the light. I don't knock and say police because they are most likely in their bedroom and won't hear me. A few loud knocks, listening for movement in the house, lighting up the windows. When I hear them approach the door, then I announce police.
If your worried enough to bring your gun to the door to answer it you had better do some recon and find out what your looking for
Pray hard!
Is it actually illegal to transfer a personally manufactured firearm? I had always thought so, but I thought I remembered someone pointing out that you just can't make a gun with the intent to transfer or sell it (since that requires an FFL), but, if you legitimately make it for yourself and later transfer or sell it, that's ok.
The way it'll go down is you just started to make firearms and you just sold it. Never mind that it was made back in the 1970s, they'll say it was made last week. I know people that have a not-glock glock. They have talked to the police and right now they're ok with it. They agree the way it was made is legal. 20 years from now - who knows.
What you said is what I've heard. You can't intend to make it and then sell it but if you have it for a while and decide to sell it that's fine. It all depends on the political climate of your area and what narrative they're going to go with. The lack of serial number is the tricky part.
I was just responding to a Colin Noir video or such & some of his commenting followers recently concerning them saying they think it is a good idea to answer the door every timd with a gun in hand. Absolutely dangerous & ridiculous -- & not just if law enforcement may be who is or are on the other side of the door, either! At least have the gun holstered or in a pocket!
Only 2A guy I've ever heard dare say there might be an issue with opening the door with a gun in your hand. Respect and thank you
Massad Ayoob was teaching this when John C. was still in short pants but, with respect to accreditation, what matters most is that the information gets out there.
If you feel you need to have tool in hand when going to the door, don’t answer the door. Post up with that tool and call local LEO. If door bursts open, you get to work
Exactly take a defensive position and don’t fall for any russes
Something that might be an interesting video:
How do you drop your gun when challenged by police in such a way to minimize your chances of getting shot? Clearly not having your gun in hand is the best option, but there are possibilities where you have a gun in hand for a Must reason, an officer responds and you want to obey immediately when they start shouting "Drop the gun! Show me your hands!" better then this example.
Unless it's not drop safe (which all modern guns are), drop it like it's hot. A few scratches are better than you getting shot.
After dropping the gun, assuming your hands were at your side, the most important thing: do not bring your hands forward. Simply rotate them to display your empty palms. Also, don't make any sudden or fast movements.
If we’re being honest, if it’s gotten to this point, you’re probably getting shot (probably multiple times). Most police (probably most gun owners in general) are not well trained enough to handle a situation like that without squeezing a shot or two (or an entire mag…) off from fear of being shot by you. And then they will be immune to legal recourse of any kind due to it being declared a justified shooting and having qualified immunity and then your wife and kids will end up living hard lives.
No knock/ no identification. Gun in hand. .. no risk is no answer. Or look out different window
As a former manual machinist I may have one of them because I wanted the challenge of actually doing the machine work to get it right.
I don't answer the door with a firearm. I answer the door with a chihuahua under one arm and a pit on a leash in the other.... by the time anyone can get through them I can be armed and ready to fight back....
If a home invader had a 9 they could easily handle your pit.
@@DrSkrungle yes. And he would very loudly announce his location and intentions. He would also be delayed in an entry attempt. Before a person gets past the gate I know that they are coming to the house. They still have the long walk up the driveway to do. I know who is on the porch and how many people there are with plenty of time to make decisions. The pit and his 2 companions are very noisy alarms. As a pit he scares most people that they just leave the flyers on the gate.
A good dog is not a defensive item, they are simply something to alert early, giving time to make assessments and that time will give me lots of options.
Cameras are WAY WAY less than $100
Wyze cameras are cheap (but the monitoring recently got a pay wall)
Or you could get a $15 raspi cam for the raspberry pi. Which is a $50ish computer... We are in the future
a wyzecam is only $25
"at least put the gun behind your back" - or even better have the pistol behind the door already ready to go and don't open the door all the way. Most doors aren't going to stop a bullet very well and that works in both directions. Right handed and the hinges of your door are on the left? change that. put the hinges on the right side of the door.
First you had the whole “nobody needs to carry a spare magazine and capacity isn’t important” crap. Now this. Please stick to your crime video analysis videos.
You can choose to take the info and apply it as best you can. But I’ll continue to run my channel as I see fit
