A few things- during normal rule of law- make sure you are not a 'willing participant ' (legal requirement in Minnesota, FYI), don't ever 'shoot to kill', but rather, shoot to stop the threat, warning shots can be a felony in many states (know your laws), be the first to call the police and include 'my life was in danger', he gave me no other choice', and finally, if the situation allows for verbal interaction, always command loudly, aggressively and with purpose. I was taught to yell, ' STOP PUH-LEEZE'. What your actually saying is stop, please. The bad guy just might think you're yelling, stop, police (depending on how you've practiced the annunciation). This may deescalate into surrender (which is always preferable). Also, you're NOT required to give first aid. It's better to ask for an ambulance. And finally (again)- SHUT THE HELL UP. don't answer any questions when the cops come. Your only statement should be what you reported on the 911 call. Ask for an attorney. The cops aren't your friends.
Your information is SPOT ON!!!!! Even in the BEST of times, ANY conversation you have with any member of law enforcement MUST be guarded and as BRIEF as possible! Even at an ordinary traffic stop, if the officer asks if he/she can look in your car, DO NOT LET THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! You ALWAYS tell the officer this: "I do not consent to searches."
SHTF I'm am NOT bound by any idiotic rules of engagement. I'm to advanced in age to get into fist fights, so if it comes to that it's turning into a gun fight. I think you have forgotten what stupid ROEs cost us in casualties.
Gentlemen that's a great point. When we did training scenarios, the scenario was a police officer is in the room getting beat up by a bad guy. An older police officer would run in and the first thing he would do with his weapon drawn is just start shooting the bad guy. The older police officer knew enough and had seen enough to know that the time for talking had ended and it was just time for action.
WickedSensation if we are only talking about WROL, then I agree, there'd be no such thing as fist fights. ROE will be determined on a case by case basis, by me.
I'm with you there, to a certain degree... I can't agree with physical contact, once you've shown them your weapon. I'm not gonna stand there, with a gun in hand, and start shoving someone. If I can shove them back, they got too close in the first place. Sure, first stand and show, then warn, then brandish, and next step is shoot to kill. There is no "risk your weapon in a physical shoving contest" in there for me.
Yep I don't recognize the UN OR NATO or any international laws of war. When the SHTF all be sitting a ways off with my lapua & if I deem someone a threat I'll drop the hammer on them.
You probably just saved someone's life in the future. I often see 'hot heads' out there during this time of peace. Recommend staying away from anyone who lacks control over their emotions. They are 'loose canons', and when under the extreme stress of WROL, I fear they may be very dangerous to all.
A good resource to check with for the use of force continuum is your local law enforcement training academy. Many of these academy's (increasingly in today's societal unrest) will allow you as a civilian to go though an abbreviated version of the actual course police officers take, and then give you real life scenarios to play out with trained aggressors.
Thanks SP1, I'd never heard of those steps. I own no weapon (I live in Santa Monica, CA and I believe it's very difficult to be approved for a weapon here but I could be wrong). I appreciate the steps as I didn't even know about soft body parts versus collar bone versus eyes, etc. I believe most people pray they never have to apply this knowledge, but it's good to know, just in case. Thank you.
I was also part of the tip of the spear in 03. USMC. We stayed within a mile of the grunts and one thing I learned was after a few months, the locals got immune to us pointing weapons at them. So one of the fellow farm boys grabbed a pick handle, slung it over his shoulder and started walking towards them. The locals were pretty sure we would not shoot them for harassing us. But had no doubt would beat the hell out of them with a stick. They started to run and scream. So if you find afterwhile that your firearm isn't doing the trick, shoulder the weapon and grab something such as a bat or a large pic handle.
This is avery difficult subject for me, sir. I have been in two situations where I have had to draw my firearm; once as a security guard, and the second time when a person I wanted nothing to do with attempted to open my car door to continue a confrontation I was attempting to get away from. THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS KEEP MY DOORS LOCKED! When this person attempted to open my car door to get to me, I simply raised my gun where he could see it. He stopped immediately and walked away. In a former church my wife and I attended, the Head Elder, who has had NO firearms training carries a concealed gun into the Church on a regular basis. When the Pastor confronted him about this, the Elder responded with these EXACT words: "If someone causes trouble, I want to be able to take them out." This man is the LAST person who should be armed, IMHO! The potential lawsuit facing this church is off the charts! It is one of the reasons my wife and I LEFT that Church! In this Elder's mind, his gun is his FIRST go to, rather than his LAST. In my opinion, that man is EXTREMELY dangerous, and someone to be avoided at all costs!
This is excellent advice that doesn't get touched on enough in the prepper community. An excellent court case to look at for Use of Force is Graham vs Connor. I just feel bad for people who live in really liberal states who self-defense laws protect the criminal more than the good guy. :)
Hard topic this one is...This is my area of expertise. Shoot --No shoot scenarios. I've taught this many times to classes. To be honest.. Sometimes the ROE go right out the window. There is not always a 100% correct way to do this. I have to side with some of the commentary here. In a WROL situation, everyone is going to be in a hyper sensitive state of being. Whereas acting to quickly could end your life, and acting not quick enough will surely do the same. I think in a WROL, avoidance will be our best bet. And if avoidance is not possible at some point, I have to lean toward acting first, whereas sooner may be better than later.
I totally agree. If I'm at the point where I've drawn my weapon it's not to give verbal warning. In a wrol situation, with my family in mind, there won't be any hesitation or compassion.
Yep makes perfect sense.. deadly force should be the last resort unless there is an eminent treat to your life.. #Rules of engagement ... Some people dont understand this tsk tsk tsk
Sonny Puzikas has a great interview about the philosophy behind this - Gospel of Violence. You have to have a range of options. Things like cameras, visibility, and noise are definitely a great start and prevent a lot of violence before it even starts. 100% agree. We had a really agressive guy come to our front door about a week ago. He looked at our camera after some aggression on our door and just *froze* ... turned around and took off FAST. Haven't seen him since. I know this is just the beginning though. Much worse is coming.
Good observation on your part. I have a FAKE camera looking down on our front porch, and the few times undesirables HAVE been on my property, all I did was point at the "Camera", and they left.
Bruce Forster Heh well this was a real camera thankfully and so I didn't have to go out there, and was able to see this through the camera. You can get real cameras online that aren't the BS China hackable ones refurb for around 35$. About as easy to set up as any other wireless device in your house.
Ahh! The joys of living remote! We don't get a lot of people up here on the mountain. If we ever do have uninvited guests, I can assure you that I won't get within shoving range unless things really go downhill quickly.
I met a guy at the cincy prepper expo that is going to help me organise a group in my area. Would like to host self defence training and other related stuff in my area. Finding it harder than I thought it would be to get involved with like minded people through UA-cam or other social media. Good info btw
Have you tried "Meetup"? There are lots of groups all over the country that are focused on all aspects of preparedness, some better than others, but it's a place to look. You can search by "interests" and likely find a group near you.
+37South No, not a forum. People start groups for a monthly fee, the ones I have been in don't pass fees onto anyone that joins the group. The admin usually sets up actual meetings. Some groups do classes...I used to do some classes myself. You can Google it and go to the site to find out more, it doesn't cost anything to check it out. And you don't have to sign in to search for groups.
logical. "stand & be seen" body language speaks volumes. if you're going to yell/speak, get mentally psyched so you speak with authority. might be all you need if you can successfully psychologically overwhelm your adversary.
So this doesn't apply to a Latino person VS a Chinese Mob ??? You are absolutely right though... When faced with an angry mob, unzipping and showing your weapon - and the resulting laughter - could potentially deescalate a situation.... LOL J/K... Great vid... Thanks for sharing....
Thanks for the reply,of course your son comes first and i hope he stays safe wherever he is. I know a lot of us are looking forward to watching and learning about the nuke threat and what we can do if we're not killed by the blast. Thank you for all your vids.
~Excellent list, SouthernPrepper1. People have to have a quick mental checklist, when faced with the possibility of using deadly force. ... SP1 has several videos about Conflicted the Survival Game, a game that reveals values. ... Someone that would resort to killing, as the first solution for problems, might not be a suitable member of the group.
You go thru your list as someone's pressing the attack. Me, I'll use force, then go thru my "clean up the crime scene... list" and not lose a moments sleep. lol
It may help as well to know body language that could show signs of aggression. Biggest one is hand clapping it means that the person is determined to fight. It may give you a little more time to read the situation.
Tough subject. Most average people aren't trained nor have they been in a physical fight which is something to consider in an escalation of force. They don't want the perp to get to close to them, close enough to strike because maybe the situation warrants that (big guy vs little guy) and the weapon out is all there is between the two. Certainly something to ponder what would you do in given situations. Also how many people are out there? 50? How many bullets you got?
Thank you David for this advice, this video helps clarify the sensible way to use firearms. There are some very unstable people out there who promote gun ownership, (A.Jones I'm looking at YOU). I've heard Jones say he would shoot someone doing doughnuts in their car!
Anyone thought about a potato gun for area denial during a riot? You can make canister projectiles from old calking tubes that split open once fired spreading what ever is inside them like caltrops or other things people would not want to mess with. Rubber bands or duck tape on once end to hold together a split tube and as it leaves the barrel it will catch air and open up sending what ever is inside over a large area.
You could also pack it with a bunch of weed light it on fire so the resulting smoke would make everybody feel lazy and run to the local store for munchies.
Authoritatively but not to close the distance like a sociopath or someone deceiving them would. More like a dog would, "this is my spot, my spot, my spot, my spot, GO, GO, GO, GO, MY SPOT." So their simple pea-sized brains when fight or flight kicks in (and the blood has left) can digest the information and make the right choice. Which is get the hell out. If they choose to stay, then you know they've made their choice, if that makes sense. Or they're confused, which means you need to get back and re-assess.
Chance Paladin well you said "if they're confused." Followed by "get back and re-assess." Unless they go for the draw, in which case you'd need to put them down before they could put you down.
madjack821 It's a whole other scenario that's in the line of "what to do if they're reaching for something, turned around, hands in pockets, hands near pockets, can't see hands, near a car, running for a car..." This hypothetical stuff can go on all day so that's why we talk about one scenario at a time.
In a shtf situation, I am not going to play UFC with some person and strike pressure points, hoping I win or risking a disarm. If they do not heed the warning of an armed person, why risk going toe to toe? Thanks for the video though!
I'd only bother with muscle strikes if I knew I had multiple people to help back me up. Otherwise it would be straight to the ribs, knees, collar bones and head if I was using a baton. As far as firearms go, only draw if you are willing to shoot. This doesn't mean you HAVE to shoot, but that it has gotten to the point that if a gun pointed in their face doesn't stop them, then nothing else (other that the following slugs of lead) will.
People that don't have or don't want to use a gun, should keep WASP Spray handy, it will reach 12-20 feet and a hit in the face will put someone on the run.
Very familiar with ammonia. A food plant I worked security at when in school (decades ago) used it for a refrigerant for their huge coolers. There was a bad leak... you can guess the rest. Stupid place had oxygen masks with the rubber so depleted they were useless.
This reminds me of the movie, Braveheart...when the uncle told the boy (braveheart) first you learn to use THIS (his brain) and THEN you can learn to use THIS (the sword). it's a great little scene.
And, as of Nov 1st reports are saying Turkey is nearing Russia's Red Line in Allepo. They're 10 miles away with heavy armor. Tanks and the likes, where are they going and what is the United States doing in Iraq with our military trying to take back Mosul.....not far from Allepo and the real fighting. It's easy to see "what if's" and do I think WWIII is on the horizon? I don't know but things are getting distinctly tender.
Ummmmm, prep, Hummmmm, war is coming! Uuummmmmmm, yeah! Hummmmmmm, Ohh! Uuuummmmmm ?, Ummmmmmm! Ummmmmmmm. LOL! Sorry, had to do it. I watch all your videos lol.
Sookie 1X I've heard about that lol but I live in the bad part of my city. And I know as soon as shtf these thugs are going to raid and kill for food water and what ever else they didn't stock up on to keep them and their family alive. So Im not sure how effective the spray would work on bullets lol. But it is better than nothing.

Ron White said it best, you have the right to remain silent. but many don't have the ability!
GOOD POINT!
Well said my friend, great stuff!
good advice and tips.
Great info. No need to be trigger happy but realize all steps may be compressed into seconds. Thanks again for all the info you put out.

These type of videos are when you are at your best! The salesman, not so much!!! Thank you, great useful info!!!
I am an old lady and can't give or take a beating. Thats why I have a gun.

roseinthepines thanks for that info
Good reminders of my previous training.
Are you ever going to continue the 'story' videos? They teach a lot, too.
I would suggest you go to a local attorney and have them explain to you what self defense is in your jurisdiction.
logical. "stand & be seen" body language speaks volumes. if you're going to yell/speak, get mentally psyched so you speak with authority. might be all you need if you can successfully psychologically overwhelm your adversary.
If you're going to engage, you better be in shape to engage both physically and financially.

u should make a video on that, a preppers mind to survive.
Hay SP1 where's the nuke vids you promised?
They are coming. Son was here for about 10 days and spent all my time with him. He is gone now so I will get back in the saddle.
+southernprepper1 Thanks
Thanks for the reply,of course your son comes first and i hope he stays safe wherever he is.
I know a lot of us are looking forward to watching and learning about the nuke threat and what we can do if we're not killed by the blast.
Thank you for all your vids.
lol

Anyone thought about a potato gun for area denial during a riot? You can make canister projectiles from old calking tubes that split open once fired spreading what ever is inside them like caltrops or other things people would not want to mess with. Rubber bands or duck tape on once end to hold together a split tube and as it leaves the barrel it will catch air and open up sending what ever is inside over a large area.
You could also pack it with a bunch of weed light it on fire so the resulting smoke would make everybody feel lazy and run to the local store for munchies.
Before you shoot to kill, would you shoot to harm or disable, but not to kill?
When you shout, I'm assuming you mean make them think that if they don't back off, your gonna kill them?
Authoritatively but not to close the distance like a sociopath or someone deceiving them would. More like a dog would, "this is my spot, my spot, my spot, my spot, GO, GO, GO, GO, MY SPOT." So their simple pea-sized brains when fight or flight kicks in (and the blood has left) can digest the information and make the right choice. Which is get the hell out.

madjack821 no I was answering your question that I had thought you asked.
Chance Paladin well you said "if they're confused." Followed by "get back and re-assess." Unless they go for the draw, in which case you'd need to put them down before they could put you down.
madjack821 It's a whole other scenario that's in the line of "what to do if they're reaching for something, turned around, hands in pockets, hands near pockets, can't see hands, near a car, running for a car..."

Hey southernprepper1, how much land are you buying?

Are there any good books to read about nuclear preparations?
I'd only bother with muscle strikes if I knew I had multiple people to help back me up. Otherwise it would be straight to the ribs, knees, collar bones and head if I was using a baton. As far as firearms go, only draw if you are willing to shoot. This doesn't mean you HAVE to shoot, but that it has gotten to the point that if a gun pointed in their face doesn't stop them, then nothing else (other that the following slugs of lead) will.
that's why I stay indoors before I go off and hurt somebody, and end up in the Klink!
Always good to know your strengths and weaknesses (no insult implied). That said, when they are coming through the door, it's game on, right?
Right on ...Lol
People that don't have or don't want to use a gun, should keep WASP Spray handy, it will reach 12-20 feet and a hit in the face will put someone on the run.
Plus some brands are flammable. *Inside voice... inside voice*
Very familiar with ammonia. A food plant I worked security at when in school (decades ago) used it for a refrigerant for their huge coolers. There was a bad leak... you can guess the rest. Stupid place had oxygen masks with the rubber so depleted they were useless.

wasp spray that shoots 20-30 feet is a good item to keep close at hand. its not deadly force but, it will damn sure cause an attitude adjustment
Sookie 1X I've heard about that lol but I live in the bad part of my city. And I know as soon as shtf these thugs are going to raid and kill for food water and what ever else they didn't stock up on to keep them and their family alive. So Im not sure how effective the spray would work on bullets lol. But it is better than nothing.
speed bump

after the elections erupt in civil unrest I fear it goes from 1 to 10 without so much as a blinking of the eye - shoot-to-kill
Hard topic this one is...This is my area of expertise. Shoot --No shoot scenarios. I've taught this many times to classes. To be honest.. Sometimes the ROE go right out the window. There is not always a 100% correct way to do this. I have to side with some of the commentary here. In a WROL situation, everyone is going to be in a hyper sensitive state of being. Whereas acting to quickly could end your life, and acting not quick enough will surely do the same. I think in a WROL, avoidance will be our best bet. And if avoidance is not possible at some point, I have to lean toward acting first, whereas sooner may be better than later.
