You should do more of these. It's a big addition to your coverage to hear from real-world people in real-world cases of self-defense.
A few years ago, a guy in my town ended up shooting a teenage home intruder with his 270 win. bolt action hunting rifle. he had a ton of money after suing his ex wife a few months prior. Ended up hiring the best attorney and didn't serve any time. Good news.
The fact he even had to get attorney because the prosecutor pressed charges is not a win...
@@AroundSun in every self defense situation they will try to prosecute you...
Shouldn’t have had to anyways with no lawyer. Sad how self defense is demonized.
@@bigjon576 - Would you prefer that claiming self defense prevents all prosecution? Anyone could kill anybody and get away with it by claiming self defense. Currently prosecutors have discretion as to how far to go with investigation and whether to pursue charges. In many jurisdictions grand jury makes charging decision after prosecutor brings case. Thus sometimes self defense claim is as far as a case goes. I have no statistics, but given how few prosecutions we hear about and the annual 500k-3M DGUs in US I’m guessing most are not prosecuted.
@@finngamesknudson1457 no, even after they investigate and show 100% proof that it was self they would still try to prosecute you and charge you and put you in prison...
Awesome interview with Scott & Amy! An excellent example of how to deal with an unfortunate situation.
Desantis put a warning out just a few weeks ago lol. Training is always a good thing. Practice is another good thing. Laser training I think is a great thing. The first round is the most important one.
1st guy keeps calling the criminals "gentleman". I'm Southern² and that might be more courtesy than I could manage towards those alleged human beings.😂🤣
Hey Kevin and Tom, great video as always. I was wondering: Could you put together a video with some statistics on self defense incidents? I had a friend get robbed at gunpoint a couple weeks ago. I seem to remember one or both of you talking about the statistics of complying with an assailant, but I don’t remember the specifics (my friend was unarmed and complied - she escaped unharmed). A video detailing information like this would be very informative. Thanks!
Thank God he came through this okay. I respect his restraint. He did everything right. Stay safe
At 9:24, thank you to the attorney for making that point of invited in.
Yeah, seems like it's obvious that they were invited in to pay for a ride, not to rob and assault, but I guess that's not a legitimate distinction.
Yeah but surely the fact they were invited in as customers and turned out to be robbers would have some bearing on the case. The criminals misrepresented themselves
@Kevin: 1st, it’s just SO refreshing to know and see/hear LEOs like you out there (yes you have a job to do, but to do it with the lil person in mind is phenomenal)! I also Know most LEOs are good ppl that being said, I’ve had my share (in my 51 yr life) of encounters of the worst sort of LEOs! There’s a huge diff between doing your job (having a bad day etc) and those with the power trip/chip on their shoulders (they DON’T deserve to wear the badge! The other issue is lack of training, both practical & legal). SADLY most LEOs don’t even know the laws they are tasked w upholding (NEVER ask a LEO about laws or for legal advice)! The good ones are the 5-10 yr veterans who have the street experience, have made Corporal/Sergeant etc. I live in SC, but tyvm for your years of service to the public & the Law Enforcement Communities! Officers like you make the country a better place! Especially the individuals like yourself who go the extra mile to make the general public more aware of what’s truly going on and makes the effort to do something about it!
Awesome interview
This is an exceptional set of interviews. Never wanting to actually have to shoot someone these are very good scenarios to mentally walk through. Let's hope and pray for everyone especially those who break the law and our public servant political leaders who sometimes don't hold them accountable to see the light and do the right things for everyone not just themselves. My opinion
I had the same “did that really just happen” thought in the immediate aftermath of my 1974 gunfight w/armed robbery suspects where a fellow cop was shot & down.
Thank you for another great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the support, Chris.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thank you, this was really informative. I will definitely join as soon as I get my own ccl.
I wish the driver story had a happier ending with him eliminating the threat to future victims, but glad he's ok.
Excellent video. Nerves of steel. Great decision making. Fantastic example. May never have to use his gun again for defense.
I’ve been a Gun person my entire life and thought I understood how defend myself with a hand gun. I merely took my first class for something to do. I remember leaving my class realizing I had no idea how much I didn’t know and my knowledge has grown with each class taken.
Having a gun isn’t the answer, it’s only part of the equation. The answers come when you get the training
*USCCA* Bravo well done, thank-you for taking the time to bring us this story. God Bless. ((Member))
Stop saying "The gentleman" this and the gentleman that. Cal it what it is: The one criminal and the other criminal.
Can't say that if they have not been convicted. Legal, civility and UA-cam protocols. Don't want to go down to their level. My opinion
@@mmctest so many people on this website decide they can shoot a criminal just any old criminal any old time it's the second amendment you know. The difficulty with that kind of thinking is you're not viewing the actions that are going on you're labeling somebody a Target criminal. If more people had a mindset that they were shooting a person and less of a mindset that they were shooting something less than a person a criminal we'd have way less concealed carry owners on their way to prison.
@@mmctest I don't understand that logic. If someone robs a store and doesn't get caught or convicted in court, they're not criminals? Especially if caught on video? The definition of a criminal is someone who commits a crime, aka criminal or lawbreaker.
He's just showing that he has the class and civility to show respect to the other parties even if they don't deserve it or reciprocate it themselves. That doesn't take away from the reality that he was about to knock their heads off if they hadn't stopped what they were doing and ran.
They looked young and if they were hardened criminals, they would've been armed and killed him as soon as he started struggling. Hopefully this experience scared them straight.
@@BM-wf8jj I saw two guys robbing a kid with down syndrome that was running a newspaper stand. I smacked one of them right behind the ear and down he went and the other one ran away
I just renewed my annual subscription to my Elite Membership. :-)
How sad that the cops in the Uber case took his guns from him?
I was shot at in Hall County Georgia. Those officers were awesome. Very professional and friendly. Huge 2A supporters and also of me defending myself if necessary. Not only was I open carrying, but I had been out shooting with my kids. I had two guns and about 400 rounds left in the truck. They never once even acted like they wanted to disarm me. They were very comfortable with another good guy being armed. I guess it pays to live in a pro-2A state.
It's good to see that you had a positive interaction with them, and also good to see that you didn't get hurt.
An unarmed citizen cannot protect themselves nor their own families but an Armed citizen can protect themselves and their families ◼️
The first guy - the thing he should do differently is not keeping the gun in the door. The moment the criminal opened the door, he couldn’t immediately get to the gun. His gun was literally taken away from him simply due to the door being opened. Keeping the doors locked isn’t really an option if you’re working as a ride share driver. Also, it should always be in a holster. There are many options for almost all situations.
The criminal was intent on getting the driver out so he could steal the car. The thought of a gun in the door was most likely the furthest thought from his mind.
OBC -- On Body Carry
Won't train anyone who intends off body. Yes, I've upset some ladies by saying no here's your check back.
I don't carry a gun to take a life. I carry a gun to save a life and my legacy. I just need to come home to my children. But you don't take a life if you don't have to I would rather produce a weapon and hopefully everybody scatters. But you have to know the law and where your rights fall. Just to protect yourself. And that's where the system fails us!
"Go slow, take your time, and get your hits. And it'll be the fastest thing he's ever seen in his life."
Wow.
Protect your self
If your already a member your can't enter the gun give away?. I've been a member for about 5 years now. Luckily I haven't had to ever use my weapon in self defense.. Thank you for all of your videos.. Keep up the great work
The legal system is unpredictable. Local LEOs are not your enemy OR your friend. They have no charter to Protect and Serve. It has been documented by the Supreme Court. It is only a stenciled marketing slogan on the cruiser. Fact check that if you did not know that...don't forget. You NEED a lawyer not an attitude.
A holster from Sam Andrews in Florida called a carjacker. It's a crossdraw set up so the gun is horizontal. Great for carrying while driving.
Unless you're left handed
Better to Judge by 12 to be carried by 6
😂I've been very fortunate civi side, they just ran seriel, make, model and handed it back after it came clean. 3 pistols in po-po reports.🤣 Not looking forward to dealing with woke soy police.
At 6:40, in California with CCW you cannot have the gun on the door panel it has to be on you according to CCW class.
And that’s why only idiots live in Commiefornia
The first story, he did everything right and still needed an attorney, just how corrupt is the legal system?
I can think of a lot he did wrong: off body carry, no holster, safety off, made a statement to the police without counsel, gave key evidence to the police without consulting counsel...
@@Matticus289 Thank you for the reply
I will usually go to Open Range Sports at least once a month for Advanced Pistol sessions.
I have a question and an idea for a video idea specifically for the attorney he has on in some videos. I personally like to carry a revolver for ccw for a multitude of reasons. From living in a big city, I have noticed after a shooting the police will use chalk to circle the spent casings on the ground for evidence and to help them interpret what happened. Since revolvers do not eject shell casings after firing each round. God forbid I have to defend myself will it complicate the investigation not having casings on the ground or will it presume as guilty like I am hiding the casings for a reason?
Thanks, Love to hear what others think
No, but this line of questions is VERY important if you own a firearm. As soon as they see the caliber and the firearm, they'll know that you're not trying to hide anything. It's just the way a revolver functions. I also carry a revolver. Don't worry about it
For the record, BJ just won championship #8. 😉
I'm a member, but come on. That last one...."then it hit me. I remembered I had this membership"
And any Castle Doctrine should provide lawful self defense, even if a person is invited into a car or home , the criminal's violated your rights , that's a win for the criminal's.
How does castle doctrine NOT apply? So he "invited" them in, once they instigate their robbery then that "legal protection" for the thugs should immediately end.
Without his dash video, the punks could have easily accused him of robbing them. Then it's just who do the police want to believe.
Sounds like you've got a misunderstanding of what exactly Castle Doctrine is. I recommend all of the videos that this channel has on the topic
How do you win the free gun it keeps asking me to sign up and pay???
The last story, the judge and police needs to be held accountable. Arresting law abiding citizen while being lenient on criminals
It’s Typical when prosecutors defend criminals and want to charge law abiding citizens.
What bothers me is the thought of the criminals retaliating for stopping them from robbing me. The way the law is structured gives the advantage to criminals, because I believe once the intent to commit the crime and/or harm me is created as proven in the video; that should give law abiding citizens the privilege to neutralize the threat without worrying about going through legal hell for surviving. Just a thought!
@@jcfindley380 granted! Safe to say we simply play show & tell with violent criminals hoping they backdown as an effort to preserve their lives and avoid legal persecutions. Then pray for this violent criminal’s next victim as said criminal will be better prepared and more likely to kill their next victim in order to take what they believe they’re entitled to. Am I understanding you correctly?
What about a chest carry rig instead of a waist carry holster for vehicle use? Anyone out there have any thoughts or experience?
Yes. Chest rig is SUPER effective for driving. If you look at some special forces, they have their pistol sidearm high on their body. I advocate this if you're not planning on your long firearm going down
@@elijahparker7655 x What do you mean by “your long gun going down?” Are you referring to single sling carrying gun in front of your body?
You are right that it is important to check gear configuration with everything in place. Amazing how certain items interfere with each other. This is part of why officers tend to use drop (or thigh) holsters and SF use chest rigs - because standard (or high-ride concealed carry) hip holsters don’t work with body armor. Officers tend to stick with 3-o’clock carry because it is unobtrusive versus chest rig looking too military and upsetting ordinary citizens.
@@finngamesknudson1457 I mean the rifle being disabled. I realize I misworded it. Chest carry it very effective if your long gun DOES go down (inoperable.)
@@elijahparker7655 - Thank you for clarifying. In retrospect your meaning was obvious. Sometimes I’m just blind...
Definitely want sidearm readily available if you need it.
@@finngamesknudson1457 lol no you're totally cool
Amazing marketing honestly 200IQ move😂😂😂
If you shop where these kind of guys might show up, you definitely need to carry!
did that first guy really pretend his phone was a gun
Wait! As a ride share driver the castle doctrine doesn't apply because they are invited in?? That's pretty messed up.
I don't think she is correct in this case because the criminals presented themselves to be passengers and the ride wouldn't have been offered to them had they presented themselves as criminals.
I don’t think the lyft driver should keep calling these dirtbags gentlemen,.. They certainly are not!…
Did they catch the Car Jackers?
I've had incidents where police were aggressive upon arrival. Now if you can't speak to the police about what happened some officer's can get irritated ( So why did you call if you can't give us information) that's tricky and tactical.And so even if you call an attorney,the police really get nothing to go on . Was it nessassary to call the police in Scotts situation, He had his sim card to back his clam.
🤣"...back his clam" We know what you meant, I'm still enjoying the laugh 😂Totally unhinged my thoughts on your comment.
Okay, back to not laughing while trying to type. Remember, even being your neighbor, doing work means I am not your buddy still. Always give only technical information to officers, then get counsel. Nothing more, we're trained to keep you gabbing your life away. Two edge sword Lady Justice has. Scott's story is tame, scary af when you're in that time though. He did hit on something that should be addressed----crap, have to find it
About 4 1/2 minute in, he speaks of mobility. Being able to draw and hit *ALL THE TIME* even at oddball angles does matter. Car hits park, belt either went off or is in the process (yea, mom still hates how quick I am about that. Reasons I'm not going to talk to her about). The other part of mobility is being off hand capable. Even with a SERPA sportster I can draw it off hand and engage. Slow af though
Absolutely necessary that he call police. If he had not, those two would have done one of two things; they could have called to report crazy lyft driver who pulled a gun on them (and they barely escaped) or they would have continued their plan calling on other lyft or Uber drivers.
In fact any bystander could easily have called cops with their own version of what they’d seen. In this case, as in case of attackers calling first, cops would have been looking for defender - pissed they had to look for him and aggressive because their assumption is that he’s armed and dangerous. After you call they’ll be a bit suspicious but assumption is that you are the victim in need of assistance.
@@finngamesknudson1457 I'm just saying , he had it on Camara , in today's justice by calling the police he could have incremeanated himself even giving a little information to police, now he has to call his lawyer because he is unsure what will happen next. He may end up in trouble for the way he handled the situation, how many peop would have elected to not call in fear of wrong doing even if they were victims. I'd say a lot of people would !
Off body carry is worthless unless you have two guns.
Off body carry is off body carry regardless of how many guns you have
Maybe I’m wrong in thinking this but why was it necessary to call the cops? It seems like you beat the threat and calling the cops would put you at risk of legal repercussions.
Because of the possibility that the thugs would call 911 first, and then law enforcement enters the situation with only their side of the story, i.e. "We we're just getting an Uber ride and the driver went crazy, pointed a gun at us, and called us racial slurs!"
If that's all that the police hears, then they have to assume that the defender was actually the instigator of the situation, and criminally liable for his actions. You want to be the first to call 911 so it's clear from the beginning who the victim is.
Should he have had to turn his weapons over?
My carry gun is a chrome plated Ruger SP101 in .357 Magnum with a 2.25 inch pipe. The load is Federal 125 grain JHPs. At close range you wouldn't want to take one of those in the Solar Plexus.
So caught up in how cool your gun and choice of ammo are that your probably going to be the guy we hear about missing the intended target 5 times at 2 yards and getting curb stopped
@@Matticus289 😂😂😂😂curb stomped is crazy 🎃
Very misleading. If he had discharged his firearm and or hit a thug, the Interrogation will not have been so "cordial". Anything you say CAN & WILL be used against you in front of a jury.
Did the police ever catch the 2 losers from the LyftShare? Since the POS SUS dropped his keys in the car.
Aaron Rogers?
So the attorney says wait to talk to an attorney I guess what until the bad guys have gotten away or gone in carjacked somebody else? Was she going to pick up the phone at 2:00 in the morning?
That's why uscca coverage is so important. 24/7 emergency response. We're directed to call immediately after calling police
In California Castle doctrine does not extend to your car
What idiot still lives in Commiefornia
@@justpray365 40 million.
The man in the first video did everything right and still had to get a lawyer, whats with that?
@@rodvan-zeller6360 Can't see what Corn Pop said. Still the reason you get a lawyer is to keep your ass out of the klink. You say one wrong thing to an officer and the DA is constipated you end up in bracelets. Seriously, only basic *_KNOWN_* information, then get counsel. Do not let them bait you into talking/running your gums/chewing the fat. 😂Been on both sides, it's amazing how some people love to talk. Get their ass in a sling that they're making for themselves.
Oh 👍for enlightening us on CA law
@@ScrappyXGC A normal involuntary reaction to the adrenal stress is to talk too much, cops know this and capitalize on it. A cop who is a decent human being would tell him to be quite until the attorney is present.
BJ’s girlfriend tori is a world class shooter in her own right. Why wasn’t she armed?
How much of the $68,500 did he have to pay?
Martial artist
But they were only invited into the car, as customers not as criminals, surely that brings some bearing to the situation 🤷🏼♂️
Invited in... under false pretenses. Invitation revoked. Just my opinion.
Yes the perks misrepresented themselves
USCCA needs to get out of Wisconsin and bring the entire business and staff to the Great Republic of Texas! No where will you have more freedom and like-minded people
He did exactly what he should have. I think killing soneone is an absolute last resort. These guys were no longer a threat as they ran away. If he fired, unfortlualy he would have been in trouble. Right or wrong that’s what would have happened. The good guys really don’t have any rights.
Gentlemen they are not
PUNKS that wear Hoods and Masks are a red flag for me, and their eyes and the Printing. However, I am glad for the survival.
SADLY… politics are a part of life, period! We can’t change that or ignore it! I do my very best to avoid discussing politics as much as humanly possible!! Politics are based on personal opinions and EVERYONE has an opinion (Most ppl won’t listen, won’t rationally discuss, and will never change their mind!) Most political views aren’t even based in facts and are voiced by uneducated individuals, these are the most dangerous political views in the general public (even scarier are the ones that are agenda based and narrative driven, but those are mostly actual Politicians). Most ppl’s political views/opinions are based solely on something they heard someone say or seen on the news (never having researched or educating oneself in the given topic), there will ALWAYS be the “sheep” (90%) of the populace that CAN NOT (or WILL NOT) think for them selves. Everyone’s opinion is correct, “yours are wrong because my opinion is mine and you don’t know what your talking about…!”
This is the true problem we face as (the 10%) free thinking individuals. As ppl who can think for themselves, who question what’s going on, what we’re being told by the news & the government, and ppl in general. We educate ourselves (knowledge IS power). We do the research, we train, don’t try to “interpret” what is written PLAINLY for everyone to see, it’s written plainly and needs NO interpretation! {Language evolves… definitions change… words have different meanings NOW than they did 250 yrs ago… Shakespearean plays were “written the way ppl actually spoke at the time”, The Constitution was “written in the way ppl actually spoke at the time” [yes it may include some “legal terms” but legal terms are PLAIN/SIMPLE language once you understand them, and are so for this very reason!] as modern books/movies are written the way we actually speak now}. (If 1,000 ppl read something there will be 1,000 different interpretations of said thing) sad FACT. Each & every person is an individual NO 2 are alike. Our bodies work differently, our chemistry works differently, our minds process things differently, our emotions trigger differently, and our thought processes are governed and altered by our emotions! Politics are a constant and very real part of our everyday lives, all of our life, even as children. It’s in the work place (when you’re maneuvering to place yourself for consideration for that position or that promotion that’s work place politics) It’s in our schools, not just college (in high school all those clicks, the athletes or chess club etc are all governed by a form of politics). The networking you do in your community, or operating a business to build clientele, the church committees, are all forms of politics! It all disgusts me but you can’t get through life w/o being involved in some sort of political group at some level…
Lyft driver would have been dead if those idiots had guns. Nothing can protect anyone from a bad guy with a gun. Not even a good guy with a gun.
The secret to protection isn't having a gun it's getting the training.
Things may have been a little different hadthe driver's door been locked

I feel like he had the right to shoot the the guy poking him if he had the gun in time!! 2 vs 1. I think he is justified????
I think the 3rd scenario is made up. It is an advertisement for the USCCA. If it was real, we would have heard from the actual victim and not an actor.
At 9:30, ignorance of the law is no excuse, the DA would barbecue the self-defender for not knowing that detail.
So these gun giveaways and everything else “ends soon”. Makes you sound like a gimmick/used car salesman. Ya sound cheep.
1st, 31 October 2022
I don’t doubt these real world stories but the way this video is produced honestly is just a distasteful sales pitch.
How about getting more into what the detectives missed, and was found by the attorney, in the 3rd video? Surely there is a way to shed light on that without revealing the identity of those involved?
Facts: He got lucky...no disrespect to him. Verry happy for him. He was very smart to have a dash cam. That in fact was the pivotal evidence that allowed the police to relate and support him with a positive attitude. Good planning. We all need that.
Any time you are sneak attacked, and outnumbered, luck is a wonderful thing.
Just wondering why no safety protocols. #1 idea is CHECK ID before unlocking door. "PLEASE HOLD YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE AGAINST THE CLOSED FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW." DEDICATED DASH CAM ON THAT WINDOW. PURPOSE: ELIMINATE 2 MAJOR ADVANTAGES we hand to bad guys on a silver platter. (Are we totally clueless or what?) ADVANTAGE #1. ELIMINATES THEIR AYSYMETRIC INFORMATION AND ASYMETRIC TACTICAL ADVANTAGE.
ADVANTAGE #2 : REMOVES ANONYMINITY , BAD GUYS ALWAYS THRIVE AND ARE GREATLY EMPOWERED AND EMBOLDENED IN THEIR ANONYMITY. FACT CHECK ALL THAT. IF They have a problem with that? ROLL. Why not use 100 or more horsepower to save you instead of a few foot pounds of lead?
I use the word providence rather than luck. No way I should be alive.
@@ScrappyXGC Same here. But dumb luck it was. The smarter I learn to be the luckier I seem to get.

I not a lawyer but when she said that the criminals was invited into his car….. something isn’t right. So if she went on a first date with a guy she just mean. An offer a ride to drop him at is car an he decided to butt pound her “ rape “ she can’t shoot him dead because she “ invited him “??? To it’s an ambush. They call for a ride an plan to take his car. To me they were not invited in.
