Wrong and Right Way to Shoot Someone (Best Defense)

[jaybar415]

Bitch got shot!

[superiorXmind]

Honestly everybody on YouTube should get a life.

[blacknyellow778]

@Canefu you were a security guard at a hospital, douche. jeff stop trolling on youtube man its sad youre 34 get a life bro.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@70scarrestoguy You, sir, are completely right, yet I receive strange satisfaction destroying trolls like CaneFu and more importantly countering dangerous information like someone claiming to be a cop and saying the finger should always be on the trigger. No intelligne discussion with CaneFu is expect / forthcoming.

[70scarrestoguy]

@DeadeyeSteve CaneFu suckered me into an argumentative discussion, so I Googled his user name. I soon realized he's a hateful Troll without a kind word for anybody. Very few if anybody agrees with Canefu, so he must be voting up his own comments. I can understand your satisfaction after busting a Troll, their hateful people spreading their misery like the plague or an STD. Peace out

[65LB]

Stupid is as stupid does

[BassmanSW]

Also not a bad idea to immediately ask for an ambulance when you make the 911 call. When the case goes to court it may help showing you're somewhat compassionate about the bad guy. Remember you stopped a threat, you don't WANT to kill someone. This could go a long way when you're being sued.

[pete5668]

why didn't he just go through the door? That's what I would have done and gone inside to the other side of the building.

[jamgabem]

@chucaxr I hope your in a lethal self defense.

[ChuckaXr]

Why are concealed carry people and other gun nuts always dreaming up (or is it fantasizing??) scenarios? First, there's a nearly 100% chance you will never be in a lethal self defense situation. Second, if by chance you are, it won't be the situation you have dreamed up (or is it fantasizing?) , so most likely you will brain freeze.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@ChuckaXr Hmmm where to start with the stupid is always the question... K, it;s like this: We don't dream them up, we postulate what we would do in the situation which has happened to others. If we don't make mental preparation then we freeze should it happen. It doesn't matter how small the chances are for the whole, for the individual who is involved it's a 100% certainty, idiot. Now go practice standing by doing nothing while your significant other gets gang raped.

[CaneFu]

This guy also shot the girl too quick. I drew my weapon too many times to count during my career and never once had to pull the trigger. YES, pointing a gun at someone does indeed stop them from advancing more than 99% of the time. Once I had a college athlete at a party run at me with a butcher knife in each hand, I drew my weapon, yelled "STOP!" and it was like freeze tag, he somehow stopped in mid stride, not sure how he was able to put the brakes on that quick, but no need to shoot the kid.

[RobPincus]

People who are seriously thinking that you should LEAVE and not report the crime : You are ridiculous and probably shouldn't even be carrying a firearm in public.

Not only is it naive and foolish to think you could "get away with it", it is poor citizenship and ignorant to suggest that you should try to.

[CaneFu]

@RobPincus

"Not only is it naive and foolish to think you could "get away with it, it is poor citizenship and ignorant to suggest that you should try to"

WRONG - Two thirds of all murders go unsolved nationwide - go look up the facts if you don't believe me. That means that 6000 people per year do indeed "get away with it"

You're the ignorant one for not knowing the facts.

[turbofister5000]

@CaneFu sorry, but you're an idiot..and if you get caught after you leave, then you're DEF fucked as that can be viewed as an admission of guilt. all this "info" is coming from people who have never been in the situation or know anyone who has..they listen to their molester uncles tall tales and then jap there jaws..quit trying to get ppl in trouble, douche bag.

[CaneFu]

@turbofister5000

You're another one who has no experience with the criminal justice system, ignores the fact that this type of homicide never gets solved, and doesn't realize that if you are indicted you will lose your home, your career and your family - you do it your way and I'll do it mine.

[krypekeeper]

@CaneFu you watch to much CSI. LOL

[CaneFu]

@krypekeeper

No, YOU do - that's why you think that police can track you down without any evidence whatever.

[r71oats6]

@CaneFu

With all due respect for whatever expertise you might have ... No evidence? Let's start with the bullet, which shooter handled while loading. Many mfgrs send sample ballistic signatures to the state police. Mine does. A forensic pathologist can figure time of death. If you're the business owner or employee who left work at 8 pm, and time of death is 8:15 ... leaving the scene makes you suspect number one.

[turbofister5000]

@CaneFu you're right. no experience. except for the fact that i was involved in a self defense shooting where the guy died and i didn't face any charges..so i have a first hand experience with a situation EXACTLY like this..except he had a gun..so where is your experience with this situation?.go ahead and do it your way..you'd be better off in prison where you can't breed any more fucking retards.

[CaneFu]

@turbofister5000

It's obvious that you are lying. Now quit being a troll and go away.

[turbofister5000]

@CaneFu wish i was man. but im not.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu I bet you feel all that because you can post mouthy shit on youtube, don't you. Your a poser and you've got yer stats wrong, showing you talk out of your ass. According to FBI stats, 62.% of murders are cleared so you are 2/3 likely to get caught. Whose the ignorant one now?

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

62% of the FBI murder cases may be cleared - but they only investigate a small percentage nationwide. Most murder investigations are conducted by local law enforcement and they fail to solve 2/3 of all murder cases. So i guess YOU are the ignorant one.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu NO, idiot, that's the FBI tracking of homicide clearance rates by law enforcement agencies across the nation. IF YOU HAD INVESTIGATED HOMICIDES YOU WOULD KNOW THIS! *** POSER *** Hell, if you had any google-fu you would know this. ++++ PRETENDER ++++

[CaneFu]

@rainstormseattle

That's right - leave if there are NO WITNESSES. What don't you understand about that? This will just be marked down as one of thousands of unsolved killings of a dead junkie. You won't be on the run because they won't know who did it if you don't tell anyone. Are you so caught up in following the rules that you are willing to give up your freedom for it? I am a retired police officer and I am telling you that these kinds of shootings rarely get solved.

[dirtbiker4lfe]

@CaneFu you got to be kidding, you dont think that the persons family will come after you? This is a bunch of bullshit. IF they do catch you you will be charged with homoside AND leaveing the scene.

[CaneFu]

@dirtbiker4lfe

"you don't think that the persons family will come after you?"

Go back and read ALL of my posts - if there were no witnesses to your shooting and you don't tell anyone you did it, how in the hell is his family going to come after you???

Honestly, you people replying to me in here are completely brainwashed to "obey the law", no matter what terrible consequences that very act may hold for you. Read ALL my posts and then think about what I have been saying.

[krypekeeper]

@CaneFu speaking from experience?

[CaneFu]

@krypekeeper

YES, I am a retired police officer and worked on several murder investigations. But if you don't want to hear the truth that's fine. If it makes you feel better to turn yourself in if you ever get into a situation like this then go ahead - it won't inconvenience me any.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu LOL, I just figured it out. You only solved about 33% of your homicides (and from your posts it is obvious why- yer an idiot) so you think this type of crime will never be solved. Don't project your incompetence on others, don't offer advice to flee a justified homicide.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu What you get's you caught is not what you plan for, but what you don't plan for. Your print on the shell casing. Someone recalling your departure from the building moments before the shots. A security camera. A witness you didn't see. What's best; you treating a justified shooting like a crime and running or you treating the justified shooting as a justified shooting? Your advice was retarded in the extreme.

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

Do what you want, I don't care.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu I'm 100% certain I never needed you permission to do want I want. But thank you anyways. Right now I want to show people what a pretender you are, how bad your advice is and continue to illustrate how stupid you are. Is that OK with you as well?

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

And so far you have only shown that you have no idea what you are talking about - good job.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu Obviously

[nofooIn]

I would have asked her out.

[norseleague]

safest bet is to look first before entering potentially dangerous areas..work sfor me....the courts will crucify you and you wind up the "bad" guy-not the perp you just shot-even if the attacker was the next Jeffrey Dalhmer, Ted Bundy or Charles manson....you have way too many dishonest prosecuters...

[slyrader1]

i will shoot to maim and i fear no one

[petroskhan]

@slyrader1 Then you have a pissed off felon, who might come back for revenge. Armed.

[zaran1]

Why try to incapacitate a thief or run away when you can kill the thief?

Someone who dares try to rob you must be killed whenever possible. That's the American way. Money is the most sacred thing here. You want to take my money? You die. Simple.

[netacqouise]

lol shotten by a cop thats make me so angry. :S

[themeleed]

why call 911 after you're in a situation like that? Theres lots of people that like to throw you in prison, even if you acted in self defense.

[CaneFu]

@themeleed

I agree - if there are no witnesses just leave. If you stay you'll be arrested, charged with homicide, sit in jail waiting for a court date, lose your job, owe a lawyer $50K - $100K for defending you, lose your home, & your life will never be the same again even if your case is finally ruled justifiable homicide.

Honestly, until the system becomes more friendly to self-defense shooters, a person is probably better off at the mercy of the criminal rather than the police and courts.

[turbofister5000]

@CaneFu i just sat in a holding cell for a few days..if you leave, THEN you're fucked.

[CaneFu]

@turbofister5000

They could have just as easily kept you for the next 50 years. You're NOT fucked if in a situation like this video there are no one witnesses, no security cameras, & you don't tell anyone you did it. That's the 3 ways that most murders are solved. Law enforcement is not psychic. It's a fact that 2 out of 3 murders go unsolved nationwide. That means that 6000 people per year in the U.S. just walked away after killing someone and got away with murder.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu No idiot, it wasn't just the security cameras. It was the witness you didn't know about. It was the security camera you didn't know about. It was your finger prints on the door knob you tried to open in retreat. It was your finger print on the cases ejected on the ground. A you lie about the numbers. Someplace between 30% and 40% of murders are unsolved, leaving 60% - 70% solved. Don't listen to this nerf-hammer.... useless tool.

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

Any boob should know to pickup their shell casings, wipe their fingerprints off the door knob, and be able to see whether or not anyone was close enough to get a good description. But then, I guess you are dumber than any boob.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu OMG!!! Now you are advocating destroying evidence in a homicide which was justifiable. WHO IS THE BOOB? Running was one thing, possibly survivable. Destroying evidence is what criminals do. You will go to jail for that! DON'T LISTEN TO THIS TURD!!!

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

You're just trolling now.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu Trolling? You skid mark. You are advocating people flee a justified shooting based on a 30% - 40% they killing won't be solved AND advocate destroying evidence virtually guaranteeing they will be be criminal prosecuted. Your an anti-CHL liberal posing as a former LEO.

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

You're just another one of the sheep who has been programmed to obey the rules no matter what. You're not alone - most people are as obedient to the government as you are. The "rules" were set up by crooked politicians & lawyers to keep the masses in line, even though the very people in charge don't follow their own rules. Even in a justified shoot the facts are that you will go to jail, spend your life savings on a lawyer, & possibly lose your home & family.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu You were easy to break (homicide investigator my ass) a few well made observations and you are spouting your any goverment tripe like the good little OWS trash you are. Go crap on another police car. You've been exposed. BTW- the facts are that when you are justified in using deadly force you do not go to jail or become financial ruined If you actually knew anything about shootings you'd know that. Like your 2/3rds of all murders are unsolved- your just flat wrong, again.

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

Again, what part of "I don't care what you think" don't you understand?

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu I understand it fully, you don't seem to get that I don't care that you don't care what I think. I do care about the harm your idiotic and dangerous posts can do. I care about you posing a former LEO. I care about your lieing about the number of unsolved murders. I know you don't... but other's do. Now that you've been thoroughly outed, and thoroughly humilated, close your account and go away you pathetic waste.

[CaneFu]

@DeadeyeSteve

I posted the truth here but you're too stubborn to see it, but no matter because I don't care that you don't care that I don't care what you think. And no, I don't plan to close my account because a boob like you imagines that he is some sort of internet warrior sitting safely behind his keyboard. Go get a life.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@CaneFu Keep talking, "hero." You've been exposed a liar, a troll, a pretender, and idiot. Internet warriors are warts like you with no video and validity. You can come by my channel anytime you want and get an education.

[jsj297]

good video guys, very realistic. Im going to watch the rest of them. thanx for posting!!

[XxairsoftxXify]

Or how abouit it is at 245am i here noise out side #1 put tatical vest on with 2 glock 22's and 4 clips to the glock and my fully charged iphone #2 grab my mossberg 500 #3grab my germen shapperd witch has tranning ..... this is all i need !!!!

[Zardul]

Too bad the only way to defend yourself in court afterwards is to be dead so you can't get put in jail for using excessive force.

[USMCrecruitOORAH]

dudes 6ft tall and a chick is comin at him with a knife....u coulda shot her in the leg and bolted or kick the bitch from a distance....idk if i would just killed her lol she doesnt seem to be much of a threat even with the knife

[2naruto1]

"911 i shot a lady " not the best way to stort a call

[DarthSubith]

MAKE SURE SHE IS DEAD!

1 bullet trough the head is that so hard ?

[elreservista]

Here in my country the law does not allow me to shoot a gun if I get an attack with a knife, but having the weapon would use. Clearly the way of its laws, the victim did not stay on the phone, or take the trouble to keep his gun when the police officer arrived, others that it is exaggerated as the cops always exposed in the U.S. who will mediate the shots almost words.

[bobthebuilder6938]

yeah aaaand i wanted to see if he got in trouble...

[bobthebuilder6938]

wow that officer lady was a real bitch

[1dducks]

how about giving up the wallet?

[CJL1290]

@vinegaroon1 fleeing the scene would only make you a bigger suspect to police. Especially in liberal areas (yeah, liberals suck) And it dosen't really matter weather or not you call 911, with modern day tech, they'll eventually find you. It's best to just end it there.

[manny298]

This video is for morans made by a moran

[trainwreck288]

I have three issues with this better scenario. First, he is putting his gun away as the police shine their lights on him. I would be afraid of getting killed by a trigger-happy officer who thought I was pulling OUT my gun. Second, trying to give your attacker a warning can get you killed. Third, he gave evidence that could be used against him in the call. Say 'somebody's been shot' and shut up until you've talked to a lawyer, especially in a liberal area where you may end up on trial.

[1dducks]

@trainwreck288 agreed." A person has been shot" would suffice.

[DeadeyeSteve]

@trainwreck288 1) Only is time runs backwards would the cop shoot you for having put away your gun. 2) Giving an attacker warning is a sound idea, just not truly a have to do action. Witnesses reporting you warned the knife weilding criminal works to your advantage. Don't do it if it will get you killed. 2) All evidence can be used against you. The truth is he shot the criminal. Stating the same doesn't guarantee prosecution. To use a justification defense you have to admit you shot, duh.

[voodazz]

Man I thought I had lousy luck with women.

[vinegaroon1]

Better to just skip the phone call and be on your merry way. He didn't owe the robber jack. After she pulled the knife, she was on her own. Dude could have been home sipping a cold one.

[leroy592]

@vinegaroon1 Yeah, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. "Flight equals guilt" in a deadly force encounter.

[vinegaroon1]

@leroy592 I hear ya, bro, but in real life, should something like this happen in a dark alley as depicted, no one would know who did the shooting or under what circumstances. If the guy felt sorry for the robber, a call from a pay phone far away from the scene would suffice, not "I shot someone," rather, "I saw someone on the ground behind such-and-such an address," etc. Why should he implicate himself?

[DetroitGlock]

Very good and just what i was looking for, thanks for uploading

[rasputinsdog]

Excellent video, guys! Truly. Well thought out tactics, great presentation.

[leroy592]

That bitch had a bad damn day!

[DerHodenkrebser]

wouldn't it have been enough to shoot her in the leg or something?

[InsanePickle007]

@DerHodenkrebser when you have adrenaline rushing, you wont have time to aim for a leg, you are going to aim for the biggest part of their body.

[DerHodenkrebser]

@InsanePickle007

well that might be right if (s)he had a gun! but with a knife and 10 feet away? come on!

[ManningArmory]

@DerHodenkrebser Maybe..but what do you think she would have done to him? "Whatever the attitude, so is the response." She intended to kill him if she didn't get what she wanted she even stated so. Also being shot in the leg may not necessarily stop an attacker if they are high on drugs such as PCP, then he could have been stabbed. That's how you have to look at it. No one wants to kill anyone but sometimes it must be done...that is just the way things are sadly. :(

[seigheilz88]

Departments have been mandated by the DOJ to lower standards so that spics and boons can get hired. More low IQ cretins on the police force and of course, more "friendly fire" shootings, ie cops shooting each other, and more danger to the public. (Dayton just lowered their hiring standards)

Never call 911. Just walk away. Dealing with cops jacked up on adrenaline is recipe for getting shot.

[happykillmore88]

@seigheilz88 most 'spics' I know probably work harder and are smarter than your entitled pasty white ass.

[seigheilz88]

@happykillmore88 You're obviously upset I couldn't get you a job washing dishes in the kitchen. Probably should kill yourself...but please, before you do...tell your woman to shave next time before she works the bar. Customers told my GM that a "tranny" tried to hit on them. Not cool. Not cool at all. Eww.

Any more "pearls" of wisdom, Gumby?

[ttaylor667]

It won't go against him, if he just shows the judge the first part of this video, it clearly shows that he was acting in self defense.

[KangarusGyrfalcon]

Given the gun control laws here in Australia and thus there are few shooting incidents outside of gang-related activity (I don't know the exact statistics though) there is little perceived need for TV series as this. Nonetheless I found this very educational - not that I'll ever go to the USA but gun rights are looser in New Zealand and a few other nations I may visit in future. Too bad there is no lawful action possible here in Australia other than, "OK, here's my wallet, don't kill me"...

[oracleoracle1911]

This video and the series itself is great. She confronted him with a deadly weapon. He drew his weapon and gave her a warning. She did not back down. That pretty much gave him an indication of her intent. If it was just money she was after, she would have turned and ran. But she remained a threat. That's clear hot to engage in my book. For all of you "don't kill them, just give them your wallet" folks, hopefully you only encounter friendly bad guys that are only after your money. If they decide

[Black70Fastback]

the officer offensively drew on him. i would have shot the officer in self defense too. they are just civilians with uniforms from Cintas

[leroy592]

That bitch had a bad damn day!

[drunkasssteve]

This was pretty ridiculous. But the ending is not bad. Stay armed, stay on the call to 911, and get ready to get on your knees to make the cops feel more comfortable dealing with you.

[Balefulmoon]

@Omoore1979 Yeah, it was. Even less reason to shoot the Marine than the cops might perceive they have for shooting the guy in the vid.

[wadebear1996]

Has Anybody here ever been shot in real life??? cuz if you have youd know the first thing you do is duck behind a car or something not spend 5 mintues counting how far they are and i dont have a peice so yeah thats it you cant really do much just hope the motherfucker doesnt follow you and dude the people who pull a gun on you for your money doesnt want to pull the trigger i.. he wants to take the shit and leave not get a murder charge i know im 14 but i seen some craaazy shit in the past 2 yrs

[demmylowther]

I myself would of waited longer before shooting this person.She has a knife,and is approx.10-12' away,I have a gun with 10-17 rounds.In my opinion this man had a huge advantage and could of held back,or tried to run to the left,or right to get behind a car.If she had a gun,thats another story.Cops shoot too many people then they have to.Pepper spray,taser,the club should be used first.I would do my very best to not have to resort in killing a person.My opinion is not a popular on I'm sure,but .

[Randombeer]

@demmylowther 10 feet is not very far with at 9 inch blade like that

a quick lunge could catch you off guard and by the time you shoot you will have been stabbed

[swa917317]

@jimboslickster I understand what your saying, but is injuring someone really worth the contents of a wallet? If he's hellbent on injuring/killing someone, then he can kiss his arse goodbye, if other well-meaning citizens were well prepared, it would be less of an issue.

[swa917317]

I've carried a conceled snub nose for a long time, but it's always a good idea to have a muggers wallet, something with a few bucks and a few fake credit cards has saved me a lot of hassle a few times, plus I didn't have to kill/injure someone.

[Jimboslickster]

@swa917317 i can understand what you mean about giving them a fake wallet but then think of the aftermath now they basically are free to go do it again to the next person and they may be so upset next time that they decide to make it violent

[lbizzythefire]

@swa917317 nice idea man

[hiredgun30]

Me: operator, there was a woman who just tried to rob me... she stated " etc.", she came at me with the knife raised, in an agressive manner, "i was in fear for my life", so i shot her in self defense, " it was the last thing i could do to save my life" and I wish to press charges......when cops arrive... officer, I am the victim and i want to press charges, I will cooperate fully once i have contacted my lawyer...

[Balefulmoon]

Great idea, drop to the ground so the cops can more easily shoot you in the back like they did that Marine out West.

[G58]

Knife v gun, even in close proximity doesn't necessitate lethal force. If producing the weapon, not acting like victim, but instead taking control of the situation isn't enough to subdue an attacker, especially a woman, discharging the weapon at their feet may not scare the shit out of them, but it would signal your intent to use it. A knife has to be within 3 feet to be a danger. So anyone within one stride of that distance can be effectively stopped with one to the shoulder of the weapon arm.

[leroy592]

@G58 If an assailant is within 20 feet armed with a knife (or other melee weapon) they could close the gap and still beat the person with a gun. A shot to the shoulder may not stop the attack. These are both proven facts.

[G58]

@leroy592 20ft? You can outpace an assailant with a knife at 20 feet. There's a lot of bullshit quoted as "fact". I trained with the Israelis and learned a lot of Chinese techniques. I agree that a 9mm might not stop an assailant in the shoulder, but it would seriously slow down a knife wielding woman.

The primary objective of the robbery attacker with a knife is to score cash and escape, not to do harm. The threat to life is therefore legally dependent upon not having any cash to hand over.

[G58]

I recognise that combat is very different from facing a desperate, possibly high, knife robber in a street situation. But drawing your weapon, shouting the "STOP/BACK OFF OR I'LL FIRE" command should have the right effect. If not, I still maintain that two non lethal rounds could be got off in the time it takes a knife attacker to pose a genuine threat from two paces away. I'm also aware that law enforcement personnel over state the true threat from knives outside the combat effective zone.

[leroy592]

@G58 The robber with the knife's primary goal maybe was to get the money and escape, but you really don't know. The knife wielding robber may stab you for th hell of it. When a weapon is brought into the picture, life was in danger. Lethal force is/was justified.

[G58]

@leroy592 And the dead don't sue, right? I was attacked whilst unarmed by a gang of drug addicts in a foreign city. First I was confronted by a crowd of them, then attacked from behind. At least three of them had knives and the one behind made his move very quickly. All I had a MagLite. Two ended up on the ground and I walked away. The gun culture in the USA cuts both ways. I've also seen combat in the African bush. That street was more dangerous in many ways. But lethal force was not necessary.

[donoraen]

@G58 A warning shot can and has been construed as lethal force in court.

[dualberettas]

Only thing I would add is to get away from the body, she might not be dead and if she attacks you she might stab you or you might get shot by the officer trying to shoot her attacking you...

[leroy592]

To all YouTube viewers watching Best Defense; buy the dvd! I just bought it, I highly recommended it. YouTube only scratches the surface with the videos.  If you buy the dvd, you'll be glad you did, I guarantee it.

[UnidentifiedChannel]

@leroy592 Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

[pinkypimpalicous]

Its just a fuckin knife, shoot her knees out, you pussy.

[WoebringerofDoom]

give the person a "chance" to respond to the officer's commands? does that mean that police don't give any chance to respond? scary!

[RazaAli33]

Girl got owned

[GoTimothy]

The only problem, is the guy was a rapist who just raped with a condom and killed the girl and then he claims the girl tried to rob him and it was self defense. The video is so unrealistic, because there is no way, when criminal points a loaded gun at you, do ever have time to get your own gun out and shoot them, Anyone who thinks they can defend them selves, after someone is already pointing a loaded gun at them, is a total retard.

[UH60Av8er]

Great video!

[mrcharles007]

shot a woman! boy your ass is going to jail..If the bitch pulls a knife out.. you still can run...LOL

[wist0301]

not unless your cornered....then you shoot. my guess is she got tired of suckin dick for coke. XD

[leroy592]

Great video. I would have shot the bitch too. It is important to know how to deal with the law in a situation like that. If you can avoid a situation, by all means avoid it. But if you can't avoid, be able to defend yourself and prove that you are justified.

[firearmsdefense]

It seems that a reasonable thing to do would have been for him to pull his weapon and then say, now look lady, I've got $150 in my wallet. I'll give it to you and you can go away or you can use that knife and get shot. Then he could have given her the money, she goes away and every body is ok. The only problem is things don't happen that way in the real world and you never have time to make anything more than real quick real bad decisions.

[BangSomePoo]

Nice shooting the bitch

[achaney]

umm.. having had a gun pulled on me while living in Chicago on a crowded bus (yeah, that was crazy). It just made better sense to give in and lose a few bucks.

Second. Get real. Unless you've done something to provoke a person they are not going to pull a gun, then threaten, then chase you to shoot. If they want you dead, you will most likely never see it coming. This isn't the movies where the villian reveals his evil plott before killing James Bond giving him time to plot an escape.

It seems like $ 10 in my wallet is worth much more than my assailants life - yeah - i think I'd kill 'em and have someone's blood on my hands. Probably won't do me any psychological damage either.

Why would you just run away or give them the money when you can use a gun? That just seems ridiculous.

Oh - and why not kill the cops and then yourself just to be on the safe side - you can't be too careful these days.

Running away is not always an option, and quite often they want more than just your money. And if someone is pulling a lethal, or potentially lethal weapon on you, you have no choice but to assume they intend to use it.

And you do know that people who legally, that's LEGALLY, carry guns are the most law abiding segment of the population, even more so than police officers.

Go ahead and think it's ridiculous. What would you do if you found yourself in a situation like that?

BTW Both of the men you see on that screen are highly trained former law enforcement and Government guys. Might want to pay attention to what they are saying ;-).

@ILiveInMomsBasement They forget to mention that since no one is around and she is a stranger to the victim, he could just walk away, keep his mouth shut, and let the cops have an unsolved homicide on their hands, when and if someone stumbles across the body, saving himself a lot of hassle and legal bills.
