Dave & Ruger did an amazing job on this series of videos. Thanks for such concise, intelligent and well planned advice.

A special person once told me if you can not avoid a bad situation deal with it forcibly. That one statement broke all mental barriers on what I should think to do and what I have to do.

Rugers customer service, firearms pricing, and their outreach through media like this to their customers is absolutely top notch. I am a new owner as of yesterday to a P95 and I am thoroughly impressed with them.

What part of Los angeles do you live in , Sherwood Forest? Please, robbing people to feed thier kids? Get real. Next time an assailant sticks a gun in your face, give him your social worker routine, and see how well it works out for you.

No disrespect but you really don't make any sense. No one "sane" enough is going to rob another person to feed their kids. They will rob others to feed their drug habit, or to "get paid". A sane person down on their luck will most likely rob an establishment, as opposed to a person. They'll go into a supermarket and stuff a steak under their jacket and walk out. Much different than accosting another human being under the cover of darkness with possibly a weapon.

Well said sir. I couldn't agree with you more. They need to have more people like you on you-tube that really teach, and not play. Thank you for your time!

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

I disagree with the part where you said "they will treat you like a victim and don't try to negotiate" not really, some people robbing others to feed their kids. When your children are starving robbing someone becomes more than a crime, more like basic survival. Your tips don't apply to bank robberies to they!?
