 with my revolver one day just to kind of test it out and see what what it worked. So I recommend like what's going to happen is if you guys buy a gun you start carrying it you're going to have all these different a drawer full of holsters outside the waistband inside the waistband shoulder holsters, fanny packs, all this kind of stuff. I would never wear a fanny pack though. All right that was actually my segue because one of the things I do want to talk about too is 80% of shootings occur in low light situations. So if we could dim the lights for a second we're going to kick these off. I want to do a little demo and explain some stuff and actually I'm going to have Anthony help me out with this. You want them all? Yeah damn that one too please. There we go perfect. So he's going to be my bad guy and I want us to kind of just get used to the darkness for a second too I explain this. So first off you can see that cool picture that's actually me I was posing for something for a magazine for a catalog but I'm actually doing bad stuff with the gun you never have your gun low like that. I'm also backlit like I'm actually going in and all the lights are on behind me that's bad tactics FYI if anyone's looking at the picture of critiquing and I know that that's for a catalog. But 80% of shootings occur in low light situations. When do predators come out to pray at night? When is someone going to break in your house usually at night? When are people drunk and acting stupid usually at night? So if you have a firearm I highly recommend you have a flashlight a good flashlight with it and you guys have probably seen those big-ass mag lights before or stream lights those big ones you can blind people with you can hit them with it those suck I don't like them. I'm a big fan of these nice small ones and I'll show you guys more in detail when the lights are back on. But what I want to demo with this is just by having a good flashlight a lot of times this is all I have because if I'm out yeah no pictures if I'm out or when I was flying here I can't take a knife with me on an airplane I can't take my gun with me but I can have a flashlight with me and no one is going to think twice about a flashlight if I pepper spray someone in the face and I wasn't justified I can get in trouble if I stun gun someone I should have brought all that stuff I should have pepper spray and stun gun and taser jet I can get in trouble but if you shine someone in the eyes of the flashlight what are they going to do they're going to sound like a bitch if they're whining about that unless it's this flashlight so anyways what I'm going to do is this demo um take actually one step back and pretend that you are a bad guy with a handgun you're pointing it at my head so this is a big problem when I would teach military law enforcement they don't know how to use a flashlight properly so a lot of times they're kind of target fixated and they're looking at the gun and they're shining the flashlight at them but they're not really like shining it right in his eyes and of all of our senses our eyes are really the strongest that's why a lot of martial arts saying there's like if you take the eye you take the body pepper spray you want to hit him in the eyes if you take the eyes out of the fight it's pretty nasty so I'm going to move around and I want you to keep your fingers pointed at me yeah keep a point in my head so if I move he's able to trace me so just by being smart with this flashlight if I shine him in the eyes he can't even see me so when we actually we do advanced training when we're coming in rooms we'd have our flashlights out we'd keep it away from our body and we'd strobe and move around the whole room and this is why I wanted the lights to be off for a second because you guys get acclimated to I'm gonna blind everyone for a second just so you can see what this is like so imagine getting someone's trying to get in your face start a fight you're in a bar or something and they can't see you and this one's really cool too because it has a strobe feature which is even more fucked up lights on so I remember when I was working at my gun range this one guy Ken Good came in he works for the company Surefire if you guys have ever seen those weapon mounted lights on the AR-15s and on the shotguns and all that that's Surefire that's like the best stuff the shotgun light I have is like five six hundred dollars just for the light but it's a special light it's really bright really powerful this is an LED so no bulb to burn out it runs off the three volt lithiums which are the camera batteries so they have a 10-year shelf life so this light is like my oh shit light I keep it next to the bed I maybe keep my pocket if I'm out keep one in my car a lot of my you guys saw me with my bag earlier with my iPad bag I keep one of these in it I'll usually put a knife on the other side but again you got with a flashlight no one's gonna think anything of it this one's nice and small I actually have another one that's even smaller that I carry you to but I want you guys to see this one it's a like I said small easy to carry no one's gonna freak out if you have this I'll tuck it keep it in my back pocket had it out last night with me and then all you got to do is if I'm going somewhere where they're like gonna maybe look for things I'll untuck it put it in my pocket go yeah it's a flashlight and people just think it's like a little mini mag light or something even with the lights on you can see how bright it is pretty awesome but that's why I want you guys to get used to it because at nighttime it doesn't just get dark instantly people get used to the darkest they're in the bar for an hour or two you know how it is when you get up in the middle of the night to go piss and you flip on the light especially if you've been drinking or something you flip on the light you're like oh man like it fucking hurts so imagine be able to do that whenever you want some of these lights like I said are pretty expensive I really like this one it's a stream light protac 2l the other one is a 1l that's usually the one I carry it's just the three volt version this is the six volt version these retail for like 60 70 bucks so they went from being a couple years ago when I was teaching this full-time to 300 for some of the ones I have to now 50 60 bucks the place I used to work at two back in the day is called Arizona tactical and what I'm gonna try to do with them is if any of the guys are here want to order the stuff just google Arizona tactical it's arizona tactical calm and you guys can call them up and just say hey Steve Bravo he shows the flashlights a small black led one and they said they try to give you guys a discount on it I don't know for everyone who's watching this video years from now I don't know if it's going to work for you guys but for everyone in the near future they said they try to hook you up just is something cool to do like I don't get anything back from that so 80% of shootings occur in low light some people have seen those flashlights that go on the guns that mount on the bottom those are nice but the problem is if I hear a noise maybe I don't want to cover that with my muzzle yet maybe I'm not justified in pointing my gun at it yet so instead of pointing my gun at everything and then I turn out it's like a kid or something in the house or some kid in your backyard now I got my fucking gun on them I could go out with my flashlight and be ready if I need to and also they're blinding they don't see anything and like I said when we were doing training to keep it away from your body and they would actually shoot at the flashlight because they can't see you like right here if he couldn't even see me he couldn't fight so you could just blast someone I had some homeless guy come up to me one night acting really squirrely getting up my face wanted some money was drunk on something and I was like dude I don't want to like stay away from me I give me something kept getting close and I zapped him in the eyes with this and he whipped his head back so fast they stumbled and almost fell over just from that and they went what the fuck was that he's freaking out just from fucking shine the flashlight in his eyes so and I don't know if you guys noticed it but when police officers do stops they always kick on their high beams in the spotlight and they blind you that's they're doing that on purpose they walk up they shine the flashlight in your eyes right away or they shine it at like a white piece of paper or something it backlights you same thing they're trying to fuck up your eyes on purpose so that way if they have to get in a fight with you they're already at an advantage the other thing we used to teach was how to create a wall of light so if all these headlights are on eventually I'm going to have to cross this light and I'm going to get backlit like this picture see how you can totally see my silhouette if you're shooting at it well if this is getting shined in your eyes even if I'm backlit you can't see me actually for that picture I had to hold it down because it was too powerful it was too bright for that picture so they would actually stop create a wall of light with their headlights their search lights and all that well then as they're walking in front they get their handhelds out blind you and then they can get right up on your car and they don't you don't even know they're there because they've just it's white light until they're right on top of you but like I said something that you can carry with you all the time is it going to draw any weird looks you can't get in trouble for blinding someone for a second with it a flashlight so knives are fun I love them I got lots this is one of the ones I was carrying for a while I'll show you guys some it's called a karambit and they do all these moves with it we twirl it instead of like a ballet song knife where you flip it around which really is like back in the day they used to try to flip it and hit someone's hand like kind of disarm them or something with it this is actually cool because if I'm trying to like reach someone and I can't make contact with it I gotta be careful I don't cut the screen but you want to reach out you can't cut them I can actually extend it and now I can make contact with it you can also twirl it around and actually get two cuts with one move because it's curved it's actually it's designed where it'll puncture and everything that's gotten there as it cuts out it'll sever any predators teeth and fangs are shaped like this for a reason so I'm a big fan of this knife it's called a karambit I'll talk more about that maybe on the break or something I didn't want to start doing knife training and stuff on the video but I'm a big fan of knives but obviously for defending myself I don't want to get up close and fight with someone and all it takes is one lucky shot and I can be knocked unconscious I obviously always want to have space and have a firearm because that's going to be the best weapon so creating space use a superior weapon if I use a shotgun if I knew I was going to get into the gunfight I don't want to snipe a rifle I don't want to be as far away as possible save as possible never let me see me if I had to be a little closer and someone's coming at me with a knife or a handgun I'd want my shotgun or a rifle if it's even closer maybe a handgun I didn't have enough time to prepare I don't I always want to get into something with the best weapon I have but you always have to balance that out you don't want to be in level orange all the time when you go out and you can't relax that was one of my problems I could never relax I was always the guy at the bar or the restaurant with my friends let's see if I can do it now without making like without laughing but I was always the guy that they're like what's wrong why are you so angry and I was like I'm fine because it's hard for me to do now without even laughing I didn't teach myself how to do it I was really bad I like a stone face all the time but it was because all this training that I did and when I got divorced I was like man I got to learn how to relax and actually act normal and so I don't go out carrying a gun with three mags and all that stuff and I never did that but there's people that do it and they take it that far so you really have to balance this out with your life are you gonna go out always with three guns and four knives and all that stuff if I was going to war how many guns would I carry guess number throw it out there three I'd carry as many as I can as many as I can effectively carry and utilize that's what I'd carry knives weapons all that stuff as many as I can but if I'm just going to like Target I was gonna say Walmart but I don't go to Walmart I go to Target Tarjay so if you want to be a little fancier you go to Target I don't want to go out there with like five six guns like because I don't want my life you finally got it Tarjay that's what we used to say to LA um actually man Target in LA in Hollywood it was like the hottest girls you'd see celebrities and so that was one of the best places seemed to but you got to balance out your life with all this stuff now I don't have like crazy shit all in my house but I definitely have access to a weapon in the bathroom in the living room at my desk or something because if someone kicks in that door all of a sudden I don't want to have to then run and try to get something I always just want to be around something if I'm in my car I always have something around on me I always have something so but if you guys look at me I look like just a normal dude and
