@@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093 Listen to the attorney in this video. An attorney who specializes in firearm-related self-defense -- and that is NOT a "Plea Bargain Pete" -- is your very best friend.
"once the gentleman behind me popped my seatbelt off" dude called his attacker gentleman. Genuine dude for sure. The best warrior is humble and ready at all times.
The buried lead here is "Lyft policy prohibits weapons" for their drivers to defend themselves. Another corporation putting profits above the value of Human Life.
Agree, but there are several self defense insurance policies from a few companies for just this situation. Pay the premiums and you get legal representation if you're involved in a self defense case.
The attorney is a very smart lady, her comments regarding accidentally giving wrong info because you've just been through a high stress situation is incredibly valuable information.
I drove for Uber/Lyft for about a year and always carried. There’s absolutely no reason not to, especially when you’re picking up trash people (which happens with every Uber and Lyft driver).
I carry as well. If I ever have to use it I will deal with Lyft’s no weapons policy then. So far I haven’t had to use it, nobody asks so nobody knows. What didn’t make sense to me is this guy brought up the no weapons policy as a reason to not carry on his person. You still have a gun so he is still violating policy anyways so why not carry on your person? I watch ASP videos all the time and countless times I’ve seen if it isn’t on you then you are at a significant disadvantage. Glad it all worked out and I hope Lyft doesn’t fire him.
@@JayPtown They can't technically fire him because he technically doesn't work for them. That's what's wrong with this ride share nonsense. They call you an "independent contractor" but they have all these rules about what you can and can't do in your own car.
Does that inviting someone into your car applies to the driver’s compartment as well? I mean once the drivers door opened it’s an abnormal ride share. I didn’t invite you to drive my car right. In all this guy covered his asp and glad he lived through to tell his story and teach all the CCW carriers who watch, just a little didn’t disappointed these guy didn’t get the life education they truly need i.e “hot lead” no sympathy for these crimes armed or not.
They will most likely deactivate his account.Block him from using the app,they don’t need to fire you.I drive Uber as well,I used to drive lift and they deactivated my account only reason was bad cellphone service,I accepted the ride,was heading to pick up passenger in JFK airport and lost connection on my way,way a got cellphone service back,the ride was gone and account blocked.Called lyft and they blamed me for canceling the ride.And they permanently blocked my account.They need no reason to block you.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 while they couldn't fire him, they could disable his account for policy violation. he's fortunate this was a successfully non-violent defense, so they are less likely to take that action(bad press when they already have more than they would prefer) but because the level of training is so varied among 2A carriers, and also several incidents where some drivers have not scored as well as Scott on the "did I do everything could to resolve this without drawing my firearm?" measuring stick, the litigation risk rose, and so the policies were changed. I drive for Uber, and before the policies changed, it used to be "Follow your local laws regarding CCW". IMO, rideshare companies need to revert to this previous stance. If they need to keep the lawyers happy, perhaps offer a training course/curriculum as a due diligence requirement to carry according to local laws while driving for them. I would love to see @USCCA involved with them in creating such a process. Not only is more training rarely a bad thing when it comes to 2A, the USCCA has produced some of the finest 2A education I've come across.
If Lyft or Uber wants to have these ridiculous rules, their CEO’s and owners need to be required to work over night in the worst cities areas that offer their service for a full month. Profits over employee safety.
@Lora Wachowska except pretty much 90% of all blue collar jobs, and pretty much all white collar jobs prohibit any weapons of self defense, including knives and OC spray, while working and in their buildings,warehouses, facilities. Even cargo haulers can't have any weapons on them. Lol what career can most people can reasonably get where they can have self defense at the ready always? Public servants lxike police doesn't count and most people can't do that, in more ways than one. Lol ironically enough about your comment, doing stuff like Uber/Lyft/Grubhub as a career is actually better/easier for self defense, including using firearms because while they're prohibited by policy _(mainly firearms, OC spray is ok),_ *if you're discreet then Uber and Lyft won't know you're armed,* and if you're lucky they won't even care. Nobody fro, corporate is going to hunt you down and search YOUR car, worst that happens i they terminate your account but then just switch services or something lol. At a physical job, you get searched and you're immediately terminated, sometimes charged if you're caught with weapons. At my job I can't even bring my phone discreetly onto the work area, let alone a damn weapon lol.
@@-ABC- no they won’t they will just flip a switch if they get a report of a weapon. So all some punk ass has to do to get someone fired is report to Lyft or Uber that you had a weapon in your car. They don’t even have to have had you as a driver. Car type and license plate is all they need. And there is NO OPPORTUNITY FOR DEFENSE.
@@USCCAOfficial Probably because these laws were made before the age where we capture just about everything on video. You see the video, and it's clear he responded correctly. Back in the day, even just 20 years ago, it'd be his word against theirs. Whenever you have a "he said/she said" scenario where the 3rd party didn't actually see what happened, it makes discerning the truth much, much more difficult. So while you have to presume both parties innocent until proven guilty, you also need to consider one of them is probably guilty, so you can't just let them go. You have to detain both, and sort it out through trial/due-process. And now, with deep faked video and audio becoming so convincing, even video/audio is becoming less and less clear-cut evidence.
@@drewt.4353 and that mean they couldn't take the firearm away from him and use it on him had he not been determined to live and wasn't a coward and gave in to 2 attackers ? I can tell you this I'm glad he wasn't waiting on the police to appear and miraculously save him

Scott's ability to not "panic fire" shows amazing self-control, and mental preparedness, especially during an altercation with 2 people, and also most likely thinking the one in the back had a gun pressed point blank to him. Awesome story and glad all went well!
He’s lucky because I would of started shooting and wouldn’t think twice. A good lawyer would easily get me off. They were acting as if they were armed it doesn’t matter if they weren’t. If you pretend to pull a gun on a cop you’re getting mag dumped 🤷♂️
I’m glad he survived and was smart enough to carry. I always tell drivers it’s better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 any day of the week. And the fact it’s better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it. Not to mention it’s more important to make it home safely then worry about getting deactivated for carrying.
Are you telling me if he had shot the guy in the car, the victim would be in trouble? I just took my CCW class and it's mind-boggling how laws seem to actually be in favor of criminals and keeping them alive.
That's the simple fact. They would rather a stolen vehicle than a dead criminal. And this video is very one sided, survived the carjacking? They held him up with a phone
Kinda,well conducted, the cop was trying hard to fight his cop ego, he was visibly irritated by the lawyer stated that you shouldn’t talk to the cops until you talk to an attorney.
I see a guy who didn't get killed by a couple of criminals because the criminals weren't murderers. That's the only reason this guy is alive today! And the only reason his gun isn't on the streets!
@@jaybartgis5148 while i will agree that lyft and uber are trash and ur gas miles are best used for finding r.e. deals as compared to working for those cronies.

@@DouglasFelts I don't understand your response. How will your passengers ever know if it's concealed? Private corporate policies hold zero recognition or legal authority
1. Never talk to police. 2. Always have an attorney to represent you. 3, Record everything. 4. If you don't have to shoot to save your life, don't. 5. Train with your weapon until it becomes a part of you. Practice over and over. 6. Know what you are going to do in various situations.
1 yes 2 yes 3 no, don't record everything. That can be used against you. 4 yes 5 yes 6 yes. 7. Never think having a gun on you will save your life. Most of time it's about who pulls on who. 8. Always nice to have a gun and never using than not having it when you need it. Ultimately we need more police, we are plagued by a culture of violence in inner cities.
Glad he was able to make it home to his family , I was shocked to hear the company has a no firearms policy in your own vehicle while driving strangers around at random hours...
The new firearm policy is extremely important because it makes it safer for the stockholders and the founders of the company but the safety of the driver is of no concern
im owning a gun for a month now, and this type of situations has me scared asf, not because i could die, but because i could go to prision and viewed as a criminal just for defending my life !!
Wild huh. To even have him congratulated for his control (which don't get it wrong i respect fully) when he could have been looked on as a suspect for not even pulling the trigger and he was just car jacked is mind bending with a clean record and a concealed permit. It's disgusting.
Hi Scott I’m glad you were carrying. I’m a CCW carrier myself. Glad you made it home safely and no one was killed. Were you able to retain your Uber/Lyft platform after this incident. This is why I feel if you live in a state that issues a CCW to law abiding citizens and drivers, they should be allowed to carry regardless of Uber/Lyft no weapons policies because you don’t know what kind of passengers you pick up, there background, and there intentions. Glad your alive and that you have USCCA for your lawyers.
@Ryan Gonzales, there is a second part to this video where Scott states that he was suspended while Lyft investigated the incident. He was reinstated after 3 days. HTH. 🙂
He only needed to hold up that car for food to eat! It's all because of systemic racism! He's just trying to get something back from the white people who've kept him down his whole life and this terribad supremacist is terrorizing him with a firearm!!>!>!>?!?!?!?!>?!?!!!
As an Army Veteran and long time CC permit holder I salute you Scott. Well done and Congratulations on your continued living of your Life. As for the dirtballs - Karma will find you if nothing else. Look forward to that.
Nope. The karma is letting these practicing felons learn that they need real weapons and they can't hesitate before shooting their next victim(s). The best karma would be that they catch your parents in a public place and put them in the coroners office
Just like the criminals in NY getting out of jail for the 30th time then shooting some poor mom in the head? Or pushing some old lady into a train? If that's karma then yes I believe all criminals in America nowadays will suffer from karma
When you drew that pistol, that brutha looked like he was gonna crap his pants! If you don't want to get shot, don't commit any crimes! The last thing that law abiding citizens want to do, is draw their firearns on anybody.

Wow, this whole video is really good. The interviewer's style fits the purpose of the interview well. Those friendly teaching style challenge questions are really good. Like the discussion on where the gun was, the castle doctrine, and actions after the incident. Having the lawyer there and showing how she's the ultimate go to was a lesson more people need to learn. Even from a marketing view this was great. There was value given first, the lessons learned from the incident. Then the subtle reminder that USCCA is helping in this and providing support. But it shows that USCCA is more concerned with what to learn & do in a situation like this.
Most people here are thanking gawd the criminals made it home to their family, so they are able to assault/rob/murder someone else later. Same thing judges and prosecutors are doing when the let repeat violent offenders out on $10 bail. Perfect way to structure a society that favors criminals far above victims
I thought of this before he even asked, that I hoped he wouldn’t ask and him not answer. Also, I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but that does not sound like a good place for firearms. Especially in the given situation. There was a guy between him and the gun, luckily it wasn’t used on himself. If I got it right the second guy opened the door and now the gun is further away and someone in between.
Haha thought this was going to be an anti gun rant at first, you got me! Shootings are definitely messy and i can imagine the cost of having it done professionally.
🔰 That’s a MOST ridiculous statement. So you should wait to be killed because you’re worried about some creeps blood being in your car❓ You take the appropriate action with the appropriate amount of force as the situation unfolds. You don’t have but milliseconds to think. If you’re worried about your ears and blood, you’re putting your life after logic. You absolutely cannot jeopardize your life thinking about the after effects as the situation is occurring…doing so will clutter your mind with unnecessary thoughts, and you cannot afford to have your mind cluttered in that moment. @Lyfan Deth
Thats 500k to 3 millions interaction of self defense per year. Criminals see a gun and run away. Good job on scott, im so glad he didnt have to use his weapon.
Sadly I don’t think this situation will even make it into the “guns used in self defense” statistics because he didn’t have to discharge his weapon. We all know his gun saved him but because he didn’t have to fire the weapon I don’t think the fbi or whoever keeps track will count this as a defensive use of a firearm, again even tho it obviously is. That’s why that statistic is so inaccurate because there’s countless situations where the good guy draws a firearm and scares the bad guy away without having to fire it. I’ve carried daily for over a decade the only time I had to draw my weapon the bad guy ran away as soon as he saw my gun I never even called the police because it was just pointless so there’s so many defensive uses of firearms that go un reported
@@Evergreen1400 u are correct. Even when there are police reports, not all depts have a stat for that. And yet more ppl have a story like u than have actually used the firearm. Hence why the range is so big because its an estimate. Colion noir and steven crowder bring this up often and i think the reported number of events is around 600k per year.
Wait, someone breeches my "castle" under false pretenses, but since I initiated the invitation castle doctrine no longer applies??? Sounds like some vampire lore...
Yup. She's not much of a lawyer. it doesn't matter how they got in. Once they were in they tried to rob him and he was under the impression they had a gun on him.
@@GryphonBrokewing It's not clear that he "invited" them in. How does he know they were even the guys that requested the ride? They didn't show an ID and they were wearing masks.
Castle doctrine has nothing to do with this case. Absolutely nothing. The facts here, he believed, reasonably, that he was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm, was not able to safely retreat, and as far as he knew, the robbers had the ability, opportunity, and intent to hurt/kill him. This is a very simple case. Especially having dashcam.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 He confirmed by *name* at the beginning of the video, before the attack. He didn't ask for ID, but was at the pickup location and given the expected name.
I don’t get it. The Castle Doctrine does not apply because they were invited to enter his vehicle? So what if I invite a door to door salesman into my home who later decides to rob me at gun point in my living room? I’m no lawyer, but I’m sure I would have every right to defend myself, to include the use of deadly force. If I’m wrong, then someone please explain to me why the Castle Doctrine even exists?
I think the difference being a car and your home. Either way if your life is in danger you should protect yourself and your family/friends but make sure you call a lawyer.
Read Wisconsin Revised Statutes 939.48 very carefully. It incorporates Castle in that if a perp is forcibly entering or has entered a dwelling, auto or business there is no duty to retreat before taking defensive action. Otherwise, there is a duty. It's a dangerous situation to be facing a handgun. If you turn and run you might get a bullet in the back. If there is no way to escape, what do you do? I'm with you that if someone is in my home with a dangerous weapon threatening me I'm defending, if possible. But with laws like this it is the victim who goes to jail. It's Wisconsin -- look what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse.
if someone is in the middle of committing a violent crime, the castle doctrine isn't your only legal justification to use deadly force, the "invited guests" thing was meant to stop people from permanently uninviting guests and getting away with murder because "he was inside the door" as silly as it sounds.
I carry every day all day everywhere I go because I live in America. Recently I had to go to CA for business for 2 days. 48 hours unarmed and I hated every second of it. I felt so vulnerable and helpless
my dad is legal to concealed carry because he was a maintenance man who also had to evict or deal with problem people for the landlords in very sketchy areas but recently opted out of carrying the handgun for keeping a baseball bat in the truck. Said there were too many situations where he was almost forced to shoot someone and he’s too afraid to do something that might ruin his life. A lot of people who can carry but don’t have this mindset I believe.
If you genuinely need a gun on you to act as the equivalent of an adult pacifier you are mentally fragile and the exact type of person that should NOT be carrying a gun because you perceive threats where there are none, putting everyone around you at unnecessary risk.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves regarding electric door locks. For most vehicles, when you're in the driver's seat, there's no way to unlock only a specific door. I can roll down each window individually because each window has it's own rocker switch on the driver side door, but you can only lock or unlock all the doors at once.
You can unlock all the door and then lock your door :/ its not that hard (litteraly just take an extra second) or you can lock all doors and open one of the passengers door
@@ShadNex Entering and exiting a car is usually done in a transitional space (parking garage, on the street, etc.) If a driver only wants to unlock one of the rear doors they cannot do so from the driver seat without unlocking all the doors.
I appreciate, video segments like this you get the help you need from real interviews you get the opinions from a real police officer and a lawyer and a victim a real scenario
Kevin, the content of this video (which was very informative and instructional) could not have been a more perfect advertisement for the USCCA. It succinctly presented the most important messages of our Association to the general public and Second Amendment advocates, new and old. Great stuff!!
If the guy in back of had a weapon and was willing to use it ole boy is 6ft under right now. I do not agree with people praising his actions. They would have gotten him killed in a different situation. Should have left the gun were it was and let them have his stuff or turned to shoot the guy.
@@craigturbyfield1438 yea just let two criminals take his car with guns in it? Pretty much a firearm owners worst nightmare. What's your address? Since now everyone here knows you'll just let them take your stuff and not shoot them.
@@andrewredding3132 you missed his point. He drew a gun and did not fire it. Now he has no fear of his life self defense. If you draw you shoot period. First thing self defense teaches you. At the moment lethal force is decided as the best option you go full and hard until the threat stops moving. He has now unlawfully brandished a firearm.
@@shawngilbert6344 Kind of the same thoughts I have. Him not having any type of actual training, like he said at the beginning of the video, is why he didn't shoot. In my opinion he got extremely lucky that the situation was the way it was, and they were a couple of cowards. Otherwise his chances of being a chalk outline would've been a lot higher.
Haven’t seen this story anywhere on Google (I wonder why). I did see where a female Lyft driver defended herself with her legal firearm and was fired for Lyft’s no-weapon policy. I see why the executives would want that (in case of a bad shoot) HOWEVER, if the driver got firearm insurance, for example: USCCA, I really don’t see what the problem would be.
I wonder what Uber and lyfts culpability may be for arranging for muggers to get into my car as a driver? Considering they have a no weapons policy, I would imagine they need have a higher level of liability for my safety.
@@Ninja9981000 with Lyft, they prohibit even pepper spray. Uber, on the other hand, doesn’t. When I was driving rideshare, my pistol was ALWAYS within easy reach. No one knew about it, so what they didn’t know wouldn’t get me deactivated as a driver.
@@aprilwycherley Yeah, I also drove for both companies for a bit, and when I did, I always had my glock 19 on my hip and my glock 27 on my ankle. I never knew that they prohibited carry (although I figured they did) as I never really cared either way because it was my car and I'll do what I please. It wasn't a real job for me so if they ever found out and cut me off, I wouldn't really care to much and my safety is FAR and AWAY more important than their policy. Figured the only way they would ever know is if I had to use it anyway. I'm just curious if they have any culpability if they arrange a ride share with a mugger.
@@Ninja9981000 I did it for a while, and it wasn’t really a real job for me, as I’m disabled, and bring in SSDI. I’d really rather work a job again, but with COVID, and my lungs being one of my disabilities, I couldn’t take any chances, so when it came to the US, I stopped driving strangers, and would’ve stopped driving my kids if I could get away with it. They tend to be able to find germs where there aren’t any! I never drove after bars let out. I don’t deal well with drunks, and I don’t want to be around them while I’m trying to work. I’m also in a smaller city, so not as dangerous as some areas, but still not necessarily safe, either. Lyft doesn’t care, because drivers are expendable! The way I read the terms, tho, was how it is here, in Texas, you’re allowed to carry in your vehicle without a license, and the police won’t do anything about it. In fact, I don’t even think they ask when they pull you over if you have any weapons in the vehicle. Idk, because I haven’t been pulled over in a while (knock on wood).
In the vast majority of these situations where a tough guy tries to rob, carjack or do any random violence on a good person, it's amazing how fast they turn tail and run when presented with a firearm by the intended victim.
So what. Obviouly they need to get away to continue their crime spree. The choices are simple... 1. an armed coward lets them run away, or 2. Judges and prosecutors let them run away. In either case the goal is the same... allow criminals to create more victims, and hopefully kill or maim innocent people.
Nah you should have to explain yourself, If proven innocent though you shouldn't have to pay a cent. Oh well, welcome to America where defending yourself could financially ruin you if not worse.
I drove Lyft and Uber and I hate the no weapons policies as well as the mask mandates. I believe it is MY CAR, MY RULES. If riders didn't like my rules, I had no problem with them getting a different driver. I believe the state of Texas should tell Lyft and Uber that their weapons policies violate Texas law and that they need to ammend them or cease doing business in our state
Simple solution, disobey it! It's just a "policy", and a "feel good" one at that. They literally can't do ANYTHING to actually enforce it... Beyond "deactivating" you if you're discovered to have violated it, which (at least in theory) wouldn't ever happen unless you actually have to use it!
@@garymartin9777 I wouldn't doubt that does play a role too... I'm not sure who is the carrier for lyft but I believe uber drivers/riders are covered via allstate... But at the same time I kind of doubt their vehicle insurance carriers have any part of this 'policy'... again not too sure about lyft but for the longest time uber didn't have such a policy. Their "policy" was literally to "follow state law", meaning if you can legally carry in your state then you were allowed to carry while doing uber... however it was immediately after an incident in Chitcago, an uber driver shot someone (justified), then uber created and publicly announced their "no firearms 'policy' "...
There should be no question why you carry a gun or an accessible knife that can be used to stop the attacker. No ride share company or anybody should tell you that you don't have the right to defend yourself. What's more important than keeping your tenure with lift or Uber is your life because you've chosen to stay armed. I worked in a bank and one of the highest cash handling branches in all of my city and I had my CCW on me all day everyday when technically we were not supposed to be allowed to carry weapons but I still took it upon myself.
Compared to police that shot into a crowd of people because they thought someone had a gun, this guy managed to compose himself enough to think in a calm manner.
What’s scary is.. if he would’ve had his gun holstered on his side instead of in his door panel like very many ppl do.. he would’ve lost his gun to the bad guy in the back seat
No cab driver is going to have their gun holstered to a location that provides easy access to the passengers, especially when they drive a lot of drunks.
Any concealed carry position in which his firearm would have been on his right side torso would have been disastrous according to the video. The back seat passenger had his hands everywhere from his front pocket area to the small of his back and he mentioned that the "gentleman" grabbed his knife, which I assume was on his right side belt. Had that been his firearm, well, thankfully it wasn't! I'm thinking a leg holster or other left sided concealment area unaccessible to the passengers or visible when the drivers door is opened. The door panel WITHOUT a holster seemed to be optimal in this case as a holster would have required a second hand unless it was somehow fastened to the door panel. So glad this worked out for the driver and I hope the "gentlemen" know how close they came to taking their last breath and everything that being able to breath has to offer them! They should turn themselves in and thank this driver for knowing when to say when!
That's why I'm done with Uber and Lyft. I love driving but having some strangers behind my back makes me so uncomfortable. You never know what a passenger can do to you? It's not worthy risking your life.
I’m glad Scott got out of there alive! Thank god. Unfortunately there was a Lyft driver a father of three and another Uber driver was shot and killed in an attempted carjacking here in Chicago months ago…to all my Rideshare drivers out there stay safe and keep awareness
Wow. Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I am a ride share driver and I carry everyday and am a USCCA member as well. This is some valuable information. This will definitely give me some insights on how to carry while in my vehicle.
This is a real citizen, he could've killed both guys but he didn't. I respect this gentleman for handling the situation calmly. I'm soo glad he survived this situation safely. Respect
@@serverservidor16that's a big what if.. he made a judgment call not shoot them in da back. I wouldn't have either unless I or anyone with me was hurt by the encounter
The driver is a good man, he controlled the situation enough to be aware that once he pulled on them they ran away and we're no longer a threat, he wasn't blood thirsty like a lot of people in that situation.
Police take the only copy of the camera evidence and then later on they police says "what videos?" I'd have a very hard time trusting any police with the only copy extant. It may get lost. It may get erased.
Yes, it's always a greater societal benefit to let criminals leave the scene so they can terrorize others in the future, and escalate their violence as they see thete are never any consequences to their actions. 👏

@@TannerHinzeFitness Only a backwards, cowardly, religious nutjob society would consider killing a criminal "vigilantism". All criminals should be killed as often and quickly as possible.
One thing not mentioned is best practices for rideshare drivers. Doors should be left locked and passenger window rolled down partially to confirm the passenger identity. You never suggest what their name is. You ask them what their name is and they should be asking the driver what their name is. Uber does NOT have driver safety in mind! If they did, they would require passengers to use their real name, not allow any payment methods that are not traceable, and require a verifiable photo of the passenger.
I was in a similar situation as this guy. I only had one that attacked me. I didn't shoot him because by the time I got to my gun, he was already running away, so I just held the gun at low-ready with my finger off the trigger. You can't claim self-defense if you shoot someone who is running away from you. I did manage to score a good solid kick to the nuts with my steel toe boot which picked him up off the ground. Instant opera soprano. It was rather hilarious watching him try to run away after that, although I wasn't laughing at the time. I got a good 'kick' out of it later, though. Pun intended.
"It didn't feel like a gun, but it might have been" or "I wasn't sure if it was a gun or a cell phone" had scott fired his weapon, could ruin your life as a statement to police officers.
@@TastyTrees916 While most cops are pro 2A there are some who hate the fact that civilians can carry guns. It's not worth the risk. Best bet if you fire is say "I want to talk to my lawyer before making any statements"
@@TastyTrees916 don’t agree. That video explains it all. The criminals goal was to portray his phone as a gun. At no point did the driver have the chance to verify if it was a gun. So In conclusion the driver hoping out and drawing his gun and shooting the criminal is 100% justified. Even if he says your statement of “I wasn’t sure if it was a gun or a cell phone”
Exactly, the pay needs to be raised for law enforcement and the filtering process tightened. Higher pay would attract more positively motivated and responsible individuals that could be screened thoroughly and efficiently. It's common knowledge that higher pay attracts better qualified candidates!
Nah loser. They only put the bad ones or ones with little context out there, blow it up, and hope all the little lemmings will follow on the hate train. Don't be ignorant. You should know it's fake news by now
Infinitely worse than death itself. Better to die than be locked up, and potentially for many years, loosing everything in life. At some point, it's better to just die
My greatest fear as a self defender is that I will not do what this man does. I have trained over and over again, but when I make that decision to pull my weapon, I have already made that decision to pull the trigger. My fear is that it will be a teen with just a cell phone, and that my tail will be toasted in county jail.
I agree although I live in a state that prohibits ability to carry. ( I plan to move to a gun friendly state soon) That would be my fear as well if I was in his shoes. He really kept a cool head about it. This is a good lesson for us all.
I work with Lyft in Philadelphia sometimes I leave mine home, after this video I’ll never leave mine home again. Good way to handle the situation as well you didn’t go Rambo trigger happy.
I'm curious about something. He thought he had a weapon against his body/neck. Seems like he had a right to use his firearm on the passenger while he was facing him and be justified.
The whole castle doctrine thing didn't apply (as said in the video) however a case could be made that the hypothetical shooting may be justified. (not a lawyer)
@@Razor-gx2dq That would end up requiring thousands of hours legal arguments @$1800 per hour for just 1 lawyer; it would break most every law abiding citizen. Not saying your wrong.
He had the right, Yes but he didn’t see the need due to the aggressor in the car retreating. Just cause you can doesn’t mean you should or feel that you have too shot. Honestly shooting because it’s justified is a poor reason to shot, it leaves you open to vindictive DA’s, civil lawsuits, anti gun groups and obviously the driving service he worked for
@@Razor-gx2dq I wouldn’t be so sure about the Castle doctrine not applying in this case. You have a young inexperienced lawyer there who I don’t believe fully understands the law. Those guys were invited into the vehicle but used deception to get that invitation. They misrepresented who they were and what they wanted. So I believe the Castle doctrine would still be in place. I would hope if I ever contact the US CCA for an attorney I get a better one than he got.
@@longgone9869 The attorney knows exactly what she's talking about. Wisconsin self-defense law requires a perp to have forcibly entered a dwelling, auto or business to remove the duty to retreat. They did not forcibly enter so there is a duty to retreat --- and would be even in his own home. However, at first retreat is blocked. Once outside and the second perp ran off he could have too. Had he shot and injured the first perp it would be his butt in jail.
I’ll be getting my CCW in Wisconsin soon so I am watching all these videos as to learn what not to do and what to do and I am a USCCA Elite member and I love my membership there’s so much material to learn. Having access to a defence lawyer is what sold me on the membership. Bonus it’s not that expensive either.
One should absolutely arm themselves especially when you are in picking up complete strangers. Taxi drivers are in the top 5 most dangerous occupations and have always been since I can remember.
These incidents where cab drivers, uber, Lyft and even if you give a friend of a friend a ride, there is so much that can go wrong. I am so glad you were or injured. Very lucky they weren't strapped and pulled first. Glad that lived to educate us
Wow I recently started doing ride share as well two days out the week. I do carry. But now thinking of secondary carry somewhere in the vehicle where ONLY I can retrieve it. Looking at the video. If he was right handed. Using his weapon on his hip was a no go being the robber was on that side. So having a secondary is a great idea. Especially on left side. Great video. See your never to old to learn and do better. Thanks for this. ✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I recently bought a set of four mountable magnets that afford you a hanger for just about anywhere in the vehicle, I chose the right side of my steering wheel and low enough so you have to know it's there in order to see it, be careful out there
@@gregknutson8524 🤝🏿🤝🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿💪🏿thanks I'm going to see what alien gear has. Thats where I go online and get most of my gear. But thanks for that idea. This gives me cold chills. But stories that need to be shared. We can never be too careful.
@@BEABEREAN10 I thought about that as well. Before I even entertain that. I need a smaller weapon. I'm leaning towards what the other guy said with the magnetic idea somewhere near the steering wheel where only I know its there and notice it. But dang all these great ideas 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.
The best place to carry in your vehicle is on your person that way if you were yanked out of the vehicle for some reason your weapon is still with you. Imagine not having time to access it or not being able to get back to it. If you were carrying on body, those two problems are solved.
The attorney is wrong. If you invite a person into your home and then that person wants to kill you, you have a right to defend yourself..it doesn't matter if you invite them in
You have the right to defend but from death or bodily harm, not from what is covered under Castle Doctrine. Six in one hand, half dozen in the other. 🤷♂️
I don't like the question "how and where do you carry guns in your vehicle?" I would have declined to answer that question, because it could potentially give away the driver's element of surprise if ever he finds himself in such a situation again. But maybe I'm just paranoid. 🤷🏻♂️🤪
Do you really think the bad guys are watching? Also what are the chances realistically a bad guy is watching and get this guy as a driver. I've done over 5k rides and have only had a few repeat passengers that I can remember.
