This CONTROVERSIAL Tactic Will Land You In Prison | Home Defense | Navy SEAL 

Im currently going through the ringer by a malicious prosecutor in missouri when i caught a pair of drug addled burglars breaking into my building. Im charged with 1st degree murder and armed criminal action despite meeting every single bit of criteria for castle doctrine and stand your ground. Out on 100,000 bond and still fighting for my life for defending myself at 3am.

The fact that you can’t be malicious to someone threatening your life is mind boggling.

Sadly I went through this in Compton, I only had my .357 after I shot one guy the others gave up but I ended up spending 41 days in jail before the charges were dropped, because I had a criminal record from dumb decisions before - thank you for informing people about this.

I’m a big fan of how you mention that sometimes the best choice is just stay outside and let the cops do the work. Sometimes the best way to fight is not to.

The "oopsie" got me. I'm under no illusions, as a not-former-operator, if my family isn't inside, I ain't clearing it. That said, I learned a few things, thanks!

I respect how calmly you speak to the armed robbers. You didn’t escalate the robber into a fight/flight overreaction.

I like it. Great tactics, slicing the pie well, compressing your rifle. Entering slowly, remaining vigilant: priceless. Semper Fi

If I knew my family wasn’t in the house and my kids were with me I’d call the cops and wait. I need to train for the scenarios that require me to approach and enter. Truly appreciate your videos!

Very well done and with a bit of humor... Too many of these types of training videos are presented with an overbearing sense of authority by individuals that are too busy trying to show they are warriors instead of focusing on the task at hand and being able to laugh. Thank you for the video and for having a sense of humor.

Was not ready for this level of cinematography at all 😂

It seems crooks have more rights than tax paying home owners

Would definitely call law enforcement first. However it’s always a good decision to run scenarios & build that muscle memory in case you are in a situation where your family is in danger. Love your content very informative & helpful

Jason as an Army infantry veteran thank you for putting this information out there. Given the current state of issues in this country this is some of the most valuable and important information.

Thank you for this info. In Taxachusetts, home defense by firearm is so legally tricky. My primary defense are home cams, lots of ext motion lights and 2 quite aggressive dogs. Your approach has me thinking more about my homes blindsides and where to improve where I store multiple firearms for quick access or backup

Ive learned more watching your videos than i did in my 1 year training course i participated in.

This is great advice! This is the type of content that is needed most from the 2A RU-vid community.

I’m just gonna tell the judge “I didn’t know if my wife was home or not. I always do a tactical entry with my AR when I get home”

Interesting series. Very useful for us in South Africa with all the farm attacks and murders. Thanks for sharing!

I like how tactical your hat is with that notch on either side to allow peripheral vision.

I'm glad I'm not the only person doing clearing drills in my house. Granted I cannot "push in" legally, but I do live under castle doctrine. But if my family is confirmed inside I become an animal...and animals don't care about laws. Great video and awesome pointers for my next drill

Great advice! I live in a rural area with little police presence and very long wait times. I've started training over the past year and a half just in case. Thank you for helping with the tactics.

Dead check rounds get me really rizzed up 😂... Best geneva convention loophole

You had me at, "Oopsie!"....great points, thanks for tthe AAR...some great points made...

I fucking died rolling and laughing my ass off after that double tap. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very informative. Something I've been struggling with in training, mindset, and such. It seems these days calling the "professionals" is only for documentation after the fact. After the damage is done. But in the same token, an individual pushing forward to stop what they can not or will not stop makes you an enemy of the state. Seems the common man looses either way.

Excellent! You presented this scenario perfectly. I respect the way you advised the law and skill set pertaining to what you were presenting. Safety rounds are more prevalent now days due to the availability of body armor. Much respect to you for explaining the legality of Safety rounds and pushing forward into an empty house, it looks cool but the war in the courtroom has different rules of engagement. We are not in TEXAS anymore!

Imagine being so unlucky as to rob a SEAL's house over literally any other in the neighbourhood.

If no family is at home, not going in yourself is definitely the right way to go. And would probably call the cop before going in. Sometimes intruders have a lookout hiding outside so you should at least be aware of that. Not having a wifi recording camera system you can check recorded history on your phone before going in is a shame too. Also correct on the security round, I remember this was discussed extensively in my ccw class (also Texas) you cannot pump one in after the fact. My cop friend told me to absolutely make sure they are dead if they tried to reach for their weapon after they are down though

I live that you raise awareness on so many key points including simple things to stay aware of as well as potential consequences and knowing when to push forward and when to hold back.

I believe that your channel is poised for significant growth. The content you offer is of exceptional quality, providing informative and occasionally humorous material that is genuinely intended to assist the average American. Your dedication to delivering helpful content is commendable.

I really appreciate the information you provide within your content. It’s good to know these things to protect my family & I, but it sucks how killing a home invader can land you in jail (which seems ridiculous). Also, this video kinda helps with my approach in Call of Duty, lol. Thank you for your service, take care

I love that you mention that if you know where your family is that its a choice whether or not you should push forward. Things can be replaced. Your life cant be

I am a new homeowner / gun owner and your videos have been pretty much helpful to me. From the state of Delaware.

I'm a federal law enforcement agent and it really is crazy how much trouble someone can get into for something that seems so simple and common sense. All the things we've been trained to do (gain tactical advantage, fire superiority, cover fire, dead-checks, etc.) can be a one way ticket to the Big House. Unless there is an absolute necessity, calling law enforcement as a civilian is ALWAYS the better option. On the times where deadly force is necessary, you need to stop if the threat stops. Good rule: EVERY ROUND HAS A LAWYER ATTACHED TO IT. EVERY CRIMINAL IS A VICTIM OF SOCIETY, A GOOD PERSON, A PROVIDER, A SAINT, AND DESERVED BETTER - ACCORDING TO THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

The angles you took on each corner on the home really opened my mind, appreciate it!

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, Jason. Stay safe everyone.

What I have decided for myself from your exercise - my knife (which is always on me) goes into a couple of tires while I cover my approach and I back away. Thanks for putting this scenario together, it let me visualize what is best tactic for me.

Love this! Keep them coming! The men in our country that are not aware of how to clear homes or are gun safe

"Never put security rounds in home intruders." 10 Gauge buckshot: "What's a security round?"

Well done, sir. I appreciate the finer details you go through. Pie-ing the room is the best way to stay safe even if you are trying to leave a dangerous situation and not engage. Practicing in your own house is a great advantage. Bonus for the "oopsie" rounds and the discussion about them.

This is beautiful! I’m no expert at all and I expected this to be another cheeseball video. I was incredibly surprised and I learned a lot! I live by the saying “you win 100% of the gunfights you aren’t in.” And you spoke to this perfectly. I will protect my family at all costs but only my home to an extent. I absolutely do not want to take a human life if I don’t have to and I want to make every effort to avoid doing so. Thank you so much for this.

Im super glad i stumbled upon your channel. I’ve been looking into getting a pistol for defense, and i always do a lot of research on RU-vid with anything, so that’s how I found your channel. I’ve watched three of your videos so far and you have lots of great information. I got bullied at school for a little while and then in middle school i started boxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu plus i grew up near LA skateboarding all over the place in super sketchy places and stuff and so all of that made me know to keep my head on a swivel and stay aware of my surroundings at all times and always know the best escape route. now i live in Mississippi and was in Texas before here but i am a very firm believer in defending yourself your family and any one else that needs defending at any and all times within your means and abilities and to the extent necessary unless it puts my love ones in danger that is. But I’m also a believer in not killing, if it happens it happens but i personally dont believe it’s ok to do that if you can get out of the situation or handle it without death, Anyways I’m really glad you said what you said at the end, if no body is home there’s no reason to go in. Dudes and even ladies sometimes have way too much of an ego and it gets in the way im sure i don’t need to tell you or anyone how often we hear people say things like “oh man if that dude says one more thing ima kill him” and stuff like that, but yeah if someone has the ability to just leave that’s what’s best there’s a lot of trouble that comes with putting people down in this type of situation especially when you don’t have to. I have a friend here who’s mom killed in self defense in her home and still went to prison for 10 years he was little at the time so she missed half his life pretty much. Now that’s something to think about right there. But i also liked how everything you did in that scenario it exactly what i was thinking as well, honestly a lot of it’s common sense but it does need to be practiced as much as possible cus when your scared and got that adrenaline or not the same like you said muscle memory. Plus i always like thinking about tactics and stuff ever with positive things

Well presented, very professional. I like how he explains the legality of the situation should you decide to enagage you don’t see many tactical persons saying those things

Incredible tactics! Really enjoyed the video and learned some things as well. I really liked how you covered all aspects and didnt just give one option like others do when they tell you "This is what you need to do" In the scenario you showed there were choices to either Fight or Flee because no loved ones were in the house or in immediate danger so it was completely up to the homeowner if they were confident enough in their training to proceed into the fight or to just keep their distance and contact Law Enforcement. Thank you, I look forward to more uploads and training advice in the future.

The quality of your videos have improved so much. Keep up your good work and be safe you and your family.

God bless you frog man and have a wonderful day.Thank you for the video.

Better to be judged 12 than carried by 6 You have every right to protect your own property.

Thanks for the sweeping demonstration! Carefully thought out and it has broadened my knowledge.

thank you for showing this to people. you are amazing, alot of people think they know everything.

I am still 17 and don’t own any firearms, but I will definitely subscribe so I can learn these things early. Thank you for producing this video! I have learned some basics from older family members but learning more can never hurt.

Left hand shooters are a rarity, so any training I can absorb from y'all are a godsend. Subbed

Very cool to have your perspective and training to learn from. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

thanks for the tips and advice in the video, I try my best to train in my home daily even if it takes me a couple minutes. Always good to know what youre working with

Early on in my Navy career on my first ship they blindfolded use and had us go from our bunks to the outside of the ship as training in case of a fire. I never thought I would see that type of drill for anything else, but I was wrong because I had that training again in combat training to learn how to use sound to give you a leg up on locating your targets.

Great info and good for those of us who have never been trained to clear an area. Hopefully, I never have to do it, but having some idea how to helps. The advice to find all family and possibly remain a key witness is gold!

Excellent advice even though we in Texas can push forward. I like how you explain your movements and weapon handling techniques while clearing each room, and the entire house in general.

Love your channel and everything you’ve done for this country! Since I’ve found it I’ve literally binged as much as I can and have actually been implementing alot that I’ve learned into my everyday thinking, planning and training for myself and my family! God bless and thank you for the knowledge transfer! 🙏🏻

Good info, battle! Thank you for your your service.

The way you describe pathing is so simple yet so effective !!

I had a very similar thing happen when my wife was out of town. I came home and our front door was open. I grabbed my AR pistol and went in and cleared my house. My wife didn’t shut the door completely when she left was how it got open. Now, let me finish the video to see what I did wrong.

The tactics are really good. As a an ex tactic instructor and actual operational chief for prime responders in Geneva/Switzerland, it comes of great help… even though we do have way different legal mindset concerning self and home defense

New follower here, Marine infantry once upon a time, and proud Texan. Iust say that I love your videos and tutorials. Solid training tips and wise tactical decision making.

Love your videos, plain and straight. - Greetings from South Africa. We have one of the most violent countries in the world and we as citizens appreciate this advice. I am an old army veteran but as you know we always need to learn and to work on our skills.

Very clear and concise video demonstrating a possible real scenario. There is no such thing as "enough" when it comes to training and FT videos help me to keep my head in the game even when I'm not on the flat range or in a class. Thanks, man!

What would I do? Call the cops. Even if I know I can clear the home my freedom is important. Protect your family. I am so glad you said Texas law doesn't necessarily stop you from being prosecuted. Too many folks think Castle doctrine, stand your ground etc is a license to kill in some situations. It isn't. Great video. Subscribed

I live in New Mexico. Rural Edgewood. I came home to find my front door slightly open. While I have training for clearing a structure, I felt better to have police clear my home. When police arrived, I gave them a clear description of the home and watched as three departments, Edgewood police, SP and SO. Nothing inside. I think as asked to remain in my vehicle, I did so. Very interesting day.

I would be too concerned about leaving my family in the vehicle... unless one of them were prepared to drive away if needed. Great info brother! God bless you and yours.🇺🇲👍✌️🇺🇲

I have 10 years of combat train from my old man and we like your videos, very informational and the movement is damn near flawless at the least, very inspiring! It makes me want to train more.

Great info on scenario training. Love you stressing the safety, I do the same with my family. Living in Texas I really like that you clarify that even doing something like protecting your home the chance of litigation is real and present.

I love the videos you show what to do and possible legal problems you might encounter with scenario

Excellent scenarios. Great ideas on the location of family members. Stuff can be replaced, loved ones can't. Thanks 😊

These videos are essential. Thanks for the great content and sharing knowledge.

This was awesome information to share with us. I never really thought about what you mentioned about the left side of the vehicle and giving your back. As hard as it may be to duplicate a scenario like this it’s important to practice scenarios as much as you can for God forbidding it does happen to you……hopefully we will be prepared and know how to respond and act.

Thank you for sharing facts! Too many incorrect myths within social media.

That walk through at the beginning is almost exactly how I would have gone through it. Good thing I also have home security cameras recording 24/7.

Awesome video, I go through scenarios and drills with my family as well. This is a very good video! Really appreciate what you're doing to provide good information to the community!! Keep up the good work FrogMan!!

Interesting video. I liked the content. You explained it well. Goes to show how involved an approach like this is. Lots to think about for an entry level person to where you're at. Well done. 👍

One hundred percent agree. My old man was a seal. But the advice that you're giving is the same exact thing that he taught me. He passed in 1993 don't know if you serve together.. William m baker . Your advice is good stuff true advice. Along with your other videos you can tell that you're talking from experience.retierd marine myself . And it is exactly the same way that I teach my children.. If you ever come to maine. I would love to do some training stuff with you and my family. Definitely like how you talk. With no ego and in god's light . That is a special thing. God bless you and yours( Sincerely Baker family in maine)

Excellent advice and demonstration

Great video - very insightful as to the do's and don't as well as pointing out possible legal ramifications. Appreciate the replay of the scenario and the details that you provide regarding situational awareness and methods to clear rooms.

Thank you, and massive respect to you for this content you’ve shared with everyone. Though I don’t live in a country where guns are prevalent it’s always good to know these things, again thanks for sharing seen.

Man, your setup is slick.

Great training - thanks! Also, I love your bedroom decor. What a great wall!

Another thing to keep in mind is you can look behind the door from outside the room while the door is open through the gap created by the hinges

Great video! Excellent information and examples on how to not put yourself in a bad legal situation if you don’t have to.

Very useful and much appreciated info sir!! Thanks a million for dropping some expert knowledge to help people understand how to stay safe and protect loved ones! I would really appreciate your wisdom on how to clear a downstairs area in which the enemy would possibly spot you first as you make your way downstairs!

Hey Frogman that was a great video. Nice work and thanks for sharing the knowledge. On a side note that door to your gun room swings closed. If you pull 2 hinge pins (one at a time) and hammer a slight bend in them reinstall them and the door won’t swing like that it should stay wherever you open it to. If it still swings just a little more bend will do the trick!

This is good shit and invaluable info and legot perspectives of the potentials not just physically but legally as well and somethings I've heard you say that I highly respect is we as men are responsible not only for our family's physical security but also their emotional and spiritual security. GOD BLESS 🙏

Great video, I think your a lefty. As a senior citizen and a fellow lefty and living far from town I hope I never have to clear my own house. I’m not trained like you and am disabled. But I love the instructions you give and you don’t make people feel stupid because they are not as well trained as you. God bless you and yours. Thank you mr frogman!

Absolutely great advice.

Man I love this video. Definitely subscribing

Double tap oopsie🤣 Great video, very informative. Thank you👍🏻

We are indeed blessed to have the freedoms we are entitled to exercise here in the great state of Texas. I always enjoy the expertise shared by fellow veterans. Thank you for your service as well as the video.

Very useful information, thanks for the video. Will definitely subscribe.

Learned a few little things thanks keeps it up

Nice to see short stocking employed. That technique was really popular with Marines forced to clear structures with an A4. The RCO wasn't much use indoors and we didn't have piggybacking RMRs back then, so we just used the hotspot from our Surefire torches. SAS used the hotspot on the Maglites attached to the top of their MP5s during the 1980 Iranian Embassy clearing because the location of the light on top of their SMG made the sights inaccessible. And shortstocking has been taught to SWAT teams in the US since the 1990s, primarily as a way to wield 18 and 20 inch barrel shotguns indoors effectively. Both of these techniques are legit, but I have yet to see them used outside 3rd Bat 5th Marines.

I like to think that this idea could be thought about before deciding whether to enter a potential situation... "If you would not go to the location unarmed, do not go to it armed" If there is no need for you to be there i.e. someones life is in danger, then you dont have to be there... those lawers will try their best to make you look like the aggressor and will always try to find a way to make it seem like you had a choice to not have to engage whomever you potentially shot.

thank you for the home defense techniques. There are laws to stand your grounds by any means necessary.

Thank you. Love your videos!

Big ups on your camera man and editor. That whole house clearing scene had some cool elements to it. I'd totally watch an action movie about a navy seal ruining a bunch of wannabe burglar's plans. LOL
