About once a day, he posts a video depicting graphic real-life violence. Then he slows down the video and explains what happened, and how the good guys might have prevailed, or avoided the confrontation altogether. If you have never seen a person stabbed, shot, or (in one case) bludgeoned with a fish tank, go watch the 800 videos Correia has edited and analyzed. His popularity on YouTube has made him a minor celebrity at gun conventions. In deep-red states, people recognize his bearish, jovial figure on the street and greet him. “They’re always nice,” he says. “Maybe that’s because they know I’m probably armed.”

Weapons training (not just guns) with self-defence should be a course in high skool.
Speaking of on-camera violence, the Toronto Sun cameraman who was smacked in the head filed a police report and the cops arrested some turd.

What I want to know is why the officers standing right there did not arrest him on the spot!
Because they are afraid of starting something.
“I asked whether there would be guns in heaven,” said the journalist, who had obviously tracked down Correia for the sole purpose of libelling him as a gun-happy fanatic.
A far better answer than that given by Correia would have been, “Whatever for? There are no journalists there to provoke the saints with stupid questions.”
I see -0- inconsistency with (my understanding) of God’s Word. In fact, I believe this Pastor/Youtuber has got Christ’s “turn the cheek” admonition EXACTLY right. He has it right by advising not to get into the ego-driven “monkey game” with assailants. Give him your car. Give him your wallet. Back off and don’t escalate the situation. So when Christ tells you to “turn the other cheek” … he is saying “check your ego” … don’t engage your assailant. At least not until it becomes a deadly situation, where your life is in imminent harm. Christ does NOT tell you to sacrifice yourself to murderers. To interpret his words that way is just suicidally stupid … and Christ/God does not sanction suicide.
I really like what this man is doing. So much so that I am going to watch his videos and learn some tips. As I get older … it is inevitable that I start looking more and more like a victim. The weaker of the herd. I’m not saying I am anywhere near feeble, nor do I project the body language of a victim, but gray hair is like a trigger in the reptile brain of bad guys … it is a cue for them to ‘take a shot’. Best that I prepare myself to remain vigilant and capable. I may also follow his specific armament advice. No need for the ‘big gun’ … just an ‘effective’ one.
Situational awareness is the best defense. You really need cash, late at night, or a fresh pack of smokes? Don’t be a target, go straight home. Always keep a $20 somewhere else Mr Stickemup won’t look, if caught out. Don’t be caught out. Homeward bound before last call, or last bus. I got rousted by more cops late at night, waiting for a bus in big city Canaduh, then by folks with other ideas.
Hey Peter, go get your sword. If you haven’t got a sword, but have two cloaks, sell a cloak and buy a sword. Don’t use it to defend Me, or to attack those who are taking Me away, but make sure you have a sword. (paraphrased)
Sounds to me like you got it right, Kenji.
hi kenji.
I started with the grey hair in my mid 20s.
about the same time I started weight lifting and packed on 40 pounds of muscle.
that’s when I was a young man with a family to watch over. it worked.
now I wander around with a part bull mastiff on the leash.
same effect. I still hit the weight room. I jokingly call it the ‘wait’ room, now I need a wee bit of incentive to heft the cast iron.
I am also piecing together what needs to be done to break a whole bunch of my personal records, including for instance max total weight for one workout which is 100 tons.
Just my .5 cents worth.
From military training- Never, Ever, spend split seconds bringing the gun up to your eyesight.
Learn to shoot a pistol or rifle from your hip. If you decide to shoot, and I hope you never have to, a second wasted can get you killed, especially during an ambush.
Practice with a BB gun so as not to waste ammunition. Always put the safety on during practice and practice- remembering to take it off. Many honest citizens walk around with the safety on, and then during a crisis they forget about it being on. Several more wasted seconds, You can bet the criminal will have his off.
A little bragging- My grandchildren can put 4 out of 6 BB’s from the hip into a man sized target 10 meters away.
Who cares if you shoot him in the leg?
