I was a cop for 23 yrs. I never considered holding a position at the top of the stairs and wait for law enforcement. Makes a hell of a lot of sense. Thanks
I don’t understand how this is possible
I had to clear my house one night. Turned out to be a moose bumping its head against the basement window eating shrubs. It actually made me realize my inadequacies, such as not having a weapon light. I bought one right away and practiced some more.
That "hands free" on/off was key.
I'm super impressed and happy to see this instructor advising barricading in a position of dominance and not leaving the known for the unknown. Too many people think they're going to go John Wick and clear their entire house single-handedly. I'm not saying that's impossible to do, just that it is not the most prudent course of action in most cases.
When you put yourself in the burglar’s perspective they have the advantage when you come downstairs. They can hide or be in a position waiting for you to pop out and your basically dead
@@LEONTAE704 Especially when you blinking lights first and letting them know you coming downstairs.
I watched all John Wick movies and the mini series The Continental. I bought every weapon he uses in the movies and sleep with a black suit. So, you gonna tell me, that I’m not John Wick? 😉
@@LEONTAE704 100% you also don't really know how many intruders there are, if they are armed/and what with, their proficiency, or motive.
Using an ambush spot at a choke point, and using loud verbals, "get out, I am armed, police are on they way, if you try to come the stairs I will shoot" - particularly when 911 on speaker phone is hearing/recording all of this - will go a long way in the investigation if you are forced to pull the trigger when they are on the stairs.

Nothing wrong with a shotgun for home defense. Before the dawn of the AR/AK, a shotgun was the number one choice for almost everyone back in the day.

I only have a flintlock musket gun well had one but sadly it got lost in a boating accident as well.🤕
It is smart and very important to stay upstairs or in your room after the family and pets are secure. Lights out and give the dispatcher your address, say home invasion and let dispatch know you are leaving the ph on speaker on the floor and that you have a firearm what type rifle/ handgun and brief description of yourself While keeping your sight and focus and position and ready to defend yourself and family. I have been through this.
I too like to keep the first floor of my house completely empty of any items or property. -Just remember to install a heavy door & reinforced door frame at the stairs!
Install parapets on your home so you can shoot at them from the 2nd floor.
Reject modernity, embrace Gothicism!
It is called Home Field Advantage. You have all the time to setup your home defense. Create/map ambush points. Install cameras, alarms and emergency lighting. Drill your plan with your family. And for goodness sake DO NOT try to clear your home alone. Stay in the ambush spot and wait for your opportunity.
@@papimaximus95 If your home isn't designed like a base in the game 'Rimworld' then you're not doing it right.

I don’t run a shotgun for home defense because I don’t own any guns, that changes at the end of the month because I’m saving for a glock 19 build for my 21st birthday.
Even just a standard gen3 glock 19 is plenty. I got a glock 23 the day I turned 21 and wish i got the 19. They are great for the range, the house, and the car but a bit big for concealed carry unless maybe if you are a bigger guy. I’m built like a toothpick so it’s not realistic to conceal. The 23 has a very snappy recoil. 9mm is easier and cheaper to shoot. Any gun that can take 9mm+P ammo is more than enough for self defense.
also get a surefire light for it
Did you get that Glock 19 brother
@@justanordinarydude6097 that I did. But I’m prioritizing saving up for my own place so I’ve just been training with it stock and not worrying about the build yet.
@@Lancersilvacongrats, and luckily 9mm is stupid cheap, around .27 cents per round on psa website. Get some snap caps and all that stuff but it’s a good tool man so I’m glad for you
Mossberg 500 is my home defense go to, loaded with 00 Buck… and my Glock 17 as my backup.
I went the cheap route and got the Mossberg Mav 88 with 00 buck, but confident it would get the job done
Finally someone with some sense to hold up and not leave your wingman(wife/kids). Had this discussion with the wife and my neighbor long time ago. Neighbor wanted to charge off General Custer style and engage but I told him why would you leave your wife alone and give up the ambush advantage.
Exactly. Why go “hunting”? I have a two story house and my plan is to get the wife to a secure area where she can call 911. Bad guys can have whatever they want downstairs but the stairwell is No Man’s Land. They start making their way up, they’re getting blasted.
@@JT.45 I have a better plan upon them entering my house I am only going to ask them one question "Who else knows you are here?" ...
@@Edge51love it 🤣🤣🤣
Great video!
I’m in the military and spent some time working for DHS…cut the pie and don’t over penetrate (especially with your muzzle). Lastly, once you secure some space, step into it and own it.
The only reason why I wouldn’t use a shotgun if I’m alone is because I have to dedicate both hands to it. With a handgun, I can aim my gun and use the other hand for a flashlight or open doors etc. If I’m attacked, I can hopefully use one hand to fend off to create distance, then operate my weapon.
You let all those millions of illegals thru.
@@OtherSideOfTheFenceFor some reason, I don't think that one random DHS agent is responsible for the entire border crisis. Take it up with the corrupt leadership, not this one dude.
Butt stroke to the head, move!!!!
Remember that? Or did they drop rifle and bayonet drills in the "military?" I remember being trained how to beat the shit out of enemy combatants with my rifle 😂 You make valid points, but the average person will have more success with a shotgun at 0 dark 30 waking up to intruders, imo. The sound of a shotgun slide followed by a 12 ga blast will deter most.
@@Fishy_FR
Depends if he was one of the agents opening the gates to wave them through
@@josedorsaith5261 Of course, I was just pointing out that this one dude probably isn't single handedly responsible for the border crisis as a whole

Mr. Noir you came a long way since your glock 21 review. Thank you sir,

Handgun & AR15 is my home defense. I have a Mossberg Shockwave for my truck in addition to my 9mm that I carry.
There's a good argument for those Turkish bullpup shotguns; they are a lot handier than a standard-layout shotgun in confined spaces. Being able to clear a doorway without having to take the stock off your shoulder is useful. And the weight-balance makes it easy to shoulder it with one hand, allowing you to use your free hand to open doors/call police/ect.
Got to get me a Turkish bullpup, they’re so freaking amazing! 🤘🏻
I actually do run an ATI bulldog for home defense. The short package is very nice.
Yea I have the Tokarev TBP M12 and I love it. Compact enough to easily maneuver in tight hallways. M-lok and p rail for attachments and can be found for under $400
@@Valhalla_Heathen Apparently they don't hold up very well long term (around 15k rounds or so), and some of them don't cycle great with low-brass loads, but having a couple 5rd mags of your home defense load of choice is pretty effective. I use #4 turkey shot.
The 10rd mags you can get are a bit bulky and don't usually feed well, but they are also an option if you can get them to work.
19’s can be used as monopod🤷🏼♂️
3:33 Huge error in this video. I am not no navy seal by all means, but if you have your barrel sticking out that far and the person is on the other side of the wall from where you’re standing, he can quickly grab that muzzle and wrestle you for that gun.
DJ and Cole two navy seals here on this platform said the same thing about this same scenario. Never show your muzzle because it gives out your location and puts you in jeopardy.
Amen to that advise
@@philipruggiero7146👍🏽
DJ and Cole are awesome to watch. Those guys are very informative on close quarters combat
Got that info from Mike Glover
Out of context, the guy heard noises from the first floor, he is not room clearing so in this situation, it's fine.
@@chltmdwp how do you know there are multiple people and one got upstairs without him noticing? Just because you heard the noise downstairs doesn’t mean there’s someone already upstairs.
In situations like this, you have to make all possible scenarios count and at the end of the day this is bad muzzle practice.
This is why it’s so vital to describe yourself and your firearm to dispatch so they have at least some awareness of what you look like / who you are and don’t kill you during their adrenaline rush…if you have the time of course
Wow i never thought about closing all the doors before you go to sleep. I live by myself so if a door is open something is amiss. Great advice
One thing I like to recommend to people for self defense besides from having your defensive weapon by your bedside is you should also have by your bedside some ear protection. I have the Walker Razors, so with those I can turn them on while on my head and amplify my hearing while I protect my hearing too. Its a great tool to have to hear what the hell is going on around your house. It also does not hurt to have a suppressor to add on to your weapon to extend the ability in protecting your hearing just a bit more.😉
@andrewtaylor7269 Technically true, your hearing would be protected.
I go with both. Muffs and a can with subs. Make sure wife and/or kids know where to go and what to do
Walkers razor muffs are good, I like the pair I have a lot. I'll put mine on when I have to go fire some shots at coyotes in the yard.
@andrewtaylor7269 "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY"
Hearing protection is a very good idea if you have the time to retreive them, get them on and turn them on.
I do try to practice the above as much as I can.
However, if time or circumstances do not allow, solve the problem and you can deal with any hearing issues tomorrow or when you and your family are safe.
I have two units that I use.
The Razors and MTS Supreme Pro X.
I find the MTS allow for directional sound location much better than the Razors.
I am not sure if the Razors allow you to be able to tell the origin of sound or not?
They don't seem to for me?
The MTS unit lets me determine where the sound came from and protect my hearing and bearing better for me.
However, I would rather have the Razors on than nothing as they do an excellent job of hearing protection.
You have been an amazing influence, since I started to conceal carry/own fire arms🙏🏼🙏🏼
What has he influenced ?
First safety. Second knowledge of OUR rights
@@marcusharley3064can't be a serious question.
I trained home defense with a a shotgun and light setup also a pistol and light setup. Thank you Colion for posting this training video it was both informative and useful. 👍👍👍
A lot of home invasion videos that I've seen show multiple preps scattering in all directions really fast. Just because you heard the clumsy one downstairs, doesn't mean quiet ones aren't already upstairs. Most high value items are kept in the master bedroom or office. The instructor never respected his six. I get the positional dominance that the top of the stairs gives, but you are at increased threat getting there from places the perps could already be at on the second floor, or up from the stairwell as he walked past it to clear the 2nd floor.
Retreating with the others to the closet where the shot gun was seems far wiser,. You posting at the closet door with only the shotgun, a small portion of your arm, and your right eye exposed, and the others down and out of sight behind you, would be far more defensible. The perp would have to open and pass through the bedroom door, the fatal funnel, and since he doesn't expect you to be there because you haven't exposed yourself by flashing flashlights everywhere, and because he's amped up and on the clock, he won't be expecting you, you can wreck him with the shotgun instantaneously, with the rest of the perps likely scattering like cochroachs. All this without exposing yourself, the others, or your position to the bad guys. Your male ego may not like giving up it's moment of glory, but your family not having to bury you might be a good trade off.
It is good to pratice clearing your house, both from your perspective, then from the perps perspective, then back again, is vital, in case you have go to someone or something in another room, but room, or building clearing, especially by yourself, is a bitch, especially if you give the perp any idea where you are.
Also consider lighting. You can set up little plug-in night lights that will backlight the perps but not you. Inside security cameras like Ring act as alarms, but also let you know how many and where the perps are. You have to weigh their advantage against the potential loss of privacy and other issues if your system gets hacked by criminals on both sides of the government. (Government v non-government actors. It's a shame this even has to be brought up these days.)
I was concerned that he never paid any attention to the stairwell to his back that was open to downstairs, if an armed intruder happened to be at the bottom stairs, he’d be dead
Also that half wall makes much better cover than that post and that corner by the bedroom door would be one of the better vantage points down the stairs as you would immediately be above there head and while they accended would probably have their back to you.
I run all three for home defense. Nothing wrong with some diversity. of course rifle and shotgun not at the same time but they’re both easily accessible if I was to reach for either one 👍🏽

Absolutely awesome video,very informative, Im 72yo woman that would love to get a gun for safety in home ,but no clue what kind I could use??❤ thank you and God bless all of you!
Consider finding a home self defense course taught by a qualified trainer. They should spend time on hardening your house, firearms selection, ammunition, etc. A 20 gauge shotgun or a .22 rifle would be good places to start.
The only thing I had for home defense at the start of the pandemic/riots/election season of 2020 was a New England Firearms Pardner. It's a single barrel, break-open 20 gauge shotgun. I regretted selling it because I've had that shotgun since I was a child, but I needed something more suitable for home defense at the time and didn't have that much money.
I traded in the Pardner for a 12 guage pump shotgun. When my ARts and crafts project was finally finished, that 12 guage was traded in to take a chunk out of the Vortex SPARC red dot sight's price tag and that rifle has been my home defense gun ever since.
Is there anything you would risk life or limb for? PlayStation! Mans got his priorities right
Well I mean have you seen the prices on those? 😂
Colion,
You are awesome man!
Thanks for making this video, because not everyone uses an AR for Home Defense. This is valuable info for sure.
A very diplomatic way of saying that when the cops show up there's every possibility that they'll be panicky trigger happy amateurs screaming unreasonable orders at the homeowner.
"This is getting out of hand... now there are two criminals!"
goose-in-uniform
That looked like good advice. The problem is 99% of the time you hear something downstairs and it turns out to be nothing at all.
Love these training style videos as well as ur gun reviews. I want to get a CCW and your videos help me be prepared on what i need to know having zero family members that have a firearm. I want to protect those close to me and i really appreciate your content!
For me.. it depends on which room i happened to be. 2 rifles in bedroom, glock 17 in bathroom, 12g panzer M2, living room has glock 21, and my carry gun.. g19
Say hi to the ATF agents seeing this right now hope you don’t have any dogs at home
Be careful with bathroom guns, the humidity will hurt them more than dirt and you don't want a malfunction when you're naked.
OPSEC Violation.
The moisture in the bathroom is why you buy a stainless steel hand gun.
Just keep your powder dry...
Kinda like my set up....guns in every room..
This was great! I have shotguns and handguns as well. So this was informative in case i run with shotguns. Thank you for the content.
Definitely top 5 guntuber on the platform. He does things for the 2A movement that’s just invaluable. Everyone should share his videos .
I appreciate him mentioning that clearing a building works differently if you're solo. The risk factor of moving out of a secured position when there's no-one to watch your back is very bad.
I always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and fight the good fight for gun rights not just in the US, but for all law abiding gun owners all over the world.
He makes a 100% valid point. When law enforcement arrives, they have 0.0% knowledge of who is who.
Wow that open starway is a nightmare at the top while clearing with a longgun. Practice runs are key in your home!! Thanks for the vid Sir!!!
I hope you know how truly appreciated you are Colion. It'd be awesome to get to shoot with you one day
It takes a deputies 20 minutes to get from one end of the county to the next end and only 1 or 2 are covering 325 sq. miles.

I thought this said CLEAN your house. Good info but my house is still dirty.
I have a bull pup 12 gauge shotgun and a .45 acp plus my edc and A ar -15 pistol but I do love my 12 gauge thanks for the tips I’m single and live in a single story home. Great information
Thank you for bringing this to the public. I run a shotgun for home defense and I learned a few things. Again thanks
Best advice I can give to home defense with a shotgun.
Get a Nam era claymore bag. They where made to hold two claymores with a shoulder strap.
Fill one pocket with slugs, one pocket with buckshot. Grab it anytime you grab the the gun for home defense, or drills.
You never know how many people there are in an attack, what if your gun tube runs out and you haven't eliminated the multiple threats.
Throw the claymore bag on an you're good to go. Make sure to practice shooting moving and reloading on your shotgun.
Don't run a shotgun I'd mine. Why struggle in tight spaces when your range is 15ft. Also just cause it can work doesn't mean it has too
@@alexgrinage I lost my guns In an unfortunate boating accident. If I'm good in 4 more years I can have my god given 2nd amendment right uninfringed.
But bet your ass if TSHTF or there's an anarchy/police strike or ovverran. I will be armed with.22 with lots and lots of ammo. There wont be ammo after a month if that scenario lasts a while. .22 is best way to carry maximum rounds.
And of course my Remington 12 gauge.
@AnonMedic that's not true If s*** hits the fan, how would you run out of rounds? Are you clearing houses. Let's say you have 2-3 thousand rounds. You literally make no sense
Would love to see the same thing for single story homes, awesome video as always
Like the barricade scenario. Never go looking for trouble unless you’re assuring a loved one is safe.
I recently picked up a 1301 thanks for this series.
I would recommend high ready over low ready if you have small kids. It also gives you more control over your gun. Bringing it over the shoulder is basically a non-shooting position and easier to take if someone does get their hand on it around the corner.
It is absolutely a shooting position. It is known as “short stocking”. It allows for a compressed shooting solution with a long gun in a CQB environment. If you use “push-pull” technique there is still plenty of recoil mitigation too. I’ve seen some even advocate for short stocking ARs while room clearing vs high/low ready.
This is great for a two floor home.What about a one level home. Also great advice for when the police show up
Safe basic principle applies, gather your loved ones and hold down a hallway or something
who tf is knocking down refrigerators in a home invasion? lmao
I have seen plenty of your videos and this one made me subscribe. Awesome work.
This is why AR pistols are perfect for home protection you can easily clear tight spaces and be cleanly accurate and precise without damaging your home. A shotgun is cool but I don’t think it’s the best option .
Your ears are done after using an AR pistol indoors. Enjoy the silence (for the rest of your life). 😬
@@OGsDangerShow And if you put a suppressor on an AR pistol it's almost a carbine anyway. Better to keep electronic muffs handy, and they'll help you hear better as a bonus.
Doesn't matter what your primary is a shotgun or a rifle you should always have a pistol with you as a secondary as well. You can also have a distinguish colored shirt that you sleep in - so the police know what you're wearing 👍🏻
Duly noted. Got to change your frame of mind. You’ve achieved success. You have the advantage, upstairs, armed and have a phone and are communicating with outside help which is en route. Don’t be so willing to jump into the fire.
Just a couple of thoughts on the training. If you are going to stay upstairs, I would use everything possible to give yourself the advantage. Open that closet door so it is in the walkway right off the stairs and give a little more cover. It also lets you know when they are encroaching because the door can be seen moving. Then take cover in the little area next to the closet door to help protect yourself some more.
So, I totally read that thumbnail caption as "cleaning" and not "clearing". Couple that with the thumbnail itself appearing to be a guy looking at that hard to reach corner of the living room celling, I was getting excited that Colion was going to introduce a new shell that would safely blast away cobwebs with air or something.
I am disappoint.
"Cleaning up the streets"
Bad advice: Set phone down with an open line = everything you say, can & will be used against you in court and played for your jury.
Great video. When he said stay up there and don't complicate things. Great information.
I thought this said "cleaning your home with a shotgun" 😅
That’s why I own a musket for home defense just as the founding fathers intended. Failing that I can resort to a cannon mounted at the top of my stairs loaded with grapeshot.
No need to resort to the cannon, just pour the caldron of boiling oil on the intruders if they try to come up.
Kids, Kids! Being well prepared and having the family trained is a great defense multiplier!
You need to see the crocodile infested moat with drawbridge encircling our home. If anyone overcomes that, then my son's a reliable archer and wife is handy with the Hoe! My spear throwing ability has reached 20th century level! The barbarians won't have a prayer!

ALWAYS happy to see and watch these instructive videos. They give you food for thought, perhaps even helping you refine your plan for your situation and improve upon it. One thing that they all have in common is "avoidance first and foremost" (stay put) Today's society's outlook has changed drastically, appearing to favor the criminal over your right to protect oneself and loved ones. Even if you are found innocent of wrongdoing the expense will be overwhelming, and I haven't mentioned civil court on top of it. Pre-planning and knowledge are always better than flying by the seat of your pants when a threat arises.
Great advice , thanks to Both of you for staying grounded and being realistic about your role in this situation.
Have my home defenses spread around the house. Shotgun on top of the keys of piano with covered keys. Have a 9MM stuck under the coffee table with a magnet. From my recline chair I can reach it with my right arm. Not telling for the rest.
I do like a big entry
Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know. I really appreciate this video and will run this drill with my family. Thank you for this
Really enjoyed this concept , would love to see a video for Home Defense with a Rifle and also one with a Pistol (Even though I’m sure the concepts are universal no matter what you use for self defense)
Why allow them to get inside before you act? Outdoor motion detection sensors are a must around the entire permitter of your home so that you are alerted as they are approaching and before they enter. Most home invaders take minutes before actually breaking in. Meet / surprise / attack / give them firepower before they ever get in. The threat should remain outside.
Yeah that's the main "loophole" I'm not a fan on with castle doctrine - I'd love to live on a large property so any would-be criminal has to 'cross the line' a few dozen meters down the yard.
@@precisedime1377 To be honest I had to look up castle doctrine.
I live in Oakland, California and I can tell you this... I am firing the Glock if they appear at any entry point the moment a door knob is wiggled, door kicked, window is broken or attempted to be pushed open.
I will proudly deal with the ridiculous ultra democrat legal system we have here alive while my wife and kids will be unharmed.
Motion detection is the way to go as each sensor loudly alerts us with different a sounds allowing me head straight to wherever they arrive without having to clear rooms as shown here.
This seems quite reactive vs. pro-active especially considering we are heavy sleepers and invaders are quiet.

Thank you for the education. Smart to stay safe away from the threat and putting yourself in the position to defend your family if need be.

Great job. Would like to see a part two going over what to do when your family sleeps on multiple levels of a house. Thanks!

Buy a better house.
“Law enforcement is coming…” uh-huh. Not in our area. They just show up to fill out a report.
Love it ! Need more of this. Great video brother
great commentary @Colion!
I run 6 M18A1’s all around my house, 3 of them are on Roomba so they kinda go around the house. It’s kinda like it’s own automated system. All I need to worry about is the mess afterwards.
That's what the Roomba is for, bro!
Roomba mounted machine guns is a solid idea but so is just mounting a light on it for the confusion it would cause 😆
clearing a building with anything that big is more trouble than its worth. While I believe your should be able to do it as a American citizen, I would still rather clear a house with something like a handgun that is less of an encumbrance than that of a handgun. I hated clearing house with an M4 in iraq because it was always getting caught on things, bumping into something, or knocking things over, when I wouldve just perferred something lighter and easier to handle, like an m1911.
Edit: I would also like to point that anything you use in home defense is the thing that will be confiscated as evidence so, it is better to use something inexpensive, that you dont really care about. handguns should generally be cheaper than shotguns simply because of less materials used.
Cheap you say?
So we should bring back M1 'grease guns' for home clearing. Cheap and effective!
I like this video. The long gun I am most proficent with is my M4. I have that and my .40 as my home defense. Clearing with a Shotgun is what I am most interested in and this helped me a lot.
An excellent video and information, this doesn't change my home defense strategy because check that family is upstairs then setup at the top of the stairs was already the plan. Something important to add that he did already hit on but didn't outright say is the first rule of clearing rooms is don't, so don't clear anything you don't have to because no matter how good you are it is dangerous even more so solo.
2:59 The least believable part was how quickly the shotgun was retrieved "out of the gun safe."
I think we can all read between the lines on that one.
Thank you for showing these drills. I've always believed the rack of a shotgun is one and only warning to anyone that enters my home. But he is right that so long as the irreplaceable aspects of my life are safe and secured, the rest is just stuff. I can buy a new TV, Xbox, and Computer. Downside is that this drill won't work for my single floor 7 room home.
I think a shout of "HONEY GET MY RATTLER AND THE LUBE IT'S TIME!" would be a far more alarming warning to an intruder.
Maybe I'm just not paying a high-end enough insurance plan, but my insurance doesn't just magically have a free identical replacement for every single possible thing I own...
I mean even if they DID somehow have an identical copy of everything in my house I would probably have some very major questions at that point.
.410/.45LC Rossi "Circuit Judge" 5 shots revolver shot gun with 1-2 Winchester .410 PDX1, 3-5.45LC. Light/laser on rail. FOR inside breacher.
OBTW. Exterior perimeter lights (friggin BRIGHT) motion sensor. To discourage any penetration. Inside the house. No Buenos. No rules.
You can also shorten the LOP if you have adjustable stock, makes handling tight spaces much easier.
"What's your preferred home cleaning implement?
Broom, feather duster, vacuum?"
- "Shotgun."
I prefer clearing my house with a tear gas cannister, gas mask, and tomahawk..
I just imagine some startled survivor running back to his homies and describing you as some sort of hood cryptid.
I get whatever I can get my hands on quicker. Good insights

If you are a burglar walking around a dark house you aren't supposed to be in, there's nothing like the sound of a pump shotgun racking a round to evacuate your bowels.
Sucha Joe Biden answer lol
@@limaballeven a broken clock is right twice a day lol
By shucking a shotgun you just told the perp wear you're at
@@limaball He did tell us all to get one.
@@dennisjones9044 like he's going to stand a chance at a weapon that's already pointed at him.
I see no reason I'm clearing my house. That sounds like a whole lot of legal trouble.
But I'm glad to show the pros and especially cons of it.
Check and see if your state has a castle doctrine. Maybe take a defensive weapon class and have the instructor explain your legal rights
True, lock door, stay in room, point gun at door.
Huh? So you'll just wait around for someone to greet you in your bedroom so you can give them a tour?
"This isn't my house."
And that’s your right as long as you know the local laws and that your family is safe.
If I don’t need to engage, it’s probably better that I don’t, especially if LEOs are on the way so I don’t get mistaken as one of the criminals. If it’s a ranch house or your family members are in different rooms all bets are off.
I know how to handle my home, regardless of the situation, and everyone else should too.
i had a false alarm one day after working night shift. i seriously thought someone was in the house. that Mossberg really brings some comfort when your heart is at 170bpm like he said.
Very good video shows exactly what you should do in any home invasion scenario regardless of the fire arm your running.
Biden says you only need a double barrel shotgun lol
The biggest advantage that a shotgun has over an rifle or handgun is that from 25 feet away, improved cylinder #4 shot it's going to have a 8-10 inch spread and the noise isn't a deafening as a high powered rifle. added benefit is that you don't have an over penetration problem. The round won't penetrate 2 sheets of drywall and a batt of fiberglass insulation.
Having fired both inside of a AR and a 12 gauge inside a structure, the explosion and muzzle flash on a 223 is deafening .
Remington made a folding stock for the 870 Wingmaster shotgun. It's short so no issue with clearing a room.
Kel Tec KSG, 15 shells 👌
I really like your how to videos and the tips, tricks, training videos. The go well with your reviews and 2A content .
I feel this is a good lesson regardless of the choice of weapon for defense, same principles can be applied to using a rifle or handgun
35 second police response lol
Do they have Minority-Report crime precognition?
Otherwise I don't see how that's possible.
Where I live law enforcement could be half an hour away,they can't be depended on at all.
"IF they show up" is always a great statement.
Ah, so you live somewhere between "everywhere" and "anywhere"
I have been dying for this video, so happy I stumbled upon it
glad you talked about this! thank you!
Kayla Giles deserved better than what the USCCA treater her, who was a client.
Story?
@ChanceandChoice Kayla Giles had USCCA insurance when she shot her estranged husband in fear for her life. She chose a lawyer through USCCA and that lawyer said it was a good case for self defense. The insurance company disregarded her lawyers POV and prior to her getting to trial, removed coverage. Therefore, she, who had paid for coverage from the USCCA, did not receive what she had paid for and had to go get another lawyer to fight her case. She lost the case but that should not matter as the case was not decided upon when the USCCA removed her coverage prior to trial commencing.
@Bogo___ thanks for your response. Sucks that insurance companies pull shit like that.
@@ChanceandChoice exactly. If you can’t be confident in what you’re getting, what’s the point in having it. Personally I’m cancelling my USCCA membership
@Bogo___ call me skeptical, but it always seemed like a scam to me, so I never got any insurance. Chances in the US are fairly slim of using a weapon in self defense anyway, their insurance isn't a guarantee of protection from prosecution, so I'd rather save up money for a retainer fee. It's not cheap, but it's a much better bet on our part. But in the meantime I'm just banking on not getting into an altercation, just like they are.
