This guy actually did the "call a medic, but not for me" routine. Thank god it worked he seems like a nice old man that never wanted to hurt anyone but was placed in a situation where he had no choice.
Waited his turn. Defended his wife, his life. An American. A human with a base survival instinct and balls. That's about the size of it. Sir, your life, your wife's life... You have nothing to apologize or feel remorse for. Your humble demeanor speaks volumes. May God bless you and yours.
I've shot someone, but they didnt die. I was young and dumb I was carrying ball ammo, I just didnt know better. At the police station I asked the investigator if the guy made it, he said if I were using hollow points he wouldnt have made it to the hospital with a pulse. Anyways I've thought less about it over the years but the dreams dont go away. Sometimes they are skewed, one night I feel like a murderer, and some I feel like I did just fine, or that I should have shot him more because he and his family attempted to sue me into poverty. Getting drug through the court system sucks
dick fitzwelliner we can all learn something from you sir. I had to shoot someone with pistol when my rifle went dry. I had to do a transition. That qalat wall to hallway I will never forget how the layout was. Thanks for sharing, sir.
@Old Iron yeah it is tough, and I didnt even kill the guy. It costs a lot of money to fight the civil case. Now I never carry fmj, im a 9mm guy, all of my carry guns and my work gun have hst's in them.
Old Iron use JHPs and you’ll get expansion and still retain the stopping power. However, you will loose kinetic energy because it’s a slower heavier round compared to the 9mm or .40.
Most people live in denial concerning these things. They hear about it on the news but believe it will never happen to them,. Funny thing is these same people are so concerned about mass shootings they are willing to vote away their and the rights of others to defend themselves. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being a victim of a mass shooting while being shot in a simple one on one crime happens everyday. If there is a single act of violence it's a tragedy, if it happens everyday it's a statistic.
Mine, as well. The older I get, the more disturbing this waste of life becomes. There are ways of preventing much of this, but in our pc culture, honesty is verboten.
He is truly a humble man of solid character. This is one of the most amazing interviews I've ever watched. Thank you and God bless this fine man and his wife.
Everyone should see this. A nice, humble hard working guy. He and his wife would be dead if not for his carrying a concealed weapon. A person helping a community that try's to rob and kill him. How do you thumbs down a man protecting himself and his wife? WTF
Dear Sir, I have so much to say I can’t put it all into this text. I worked at a convenient store that cashed payroll checks. and on January 13 of 2015 three men came into my store withGuns blazing two made it in the store. I drop them where they stood and the other one was arrested later that evening. I feel terrible that they put me in the position that I had to defend myself. I relive that moment every night in my dreams. But I would do it again to save myself and the customers that were there that night.
Those nightmares are relieving some of this strain, little by little. I know it's a hellish thing to go through. If you can find a decent counselor, you may find relief comes much faster. The more the emotion is repressed, the bigger problem it will cause you. Good luck to you.
It’s a shame this gentleman had to go thru this. The positive: This man made the world a better place. Anytime we rid our communities of dangerous criminals, it’s a good day.
A REAL husband and American citizen!!!! Don’t feel bad for dogshit!!! Just scrape it off your shoe and move on! You prevented it from finding its way into someone else’s yard and on their shoe. Excellent work!
Do people like you not understand that people in other countries don't need to have to do what he did because there are no guns? Like why do you choose to make other people live what he lived through because you keep guns in the hands of criminals? This doesn't happen in places like the UK. This doesn't happen in Japan.

Those who have been tested under fire seldom pound their chest, unlike the armchair quarterbacks and drugstore cowboys who talk like they would be Rambo if given the opportunity. I have observed the phenomenon of shrinking courage, and have personally been left standing alone when others should have been by my side. (I do not mean to imply that this happened in combat, although I did serve.) There certainly are bold and outspoken people who do rise to the occasion, but they seem to be the exception. Now consider this man: humble, reserved, and a force to be reckoned with when duty calls. You are so right when you say, "Pray it doesn't happen to you," and yet I expect you know and accept the responsibilities that you could someday face. In my foolish youth I wanted (but was spared) the ultimate conflict. Now I pray (literally and specifically) that I never have to take another man's life.
What a professional. Showing this to any people who tell me carrying a gun is paranoia. The interviewer annoyed me though. He didnt sounded like he cared.
This man did a great job of protecting himself and his wife. He's lucky he is in the USA because if he was in canada he would be doing 2 life sentences.
Glad this gentleman is still with his wife. Gun laws didn't stop these vermin from their crimes. I don't know of any criminals looking to kill who are respectful of magazine or gun laws.
Not only that but they've already made up their mind to be okay with MURDER, a much more severe offense than breaking any "law" about magazine size. That's why we have laws against certain actions, not objects.
Yeah Reece, Ain’t that AMAZING - Criminals Don’t obey laws, wtf 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏾♂️ OK the rest of you goobers - be sorry for these two swine. Kill ‘em ALL & let God sort ‘em out! 👍🏼
He saved more than 2 people because have they succeeded who knows who their next victim would 've been. God bless you sir and I am glad you and your wife are alive.
This man did most everything he did properly He gave each thug a serving before going around to deliver seconds. And he properly delivered a serving to the second thug even though no weapon was visible. He continued to fire until both threats were neutralized. This man should not feel bad about his actions. No telling how much grief he spared others in the future by removing the two from society. They could have gone on to rob and kill scores of others. He didn't plan on shooting anyone that day. He was forced into an impromptu gunfight, and was the Victor despite the odds against him. He should feel proud to have prevailed.
That's what it's all about at 8:45! I feel bad for the dead guys, but I'd feel even worse if my wife was dead! That's it plain and simple!! And just like him, I go outside my firearm goes with me EVERYWHERE!!
His amazing sorrow and regret likely helped detectives see their way clear to letting him go easily, but his phone blurt, "I just shot two guys...." without explaining anything of why, reinforces the advice we hear Don't talk much to the police--just a rough outline, as, "That guy was going to kill us (or whatever)! And there's the evidence! And that person(s) is a/are witnesses! I will sign a statement/complaint and cooperate fully--BUT I do not wish to talk more until I contact my attorney." Something like that. Mas Ayoob gives exc. advice along that line.

God bless you sir. Very sorry you had to experience such a thing, but very thankful you had the proper tool to get the job done and protect yourself and your spouse.
Really a nice gentleman. Trying to make nice places for people to live and have a "pretty place". The diversionary tactic was pivotal but him talking about fixing things and just being a decent person really stands out to me. Godspeed.
It took the cops 2 hours of interrogation to come to the conclusion that this was self defense!? No doubt they were looking for something to charge this poor guy with.
Anytime there is a homicide, justified or not, there is a pretty big process involved and a LOT of questions. You have to keep in mind, that he killed 2 people and if they don't do their investigation the right way, the liberal media would be all over everyone involved and make the shitbags out to be the victims. Where this guy messed up, was talking to them without a lawyer present, because if the investigators had bad intentions they could've made him talk himself into manslaughter charge.
Salute to this Gentleman!!! He did what he had to do to protect him and his wife. As for the goofball robbers.....YOU PLAY STUPID GAMES, YOU WIN STUPID PRIZES!!!
@aerodog2 Your seemingly paranoid explanation doesn't hold water and there's no evidence that it does, except what you have read or constructed to be the truth. The Democrats and some Republicans feel that the following items (and others) will reduce deaths by gunfire: making stricter laws regarding the time period of waiting (so that a thorough background check can be completed), eliminating AR15s and the like so that these highly effective weapons are less likely to be used in mass killings, preventing those that appear to be dangerous and armed from using their weapons (legally obtained), applying the rules of gun purchasing to gun shows so to eliminate an easier way to obtain these weapons and more. I believe that, though these rules may have some effect, they are, for the most part, misinformed for many reasons: a large number of deaths by firearm is due to suicide and gang/drug related activities. The weapons have been either legally obtained (usually, well before the actual suicide and, therefore, outside the range of these well intended legal suggestions) or illegally obtained in which case mere laws most probably won't work as they haven't done so to date because criminals will be able to bypass them. Though some , and in a few districts many, Democrats (and some Republicans) want to confiscate or make it ridiculously difficult to legally obtain guns their reasons don't have to do with not allowing the public to protect itself from "big government" but, rather, from protecting oneself from criminals and other people with ill intent. I think the intent of reducing gun related criminal acts is something almost all of us could agree to, the question is HOW CAN THAT BE DONE without issuing more guns as the solution?
You are correct to shoot till the threat is no more. There is no substitute for a combat mindset and perfect training. Drawing and moving off the X gives you an incredible advantage. Action always beats reaction and I have found criminals love to run their mouth...if you are talking, you aren't ready to fight. You should always look for an opportunity to act but that opportunity may never come and you have to act in a second. If you can quickly present your weapon while moving and accurately shoot...very few criminals stand a chance. Those are odds I am willing to bet my life on...the other choice is to depend on the mercy of the bad guys. That is never an option.
Dennis Jiy-Min Khoo - killing someone, justified or not, sucks. It’s pretty fuckin annoying when someone forces your hand to defend yourself or someone else. Having compassion for humans is what sets us apart from the bad guys.
Thank you for your service sir, and thank you for sharing this event. I pray for The Lord’s blessings to help all involved in dealing with it. By sharing, there may be several lessons learned, such as 1) anti-gun people, what could’ve happened if you had your way? 2) those that cant see the value of human life, lots of people are affected when just 1 person looses their life, but the difference here is the preservation of life. 3) The more criminals that hear your story the better, maybe they’ll change their mind when they realize this could happen to them And many many other life lessons as well. Hopefully this goes viral because I think everyone in the USA could learn something from this accounting.
Here sits a man with heart & conviction , everyone who carries a weapon, especially a firearm should watch this interview . I have no doubt that it changed his life , but you did the right thing in preserving your life as well as your wifes . To the would be thieves ,\ criminals ,who may see this video , TAKE HEED "

In my foolish youth I wanted (but was spared) the ultimate conflict. Now I pray (literally and specifically) that I never have to take another man's life.
@@larrywhited3070 well said
And this, my friends, shows EXACTLY how it should be done! Every step of the way this man did the correct thing. Perfect.
Good thinking... Good shooting. Well done my friend...
This is what a real hero looks like. This is what a real hero sounds like. This is how a hero conducts himself. I’m glad he’s around.
What a professional. Showing this to any people who tell me carrying a gun is paranoia. The interviewer annoyed me though. He didnt sounded like he cared.
This man did a great job of protecting himself and his wife. He's lucky he is in the USA because if he was in canada he would be doing 2 life sentences.
Modern day drifter fuck Canada tho
If he were in any other place than a Free State, he would have been killed by the criminals.
@@thesharpshootersfl no need to be an asshole about things. Both countries have good and bad things about them.
This is why having a firearm to defend yourself is so important.
Thank you for your honesty. And compassion. The world needs more men like you.
A decent, hard working man protecting his wife. He had every right to protect himself and his spouse.
A good man, a great American!
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you and your wife lived through this. Good work, sir.
Glad this gentleman is still with his wife. Gun laws didn't stop these vermin from their crimes. I don't know of any criminals looking to kill who are respectful of magazine or gun laws.
Not only that but they've already made up their mind to be okay with MURDER, a much more severe offense than breaking any "law" about magazine size. That's why we have laws against certain actions, not objects.
Yeah Reece, Ain’t that AMAZING - Criminals Don’t obey laws, wtf 🤷🏻♂️ 🤷🏾♂️
OK the rest of you goobers - be sorry for these two swine.
Kill ‘em ALL & let God sort ‘em out! 👍🏼
He saved more than 2 people because have they succeeded who knows who their next victim would 've been. God bless you sir and I am glad you and your wife are alive.
This man did most everything he did properly He gave each thug a serving before going around to deliver seconds. And he properly delivered a serving to the second thug even though no weapon was visible. He continued to fire until both threats were neutralized.
This man should not feel bad about his actions. No telling how much grief he spared others in the future by removing the two from society. They could have gone on to rob and kill scores of others. He didn't plan on shooting anyone that day. He was forced into an impromptu gunfight, and was the Victor despite the odds against him. He should feel proud to have prevailed.
That's what it's all about at 8:45! I feel bad for the dead guys, but I'd feel even worse if my wife was dead! That's it plain and simple!! And just like him, I go outside my firearm goes with me EVERYWHERE!!
If I had a son he would look just like this man !
From an Air Force veteran all I want to say is GO NAVY!!!!!!!!!......I salute you sir wherever you are....
His amazing sorrow and regret likely helped detectives see their way clear to letting him go easily, but his phone blurt, "I just shot two guys...." without explaining anything of why, reinforces the advice we hear Don't talk much to the police--just a rough outline, as, "That guy was going to kill us (or whatever)! And there's the evidence! And that person(s) is a/are witnesses! I will sign a statement/complaint and cooperate fully--BUT I do not wish to talk more until I contact my attorney." Something like that. Mas Ayoob gives exc. advice along that line.
Yep and say you want him ARRESTED. even if he is dead in a pool of blood.
Boarding house rule , everyone gets served then first person gets seconds
never refer to criminals as "gentlemen"
If he said what he was really thinking he would be labeled a White Supremist or a racist or a ----- .Fill in the blanks.
@@papabagh Just look how Godless PC. Lib prosecutors [to agitprop hate] railroaded George Zimmerman ! Anything you say WILL be used to hang you! If you stupidity "think" our Justice system has something to do with Justice in this godless baby killing Lib Democrat owned nation! I have Brig I would like to sell you!
Remaining SILENT is EVERY lawyers & some subprime court justice's GOOD advise! Luckily in this case the good guy got away with it! NOT so in gangsta hoodlum Travon Martin case! Because a 911 operator suspended Zimmerman's right to protect his hood! If he just stayed in the car to boy wouldn't have beaten Georges head into the sidewalk!

@@ichemosabe; Can you notice how in your Lib induced groupthink state you can't posit a lucid counter argument ? [only childish ridicule] ??? Like the slimy screaming Lib protesters at a Ben Shapiro type lecture! You-Tube, *"Don't Talk to Cops, Part 1" to see my point on railroading that [I learned first hand]!! The Zimmerman and Central Park cases were to agitprop the dumb black's and godless lib's into action! Ann Coulter best explains that point! [you can't debate]

Done the correct thing good on you from uk England
Keep your gun on you AT ALL TIMES!
With the Democrats bringing every Criminal they can find into the country keeping your gun on you is a MUST. SUPPORT PRES TRUMP
Ignorance
@Old Iron keeping guns on you at all times. The USA has the worst gun laws in the world!!!
@Old Iron Great Britain name says it all.
@Old Iron yes the same country that gets you out of the shit everytime!!! Over and out
God Bless You, Stand Your Ground!! No 2A limitations!!!
You are a hero people like that have no value for life thank God you had a gun with you for protection your number one you are a hero don't ever forget it
God bless you sir. Very sorry you had to experience such a thing, but very thankful you had the proper tool to get the job done and protect yourself and your spouse.
Well done, SIR!
WHAT A STORY & A HERO YOU DID THE RIGHT THING
I am sorry for this man, having to go through such a difficult thing. But I am so glad that he was able to save his and his wife's lives.
The rest of the world needs this! A nice gentleman who saved both of their lives !
"These two Gentlemen"? Gentlemen!? No....
"Ouir society is going to the dogs" that's the truth, he did what had to be done, God bless you sir
Idk man, I'd rather be living in today's societies (while it certainly has it's problems) than the middle ages.
No this guy is a genuine badass. No shaved head, tatoos and a not a braggart.
God bless you 🙏. Find comfort in knowing your family loves you.
Really a nice gentleman. Trying to make nice places for people to live and have a "pretty place". The diversionary tactic was pivotal but him talking about fixing things and just being a decent person really stands out to me. Godspeed.
It took the cops 2 hours of interrogation to come to the conclusion that this was self defense!? No doubt they were looking for something to charge this poor guy with.
Anytime there is a homicide, justified or not, there is a pretty big process involved and a LOT of questions. You have to keep in mind, that he killed 2 people and if they don't do their investigation the right way, the liberal media would be all over everyone involved and make the shitbags out to be the victims. Where this guy messed up, was talking to them without a lawyer present, because if the investigators had bad intentions they could've made him talk himself into manslaughter charge.
I feel so sorry for this gentleman! He did what he had do! I´m happy that he and his wife survived!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥 I love listening to these gun fight survival people it’s dope
Seems like a very good man put in a crappy situation.
He should NOT feel bad. Those men made a choice to take up a gun and commit a crime. He was simply protecting himself and his wife.
Salute to this Gentleman!!! He did what he had to do to protect him and his wife. As for the goofball robbers.....YOU PLAY STUPID GAMES, YOU WIN STUPID PRIZES!!!
" I would really feel bad if my wife were dead . " Why do government politicians won't to disarm good people ? I know why .
@aerodog2 why dont the democrat s just say" lets cut off there balls"
@aerodog2 Your seemingly paranoid explanation doesn't hold water and there's no evidence that it does, except what you have read or constructed to be the truth.
The Democrats and some Republicans feel that the following items (and others) will reduce deaths by gunfire: making stricter laws regarding the time period of waiting (so that a thorough background check can be completed), eliminating AR15s and the like so that these highly effective weapons are less likely to be used in mass killings, preventing those that appear to be dangerous and armed from using their weapons (legally obtained), applying the rules of gun purchasing to gun shows so to eliminate an easier way to obtain these weapons and more.
I believe that, though these rules may have some effect, they are, for the most part, misinformed for many reasons: a large number of deaths by firearm is due to suicide and gang/drug related activities. The weapons have been either legally obtained (usually, well before the actual suicide and, therefore, outside the range of these well intended legal suggestions) or illegally obtained in which case mere laws most probably won't work as they haven't done so to date because criminals will be able to bypass them.
Though some , and in a few districts many, Democrats (and some Republicans) want to confiscate or make it ridiculously difficult to legally obtain guns their reasons don't have to do with not allowing the public to protect itself from "big government" but, rather, from protecting oneself from criminals and other people with ill intent.
I think the intent of reducing gun related criminal acts is something almost all of us could agree to, the question is HOW CAN THAT BE DONE without issuing more guns as the solution?
Because jews.
@@trsgringo Meaningless troll. Please, learn the benefits of silence.
To those dreamyeyed screwballs who think that the government acts in your best interest, why did they purchase over 2 billion rounds of ammunition?
Drawing on a drawn gun is not the best idea but quick thinking save him and him wife. Nice shooting, shoot til the threat is stopped.
You are correct to shoot till the threat is no more.
There is no substitute for a combat mindset and perfect training. Drawing and moving off the X gives you an incredible advantage. Action always beats reaction and I have found criminals love to run their mouth...if you are talking, you aren't ready to fight. You should always look for an opportunity to act but that opportunity may never come and you have to act in a second.
If you can quickly present your weapon while moving and accurately shoot...very few criminals stand a chance.
Those are odds I am willing to bet my life on...the other choice is to depend on the mercy of the bad guys. That is never an option.
"feel sorry for that gentlemen" , first of all those guys are not gentlemen, secondly theres nothing to feel sorry for, they asked for it
Dennis Jiy-Min Khoo - killing someone, justified or not, sucks. It’s pretty fuckin annoying when someone forces your hand to defend yourself or someone else. Having compassion for humans is what sets us apart from the bad guys.
Dennis , By him calling them gentlemen says enormous things about this GENTLEMAN’S character.
@@scotttrujillo363 I agree absolutely
Dennis, You. Are. An. Idiot. You are not able to read and understand on clear sentence.
@Dustin Dyer
You got that some kind of right
That's .40 caliber justice ... kudos to him
Good on you brother!!! I love these stories
I really wish people wouldn't refer to criminal thugs as "gentlemen."
He has class... they didn't
Maybe they fought with honour LOL
Expect black ones there not gentlemen I’ve seen videos of them Accidentally shooting them selves trying to act “ gangster”
He is old school etiquette and manners with children. Something that is phasing out year after year. Genuinely nice bloke.
Dan Lingard people always say that tho I remember people saying that in 1979 as well and that was 40 years ago ! People complain so much
I wish cnn or msnbc would play this for their audience. I pray that I never have to do the same, but I am prepared.
Wow! Glad you posted this! May the Lord strengthen you. Glad for your out come.
God bless this man and his wife, also l learned from this video, that's it's important to carry every day and everywhere.
Thank you for your service sir, and thank you for sharing this event. I pray for The Lord’s blessings to help all involved in dealing with it.
By sharing, there may be several lessons learned, such as
1) anti-gun people, what could’ve happened if you had your way?
2) those that cant see the value of human life, lots of people are affected when just 1 person looses their life, but the difference here is the preservation of life.
3) The more criminals that hear your story the better, maybe they’ll change their mind when they realize this could happen to them
And many many other life lessons as well. Hopefully this goes viral because I think everyone in the USA could learn something from this accounting.
I applaud you Sir!
Here sits a man with heart & conviction , everyone who carries a weapon, especially a firearm should watch this interview . I have no doubt that it changed his life , but you did the right thing in preserving your life as well as your wifes . To the would be thieves ,\ criminals ,who may see this video , TAKE HEED "
This man was making an honest living. Its important to protect yourself at all times.
