Hey Dr Russ. I am a retired cop and spent 8 years in SWAT. Shooting the hand or throat is ill advised. In a hostage scenario as you present, shooting the gun hand will be a challenge as the suspect moves about. He can also discharge the weapon as a reflex. Hitting the throat is not a bad option if he did not have a hostage.
Here, the only option is what we call the T zone. Superimpose a “T” over the suspects eyes and nosebridge. That is where you shoot. An airgun may not have enough FPE and expansion to cause a suspect to drop immediately.
However, airguns like the Texan, AEA .357, Bulldog at sub 15 yard range will most likely have the desires effects.
My kids and I love your channel. You are the best.
It is good to hear from you Kim Cornejo ... Thanks for the tips and good to hear that you survived 8 years on the swat team... Today police departments are having trouble filling their openings... I hope that changes... and the rule of law becomes more prevalent.... Dr. Russ
Good day Dr Russ.
I am so glad that I have found your y/t channel. I am a 77yrs retired Royal Navy and police officer in England. We don't have too many firearm crimes here. I suppose we have our share, not much compared to you guys. I was so impressed by what you teach, restraint in bad situations!
Very good to hear from you Pagan ... thanks for the compliments... Dr. Russ
The comment on this video are so wholesome like a lot of the CZcamsrs I watch it’s very toxic but this it makes me smile great video man
CaptainSimbaDog .... it is great to hear from you and thank you for the compliment. Please stay in touch ... and share any of your air gun experiences with us .... Again, Thanks ...Dr. Russ
Thank you for your service and information.
Good to hear from you Slim420... and thanks for your compliment. Please keep us in your loop of air gun experiences ... helping us help everyone be air gun sharp....Dr. Russ
Yes sir! Shot placement is everything with any weapon. And knowing your weapon capabilities and yours is very important as well. Very informative. Love your channel!
Good to hear from you again Casey Albright, thanks for the compliment.... and please stay in touch... Dr. Russ
The artery in the shoulder may drain the meanness outa him!
Loren Ray ... my thoughts exactly ....Dr. Russ
Beautiful shooting Dr. Russ.
Thanks for the video.
Another definite 'Like'.
Cheers 🙏
Good to hear from you again Maxim.... please keep us in your loop... Dr. Russ
@@drsrussandpaula My respects to you Dr. Russ 🙏.
Sir today after practicing your teachings i got my first birds on a hunting session. I live in a lovely forested area and it was a fantastic experience thank you sir
Beastmode2990 ... it is good to hear from you again... and we are glad you are continuing your passion for air guns... DR. Russ
Beautiful property and great video I’ve been binge watching cheers
Great to hear from you and the compliment too Case G. Keep us in your loop of air gun experiences so that you can help us keep everyone Air Gun Sharp.... just finished our next you tube video ... will be out this weekend ... title is ..."Don't Buy The Wrong Air Gun." Dr. Russ
I accidental stumbled upon this channel and must say it's one of the best and most level headed videos I've seen on the topic. In my country firearms are strictly regulated but we are allowed to own .177 air rifles so it was good seeing possible ways to use in a self defense scenario. I particularly liked the part about having a plan and not killing. I'm not sure what the laws are in the US but here if you kill someone in self defense you better have a good reason. I've seen way too many videos advocating using an AR15 as the ultimate home protection tool in houses made of what I believe to be wood and drywall with no thought of the effects of that round. And there are too many videos advocating killing your attacker without explaining what can be the legal ramifications. Keep up the excellent work and I totally love your yard and property
Reza... welcome to our air pistol and air rifle channel... please let us know if there are any questions we can answer for you...and thanks for the compliment... Dr. Russ
Love the advice brother! Good channel! Salut from Amsterdam The Netherlands!
The Spiritual Groove .... thank you for the compliment friend. We trust that you are able to freely buy whatever air gun you want in the Netherlands. You may enjoy our next two videos coming out this week and next. This week's video has a quick review of the best 10 seconds of each of the past 26 videos we launched this year. Next video is how to hunt rabbits... something that is more often found on European menus than American. Please keep us in your loop .... with any airgun experiences you have.... we would like to help keep everyone ...Air Gun Sharp. Dr. Russ
Wow I was very moved when you spoke about protecting our fellow citizens. Ever since this virus hit I got into airguns. Most of my collection are blow back replicas but I have a few break barrel rifles that seem pretty powerful. Would a break barrel work for the shoulders? Thanks dr. Russ👍
Yes ... but preferably 22 or 25 caliber .... and more from sharp pain than actually throwing bad guy backwards and around. Be prepared with a back up plan to follow up... but I believe the sharp pain would spin him enough for the hostage to make an escape..... Good to hear from you Chris Johnson ... please continue to share your air gun thoughts and info ... so that we can help keep everyone air gun sharp.... Dr. Russ
Wife at near 70 defended herself with a stick in the grass. Ball bounce, face smack sent a 280 lb 30 ish man crying. Running off property! War dept. Brats are not the old people to chase into the back yard! Teach them young and they keep the skill.did not need the heavy blade behind her!
Thanks Russ, great info on being prepared!
Always good to hear from you Jack... and we pray you and your family has avoided this virus... Dr. Russ
That was a lot of information to think about, Thanks for the video!
Rick .... good to hear from you... trust me when I say that you don't want the lifetime of dreams... and second guessing yourself ... in the event you shot and killed someone... plan and practice for that very real possibility... but in the end... plan on the possibility that you can avoid killing a human... Dr. Russ
Thank you good sir for your wisdom and knowledge
Thanks For writing Alan... I probably received more criticism for my air gun defense videos... than all the rest of our videos combined... and of course it came just before the black lives matter protests began... and particularly before all of the police have been arrested and fired for their actions... their only defense will be proving that rational minds prevailed... and restraint in their actions were used. Families of victims will want to prove that their family member practiced every possible good citizen action possible. Please write anytime... we are in the middle of some excellent July and August videos... Dr. Russ
Thank you good sir for your service in Vietnam I have a uncle that served in Vietnam as well and I learned a lot of stuff from him and watch you showed on there is the truth I have a 25 caliber PCP and it can shoot through the bottom of an old wash tub that I have and that is Galvanized wash tub I know if he can do that you can do what you say thank you very much
Fantastic video. Thank you! Heading to part 2.
Good to hear from you Man of the Tombs ... be sure to watch both of our videos on accuracy. Dr. Russ
Great information 👍👍
Less Lethal ... good to hear from you. So far we have launched 24 videos with almost 65,000 views... surprised me when we started 10 months ago. I hope we dont miss your expectations. Please write again... Thank you ... Dr. Russ
I'm new to the world of air gunning, and it's from guys like you that I learn more and more about the sport...thanks for the work that you put into these videos!
I own many air pistols, and my 2 most powerful air pistols would by my Gamo PT85, and my Crosman Vigilante.
They both shoot at over 420-450 feet per second, and they both are rapid fire.
Well, the Gamo is semiautomatic with a 16 round clip and the Vigilante is rapid fire shot after shot.
In terms of self defense, I would ALWAYS try to not use violence, but unfortunately we live in a world where sometimes force is necessary, and I'm raising 2 young kids totally on my own.
What PISTOL would you recommend for self defense, or what semiautomatic pistol is the strongest with the highest velocity??
Any info would be appreciated!!
Thanks for your time and all you do for this community...its appreciated and not taken for granted!
George.... thanks for sharing ... The Gamo PT85 is one air pistol that I consider"best in class".... I trust that we can continue to provide videos that will help you be ..."Air Gun Sharp." Dr. Russ
I bought the P-85 but A) I didn't know how BIG it was, and B) it quit in the first week, but Gamo refunded and paid shipping, so I bought a revolver from them! It li es in my truck.
Another excellent presentation DOC. Great information for youngsters and and seasoned adults. By the way, great shooting, wind with low FPS weapons compared to any firearm normally used for this type of situation. Be Safe and Have Fun DOC. I subscribed and hit the notify button.
Nick Retired PD-31 ... great to hear from you too.... thanks for the compliment ... and glad to made it to retirement before being shot or being a part of this national disgrace called "Defund the police department." Please keep us in your loop of air gun experiences... helping us help everyone stay air gun sharp... Dr. Russ
It would be great If everybody would understand killing somebody ONLY does harm! Thanks for your honesty! Here in Germany we are restricted to less then 7.5 Joule anyways but independent of that your content is always interesting!
Coptermovies ... good to hear from you .... Unfortunately, there is the perception that if someone is going to break into your home ... that they will repel down some ropes like Ninjas ... or be professional killers .... etc. The truth is that it is often just a neighborhood kid who wants some marijuana money.... and holding him for police is the proper punishment. Here in Detroit, a man shot an intruder into his home late at night ... only to discover that it was his daughter sneaking back in from a late date...she died ... he will never be the same ... Dr. Russ
Dr. Russ...consider a semi auto...you can follow up.
John ... thank you for your comment and watching our video.... I have been looking at full and semi auto air rifles for several months. I buy all of my own guns and dont want to be influenced by free gifts or loaners. So far, to me .... they seem to be working out their shortcomings .... as well as feed problems. FX seems to have it down well ... but cost prevents it from going to the mass public. Sales have been soft due to the pandemic ... prices are starting to come down .... and 2020 was a year that several guns came out with their second generation. I expect some great specials as we go into the winter and may get one then. Thanks for your recommendation. As soon as I get one ... I will do a video on its strengths and short comings. We hope to hear from you again ... and hope that our video's values are helping you become ... air gun sharp..... Dr. Russ
I enjoy your videos. Great message
Thanks Lawrence Williams .... we launched our 24 th video about a week ago ... and # 25 is next week. I hope we continue to provide good messages to you and others around the world. Please write again .... Dr. Russ
That nose shot u toke it's part of the sniper t u will drop the target
Dylan Picquet ... it is good to hear from you. This video did not have two facts that I wish I had included ... Keep in mind that many men talk the talk ... and want the opportunity to kill someone breaking into their homes... and yet they dont read the news ... that even cops go to jail ... or get fired ... for shooting people. The concept of using lesser force ... if possible is the one that I want to be a part of my journey going forward. I killed too many Vietcong ... including young women and boys already... which make up my memories and dreams. Secondly, there are also cases where a father shoots one of his own children sneaking back into the house at night ... and after using a 357 or 44 magnum ... their child is dead before the ambulance is even called. BB's and Pellets to the nose ... the neck ... can kill ..... and even the buttock will keep a burglar running away and hurting. I hope you plan your home defense accordingly. .... and escape the bad that never leaves you after you have taken a life. Dylan ... please keep me in your air gun experiences loop ..... and stay air gun sharp. Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 I want to say thank you for your service I understand where you're coming from in some respects because I do have relations that were in the military one of my uncles Vietnam and a friend was there that was a tunnel rat and you are right some areas have different rules when taking life when it's okay and when it's not but I did have an experience where I had a person walk right in if you want to talk about it I'll let you know either you can message me or I can call you if you want to talk about that
Good info Dr. Russ, I would think most would go for a head shot, but you are absolutely right, even a bullet with its power and speed can be deflected and not go where you thought it would go.
Good to hear from you Pilot Mtn... I've seen too many head shots go bad... unpredictable... even with destructive critters... it either goes bad.. or it kills.. and I really dont want to do either anymore.... good to hear from you.. Dr Russ
@@russjones7981 that's why you go for neck shots, instead. not much smaller than the head, and no bone to deflect, but a whole lotta arteries and nerves and other important things
@@schlomoshekelstein908 ... I have to agree with you ... and even if you hit the neck bone ... it is a paralyzing shot .... Good Hunting... Dr. Russ
Saw a biker friend get shot in the head with a .25 and it bounced. He grabbed the guy's gun and pistol-whipped him near to death!
Throat shot for sure..lol 🤣
Yes.. the fight usually ends with a throat shot.... Dr. Russ
Thank you for the awesome video about how to use airgun for self defense. such a video is a rarity - every other video on youtube says airgun is useless for self defense. Afterall, even a birdshot from a shotgun is deadly even though it fires bunch of tiny bbs. Rapid fire airguns will also be very deadly. It's just math of how many bbs you re shooting and at what fps. Whether it's gun powder or high pressure air doesn't make a difference.
Springer ... thanks for your response. You can see evidence from the news every day ... that even police can get into a great deal of trouble ... loss of job ... and even jail when they kill someone committing a crime. Always show restraint ... and a well thought out plan ... Dr. Russ
Looking forward to part 2
Always good to hear from you Tom.... When you return... lets talk about Oct dates.... your friend, Russ
Thank you! Semper FI!
Jerry... glad to hear from you... keep the faith... we have a great deal more coming.... Dr.Russ
It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 good video.
Wayne Price ... good to hear from you ... and excellent point. Dr. Russ
Great Video
Great to hear from you @ami_non_1. Thanks for the compliment ... I have a great new video coming out next week that talks about improving barrels and keeping your air gun out of the maintenance shop. Dr. Russ
Dr. Russ thanks for your service, my Dad suffered with PTSD from WWII, there was no treatment nor did they recognize it. I served as a Paramedic/ FF for 34 yrs. I was shot at and knives thrown at me and involved in many domestics and hostage situations. I'm retired and not in the shape I use to be. things are getting dangerous. What rifle would you suggest for self defense of my family and others. If things don't go bad I would like to get into competition like FT. Thanks
Drkling259 .... thank you for your service as a first res ponder... Things are getting serious and we all should consider reviewing our defense of family, home and self. I would recommend that you get into competition regardless of how things go. It will make you a better defender. I would consider numerous air rifles for self defense ... but would stick with 25 caliber or higher... and with a scope. Nonetheless, dont overlook lesser alternatives. Even police get in trouble for shooting people these days ... and the best defense is proving that you had alternatives and used or at least considered their use first. Let me know what you decide on .... and write again. Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 Dr Russ any one model, your suggestions, looking at fx, hatsan
@@drkling259 Good to hear from you .... FX air guns are excellent... and if you can afford them ... plus the right air resources too... then buy the top of the line. If not, I have found that two different Hatsans or other air guns might be the way to go. Consider going to Hatsan in Florida... where they sell refurbished air guns to the public.... My experience has been about 60% of the cost... and the air gun you have received has been worked on by American gunsmiths at that location. Dr. Russ
I recommend using an airgun for self defense rather than a fire arm.
News Man... It only takes a quick review of today's news and you learn how much trouble police get in ... killing a man ... even those who have been in and out of jail many times.... and so it is something that we should do everything we can ... not to follow that same course... I killed over a 100 Vietcong during the Vietnam war ... I have 13 medals in a case next to the American flag... at the same time I still wrestle with some bad dreams... particularly those where I walked up on dozens of the enemy ... who had killed my own soldiers... and shot them again and again ... you are smart to always show that you have showed some restraint and shot somebody with an air gun .... and not between the eyes... Dr. Russ
@@russjones7981 thank you for your service my uncle was also in Vietnam
DR Russ i love your video on self defend shooting saving your self an other is hole point have big bore air rifle i do ninjutsu but what burn me is other people in air gunning get mad at me when talk about self defends shoot they yell and tell iam ruin the sport of air gunning i tell not in for sport i am in for hunting and self defends light say your shot is dead on thumb up
Good to hear from you blackswordshinobi ... Here in Detroit, a father shot and killed an intruder into his home late at night.... the intruder was his own daughter trying to sneak back in without him knowing about it.... he is devastated of course and gotten rid of all of his defense weapons.... We all have seen too many movies, believing that our intruder is a hired hit man or Ninjas dropping down on ropes into our homes ... when neither will ever be true... your intruder will likely be a neighbor kid looking for marijuana money.... and now has to explain to his parents why he has a pellet or BB puncture on his leg.... Dr. Russ
@@drsrussandpaula yeah there people out there like that and rapist not only that now day terroist and sleeper cell we all have watch whom let in home in but intruder can be any one or any thing i think if got what you got you have use it if need be modified weapon base ball bat in these gang member do know gun art japan hojutsu art of the gun and your right you do have show restraint have be real bad if have kill intruder some state allow it some do not i think the law re look over but where i live is leftist state some time they wont allow you to defend your self but do any way it better be hunter then pray in some case
@@blackswordshinobi Yes... it is important to you to be able to show restraint and the use of a lesser weapon .... to keep you out of jail... Dr.Russ
You have my thumbs up my friend
Good to hear from you again Uncle Frank ... Please keep us in your loop of air gun experiences ... so that you can help us help everyone stay air gun sharp... Dr. Russ
Excellent shooting, Doc! Do you mind sharing what type of glass you're using on the Bulldog?
Jef Bretschneider ... I have changed scopes several times on my Bulldog. I am currently using a 4X 26 power Benjamin ... Dr. Russ
Jef Bretschneider ... when it comes to scopes ... I am more comfortable recommending features than brands ... unless one really stands out. I recommend a scope that has a 50 mm front lens ... as well as a front lens adjustment for distance (referred to as AO) ... At lease 4X12 adjustable power ... plus tall rings for best comfort and mil dots or hash marks for adjustments for wind and distance.... In the event you hunt taking critters at early morning light or late afternoon light... consider a 30 mm tube versus a one inch tube ... and lit us cross hairs for low light... I hope these features help... Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 You just described my dream scope for my Diana Stormrider! Can't afford it now as I just put a 4x16-40mm on it. Not sure if my high mounts will be tall enough tho.
Good job !!!!!!!
Thanks again Honey Bee.... good to hear from you .... Dr. Russ
I like ya style Doc
Thanks Kody Black ... good to hear from you ... and thanks for the compliment... Please stay in touch with your air gun experiences... Dr. Russ
wow this gave me a lot to think about !
Good Ben Talley.... movies make us believe that an intruder will drop out of the sky in a Ninja suit with throwing stars ... but the truth is that it is often just a teenager looking for marijuana money. Here in Detroit, a man shot his own daughter ... who was trying to get back into her home late .... after curfew ....secretly without alarming her dad ... she died. He will never recover.... See the big picture... Even a CO2 pistol will give an intruder a lot of reasons to leave your home when discovered.... Dr. Russ
Marbles in a slingshot. Bad idea. You can't shoot far, fast, or do damage. Best is probably 3/8" (8mm) ball bearings, which most of us use for hunting and targets. I design, build and shoot Slings (no two alike) and that's how I evolved into air. Plus, I easily always have about 15 balls in my pocket and a sling within 20' unless my Air pistol is nearby. For a mugger, active shooter or any large object that I might want not-breathing-now, there are usually two 7/16" balls in the pocket; easy to identify by feel.
Good to hear from you again Gary ... thanks for the tips....Dr. Russ
Thanks for another great video. I bought my air rifle for home defense...after a creep tried to enter my home while I was out...and my wife was home alone....and I wanted something she could use. My wife is unfortunately, Anti-gun....so an air rifle is a happy compromise....(whatever works) I have learned a lot since purchasing it.
(Seneca Aspen .25) I tinkered with it...pellet and nsa slug experimentation as well...It will do the job...in grand fashion...if needed. I always say "More info...is always better". I look forward to the Next video...
Shun... Seneca Aspen is an excellent gun... and 25 is my favorite caliber... typically because with a quiet barrel... you typically dont have to buy a $300 Modulator too... which is typically necessary for bigger bores to remain backyard friendly.
Consider asking your wife to shoot it ... to hit something easy like an old cast iron frying pan or a bell. If she hits this easy target within 3 shots... you take her out to eat... etc..... once she enjoys your beautiful gun... you may have her suggesting that you buy the next one... and of course she becomes proficient enough to defend herself easily. Dr. Russ
@Urban Cowboy Dude ..relax yourself.
@Urban Cowboy The country has glossed over its long running issues....and has a Delusional crook in the White House. He has made this possible by playing one group vs the other. The Antifa group will be put down quickly. I get what you are saying however....a firearm wont solve this. (It may help but it wont solve it). We the people need to change the environment so that this country lives up to its creed of Freedom and justice for all. If we dont....even worse will occur. Just wait until The current President loses....and watch the Demented fools show all of the nation who and what they truly are. That being said...just because I dont have powder burners in my home...doesnt mean they are not on my property (the mrs doesnt have to know they are there..but they have to be... 2A everyday) Respecting your mates wishes is good for your marriage...preparing for the likely eventuality....is good for your longevity. Stay safe...however you have to.
@Urban Cowboy conservatives lost their balls when they lined up behind a lying delusional gun grabbing Idiot billionaire. Thats where it all went wrong....they make the dems look palatable. The two party system has turned into a power grabbing drug fuel rave.....as far as rising up goes....Trying to overthrow the government is foolish at this point. We make changes by voting...thats how we distinguish ourselves from a Banana republic...or any other 3rd world country. We lead by example..we are not savages but we have the constitution to guide us...and will exercise our rights if ANYONE violates the constitution. Its not a red thing...or a blue thing....Country above party...for all times. Thats my view on this..
Hello dr russ ai and easy to find the magazine of benjamin Bulldog .357? I needed an aki in Brazil don't have 😔

What about the byrna hd?
Truth Seeker ... not sure what your message means. Hope you write again... Dr. Russ
Russell Jones Hello 👋 the byrna (hd)? Home Defense, is a c02 powered “launcher” people don’t like to call them pistols. 🔫 they are for home defense and they shoot pepper balls and kinetic solid projectiles. They seem like they would be effective as well. .68 cal it has a big barrel and actually looks kind of real if you get it in black color.
@@stargod3064 Yes ... I have seen them ... no experience with them ... I believe they were originally used by forest rangers marking trees ... and made by Umarex. I am sure they would be effective with pepper or paint balls... Dr. Russ
Jesus a bulldog for defense that's a lot of gun if you miss you could take a head off but then again, the bad guy has a gun on the previable lady. Love watching you I have a question what are your thoughts on the hatsan airmax pcp air rifle.22 caliber
I don't have the Airmax, but it has good reviews. Dr. Russ

Thanks for your interesting video s, are you an MD and what specialty?
Sincerely and greetings from Holland.
Dr. H. Smits anesthesiologist
Tee Rex ... it is good to hear from you ... and glad to hear that you are the anesthesiologist. As a kid, I was disappointed upon hearing that the conductor back in the caboose was in charge of a train instead of the engineer running the locomotive in front. Several years ago, I learned that the anesthesiologist was in charge in the surgery room instead of the surgeon. Evidently, if that patient goes too far under, you might not get him or her back up... which gives you the power to stop or start surgeries. An anesthesiologist stopped a surgery here in Michigan on my 91 year old father before it even started ... saying he was too old to put under.... probably a good call. Fortunately he lived within days of reaching 101.... My wife and I both have our doctorates in divinity ... counseling clergy of all denominations ... they have problems too ... and yet we have never charged for our work in this field .... we made our monies in starting over 20 companies during our life times.... and only recently sold our tax business.... which leaves a heavy trailer hitch business to sell..... and these CZcams Videos ... which even at age 76 will never be sold. Thanks for asking... Drs. Russ and Paula
In my house there's not going to be a hostage except possibly me if the bad guy can get close enough I've got several surprises for him 1st my walther CP 99 2nd SIG Sauer P226 CO2 Pellet Pistol and finally Umarex Legends MP40 I don't think a bad guy is going to like 50 bbs coming at him all at once full auto should make his day with all said my first decision would be escape of coerce but when push comes to shove I have my plan
Good to hear from you Smoking Uncle Frank ... It appears that you enjoy a good pipe ... I enjoy a good cigar on the weekends... Glad to hear that you have thought it out and have a good plan ... keep us in your loop ... Dr. Russ
@@drsrussandpaula Nothing like a good pipe but I don't exclude cigars I also enjoy my cigars as well good to hear from you to
A great video spoiled by awful sound... Get a Rode body Mic...:)
Good to hear from you Alan Scott ... and thanks for the tip....Dr. Russ
with all do respect; this is the worst advice i have ever heard. 1. the plan for the police if i kill an intruder holding a person at gunpoint is "talk to my lawyer." 2. if an airgun is all i have to defend against an armed perp, im shooting him in the eye/face......im not a gambling man so "hoping" he spins and frees the woman seems like a suckers bet. 3 "call the police, they may catch him as he's leaving" no thanks.....i'd rather the cops call the coroner for him. you come into my home armed and taking hostages.....i'm no longer a civillized human; we both become wild animals in a struggle to survive at that point.
Sorry you feel that way Crabtrap... wild animals have a difficult journey... however ... the biggest difference between you and I is that I've already killed young boys and old men ... and everyone in between...Dr. Russ
Crabtrap... I've also commanded young soldiers who were trained to kill the enemy...cry after they shoot their first one... real killing isn't like the movies portray. Ask the next counselor you meet... the dreams can haunt you for life.... and our military hospitals and even military senior citizen homes are filled with P.T.S.D. patients. Those events arent in the movies either...
My message is to have a long term viable plan... and that killing weapons...including powder guns will be a part of that plan... but you wont need an attorney... or a life of grief is in reality... you show some restraint... rather than showing the world... including a jury.... that you are a wild animal. Dr. Russ
@@russjones7981 And I have met and helped people that mistakenly thought if "they went along with the plan, Mr badguy would take what he needed and leave" or "wait for police that showed up an hour later". Rape victims, families of murdered loved ones....as you kno,w they deal with PTSD too. Better a young Marine or Solider have the luxury of coming home to his family with PTSD then decomposing in a rice paddy because he wanted to wait and see how this played out. Also shifting the responsibility for self preservation from yourself to another person(the police) isn't solving any problem, you are just shifting that to another human. is it ok for the Cop to now carry YOUR PTSD because he had to shoot a perp on your behalf?
Hey, if a cop is close at hand great. but that isn't the scenario you laid out here. you have two target examples of armed men with women in choke holds.
this sends a dangerous nonviable survival instruction to especially women, some who will think if i just "go along to get along" everything will be fine. that is rarely the case. those first few seconds are crucial to end being a victim, much more so for women too.
@@crabtrap A point that seems to be forgotten here... especially is you watch Part II... where it is confirmed... is that I am all for carrying weapons that include magnum powder handguns... I carry one everyday on my ankle... the point is that while I am prepared to kill another person ...as I have already done in the past .... I am also prepared to show some restraint with other weapons when the robbery takes place. ...an alternative that will be thankful by the parents of a 15 year old... who broke into your home for marijuana money... and the show of restraint to police ... the prosecutor ... and to the other family... who might otherwise want to follow up with a civil rights lawsuit. A legal defense could cost you $50,000. Lets not forget that I am prepared to end the robbery with a variety of choices ... and it is that multiple method of solving that I believe is a high calling. I wanted to present that variety of choices to some air gunners who may not have realized that there were other choices.... Dr. Russ
@@russelljones4132 it been may experience(not in war) but in the night club biz of the inner-city 90's.....that there is a thin line between a 'scuffle' and a to the death fight. shot a perp as opposed to hand fighting him...usually tells his stressed frantic mind (non drugged) that 'the gloves are off" and its ok to attempt to murder or severely maim you. one fight i was involved in mitigating, was 5 on 5 normal stupid drunk testosterone stuff......till one guy pulled out scizzers and stabbed the other, this escalated the situation were one member felt authorized to run the scizzer wielder over....luckily know one died. no one was arrested even though we gave the police a detailed account. point is if you are going to use a item like a pellet gun, you better not bluff and you better inflict maximum damage. you seem to be moving the goalpost on our discussion; im not saying don't use a pellet gun or "shoot to kill with a real gun", you can easily shoot his knee with a .38 if you don't want to kill him....but the lawsuit angle is still in effect, and probably worse because he will lie and say "i just walked into the wrong house and he shot me!" in court.
I didn't even mention how shooting a methhead with a pellet in the shoulder will have zero effect. that's why a face shoot(hopefully eye) is a better bet....you can't 'walk that off'.
given the choice of shoot in the shoulder with pellet or crawl out the window and leave....the better advice is crawl out the window and leave, atleast you haven't given the robber the urge to now commit homocide.
