Should I continue to carry hollow point ammunition in my Glock 19 9mm for self protection??? Because if I was to use target practice rounds such as FMJ rounds doesn't that put my life more at risk because it's not as effective and can pass through a target easier and hit someone else possibly or ricochet in the event of someone trying to take my life but with the way the law is and the way prosecutors are what is actually best? In my mind hollow points are a better protection ammunition!
@@raptorman48 the only state that doesn’t let you use hollow points outside of the home is New Jersey. Using FMJ for self-defense is a really bad idea.
@@raptorman48 not only is practice ammo bad for hitting real world targets because it won’t stop a threat easily, it’s also cheaply made compared to self def ammo. Read up on it. Good self def ammo is nickel plated, has an epoxy seal around the primer, stands up to whether and time better, etc. It’s just better overall. That’s why it’s so expensive.
OMG, getting my CCW was a living hell, even with a perfect record. The process took 40 hours of training, tests, break down and reassemble, field testing, and then the best was the 4 bureau background checks, ink and digital prints. A 6-month process in total for me. Utah 1993. (I don't regret any of it). The knowledge, awareness, understanding of why, where, what, and most importantly the legal aspect of respect and responsibility. There is so much more than just your target when you choose to pull. There is an entire picture of things that can get hit by just a stray bullet, ricochet, or even a through and through that is within this picture. Thank you for the post as it hopefully shows people how important the responsibilities are to carry.
Maryland: 16 Hours in the classroom (laws concerning use of force and carrying), shoot what is basically the FBI Agent pistol qualification, get fingerprinted, deep background check, wait 60 days, and of course, pay all the fees. I do believe that those who want to carry a gun should get trained and demonstrate the safe and proficient use of a handgun.
Absolutely unlawful deep state bs. Shouldn't be ANY training, background check, fees, NOTHING. As long as you aren't currently incarcerated or on parole/probation, possession of a gun/concealed carry should be AUTOMATIC. We need to stop consenting to this crap.
hahahahhaa us citizens have to worry so much about innocents but when cops mag dump and hit bystanders everyones like suck it up they were saving your life😂😂 if you do it you get sued

THANK YOU, Kevin! YOU are the very first person in the firearms community, that has spoken about the incredibly seldom mentioned issue of GOING TO THE BATHROOM while carrying! I'm a USCCA member, and love these videos. I carry a PDP compact, IWB, in a blackhawk leather belt loop holster. Always one in the chamber. I also wear suspenders, because of my age and size. It is a challenge to do a good old number two in a public restroom. Top shirt off... suspenders down, belt undone, and WHILE HOLDING the holster with the gun in it, I carefully put the gun in the center of my pants to hold it. I make sure I point the muzzle in a direction that will not flag me, or any other bathroom users. It's tough, as people CAN see your pants near your ankles- necessitating that you are mindful not to lower them with a holstered gun in even that limited a view. Carrying, is not just a responsibility, it's an education.
I was fortunate when I got my CCW training. After everything, the range I was at allowed the class to go through a police video simulator. They also spoke extensively about the legal aspects of CCW.
Well put - "Concealed Carry Life Style". Definitely agree, draw practice is so true and so over looked when we begin to carry. Thank you for inspiring thought.
@@pt2575 I'm 5ft 3. IWB. 3'O clock carry. For me my shirt cannot be more than 24 inches or under 24 inches. I can get away with 24.5 inches. If it's more than 24 inches...I have a higher chance of my gun snagging when drawing out due to the shirt being too long and it takes more time for me to draw too. Now if the short is under 24 inches...yeah I can draw faster but it's gonna print more and if I bend over the gun is gonna show.
The Law of Self Defense, by attorney Andrew Branca is a tremendous book that explains the nuances of the law in plain language in regards to carrying a. gun. I've read it three times and would highly recommend it to anyone who. carries a gun for self defense. You will be surprised what you don't know or have even. thought of in regards to keeping yourself out of jail. His motto is "Arm yourself so you're Hard to Kill. Know the law so you're Hard to Convict."
When I got my CC, the Ruger LCP had just come out. It was so popular I had to order one from a gun shop in the next town. Until it arrived, I carried a High Standard 9-shot .22 revolver in an IWB holster. When I picked up my LCP, I immediately made a very minimal in-the-pocket leather holster, to cover the trigger and muzzle, and prevent printing. I have since carried it in my hip pocket. Slower to access, but it's ALWAYS there, never noticed, doesn't fall out in the bathroom, and can be reached for as if surrendering a wallet. It limits my wardrobe, as fancy trousers don't have big enough pockets, but that's not my style, anyway. The .380acp may not be a drop-em-dead-instantly round, but is sufficient to alter the intentions of a felon.
There really is A LOT to consider when you carry! Lots of decisions that have to be made in mere seconds! And how life will change once those decisions have been made!
Wow do I agree with the holster purchase. I have been carrying for 40 years + and I still buy new holsters to try them out. I have a couple I wear all the time, but there is still that one new one that maybe turns out better. I have thrown away boxes of holsters in moves etc.
Man, I've only got three holsters. I use the second one I bought as my daily. Leather galvo, IWB, no mechanical retention. Just cinch down my gunbelt. For going to the bathroom.. When I don't have to take my pants down, I'm not really worried about it. When I do, I look for single person bathrooms. If I can't get one, then I usually use the handicap stall if possible because it's harder to see the weapon. When I drop my pants, I pull them sideways to put my weapon (still holstered and attached to my pants and belt) between my feet with my pants on top, holster underneath to hide the weapon and holster. If I see a hand reaching under the stall I'm just going to step on it until it stops moving. I used to take my holster off and put it in my pants, then drop my underwear over the holster and weapon. Sometimes I'll try to drop my underwear over the holstered weapon still on my belt. For the most part.. I just try to crap at home 😂
It’s interesting with any skill repetition helps you get it right while at the same time helping you to recognize/correct when you are doing it wrong faster. Ashley when you have that muscle memory it frees up the brain to focus on other stuff such as “ is firing the correct decision”, but I feel like some folks outside the community see this skill building as a crazy person that is looking for a fight. It’s too bad firearms have been so vilified because there are so many aspects which create great learning opportunities and promote maturity.
Yeah, it was fun, finding the right holster.still looking,I'm a small guy,hard to conceal already..first firearm was big,had to down size to a subcompact..good belt,((we the people)is perfect for me.still looking for better appendix holster and all the laws,carry,then put away when pick up my grand kids at school.carry, put away when go to P.O. WOW.. thanks to ISCCA IM LEARNING ALL THE LAWS.and info..thank you guys..
My friend and I use an app to help us draw. We set down our phone and press start. It then waits anywhere between 0.5s to 10s and gives a random beep. Then, it listens for a shot. Thanks to that app, I have been able to get my draw to 1.7s consistently. It's not terribly fast, but it helps me understand that I need to practice moving while drawing to avoid incoming attacks and buy myself a bit more time.
Replace the drawer full of holsters with an Enigma, and 1 good OWB holster if needed. Use the sport belt with the Enigma, it makes a significant difference is comfort(primarily when sitting).
The most important aspect of carrying a gun, is you have the mindset, that you will use your firearm, if necessary, to protect yourself and loved ones. Get handgun self defense training too.
There is an equally important mindset that says you will do everything you can to avoid putting yourself in a position where using your firearm is necessary.
Suspenders do well for me when I carry, especially when using a public restroom as I don't have to worry about my firearm pulling my pants down or flopping out of concealment, belt and suspenders/redundancy.
You’re right, a lot of first time gun carriers don’t understand or know when you can or can not use a gun in self defense. I just had a friends son shot a guy that had been harassing him and his girlfriend. They had restraining orders on this guy but one day he rammed their car and jumped out charging toward them and wanting to fight my friends son over this girl he is now dating. The guy didn’t have a weapon but my friends son ended up shooting him out of all the frustration of dealing with this guy who has shot his car up at his residence, stalking his girlfriend and is here illegally. He was arrested for shooting him and has yet to be charged and face the penalties of his actions. He didn’t realize that they guy had to have a weapon, threatening his or her life before he could use his gun in self defense. I feel bad for the guy because they were trying to use the law to jail this guy or get him deported and receive no relief from his terror. The guy chased them and used his truck to slam into their car and bring them to a stop. I’m not sure but I think a lot of people would have shot him if they were in this situation. Allow he had no weapon when he approached them so it was unlawful to shoot him. The bad thing about it is that he is still harassing them after being shot and the restraining orders have come to term and the courts are saying if they can’t find him and serve him they can’t issue a restraining order. Missouri smh. 30 rounds in cup
I'm sorry about what they have to go through. In my state (Utah) a car can be considered lethal force and we are allowed to respond in kind. We also have disparity of force reasoning that would allow a small guy like myself to use lethal force in defense against an unarmed big guy. I really hope that everything works out well in the end.
I went through about 20 holsters before finding the best one for me to carry everyday from waking to bedtime! Secondly, being scared 😂death of mistakenly breaking the law. Third, actually having to use my firearm and ending up in prison, even though I did everything correctly, leaving my family with no income and father and husband! I started carrying everytime I left base while stationed in Alaska during 1990- 1995. I was well trained and proficient with firearms but had to study and learn the state and federal laws on my own!
I would tell myself, besides knowing the law, is to get a ratchet belt, research good holsters, and wear your conceal carry around the house to find what feels good, and to go lighter and smaller than you think. My Ruger LCP MAX weighs under a pound loaded and is comfortable enough you barely notice it. I like Vedder holsters
There are 20 bullets in that cup. I do not have a firearm, although I've got my wife and I USCCA membership because we do support the 2nd Amendment. Not that I haven't owned them in the past or that we're not looking at firearms, just do not own/posses them at the moment. I strongly agree about the training (personal and legal) and practice for as many different positions and scenarios as possible (practice, practice, practice - until it becomes muscle memory). I retired from the military (spent time in the SOF community) and have trained over 15k individuals (various different countries) in various different tactical situations - it was always... practice, practice, practice. When I do decide to purchase firearms - especially for her - it will be after we go through some of the different training videos and get honed up on the laws within the state/county/city. It might not be the manner to which others would do, but it's important that there is the understanding of laws before the hand touches the grip or stock to shoulder. What I do not particularly care for is the outline of classes under the USCCA since you have to have "range time" before you can progress to the different levels of "training". I prefer to manage how progression is versus that of someone else.
I didn’t realize that it would become my 3rd arm and that I’d be more connected to it than my husband or children-out of necessity from the responsibility to make sure NO ONE ELSE can access it. I never realized it would become part of me in that sense.
I was 21 when I got my concealed permit which consisted of 3 personal references and personal information that's all. A week later I had my permit from the local police department in New Hampshire. That all happened around 1986.
I have a question... If I see an active shooter, and I have my concealed permit and my firearm on me, Doing need to let him/her know I have a firearm or can I just use it in self defense?
Active shooters are very rare. A shoot out between two rival gangs are much more common. As a result you do not need to participate in every gun fight you come across and the state did not issue you a badge, handcuffs and qualified immunity. Also add the responsibility of not shooting another CCW holder or off duty cop by mistake.
I always get great information and something to think about from these videos. I appreciate you bringing these topics up. I'm gonna guess 27 rounds in the cup.
Loved this one guys, the holster basket is right on target. A holster is an accessory it has to match the gun. I don't carry everyday. I carry when it's appropriate. I've gone from 45's to 40's and now 9mm and some 380's. The 9mm is right for me, I pray I never have to use it. My membership with USCCA is the only reason I feel confident to carry at all. The laws are constantly changing. I grew up when hollow points were illegal, now they are required, what ever. I guess 38 rounds in the cup.
The biggest challenge I have is all of the places that I’m not allowed to carry in NM. When I take or pick up my granddaughters from school, I can’t even have a gun in my car. If I go to a restaurant after church and the restaurant has a bar or serves mixed drinks, I need to leave my firearm in my car. I can’t carry to the doctor, dentist, post office, mall, and some stores. Before I retired, I couldn’t have a gun in the car.
If your life is “really” threatened and you save your life with “lethal force” you should walk entirely free from “any” prosecution either criminal or civil. Training and ammo are the items you spend your money on.
Can you guys put out some informative videos on all or most of those "legal tripwires" that you have seen or heard about? And maybe some advice on how to avoid them.
The burden of responsibility and blame is now on the one defending righteousness life and goodness not on the criminal. Truly if there was even a smidgen of justice in this country the blood of the people committing the crime would be on there own shoulders not the on those seeking to preserve life and liberty. Defense of the innocent would be rewarded not punished EVEN taking into consideration human error.
Also shame on the lawyers for choosing to defend the wicked for money...shame on judges for drawing paychecks to incarcerate the defenders of life...shame on the policemen and women for administering the unjust laws for a paycheck.
I can say a few things first I appreciate you putting these videos out here for us that are a little less educated of these things, thank you very much. It's my second video I watched I usually watch self defense guy I think is what I searched or his videos are called, where he always plays real world videos. So I use to have a sig Sauer 40cal I had a holster it held an extra clip an I had an incident occur an it was taken from me an I couldn't even get it back from the courts. Now I just got a new creed 9mm. So with my 40cal an a Ruger acp 45cal, i was very very accurate with my 40 and my 45 I was also pretty good with hitting the target as far out as I could put the target at the shooting range. usually it was just too close at 10ft 15ft 20ft 25ft I would hit it with ease. I would hit my same holes almost at 15ft 20ft 25ft do to test myself an try to make it a bit harder I would put as far out as possible. Anyways I don't have a holster for this creed 9mm an suggestion for it to hold in side my pants or one that's an all around holster to buy. Now I just stick it in my pants when it's dark I'm in a bad area an don't like my surroundings, suspicious or shady looking people, if some walks to my window, I see someone come towards my car, I would grab it an hold on my lap, under my shirt in case I needed to use it at a gas station is a good place where random people walk up asking for money or cars come in and out regularly i keep it locked an loaded in that situation. I took the cc class and in this class they taught us what a deadly threat is an to distinguish what could be considered as one an to announce yourself as I'm armed an I will use it or I will shoot you if you don't step back or come towards me if they have a knife I see this being possible but if someone has a gun it would seem pretty dumb to say hey I got a gun if you don't get away I'll shoot now they are able to look an see you an if they are ready to shoot anyone for any reason now I am armed I didn't think that was a great way to defend yourself with a firearm. Any help or advice on that kind of situation??? Then my next question or a major concern in life is I people who have deadly hands, say someone trained in fighting as ufc or something in those lines, I was under the impression their hands are registered as deadly weapons? my question was for say I was getting beat senseless by someone that i was going in an out of consciousness, an i felt if i keep getting hit im going to die. I then asked is that a situation to use deadly force if I can get that chance to grab it an use it to save yourself? I was told no that it's not. I couldn't believe my ears!!!! maybe it's changed now since 2006 or 07 about. I was questioning that I asked if it's a trained fighter an your getting beat an you shoot them if I could get it out an shoot them off the top of me, or gain consciousness an grab it an they still keep coming back to beat you.I really didn't like the answer he gave I was torn by getting my permit. Also he said when you do get your cc permit. The courts will hold you on a level of now your a cc holder you should know better, all of the laws an now you will be held to a higher standard. He had this big book you can buy an learn all these laws but basically it's up to you to learn the laws when to use, when not to use your deadly weapon. I didn't get it cause I felt now I'm going to be looked at as if I'm trained as a cop or military. Like i would know how to distinguish from a deadly threat to a non deadly threat just cause I have a permit now. I have seen people get beat senseless an heard of stories of people dying from someone hitting them with a punch (hand)(fist) in a spot in their head with one punch an they died! So if anyone knows now if that's considered as a deadly threat. I have seen videos where cops can use their pistols in that situation as even less then that. I seen a cop draw on someone just walking towards them an shoot. I'm not sure how that works now an if it matters if you feel your going to be beat to death an in that situation would you even be thinking clear enough to know not to save yourself with your firearm. Sorry for the rambling once I start typing I get carried away. Any advice in this situation or something like this seneraio? 32rounds in cup maybe 30 lol grr it's so hard to guess are they all big an small rounds in bottom of the cup too!!! So I'm in Florida down south near Miami. Laws do change an I know I should be able to make sure I know them. Any advice would be very appreciated!!! After watching this I hope I never end up in this scenario but the better prepared you are the greater chance to walk away from these kind of situation.
I concur...innumerable considerations on gun use and law make for a complex environ. SOLUTION: Ensure the body does not wash-up on shore. Joking. Sort of.
I got my CCL for Florida decades ago.. At the same time a also carried a lawyer on me as well. The laws often end up being more dangerous than the criminals you are trying to defend yourself against. Anytime you have a pistol on your right hip then you need to have lawyer on the left hip.

I just had a friends son shot a guy that had been harassing him and his girlfriend. They had restraining orders on this guy but one day he rammed their car and jumped out charging toward them and wanting to fight my friends son over this girl he is now dating. The guy didn’t have a weapon but my friends son ended up shooting him out of all the frustration of dealing with this guy who has shot his car up at his residence, stalking his girlfriend and is here illegally. He was arrested for shooting him and has yet to be charged and face the penalties of his actions. He didn’t realize that they guy had to have a weapon, threatening his or her life before he could use his gun in self defense. I feel bad for the guy because they were trying to use the law to jail this guy or get him deported and receive no relief from his terror. The guy chased them and used his truck to slam into their car and bring them to a stop. I’m not sure but I think a lot of people would have shot him if they were in this situation. Allow he had no weapon when he approached them so it was unlawful to shoot him. The bad thing about it is that he is still harassing them after being shot and the restraining orders have come to term and the courts are saying if they can’t find him and serve him they can’t issue a restraining order. Missouri smh.

Sounds like the common denominator here is the girl.. she is a trap. She ain’t worth it for either of the men she ruined.
That makes no sense. Fists have killed more people than bullets.
I'm sorry about what they have to go through. In my state (Utah) a car can be considered lethal force and we are allowed to respond in kind. We also have disparity of force reasoning that would allow a small guy like myself to use lethal force in defense against an unarmed big guy. I really hope that everything works out well in the end.
He's illegal? Best case, HE DISAPPEARS. No "victim" no crime. "He must have gone back to his own country."

My first carry permit was in 1982, as a businessman it was highly recommended by the sheriff where I lived. It's been an interesting 41 years!
I went through about 20 holsters before finding the best one for me to carry everyday from waking to bedtime! Secondly, being scared 😂death of mistakenly breaking the law. Third, actually having to use my firearm and ending up in prison, even though I did everything correctly, leaving my family with no income and father and husband! I started carrying everytime I left base while stationed in Alaska during 1990- 1995. I was well trained and proficient with firearms but had to study and learn the state and federal laws on my own!
hey what happened that caused you to be sent to prison? Was it self defense? Just curious.
Thank you

No problem. Thanks for your support!
I would tell myself, besides knowing the law, is to get a ratchet belt, research good holsters, and wear your conceal carry around the house to find what feels good, and to go lighter and smaller than you think. My Ruger LCP MAX weighs under a pound loaded and is comfortable enough you barely notice it. I like Vedder holsters
As always, great content! Thank you!
26 bullets! Enjoyed the video!!
There are 20 bullets in that cup. I do not have a firearm, although I've got my wife and I USCCA membership because we do support the 2nd Amendment. Not that I haven't owned them in the past or that we're not looking at firearms, just do not own/posses them at the moment. I strongly agree about the training (personal and legal) and practice for as many different positions and scenarios as possible (practice, practice, practice - until it becomes muscle memory). I retired from the military (spent time in the SOF community) and have trained over 15k individuals (various different countries) in various different tactical situations - it was always... practice, practice, practice.
When I do decide to purchase firearms - especially for her - it will be after we go through some of the different training videos and get honed up on the laws within the state/county/city. It might not be the manner to which others would do, but it's important that there is the understanding of laws before the hand touches the grip or stock to shoulder.
What I do not particularly care for is the outline of classes under the USCCA since you have to have "range time" before you can progress to the different levels of "training". I prefer to manage how progression is versus that of someone else.
I always appreciate your insights. 36 rds
I didn’t realize that it would become my 3rd arm and that I’d be more connected to it than my husband or children-out of necessity from the responsibility to make sure NO ONE ELSE can access it. I never realized it would become part of me in that sense.
147 rounds in the cup!
147 and 1/2!
32 rounds! Another great video guys!!!!
Thanks for the support
Vedder makes great kydex holsters.
Exceptional Information, great job Thanks
I would say 18 rounds
26 rounds. Keep up the good work guys!!
I was 21 when I got my concealed permit which consisted of 3 personal references and personal information that's all. A week later I had my permit from the local police department in New Hampshire. That all happened around 1986.
I have a question... If I see an active shooter, and I have my concealed permit and my firearm on me, Doing need to let him/her know I have a firearm or can I just use it in self defense?
Why would you let an active shooter know you have a Firearm? That’s a good way to be the next target before you even get your hand on your own weapon.
Show them your permit
Just put him down
Yea let me kno so I can blow u first then carry out my mission 💀 tf
Active shooters are very rare. A shoot out between two rival gangs are much more common. As a result you do not need to participate in every gun fight you come across and the state did not issue you a badge, handcuffs and qualified immunity. Also add the responsibility of not shooting another CCW holder or off duty cop by mistake.
13 bullets
55 is my guess
Thanks for all the education. It is invaluable! Legal protections are also very important. 33 in the cup.
I always get great information and something to think about from these videos. I appreciate you bringing these topics up.
I'm gonna guess 27 rounds in the cup.
Thank you for this video I'm thinking about getting my ccw. This helps with some concerns and questions I have.
Excellent video Team. Subjects like this is why I subscribe.
Guessing 17 rounds in the cup! Thank you
Loved this one guys, the holster basket is right on target. A holster is an accessory it has to match the gun. I don't carry everyday. I carry when it's appropriate. I've gone from 45's to 40's and now 9mm and some 380's. The 9mm is right for me, I pray I never have to use it. My membership with USCCA is the only reason I feel confident to carry at all. The laws are constantly changing. I grew up when hollow points were illegal, now they are required, what ever. I guess 38 rounds in the cup.
28 in the cup.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Terrifying to get a click and not a bang in heat of the moment.
The biggest challenge I have is all of the places that I’m not allowed to carry in NM. When I take or pick up my granddaughters from school, I can’t even have a gun in my car.
If I go to a restaurant after church and the restaurant has a bar or serves mixed drinks, I need to leave my firearm in my car.
I can’t carry to the doctor, dentist, post office, mall, and some stores.
Before I retired, I couldn’t have a gun in the car.
In Florida you can go to a restaurant that has a bar while you’re carrying, you just can’t sit at the bar.
Move
I’m not moving away from my granddaughters

If your life is “really” threatened and you save your life with “lethal force” you should walk entirely free from “any” prosecution either criminal or civil. Training and ammo are the items you spend your money on.

40 in the cup. Nice info!
Can you guys put out some informative videos on all or most of those "legal tripwires" that you have seen or heard about? And maybe some advice on how to avoid them.
Great video
60 rounds. I'm hoping that's 9mm since I tried simulating a cup about that size but it's hard to tell how big the cup is and how big those rounds are.
25 ROUNDS
After I watch these videos I don’t even want to carry

The burden of responsibility and blame is now on the one defending righteousness life and goodness not on the criminal. Truly if there was even a smidgen of justice in this country the blood of the people committing the crime would be on there own shoulders not the on those seeking to preserve life and liberty. Defense of the innocent would be rewarded not punished EVEN taking into consideration human error.
Also shame on the lawyers for choosing to defend the wicked for money...shame on judges for drawing paychecks to incarcerate the defenders of life...shame on the policemen and women for administering the unjust laws for a paycheck.
You guys should have told us what holsters you use and gun to save some people time and $
37 bullets are in the cup. Keep the Great Videos

I guessed that before looking at others input thinking I might be the only one saying 23, lol. Nope. 😂
Buying a blue gun replica of the gun you carry the most can solve a lot of training and holster issues.

I can say a few things first I appreciate you putting these videos out here for us that are a little less educated of these things, thank you very much. It's my second video I watched I usually watch self defense guy I think is what I searched or his videos are called, where he always plays real world videos. So I use to have a sig Sauer 40cal I had a holster it held an extra clip an I had an incident occur an it was taken from me an I couldn't even get it back from the courts. Now I just got a new creed 9mm. So with my 40cal an a Ruger acp 45cal, i was very very accurate with my 40 and my 45 I was also pretty good with hitting the target as far out as I could put the target at the shooting range. usually it was just too close at 10ft 15ft 20ft 25ft I would hit it with ease. I would hit my same holes almost at 15ft 20ft 25ft do to test myself an try to make it a bit harder I would put as far out as possible. Anyways I don't have a holster for this creed 9mm an suggestion for it to hold in side my pants or one that's an all around holster to buy. Now I just stick it in my pants when it's dark I'm in a bad area an don't like my surroundings, suspicious or shady looking people, if some walks to my window, I see someone come towards my car, I would grab it an hold on my lap, under my shirt in case I needed to use it at a gas station is a good place where random people walk up asking for money or cars come in and out regularly i keep it locked an loaded in that situation. I took the cc class and in this class they taught us what a deadly threat is an to distinguish what could be considered as one an to announce yourself as I'm armed an I will use it or I will shoot you if you don't step back or come towards me if they have a knife I see this being possible but if someone has a gun it would seem pretty dumb to say hey I got a gun if you don't get away I'll shoot now they are able to look an see you an if they are ready to shoot anyone for any reason now I am armed I didn't think that was a great way to defend yourself with a firearm. Any help or advice on that kind of situation??? Then my next question or a major concern in life is I people who have deadly hands, say someone trained in fighting as ufc or something in those lines, I was under the impression their hands are registered as deadly weapons? my question was for say I was getting beat senseless by someone that i was going in an out of consciousness, an i felt if i keep getting hit im going to die. I then asked is that a situation to use deadly force if I can get that chance to grab it an use it to save yourself? I was told no that it's not. I couldn't believe my ears!!!! maybe it's changed now since 2006 or 07 about. I was questioning that I asked if it's a trained fighter an your getting beat an you shoot them if I could get it out an shoot them off the top of me, or gain consciousness an grab it an they still keep coming back to beat you.I really didn't like the answer he gave I was torn by getting my permit. Also he said when you do get your cc permit. The courts will hold you on a level of now your a cc holder you should know better, all of the laws an now you will be held to a higher standard. He had this big book you can buy an learn all these laws but basically it's up to you to learn the laws when to use, when not to use your deadly weapon. I didn't get it cause I felt now I'm going to be looked at as if I'm trained as a cop or military. Like i would know how to distinguish from a deadly threat to a non deadly threat just cause I have a permit now. I have seen people get beat senseless an heard of stories of people dying from someone hitting them with a punch (hand)(fist) in a spot in their head with one punch an they died! So if anyone knows now if that's considered as a deadly threat. I have seen videos where cops can use their pistols in that situation as even less then that. I seen a cop draw on someone just walking towards them an shoot. I'm not sure how that works now an if it matters if you feel your going to be beat to death an in that situation would you even be thinking clear enough to know not to save yourself with your firearm. Sorry for the rambling once I start typing I get carried away. Any advice in this situation or something like this seneraio? 32rounds in cup maybe 30 lol grr it's so hard to guess are they all big an small rounds in bottom of the cup too!!! So I'm in Florida down south near Miami. Laws do change an I know I should be able to make sure I know them. Any advice would be very appreciated!!! After watching this I hope I never end up in this scenario but the better prepared you are the greater chance to walk away from these kind of situation.

I concur...innumerable considerations on gun use and law make for a complex environ.
SOLUTION: Ensure the body does not wash-up on shore.
Joking. Sort of.

I got my CCL for Florida decades ago.. At the same time a also carried a lawyer on me as well. The laws often end up being more dangerous than the criminals you are trying to defend yourself against. Anytime you have a pistol on your right hip then you need to have lawyer on the left hip.
That's why you DONT CALL THE COPS. Dig a hole or if not home, just leave.
This should be told to every person
