Sean Callanan I think John used to call them "Motochorros"

[@mcjon77]

Yep, because of robberies and assasinations Back when I used to live in Medellin, I knew a foreigner who REALLY pissed off some of the local criminal element, so they took a hit out on him. For about 3 weeks, there were two guys on a motorcycle riding by his house EVERYDAY. Funny enough, after he smoothed things over with the local mob boss the two guys on the motorcycle were never seen near his house again..

[@edwardhellwig4501]

Sean Callanan I was visiting my sister in Guatemala & I remember that one of her friends in the Peace Corp, told me that it was illegal for two people to ride a motorcycle because it was too easy to conceal an 'ak' or any short automatic rifle between the driver & the passenger then swing it down & 'spray' a crowd or an individual!!

If I was in a bike and sees a big ass dude looking at me, i wouldnt even see his gun. but for the bandits instance they were there to mug. and they are also looking for "easy pickings" but as soon as they saw that gun they bugged out.

You're somewhere like that and you see 2 dudes come up on one of those, and then turn back around towards you, the odds that they're initiating a peaceful/benevolent encounter are practically nonexistent.

Yeah. Imagine if God would be a person, we would call him a psychopath and keep him locked up for life.

I'm 63 years old. I live in California USA. Up to this point in my life I have visited 45 countries, mostly in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Never in my life have I ever had the necessity or desire to own a self-defense weapon, other than my brain.

2 guys on a 🏍 are dangerous and them turning right around in front of the party on the 1 way street. That was the give away, turning back up the wrong way they were up to no good. Great save . Great video of it all.

Hey i'm from Germany and you help'd me with your videos, i had a fight with a guy on hard chemical drugs the guy want to fight me and i keep him away from me with one hand no punches hit me and than he put a butterfly knife out and he hit with the knife but i keep him away with kicks in his inside elbow where the knife hold than the knife dropd and i go. And this is finally good i see your videos and make that what you say. Good job make it more

Howard Guy , he IS Just a brasilian Cop from são Paulo, Brazil. Im also a cop (in Rio ) and i act always the same way, when i see 2 guys riding a byke like that.

[@theone3337]

Little Star Bis /Guerrero é ruim demais I too think that this is in Brazil and not Dominican Republic. He could be a cop, but seeing 2 Mercedes, I think that he’s a bodyguard for a wealthy family. Anyways, I’m sure that armed bodyguards and cops act the same way around 2 suspect looking males riding on motorcycles

[@stickemoji5363]

I’m not sure why this video was recommended to me? I know very little about this stuff... but that was clearly a body guard who was either well trained or has good experience. He was clearly on the job though. So my takeaway isn’t that I need a gun, but instead I should live in a safe place where guns aren’t needed... and then if I travel to an unsafe place, don’t get a gun... hire a guy like this guy! That way I can enjoy my day and I don’t have to be “on-guard” 24/7.

[@Kushal-xs3qo]

The speed he unchambered his gun, wow

anthony kobe I understand that kobe. But sometimes just having situational awareness is the best skill in your arsenal. Crooks are cowards. And a lot of times it's easy to run them off. Go down fighting if you have to. Don't be a victim.

[@ExploringWithYayati]

He definitely an Loyal, Highly paid, Skilled & trained body guard. Definitely his actions overlook he might have army background. Hats off for defending the family.

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

When I took my CCW training in Ohio, they said that the only time you take your gun out is if you intend to use it and if you do take it out you better use it. In other words, it is never okay in Ohio to display your weapon in your hand. Unfortunate.

[@angryhusky2467]

That guy on the truck is soo cool with this 😂😂

[@ZachBillings]

Nice work. Based on my research, this is totally legal to do here in NH (became so, after a specific case in 2007). The best self defense with a firearm is when you can use it to stop the crime before it even takes place.

[@ActiveSelfProtection]

Yeah I just want to be careful not to give blanket advice because states differ. Before 2009 this would land you in jail in Arizona. After 2009, justifiable.

[@thebeast3152]

Active Self Protection Do you know about Texas laws on this specific situation?

tregua24 in Dr a guy onda corner dressed up, nice looking in shape, and have a gun is most liklee a drug dealer too.

[@Cast1]

Yes that happened in the Dominican Republic. It was definitely a robbery attempt. And it happens every fucking day in the country. But over there he could have shot them dead no problem. Same goes for the robber they could have kill him or any Innocent bystander and if they has some good money to pay they would have been out in a few month, “out on bail.” Laws only works there if you got money or if you mess with someone with political power.

[@recklesswhisper]

Yep... so they'll go around the corner and do the same thing to somebody without a gun. ^..^~~

[@patricktibbits5475]

per uscca, in most states, “brandishing” is not a legally defined term. In fact, only five states (Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Virginia and West Virginia) currently have laws on the books that directly reference brandishing.

[@TheManny1952]

As a young airman and wife and child, traveling in my vehicle on leave in the midwest. We stopped to fuel up when my gut made me look up towards the store front. I saw4 young men walking directly towards me and family. Told my wife to hand me my revolver in the car. Took it and played it on top of the car. As I was doing that they split up and disappeared. I stood ready to unload 4 tons if needed. Thank DOD no need. Circa 1976
