Interview With Store Owner Who Shot Robbers Exposes The Failure Of Gun Control

[@johnwood551]

Back in the 50’s & 60’s we had gun safety classes in school. We had rifle teams and we even carried guns across campus and NO ONE WAS EVER SHOT OR KILLED ! Our Movie Heroes even did gun safety on their shows and gun safety around the country at schools. See if you could get a modern day movie star (who makes millions using guns in their movies) to give a talk to kids about gun safety and responsibility!!

[@scottcantdance804]

I always hear people talking about how when they were in high school, in the '50s, '60s, or 70s, they had rifle practice during gym or after school or something, and would have rifles in the school, or on a gun rack in their truck, and it blows my mind. Society has been broken over the decades, and it absolutely seems deliberate, planned and orchestrated.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Even when I went to school in the 90s and 2000s my school help me get through my hunter safety and safety classes in general. Ironically my woodshop and metal shop teacher taught us all kinds of cool stuff about building firearms and how to build wooden stocks and other furniture, along with metal parts as well.

I am also 80. Eighteen months ago, at night, I was forced within our own home to use my Glock to defend my wife and myself from a violent intruder. The police, when they arrived, were great and they had responded as quickly as humanly possible to our initial 911 call, but in the fourteen minutes before they arrived we were on our own. Through teamwork in fighting off the intruder and wounding him with our firearm, WE WERE ON OUR OWN. They arrested the man, still within our home, and all ended OK, but without the firearm, training to use it, and situational awareness we would have been toast. Everything you talk about is true and so, so important. Thank you.

Sounds like you need more range time since you stated that the police arrested the intruder. Glad you and your wife were not hurt.

[@Schwarzvogel1]

@@drtmi8789 That's quite gauche of you to say that he needs more range time just because he didn't kill the intruder. The whole point of self-defence is to *stop* your assailant, not necessarily to kill him. What happens to him after you stop his attack or not is immaterial at the time of the assault. Did Mr. Jenkins manage to stop his assailant before the perp was able to harm him and his wife? Yes. So it sounds like Mr. Jenkins' training and range time paid off pretty damn well... and since the intruder didn't die, he isn't potentially facing a homicide or even murder charge due to overzealous prosecutors who like to hammer innocent, law-abiding people with more fervor than they go after career criminals. Moreover, he doesn't have to live with the fact that he ended another human's life, because unless you are some sort of psychopath, actually killing another human being will change you forever.

This tired old semantics argument... the AR platform was purposely designed for military use as an assault rifle... the lack of select fire is hardly a game-changer as full-auto isn't typically used, even in combat. I'm pro gun and pro ar, but these silly arguments bug me. Assault Rifles like the AR are designed for military use against armed combatants, which is exactly why we need them to uphold the 2nd amendment. The argument that they are "too deadly" is a circular one--why would you prevent your "well regulated militia" from having an effective weapon?

Our country has allowed and pushed divorce and rewards single moms as hero’s. When things go bad everyone says where was the dad. The dad was disrespected and made to leave and pay the ex and given a few weeks in the summer and every other weekend in most cases. This is even if the wife cheated found a new boyfriend the dad pays and loses his children. We need at fault divorce where a judge and jury get down to why divorce is the only answer and who is at fault. If a man beats or cheat he goes to jail for 6 months then pays when he gets out. If a woman beats or cheats she gets the same treatment. This will greatly reduce people stepping outside their marriage.

Is the district attorney one of the soft on criminals and hard on self defense shooting that George Soros has helped to get elected all over the country? Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis just had to suspend one of those district attorneys in the Tampa, Florida area. George Soros has spent 100’s of millions to get these soft on crime and criminals D.A.’s elected, another one that was recalled was in San Francisco where he had just let the criminals takeover the streets and of course the crime wave has been horrible with murder rates soaring. There’s the one in NYC as well that was going to try that elderly Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 man who immigrated legally and he became a US citizens 15 years ago as well. This was caught completely on camera and the backlash from the NYC citizens became huge and the bad D.A. dropped the charges. Of course there shouldn’t have ever been any charges but these D.A.’s are causing havoc in the big blue cities across America and in other red states too. It was such a traumatic experience on him (the self defense stabbing w/ box cutter) plus the fact he spent a week in the horrific Metropolitan City Jail because the D.A. tried to go after him for second degree murder and his bail was set originally at $500,000. which his family couldn’t pay but they got it dropped to $50k and he was released. That added to the trauma he was already facing plus he moved to upstate New York (just to get out of NYC) he decided that once he’s through seeing his therapist and doctor for his trauma induced PTSD that he’s returning to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 because he doesn’t feel his rights are safe in America anymore. That breaks my heart to know because this man came here legally 30+ years ago did everything the right way, worked hard for his wife and children then in his golden years the horrible leftists have treated him so bad that he’s leaving to return to the D.R. 🇩🇴 because he can’t trust America because of the deep state government we’re under right now. I’m sorry to hear about the same happening on the OKC case and I’d bet the D.A. is one of these rogue leftists George Soros funded candidates that won and its horrible for so many reasons. It could be that the D.A. is just a weak kneed conservative that was afraid to stand up for what’s right but it’s not right in any case!!!!! P.S.

When I lived in California I went through the process to get my CCW permit. From beginning to end it took about 9 months, during Covid. It was a long process, most of which was just waiting but it was well worth it to be able to carry in such a restrictive state. A few months after getting my permit I ended up moving back to Texas. Even though Texas was becoming a constitutional carry state I went through the LTC (License to Carry) process because of the extra protections you get as well as the extra places you can go which is a lot more. From beginning to end, the fingerprinting, class and qualification it only took 10 business days. Carry everywhere you can legally.

Back in the day, children’s exposure to firearms was a responsible, safety, protection, food, and plinking oriented event. Nowadays, it’s violent movies and video games. It revolves around military, police, and crime. No wonder everyone fears firearms, sees them as a source of horror and death, and utilizes them for that. Obviously violent video games don’t impact violent tendencies. HOWEVER, it does create a stigma and perception of firearms, just like it creates a stigma and perception of war, just as all media does for any topic or real world references depicted. No child with an exposure to AR-15’s based in the real world, growing up with an understanding of using them for hunting, target shooting and self defense, would believe it to be some mass murdering weapon of war only military personnel should have. They’d understand pretty quick that it’s purpose ISN’T just to hurt people, it’s merely a tool. They’d understand other firearms can do the exact same, and banning the AR-15 does nothing but set a precedent for future guns to be banned, and is just another step in eroding gun rights. Thinking on it now, I think when I get older and have kids, I’ll probably introduce them to firearms in person, minimizing their exposure to it through video games until I explain the gravity of it, how to be safe, and the reason for owning and training with a firearm. I’ll teach them to respect it, to understand what it’s capable of, and what law abiding citizens use it for- the pleasure of target shooting, the ability to provide and our responsibility to protect. I guess I better pray God blesses this country long enough for me to be able to even buy firearms by then, even if most of this country scorns Him…

If I can teach them properly now when they get older they'll have a better grasp on the reality of firearms. Lord willing they can pass that along to a friend who doesn't have someone to teach them.

We used to go hunting as kids and around lunch time, we would empty our guns (single and double barrel shotguns), leave them cracked open and head into the store to get food. Nothing out of the ordinary. But we were also taught (sometimes with physical punishment) how to handle a gun safely and how to respect people and weapons. We never brought guns to a fistfight and we damn were taught consequences.... The human makes the decision, not the weapon.

Yep in the 1970's it was like that, and gun crime was much higher than it is now.

The whole idea of self defense has been twisted. The years where a fist fight was even fair are gone. That was 50s and 60s TV BS to begin with.

@@djlabs1975 Gun crime goes up and down. In the 70s, few states allowed people to carry guns. Now, many states allow people to carry guns. You must be agreeing with those who say allowing people to carry guns has resulted in less crime. But the new SCOTUS ruling puts a stop to all arguments against carrying (obviously also owning) guns. We have the human right to carry tools of freedom and self-defense. FDR was the first to go after white people's guns. He also had the blood of (at a minimum) 120,000 Jews on his hands. Some historians say the real number is many times that. There is a Jewish organization, not unlike our NRA, that fights for the human right to defend your life. With guns.

Until it does, but we just see a victim was shot dead. No known suspects were caught and appears they were robbed.

This man is a true legend if there ever was. "I see what you're carrying... I'm not waiting." Actions speak way louder than any dumbass law that tells someone crime is more illegal now when they never gave f*ck in the first place. This sends a message to criminals that thing a big gun is going to make us lay down. We aren't waiting.

this was such a good video, on how things can happen in a split second. I applaud this store owner and you also for airing this and giving your thoughts and explanation of why we as citizens need to be aware of our surroundings and to be able to carry a weapon for self protection.
