Life lesson, never, ever sit in your vehicle without keeping all doors locked.
Yeah dude I live in Canada and all we can carry is our blades, that too only for any other reason then self defense, and knowing what I know I know how dangerous being inside a vehicle is especially when the does unlocked and Ur strapped in Ur fcked, so yeah keeping them doors locked is the best idea always!
Why was your door unlocked in the first place ? Do you have power door locks ? If so wouldn't have been easier, safer and wiser to LOCK the door, rather than deploying and nearly using your weapon ? Seems to me being prepared starts with the basics, such as locking the doors, lot smarter than making things more complicated, and potentially deadly
@@ITILII
Great stuff!! New to your channel. Loving it all. Situational awareness really is the BEST self defense. Way to go guys. Keep it up. Be safe, always.
Head on a swivel.
Not always easy to be alert. Put the phone down once in a while I suppose.
You really have to have eyes in the back of your head these days.
In my jammies, have my teddy bears and my pup, covered in blankeys watching this. Also my SIG 556 next to the beddy.
Sig 2340 on my nightstand!
Good feeling no matter the firearm. Sig p365 for me.
In addition to situational awareness, trusting your instincts is so vital.
My teenage daughter and I were just talking about situational awareness today. She is lovely but doesn’t quite have the understanding of how quick things can go wrong if you are not aware. I know, because I was like her when I was young, and it was only after some pretty freaky experiences that I learned to watch my surroundings more carefully. So I told her of some of the things that opened my eyes. She was shocked and hopefully it made her think a little.
Anyhoo... that last bit had me cracking up. 😆 I’m a supporter of people who need help to seek it, but good lord... this was a perfect parody of people I know in real life!🙄
Situational awareness ties in with The Seven P's: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Good story to motivate me to become more aware and prepared. Thanks for sharing.
My takeaway is keep doors locked at all times if your in the vehicle. Be predisposed to driving away if your spidey senses detect something wrong. Don’t sit in your vehicle stopped and do distracting things. Glad it worked out in a good way for everyone involved.
All our cars have the option to auto lock when you start driving and this story is why I leave that on.
I follow other channels that cover defensive shootings and the real lesson here is DRIVE AWAY.
Great information. Thank you for the video.
Dude, you got lucky. A drugged up freak may not turn away & leave. I agree with the old beard man. Road miles & many times around the block leads to life's wisdom.
Glad you had a learning experience and able to survive it to share with us.
Thanks for the reminder! 🇺🇸
Situational awareness at all times and always be prepared is what I tell my son every morning when he heads to school
I've had several similar incidents to the one you described, so just because it hasn't happened to you....yet, don't think it won't. America has become a much more dangerous place to live in over the last 20 odd years. And I haven't seen anything indicating it's about to get safer. In fact just the opposite has happened, the danger level has increased. So we must also increase our levels of awareness and preparation.
The guy was looking for his uber 🤣
Loved that....”stay out of the road, car wins every time...”
Nice chats and cameraderie guys...
When pulled off the road in this situation, always leave the vehicle running and lock the doors.
Really appreciate you sharing this. Heeding the warning.
Love the little skit at the end! Too funny!🤣😂
Your gut instinct is the Holy Spirit letting you know something isn’t right...Don’t EVER ignore it!!!
@Mark DeLabete it’s really sad that parents raise their children & never teach them about God. Wouldn’t your rather believe & find out that there isn’t a God than to not believe, die & find out that there is??? What do you have to lose?
@Mark DeLabete you’ll find out soon enough just how wrong you are. May God have mercy on you...
You guys are adorable ❣️ love these videos thank you! 🤣
cracked me up at the end you two >_< Great video! Situational awareness is severely lacking by MOST drivers I see out on the road; let alone everyday life lol
There’s a difference between responsibility and deserving. No one deserves to be attacked in their car but it’s your responsibility to take all the precautions.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing.
Lol! ¨You have to focus¨ ha ha ha! Awesome guys, and great talk too. Subbed!
You're exactly right you most definitely have to be attentive constantly. Now I'd like to say something about what you said about adrenaline or jitteriness when you're hunting. I have never felt that when I hunt or I'm getting ready to shoot my game. I would like to get that adrenaline rush but I never do. I just don't understand I guess. Y'all have a great day and stay safe! TQ out
The old Boy Scout motto, Be Prepared, is still true.
Jason, you were very fortunate that nothing else happened!! It could have gone south and sour very quickly! Thankfully you were on alert and at the ready if need be. However, I agree with the other commentators as to drive away quickly would be your first line of defense, drawing your weapon as last resort!! Situational awareness is definitely very critical these days!!
Great stuff brother! Glad that it turned out well!
I ALWAYS lock all my doors when I get in it.
You are living the life I want in a place like I dream
Same
I had a junkie try to open my door while I was getting my groceries situated inside my car. I've always instinctively locked the door in the same motion as closing it, so they were deterred and I was able to drive away.
I also had someone trying to get into my house in the middle of the night. It turned out to be my drunk next door neighbor. He had walked back from a party and couldn't read the house numbers and thought it was his house. All of the houses in the row were identical from the outside.
Always lock your doors as soon as you close them. You never know if a drunk neighbor will come in and find a stranger in "their" house and react violently.
Great info and entertaining ending!
A few years ago my wife was walking out of a store and started getting harassed for money. The guy wasn’t talking no for an answer and kept advancing. She ended up kicking him straight in the crotch. For context, my wife is a former big 10 all American soccer player and works out a lot. That dude is still probably searching for his testies. Funny story but it could have gone worse. She carries religiously now.
So many don’t realise the power of a good hard kick there. If a woman is about to get attacked by another woman a good hard kick there will still hurts a lot. As will a good stomp kick to the upper stomach or chest. It gains precious seconds.
Might want to consider electric locks on your next truck.
Excellent idea, but on some vehicles (Toyotas for sure, since I have one), when/if you put the vehicle in park, it unlocks ALL the doors. If there is a way to change this, I'm not aware of it yet. I've developed the habit of manually hitting the lock button unless I'm actually getting out.
@@MSB-rq9xd oh shoot! Had no idea Toyota’s did that! Boy is that unsafe. Was thinking about a Toyota as my next vehicle but that really makes me shake my head. Thanks for that info about the locks
Love my old truck because it doesn't have central locking; passenger door always locked and my door lock tab is right under my elbow. Also, if it looks "sketchy" I'll keep it in gear (manual drive) with my feet on the pedals.
Oh, look, it's my two favorite people from this channel :D
Probably should have said something about it to your friend too, just in case.
Also make it obvious to a possible assailant that you are aware of them and your situation.Let it known you are switched on,a possible assailant would mostly think twice.
Gotcha
The instant I get in my car, I lock my doors.
👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside though that could of ending up a whole lot worse. Whether it’s a older or newer vehicle I always have the doors lock no matter who’s with me or where I’m at. What would of bother me is him trying to do that to somebody else. Calling law enforcement would of been step one and try to help them catch this guy. There are two options for people like that. Lock them up or six feet under. At the end of the day knowing that they were off the streets or not able to hurt anybody else would of put me at ease. Thank God you made it out safe and able to go home.👍🍻
Pay that, top ending
Sorry bro. The instant you said you saw a sketchy dude walking straight toward your truck, I said to myself, "dude, put down the dang phone and drive away. " You never had ANY reason to skin your smoke-wagon, and in some states, that dude could have snagged your plate number and had you arrested for assault/brandishing. True story. Love the content with Alan though! Thanks for sharing!
+1 for power locks.
+1 for automatic power door locks.
+1 for psychiatric help.
I'm actually a high alert female since being single, older and such my head is on a swivel and eyes looking for movement. Not paranoid but enough to stay safe. I always keep my doors locked and I keep my backseat filled up with "trash" because we have had homeless people get into employee vehicles to sleep. One was in the backseat and the employee didn't notice until she went to the back to put her groceries inside. Scary stuff and you don't have to live in a big city for things to happen.
Great video love watching u guys together
Common sense tells you to NEVER EVER allow yourself to be put into that situation by stopping at any place unlit,unpeopled,having no security(lol) visible or anywhere where someone can materialise out of thin air and be right at your door... Common sense also says to always travel with all of your doors locked and weapon at hand... Dangggg!!! That was you??? I wasted 40bux on an Uber Lyft to go see my fellow vet friend down to the VA and you skeert me by pulling your sidearm like that... I thought you was my Uber taxi... Instead I spent the next half hour showering and changing my draws n socks... But seriously situational awareness knows no quitting time or safe places...
See ya on the next one
My car doors are locked at all times, even when I stop to pump gas. Lock your doors at all times.
When stuff like that happens so fast it’s hard to compute what the threat is really up to- But I’d say he probably was going to jack you and was armed himself with a knife or something. Because he didn’t wave or say something through the window, it probably wasn’t an attempted drug sale. The second he tried to open your door he posed a potentially deadly threat. Good job living to tell about it.
Dang! 😨 Those meth-for-breakfast guys in hoodies are bad dudes. That's why you always see them in those home invasion commercials. Could have been Corn Pop! Makes me feel like I need therapy, too. Glad you survived to relive that horrifying episode for us. Next time I park at a closed-up gas station, vacant except for the weeds in the crevasses, see a freaky, sketchy looking character in a hoodie approaching my ve-hickle, I will lay in on the horn, reach over and lock the passenger door, then make a quick come back and lock mine, while shouting my location to my buddy on the phone, then go to snapping pics, converting to video, engaging my 5000 lumen flashlight, while drawing my side piece. So glad you survived. Sounds like you have a good Dr too! 🤓
Y'all are hilarious...
As an over-the-road truck driver, the riots were a concern to me, I thought about carrying Roman candle fireworks up on my front dash, what do you think
More than a few times I have been approached when filling my bassboat at gas stations. Usually in Florida and these are always the same Folks. Half the time they circle the area on a bicycle first.
As they approach, I make it clear that they should stay back, I have no money to give and do not want to talk to anyone. They will say something like "sure you have money as you have this fine bassboat". I repeat my command and am very focused on the situation. No chatter with anyone else. Also, I do not show disrespect but make sure they I have zero fear of them.
I have even pulled the pump handle out of the gas tank and pointed it (but not in a threatening manner) at them when at a distance. Otherwise, I move around the boat or jump on the boat and repeat myself.
Truck is always locked as long as I am in the truck and locked when I am outside the truck. Wife even knows that vehicles are locked once we are inside them and always at gas stations or when the vehicles are in Park.
I am always prepared but, you never know.
Note: If you ever have to draw, it could cost you $$$ if the POS calls the Police.
Be well.
🤙
Here in Canada we would have too drive away, they won't let us carry.
I feel bad for you guys, I'm currently in NY state, which is almost as bad as canada (They do issue concealed carry permits but the whole process takes months and is a pain in the ass), but at least I could move to any number of free states where they still respect individual rights. You guys have nowhere to go. I hope to move to probably Texas in the coming years.
@Cyndi Rothrock who am I Davy Crockett, don't feel like getting up close and personal in a knife fight.
@Cyndi Rothrock I hear you, it's a crazy world when guys can just go into ladies washrooms now..you seem like a very nice person and street smart. I would not say I am street smart, grew up in the bush..if any one was to come to my world an try and screw with me. I do keep a 30-30 loaded in the cabin..and I do feel I am a master in my domain..
Please stay safe..
He is very lucky
when you hit the door lock why didn't the passenger side engage?
So being Canadian and not having the ability to carry I’m sitting here yelling at my TV “JUST FUCKING DRIVE OFF DUDE!!!” Lol
Edit: consider your life trajectory shooting the guy vs just driving off. What would the potential legal cost be for the first case vs just leaving the situation in your mirror?
Also, what if he what an honest hard working guy who thought you were offering him a ride? Drive off dude, drive off! :-)
Dude. That guy was buyin or sellin and he thought you were there to do business.
Probably thought you were there to buy
Just keep doors locked and put the car in gear and move to another spot to finish your call! Invest in non lethal weapons like pepper spray.... It's use is a lot easier to defend than killing an unarmed guy who thought you were his ride, or looking for a handout?
Great video but you guys are nuts. Always something funny. Take care and ⌚ ur 6 in ur truck or not!!!
in your story you did everything wrong. you said "I did not break stride" meaning you had enough forethought to put the truck in gear and evac out of your surroundings. drawing your weapon and threatening another life is a last resort. in this case there was another option.
Absolutely. The first thing you learn in officer survival is “Exit The Kill Zone “. Put it in gear and go!
😱
Surprised you just did not drive off.
Maybe be a little paranoid i don't know but I try not to sit 8n a parked car. However if I do I usually have my firearm out and easily accessible whether its at sonic or Walmart. Never have had that experience but I do know people who have.
Anybody know what pants Jason is wearing?
His big boy pants
LOL
You were not aware. You let that person proceed. You should have diors locked. You should have driven away soon as things got sketchy. You should have hung up phone and called 911. Allways go smarter. I walk around every day at ease that ill take on every single person i meet. Once you do that then your at peace.
Dude seriously, you admit you didn’t lock the passenger side door and acknowledged you thought about it, drew on a questionable threat (“and almost smoked him”) and the. Have hind sight thinking maybe he thought you were his ride...speculating he was a drug addict is no excuse. I carry and I agree 100% with situational awareness but you’re coming off on here like you need validation for your huge almost fuck up
