Sadly I went through this in Compton, I only had my .357 after I shot one guy the others gave up but I ended up spending 41 days in jail before the charges were dropped, because I had a criminal record from dumb decisions before - thank you for informing people about this.
The "oopsie" got me. I'm under no illusions, as a not-former-operator, if my family isn't inside, I ain't clearing it. That said, I learned a few things, thanks!
Nor should you. Many different ways to observe the property and call law enforcement. I have plenty of "gear" and some tactical training but the most I would do is drop my kids off at a neighbor or friend or down the street and block their car with mine and gtfo of there and call police. Should I happen to have a rifle on me at the time (not likely), I guess I would grab it and have it at the ready just in case. But main point is I would not go into the house with an unknown number of adversaries if no ones life is in danger. Blocking there vehicle prevents a quick getaway and prevents them stealing anything larger than what they can carry while running away on foot.
I had just pulled into my driveway when my camera inside the living room went off. I immediately jumped out of the truck with my carry pistol, popped the door and made entry. Right away I noticed a temperature increase, this was during the summer, so I backed out and went back to my truck. After checking the camera app on my phone I noticed it said temperature notification, my AC had gone out during the day. Relieved, I went back in and my dog was like bro it's hot as hell in here and I realized how quickly I had reacted. Yeah, I could have died if it was an intruder, but I'm not the type of person who relies on others for something I can do myself. Point of the story is the cops aren't required to help you anymore, having a mindset where you don't rely on them is better for what our future holds. Yes, it's just property, but it's my property and I worked damn hard for it, not going to wait minutes for cops to come and then try and arrest me for whatever reason like I've had them do in the past. We rely too much on first responders and waste their time, so I decided over 3 years ago never again unless it's an actual emergency.
I think there’s a valuable rule here, and he touches on it pretty hard: If something is not worth dying for, it’s not worth killing for. The person wouldn’t be threatening your life, if you weren’t actively hunting him. In this scenario, as he said, the best course of action is to call 911 and record what’s happening. If a family member is in the house, it’s a different story…
Yep sometimes your better off with an unregistered weapon than a registered one 💡 good luck everyone and best of protection for life. Self defense your American right. God bless !
@@GodsWordNotMines yes many cameras everywhere you are correct but the crooks/intruders could of brought it with them 🤔 just saying….. As of recent estimates, there are approximately 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States. This number is based on various sources, including surveys, firearms production data, and registration records. However, it's important to note that estimating the exact number of guns in the country can be challenging due to factors such as “UNregistered” firearms and changes in ownership over time. You need to know a guy who knows a guy that knows a guy and so on 😂….but I think those numbers are much lower than reality. If you’re from the country you know where to go. Godbless ✌🏼
@@GWNM5397 even a small town medical examiner will be able to tell the difference between someone who was hit standing verse hit already downed. If you not willing to go to jail for it don't do it.
I’m a big fan of how you mention that sometimes the best choice is just stay outside and let the cops do the work. Sometimes the best way to fight is not to.
In SA there's no such thing, you call the cops and you would wait for 1 or 2 days for them to arrive, by that time robbers would have cleared your home out completely and only leave you with the walls, but then again if you approach the criminals you're also not allowed to shoot them unless they shoot you first, as ridiculous as that seems, it's the unfortunate truth. In SA you have to be battling for your life before you can defend yourself and the gun laws and justice system is so messed up,corrupt and flawed that you cannot even own a firearm yet criminals are given ARs and all sorts of firearms by the military and the police that they then use against you, and even if you do what they tell you to, they will still kill you, but hey we're not allowed to fight back, the slightest sign of self defense will land you in prison whilst the criminals walk free. You guys in the US should really appreciate the laws you have. Here if a criminal kills you, guess what? They will be out the very next day with a bailout of $100🙈
@D56 LMAO!!! 😂😂. Yeah I kinda had that same thought! 😂... if they knew who lived there they'd pick not only a different house but a different neighborhood lol
If I knew my family wasn’t in the house and my kids were with me I’d call the cops and wait. I need to train for the scenarios that require me to approach and enter. Truly appreciate your videos!
@@electroniccheeks I used to live in a rural area and no agency patrolled in our area from 1am - 6am. It would be at least an hour before any agency would arrive. That was when I got my first firearm and training.
@@frogmantactical If I had your skills I might need a Dually pickup to haul around my Ego. Oh wait, I think my wife says that about me already. Not about my skills, just my ego.😂
Jason as an Army infantry veteran thank you for putting this information out there. Given the current state of issues in this country this is some of the most valuable and important information.
HILLO988 Thank You for your Brave Service&to your Family as you train&defend our USA & our Freedom's against foreign are domestic threats to any of our Amendment's&Liberty/Freedom.
Same here, 11B. It so valuable to know what the laws are in each state as we've been bred to press the fight forward. I've lived all over the US and the current and last state are constitutional carry but have very different defense laws.
Very well done and with a bit of humor... Too many of these types of training videos are presented with an overbearing sense of authority by individuals that are too busy trying to show they are warriors instead of focusing on the task at hand and being able to laugh. Thank you for the video and for having a sense of humor.
Im currently going through the ringer by a malicious prosecutor in missouri when i caught a pair of drug addled burglars breaking into my building. Im charged with 1st degree murder and armed criminal action despite meeting every single bit of criteria for castle doctrine and stand your ground. Out on 100,000 bond and still fighting for my life for defending myself at 3am.
Sorry to hear they. Even when we are innocent weak pathetic prosecutors have one job. To prosecute, and it can cost you everything. If you ever need to talk send a text 830-370-1905 🙏
Would definitely call law enforcement first. However it’s always a good decision to run scenarios & build that muscle memory in case you are in a situation where your family is in danger. Love your content very informative & helpful
@@aishefasani5635 Non law enforcement ppl who run pretend shootout scenarios are usually single. So your fake scenario about about him being married, in the overall fake scenario, doesn’t hold water….
Thank you for this info. In Taxachusetts, home defense by firearm is so legally tricky. My primary defense are home cams, lots of ext motion lights and 2 quite aggressive dogs. Your approach has me thinking more about my homes blindsides and where to improve where I store multiple firearms for quick access or backup
@@mrjon75Deadly force in Texas is fairly regulated. Just being on someone's property doesn't constitute deadly force, and even forced entry requires that you provide reasonable proof of bodily injury or death to you or any member of the public. Holding someone at gunpoint is not illegal, but neutralizing a threat without a weapon requires a burden of proof. It also depends on the DA and how aggressively they pursue your case.
It happens. Ask the kids who thought it was a good idea to kill Marcus Luttrell's (The Lone Survivor for anyone reading this and doesn't know) dog. God has to really hate you to give you luck like that. th-cam.com/video/U2eoMGhIN3o/w-d-xo.html
Y’all need capable firearms, training, and a serious security system. The racial genocide you guys are experiencing is sickening. God’s speed and my prayers are with you all.
Great advice! I live in a rural area with little police presence and very long wait times. I've started training over the past year and a half just in case. Thank you for helping with the tactics.
@@electrictroy2010 some property can not be replaced. I have to wait 45 minutes for an ambulance, no telling how long law enforcement will be. I’m not waiting on anyone.
@@electrictroy2010 unless it’s family heirlooms, a sentimental object from a deceased loved one, etc. let alone potentially stolen firearms, medication, etc that could be used to harm others
Excellent! You presented this scenario perfectly. I respect the way you advised the law and skill set pertaining to what you were presenting. Safety rounds are more prevalent now days due to the availability of body armor. Much respect to you for explaining the legality of Safety rounds and pushing forward into an empty house, it looks cool but the war in the courtroom has different rules of engagement. We are not in TEXAS anymore!
Very informative. Something I've been struggling with in training, mindset, and such. It seems these days calling the "professionals" is only for documentation after the fact. After the damage is done. But in the same token, an individual pushing forward to stop what they can not or will not stop makes you an enemy of the state. Seems the common man looses either way.
Also frogman...fellow Texan here. My comment could be considered foolish pride or something. I call it "the guy that wants to be left alone getting tired of not being left alone" .lol
Toxic Masculinity Yes, the January 6 victims who did nothing wrong and has been rotting in prison for two years with no due process, getting targeted and physically abused in prison and STILL no court date. Yes, VICTIMS
I love that you mention that if you know where your family is that its a choice whether or not you should push forward. Things can be replaced. Your life cant be
The tactics are really good. As a an ex tactic instructor and actual operational chief for prime responders in Geneva/Switzerland, it comes of great help… even though we do have way different legal mindset concerning self and home defense
Totally agree ( I was in the Army before ) but I would never go inside my own house knowing that my family is not there and without intel. I would have flatten the truck tires and call the police and give them the truck information. If you want to protect your house, have a well trained dog, video cameras everywhere and we should never forget that are houses have insurance so we can recover everything but I would never get inside my own house without full intel. The legal consequences is something that I would like to never face so I could end up in prison for the rest of my life. No way ! I think that weapons are to defend ourselves and to use them only as a last resort when my family's life and /or mine, are in indisputable danger. At that point, kill, kill and kill till you are free of any threat. No regrets. Enemies are targets not humans in my mine !
We Europeans need this form of home protection as lawless immigrants are pervasive. As a Frenchman in our open air prison cesspool of a country, our Monarch Macron is a ftm girly man married to a reverso grandmother. Depraved and degenerate is France today and makes me bemoan the once great French Swiss civ. Marxist empty suits and skirts ruined the West with their depraved decorate policies. We need the Navy Seals to save France and Switzerland from the tyrants and ghoul reverseos bringing FUBAR chaos and yet giving Europeans no self protection.
This is beautiful! I’m no expert at all and I expected this to be another cheeseball video. I was incredibly surprised and I learned a lot! I live by the saying “you win 100% of the gunfights you aren’t in.” And you spoke to this perfectly. I will protect my family at all costs but only my home to an extent. I absolutely do not want to take a human life if I don’t have to and I want to make every effort to avoid doing so. Thank you so much for this.
Excellent advice even though we in Texas can push forward. I like how you explain your movements and weapon handling techniques while clearing each room, and the entire house in general.
I believe that your channel is poised for significant growth. The content you offer is of exceptional quality, providing informative and occasionally humorous material that is genuinely intended to assist the average American. Your dedication to delivering helpful content is commendable.
Like the video where him and his out of shape friends sit and talk about other out of shape men? That kind of content? So amazing🙄 idc if he was a seal 20 years ago he’s a clown at best worried about the state of “men” rather than himself. He literally did a video where him and an ultra skinny and a fat guy sit around a table and talk shit for people having low test. Who the fuck acts like that?
Well done, sir. I appreciate the finer details you go through. Pie-ing the room is the best way to stay safe even if you are trying to leave a dangerous situation and not engage. Practicing in your own house is a great advantage. Bonus for the "oopsie" rounds and the discussion about them.
What I have decided for myself from your exercise - my knife (which is always on me) goes into a couple of tires while I cover my approach and I back away. Thanks for putting this scenario together, it let me visualize what is best tactic for me.
If no family is at home, not going in yourself is definitely the right way to go. And would probably call the cop before going in. Sometimes intruders have a lookout hiding outside so you should at least be aware of that. Not having a wifi recording camera system you can check recorded history on your phone before going in is a shame too. Also correct on the security round, I remember this was discussed extensively in my ccw class (also Texas) you cannot pump one in after the fact. My cop friend told me to absolutely make sure they are dead if they tried to reach for their weapon after they are down though
Yeah good job going in there alone and risking your life ! It wouldn’t be smarter to just park up, call the cops and watch the property from outside where you have clear observation on the criminal escape vehicle and likely escape road route ! Much better to go in and take on an unconfirmed number of criminals who also might have better weapons lol !
I"d be cautious about following your cop friends advice. Since you're not a cop, and you don't have qualified immunity. Absent video evidence, presumption may not favor you if you claim they tried to reach for a weapon when they were down, and even in Texas we have to be aware not only of the law, but what DA we're going to face.
I have 10 years of combat train from my old man and we like your videos, very informational and the movement is damn near flawless at the least, very inspiring! It makes me want to train more.
In some states the thief can come back ,. and sue the owner if shot and lives. some cops have told me security rounds are a must at times? or maybe just shoot to kill?
I'm glad I'm not the only person doing clearing drills in my house. Granted I cannot "push in" legally, but I do live under castle doctrine. But if my family is confirmed inside I become an animal...and animals don't care about laws. Great video and awesome pointers for my next drill
Nicely done, given no one home, I probably called the police would have jerked the keys, tossed them, and backed out and waited for the show from a safe rifle distance. Every one hates the idea of having their home violated, but locking them down for the police then clearing out from danger close could save a lot of drama. Thanks for posting definitely tactically sound.
Me too. No one at home, Im not going in. Sometimes I clear the house just for practice just to make myself think about all the places someone might hide in/around corners in case I ever do need to, but it's a mental/physical exercise more than anything.
What would I do? Call the cops. Even if I know I can clear the home my freedom is important. Protect your family. I am so glad you said Texas law doesn't necessarily stop you from being prosecuted. Too many folks think Castle doctrine, stand your ground etc is a license to kill in some situations. It isn't. Great video. Subscribed
I agree. I’m in Texas and if I ended up in a situation like that. I’m just calling the cops and recording from a far. Now if my family is inside. That’s a different story.
Problem, it takes over thirty minutes for cops to get to my home. I live eight and half miles from the police station. And that was the shortest time. Took an hour for the ambulance...same distance. Why, they argue whose jurisdiction im under. Even though i live in the county. Fire department openly said i was on my own. Good luck even though i have a pond 150 feet from home.
I agree. There are plenty of things that can go wrong, even if you know your shit. I'm not ready to die over a couple of pieces of jewelry. Life of my family is a different story.
I live in New Mexico. Rural Edgewood. I came home to find my front door slightly open. While I have training for clearing a structure, I felt better to have police clear my home. When police arrived, I gave them a clear description of the home and watched as three departments, Edgewood police, SP and SO. Nothing inside. I think as asked to remain in my vehicle, I did so. Very interesting day.
I really appreciate the information you provide within your content. It’s good to know these things to protect my family & I, but it sucks how killing a home invader can land you in jail (which seems ridiculous). Also, this video kinda helps with my approach in Call of Duty, lol. Thank you for your service, take care
nah i tried being tactic like this you can't do tactic stuff like this to the full extent in arcade shooters are most shooters. maybe the exception is the tactical shooters that are out there
@@ray_x6959 Yeah tactics like these dont help you in games with High TTK / Time to kill. Or arcade shooters. Squad? Arma? DayZ? Scum? Totally applicable, ive done it myself. I love how these tactics and information is usable in videogames.

But I love the instructions you give and you don’t make people feel stupid because they are not as well trained as you. God bless you and yours. Thank you mr frogman!
@@rogermorris-zd4dp southpaw sounds much better. Haven’t heard that term for a long time. It’s easier to learn from a southpaw that right handed person.
One hundred percent agree. My old man was a seal. But the advice that you're giving is the same exact thing that he taught me. He passed in 1993 don't know if you serve together.. William m baker . Your advice is good stuff true advice. Along with your other videos you can tell that you're talking from experience.retierd marine myself . And it is exactly the same way that I teach my children.. If you ever come to maine. I would love to do some training stuff with you and my family. Definitely like how you talk. With no ego and in god's light . That is a special thing. God bless you and yours( Sincerely Baker family in maine)
Incredible tactics! Really enjoyed the video and learned some things as well. I really liked how you covered all aspects and didnt just give one option like others do when they tell you "This is what you need to do" In the scenario you showed there were choices to either Fight or Flee because no loved ones were in the house or in immediate danger so it was completely up to the homeowner if they were confident enough in their training to proceed into the fight or to just keep their distance and contact Law Enforcement. Thank you, I look forward to more uploads and training advice in the future.
I had a very similar thing happen when my wife was out of town. I came home and our front door was open. I grabbed my AR pistol and went in and cleared my house. My wife didn’t shut the door completely when she left was how it got open. Now, let me finish the video to see what I did wrong.
I live that you raise awareness on so many key points including simple things to stay aware of as well as potential consequences and knowing when to push forward and when to hold back.
Love your videos, plain and straight. - Greetings from South Africa. We have one of the most violent countries in the world and we as citizens appreciate this advice. I am an old army veteran but as you know we always need to learn and to work on our skills.
thanks for the tips and advice in the video, I try my best to train in my home daily even if it takes me a couple minutes. Always good to know what youre working with
I’m a nobody, but what I have learned that a soldier fights to win. But a civilian is only allowed to fight to survive. Fight to win means winning ensuring a threat is completely gone. As civilians we don’t have the right to remove threats completely. If an intruder runs it’s dangerous to let them go because it creates an opportunity for counter ambush, but you have to let them go. If an intruder goes down it’s dangerous to let them keep breathing because they can potentially still do damage, but you have to let them live because the courts believe their not a threat. It’s amazing to me how much criminals are protected.
We are indeed blessed to have the freedoms we are entitled to exercise here in the great state of Texas. I always enjoy the expertise shared by fellow veterans. Thank you for your service as well as the video.
Love your channel and everything you’ve done for this country! Since I’ve found it I’ve literally binged as much as I can and have actually been implementing alot that I’ve learned into my everyday thinking, planning and training for myself and my family! God bless and thank you for the knowledge transfer! 🙏🏻
Early on in my Navy career on my first ship they blindfolded use and had us go from our bunks to the outside of the ship as training in case of a fire. I never thought I would see that type of drill for anything else, but I was wrong because I had that training again in combat training to learn how to use sound to give you a leg up on locating your targets.
Big ups on your camera man and editor. That whole house clearing scene had some cool elements to it. I'd totally watch an action movie about a navy seal ruining a bunch of wannabe burglar's plans. LOL
Thank you. He is killing it for sure. 🙏 Once we get going I want to launch a series that portrays the truth of tactics. It would require a lot of support from our subscribers as production is not cheap.
Great info on scenario training. Love you stressing the safety, I do the same with my family. Living in Texas I really like that you clarify that even doing something like protecting your home the chance of litigation is real and present.
I like to think that this idea could be thought about before deciding whether to enter a potential situation... "If you would not go to the location unarmed, do not go to it armed" If there is no need for you to be there i.e. someones life is in danger, then you dont have to be there... those lawers will try their best to make you look like the aggressor and will always try to find a way to make it seem like you had a choice to not have to engage whomever you potentially shot.
About a year ago, one of my son’s frat brothers experienced a home invasion. Fortunately, the “kid” had a pistol ready when the creep reached the bedroom and he told the guy, “if you take a step back and keep stepping on out of here, we’ll call it even. If you take a step forward, you’re dead.” The creep took the first option. I’d have lit him up…but there’s no way I’d have cleared my house in this scenario…
@@UtubeH8tr 100%…if I came home to my door kicked in, I’d sit outside and wait on the cops. I’d even take pictures of the bandits looting the place from across the street. Even though it’s my house, the thief/thieves still have a tactical advantage…
@@tonyjones1560 True. No need for unnecessary risks. i'd be pissed but at least well collected enough to be smart about the approach. Im not dying over possessions. But my Family? You're gonna be met with fire and war.
House clearing is no joke, unlike what you see in Hollywierd, where the dopey actors run around waving their pistols in the air, getting in each other's line of fire and and hollering "CLEAR! CLEAR! CLEAR!" every three seconds, after glancing only halfway into the room, not checking closets, hallways, blind spots or other potential hiding areas. At least once, you should do it at 0-DarkThirty in your bare feet and pajamas, with your heart rate tripled, not turning on the house lights. Do that and you'll get a whole different perspective on what it takes to do it right, and as "safely" as you can. (It is NEVER safe!) In truth, clearing a house is at least a two or three man, job and is NOT something you want to do on your own if you have ANY other options. Best scenario-- lock yourself and family in a secure room, call the police, and be ready to defend against any intruder that breaks into that room before the cops arrive.
@@captainnemo6222 I served in a light infantry unit that was trained to carry out “commando” missions in urban areas. I’m glad I didn’t ever have to do that “for real!” We did a “raid” on a house where half the platoon was “killed” trying to take the second floor of a two story building. Afterwards, during the after-action I was like, “We should have just burned the place and shot everyone who ran out!” I was 19, an E-2, and kinda…special, LOL😵💫
Thanks for demonstrating a technique of clearing and structure. Working my OODA loop as you went thru I picture my own home. I did see all 4 doors open in truck meaning there could be 4 intruders. When you stopped first guy and walked to corner by water bottle the widow could have been a spot where intruder went outside and got you. Just things I see that I am preparing my home. Thanks Frogman.
I also noticed all 4 doors open! I would have probably taken keys; if in the vehicle, locked and closed doors with defensive position away from vehicle and called police....
Awesome video, I go through scenarios and drills with my family as well. This is a very good video! Really appreciate what you're doing to provide good information to the community!! Keep up the good work FrogMan!!
@electrictroy2010 Yes, you are right. However, if your family is not inside. That is the correct course of action. But if not, you have to make a decision.
Interesting information and good tactics. However, I have to believe in a real life scenario that when you engage the first burglar they are going to be much louder and the others will be thrown into chaos trying to escape and evade as quickly as possible.
Nice to see short stocking employed. That technique was really popular with Marines forced to clear structures with an A4. The RCO wasn't much use indoors and we didn't have piggybacking RMRs back then, so we just used the hotspot from our Surefire torches. SAS used the hotspot on the Maglites attached to the top of their MP5s during the 1980 Iranian Embassy clearing because the location of the light on top of their SMG made the sights inaccessible. And shortstocking has been taught to SWAT teams in the US since the 1990s, primarily as a way to wield 18 and 20 inch barrel shotguns indoors effectively. Both of these techniques are legit, but I have yet to see them used outside 3rd Bat 5th Marines.
Well presented, very professional. I like how he explains the legality of the situation should you decide to enagage you don’t see many tactical persons saying those things
Thank you for all your videos, Very informative. I have to agree with some of the viewers that since you ensured the safe whereabouts of your family members (not at home) and since you are by yourself (as I learned, two is one and one is none, also applies to personnel not just equipment). In addition, I don't know how many people are inside the house, could be one, but also could be 3 or 4 just like in your video and I don't know the skills that those people have. Not all criminals are dumb and not well trained.. For all those reasons, I would say that logically, it would be safer to call the police and stay back surveilling the situation, gathering info useful for officers attending. After all, all they're taking is materialistic and can be replaced. No one is getting hurt. Maybe as you said, you could disable the vehicle (deflate the tires) and stay back in a safe location while keeping an eye on the house and let the police do their work. However, I totally understand the ego in us and the protective instinct we have, which makes us forge forward and face the danger to protect what we have. I do thank you for the videos and I look forward to the next one.
I mean he did address at one point in the video directly that in most cases because there was no person at risk of harm to call the cops and he was doing this video for example purposes.
We can't do anything we probably get arrested for causing them stress by asking them to leave politely, but this guy driving around like he's in a war zone assault rifle behind the seat 😮. Must be so much paranoia living in America.
Anyway, unless there is no other choice(you and your family are inside the house and someone breaks in, you must save them), trying to clear the house alone is really dangerous. Unless the bad guys are purely Amateur (some of them are, but not all), pushing alone is almost suicide. Don't know how many robbers are inside If they put any overwatch on 2nd floor, you got a whole clip before you even reach the door If there are any intersection with one armed robber on each side, you stand no chance to not getting shot
With no one at home call the cops. Wait with your car, give really good detailed info about the vehicle. Vehicle info, license plates, color, etc.. Frogman with your particular set of skills single person building clearing is something you can do better than damn near anyone else. For the rest of us let the cops do their thing. Like you said, momma bear was away, and your kids were with you.
There is a percentage of the population with equal room-clearing capabilities; other veterans have learned what he has learned. Said percentage, in all honesty, probably out-performs most of their police departments in that regard. The real problem is in the courtroom, where you can never be sure if a jury will be persuaded to do the right thing.
@@KH-rt3ef I learned room clearing when I was a cop, and if no one was home, for legal reasons, I would let the guys on the job come take care of it. Most cops do NOT get the amount of building clearing training as the military does, and your military training likely makes you much better at it. However, if my wife or kids were at home the math changes drastically.
Great video - very insightful as to the do's and don't as well as pointing out possible legal ramifications. Appreciate the replay of the scenario and the details that you provide regarding situational awareness and methods to clear rooms.
This is good shit and invaluable info and legot perspectives of the potentials not just physically but legally as well and somethings I've heard you say that I highly respect is we as men are responsible not only for our family's physical security but also their emotional and spiritual security. GOD BLESS 🙏
For whatever it’s worth I’m a retired Texas police and I would advise most people just call the police and wait. It’s very rare a homeowner will go into their own home even when they see something like this. If the viewer is wealthy enough to be carrying all that cool gear in their vehicle it would be best you stand your ground take cover, hold containment until police arrive. You got eyes on a suspect vehicle backed up in your driveway at your open garage door? this is a great source of information for police dispatch. This is the only guy I have ever seen that has a painted suppressed SBR tactically set up in his vehicle. In my 20 plus years as a cop I have never ever seen anybody approach their own home when something this suspicious is happening as they get home. Think about it If there is an unknown vehicle in the drive way backed up to an open garage door or signs of forced entry. You should immediately call the police. Inform your neighbors. Do not put yourself or your children at risk by saying “ you stay here I’m goin in” Not everyone is carrying a tactically painted suppressed SBR in their vehicles. There’s a big difference between tactical and tacticool. Which unfortunately, this guy is…all this is, is a guy showing off his toys, his rehearsed tactics in an edited video with a bunch of range day intellect. Nothing is ever text book and it never goes according to plan. I guarantee you you’d shit yourself if confronted with something like this in real life. This guy very rarely encouraged the viewer to just call the police. Which I suggest the viewer do if ever in a situation like this. Even though he says it’s not a lesson in tactics….All he did was was teach tactics. It’s called room clearing tactics. I know this guy has good intentions but I disagree with all this. To the viewer, please call the police no matter what….you make a better witness then hero. One last note if you should ever find yourself having to use deadly force in your own home please don’t ever go “oooopsie” there isn’t time for being cute during these kinda situations.
I'm a federal law enforcement agent and it really is crazy how much trouble someone can get into for something that seems so simple and common sense. All the things we've been trained to do (gain tactical advantage, fire superiority, cover fire, dead-checks, etc.) can be a one way ticket to the Big House. Unless there is an absolute necessity, calling law enforcement as a civilian is ALWAYS the better option. On the times where deadly force is necessary, you need to stop if the threat stops. Good rule: EVERY ROUND HAS A LAWYER ATTACHED TO IT. EVERY CRIMINAL IS A VICTIM OF SOCIETY, A GOOD PERSON, A PROVIDER, A SAINT, AND DESERVED BETTER - ACCORDING TO THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY.
Thank you, and massive respect to you for this content you’ve shared with everyone. Though I don’t live in a country where guns are prevalent it’s always good to know these things, again thanks for sharing seen.
I would be too concerned about leaving my family in the vehicle... unless one of them were prepared to drive away if needed. Great info brother! God bless you and yours.🇺🇲👍✌️🇺🇲
Very clear and concise video demonstrating a possible real scenario. There is no such thing as "enough" when it comes to training and FT videos help me to keep my head in the game even when I'm not on the flat range or in a class. Thanks, man!
Maybe I missed it, but he really should mention that room clearing by yourself is one of the most dangerous things you can do. He did mention that if nobody is home don't go in, which I think is really good. The best gunfight is the one you never had.
Law in Texas, is if someone forced entry in home or car, if you feel it will be taken, you're in danger you can use force. Also, an ar 15 in the backseat with kids? Leaving kids alone in the car? Maybe park at a neighbors house if no family member are in your house? The dangling Sling that could get caught? Clearing by yourself self is dangerous if never trained. These youtubers are going to get someone killed. I have some training amd I see alot of errors as a civilian. I was in the military and these videos are making people think theure capable and ready to do things they aren't. You picked out a good point.
@Chris Forestier Doesn't matter. You still don't do that. Maybe they should have gotten in the driver seat then in case of an emergency before gunfire. Or maybe handle it different. Sorry, city life is different than the military. People can do what they want, I know I would have done this differently especially with kids.
@Chris Forestier keep the doors locked, don't get out for any reason. So if there's gun fire don't get out. Lol you go review it. I'm actually done commenting on this youtube fantasy that people live in.
Good video that makes people think👍 Personally, I would be extremely cautious approaching my house, if I already knew my family was safe, and somwhere else. I would think it, because I would be pissed off that intruders are in my house, but my responsibilty is not the house or my stuff. It's the family first. I'm no good to them if I'm dead or in prison.
Whats your thoughts on announcing and verbal commands like what police do when searching a home? I know the likelihood of them giving up is as much as them using it as an alert to hide/ambush, but tactics wise any additional pros/cons as a home defender?
Clearing your home, by yourself, is one thing if you’re home and hear something; but if you’re coming home and find someone in your home, and you know your family isn’t there, clearing yourself, alone, is a big risk. As a LEO we never clear anything by ourself, outside of an active shooter situation where time is key and you go in, with an unknown number of people, or no people inside, clearing is always a 2+ person job. I do like the info being put out there as the basics to clearance and just being practically armed is a good thing and watching a video with info is better than not h I guess any info in your head. Tunnel vision is a big risk; always keep up your situational awareness.
All of the bullshit this guy is spouting goes out the window if the perpetrator has a gun. Or if their are multiple assailants

I'm under no illusions, as a not-former-operator, if my family isn't inside, I ain't clearing it.
That said, I learned a few things, thanks!
I was in the infantry and I ain't going in lol
Nor should you. Many different ways to observe the property and call law enforcement. I have plenty of "gear" and some tactical training but the most I would do is drop my kids off at a neighbor or friend or down the street and block their car with mine and gtfo of there and call police. Should I happen to have a rifle on me at the time (not likely), I guess I would grab it and have it at the ready just in case. But main point is I would not go into the house with an unknown number of adversaries if no ones life is in danger. Blocking there vehicle prevents a quick getaway and prevents them stealing anything larger than what they can carry while running away on foot.
Yep, no family inside stay outside and wait while cops are on their way, family inside of course we will go in.
I had just pulled into my driveway when my camera inside the living room went off. I immediately jumped out of the truck with my carry pistol, popped the door and made entry. Right away I noticed a temperature increase, this was during the summer, so I backed out and went back to my truck. After checking the camera app on my phone I noticed it said temperature notification, my AC had gone out during the day. Relieved, I went back in and my dog was like bro it's hot as hell in here and I realized how quickly I had reacted. Yeah, I could have died if it was an intruder, but I'm not the type of person who relies on others for something I can do myself. Point of the story is the cops aren't required to help you anymore, having a mindset where you don't rely on them is better for what our future holds. Yes, it's just property, but it's my property and I worked damn hard for it, not going to wait minutes for cops to come and then try and arrest me for whatever reason like I've had them do in the past. We rely too much on first responders and waste their time, so I decided over 3 years ago never again unless it's an actual emergency.
At this point survival is most important especially if you have kids, best to not go in if you don’t have to
The fact that you can’t be malicious to someone threatening your life is mind boggling.
I think there’s a valuable rule here, and he touches on it pretty hard: If something is not worth dying for, it’s not worth killing for. The person wouldn’t be threatening your life, if you weren’t actively hunting him. In this scenario, as he said, the best course of action is to call 911 and record what’s happening. If a family member is in the house, it’s a different story…
@@TrustTheLivingWorddon’t hunt them down unless they are a threat
Yep sometimes your better off with an unregistered weapon than a registered one 💡 good luck everyone and best of protection for life. Self defense your American right. God bless !
@@GodsWordNotMines yes many cameras everywhere you are correct but the crooks/intruders could of brought it with them 🤔 just saying…..
As of recent estimates, there are approximately 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States. This number is based on various sources, including surveys, firearms production data, and registration records. However, it's important to note that estimating the exact number of guns in the country can be challenging due to factors such as “UNregistered” firearms and changes in ownership over time.
You need to know a guy who knows a guy that knows a guy and so on 😂….but I think those numbers are much lower than reality. If you’re from the country you know where to go. Godbless ✌🏼

Absolutely correct! No way would I take them on by myself callbthe cops
Those who can, shall.
@@ANEIBojër don’t get me wrong I’m trained and i shall but not everyone is and picking your battles so you win is really all that matters.
In SA there's no such thing, you call the cops and you would wait for 1 or 2 days for them to arrive, by that time robbers would have cleared your home out completely and only leave you with the walls, but then again if you approach the criminals you're also not allowed to shoot them unless they shoot you first, as ridiculous as that seems, it's the unfortunate truth.
In SA you have to be battling for your life before you can defend yourself and the gun laws and justice system is so messed up,corrupt and flawed that you cannot even own a firearm yet criminals are given ARs and all sorts of firearms by the military and the police that they then use against you, and even if you do what they tell you to, they will still kill you, but hey we're not allowed to fight back, the slightest sign of self defense will land you in prison whilst the criminals walk free. You guys in the US should really appreciate the laws you have.
Here if a criminal kills you, guess what? They will be out the very next day with a bailout of $100🙈
Agreed. Take my stuff; I’ll just go get more.
Threaten my family; then we have a problem.

In Taxachusetts, home defense by firearm is so legally tricky. My primary defense are home cams, lots of ext motion lights and 2 quite aggressive dogs. Your approach has me thinking more about my homes blindsides and where to improve where I store multiple firearms for quick access or backup

@@mrjon75Deadly force in Texas is fairly regulated. Just being on someone's property doesn't constitute deadly force, and even forced entry requires that you provide reasonable proof of bodily injury or death to you or any member of the public. Holding someone at gunpoint is not illegal, but neutralizing a threat without a weapon requires a burden of proof.
It also depends on the DA and how aggressively they pursue your case.

Excellent! You presented this scenario perfectly. I respect the way you advised the law and skill set pertaining to what you were presenting. Safety rounds are more prevalent now days due to the availability of body armor. Much respect to you for explaining the legality of Safety rounds and pushing forward into an empty house, it looks cool but the war in the courtroom has different rules of engagement. We are not in TEXAS anymore!
Very informative. Something I've been struggling with in training, mindset, and such. It seems these days calling the "professionals" is only for documentation after the fact. After the damage is done. But in the same token, an individual pushing forward to stop what they can not or will not stop makes you an enemy of the state. Seems the common man looses either way.

The tactics are really good. As a an ex tactic instructor and actual operational chief for prime responders in Geneva/Switzerland, it comes of great help… even though we do have way different legal mindset concerning self and home defense
Totally agree ( I was in the Army before ) but I would never go inside my own house knowing that my family is not there and without intel. I would have flatten the truck tires and call the police and give them the truck information. If you want to protect your house, have a well trained dog, video cameras everywhere and we should never forget that are houses have insurance so we can recover everything but I would never get inside my own house without full intel. The legal consequences is something that I would like to never face so I could end up in prison for the rest of my life. No way ! I think that weapons are to defend ourselves and to use them only as a last resort when my family's life and /or mine, are in indisputable danger. At that point, kill, kill and kill till you are free of any threat. No regrets. Enemies are targets not humans in my mine !
We Europeans need this form of home protection as lawless immigrants are pervasive. As a Frenchman in our open air prison cesspool of a country, our Monarch Macron is a ftm girly man married to a reverso grandmother.

Like the video where him and his out of shape friends sit and talk about other out of shape men? That kind of content? So amazing🙄 idc if he was a seal 20 years ago he’s a clown at best worried about the state of “men” rather than himself. He literally did a video where him and an ultra skinny and a fat guy sit around a table and talk shit for people having low test. Who the fuck acts like that?
Well done, sir. I appreciate the finer details you go through. Pie-ing the room is the best way to stay safe even if you are trying to leave a dangerous situation and not engage. Practicing in your own house is a great advantage. Bonus for the "oopsie" rounds and the discussion about them.
What I have decided for myself from your exercise - my knife (which is always on me) goes into a couple of tires while I cover my approach and I back away. Thanks for putting this scenario together, it let me visualize what is best tactic for me.
This would be my approach as well, with handgun drawn. I'm 69 and don't have the relexes or vision I once had.
Then you find outs it’s your son or daughter’s friend 😂.
If no family is at home, not going in yourself is definitely the right way to go. And would probably call the cop before going in. Sometimes intruders have a lookout hiding outside so you should at least be aware of that. Not having a wifi recording camera system you can check recorded history on your phone before going in is a shame too. Also correct on the security round, I remember this was discussed extensively in my ccw class (also Texas) you cannot pump one in after the fact. My cop friend told me to absolutely make sure they are dead if they tried to reach for their weapon after they are down though
Yeah good job going in there alone and risking your life ! It wouldn’t be smarter to just park up, call the cops and watch the property from outside where you have clear observation on the criminal escape vehicle and likely escape road route ! Much better to go in and take on an unconfirmed number of criminals who also might have better weapons lol !
I"d be cautious about following your cop friends advice. Since you're not a cop, and you don't have qualified immunity. Absent video evidence, presumption may not favor you if you claim they tried to reach for a weapon when they were down, and even in Texas we have to be aware not only of the law, but what DA we're going to face.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, Jason. Stay safe everyone.

Every one hates the idea of having their home violated, but locking them down for the police then clearing out from danger close could save a lot of drama. Thanks for posting definitely tactically sound.
Me too. No one at home, Im not going in. Sometimes I clear the house just for practice just to make myself think about all the places someone might hide in/around corners in case I ever do need to, but it's a mental/physical exercise more than anything.
What would I do? Call the cops. Even if I know I can clear the home my freedom is important. Protect your family. I am so glad you said Texas law doesn't necessarily stop you from being prosecuted. Too many folks think Castle doctrine, stand your ground etc is a license to kill in some situations. It isn't. Great video. Subscribed
I agree. I’m in Texas and if I ended up in a situation like that. I’m just calling the cops and recording from a far. Now if my family is inside. That’s a different story.
Problem, it takes over thirty minutes for cops to get to my home. I live eight and half miles from the police station. And that was the shortest time. Took an hour for the ambulance...same distance. Why, they argue whose jurisdiction im under. Even though i live in the county. Fire department openly said i was on my own. Good luck even though i have a pond 150 feet from home.
Call the cops?? & miss out on all this tactical action?? Are u crazy?? 🤔
I agree. There are plenty of things that can go wrong, even if you know your shit. I'm not ready to die over a couple of pieces of jewelry. Life of my family is a different story.
Yeah you have the freedom to follow laws.
I live in New Mexico. Rural Edgewood. I came home to find my front door slightly open. While I have training for clearing a structure, I felt better to have police clear my home. When police arrived, I gave them a clear description of the home and watched as three departments, Edgewood police, SP and SO. Nothing inside. I think as asked to remain in my vehicle, I did so. Very interesting day.

Incredible tactics! Really enjoyed the video and learned some things as well. I really liked how you covered all aspects and didnt just give one option like others do when they tell you "This is what you need to do" In the scenario you showed there were choices to either Fight or Flee because no loved ones were in the house or in immediate danger so it was completely up to the homeowner if they were confident enough in their training to proceed into the fight or to just keep their distance and contact Law Enforcement. Thank you, I look forward to more uploads and training advice in the future.
I had a very similar thing happen when my wife was out of town. I came home and our front door was open. I grabbed my AR pistol and went in and cleared my house. My wife didn’t shut the door completely when she left was how it got open. Now, let me finish the video to see what I did wrong.

I’m a nobody, but what I have learned that a soldier fights to win. But a civilian is only allowed to fight to survive.
Fight to win means winning ensuring a threat is completely gone.
As civilians we don’t have the right to remove threats completely.
If an intruder runs it’s dangerous to let them go because it creates an opportunity for counter ambush, but you have to let them go.
If an intruder goes down it’s dangerous to let them keep breathing because they can potentially still do damage, but you have to let them live because the courts believe their not a threat.
It’s amazing to me how much criminals are protected.
We are indeed blessed to have the freedoms we are entitled to exercise here in the great state of Texas. I always enjoy the expertise shared by fellow veterans. Thank you for your service as well as the video.

God bless and thank you for the knowledge transfer! 🙏🏻
Great video!
Early on in my Navy career on my first ship they blindfolded use and had us go from our bunks to the outside of the ship as training in case of a fire. I never thought I would see that type of drill for anything else, but I was wrong because I had that training again in combat training to learn how to use sound to give you a leg up on locating your targets.
Big ups on your camera man and editor. That whole house clearing scene had some cool elements to it. I'd totally watch an action movie about a navy seal ruining a bunch of wannabe burglar's plans. LOL
Thank you. He is killing it for sure. 🙏
Once we get going I want to launch a series that portrays the truth of tactics. It would require a lot of support from our subscribers as production is not cheap.
What was holding your rifle on the back of the passenger seat?
Great info on scenario training. Love you stressing the safety, I do the same with my family. Living in Texas I really like that you clarify that even doing something like protecting your home the chance of litigation is real and present.
I like to think that this idea could be thought about before deciding whether to enter a potential situation... "If you would not go to the location unarmed, do not go to it armed" If there is no need for you to be there i.e. someones life is in danger, then you dont have to be there... those lawers will try their best to make you look like the aggressor and will always try to find a way to make it seem like you had a choice to not have to engage whomever you potentially shot.
The cameraman never dies
About a year ago, one of my son’s frat brothers experienced a home invasion. Fortunately, the “kid” had a pistol ready when the creep reached the bedroom and he told the guy, “if you take a step back and keep stepping on out of here, we’ll call it even. If you take a step forward, you’re dead.” The creep took the first option. I’d have lit him up…but there’s no way I’d have cleared my house in this scenario…
It could get you killed, but restraint is still to this day, the greatest strength one can have.
@@UtubeH8tr 100%…if I came home to my door kicked in, I’d sit outside and wait on the cops. I’d even take pictures of the bandits looting the place from across the street. Even though it’s my house, the thief/thieves still have a tactical advantage…
@@tonyjones1560 True.
No need for unnecessary risks.
i'd be pissed but at least well collected enough to be smart about the approach.
Im not dying over possessions.
But my Family?
You're gonna be met with fire and war.
House clearing is no joke, unlike what you see in Hollywierd, where the dopey actors run around waving their pistols in the air, getting in each other's line of fire and and hollering "CLEAR! CLEAR! CLEAR!" every three seconds, after glancing only halfway into the room, not checking closets, hallways, blind spots or other potential hiding areas. At least once, you should do it at 0-DarkThirty in your bare feet and pajamas, with your heart rate tripled, not turning on the house lights. Do that and you'll get a whole different perspective on what it takes to do it right, and as "safely" as you can. (It is NEVER safe!) In truth, clearing a house is at least a two or three man, job and is NOT something you want to do on your own if you have ANY other options. Best scenario-- lock yourself and family in a secure room, call the police, and be ready to defend against any intruder that breaks into that room before the cops arrive.
@@captainnemo6222 I served in a light infantry unit that was trained to carry out “commando” missions in urban areas. I’m glad I didn’t ever have to do that “for real!” We did a “raid” on a house where half the platoon was “killed” trying to take the second floor of a two story building. Afterwards, during the after-action I was like, “We should have just burned the place and shot everyone who ran out!” I was 19, an E-2, and kinda…special, LOL😵💫
I fucking died rolling and laughing my ass off after that double tap. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for demonstrating a technique of clearing and structure. Working my OODA loop as you went thru I picture my own home.
I did see all 4 doors open in truck meaning there could be 4 intruders. When you stopped first guy and walked to corner by water bottle the widow could have been a spot where intruder went outside and got you. Just things I see that I am preparing my home. Thanks Frogman.
I also noticed all 4 doors open! I would have probably taken keys; if in the vehicle, locked and closed doors with defensive position away from vehicle and called police....
Awesome video, I go through scenarios and drills with my family as well. This is a very good video! Really appreciate what you're doing to provide good information to the community!! Keep up the good work FrogMan!!
PROPERTY CAN BE REPLACED. I’d stay outside & call the cops. I pay taxes, so let them handle the situation
.
@electrictroy2010 Yes, you are right. However, if your family is not inside. That is the correct course of action. But if not, you have to make a decision.
Double tap oopsie🤣
Great video, very informative. Thank you👍🏻
😂 Thanks.
Thank you!!
Interesting information and good tactics. However, I have to believe in a real life scenario that when you engage the first burglar they are going to be much louder and the others will be thrown into chaos trying to escape and evade as quickly as possible.
Nice to see short stocking employed. That technique was really popular with Marines forced to clear structures with an A4. The RCO wasn't much use indoors and we didn't have piggybacking RMRs back then, so we just used the hotspot from our Surefire torches. SAS used the hotspot on the Maglites attached to the top of their MP5s during the 1980 Iranian Embassy clearing because the location of the light on top of their SMG made the sights inaccessible. And shortstocking has been taught to SWAT teams in the US since the 1990s, primarily as a way to wield 18 and 20 inch barrel shotguns indoors effectively. Both of these techniques are legit, but I have yet to see them used outside 3rd Bat 5th Marines.
Stop thinking you know anything about guns because you definitely do not
Left hand shooters are a rarity, so any training I can absorb from y'all are a godsend. Subbed
Well presented, very professional. I like how he explains the legality of the situation should you decide to enagage you don’t see many tactical persons saying those things
Thank you for all your videos, Very informative. I have to agree with some of the viewers that since you ensured the safe whereabouts of your family members (not at home) and since you are by yourself (as I learned, two is one and one is none, also applies to personnel not just equipment). In addition, I don't know how many people are inside the house, could be one, but also could be 3 or 4 just like in your video and I don't know the skills that those people have. Not all criminals are dumb and not well trained.. For all those reasons, I would say that logically, it would be safer to call the police and stay back surveilling the situation, gathering info useful for officers attending. After all, all they're taking is materialistic and can be replaced. No one is getting hurt. Maybe as you said, you could disable the vehicle (deflate the tires) and stay back in a safe location while keeping an eye on the house and let the police do their work. However, I totally understand the ego in us and the protective instinct we have, which makes us forge forward and face the danger to protect what we have. I do thank you for the videos and I look forward to the next one.
If we were legally allowed to breech and clear all over the nation to defend property, I am sure theft rates would plummet.
I mean he did address at one point in the video directly that in most cases because there was no person at risk of harm to call the cops and he was doing this video for example purposes.
I suppose accidents do happen-but more likely negligent discharges.
Love these scenarios. I live in UK and we are very limited as to what we are legally allowed to do in such scenarios
We can't do anything we probably get arrested for causing them stress by asking them to leave politely, but this guy driving around like he's in a war zone assault rifle behind the seat 😮. Must be so much paranoia living in America.
@@rexeverything100nah many of us just are ready at all times. Too many crazy people out there. Not paranoid it's just being aware.
Anyway, unless there is no other choice(you and your family are inside the house and someone breaks in, you must save them), trying to clear the house alone is really dangerous.
Unless the bad guys are purely Amateur (some of them are, but not all), pushing alone is almost suicide.
Don't know how many robbers are inside
If they put any overwatch on 2nd floor, you got a whole clip before you even reach the door
If there are any intersection with one armed robber on each side, you stand no chance to not getting shot
You have me laughing with the Oopsie great video, new subscriber
😂
GOD BLESS The Great State of TEXAS❤
With much Love from ALBERTA 🌹
Call the cops, get the plate # and vehicle description. If family is not there then I’m not going in.
100% on that. 🙏
With no one at home call the cops. Wait with your car, give really good detailed info about the vehicle. Vehicle info, license plates, color, etc..
Frogman with your particular set of skills single person building clearing is something you can do better than damn near anyone else. For the rest of us let the cops do their thing.
Like you said, momma bear was away, and your kids were with you.
There is a percentage of the population with equal room-clearing capabilities; other veterans have learned what he has learned. Said percentage, in all honesty, probably out-performs most of their police departments in that regard. The real problem is in the courtroom, where you can never be sure if a jury will be persuaded to do the right thing.
@@KH-rt3ef
Especially these days where DA's and even judges might decide to be lenient or outright drop cases where there should be prosecution
@@KH-rt3ef I learned room clearing when I was a cop, and if no one was home, for legal reasons, I would let the guys on the job come take care of it. Most cops do NOT get the amount of building clearing training as the military does, and your military training likely makes you much better at it.
However, if my wife or kids were at home the math changes drastically.
You are right. The way he acted in this video is begging to be killed.
Self & family preservation is critical. Can’t provide for them if you’re dead. Saving the property/shit is not mission critical.
Great video - very insightful as to the do's and don't as well as pointing out possible legal ramifications. Appreciate the replay of the scenario and the details that you provide regarding situational awareness and methods to clear rooms.
Much appreciated 🙏
This is good shit and invaluable info and legot perspectives of the potentials not just physically but legally as well and somethings I've heard you say that I highly respect is we as men are responsible not only for our family's physical security but also their emotional and spiritual security. GOD BLESS 🙏
For whatever it’s worth I’m a retired Texas police and I would advise most people just call the police and wait. It’s very rare a homeowner will go into their own home even when they see something like this. If the viewer is wealthy enough to be carrying all that cool gear in their vehicle it would be best you stand your ground take cover, hold containment until police arrive. You got eyes on a suspect vehicle backed up in your driveway at your open garage door? this is a great source of information for police dispatch. This is the only guy I have ever seen that has a painted suppressed SBR tactically set up in his vehicle. In my 20 plus years as a cop I have never ever seen anybody approach their own home when something this suspicious is happening as they get home. Think about it If there is an unknown vehicle in the drive way backed up to an open garage door or signs of forced entry. You should immediately call the police. Inform your neighbors. Do not put yourself or your children at risk by saying “ you stay here I’m goin in” Not everyone is carrying a tactically painted suppressed SBR in their vehicles. There’s a big difference between tactical and tacticool. Which unfortunately, this guy is…all this is, is a guy showing off his toys, his rehearsed tactics in an edited video with a bunch of range day intellect. Nothing is ever text book and it never goes according to plan. I guarantee you you’d shit yourself if confronted with something like this in real life. This guy very rarely encouraged the viewer to just call the police. Which I suggest the viewer do if ever in a situation like this. Even though he says it’s not a lesson in tactics….All he did was was teach tactics. It’s called room clearing tactics. I know this guy has good intentions but I disagree with all this. To the viewer, please call the police no matter what….you make a better witness then hero. One last note if you should ever find yourself having to use deadly force in your own home please don’t ever go “oooopsie” there isn’t time for being cute during these kinda situations.
I'm a federal law enforcement agent and it really is crazy how much trouble someone can get into for something that seems so simple and common sense. All the things we've been trained to do (gain tactical advantage, fire superiority, cover fire, dead-checks, etc.) can be a one way ticket to the Big House. Unless there is an absolute necessity, calling law enforcement as a civilian is ALWAYS the better option. On the times where deadly force is necessary, you need to stop if the threat stops.
Good rule: EVERY ROUND HAS A LAWYER ATTACHED TO IT. EVERY CRIMINAL IS A VICTIM OF SOCIETY, A GOOD PERSON, A PROVIDER, A SAINT, AND DESERVED BETTER - ACCORDING TO THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY.
Amen to that. Avoid at all cost is the key but have the skills to do damage if absolutely required. 🙏
Unless you are active military you are a civilian too, the Federal Police State has gotten out of hand.
Thank you, and massive respect to you for this content you’ve shared with everyone. Though I don’t live in a country where guns are prevalent it’s always good to know these things, again thanks for sharing seen.
Every country has guns, legal or not.
I would be too concerned about leaving my family in the vehicle... unless one of them were prepared to drive away if needed.
Great info brother!
God bless you and yours.🇺🇲👍✌️🇺🇲
Armor up grab the rifle and go in why because I have pets and they are my family
Very true. 🙏
Very clear and concise video demonstrating a possible real scenario. There is no such thing as "enough" when it comes to training and FT videos help me to keep my head in the game even when I'm not on the flat range or in a class. Thanks, man!
Maybe I missed it, but he really should mention that room clearing by yourself is one of the most dangerous things you can do. He did mention that if nobody is home don't go in, which I think is really good. The best gunfight is the one you never had.
Law in Texas, is if someone forced entry in home or car, if you feel it will be taken, you're in danger you can use force. Also, an ar 15 in the backseat with kids? Leaving kids alone in the car? Maybe park at a neighbors house if no family member are in your house? The dangling Sling that could get caught? Clearing by yourself self is dangerous if never trained. These youtubers are going to get someone killed. I have some training amd I see alot of errors as a civilian. I was in the military and these videos are making people think theure capable and ready to do things they aren't. You picked out a good point.
@@RuffianoTV He stated that his kids are of driving age.
@Chris Forestier Doesn't matter. You still don't do that. Maybe they should have gotten in the driver seat then in case of an emergency before gunfire. Or maybe handle it different. Sorry, city life is different than the military. People can do what they want, I know I would have done this differently especially with kids.
@@RuffianoTV He discussed that too. Perhaps you can review the video again.
@Chris Forestier keep the doors locked, don't get out for any reason. So if there's gun fire don't get out. Lol you go review it. I'm actually done commenting on this youtube fantasy that people live in.
Don't forget the bulletproof vest always in the car brothers if you can put your hands on one I suggest you to do it 👍
Good video that makes people think👍 Personally, I would be extremely cautious approaching my house, if I already knew my family was safe, and somwhere else. I would think it, because I would be pissed off that intruders are in my house, but my responsibilty is not the house or my stuff. It's the family first. I'm no good to them if I'm dead or in prison.
Whats your thoughts on announcing and verbal commands like what police do when searching a home? I know the likelihood of them giving up is as much as them using it as an alert to hide/ambush, but tactics wise any additional pros/cons as a home defender?
"We dont want any accidents, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT BACK"❤💪 I think if we all practiced this more.. A lot less bad stuff would be happening around us.
Clearing your home, by yourself, is one thing if you’re home and hear something; but if you’re coming home and find someone in your home, and you know your family isn’t there, clearing yourself, alone, is a big risk. As a LEO we never clear anything by ourself, outside of an active shooter situation where time is key and you go in, with an unknown number of people, or no people inside, clearing is always a 2+ person job.
I do like the info being put out there as the basics to clearance and just being practically armed is a good thing and watching a video with info is better than not h I guess any info in your head. Tunnel vision is a big risk; always keep up your situational awareness.
Great video! Excellent information and examples on how to not put yourself in a bad legal situation if you don’t have to.
The angles you took on each corner on the home really opened my mind, appreciate it!
