Agree, but there are several self defense insurance policies from a few companies for just this situation. Pay the premiums and you get legal representation if you're involved in a self defense case.
Scott's ability to not "panic fire" shows amazing self-control, and mental preparedness, especially during an altercation with 2 people, and also most likely thinking the one in the back had a gun pressed point blank to him. Awesome story and glad all went well!
He’s lucky because I would of started shooting and wouldn’t think twice. A good lawyer would easily get me off. They were acting as if they were armed it doesn’t matter if they weren’t. If you pretend to pull a gun on a cop you’re getting mag dumped 🤷♂️
When you drew that pistol, that brutha looked like he was gonna crap his pants! If you don't want to get shot, don't commit any crimes! The last thing that law abiding citizens want to do, is draw their firearns on anybody.
Nah actually I wouldn’t mind it. I like shooting bad guys. Been doing it for sometime now. Nobody has tried to rob me or anything. I live in the worst neighborhoods purposely being a slum lord and no luck ☹️

In the vast majority of these situations where a tough guy tries to rob, carjack or do any random violence on a good person, it's amazing how fast they turn tail and run when presented with a firearm by the intended victim.
So what. Obviouly they need to get away to continue their crime spree. The choices are simple... 1. an armed coward lets them run away, or 2. Judges and prosecutors let them run away. In either case the goal is the same... allow criminals to create more victims, and hopefully kill or maim innocent people.
I was in court cells and this guy was going in front of the judge before me. He had robbed a place with a fake gun. His lawyer was talking to him telling him to write a letter of apology to the victims…he had all hopes. When he came back down, his face expression was blank, terrifying. OG asked him :”So wassup young blood?” “They gave me 15 years dawg..” 😳😳
What’s scary is.. if he would’ve had his gun holstered on his side instead of in his door panel like very many ppl do.. he would’ve lost his gun to the bad guy in the back seat
No cab driver is going to have their gun holstered to a location that provides easy access to the passengers, especially when they drive a lot of drunks.
Any concealed carry position in which his firearm would have been on his right side torso would have been disastrous according to the video. The back seat passenger had his hands everywhere from his front pocket area to the small of his back and he mentioned that the "gentleman" grabbed his knife, which I assume was on his right side belt. Had that been his firearm, well, thankfully it wasn't! I'm thinking a leg holster or other left sided concealment area unaccessible to the passengers or visible when the drivers door is opened. The door panel WITHOUT a holster seemed to be optimal in this case as a holster would have required a second hand unless it was somehow fastened to the door panel. So glad this worked out for the driver and I hope the "gentlemen" know how close they came to taking their last breath and everything that being able to breath has to offer them! They should turn themselves in and thank this driver for knowing when to say when!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I am a ride share driver and I carry everyday and am a USCCA member as well. This is some valuable information. This will definitely give me some insights on how to carry while in my vehicle.
“Inviting them into your vehicle…” This clearly shows that laws need to be revised. A victim is a victim. Opening a door (on your house, etc.) or picking someone up in your car does not automatically make the other person an innocent victim. The fact this even needs to be discussed is insulting to common intelligence. A person driving in his/her own vehicle being told they cannot carry a firearm to protect himself should be illegal. Period. Dear Uber, Lyft, DoorDash or any other delivery company out there-if you’re not willing to put your life on the line, do not expect that of your employees. Period.
These incidents where cab drivers, uber, Lyft and even if you give a friend of a friend a ride, there is so much that can go wrong. I am so glad you were or injured. Very lucky they weren't strapped and pulled first. Glad that lived to educate us
@@FabiusMaximus1000 in this situation, lyft will cover the car up to 50k. If the driver is losing his life, lyft is turning the back. Only in injury lyft covers up to 1,5 million in medical’s bill. It is up to the driver if he will fight back, or the best defense in US is to run! Sucks, isn’t it?
I love this story and im so happy his situation turned out for the better,this man is alive and everyone involved. Hopefully those idiots who tried to rob such a wonderful man and father will be caught.Alot of law enforcement officials need to learn from his training and ethics!
Criminals don't often reduce their criminality over time. Hopefully these two left the scene of their practice run with this driver, they go get real guns, and next time the shoot the driver immediately instead of giving the driver time to respond. He trained them well 👏👏👏 I just hope they get a few kills in before they get caught
I think it would be better to carry appendix IWB. That way you can access your gun wherever you are. Can't imagine Lyft is ok with a gun in the door anymore than one on your body. Also maybe a bad idea to have the window down.
Appendix IWB allow a good shot to the perp outside the door, but, for this right handed defender what holster would allow him to draw and shoot someone behind and to the right?
@@0552steve No system covers all contingencies but AIWB is the best IMO. A holster system doesn't aim or fire your pistol, it's function is to get it from concealment to a firing grip. What you can do at that point depends on the scenario you're experiencing.
If I didn’t see the phone once my gun was in my hand I can’t say with certainty that I wouldn’t have lit up the back seat of my car (definitely fighting for your life at that point ) . In the video I first thought it was a knife. The Lawyer in this video was just eye candy, was never needed in this case because he was never charged with anything, and even if he would have shot the guy in the backseat after the state attorney saw the video I don’t think they would have charged (!at least in Florida where I live ) and even if the state did bring a charge what do you think a jury would say after the video .
Depends on how leftward leaning the jury is. Some people will immediately say guilty the second they see the person was carrying a gun regardless of circumstance
His answers to what transpired are online for all time, of course he needs an attorney! People can easily say dumb things like, "I wasn't sure it was a gun or knife, but I pulled mine anyway." Sounds petty, but a DA could interpret something small like that as, "So he pulled his firearm and wasn't even sure there was a threat", charged. You need attornets to help you keep your story straight as well as the mindset and emotions you claimed to have had at that time. Your story could be golden, but your mindset and emotional state could sink you.
@@jamesmorell1758 you don’t have to be sure that what is being pressed into your neck while being yelled at, frisked,and relieved of a knife while someone else is trying to pull you out of a car is a gun or anything else to be sure that there is a threat. By the way as soon as he took his knife he knew without any doubt that he is a threat.
@@mikeryan6277 I'm simply trying to articulate how a dirty DA can spin even the smallest fact against you. A lot of DAs are not reasonable people. That was my point.
I have a question that I haven't seen a video on yet. What if someone sneaks up on you and tries to mug you, or carjacks you, and they begin to Frisk you? The big question is, they will find my concealed weapon if I allow them to proceed, so am I permitted to at least draw my weapon to avoid them taking it and possibly harming me or someone else with it, or do I let them just take it? I have to ask this because of the worry of being charged for drawing my weapon in a situation when I'm not necessarily convinced that my life is at risk. Because if the mugger only has a knife or a lesser weapon, I am not necessarily going to be afraid for my life and not going to pull the trigger on them unless of course they begin to use their weapon on me. What do I do in this situation?
He did everything correct! Regardless of their policy ... his life was at hand from a blink of an eye, a felony was taken place multiple suspects and cornered in his car. Castle law doc does apply in this case. They were invited in until a weapon was put to his back. Then it comes into a felony. He had a CCW and he didn’t take a single shot a the suspects. He stood his ground and handled it safely. I’m glad he didn’t shoot but this is how messed up the justice system is
I wonder if lyft tried to sue aswell cause they have a no weapons policy because they live in a bubble and think nothing like this could happen. I did lyft in the past when first came out I just re register my new vehicle but reasons like this keep me out of the driver seat
The buried lead here is "Lyft policy prohibits weapons" for their drivers to defend themselves. Another corporation putting profits above the value of Human Life.
@@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093 law makers are opportunists like insurance companies, even when you are not in the wrong you are still wrong. here's the bill $$$
@@dmlandscapedesignllcatlant8093 Listen to the attorney in this video. An attorney who specializes in firearm-related self-defense -- and that is NOT a "Plea Bargain Pete" -- is your very best friend.
"once the gentleman behind me popped my seatbelt off" dude called his attacker gentleman. Genuine dude for sure. The best warrior is humble and ready at all times.
If Lyft or Uber wants to have these ridiculous rules, their CEO’s and owners need to be required to work over night in the worst cities areas that offer their service for a full month. Profits over employee safety.
@Lora Wachowska except pretty much 90% of all blue collar jobs, and pretty much all white collar jobs prohibit any weapons of self defense, including knives and OC spray, while working and in their buildings,warehouses, facilities. Even cargo haulers can't have any weapons on them. Lol what career can most people can reasonably get where they can have self defense at the ready always? Public servants lxike police doesn't count and most people can't do that, in more ways than one. Lol ironically enough about your comment, doing stuff like Uber/Lyft/Grubhub as a career is actually better/easier for self defense, including using firearms because while they're prohibited by policy _(mainly firearms, OC spray is ok),_ *if you're discreet then Uber and Lyft won't know you're armed,* and if you're lucky they won't even care. Nobody fro, corporate is going to hunt you down and search YOUR car, worst that happens i they terminate your account but then just switch services or something lol. At a physical job, you get searched and you're immediately terminated, sometimes charged if you're caught with weapons. At my job I can't even bring my phone discreetly onto the work area, let alone a damn weapon lol.
@@-ABC- no they won’t they will just flip a switch if they get a report of a weapon. So all some punk ass has to do to get someone fired is report to Lyft or Uber that you had a weapon in your car. They don’t even have to have had you as a driver. Car type and license plate is all they need. And there is NO OPPORTUNITY FOR DEFENSE.
@@USCCAOfficial Probably because these laws were made before the age where we capture just about everything on video. You see the video, and it's clear he responded correctly. Back in the day, even just 20 years ago, it'd be his word against theirs. Whenever you have a "he said/she said" scenario where the 3rd party didn't actually see what happened, it makes discerning the truth much, much more difficult. So while you have to presume both parties innocent until proven guilty, you also need to consider one of them is probably guilty, so you can't just let them go. You have to detain both, and sort it out through trial/due-process. And now, with deep faked video and audio becoming so convincing, even video/audio is becoming less and less clear-cut evidence.
The attorney is a very smart lady, her comments regarding accidentally giving wrong info because you've just been through a high stress situation is incredibly valuable information.
@@drewt.4353 and that mean they couldn't take the firearm away from him and use it on him had he not been determined to live and wasn't a coward and gave in to 2 attackers ? I can tell you this I'm glad he wasn't waiting on the police to appear and miraculously save him
I’m glad he survived and was smart enough to carry. I always tell drivers it’s better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 any day of the week. And the fact it’s better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it. Not to mention it’s more important to make it home safely then worry about getting deactivated for carrying.
I drove for Uber/Lyft for about a year and always carried. There’s absolutely no reason not to, especially when you’re picking up trash people (which happens with every Uber and Lyft driver).
I carry as well. If I ever have to use it I will deal with Lyft’s no weapons policy then. So far I haven’t had to use it, nobody asks so nobody knows. What didn’t make sense to me is this guy brought up the no weapons policy as a reason to not carry on his person. You still have a gun so he is still violating policy anyways so why not carry on your person? I watch ASP videos all the time and countless times I’ve seen if it isn’t on you then you are at a significant disadvantage. Glad it all worked out and I hope Lyft doesn’t fire him.
@@JayPtown They can't technically fire him because he technically doesn't work for them. That's what's wrong with this ride share nonsense. They call you an "independent contractor" but they have all these rules about what you can and can't do in your own car.
Does that inviting someone into your car applies to the driver’s compartment as well? I mean once the drivers door opened it’s an abnormal ride share. I didn’t invite you to drive my car right. In all this guy covered his asp and glad he lived through to tell his story and teach all the CCW carriers who watch, just a little didn’t disappointed these guy didn’t get the life education they truly need i.e “hot lead” no sympathy for these crimes armed or not.
They will most likely deactivate his account.Block him from using the app,they don’t need to fire you.I drive Uber as well,I used to drive lift and they deactivated my account only reason was bad cellphone service,I accepted the ride,was heading to pick up passenger in JFK airport and lost connection on my way,way a got cellphone service back,the ride was gone and account blocked.Called lyft and they blamed me for canceling the ride.And they permanently blocked my account.They need no reason to block you.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 while they couldn't fire him, they could disable his account for policy violation. he's fortunate this was a successfully non-violent defense, so they are less likely to take that action(bad press when they already have more than they would prefer) but because the level of training is so varied among 2A carriers, and also several incidents where some drivers have not scored as well as Scott on the "did I do everything could to resolve this without drawing my firearm?" measuring stick, the litigation risk rose, and so the policies were changed. I drive for Uber, and before the policies changed, it used to be "Follow your local laws regarding CCW". IMO, rideshare companies need to revert to this previous stance. If they need to keep the lawyers happy, perhaps offer a training course/curriculum as a due diligence requirement to carry according to local laws while driving for them. I would love to see @USCCA involved with them in creating such a process. Not only is more training rarely a bad thing when it comes to 2A, the USCCA has produced some of the finest 2A education I've come across.
Are you telling me if he had shot the guy in the car, the victim would be in trouble? I just took my CCW class and it's mind-boggling how laws seem to actually be in favor of criminals and keeping them alive.
That's the simple fact. They would rather a stolen vehicle than a dead criminal. And this video is very one sided, survived the carjacking? They held him up with a phone

1. Never talk to police. 2. Always have an attorney to represent you. 3, Record everything. 4. If you don't have to shoot to save your life, don't. 5. Train with your weapon until it becomes a part of you. Practice over and over. 6. Know what you are going to do in various situations.
1 yes 2 yes 3 no, don't record everything. That can be used against you. 4 yes 5 yes 6 yes. 7. Never think having a gun on you will save your life. Most of time it's about who pulls on who. 8. Always nice to have a gun and never using than not having it when you need it. Ultimately we need more police, we are plagued by a culture of violence in inner cities.
I don’t get it. The Castle Doctrine does not apply because they were invited to enter his vehicle? So what if I invite a door to door salesman into my home who later decides to rob me at gun point in my living room? I’m no lawyer, but I’m sure I would have every right to defend myself, to include the use of deadly force. If I’m wrong, then someone please explain to me why the Castle Doctrine even exists?
I think the difference being a car and your home. Either way if your life is in danger you should protect yourself and your family/friends but make sure you call a lawyer.
Read Wisconsin Revised Statutes 939.48 very carefully. It incorporates Castle in that if a perp is forcibly entering or has entered a dwelling, auto or business there is no duty to retreat before taking defensive action. Otherwise, there is a duty. It's a dangerous situation to be facing a handgun. If you turn and run you might get a bullet in the back. If there is no way to escape, what do you do? I'm with you that if someone is in my home with a dangerous weapon threatening me I'm defending, if possible. But with laws like this it is the victim who goes to jail. It's Wisconsin -- look what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse.
if someone is in the middle of committing a violent crime, the castle doctrine isn't your only legal justification to use deadly force, the "invited guests" thing was meant to stop people from permanently uninviting guests and getting away with murder because "he was inside the door" as silly as it sounds.
Glad he was able to make it home to his family , I was shocked to hear the company has a no firearms policy in your own vehicle while driving strangers around at random hours...
The new firearm policy is extremely important because it makes it safer for the stockholders and the founders of the company but the safety of the driver is of no concern
That's why I'm done with Uber and Lyft. I love driving but having some strangers behind my back makes me so uncomfortable. You never know what a passenger can do to you? It's not worthy risking your life.
Kinda,well conducted, the cop was trying hard to fight his cop ego, he was visibly irritated by the lawyer stated that you shouldn’t talk to the cops until you talk to an attorney.
I see a guy who didn't get killed by a couple of criminals because the criminals weren't murderers. That's the only reason this guy is alive today! And the only reason his gun isn't on the streets!
One thing not mentioned is best practices for rideshare drivers. Doors should be left locked and passenger window rolled down partially to confirm the passenger identity. You never suggest what their name is. You ask them what their name is and they should be asking the driver what their name is. Uber does NOT have driver safety in mind! If they did, they would require passengers to use their real name, not allow any payment methods that are not traceable, and require a verifiable photo of the passenger.
Haha thought this was going to be an anti gun rant at first, you got me! Shootings are definitely messy and i can imagine the cost of having it done professionally.
🔰 That’s a MOST ridiculous statement. So you should wait to be killed because you’re worried about some creeps blood being in your car❓ You take the appropriate action with the appropriate amount of force as the situation unfolds. You don’t have but milliseconds to think. If you’re worried about your ears and blood, you’re putting your life after logic. You absolutely cannot jeopardize your life thinking about the after effects as the situation is occurring…doing so will clutter your mind with unnecessary thoughts, and you cannot afford to have your mind cluttered in that moment. @Lyfan Deth
Haven’t seen this story anywhere on Google (I wonder why). I did see where a female Lyft driver defended herself with her legal firearm and was fired for Lyft’s no-weapon policy. I see why the executives would want that (in case of a bad shoot) HOWEVER, if the driver got firearm insurance, for example: USCCA, I really don’t see what the problem would be.
I wonder what Uber and lyfts culpability may be for arranging for muggers to get into my car as a driver? Considering they have a no weapons policy, I would imagine they need have a higher level of liability for my safety.
@@Ninja9981000 with Lyft, they prohibit even pepper spray. Uber, on the other hand, doesn’t. When I was driving rideshare, my pistol was ALWAYS within easy reach. No one knew about it, so what they didn’t know wouldn’t get me deactivated as a driver.
@@aprilwycherley Yeah, I also drove for both companies for a bit, and when I did, I always had my glock 19 on my hip and my glock 27 on my ankle. I never knew that they prohibited carry (although I figured they did) as I never really cared either way because it was my car and I'll do what I please. It wasn't a real job for me so if they ever found out and cut me off, I wouldn't really care to much and my safety is FAR and AWAY more important than their policy. Figured the only way they would ever know is if I had to use it anyway. I'm just curious if they have any culpability if they arrange a ride share with a mugger.
@@Ninja9981000 I did it for a while, and it wasn’t really a real job for me, as I’m disabled, and bring in SSDI. I’d really rather work a job again, but with COVID, and my lungs being one of my disabilities, I couldn’t take any chances, so when it came to the US, I stopped driving strangers, and would’ve stopped driving my kids if I could get away with it. They tend to be able to find germs where there aren’t any! I never drove after bars let out. I don’t deal well with drunks, and I don’t want to be around them while I’m trying to work. I’m also in a smaller city, so not as dangerous as some areas, but still not necessarily safe, either. Lyft doesn’t care, because drivers are expendable! The way I read the terms, tho, was how it is here, in Texas, you’re allowed to carry in your vehicle without a license, and the police won’t do anything about it. In fact, I don’t even think they ask when they pull you over if you have any weapons in the vehicle. Idk, because I haven’t been pulled over in a while (knock on wood).
Thats 500k to 3 millions interaction of self defense per year. Criminals see a gun and run away. Good job on scott, im so glad he didnt have to use his weapon.
Sadly I don’t think this situation will even make it into the “guns used in self defense” statistics because he didn’t have to discharge his weapon. We all know his gun saved him but because he didn’t have to fire the weapon I don’t think the fbi or whoever keeps track will count this as a defensive use of a firearm, again even tho it obviously is. That’s why that statistic is so inaccurate because there’s countless situations where the good guy draws a firearm and scares the bad guy away without having to fire it. I’ve carried daily for over a decade the only time I had to draw my weapon the bad guy ran away as soon as he saw my gun I never even called the police because it was just pointless so there’s so many defensive uses of firearms that go un reported
@@Evergreen1400 u are correct. Even when there are police reports, not all depts have a stat for that. And yet more ppl have a story like u than have actually used the firearm. Hence why the range is so big because its an estimate. Colion noir and steven crowder bring this up often and i think the reported number of events is around 600k per year.
I thought of this before he even asked, that I hoped he wouldn’t ask and him not answer. Also, I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but that does not sound like a good place for firearms. Especially in the given situation. There was a guy between him and the gun, luckily it wasn’t used on himself. If I got it right the second guy opened the door and now the gun is further away and someone in between.
Compared to police that shot into a crowd of people because they thought someone had a gun, this guy managed to compose himself enough to think in a calm manner.
As an Army Veteran and long time CC permit holder I salute you Scott. Well done and Congratulations on your continued living of your Life. As for the dirtballs - Karma will find you if nothing else. Look forward to that.
Nope. The karma is letting these practicing felons learn that they need real weapons and they can't hesitate before shooting their next victim(s). The best karma would be that they catch your parents in a public place and put them in the coroners office
Just like the criminals in NY getting out of jail for the 30th time then shooting some poor mom in the head? Or pushing some old lady into a train? If that's karma then yes I believe all criminals in America nowadays will suffer from karma
Nah you should have to explain yourself, If proven innocent though you shouldn't have to pay a cent. Oh well, welcome to America where defending yourself could financially ruin you if not worse.
Wow, this whole video is really good. The interviewer's style fits the purpose of the interview well. Those friendly teaching style challenge questions are really good. Like the discussion on where the gun was, the castle doctrine, and actions after the incident. Having the lawyer there and showing how she's the ultimate go to was a lesson more people need to learn. Even from a marketing view this was great. There was value given first, the lessons learned from the incident. Then the subtle reminder that USCCA is helping in this and providing support. But it shows that USCCA is more concerned with what to learn & do in a situation like this.
Police take the only copy of the camera evidence and then later on they police says "what videos?" I'd have a very hard time trusting any police with the only copy extant. It may get lost. It may get erased.
Wait, someone breeches my "castle" under false pretenses, but since I initiated the invitation castle doctrine no longer applies??? Sounds like some vampire lore...
Yup. She's not much of a lawyer. it doesn't matter how they got in. Once they were in they tried to rob him and he was under the impression they had a gun on him.
@@GryphonBrokewing It's not clear that he "invited" them in. How does he know they were even the guys that requested the ride? They didn't show an ID and they were wearing masks.
Castle doctrine has nothing to do with this case. Absolutely nothing. The facts here, he believed, reasonably, that he was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm, was not able to safely retreat, and as far as he knew, the robbers had the ability, opportunity, and intent to hurt/kill him. This is a very simple case. Especially having dashcam.

@@shawngilbert6344 Kind of the same thoughts I have. Him not having any type of actual training, like he said at the beginning of the video, is why he didn't shoot.

There should be no question why you carry a gun or an accessible knife that can be used to stop the attacker. No ride share company or anybody should tell you that you don't have the right to defend yourself. What's more important than keeping your tenure with lift or Uber is your life because you've chosen to stay armed. I worked in a bank and one of the highest cash handling branches in all of my city and I had my CCW on me all day everyday when technically we were not supposed to be allowed to carry weapons but I still took it upon myself.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves regarding electric door locks. For most vehicles, when you're in the driver's seat, there's no way to unlock only a specific door. I can roll down each window individually because each window has it's own rocker switch on the driver side door, but you can only lock or unlock all the doors at once.
You can unlock all the door and then lock your door :/ its not that hard (litteraly just take an extra second) or you can lock all doors and open one of the passengers door
@@ShadNex Entering and exiting a car is usually done in a transitional space (parking garage, on the street, etc.) If a driver only wants to unlock one of the rear doors they cannot do so from the driver seat without unlocking all the doors.
I drove Lyft and Uber and I hate the no weapons policies as well as the mask mandates. I believe it is MY CAR, MY RULES. If riders didn't like my rules, I had no problem with them getting a different driver. I believe the state of Texas should tell Lyft and Uber that their weapons policies violate Texas law and that they need to ammend them or cease doing business in our state
Simple solution, disobey it! It's just a "policy", and a "feel good" one at that. They literally can't do ANYTHING to actually enforce it... Beyond "deactivating" you if you're discovered to have violated it, which (at least in theory) wouldn't ever happen unless you actually have to use it!
@@garymartin9777 I wouldn't doubt that does play a role too... I'm not sure who is the carrier for lyft but I believe uber drivers/riders are covered via allstate... But at the same time I kind of doubt their vehicle insurance carriers have any part of this 'policy'... again not too sure about lyft but for the longest time uber didn't have such a policy. Their "policy" was literally to "follow state law", meaning if you can legally carry in your state then you were allowed to carry while doing uber... however it was immediately after an incident in Chitcago, an uber driver shot someone (justified), then uber created and publicly announced their "no firearms 'policy' "...
This is a real citizen, he could've killed both guys but he didn't. I respect this gentleman for handling the situation calmly. I'm soo glad he survived this situation safely. Respect
@@serverservidor16that's a big what if.. he made a judgment call not shoot them in da back. I wouldn't have either unless I or anyone with me was hurt by the encounter
Hi Scott I’m glad you were carrying. I’m a CCW carrier myself. Glad you made it home safely and no one was killed. Were you able to retain your Uber/Lyft platform after this incident. This is why I feel if you live in a state that issues a CCW to law abiding citizens and drivers, they should be allowed to carry regardless of Uber/Lyft no weapons policies because you don’t know what kind of passengers you pick up, there background, and there intentions. Glad your alive and that you have USCCA for your lawyers.
@Ryan Gonzales, there is a second part to this video where Scott states that he was suspended while Lyft investigated the incident. He was reinstated after 3 days. HTH. 🙂
Kevin, the content of this video (which was very informative and instructional) could not have been a more perfect advertisement for the USCCA. It succinctly presented the most important messages of our Association to the general public and Second Amendment advocates, new and old. Great stuff!!
If he called them garbage...people would find some way to blame him for the situation. People are wierd today. When he says gentlemen....trust and believe ...that word is a substitute for whats said in his mind. He has great patience....because lord knows in the same situation....the idiot in the car...well..his momma would of been burning one of those cheap ass hood candles to mark his EXIT from this plane of Existence. Hopefully, he would of had the decency to release his bowels outside of my car!!!
I'm curious about something. He thought he had a weapon against his body/neck. Seems like he had a right to use his firearm on the passenger while he was facing him and be justified.
The whole castle doctrine thing didn't apply (as said in the video) however a case could be made that the hypothetical shooting may be justified. (not a lawyer)
@@Razor-gx2dq That would end up requiring thousands of hours legal arguments @$1800 per hour for just 1 lawyer; it would break most every law abiding citizen. Not saying your wrong.
He had the right, Yes but he didn’t see the need due to the aggressor in the car retreating. Just cause you can doesn’t mean you should or feel that you have too shot. Honestly shooting because it’s justified is a poor reason to shot, it leaves you open to vindictive DA’s, civil lawsuits, anti gun groups and obviously the driving service he worked for
@@Razor-gx2dq I wouldn’t be so sure about the Castle doctrine not applying in this case. You have a young inexperienced lawyer there who I don’t believe fully understands the law. Those guys were invited into the vehicle but used deception to get that invitation. They misrepresented who they were and what they wanted. So I believe the Castle doctrine would still be in place. I would hope if I ever contact the US CCA for an attorney I get a better one than he got.
@@longgone9869 The attorney knows exactly what she's talking about. Wisconsin self-defense law requires a perp to have forcibly entered a dwelling, auto or business to remove the duty to retreat. They did not forcibly enter so there is a duty to retreat --- and would be even in his own home. However, at first retreat is blocked. Once outside and the second perp ran off he could have too. Had he shot and injured the first perp it would be his butt in jail.
Exactly, the pay needs to be raised for law enforcement and the filtering process tightened. Higher pay would attract more positively motivated and responsible individuals that could be screened thoroughly and efficiently. It's common knowledge that higher pay attracts better qualified candidates!
Nah loser. They only put the bad ones or ones with little context out there, blow it up, and hope all the little lemmings will follow on the hate train. Don't be ignorant. You should know it's fake news by now

@@OnLyFuN1306 just the black ones
In the vast majority of these situations where a tough guy tries to rob, carjack or do any random violence on a good person, it's amazing how fast they turn tail and run when presented with a firearm by the intended victim.
So what. Obviouly they need to get away to continue their crime spree. The choices are simple... 1. an armed coward lets them run away, or 2. Judges and prosecutors let them run away. In either case the goal is the same... allow criminals to create more victims, and hopefully kill or maim innocent people.
I was in court cells and this guy was going in front of the judge before me. He had robbed a place with a fake gun. His lawyer was talking to him telling him to write a letter of apology to the victims…he had all hopes.
When he came back down, his face expression was blank, terrifying. OG asked him :”So wassup young blood?” “They gave me 15 years dawg..” 😳😳
What’s scary is.. if he would’ve had his gun holstered on his side instead of in his door panel like very many ppl do.. he would’ve lost his gun to the bad guy in the back seat
No cab driver is going to have their gun holstered to a location that provides easy access to the passengers, especially when they drive a lot of drunks.
Any concealed carry position in which his firearm would have been on his right side torso would have been disastrous according to the video. The back seat passenger had his hands everywhere from his front pocket area to the small of his back and he mentioned that the "gentleman" grabbed his knife, which I assume was on his right side belt. Had that been his firearm, well, thankfully it wasn't! I'm thinking a leg holster or other left sided concealment area unaccessible to the passengers or visible when the drivers door is opened. The door panel WITHOUT a holster seemed to be optimal in this case as a holster would have required a second hand unless it was somehow fastened to the door panel. So glad this worked out for the driver and I hope the "gentlemen" know how close they came to taking their last breath and everything that being able to breath has to offer them! They should turn themselves in and thank this driver for knowing when to say when!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this Kevin. I am a ride share driver and I carry everyday and am a USCCA member as well. This is some valuable information. This will definitely give me some insights on how to carry while in my vehicle.
I carry in the same area, started holstering on my person but now thinking of going back to the door
You protect yourself at work? Are you crazy? Lol jk stay safe, stay smart, like the boxing ref says, protect yourself at all times.
“Inviting them into your vehicle…” This clearly shows that laws need to be revised. A victim is a victim. Opening a door (on your house, etc.) or picking someone up in your car does not automatically make the other person an innocent victim. The fact this even needs to be discussed is insulting to common intelligence.
A person driving in his/her own vehicle being told they cannot carry a firearm to protect himself should be illegal. Period.
Dear Uber, Lyft, DoorDash or any other delivery company out there-if you’re not willing to put your life on the line, do not expect that of your employees. Period.
These incidents where cab drivers, uber, Lyft and even if you give a friend of a friend a ride, there is so much that can go wrong. I am so glad you were or injured. Very lucky they weren't strapped and pulled first. Glad that lived to educate us
Oh dont worry, they'll be armed next time. Thank gawd they got to leave so they can kill someone later
Lyft doesn’t allow to carry a handgun in the car. This guy is terminated from ride-share platform. He survived, but no more Lyft income…To bad!
That’s ridiculous knowing how many times this situation happens...
He could have lost his life or at lest his car. Then he wouldn't be able to drive anyway.
Wow he lost his income because he got robbed and is a victim. Shame on lyft. Protect yourselves at all times these companies won’t be at your funeral.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 in this situation, lyft will cover the car up to 50k. If the driver is losing his life, lyft is turning the back. Only in injury lyft covers up to 1,5 million in medical’s bill. It is up to the driver if he will fight back, or the best defense in US is to run! Sucks, isn’t it?

Criminals don't often reduce their criminality over time. Hopefully these two left the scene of their practice run with this driver, they go get real guns, and next time the shoot the driver immediately instead of giving the driver time to respond.
He trained them well 👏👏👏

@@zoobrizz Let’s just all agree that Crime is the New Reggin Entitlement. Stay safe stay armed.
I think it would be better to carry appendix IWB. That way you can access your gun wherever you are. Can't imagine Lyft is ok with a gun in the door anymore than one on your body. Also maybe a bad idea to have the window down.
Appendix IWB allow a good shot to the perp outside the door, but, for this right handed defender what holster would allow him to draw and shoot someone behind and to the right?
@@0552steve No system covers all contingencies but AIWB is the best IMO. A holster system doesn't aim or fire your pistol, it's function is to get it from concealment to a firing grip. What you can do at that point depends on the scenario you're experiencing.
"Commercial cars" should have driver passenger seperators
To help protect drivers in this situation. Thats why i look at Lyft and Uber as SCABS.
Moral of the story never relax you know the rest
If I didn’t see the phone once my gun was in my hand I can’t say with certainty that I wouldn’t have lit up the back seat of my car (definitely fighting for your life at that point ) . In the video I first thought it was a knife. The Lawyer in this video was just eye candy, was never needed in this case because he was never charged with anything, and even if he would have shot the guy in the backseat after the state attorney saw the video I don’t think they would have charged (!at least in Florida where I live ) and even if the state did bring a charge what do you think a jury would say after the video .
Depends on how leftward leaning the jury is. Some people will immediately say guilty the second they see the person was carrying a gun regardless of circumstance
@@StretchReality hopefully your Attorney has weeded out those during jury selection.
His answers to what transpired are online for all time, of course he needs an attorney! People can easily say dumb things like, "I wasn't sure it was a gun or knife, but I pulled mine anyway." Sounds petty, but a DA could interpret something small like that as, "So he pulled his firearm and wasn't even sure there was a threat", charged. You need attornets to help you keep your story straight as well as the mindset and emotions you claimed to have had at that time. Your story could be golden, but your mindset and emotional state could sink you.
@@jamesmorell1758 you don’t have to be sure that what is being pressed into your neck while being yelled at, frisked,and relieved of a knife while someone else is trying to pull you out of a car is a gun or anything else to be sure that there is a threat.
By the way as soon as he took his knife he knew without any doubt that he is a threat.
@@mikeryan6277 I'm simply trying to articulate how a dirty DA can spin even the smallest fact against you. A lot of DAs are not reasonable people. That was my point.
It’s one thing to carjack someone with an iPhone, but a broken iPhone? That’s a whole different story.
This guy would make an amazing officer
Gets suspended for not dying/not giving his car to a black carjacker? Freedom indeed!! :D
When Lyft finds this out he won't drive for them anymore. Part of the reason I left them
imagine being a criminal, robbing a car with a phone, then getting a gun pulled
They tried to hold him up with a phone and then ran away… yeah he survived lmfao.
Two questions I have are did Lyft fire him and would “stand your ground” laws apply?
I have a question that I haven't seen a video on yet. What if someone sneaks up on you and tries to mug you, or carjacks you, and they begin to Frisk you? The big question is, they will find my concealed weapon if I allow them to proceed, so am I permitted to at least draw my weapon to avoid them taking it and possibly harming me or someone else with it, or do I let them just take it?
I have to ask this because of the worry of being charged for drawing my weapon in a situation when I'm not necessarily convinced that my life is at risk. Because if the mugger only has a knife or a lesser weapon, I am not necessarily going to be afraid for my life and not going to pull the trigger on them unless of course they begin to use their weapon on me. What do I do in this situation?
Maybe Castle Doctrine wouldn’t have applied, but straight up self-defense would. He should have hit the off switch on the first dude
He did everything correct! Regardless of their policy ... his life was at hand from a blink of an eye, a felony was taken place multiple suspects and cornered in his car. Castle law doc does apply in this case. They were invited in until a weapon was put to his back. Then it comes into a felony. He had a CCW and he didn’t take a single shot a the suspects. He stood his ground and handled it safely.
I’m glad he didn’t shoot but this is how messed up the justice system is
Did the police give him his fire-arm back after the incident? Or was it kept for investigation?
Love how he’s still kind even though they are lowlifes and calls them gentlemen. What a solid american
The dude stuck his cell phone and dude's back and acted like it was a gun...
Remember that REAL urban taxies also have pricey lexan dividers installed behind the front seat, just for this reason.
I wonder if lyft tried to sue aswell cause they have a no weapons policy because they live in a bubble and think nothing like this could happen. I did lyft in the past when first came out I just re register my new vehicle but reasons like this keep me out of the driver seat
Glad I live in a safe country.
The robber was toting that Istrap 10
What if he shot a bullet but only as a warning shot or just to scare them even more? How would that change the situation?
warning shots are only a thing in movies and games as if done irl it would ricochet and possible hit someone
100% sure the cops would be firing back with everything they had if this had happened to them off duty.
Wait, dude tried to car jack him with a cell phone? That didn’t look like a gun in the car jackers hand lmao pretty sure it was his cell

@Lora Wachowska except pretty much 90% of all blue collar jobs, and pretty much all white collar jobs prohibit any weapons of self defense, including knives and OC spray, while working and in their buildings,warehouses, facilities. Even cargo haulers can't have any weapons on them.
Lol what career can most people can reasonably get where they can have self defense at the ready always? Public servants lxike police doesn't count and most people can't do that, in more ways than one.
Lol ironically enough about your comment, doing stuff like Uber/Lyft/Grubhub as a career is actually better/easier for self defense, including using firearms because while they're prohibited by policy _(mainly firearms, OC spray is ok),_ *if you're discreet then Uber and Lyft won't know you're armed,* and if you're lucky they won't even care.

Back in the day, even just 20 years ago, it'd be his word against theirs. Whenever you have a "he said/she said" scenario where the 3rd party didn't actually see what happened, it makes discerning the truth much, much more difficult. So while you have to presume both parties innocent until proven guilty, you also need to consider one of them is probably guilty, so you can't just let them go. You have to detain both, and sort it out through trial/due-process.
And now, with deep faked video and audio becoming so convincing, even video/audio is becoming less and less clear-cut evidence.

True, in third world countries you need to carry to survive
I drove for Uber/Lyft for about a year and always carried. There’s absolutely no reason not to, especially when you’re picking up trash people (which happens with every Uber and Lyft driver).
I carry as well. If I ever have to use it I will deal with Lyft’s no weapons policy then. So far I haven’t had to use it, nobody asks so nobody knows. What didn’t make sense to me is this guy brought up the no weapons policy as a reason to not carry on his person. You still have a gun so he is still violating policy anyways so why not carry on your person? I watch ASP videos all the time and countless times I’ve seen if it isn’t on you then you are at a significant disadvantage. Glad it all worked out and I hope Lyft doesn’t fire him.
@@JayPtown They can't technically fire him because he technically doesn't work for them. That's what's wrong with this ride share nonsense. They call you an "independent contractor" but they have all these rules about what you can and can't do in your own car.
Does that inviting someone into your car applies to the driver’s compartment as well? I mean once the drivers door opened it’s an abnormal ride share. I didn’t invite you to drive my car right. In all this guy covered his asp and glad he lived through to tell his story and teach all the CCW carriers who watch, just a little didn’t disappointed these guy didn’t get the life education they truly need i.e “hot lead” no sympathy for these crimes armed or not.
They will most likely deactivate his account.Block him from using the app,they don’t need to fire you.I drive Uber as well,I used to drive lift and they deactivated my account only reason was bad cellphone service,I accepted the ride,was heading to pick up passenger in JFK airport and lost connection on my way,way a got cellphone service back,the ride was gone and account blocked.Called lyft and they blamed me for canceling the ride.And they permanently blocked my account.They need no reason to block you.
@@FabiusMaximus1000 while they couldn't fire him, they could disable his account for policy violation. he's fortunate this was a successfully non-violent defense, so they are less likely to take that action(bad press when they already have more than they would prefer) but because the level of training is so varied among 2A carriers, and also several incidents where some drivers have not scored as well as Scott on the "did I do everything could to resolve this without drawing my firearm?" measuring stick, the litigation risk rose, and so the policies were changed. I drive for Uber, and before the policies changed, it used to be "Follow your local laws regarding CCW". IMO, rideshare companies need to revert to this previous stance. If they need to keep the lawyers happy, perhaps offer a training course/curriculum as a due diligence requirement to carry according to local laws while driving for them. I would love to see @USCCA involved with them in creating such a process. Not only is more training rarely a bad thing when it comes to 2A, the USCCA has produced some of the finest 2A education I've come across.
What a top guy. Super calm. Absolutely believable even without the video evidence. He never even fired in a moment of life and death
Are you telling me if he had shot the guy in the car, the victim would be in trouble? I just took my CCW class and it's mind-boggling how laws seem to actually be in favor of criminals and keeping them alive.

2. Always have an attorney to represent you.
3, Record everything.
4. If you don't have to shoot to save your life, don't.
5. Train with your weapon until it becomes a part of you. Practice over and over.
6. Know what you are going to do in various situations.
BRILLIANT!!

I don’t get it. The Castle Doctrine does not apply because they were invited to enter his vehicle? So what if I invite a door to door salesman into my home who later decides to rob me at gun point in my living room? I’m no lawyer, but I’m sure I would have every right to defend myself, to include the use of deadly force. If I’m wrong, then someone please explain to me why the Castle Doctrine even exists?
I think the difference being a car and your home. Either way if your life is in danger you should protect yourself and your family/friends but make sure you call a lawyer.
Read Wisconsin Revised Statutes 939.48 very carefully. It incorporates Castle in that if a perp is forcibly entering or has entered a dwelling, auto or business there is no duty to retreat before taking defensive action. Otherwise, there is a duty. It's a dangerous situation to be facing a handgun. If you turn and run you might get a bullet in the back. If there is no way to escape, what do you do? I'm with you that if someone is in my home with a dangerous weapon threatening me I'm defending, if possible. But with laws like this it is the victim who goes to jail. It's Wisconsin -- look what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse.
@Sjdidjcn Jdir9fj No there isn't "a lot of racism and prejudice in this country".
@@claytonrealist8868 there most certainly is, it just doesn’t flow in the direction that MSM, Hollywierd, and the dems tell you that it does.
if someone is in the middle of committing a violent crime, the castle doctrine isn't your only legal justification to use deadly force, the "invited guests" thing was meant to stop people from permanently uninviting guests and getting away with murder because "he was inside the door" as silly as it sounds.

One thing not mentioned is best practices for rideshare drivers. Doors should be left locked and passenger window rolled down partially to confirm the passenger identity. You never suggest what their name is. You ask them what their name is and they should be asking the driver what their name is.
Uber does NOT have driver safety in mind! If they did, they would require passengers to use their real name, not allow any payment methods that are not traceable, and require a verifiable photo of the passenger.
Never shoot a carjacker in your car.
First, it will hurt your ears.
Second, biohazard car cleanup is expensive, and not covered by your insurance!
But insurance does cover fire!!
Insurance would total you car so your statement isn't entirely true.
Haha thought this was going to be an anti gun rant at first, you got me! Shootings are definitely messy and i can imagine the cost of having it done professionally.
🔰 That’s a MOST ridiculous statement. So you should wait to be killed because you’re worried about some creeps blood being in your car❓
You take the appropriate action with the appropriate amount of force as the situation unfolds. You don’t have but milliseconds to think.
If you’re worried about your ears and blood, you’re putting your life after logic.
You absolutely cannot jeopardize your life thinking about the after effects as the situation is occurring…doing so will clutter your mind with unnecessary thoughts, and you cannot afford to have your mind cluttered in that moment.

Lyft. They suck so bad.
@@caiuspostumiusturrinus1024 they have been great for me.
Well because now days its about being punished for abiding by laws that they just disagree with. It's becoming political law
Haven’t seen this story anywhere on Google (I wonder why). I did see where a female Lyft driver defended herself with her legal firearm and was fired for Lyft’s no-weapon policy. I see why the executives would want that (in case of a bad shoot) HOWEVER, if the driver got firearm insurance, for example: USCCA, I really don’t see what the problem would be.
I wonder what Uber and lyfts culpability may be for arranging for muggers to get into my car as a driver? Considering they have a no weapons policy, I would imagine they need have a higher level of liability for my safety.
@@Ninja9981000 with Lyft, they prohibit even pepper spray. Uber, on the other hand, doesn’t. When I was driving rideshare, my pistol was ALWAYS within easy reach. No one knew about it, so what they didn’t know wouldn’t get me deactivated as a driver.
@@aprilwycherley Yeah, I also drove for both companies for a bit, and when I did, I always had my glock 19 on my hip and my glock 27 on my ankle. I never knew that they prohibited carry (although I figured they did) as I never really cared either way because it was my car and I'll do what I please. It wasn't a real job for me so if they ever found out and cut me off, I wouldn't really care to much and my safety is FAR and AWAY more important than their policy. Figured the only way they would ever know is if I had to use it anyway. I'm just curious if they have any culpability if they arrange a ride share with a mugger.
@@Ninja9981000 I did it for a while, and it wasn’t really a real job for me, as I’m disabled, and bring in SSDI. I’d really rather work a job again, but with COVID, and my lungs being one of my disabilities, I couldn’t take any chances, so when it came to the US, I stopped driving strangers, and would’ve stopped driving my kids if I could get away with it. They tend to be able to find germs where there aren’t any! I never drove after bars let out. I don’t deal well with drunks, and I don’t want to be around them while I’m trying to work. I’m also in a smaller city, so not as dangerous as some areas, but still not necessarily safe, either. Lyft doesn’t care, because drivers are expendable! The way I read the terms, tho, was how it is here, in Texas, you’re allowed to carry in your vehicle without a license, and the police won’t do anything about it. In fact, I don’t even think they ask when they pull you over if you have any weapons in the vehicle. Idk, because I haven’t been pulled over in a while (knock on wood).
Policies are often dictated by terms of the insurance coverage. Liability drives everything in business.
Evil can't be dead enough, no mercy.
Thats 500k to 3 millions interaction of self defense per year. Criminals see a gun and run away. Good job on scott, im so glad he didnt have to use his weapon.
Sadly I don’t think this situation will even make it into the “guns used in self defense” statistics because he didn’t have to discharge his weapon. We all know his gun saved him but because he didn’t have to fire the weapon I don’t think the fbi or whoever keeps track will count this as a defensive use of a firearm, again even tho it obviously is. That’s why that statistic is so inaccurate because there’s countless situations where the good guy draws a firearm and scares the bad guy away without having to fire it. I’ve carried daily for over a decade the only time I had to draw my weapon the bad guy ran away as soon as he saw my gun I never even called the police because it was just pointless so there’s so many defensive uses of firearms that go un reported
@@Evergreen1400 u are correct. Even when there are police reports, not all depts have a stat for that. And yet more ppl have a story like u than have actually used the firearm. Hence why the range is so big because its an estimate. Colion noir and steven crowder bring this up often and i think the reported number of events is around 600k per year.
@@pranc236. I absolutely agree. Steven and Colion are both awesome.
"How and where you carry guns in your vehicle?" I wouldn't answer that.
In the tires
Now everybody knows! They’re gonna get you now
I thought of this before he even asked, that I hoped he wouldn’t ask and him not answer. Also, I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but that does not sound like a good place for firearms. Especially in the given situation. There was a guy between him and the gun, luckily it wasn’t used on himself. If I got it right the second guy opened the door and now the gun is further away and someone in between.
Never off body. Perp had better access to his gun than he did when the door was opened by the perp.
Me neither! No ones business where you carry
This attorney is damn sharp.
Compared to police that shot into a crowd of people because they thought someone had a gun, this guy managed to compose himself enough to think in a calm manner.
As an Army Veteran and long time CC permit holder I salute you Scott. Well done and Congratulations on your continued living of your Life.
As for the dirtballs - Karma will find you if nothing else. Look forward to that.
Nope. The karma is letting these practicing felons learn that they need real weapons and they can't hesitate before shooting their next victim(s).
The best karma would be that they catch your parents in a public place and put them in the coroners office
Karma? That's only for tools that don't believe in God.
Living to die another day. Pointless victory
Just like the criminals in NY getting out of jail for the 30th time then shooting some poor mom in the head? Or pushing some old lady into a train? If that's karma then yes I believe all criminals in America nowadays will suffer from karma
The justice system is so screwed up. I have to explain and defend myself when someone tries to rob and kill me in my house, car, work etc.
Nah you should have to explain yourself, If proven innocent though you shouldn't have to pay a cent. Oh well, welcome to America where defending yourself could financially ruin you if not worse.
Wow, this whole video is really good. The interviewer's style fits the purpose of the interview well. Those friendly teaching style challenge questions are really good. Like the discussion on where the gun was, the castle doctrine, and actions after the incident.
Having the lawyer there and showing how she's the ultimate go to was a lesson more people need to learn.
Even from a marketing view this was great. There was value given first, the lessons learned from the incident. Then the subtle reminder that USCCA is helping in this and providing support. But it shows that USCCA is more concerned with what to learn & do in a situation like this.
Police take the only copy of the camera evidence and then later on they police says "what videos?"
I'd have a very hard time trusting any police with the only copy extant. It may get lost. It may get erased.
Happens all too often.
Yes
I believe there are dashcams that record to a cloud now, but of course that probably comes with its own liabilities
Wait, someone breeches my "castle" under false pretenses, but since I initiated the invitation castle doctrine no longer applies??? Sounds like some vampire lore...
Yup. She's not much of a lawyer. it doesn't matter how they got in. Once they were in they tried to rob him and he was under the impression they had a gun on him.
@@GryphonBrokewing It's not clear that he "invited" them in. How does he know they were even the guys that requested the ride? They didn't show an ID and they were wearing masks.
Castle doctrine has nothing to do with this case. Absolutely nothing. The facts here, he believed, reasonably, that he was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm, was not able to safely retreat, and as far as he knew, the robbers had the ability, opportunity, and intent to hurt/kill him. This is a very simple case. Especially having dashcam.

With the thought of he is armed in my mind, ( back seat criminal) I'd have smoked him. My conscience would been clean.
If the guy in back of had a weapon and was willing to use it ole boy is 6ft under right now. I do not agree with people praising his actions. They would have gotten him killed in a different situation. Should have left the gun were it was and let them have his stuff or turned to shoot the guy.

At the moment lethal force is decided as the best option you go full and hard until the threat stops moving. He has now unlawfully brandished a firearm.
@@shawngilbert6344 Kind of the same thoughts I have. Him not having any type of actual training, like he said at the beginning of the video, is why he didn't shoot. In my opinion he got extremely lucky that the situation was the way it was, and they were a couple of cowards. Otherwise his chances of being a chalk outline would've been a lot higher.
Not even interested in an interview like this but it was so well done I stayed for the whole thing. Nicely done 👍🏽
There should be no question why you carry a gun or an accessible knife that can be used to stop the attacker. No ride share company or anybody should tell you that you don't have the right to defend yourself. What's more important than keeping your tenure with lift or Uber is your life because you've chosen to stay armed. I worked in a bank and one of the highest cash handling branches in all of my city and I had my CCW on me all day everyday when technically we were not supposed to be allowed to carry weapons but I still took it upon myself.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves regarding electric door locks. For most vehicles, when you're in the driver's seat, there's no way to unlock only a specific door. I can roll down each window individually because each window has it's own rocker switch on the driver side door, but you can only lock or unlock all the doors at once.
You can unlock all the door and then lock your door :/ its not that hard (litteraly just take an extra second) or you can lock all doors and open one of the passengers door
@@ShadNex Entering and exiting a car is usually done in a transitional space (parking garage, on the street, etc.) If a driver only wants to unlock one of the rear doors they cannot do so from the driver seat without unlocking all the doors.
I unlock the doors and immediately lock my driver door instantly
Manual locks win again!
I drove Lyft and Uber and I hate the no weapons policies as well as the mask mandates. I believe it is MY CAR, MY RULES. If riders didn't like my rules, I had no problem with them getting a different driver.
I believe the state of Texas should tell Lyft and Uber that their weapons policies violate Texas law and that they need to ammend them or cease doing business in our state
It's all about liability. I wouldn't be surprised if the rule is forced by Lyft's insuance carrier.
@@garymartin9777 need to find out who their insurance carrier is and publicize it
Simple solution, disobey it! It's just a "policy", and a "feel good" one at that. They literally can't do ANYTHING to actually enforce it...
Beyond "deactivating" you if you're discovered to have violated it, which (at least in theory) wouldn't ever happen unless you actually have to use it!
@@garymartin9777 I wouldn't doubt that does play a role too... I'm not sure who is the carrier for lyft but I believe uber drivers/riders are covered via allstate...
But at the same time I kind of doubt their vehicle insurance carriers have any part of this 'policy'... again not too sure about lyft but for the longest time uber didn't have such a policy. Their "policy" was literally to "follow state law", meaning if you can legally carry in your state then you were allowed to carry while doing uber... however it was immediately after an incident in Chitcago, an uber driver shot someone (justified), then uber created and publicly announced their "no firearms 'policy' "...
What they dont know wont hurt them
Congrats to the driver! Glad he got out of that situation alive and well!!!
This is a real citizen, he could've killed both guys but he didn't. I respect this gentleman for handling the situation calmly. I'm soo glad he survived this situation safely. Respect

@@serverservidor16that's a big what if.. he made a judgment call not shoot them in da back. I wouldn't have either unless I or anyone with me was hurt by the encounter
Carrying a firearm is carrying a hammer, and you should never have to nor want to pound in a nail
He should have killed them. If I see someone brandishing a weapon in any threatening manner they're eating lead, who knows what they might do.
@showbizonastick Facts! They could have lit his ass up tbh
Hi Scott I’m glad you were carrying. I’m a CCW carrier myself. Glad you made it home safely and no one was killed. Were you able to retain your Uber/Lyft platform after this incident. This is why I feel if you live in a state that issues a CCW to law abiding citizens and drivers, they should be allowed to carry regardless of Uber/Lyft no weapons policies because you don’t know what kind of passengers you pick up, there background, and there intentions. Glad your alive and that you have USCCA for your lawyers.
@Ryan Gonzales, there is a second part to this video where Scott states that he was suspended while Lyft investigated the incident. He was reinstated after 3 days. HTH. 🙂
Kevin, the content of this video (which was very informative and instructional) could not have been a more perfect advertisement for the USCCA. It succinctly presented the most important messages of our Association to the general public and Second Amendment advocates, new and old. Great stuff!!

I'm curious about something. He thought he had a weapon against his body/neck. Seems like he had a right to use his firearm on the passenger while he was facing him and be justified.
The whole castle doctrine thing didn't apply (as said in the video) however a case could be made that the hypothetical shooting may be justified. (not a lawyer)
@@Razor-gx2dq That would end up requiring thousands of hours legal arguments @$1800 per hour for just 1 lawyer; it would break most every law abiding citizen. Not saying your wrong.
He had the right, Yes but he didn’t see the need due to the aggressor in the car retreating. Just cause you can doesn’t mean you should or feel that you have too shot. Honestly shooting because it’s justified is a poor reason to shot, it leaves you open to vindictive DA’s, civil lawsuits, anti gun groups and obviously the driving service he worked for
@@Razor-gx2dq I wouldn’t be so sure about the Castle doctrine not applying in this case. You have a young inexperienced lawyer there who I don’t believe fully understands the law. Those guys were invited into the vehicle but used deception to get that invitation. They misrepresented who they were and what they wanted. So I believe the Castle doctrine would still be in place.
I would hope if I ever contact the US CCA for an attorney I get a better one than he got.
@@longgone9869 The attorney knows exactly what she's talking about. Wisconsin self-defense law requires a perp to have forcibly entered a dwelling, auto or business to remove the duty to retreat. They did not forcibly enter so there is a duty to retreat --- and would be even in his own home. However, at first retreat is blocked. Once outside and the second perp ran off he could have too. Had he shot and injured the first perp it would be his butt in jail.
It's a shame this guy has better self control than half the police these days.
Exactly, the pay needs to be raised for law enforcement and the filtering process tightened. Higher pay would attract more positively motivated and responsible individuals that could be screened thoroughly and efficiently. It's common knowledge that higher pay attracts better qualified candidates!
