Thanks for adding this.
Just giving what I consider good professional advise. All those apps are great but they are just that, apps. Your radio will not be channeled to the TAK channel the Officers and other responders are on. You will have the dispatch channel only. There’s a lot more to this than you know. I assure you that.
Thank you for shouting out Refuge Medical, Brother. Blessings on you and your home.
Texas resident.
The cops stayed outside for 40 minutes while the guy was murdering. They tackled a parent trying to do what was neccesary.
Let's read that again slowly.
The cops, who people expect to protect them and their loved ones...ESPECIALLY in gun free school zones,
Stayed outside fully aware and listening to shots being fired at LITTLE KIDS, and refused to do anything to help them,
AND ACTUALLY STOPPED PEOPLE WILLING TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
Those cops WANTED those kids to die. Those cops DESERVE to watch their families due in front of their eyes. They ARE NOT good people.
Good people are NOT bound by rules. ESPECIALLY in a school shooting. Only people expressly COMPLICIT IN THE EVIL ACT would stand outside with body armor and firearms.
They are government officials who only care about the government. The government wanted to kill kids to call for gun control.
You live in a communist police state.
Democrats = communists
Republicans = communists
Independents = communist supporters
Libertarians = communist supporters
It's a tyranny.
No tyranny in the history of the world has ever been voted out or removed using the legal system that put it in charge.
Neither will America.
Your flashlight gave me an idea. Why not have blackouts where you hit the main power to the lights inside the school. It's hard AF to operating in the dark and makes a shooter with a flashlight an easy target.
I was a Columbine student when the shooting happened. I learned that day that expecting others to protect you is suicidal. I do not leave my home without my concealed carry. Period.
it's only p-noia until its not.
Excellent Choice!!!!
Business
@@seanrobert9661 paranoia
Did you zig zag?
The police are more than happy to go hard on average citizens but terrified of dealing with an actual threat.
Officer safety above all else. Any cop who believes in this is unfit for duty.
Blah, blah blah blah blah
Went to protect my step daughter from BF, she lied for him and now I’m in deep sh!t. But glad you’d do the same.
One of the most insane things we have ever had done to us is making the schools “ gun free zones”. That makes schools z, malls, and many other public gathering places a target rich environment for criminals bent on killing.
So true
I'm a Southern California Police Officer and it's mandated that we immediately go in and engage an active shooter. There's No "waiting for back-up allowed." I don't know exactly what happened in Texas, but the fact that it took a Border Patrol SWAT team member to stop the threat tells me that the local police officers failed miserably and should be ashamed of themselves!
Paid off so the MK Ultra mind controlled puppet could do damage.
i've only heard this from a friend but apparently the police there went in, rescued several of their own children of the police force and left the others and were tazering and handcuffing the parents whom were trying to run inside and rescue their own children.
Completely based off rumors so take this information as a grain of salt but holy how if it's true.
@@benschram ; There is video of the cops tackling a father trying to get in to save his daughter . She was one of the ones who won't be coming home . Cops standing around doing nothing until a father can't wait and tries to do it himself then suddenly 6 cops spring into action to stop him. Everything is so upside down and backwards its not even bearable .
Same here in Minnesota, at least from my training, Officer's lives come last in active shooter situations
They should be fired, they always hide behind policy. There is no excuse for allowing children to die. We are losing tons of respect for police.
2 weeks before a $30 million gang task force program was about to lose its funding in my region, the first ever gang shootout within 5 hours of my town happened exactly 300ft away from the front doors of the local police station. The shooting went on for 3 minutes and it took another 8 minutes for the first cop to leave the building.
Over a dozen people just ran in the station screaming in that time, and over forty 911 calls before they responded.
By total coincidence ALL 3 shooters that lived got away, and the gang task force program was renewed with a 5x bigger budget….
Makes you think….
Almost all mass shooting are fishy in a similar way
The government has done it before used and planned tragedies to push their agenda we have historical examples from the battleship in the Spanish American war to the cargo ships in the world wars. The government is not shy about throwing its citizens into the fire to gain something wether it be money or power
That's showbiz
And so you think this shooting was staged, nice.
@@RubbelisPro
You don't agree?
I'm a 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran, and will be 75 years old next month, and I NEVER go anywhere 'unprepared'. I will do anything necessary to protect my family, and anyone innocently threatened by random violence. To hell with the consequences. What's right, IS RIGHT ! I'm behind your philosophy 100%. Thanks Cody !!!
Amen Brother! I’ll go down fighting for my family and yours!
Cops won't let you stop the mission, so you might have to fight your way through cops.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
@@FederalMenace It depends.
Hearing about how the cops down there basically acted like accomplices to the shooter makes my blood boil.
There was one and only one hero in law enforcement, and that was the Border Patrol agent who wasn't even supposed to be there who took that SOB out.
I thought the fix for a bad guy with a gun was good guys with guns????
Now that the security video has come out, there was ONE cop trying to push the classroom the whole time. He was an older guy with a sidearm who took some shrapnel and still tried to push the fight but not a single other cop pushed the hallway with him. He was the only one to try anything until BORTAC got there.
@@xXSPADEGG At least he was trying. They should make him the sheriff, it would be a major improvement.
@@markbond08 which the cops are clearly not
Ironic given how much the media demonizes border patrol
Cody, I'm a Desert Storm veteran, US Navy F/A-18 pilot. One of my biggest fears was being shot down by the Aegis cruiser on my way back to the ship after a mission. Blue on blue is a top tier concern, and therefore I believe the yellow security vest and radio are must have items. Never spend time talking on the radio when actively engaged, but the MOMENT you're safe, get on that radio, communicate. Thank you Cody for speaking truth.
If that becomes the standard then the shooters will go pickup a bright vest from Home Depot and throw it on halfway through their rampage when the help arrives.
We need the equivalent of IFF for active shooting situations
Hey, hope you weren't the guy in the Brian Shul "Speed-Check" story. Thanks for your service.
I sat as a missile system supervisor on Aegis destroyers. If you fly the right path and squawk the right modes and codes, you're good. I understand that sometimes the mission directs you outside that. We know what we signed up for, I commend you for following the mission and I'm glad that blue on blue never came to you. God speed to all combat pilots!
Good point I never thought of blue on blue.. the vest will help you stand out and think twice. But a man/women with a gun shooting will confuse the police who is the shooter and end up shooting you.
We dismantle our social structures (family, church, neighborhood, etc.) piece by piece and are shocked at the results.
I always liked your videos because you believed in doing things yourself when possible and being independent but recently you have shared opinions that I honestly agree with 100% about multiple issues. You are a great man a great American and I am proud to know you are here and a true American patriot willing to help and safe others. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
As a Columbine survivor I love this. It is your job to respond. Everyone of us is a first responder. The people who get paid, those are emergency responders.
Why aren't you a spokesperson against the imbeciles that blame guns, and censor everyone, and feed the bs?
Gutless do NOT respond.
My husband says
Public are first responders
Fire and police are the trained responders.

If anyone is looking into getting a Baofeng radio to listen to their local emergency services, be sure to make sure which type of frequencies they are using. Law enforcement and fire services in my area use digital encrypted frequencies, which the Baofeng is not capable of picking up.
Cody, I agree with you that I would be willing to take ANY RISK to rescue my children, but my biggest concern with entering a school as a civilian is the possibility of being mistaken for the active shooter and accidentally shot and killed by law enforcement - when they finally show up. I listened to an interview with one of the teachers from Texas this morning who said that she refused to open her classroom door until the officer slid his ID under the door to identify himself. As civilians, we don’t have documentation that differentiates us from the shooters, and I also believe there is a prejudice by law enforcement against civilians inserting themselves into emergency situations and “making matters worse” - their definition, not mine. Again, I would do ANYTHING to rescue my child (or any child) up to and including risking my life, but I think there are legitimate risks, possibly even from law enforcement, that should be considered and mitigated before proceeding into an active shooter situation. It’s tragic that we can’t always rely on anyone but ourselves to deal with emergencies, and we should be prepared to act if necessary, but everyone needs to acknowledge and accept the risks of doing so.
Imagine not trying and your child dies. You'll have the rest of your broken life to rehash that. If you want to call that living.
I wonder how many of the casualties were caused by the responding officers returning fire at the shooter.
You should watch the last few minutes of the video
I truly believe that accountability is one of the main weapons we can use against these senseless careless actions that posses our young people to do just horrific things... Simply, make the people that they live and associate with - make them accountable and liable for their demonic actions. Truly I say to you this is our strongest and most potent weapon!!! Either those who know these disturbed individuals will be forced to turn them in or the disturbed individuals may care enough for their loved ones not to put them in JEOPARDY!!!
Thats part of your assessment JT, in Texas it sounded like no one went in. Its always a possibility, but I would rather have the equipment and the mindset and not go that not have it and cannot go...its just that simple.
I absolutely agree, consequences are irrelevant at that point, you do what needs to be done to protect your community, don’t leave it up to anyone else.

Look at what you’re doing Cody. “consequences are irrelevant “. That’s not HOMEOWNER topics. Now you’re arming your subscribers and they’re becoming like Davis here, “Consequences are irrelevant…”
Damn man, stop. Show us how to build a work bench. Leave that stuff to defending your home. I DO NOT WANT YOU, or Davis Lake, or ANYONE from this homeowner community bringing AR rifles to my kids school and start throwing rounds down range.
My and all my PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED cops will already be in the building hunting the bad guy. We don’t need to worry about you and your substandard weapons training BEHIND ME. Damn dude, stop.
So you're basically advising citizens to get into shootouts with police during a school shooting? Because if armed people run up on law enforcement during a situation the police will point firearms.
@@bravoman2011 well if you’ve seen some of the reports it took police longer than an hour to get there, I have a feeling some patriotic citizens with certain freedom toys could get there in 5 minutes and handle the situation.
@@davislake5176 so you are encouraging citizens to take up arm and go against police when the next school shooting happens? You do realize armed citizens telling armed police to get out of the way will only lead to a firefight?
Cops chased the suspect to the school…. Then waited outside for 45 minutes before reacting, and they arrested and detained parents wanting to save their children. Then chastised the parents on why they shouldn’t be there….. every cop that responded should be fired and charged for cowardice
Yup
My biggest concern with inserting myself into an active shooter situation that I’m not directly threatened by would be mistaken as the threat by LEO or other likeminded indivials.
As a father of 3 young daughters I feel the same way. In today's age if you have to commit to protecting your family be prepared to go to prison. Our system is broken and ties the hands of good men
From what I've read and heard, the local LEO's failed miserably. As often the case, cops are all ruff and tuff until it's time to do REAL cop stuff. Had parents been allowed to enter they would have taken MUCH less time to respond. I like your kit. No fuss, no muss just useful items to have in an emergency. Also, people need to remember to carry quality "seeds" as well. No junk el cheapo stuff which is likely to fail when needed. Quality "hand made" or store bought. If you can't read the box you probably don't want to bet your life(or others) on it.
Where I don't completely disagree with you, imagine how many "parents " might have actually shot at each other, rather than the actual shooter.
Any response must be coordinated, and an attempt to establish a command as soon as possible. This would create a command point for the LEO's to step into and allow some, even if mediocre, control over people responding. They can be used to establish a perimeter, at best, and entry, at worst.
The last thing anyone involved would want, is to accidentally be identified as the hostile shooter.
My best recommendation for most parents is to stay at home and leave it to the "professionals."
Or parents start to make organized militias and take turns posted in teams outside schools. Also, wtf are schools unlocked? Also, end porn culture and fatherless culture.
They love to cosplay as operators but in every situation like this they put their safety first and wait outside.
@@kenethsoberano exactly, and hey, I get it. But they really need to take off all that tacitcool gear they use to intimidate random people they pull over and use that money to harden our schools.
3 different local law enforcement agencies were inside the school in 4 minutes.
Cody, I would like to add 2 brands to your list... all the ones you listed will result in a $1800-$3000 "long" dispenser.
Aero precision is very good, but there is a company called 17 designs that makes receivers sets that have the same high quality features as LMT & Aero for a fraction of the price (less than $200 for the set to my door) and Expo Arms has chrome lined barrels/bolt carriers for less than $200. If you get a decent handguard (Wraith, $60) and you get a Sig Romeo 5 red dot for $100 then you're all in for about $700-800, depending on what sling you get. Personally, I picked up a $20 Amazon special that came with a small 2 zipper bag I use as a detachable med pack, I hung 90lbs from the sling using the QD mounts & it didn't pop, so I'm sure it'll hold a 7lb stick.
Aside from that, Thank you for saying the things nobody else wants to, the uncomfortable truths...
I'm not here to argue brands, I said what I said, the advice is solid,
@@wranglerstar Buy nice or cry twice!
@@uwugaloo "a poor man can only afford to buy the very best tool for the best value he can find... for he can't afford to buy it twice"
Sound advice given by my grandfather.
That being said, I simply added to the list for those of us who can't afford to drop roughly $10K on a full kit & training like Cody. For those of us who aren't "professional homeowners" - because we can't afford homes, so we gotta get the very best we can for what we have to work with...
@@RichardCranium321 his everyday carry includes a Rolex lol. Totally get it.
It's the Indian not the arrow. You should get your mindset right. Your getting hung up on pointless things.
I think your ending points on potential repercussions of going in and end up being shot at by law enforcement touches on a good topic. Decentralizing police force and instigating more discussion/planning between local authorities and retired vets, police force, deputies or otherwise. We've learned far too many times that "policy" often gets decided by out of touch individuals, and when said policy gets implemented, we see what happens, and more often than not, it's tragic.
I agree on the twenty's but the ,major benefit of the thirty's is the ability to use the bottom of the mag as rest to shoot from in the prone. This is coming from our time together at Thunder Ranch. Thanks for all you do Cody!
He just said keep it basic ready to go, your not going to be prone miles away sniping away 🤣
What the police did to help the shooter is mind boggling.
? Your nation was conquered, you are subjugated. You see the evidence of that everyday. You think your masters would neglect to ensure that the Police isn't one more subverted agency at THEIR disposal?
If a person didn't know any better, they might say that's exactly what the police were doing. Frankly, I don't know any better.
What did they do?
@@alonsoquesada1136 I guess they stood back and hindered any parent to enter the school while passively waiting for the SWAT team to show up..
I still believe the Monster killed himself.

This video has earned you a sub, my friend. I truly hope that each and every one of those "brave officers" never find a single moment of peace where their conscience isn't troubling them for their inactivity on that day. Department policy and rules be damned, they should have engaged that individual in an attempt to prevent further casualties and to save those that could be saved, but I suppose the lives of the innocent was secondary to their fear of being reprimanded or fired.
I love the idea of using my Beofang for that but the issue is some departments, my local included, use a trunked and encrypted radio system so nobody can listen into the scans anymore. A system to listen into a trunked frequency is pushing 2k plus range and isnt something you carry/can around all the time. now for the "go bag" I agree with everything in that, gives you a great option for any problem you may need to solve.
"you dont have training" Neither did the gentleman who stopped the church shooting in 2019, Jack Wilson. Nor did the gentleman who stopped the Texas church massacre in 2017. He was a neighbor who grabbed his AR-15 from the house and shot the gunman, then rode WITH POLICE and helped provide cover for the police to take the shooter into custody. We as civilians may not receive the same training as people in the profession of arms or police force but we can get enough on our own through TH-cam or in person classes to be competent with our firearms and defend our families and communities.
Most everyday police officers don’t have as much “training” and range time etc etc as you may think they would.
Cody, please unwrap and prep your medical gear. Specifically that tourniquet. Done multiple tours. You do not want to be unwrapping a tourniquet when you need it most. Totally agree with everything else.
All good info, Cody. You prob heard about the Vancouver PD officer who was mistaken for the intruder by Clark County deputies & killed. How does one keep from being mistaken for the bad guy? Ur correct, calls involving children are tough. I was first on scene to several on my way home, had radio & aid kit in my fire vehicle. Only so much you can do til the medics arrive. This would work in rural areas better than urban. As always, I appreciate your proactive approach & suggestions. May God continue to protect our little ones and our loved ones.
Well friendly fire can be mitigated with communication and not blindly shooting, especially if you're not being shot at. Context matters. If you're in a school shooting, you would be a complete fool to just shoot anything that isn't a confirmed legitimate threat.
I’d say shoot and re holster or unload and ditch the rifle. Try to blend in be a silent hero
@@user-qm1gr3eh2e I would think the issue would come in if the cop didn't have a description and saw a guy he didn't know who didn't look like law enforcement running through the school with a rifle. If cop stops that guy and treats him as a threat until determined as a helper, he's losing time he could be using to stop the real threat. I am totally on board with communicating though. Like if I were to take Cody's approach, I'd want a positive relationship with the police dept where they know where I stand and expect me to show up in those situations.
Hey Cody,
Your Texas friend here. My coworkers niece and Nephew were killed in this incident. It’s awful.
The harsh reality is that evil exists and there is no clear answer on how to best prevent these situations. I’ve ‘carried’ my entire adult life and will continue to keep my eyes and ears ‘on’. Lots of prayer.
I appreciate your fathers heart and your insight. Thanks as always.
@garry85aust I control my guns exceptionally well. Also, it’s okay to be wrong about something. I will not be left defenseless and without options to protect my family.
I applaud you. This is the best video you have ever provided. I thank you.
That's the irony with current "laws;" you responding to the situation will get you in more trouble than the attacker/criminal causing the issue. That is always the issue with self defense anymore, do you have a big enough bank account to keep yourself out of jail?
I would gladly go to jail if it meant saving children's lives, we can't let evil win.

@@eagle94haslanded darn I really thought if I just wrote a TH-cam comment suddenly all my hopes and desires would come true
I hear you man, somethings better than nothing. Do what you can
Shame on us as a society. Why should the few protect the masses. We send our most innocent and vulnerable to an unprotected area and hope they will be ok. Honestly it's shocking that this doesn't happen more often. I'm tired of us responsible firearm owners bearing the brunt of the legislation that will come from this. Would a politicians child be in a school where this could happen? Why do they have privilege?
how cute, you think you still have a society.
Let me try to break down your comment and help you understand some things.
"Why should the few protect the masses."
Government wants it that way. They need you to be dependent on them, so they have a reason to exist. Thats why they take away pewpews, and arbitrarily make up rules that you cannot protect yourself without facing their shotcallers in the kangaroo courts. They force you to be helpless by threat of kidnaptime, false imprisonment, and violations of your rights, their oath, their rules, their policies, etc... You need to pay them money for everything, the more money you give them, the more "not guilty" you are.
"We send our most innocent and vulnerable to an unprotected area and hope they will be ok."
The same government that needs you to be dependent on them, are the ones running those pewpewfree public schools. If you are sending your kids to those institutions, you're doing it wrong.
"Honestly it's shocking that this doesn't happen more often."
Actually it does happen more often. LE delete at least 3 ppl per day. You just dont hear about it, because they cant have you thinking they are the bad guys. Propaganda is a powerful thing.
"I'm tired of us responsible firearm owners bearing the brunt of the legislation that will come from this."
Everyone is a responsible (enter whatever here), until they are not. but again, legislation is part of government, they need you to be dependent on them. They will keep making up more rules, until they are in complete control. They use these events to play on your emotions to get you to allow them to take away more of your rights, and give them more power. A lot of ppl say the government makes these types of events happen, and for good reason. Many of the governments "official" narratives just dont add up.
"Would a politicians child be in a school where this could happen?"
Read above.
"Why do they have privilege?"
Congrats, you now know who the real SovCits are.
i thought there were armed safety guards at the school?
The problem with that is that the big cities use a digital scrambled signal. We can’t hear anything on ours near Houston Tx.
This is the essence of what the 2nd is all about. Literally, this is what is legally codified in US code as well as the Constitution
Exactly
I'm very sorry to hear about the lives lost in Texas and the way these kind of horrific events seem to happen every now and then in the USA. I do however take some issue with the solution posited by Cody and a lot of other people.
Imagine a bunch of people like Cody showing up to a scene like the one in Texas. How would any of them distinguish friend from foe? Better yet, how would law enforcement react if they saw a bunch of civilian dudes armed to the teeth walking through the building they were just called to because of an active shooter?
Surely this would not go down the way you would want it to..
Maybe I'm missing something here so perhaps enlighten me if you would.
I agree. America is such a mess. Their solution to solving gun issues is adding more guns? Theres no reason anyone needs an AR
100% Agreed.
Everyone is a f**king John Wayne. 🙄
The cops waited an HOUR while he killed kids. The same happens at almost every mass shooting - the cops wait outside. So you could go in and try or wait and identify the bodies.
Absolutely agree.
Thanks for the video Cody and I truly appreciate your thoughts. You describe this incident in Texas as "terrible" but I think it's worse....no words to describe this horror.
HAM radio operator here. Cody is correct. In an emergency situation you can broadcast without a license. Know your equipment though. Some radios are locked and will allow you to listen to emergency frequencies but not broadcast on them.
Thanks Nolan 👍
The issue I have is the police around me trunk and encrypt their traffic. So it is very hard to hear dispatch like the good old days.
If you can’t afford or find a BCM, Daniel Defense, or LMT, buy a Ruger or a S&W. Then train with the gun. The difference between top tier and “jUsT aS gOoD” is a whole lot closer to what the “just as good” crowd says. Still a tool. Still works for what you’ll need it to do.
Our local PD has encrypted all their radio traffic, no such ability to monitor here.
Scanner Radio app has my local pd unencrypted on a 10 second delay. Look into it, I get police chatter from all zones in my city, for now...
I encourage everyone to look up the witness videos of law enforcement penning down a parent who was trying to go into the school to stop it… the police waited 40 minutes to go into the school and would not let parents in! Let that set in and put two and two together!
I agree with everything said. I live in northern Kentucky where basically no restrictions. My question is how would you differentiate yourself from an active if you’re wearing all that gear. No hate. Honest question.
Except for very rural towns, police channels are going digital and/or encrypted. The $50 Baofang radio won't be able to pick that up.
@@wranglerstar I mean a suburban town is a lost cause to u?
@@wranglerstar oof
@@wranglerstar If everyone moved to a rural town, there wouldn't be any more small towns. Seems a bit arrogant to say that someone who lives in a large city is a lost cause. There are many reasons why someone would live there: family, finances, support, etc. Not everyone is as successful as you have been (which is great, don't get me wrong, I have watched you for a long time and am happy for your success).
Back to the radio thing, even small places are going digital and encrypted. As a radio professional, it's something that I've watched happen and is inevitable. There are many pressures for police, fire, and medical to go to a digital and encrypted system, starting with finances. It takes money to maintain these repeater systems and government grants have restrictions on upgrades, as well as licensing pressures from the FCC and the increasingly crowded spectrum.
Yes,
I wish you and your family the best Wranglerstar.
Them Boufang radios are really good it’s worth buying the eight dollar program port. I used it last year for the wildfire season out here in New Mexico. I’ve been using it for the last month on the big Calf Canyon fire that burned parts of our family ranch. I got a thank you Cody because long ago when you first brought them up I bought five of them and Programmed them to the local vol FD I belong to. Yes I do have my department issued ICOM but I like having back up because it is so small and I can program other USFS crew channels in the field. I like the program port because you have a wider range of custom settings and you save your channel list and can program other radios fast with the same exact format. And it’s not hard at all.
It's heartbreaking that these things happen. I am on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and am geographically distanced I can't imagine how you all feel. I hope you never need to use any of the equipment you described although I understood why you want to have them ready.
How can one ensure not being mistaken as the bad guy and being shot at by the authority?
To be rather blunt, what makes you think they'd shoot even if you actually were?
Of course they would shoot, to a hammer every problem is a nail,
@@wranglerstar what about talking with the PD about this in hopes of building relationships and knowledge of you and your friends as defenders in these scenarios? New cops made aware, community+pd drills. Arm and physically secure the schools, have schools work w/PD similarly.
The time for talking is over, the whole thing needs to be scrapped,
@@danielgoodman3578 the best and only solution would be to call 911 or whoever you can. Tell them your going in, personally I would want a identifying color. Maybe neon security vest. A shooter will shoot you regardless. And have a secondary person find who's in charge and relay that info to them. But it's still risky to be a 3rd party
My heart goes out to all those affected. Great video Cody.
For your ball cap add a bump cap inserts. Personally I hate wearing them but they saved my head daily at work. Just a thought.
Cody 2 things I would add to the kit. 1 a speaker mic for the baofeng radio any 2 pin kenwood style mic will work and the second is a headset-audio-input-cable. You can plug it into your speaker mic and then into the audio jack on your headset and you can hear your radio through your headset. Both plugs use a 3.5mm plug.
Can someone please explain to me how having more unstable people with guns is going to solve the unstable people with guns problem?
It's now Monday June 6th there have been 12 mass shootings in the country since Friday June 3rd. Let that sink in.
For now, unfortunately, the only thing guns lead to in the US is more guns.
Armed parents were thrown to the ground and tazed by police for attempting to go in and rescue their own children.
that is absolutely inexcusable. those police should be charged as accomplices to murder. cowards
Do you have a source for this? Have any of them filed lawsuits yet?
Good video Cody. We should not be dealing with this type of stuff going on in this USA! We need to be ready when and if necessary anywhere unfortunately in this time period. Too bad things have been allowed to get like this. No excuse just be ready and hope we never have to deal with this stuff. You have an excellent setup that we can all use as a fine example to go by. Thanks. Hope the leg is getting better slowly but surely. Prayers for you and your family.
Agreed…heart breaking is an understatement. It’s the perfect storm. Bad policy, lack of training, it’s awful. Individuals with experience (OIF/OEF vets, and others) can impart a ton of experience and training to these police departments that can prevent these events from occurring.
And yes, would not wait/hesitate for 1 second to put an end to the destruction.
Ferro Concepts makes nice plates, and Geissele makes a nice Airsoft. But your setup is top notch.
I think you’re on the right track Cody. I think you’re working from the position of the original militia at the beginning of our country.
I’m duty disabled from LE and a former infantryman, and I can tell you that another thing you and your inner circle need to be considering or doing is small unit tactics. Showing up to the school with all the great gear will help, but there’s a saying “hardware is no replacement for software”. If you and your buddies aren’t used to clearing rooms/buildings and doing so as a unit things are going to get ugly immediately. There’s a reason units (SWAT, military infantry, SOF) train with eachother constantly. Getting to a training and then practicing with your boys should be a priority IMO.
The cops kept busy during that hour arresting the parents like you who wanted to go in themselves. Hearing shots and kids screaming and having cops arrest you while maybe your child was killed would make me insane.
It would make cops the enemy at that point.
Great to see that there were good guys with guns, ready to stop the bad guy....
/sarcasm
Should've arrested or dealt with police if they weren't doing their jobs
They won’t go in to rescue your children but guarantee they’ll force you to wear a mask and lock you down and close your business!
@@davidkay7389 So you show up to a school where kids are getting shot and just start "dealing with" (shooting???) cops? What a stupid thing to say.
That SECURITY vest, may help you to be positively engaged by law enforcement.
Because arriving officer may not personally know everyone who may be responding.
They may positively personally interact with you for information, or assistance. Even to give them confidence, requesting you to hold/maintain a point, so that they can move on to their proactive post in confidence.
You will probably not be asked to join their team. Act appropriately, confident, listen to them, answer questions with viable information.
You will very likely be requested to hold the perimeter with authority.
That information will be radio to other responding law enforcement to keep you safe.
At minimum in your town, join the CERT program. Learn how to respond in an emergency, and what the first responder will expect from you, how you will be available for assistance.
Your name/information will be in the police and fire dispatch computer database. They will have confidence in your call/contact/engagement/information.
I agree with you 100%. Great advice, insight and compassion..
As I live in the UK, fortunately none of this is necessary. My kids are safe in school.........
The cops acted like cowards because they wanna LARP(live action role play) being a warrior but when it came down to them doing their duty they were found wanting. Remember their duty is to protect and serve the public, they obviously weren’t doing either of those when keeping a perimeter around the shooter when THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENGAGING HIM.
Their 'duty' may be to protect but the US Supreme Court precedent still maintains they have no legal obligation to protect the public. It's a shame, but true.
@@Alxmastr Very true. Warren v. District of Columbia and Town of Castle Rock, Colorado v. Gonzales both gave officers total impunity for not protecting citizens. The whole "Protect and Serve" you see on police cruisers is nothing but propaganda.
I think there is a more fundamental problem that your response skips past; what is it about US culture that makes this type of tragedy so common? One a crazy person enters a school with a gun, its already too late. I think the fact that he was able to stroll in unchallenged is the biggest flaw. I'm a teacher, and in my home nation, almost every school has a giant perimeter fence and the building have external doors can only be opened from the inside. But even this is skipping the real causal issue. Why do so many ultimately choose to do this? It truly is a US issue as it happens so much more frequently there. What can be done to change the culture?
I can't agree more. I think the headlines surrounding this issue only ever describe symptoms of the problem, and this mentality is holding us back as a country. There is much discussion to be had about treating the symptom (a "good guy" with a gun) instead of the treating the true cause (creating a stable environment) that will delay progress in the US.
For some reason feds always seem to have some sort of contact with a school shooter before they commit these crimes
The problem with the US isn’t that they have guns, many countries have them and there are not nearly as much issues with them. The real issue is the US people and their way of handling firearms
Crazy people with guns? Yeah, you could solve that even earlier. Universal background checks. Only give guns to people who are trustworthy (that is about 10 % of your population, TOPS). Or even better: Hand out free treatment to mentally ill people. But no. Thats communism. Better arm our teachers and schoolkids. Murica!
The reality is that it is what is in the heart that kills, not what is in the hands...
I agree with you on everything but the olight thing. I have 3. The odin, warrior x, and warrior 3. They are great, robust lights with good batteries, good options, and features. I dropped them a lot. Took them camping. I'm not nice with them and they hold up extremely well. Other than that I completely agree. Also maybe include a helmet. I incorporated the ear pro using mounts. Plus you can put reflective patches on the back for identifying and it works like a high visibility vest
When the advice is exercising individual agency to prepare yourself against crisis regardless of the authorities & society, you imply a lot about how you arrived at this outlook on life & crisis'.
While most people rush to argue gun control & politics in their ignorance, it feels like you have reached the end of the line: "It is now my responsibility to protect me & my family", relying on the police or political change isn't even a thought worth mentioning. It's both responsible and an unfortunate necessity.
The gun control argument is dead, everyone know it,
There are millions of people in this country who honestly believe that guns can be eliminated and if the make them illegal bad people won’t be able to kill.
@@wranglerstar What about other countries whose policies refute that? I think I remember a video where you said you were well trained at wildfire handling, but not structure fires , so training is important. Have you and your friends had any training in this kind of scenario or are you simply a well meaning group of amateurs. You enter a building full of smoke and noise (kinda like a structure fire?), visibility probably low, what now. Maybe: a shot; and a little girl no longer has a daddy. Peace.
@@samipah Other countries don't have +500 million guns owned by civilians. You can't write a law to make them evaporate. They also don't have the freedom we enjoy. I sleep better knowing that if the authorities ever tried here what China is doing to their people right now, we would have a very different result.
@@samipah Realistically most LOE don't have that kind of training, most have basic practice shooting once a quarter. SWAT teams aren't in every town, and they don't assembly in 5 minutes. We had a hostage situation in my town, which is located with in a major metro area in Texas. The local cops showed up, then they called for the town over SWAT, then the major city SWAT, and finally the FBI. The Synagogue was held by the assailant for hours. What ended it, the hostages decided to make a run for it, and the then FBI went in and killed the assailant. Other countries have their way of doing things it doesn't mean its going to happen in the US. Cody is right gun control is dead, there are millions of guns in the US and about a trillion rounds in civilian hands. Even if the government pass some law, ignored the constitution, which they do on a regular bases, they would never be able to control guns. Plus it would probably spark off civil unrest the likes never seen since the revolution.
Being a military vet I do agree with you on a few things but you don’t need all that stuff you don’t need a AR15 or a military grad rifle . Anyone that is good with a deer rifle or a 12ga can do more harm than a person with a 1500 AR .
Virginia tech was a asian with two pistols.
His rig is more compact with a folding stock and shorter barrel versus your typical deer rifle despite the difference in power per round. Plus he has round count to his advantage if need be versus a shotgun.
Hey Cody, I highly recommend replacing your antenna (on your Baofeng) and getting a ~20 buck antenna that would work leagues better- things like ABBREE, Signal Stik, or Nagoya, they all work wonderfully. Cheers.
You sincerety is felt. you frustration with the HAM trolls is supported. why, or how anyone could take away from your overall message and talking points in such a video is inhumane, period. God Bless for doing your part in answering, and preparing others. Being a father and grandfather I can tell you, and all who will listen, when you say "there is nothing that will stop or prevent" getting involved, IMMEDIATELY, is nothing but the realest truth. I too would unleash all HELL on anyone and anything that threatens my bloodline. Shouldn't we all have that same mentality?? God Bless you brother in Christ.
Cody,i love your videos your videos make me believe that there still good Americans how want to help when stuff happens 👍❤️
I shed tears for the parents who will never see their babies again. Just one person being prepared and willing to lay their life on the line for those kids could’ve made all the difference. I know I’d do it. I wish people had their priorities straight.
This is exactly what we need, common sense, organized and dependability. I have subscribed for many years to your channel and this is one of my favorite ones. Not everyone is ex military or Law enforcement but people need to be educated and have common sense with life. these events will be different in outcome with well prepared people that take notice of what goes on in our surroundings. To many people are not taking notice of what goes on around them, stuck in the cell phone on social media, oblivious to real word life. We need to be men and women that can take care of ourselves and others around us. to big a push to make us all sheep to fall in line with the agenda of big government and big business.
I live in Texas and there is many of us that are of like mind as you. keep up the great work!
No one on God’s green earth would stop me from protecting my children and my wife . God bless you Cody for speaking the truth .
Then surely you are homeschooling.
I saw that they pepper sprayed and held down parents trying to get in the school. Not the first time the police stayed outside. That's why I couldn't be a cop.
This must be among the best and most respectful videos about this topic. Thank you for that.
Where I live, things are bit... difficult. Regardless of a ham radio license, we are not allowed to listen in to the mentioned radio traffic.
Also, we don't really have the option to defend ourselves. To get a permit to carry a freedom dispenser feels like impossible for the average guy. On the other hand, there are a lot of dispensers in the hands of people who do not have the aspect of freedom in mind.
And specifically 99.9% of followers of Christ are totally anti dispenser.
Fight for your freedom, as long as possible.
I'm very curious where you live
@@ericfountain4656 Germany 🎉
@@backyardworker it's strange how Christians here feel the exact opposite about freedom dispensers. Especially where I live in the rural south (Arkansas). I don't know a single person who doesn't have at least one. I had no idea Germany had such anti dispenser laws
@@ericfountain4656 it's not just the law. Though, that in itself is strict enough. E.g. monitoring police radio frequency is 2 years jail or a substantial fine.
But it's the whole mindset. If you consider getting a dispenser as an EDC everyone assumes you are a criminal, a kids murderer. And OMG DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN AMERICA EVERY DAY...
Think you can't top that? We have a political party which would support getting out of NATO and get rid of our army, entirely.
And Christians think the Bible is all about peace, love, and happiness. God and Christ might have done some things, but hey, HE is allowed, because HE is God. Don't get me wrong, they are all well meaning people. But we have been conditioned to think this way. And partially I can understand that, due to our nations history. But people ignore for example that the disciples were told to take a sword with them, when Jesus sent them off on a mission. But, you know, that's not applicable for today, anymore...
Problem is, I guess people don't realize that you can fall off on both sides of a horse. 🤷♂️
I suggest POLICE or SHERIFF, or SECURITY patch that goes on the plate carrier. I’ll deal with impersonating issues later, but I’ll be alive
Great video great information!
One thing to reiterate is practice practice practice
Prep your tourniquets!!!!
noticed your secondary is still in the packaging unprepared.
Practice tourniquet drills
Practice dry reloading
Wear your gear and make sure everything is where you can get to it and practice scenarios where you have to get your bag and gear up. Have a friend randomly call you as a drill and see if you really are keeping things ready and close by.
Oh and one more thing clear your pistol before fumbling around and trying to holster it and pointing it at yourself.
God bless!
I’m not interested in arguing the ethics of it but, make sure to keep yourself sane, I understand the anxiety and find myself worried about my little cousin in middle school a decent bit too but monitoring the police radio even if ya turn it off after her day’s over still sounds like a really promising way to keep yourself constantly hanging off the side of a cliff. Keeping your mind healthy is absolutely just as important as keeping your mind ready.
I hear this argument a lot. There can be a fine line between paying attention and paranoia. It's about attitude. You can be vigilant without being afraid.
It breaks my heart to read and hear about the lives lost. You are a good man Cody, you are prepared.
Great video …thanks. Very informative and entertaining , just watched it with my girlfriend, she now is onboard. Thanks for the help. Craig Pa
God rest their souls. The cowards who stuck to “policy” should resign.
Cody, I really appreciate the emphasis you placed on training with your gear. One way is to minimize your chances of being not known to law enforcement is to support them prior to these kind of events happening. Contribute to a fundraiser, drop off a dozen cookies at the police head quarters, say hello when you see them at events. Make yourself known… In regards to the tragedy in Texas… it seems like the biggest impact a civilian could have had is asking the school bored to review its safety policies… from the coverage I have seen he entered in through an unlocked door… you should prepare yourself, but if you prepare others your impact will reach much further. It’s pretty much what you do with videos everyday. Thanks for your content.
I think that citizens who want to do what Cody is advocating should do more. Not only be known, but share with the police your intentions. The risk is they'll simply tell you you're forbidden or react poorly in some other way. The other risk is federal law (GFSZA) and any state laws that merge with it. But if the cops understand you will be a responder and accept it, not only do they know you, but maybe they'll know even better not to shoot you when you're actively helping.
I think it would be interesting to see a video of Cody talking about this with someone from his local PD, perhaps the chief.
God bless the souls who were taken from us to soon. Pure innocence is rare in this world but they were it. I’m with you Cody. May god have mercy on anyone who threatens my family because I won’t.
I understand exactly where you are at with the current state of things in our country Cody and stand in agreement with you. Bless you , your family and don't let the trolls get to you my friend!
This news was playing at my gym yesterday, and almost put me in tears right as I was lifting weights thinking about my 3 kids (one of which is my 5-year old daughter) and the callous evil that would lead someone to do something like this (*a world/school/"scientists" that tells people they're moist robots, grown-up pond scum with no real purpose or hope because everyone's gonna die and that's it*). And I'm right with you; there's nothing I wouldn't do faced with that kind of situation short of causing more harm to innocent people. Thank you for advocating responsible readiness Cody!
The other thing that pisses me off is these kids are killing themselves and no one cares, not glorifying bit here me out on this,
This is an extreme act that only a demonic scumbag would do, obviously, bit I've been thinking...
What about the people lower down the ladder of extreme meaning
For every kid who does this how many are getting hooked on drugs ? How many commit suicxde ? Things of that nature, heck even the video games, not the violence but the isolation that comes with playing them 16 hours a day, I'm a loner I've lived that life again you can't put it all down to that, but it's worth considering
I think we need to take a step back and realise we have a big problem here,
Thank you for sharing. I am a father in San Antonio with two elementary school children. Before these events, I would have said, Yes I have faith in our police to honor their oath. Now I am planning to teach my kids (10 and 5 years old) trauma first aid, how to stay calm, flight, hide and fight. I don't even know how to approach this yet.
But they did "honor their oath"! Their ONLY obligation is to their cartel/banking masters. They badgered, bluffed, and harassed the parents to perfection as per their instructions. They tell you everyday who they are! It says POLICE (policy agents, of the most corrupt, and inhumane cartel to inhabit the planet) right on the doors of all the vehicles they operate, as well as their clothing.
All due respect Cody, not everybody has the disposable income to buy Knights Armament or Daniel Defense. There are plenty of companies that produce tools that can still do the job just fine. In my experience, proper maintenance is far more important & necessary-regardless of brand. Couldn't agree more about Refuge Medical
Do what you do, If you know better I'm glad,
@@wranglerstar Thank you. I do appreciate your info & approach of keeping things simple while covering all the bases. An excellent video
I would like to see something for the more budget strapped guys. Mr W. has a $10k Rolex in his EDC... Especially when it comes to plates.
TREX arms has informative videos about starting to put a kit and a carrier together on a budget. Cody isn’t the only with this type of content. He has a very good message in this video that is being over looked.
I would recommend getting the best you can afford and work with what you’ve got. And for hell sakes, get training. Your mind is the most powerful tool you can use!
Responsive actions would save lives, but adding security for every school would be something I would love my taxes to pay for.
They had a school resource officer and he drove right past the perp. when arriving on scene. Literally everyone failed those kids, from the top down.
@@dudeman5788 Locked doors and metal detectors would have provided at least an alarm.
I have been watching for awhile and I like what you say. You are right about this tragedy. Many men in America think you are wrong and many politicians will blame the legal gun owners who by the 2nd amendment are allowed to own guns. We have a society now that wants government to help them. I live in rural SC and the response time the sheriff will be several minutes. If I take action than it is in seconds and may save someone's life. Like you said one minute or wait for help to arrive. I own firearm and I look over the list to see what I can get. You are preparation is the better option. I am no longer standing by expecting help from the government. I holding my elected officials responsible by voting and giving them my feedback. I do not care what anyone's are thinking or opinion. If I was neighbor you could count in.
"When seconds count cops are always minutes away"
I agree. I will not be standing around waiting. My biggest concerns in any shtf scenario is local police and local militia. Cops will stop you in the short term and a well trained militia, that is not trained in growing their own food, will eventually try to take yours from you. We are a long way from the sheriff deputizing the capable men in town.
In terms of preparedness if you wear glasses I would highly recommend you look into LASIK eye surgery. Easy procedure to have done, quick recovery and you gain a tremendous amount from no longer needing glasses. Some of the best money I have ever spent.
Cody, I know this video's content pained you. Thank you for having the guts to do this to help other everyday Americans.
Our children are our lives. If we can not (especially those who will not) protect our children, we are worthless as men.
I think the content might also pay him.
What light is on the pistol anyone know?
They could simply install/upgrade security checkpoints in schools. How hard is it to take a gun into a courthouse or an airport terminal or even major sporting events? They could easily put checkpoints at the entrance of a school.
Being Hindered by your crutch you would be the last man to the scene And you're preaching safety.
@@robsinclair1001 I have no idea what you're talking about
I still cant wrap my head around this, here in czech republic I would be able to easily walk into my former high school, university etc without any kin of check yet no mass shooting are happening here. Gun laws are tigher but you can get gun if you want which leads me to believe its more of cultural and social thing causing this
@@Taudlitz sure. The thing that many people in different countries don't/can't account for when they say how safe it is there compared to here is that it's an entirely different culture with entirely different factors at play. We didn't have these shootings decades ago, but we had other things such as serial killers which we don't really see anymore. We also have a officials and media with an agenda, so these events always get national coverage which is what these killers want. There was a shooting at a Dallas concert a couple of months ago where 17 people were shot with pistols but you didn't hear about it because it doesn't help the agenda. We have these sick people who don't know how to express themselves and want to gain infamy and cause a great uproar, and they know they will get attention if they shoot up a school with a rifle. They go where they can easily cause great damage with little resistance, so we need to harden those targets with security measures.
@@Taudlitz that's exactly what it is
I really respect you using your platform to share how you prepare yourself for this kind of event. Though I don’t agree with your views, this is exactly the kind of content people shouldn’t feel hesitant to put out in the world. Sharing your opinion helps others form theirs wether that’s in agreement with you or not, thanks again and glad to hear you and yours are safe.
My dad had a friend who fought in Rhodesia in the 1970s. He was a Selous Scout. I was just a kid when he told me this…. Your mind is your primary weapon. Words that have helped save my bacon a few times.
Cody, I disagree with you on a lot of things, and I find myself at odds with you in many ways, however not with this, I'm a Iraq veteran with multiple tours, I lack faith, and want certain things outlawed or banned outright! However until this... I stand with you on everything you said here.
Thank you.
The COPS are there to zip up the body bags and do the paperwork. If your plan is to have them save the day we'll that is just foolish.
I think my PD has switched over to digital radio, so I can't listen with my little analog baofeng. I'm in San Antonio, so this is close to home.
The Supreme Court has ruled that police have no duty to protect. Those cops need to find a new profession, clearly they're not of the proper mindset to protect our children against these losers. Fire them, and get some real cops.
Do what you have to do, I guarantee you this, I could find a workaround,
Castle Rock v. US....Applies to one person getting protection....not valid here
Check and see if it's truly encrypted or if it's DMR Digital mobile radio. Most scanners support DMR.
Thay are little bit more expensive than conventional scanners.
Bofeang radios won't be able to listen in on most emergencies frequencies because there are analog, most departments operate on digital frequencies. Digital frequency requires high end receivers(radios) usually over $800.
Thanks for the vid, very informative and you got me tearing up at the end.
Think you're absolutely right about taking matters into our own hands.
DO NOT go into an active shooter situation without training and a way to identify you as a good guy! You will be shot by law enforcement because they don't know who you are. You will also likely shoot another good guy because you don't know who they are.
Here in Arizona we have volunteer sheriff and rangers. You receive training and a way to identify yourself as a good guy.
Do that. You and everyone else is safer as a result.
Bad advice, Cody.
Don't tell me what to do.
He’s well intentioned but you have a lot of imbeciles here with dreams of becoming some kind of hero. Imagine you’re some child in school and you’ve been hearing non stop gunfire and then some bozo in full larp gear walks in to the room you and many others are hiding in. There’s a lot that can go wrong here. Especially if this became common practice and shooters began to pretend they were there to save them since there would be no way to tell if they were a larper or the shooter. I suppose one day we’ll find out how effective it is to have a bunch of civilians go into active shooting locations. One can only hope they don’t end up accidentally shooting the wrong people.
Cowards buckle to man's rules.
So how do you identify yourself as a good guy?
@@44.caliberbrainsurgery63 Referring to civilians in kit as "larpers" is exactly what Cody means when he say's that we are neutered. If you can't even talk about a civilian with out insinuating that they are incapable owning, using the same equipment that the state uses, then I think you may be worse than the people who openly call to have our arms taken away.
Instead of having the police posted out on the road’s writing tickets and harassing the citizens they should have a police/resource officer posted at all schools. Protect our children at all costs by arming and training the teachers who may chose to do so.
Call your local politicians then...schools often ban armed personnel from the grounds
@@williampearson9772 Yeah and I’m willing to bet that’s exactly why these cowards choose a
“soft target”.
I love my airsoft
