Hello
Hey Brandon Herrera, if you are seeing this I would like to thank you for being one of the few people with brain cells.
👍
22-yr-old going 8/10 with a pistol from 120' away in a heated situation whose only training was "my grandpa taught me how to shoot"? Dude is a CHAMP. And then I heard his girlfriend, who is a nurse, immediately afterwards ran out to aid the folks who were wounded. MAN what a cool story. God bless these people
Proudest Grandpa in America right now.
This grandpa could start a marksmanship channel and make millions.
And all in under 15 seconds while filled with adrenaline.
That’s a very skilled marksman.
I like how modest he is.
not to rain on his parade, but he shot a few rounds at 40 yards and then closed distance, the rounds that stopped the guy were fired from around 20ish yards
Brandon I so wanna point out in Indiana it wasn't "ILLEGAL" to bring a firearm into a private business. Their " gun free zone" signs have no legal standings. At best you get asked to leave and hit with a trespassing warning. Many lawyers here including the guy covering Eli's legal case free of charge has also stated this. Indiana also has a law protecting justified shooters from civil law suits. It's called the "Good Samaritan Act" ironically.
Even if it was illegal, do it anyway
I believe the Good Samaritan Act is federal, but do correct me if I am wrong.
@@EzekiesAcheron if it was federal, i'm pretty sure our boy Kyle wouldn't have had to go through that hell of a trial.
I was thinking this. That’s how it is here in FL
@@EzekiesAcheron of it isn't federal it should be
this kid has so much guts. No way could I hit those 40 yard with all that adrenaline. Super stoked for him and the lives he saved!
I might have hit 2 out of 10 aint no way I would have hit 8 out of 10..... I need to get my a** to the range
40 yards 10 shots 15 seconds 8 hits. An absolute Chad.
Gotta get mo training. Though I don't remember 40yd range practice being high on most pistol shoots
Considering I've put about 200 rounds of target ammo through my edc and have a pretty crap accuracy at 20 yards, absolutely.
Don't plan to bang unless you plan to hit somethang.
“Moms demand action” my boy Eli sure did jump into action
Yeah, say what you want but at the end of the I’m pretty sure everyone who made it out of there would be jumping on the “Eli is a hero” bandwagon.
@@jayewrite1256 (its a joke about intercourse)
@@LeOwwAndRose So is the police department...
"We demand action!"
"NO! Not like that!"
I still think "Moms Demand Action" sounds more like a category on an adult web page than a political group.
Brandon has a good point, just because you are a female with functioning reproductive organs doesn't mean you are some sort of infallible moral authority.
It just means you let a man nut in you and your internal bits work.
Hell of a shot. We need more well trained individuals like him.
Funny story is he only ever just did shooting with his granpappy.
IIRC he said he never really had any formal training.
Edit thanks folks
Absolutely
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez even more impressive. I'd bet he's one of those guys who gets calm in high stress situations. Hope he's doing ok now.
amen
He never got any training soooo
The police chief released a statement saying it was a total elapsed time of 15 seconds. God tier reaction. Give this man a medal 🏅
It was 15 seconds after the monster starting shooting people that Eli started his shooting at the monster which took about 2 minutes.
@@Asidebar still way faster than the police.
@@getthegoonswhat are you trying to point out of course it’s faster than the police the cops can’t be everywhere at once
Eli broke no law. It was a mall policy, not a city ordanance. If the mall had asked him to leave and he refused then he would be guilty of trespassing.
A sign does not make something a law, I believe you are correct sir
It’s a similar thing as a dress code at a club or bar. It’s not against the law but it’s just the establishment’s policy
Again, don’t text this number it’s a scam
Most people don’t realize how strict the rules for the actual signage itself is anyway. My state for example if the sign shows anything other than just a gun such as a gun with a knife, it’s invalid. The line through the circle has to be a certain size, & only one side among many other things is legal. Those types of signs are typically state issued too, or at least there’s a main location with the state code. This is all important to know should your ever find yourself in a situation like this as it may make the difference. If you’re not sure go elsewhere. Start comparing the look of them at state buildings, & such with just a run of the mill store. Every state, & possibly cities/counties are probably different so know YOUR laws, but make sure they’ve got the right signs too. We have strict laws for no trespassing signs on private property. Generally on private property you have to be asked to leave, & refuse before there will be too much hassle if there’s a complaint if you’re carrying openly, or someone happens to get a glimpse. Know the laws the best you can from your local all the way up to the federal level.
That’s kind of the point of having a concealed carry
This is a Prime example of the saying "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
I'm quite fond of "better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war".
Lol in his case ignoring the SOFT TARGET signs while open carry
I appreciate the line from sir Cartier more that goes “I’d rather get caught with it, than without it” 🧐
22-yr-old CIVILIAN fires on RIFLE-wielding indiscriminate-shooter from 40yds/120ft away with a pistol, and gets enough hits in 10rds to kill.
Police need to be trained to this standard, but the same people who say police aren't trained well enough are the same people that want to #defundThePolice
We need to #fundThePolice far more than they're currently funded.
If we did, we'd have many more police who are trained as crisis intervention counselors/EMTs & even psychologists.
We'd also have many more police who are experts in martial arts that will have to use their guns far less.
In the circumstances they do, they'd be confident enough to charge in on the threat (unlike Uvalde) and be able to stop the threat much more quickly with minimal collateral damage.
Defund the police is a pipe dream, pure rhetoric, and leads to negative results.
Properly funding the police leads to officers who are highly trained in multiple fields, including being able to take the place of EMTs & crisis counselors in emergencies.
Even when you call 911 for emergency services such as medical & fire, police are often first‐on-scene.
It's happened to us (My Mom, Dad, and I) 3 times out of the 4 medical 911 calls we've had to make in the past 30 years. Might even be 4 out of 5.
@jonslg240 Agreed. More funding equals better training, but there also needs to be designated training like medical professionals for police every year instead of buying armored vehicles and such.
Also, more funding to police means fewer tickets and more warnings. Less quota systems because the funding will be there.
Brandon refusing to use the name of the shooter tells me everything I need to know. Guy gets it, you’ve earned my support.
I agree 100%.

What is it? I didn't get it.
@@ebadurrahman7848 people that commit mass shootings don't need the recognition that calling them by their names gives them.
@@mattpalmer8918then how would we know the back story? why the hell he started shooting people?
This was probably one of the clearest cut examples of a good guy with a gun we've seen in a while. Props to Eli, and he needs a ton of support and prayers right now.
When did that attempt church shooting in texas happen, id say that was the last one i remember, i lost over 4months of my life so i might be wrong on if it was the last one or not
There was that lady who clapped a guy doing similar stuff about a month ago also.
@@WayStedYou Big surprise, I haven't heard about the lady, but I HAVE heard about the Boomer with The Big Iron. No shock to me that the MSM wouldn't put out the story "BREAKING NEWS: GOOD GUY WITH A GUN STOPS BAD GUY WITH A GUN." It doesn't push a narrative that all guns are evil.
@@WayStedYou and don't forget how many crimes are prevented by even the sight of a gun. A lot of tomes it never has to be fired
True, but also a rare instance. There was also a good guy with a gun in Buffalo but he got gunned down because the shooter was wearing body armor. Which New York stupidly banned later.
I love how he even chose a gun free zone because it just shows exactly what gun free zones do. They create a populated unarmed crowd that is perfect for someone to take advantage of. Luckily we have people like Eli who dont follow those little signs because if he had many would’ve died.
In my state, Indiana, those no firearms allowed signs are literally just suggestions. Like, they literally hold no legal authority. If you're on private property the owner/active manager can request you leave for any reason at any time. Thats generally how that works in all states, but in Indiana, those signs are more of a statement: "we don't really want you to have a gun here." But you're not breaking any laws, I also ignore them. It's even legal to carry in banks here as well, which I used to do at my last job and still do in my personally used branch because they know me and won't freak out if they saw it. In Indiana the only time you're breaking the law is gov't protected buildings like courthouses, schools, post offices, city hall, and the separate building where people go to pay utility fees but I don't know what we refer to ours as since I live outside city limits and most places do that AT city hall. As a bonus fact about Indiana, it generally sucks, but its attitude towards firearms is why I won't move out of state. I haven't personally attended a small business where SOMEONE wasn't packing. The local vape store employees don't but the owners do at both. Hardware store literally is also a gun store in my town and the next town north. Hell even that one old fashioned barber that used to have a place in town carries. I mean, a barber. Im 25, graduated in 15/16, there were still rifles in the trucks at the school during deer season, and even year round you could occasionally find them from some students going coyote hunting before class.
Love this place, now if only we could legalize weed so my LEO's could stop having to enforce that(which they usually don't anyway) would be an awesome state.
Btw the national concealed carry law makes what he did perfectly legal
@@jamesbowling9293 Well, at least be glad they are so lenient with weed. Down here in backwards land Australia we're still living in the past, anything will land you in court.
@@jamesbowling9293 i live in oklahoma and thats how it is here and weed is legal medically. It’s pretty nice. I’m pretty sure at most you can be trespassed for carrying in a gun free zone unless its something like a school or government building, but in a mall most people just conceal and nobody bats an eye. Granted we have laws that allow teachers to carry if the school board allows it and most government buildings have armed security so they are still protected.
@@matthewroman8329 i’m pretty sure when those signs are on private businesses the most they can do is trespass you anyway. Now public buildings like schools and government facilities are different but at least in my state even they are fairly well protected.
Being 22 and have 90 % accuracy with a handgun at that distance is pretty impressive - people shouldnt hate on that guy
8 out of 10 is 80%.
I'm not being facetious or pedantic, either; I'm just...
Wait, Ilias? Huh... been a minute since I thought about MGQ.
Do yk how percentage works?
Pluh
@@RazorStormInc at 40 yards (120 feet.)
@@RazorStormInceh 90%/80% same thing
It actually wasn’t “illegal” to carry in the mall there. It was against a rule made by the property owners. Rules aren’t laws. The only thing they can do is ask you to leave, and if you don’t, then you are trespassing. But Eli wasn’t doing anything illegal by concealed carrying his Glock, he was just breaking a dumbass rule. And by doing so, he saved countless lives. 💯
That was one thing I learned taking a gun course in MS, as a new gun owner, having grown up in Cook County, IL (HOME OF CHICAGO, I lived in its ultra-white and upper middle class southwest neighborhood), so still a gun newb as it were. SO what they teach you in MS, WORDING matters and the sign you put in your door has to have EXACT wording, if one of it is off, then their wishes for a gun-free store are nullified. MAN, less than a month into living in MS, I remember getting my oil changed at Walmart since they do the whole kit for $65 (filters too), waiting in the waiting room, and a guy just had a gun strapped to his hip, and just blew me away, and I was like; OH RIGHT, not in Illinois anymore.
The 2nd amendment is more important than a shitty rule made to feel people safe
This is exactly what I came to say. Laws > rules. Especially dumbass laws like gun free zones, glad Indiana made CC legal without a permit.
That's how it is here in AZ. The only private establishments that are legally enforceable gun free zones are places that sell liquor for consumption in the establishment and have to follow VERY specific rules on how to post it. And if they don't follow those rules their "gun free zone" is null and void explicitly by the letter of the law. Most places of these places don't actually follow the law so there aren't really any legal gun free zones here.
@TDATA yeah, I’ve lived all over the country being a military brat and I just moved to Colorado a year ago from St.Louis MO and I love it. A while ago I saw an old lady with a walker that had a .357 on her hip, and you can’t go to Walmart without seeing at least 5 or 6 people open carrying
Honestly I just think this is the textbook definition of “poetic justice.” If there is such a thing, I’ve never seen a better example. Besides that point, a young man all of 22 years old, seemingly no professional training, just what he taught himself and practiced of his own accord. The man hit 80% of his shots at 40 yards under stress, meanwhile we’re now being shown the Uvalde video where a literal battalion worth of police officers with every piece of gear one could want wouldn’t make entry.
His grandfather taught him how to shoot.
“Professional training”
Like the FBI agents who always seem to have mass shooters on their “radars” before the tragedy happens or like the Uvalde PD?
@@FuckTheState Yep pretty much exactly like them.

Spot on, I'm sure his parents and the people of Indiana are proud of this fine young man and his girlfriend and his grandpa deserves a lot of credit for turning his grandson into one hell of a marksman.
Small correction: it's technically NOT illegal to carry in the mall (or any Simon property). It's just a "private property posted rule"
So, all they can do is ask you to leave the property. If you refuse, then they can get police involved and charge you with "trespassing" but otherwise, oh well. Keep carrying. If it's concealed, it's concealed. Fuck em.
I wish I could give this more than one upvote
In Indiana, yes, but unfortunately that’s not true for all states 😕
Spot on. Pennsylvania is the same way. Gun free zones are not legally recognised
Same in Georgia!

Dude is in an impromptu gun fight for his life and he's batting .800? That's Hall of Fame
So apparently 15+ cops with ARs and Glocks can't stop a shooter who has an AR, but a rando dude with a Glock can? This is why we need more armed law abiding citizens. Because they are literally better at defending the public than the entire police force. This guy legit had more balls than the entirety of Uvalde PD.
People tend to forget about how many good guys with guns have been shot and killed by police.
He's a Gud Kid, but the Law is Corrupt in some ways of getting Civilians Arrested or Killed if the Civilians have Guns or they did nothing

I believe they had actually just instituted constitutional carry in Indiana on July 1st too. That's one heck of a way to prove that constitutional carry works. Great job Eli.
Yes sir. It went into effect July 1st here.
We did. And he was carrying under the Constitutional carry, no permit.
Yup sure did, Hell of a way to prove it works

Stupid reasoning. It did not work, three people died. If you made much harder to access you wouldn't have this problem.
I had to pull my sidearm one time years ago a a walmart in a small country city in Missouri. Long story short my wife and i were leaving walmart and a couple were arguing in a car parked infront of us. The guy saw my wife on the phone and thought she was calling the police. He got out of his car with a ball bat and started walking towards our car yelling. I pulled my sidearm. He thought better of it. No shots fired.

Be armed get training and hopefully you’ll never have to use either of them but you will be prepared
Better to have the right tools and not need it, than to need it and not have it. As Brandon once said, a gun is like a parachute. If you need it and don't have it, you won't need it for much longer.
Personally i think that the people who get sentenced to prison for life or get put in and do nothing but gang shit, or more illegal shit while there in jail should be used as fertilizer.. is bullshit that we gotta pay taxes to support these pos lives .. it costs average 300,000$ a year per inmate to keep them in jail.. per person.. and think about how many people are behind bars for life or are just gonna wind ip being there for most of their lives.. thats too much money wasted on these wastes of life..
Really dislike that u can even be charged with possession of firearm after conviction, but ur not wrong. If someone wants something, they r just gonna do it.

Brandon, offering to build Eli an AK was awesome. That's putting your money where your mouth is. This is one of the most heartfelt videos I've seen.
Dexter fan?
I live in Greenwood and can still recall that day. I was working for a new pizza place that opened up called Lou Malnati's on SR 135 making deliveries. I was out driving when suddenly streets were being filled with police cars from all over the county and blacked out FBI cars. I didn't know what was going on until I got back to the store and was told there was a shooting at the mall. I was worried because my mom lives a block from the mall so I texted her saying to lock the doors and have her gun ready. Thankfully as we all found out later the shooter never left the mall. And this was only the first shooting, a few months later or so there was a dispute between some people and someone shot outside the food court.
Also here to point out, at least in Indiana, posted “gun free zone” signs on businesses are not law. And the newly adopted Constitutional Carry law allowed Eli to carry his firearm without asking permission from the state to exercise his rights. Carry, train, repeat. Exactly what this young man did. He should never have to pay another bar tab for life!
Heck if he ever find his way to North Carolina I'll happily buy him 8 rounds (of beers that is) one for every shot landed and 2 shots for the ones that didn't. Eli you sir are a legend!
those people in that mall owe him their life.
Amen
Yah I believe that’s a federal law. Only government run places(i.e. places that the government has ensured the protection of themselves)is it not allowed to have a gun. Hospitals are a weird caveat to that law. But you don’t really hear about people shooting ip hospitals. In America anyway.
The fact that Indiana just got Constitutional Carry, and a hero immediately uses it to stop a shit-head wannabe cold in his tracks is magical to me. I remember seeing an article just recently about it (I don't live in Indiana, but I live in a state that borders it), and it claimed that it would "make officers' jobs more difficult." I think we can put that to rest immediately.
Yeah it really shows what most liberals think of guns. Saved lives of countless people
We have it in Ohio as well, and well... nothing different has went on. No increase in crime as all the loons were crying about.
How exactly? If an armed man is entangled in such a situation it's probably going to be over before the police arrive, they can't be everywhere, it takes to time to assess the situation. The only scenario I can imagine when this is making police life more difficult is if there is an active shootout between the good and the bad guy when the police arrive but at the same time, I think people carrying have 1 mag, MAAAYBE a spare one so they're gonna be dry by the time the police arrive or end the fucker.
@@tropicalfruit4571 the only thing at least here in ohio outside of an active shooter situation that would make the police's job harder is that you are not required to notify them you are carrying during traffic stops anymore.
Several months ago I was talking to some Knoxville, TN cops about Constitutional Carry. They noted it did not cause any more gun violence even though that is always predicted.
The raw fear that the shooter must have felt the moment he realized someone was shooting back makes me feel better. Make predators afraid of their prey.

From what I heard, technically it was still legal for him to carry in the mall because, apparently, the "no firearms allowed" sign is not legally backed up in his state. The mall could ask him to leave if they found out and then get him for trespassing if he refused to cooperate, but he did not break any laws by having his firearm on him.
Same here in fl, we don’t have constitutional carry yet but “gun free zone” signs are not valid and you don’t break the law if you carry in them, only if it’s in a school zone or government building can you not carry.
excuse me, um sir, you shouldn't have that handgun in ... oh, well, thanks for dealing with rifle guy, but i'm afraid you're still going to have to leave. The concealed carry part seems like a nonissue so long as someone's adequately qualified/licensed and it stays concealed unless absolutely needed
you are under NO Legal Obligation to give your name to Rent-a-Cops, and if they don't have that then they can't Trespass you.
I make signs for a living, the sign read no guns allowed. He did not break a law , he broke a rule. For it to be a law the sign must be a 30-06 and 30-07, just backing up your statement

We took my toddler daughter to her first movie the other day. There were signs saying "NO WEAPONS ALLOWED" on every entry door. I had the thought "I wonder if James Holmes saw these signs..." BTW, I'm in the process of getting my CCW license
The part where you said “they dont give a fuck where its legal to have a gun” basically ends the entire argument of anti gun laws. Im from South Africa and if they were to make guns illegal here it would be total chaos. The people committing the crimes aren’t using legal guns. Then our government decides to make the gun laws stricter, making it 10x more annoying to legally own a firearm. That’s been my argument this whole time.
I disagree. It's a really poor argument that assumes if a law isn't 100% effective then somehow it's supposed to be a useless law, which is completely false. Like Paul Harrel said, if you are expecting a perfect solution (to reduce gun violence), then you are part of the problem.
It's a really hard issue to solve in America because of their culture of guns being a right, not a privilage, as well as a shitty political system which causes a lot of the population not trusting their government (rightfully so). And the whole conversation around the topic is just full of shit, anti-gun people having no idea what they are talking about, pro-gun people expecting a perfect solution that doesnt exists and everyone just name calling each other and generally having zero ability to have a civil, constructive discussions to actually find a solution.
@@Catrik Lol why do you think those criminals go to places like Schools and Malls to kill people becouse they know It's illegal to have a gun there and they are the only armed people and can do what ever they want the only one who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
@@Catrik it’s impossible to have a civil discussion around it when the majority of anti-gun activists know next to nothing about firearms and refuse to learn anything about them to formulate an informed case. Both sides misrepresent statistics like crazy but fact of the matter is is only one side of the equation knows a smidgeon of what they’re talking about and they’re not the ones trying to grossly alter legislation
If you look at photos the weapons used for cash in transit hijackings use old AK which I doubt we're stolen from legal gun owners
Lol south africa doesn't need guns bro they need peace and healing.
Ten shots in fifteen seconds with 80% accuracy on a moving and armed target 40 yards away is nothing short of incredible. Fantastic job, Eli. I don't know if you drink, but of I ever run into you, drinks are on me.

Eli isn’t just the Hero we needed He’s the Hero we have been waiting for.
Brandon, you da man for covering this and many other reasons. I live in Indiana and my sister and her husband with their children live a 1/2 mile from the mall in Greenwood. It's supposed to be a soft target but the Hero ignores it, thank God. Eli took advantage of our just past in 2023 Constitutional Carry Law. My sister hasn't been in the mall since because it's still a soft target! The mall needs to put up a statue or something for Eli for saving so many, especially my family could have been there. I'd hug this man if I could. 🇺🇲💯
Brandon my dad says this "it would be harder for these people to do this stuff if they didn't know who was carrying a gun or not" and I think this is a good evidence to back that up.
A heartfelt hurrah to Eli for defending those folks! Guy's a real hero, and I know we're all standing behind him.
next time eli better bring gun with more stopping power for example an AR with custom hollow point bullets

Agreed this young man is an exemplary person and as a foreigner he is one of the only times the second amendment has actually been used. Sadly the good guy with a gun could only perform damage control and save others from being shot, if only it hadn't happened in the first place.

Apparently it was disassembled in his bag and he reassembled it in the bathroom.
Malls aren’t as popular as they used to be but I don’t remember the last time I even saw a security guard in a mall let alone one checking people walking into a mall.
I hope Eli is watching, thanks man way to be a fucking hero. You deserve nothing but appreciation for sending home alot of moms dads and children.
If this situation taught us anything, it's don't be a law abiding gun owner, be a responsible gun owner. Get training, protect your families and communities.
Especially when the law makes you an easy target for criminals (“gun free zone”) I hate the left so much…
Precisely, OP.
Even though he did nothing illegal. Indiana doesn't have gun free zones short of govt buildings schools and state parks.
Also, Indiana is constitutional carry
Replace "gun owner" with "citizen" and we have America back.
Businesses can request "no guns" with signs but it holds no legal weight in a self defense shooting like this. All they can do is tell you to leave if you are on their property with a gun, that you foolishly aren't concealing, against their policy.
“Why didn’t he pepper spray him?” Bet someone has unironically said that while reading the article. And this is coming from a lefty black guy. Good job Elijah and this is why conceal carry is needed.

"Maybe they're legitimately disappointed that they didn't have another tragedy to stand on." Given their calculated cunning and deceit regarding their unending assault on our rights, I think this is the motivating thought process here.
This was a false flag
As an Indiana resident, I can confidently say that this is what will happen here every time. You come to Indy and start trouble, you will get powered down real quick. Nice job Eli 👍
I would say the same for us here in Texas but apparently the cops would stop us when they arrive on scene and just sit there with their supervisors thumbs up their arses

I live 30 minutes from Greenwood. I've been to the mall countless times with friends and family. To have this happen, not only in my home state but so close is sickening. Thank you Eli for your selfless act. We need more people like you. RIP to those we lost.
I was in Indiana once too and want some attention!
*Eli
brandon?
where at im in brownsburg
I lived in Martinsville for 3 years in HS and Greenwood for another 3 years in college. So crazy to see this happen where I spent countless evenings hanging out with friends.
Thank you for not naming the criminal; the less potential of notoriety the more this disgusting behavior is discouraged. We cannot let them have any attention for these actions in life or in death.
This whole video is 100% on point. Glad Eli was there and took that hell of a shot. You're right, Brandon, Ive thought it for years now: They WANT more people to die to suit their narrative. They don't care about who was saved or died, they care about the number of bodies at the end of the day that they can use as a foothold. Hopefully, Eli sees that there are people who care and appreciates what he did instead of the bullshit hate. Good job, Eli! ❤
*shots
Give the man fair credit.
They're actually mad he stopped him. They are saying it was a gun free zone and he shouldn't have been carrying......
That should tell you all you need to know. They ALWAYS pick fun free zones to pull this shit, and they ALWAYS look like they've been in a basement for a year before they do it. Coincidence???
Yea, I'm sure they're not part of some nefarious government false flags or anything....
Surely not.
More "Gun Violence" Occurs in Democrat run cities/states, but the ones that get sensationalized tend to be the ones that occur in Republican Run cities/states.
Eli and I were pretty close friends in middle school. I remember we were talking about guns in class one day and he told me he learned how to shoot from his grandpa and that he loved going to the range. Eli has always been a fine shooter. It’s been his hobby since he was a kid. He’s also a fine man, and was a great student.
ain’t no way
He's far and away better than a 'fine shooter'. His hit percentage is at least 30% higher than grunts in combat or cops in a very stressful situation
There is always someone like you in the comments. Where did he go to middle school then?

The girlfriend of the hero who saved countless lives Sunday night by shooting and killing the mass murderer with his concealed carry Glock pistol also helped save lives by putting a tourniquet around the leg of one of the victims so she did not bleed out.
Please remember them both in your prayers, for Eli was forced to kill this murderer, which he will have to live with for the rest of his life, and they both witnessed the carnage that day in that Indiana mall, which will deeply affect them both.
Wife thinks I'm crazy for carrying all day everyday. Theater's, stores,gun free zones. She seen this and said ok I see why now. What a great thing this man did. God bless you Eli.
That's kind of a crazy thing to think. I mean nobody would probably think you're crazy for carrying a harmonica with you at all times, including theaters, stores, gun free zones etc., yet some people would think its crazy to carry a more or less similarly sized gun to those same places. Just weird how people's minds work. I wonder what your wife would answer if you asked her would she think you're crazy if you carried a harmonica the size of your gun with you at all times. But i might be biased because i think of all people who don't carry a harmonica and a gun with them at all times as crazy...
All I tell her is if I'm carrying responsible nobody will know. And if the need for it ever comes and I hope it doesn't. But if someone is throwing lead at me I want something to throw it back.
Well she probably thought you were being TOO paranoid but the thing is the tragedy only has to happen once in order to get you and no one knows when its gonna happen. So by all means carry all day everyday my guy, Eli here just gave us more raison d'etre to train and own and CARRY guns.
Carry at home too. I believe 100% of home invasions occur at home. LOL Be safe.

Creds to Eli from Norway. You're a true hero. People who value semantics over human lives are obviously somewhat disconnected.
Im from Norway to,guns could be legal to carry everywhere for protection only.Btw i was close enough to Breivik,to shoot him before Utoya
Read an article earlier that said it was done within 15 seconds, chief mixed up reports in the press conference. So Eli is even more of a badass than previously reported. Thank you for amplifying this story.
The dude's obviously a hero but it annoys me how, instead of celebrating his actions and his saving of lives, people make it political and criticize him because he used a gun to do so, it just shows the bad direction this country is going in. This guy should be receiving an award or at least a commendation from his local PD for his bravery. That's what they used to do and would've done if this was maybe 10 or 20 years ago, now they're afraid to reward the real everyday heroes of any community because they're afraid of "backlash" and social media politicizing it and accusing the authority of taking a political side, even tho there's nothing inherently political about what he did! People like this guy should be who everyone looks up to in a community, someone who does a brave selfless act, not out of touch, delusional celebrities who aren't a good role model for anyone, and yet people like this, in a week's time, won't even be mentioned anymore by media, meanwhile absolute degenerates (like the shooter) will continue receiving almost daily coverage for many weeks or months to come, trash celebs and politicians remain celebrated in our society while real heroes like this receive their pat on the back and then are forgotten, it's why ignorance and immorality are winning rn.
About making it political, it feels oddly like when some US politicans used the 2022 Copenhagen Mall Shooting to show that with a gun control, people will still get hurt. Im amazed how Eli was about to hit 8 out of 10 on a moving target. I barely can hit a stationary target at 15 meters with a pistol :/
But what I think most politicans are failing to see isnt what the gun law is or are. It is the checks to stop who ever that gonna go out and shoot people. I think I going of topic and going too much political. But yes, someone like Eli that is able to stand up and end the threat should be awarded instead of getting criticized. If I had been nearby, then I would personally thank him
I've not seen a single thing by anyone criticizing his actions. Everyone unequivocally believes he's a hero, and he is. Stop lying about some opposition you've made up in your schizophrenia-addled mind.
It's almost as if the media is trying to turn the would be mass shooter into a victim. What is wrong with them?
I mean the local police chief did praise his actions, it's Indiana not New York lol.
I disagree that the country is moving in some direction against 2A, many liberals/leftists are coming to see the light and firearm ownership is growing like crazy.
We just had a SCOTUS case significantly reaffirm our rights in regards to firearms.
Who the fuck is criticizing this guy for stopping the shooting?
Way to go Eli your right the world needs more eli’s
We should make this a thing. Every time a good guy with a gun does his good guy diligence, he should be given a top of the line firearm, from some name brand manufacturer, or some shit. Reward the public, for having people's backs.
And that's happened what 3 times in the last 2 years? Vs how many mass shootings?
He’s got a lot of people looking for him to give him some really top notch hardware.
Don't give em anything that runs 5.7, we wouldn't want saving lives to be expensive like the wee woo wagon -_-

I mean, shit, "impressive" is an understatement. It was impressive that he had the balls to fire back to begin with, knowing his life would be on the line; we didn't even need to know that he had 80% accuracy.
I wonder what he shoots at the range? I'd be impressed if he did better under pressure...

Thanks so much for this video. So glad to see a good video about carrying and protecting
imagine... IMAGINE genuinely getting upset at someone because stopped a shooting because he was carrying in a "gun free" zone...
HOW can you use this as a serious point to your argument. these people are nuts, and honestly shouldn't have any say in gun law if this is how they react when someone STOPS a shooting.
Gun-control freaks know what their objective is; dusarming the political enemies of the Democratic Party.
That’s not even mentioning that the “gun free” policy has zero legal precedence
the same people are the ones still calling kyle rittenhouse a murderer for defending himself and ignoring all the good things he did before his life got in danger causing himself to have to put down 2 convicted felons, and injurying a 3rd convicted felon. honestly, lots of young boys and girls can sleep safer knowing that one of the 3 people he shot was a 5th time convicted child rapist who shouldnt even have been out of prison considering his young age at the night of the shooting that ended his life. because that pedophile shouldnt have ever been released from prison in the first place.
Hahaha agree’d man, tho had a funny thought what if they say made tiny state like made a whole new state, (a really small one) completely “gun free” and police free like they keep wanting as well … let all the anti gun nuts go live there and see how quickly it devolves into pure chaos…
Like over here in Aus we have extremely tight gun laws, fun fact tho our knife crime is stupid high..
The left is upset bcause it didn't do what they set the guy out to do. This ruined their narrative so they are upset that more people didn't die.
That rip on the mothers group had me almost crying. Absolutely brutal and I'm here for that hahaha.
Respect to Eli for stepping up when people needed him. When shit hits the fan you really learn who people are.

UK here. Trust me, the worst thing in the world is weapons being illegal but obviously the people committing crimes all have them...
I am not American. I am South African and I can tell you that I completely agree. There is no way to stop killings. If bad people choose to do bad things, they will no matter what they use to do it with. It is up to trained people with good moral compasses to counter it. We all want a better world, but taking guns away from good people and expecting that the other side will respect the laws is rediclous. Do not disarm those that carry for the right to protection and who are pro-life. Instead, incurrage additional gun safety and training. upgrade the training. This man is a hero and should not be prosicuted for knowing the danger and accepting the risk of carrying a concealed weapon into a mall. He knew the risk, but he still chose to reveal it and save lives. We need more people like that in the world. The law should favour and protect these people that have the training.
@Mzansi Indian the only way that we can fight to earn our rights to own arms is to join groups like NATSHOOT, GOSA, SAFE CITIZEN etc. The only and best form of GUN CONTROL is Education on GUN SAFETY and TRAINING/AWARENESS. Oh BTW I am also a fellow south African and a PRO-GUN activist.🦾

Congrats to this young man. We need more people like him.
Well said. Thank you for putting the truth out there.
Ironically he wasn't even breaking the law by concealing his gun into the mall, he broke store rules not law. Indiana is a state that protects your rights more than others so "gun free zones" are a suggestion not a law. Before people start nitpicking my comment obviously I'm excluding gov't buildings, schools etc.
Well made points. I'll add that there's is an important takeaway from this incident. While most self-defense situations occur very close quarters, the possibility of have to make a fairly long shot (by pistol standards) is still very real. This is another reason why practicing marksmanship is critical.

Heres a quote that really should be in the video “With great power comes great responsability”.
The dumbest part about people trying to condemn him. Is that even the police are in agreement that he legally possessed his firearm. In the gun free zone 🤦.
no guards and detectors and searches, then "gun free" is just a suggestion.. they think it works like a fkn "sugar free" drink or something, as we always say, as if a criminal obeys the laws by default..
Exactly, it wasn't illegal it was just against the mall's policy. At worst he could get banned from the mall, not charged with anything.
"b-b-but Blue Man Bad! So their opinion is invalid and so is yours REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
