Why Your Draw Times Can Be Vitally Important

I have seen this terminology posted on here several times in the past. What exactly is "active Self Protection"? I live in Plano and already am always in a self protective awareness mode. I don't even exit or go back to my vehicle without scanning the area for possible trouble. Is this an actual thing the "authorities" in Houston declare?

"Active Self Protection" is a Youtube channel that breaks down shooting news story videos and offers commentary about what went right or wrong in the event. I enjoy it, and they make a lot of good points - as far as I know, I'm no expert. Stories from Houston have been featured a lot lately.

OH! That sounds cool. I will look it up. Thank You!

Father of 3 dead.

It’s important to know your limitations.

Chasing after 5, just because you have a gun is not good odds.

1:30 am. Opening car doors in his neighborhood, opened his car door. He came out shooting. They ran down the street. He chased them in his car. When he came back to his house in his car they were waiting as that was where their car was. Shot and murdered him in his front yard.

The victim was in his home and came outside shooting. Maybe not such a great idea when there are five thugs outside. It is hard enough taking down one person alone but taking down five without getting shot yourself is a pretty difficult task. One thing that comes to my mind is that even if he had killed all five of them, what are the chances of him being charged with murder? I am not sure how the law works on a situation where you go outside shooting at people for messing with your car. Personally, I would have called the cops and stayed inside watching them while armed. They approach my home and it is open fire time. Situations like this is why we all need an AR.

I dinno how it would go these days, but there was a case in Houston years back, where a repo man was taking somoene's car at night. The homeowner stepped out and shot him dead with a rifle. He got off since it was deemed reasonable that he though someone was stealing his car.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

Tide may be turning. 3 burglars shot by homeowners in last 5 days. Two didn’t survive.

I kind of wish we had a "Mean Streets of Dallas or even DFW" thread. I am sure we have almost as much random crime as Houston. We just need someone around here that reads up on daily news. I know quite a bit of random violent crime goes on in Arlington and Ft. Worth.

Houston is so bad now that New York newspapers write about our murders.

Mechanic ambushed and murdered over $500 repair bill on a car.

So sad.

Elderly Man Robs Store For One Pack Of Beer

Couple things go through my mind. First, there is no way I would have gone out and approached that guy if I was only the clerk at that store. They don't say if he was the owner. The next thing that crossed my mind is the driver of the get away car. Who knows if the driver had a firearm. The driver may have come out of the car shooting. Active defense mentioned OC spray but again, the driver could have still jumped out shooting. All over a six pack of beer. Maybe I am just too lazy or old but I ain't fighting someone over a six pack of beer.

A long time ago I worked as a clerk at a 7-11. During orientation we were told if robbers came in to give them whatever they wanted because nothing in the store was worth dying for.

Now that is a coincidence. I worked at a 7-11 from when I was 16-18 or 19. I remember that training well. Funny part of that story. I lied and told them I was 18 when I was 16. That was before the age of computers.
