If that monster had stepped out of the Porsche Panamera without a gun, I still would have had the mother of all adrenalin rushes. Of course, I would have never left my car in the first place. As soon as Porsche guy blocked me in, I would have backed my car up and gotten out of there. Failing that, I would have driven past the Poker, scraping the door – even though it would have escalated his rage. I’m no James Bond, but my driving skills are a lot better than my fighting skills – with or without a firearm. (True story). Anyway, approaching a driver outside my vehicle to bitch at him for not letting me past? Not even an option. But let’s say you found yourself in this situation. What then? Well . . .
The non-Porsche driver had the exact right idea: put the car between yourself and Gigantor. Only our “hero” only had that idea after the initial physical contact was made. (I was sure the big guy was going to fire moments thereafter.) During the ensuing chaos, the big guy bashes the windshield and racks his slide. Is there a condition above condition red? Puce?
And yet the guy being chased is moving like molasses. When you’re looking to put a car/tree/mailbox/whatever between yourself and the bad guy, don’t mess around. Move! As soon as you can, run! That’s even if you’re tooled-up. Again, master the art of shooting at a pursuer while running away. Although . . . that was a pretty damn crowded crime scene.
When Gigantor fired the gun (2:13) I was sure that was it. But what’s this? There was someone else in the good guy’s car! Well thanks a lot for the help. I guess it didn’t occur to her to beep the horn, run over the guy with the gun or something. I don’t know about you, but I once found myself in a suddenly dangerous situation where a best bud did sweet FA to help me out.
Another post. For now, remember that parting isn’t always such sweet sorrow. Sometimes, often, it’s the difference between life and death.
what was that i heard one time about de-escalation…oh right
escalating the situation by being the first one to step out of the car seems to be the wrong choice here. especially when andre the giant gets out of his clown car.
Especially in Russia, where a PorschePanamera is a good clue that the driver is a mafioso
Let me know when LA county is taken care of….
What is it with Slavs and dashcams? Also, a pretty safe bet that if you see a Porsche in that part of the world, the driver is a member of organized crime (government or otherwise).
Dash cams are super popular in the FSU secondary to so much fraud, corruption and the like. The bonus was the great asteroid footage a few months ago. The cams are cheap enough now that I have considered putting one in. The nice part about having your own camera is that you control the distribution of the data.
Rule #1 – don’t put yourself into positions to get into a battle. This guy failed at that miserably. Rule #2 – carry a gun at all times legally possible. Rule #3 – escape escape escape – do NOT provoke or escalate. Rule #4 – if escape isn’t possible for you or others – use your gun to stop the threat.
Option #2 impossible in Russia.
Liberals always double-down on stupid, it’s the only hand they’ve ever been known to play.
If this is Russia then it’s just about legally impossible to own or carry a handgun. What was up with the tail lights on the white car? They looked like they were strobing like an unmarked cop car. maybe goliath is a cop?
Cop driving a Panamera? Not likely.
I once had an experience similar to this when I was lost in a not-too-good area of Seattle. since I was on the left lane and the other driver was on the right, I took the first left turn I could find when I realized I was the target.
What amazed be was that the road rager was driving a school bus. With a bus-full of children.
I guess goblins know no bounds.
let me guess, Rainier Beach?
A taut thriller/ The season’s most gripping joy ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wish you knew Russian.
No tolerance, No Common Sense.
I commend the mans bravery. Although to me videos of people standing up just scream ‘SWAT ME’.
But you know… at the end of the day someone has to stand. Or else we’ll all fall.
Is the 1310 from Benelli or Beretta?
I gave up Facebook for Lent and may not be back after Easter.
Your Lockdown of the Day™ comes from Rifle, Colorado, where Rifle High School was briefly secured yesterday when administrators spotted the word “Rifle” on walls, signs and student clothing. Sensing a threat, students were asked to strip and school yearbooks were burned en masse.
Business as usual
Basically……
The operator operating the weapons systems during special operations would truly have a weapons system worthy of operating like a weapons system should.
Ha yea I kind of felt that coming on when the word Operator was in the company name 🙂
im in line to purchase add a sling nut too it fist though. it will make may rossi .44mag with 15″ barrel the badest ass gun in the safe! bring it on!
Wow many good points! another one I’d use if EVER in the presence of a live audience and my opponent were to say “But you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater!” I would loudly yell FIRE!, FIRE! Then while he still has a confused and bewildered look on his face I’d hand him my cell phone and instruct him to call the cops to arrest me. Then use that as a teaching point to explain that that expression is an outright lie and only if by abusing a right and someone is hurt/killed are you liable for that.
Then of course great comparisons to actually committing a crime vs an attempt at pre crime. Owning, carrying a firearm should never be punished even though you COULD abuse that right. Kinda like registering every man as a potential rapist because he has a penis..
Also on the whole registering/licensing for using cars thing that is a lie as well. I only need to have a license & register a car for use on public roads. My brother and I used to autocross/race a lot, and MOST of those vehicles aren’t registered, same with tractors, off road vehicles etc. No insurance needed either! An outright lie that most 2a supporters fail to address.
If you don’t have quick clot, tampax/tampons, etc and you need to stop the bleeding, slap on a couple of tea bags (make sure it’s black tea, such as Liptons). The tannic acid will cause the blood to clot pretty quickly. As a dental tech in the AF, that’s what our dentists would tell patients that had teeth pulled. If you run out of 2×2 gauze, bite down on a tea bag. Works pretty much every time.
So did the guy die? Or was he just wounded? Whatever the guy in the Porsche did, chasing him down and getting out was the wrong move.
Lets hope the sabre rattling pays off & nobody gets killed.
The mention of police, & the fact there’s a “Donut Express” on the map made me snicker a little…
Re: banning concealed carry in apartments.
It’s been ruled that public housing cannot ban legal, constituionally protected activities or possesions, inclduing guns.
Even before the new carry law, Illinois allowed for an individual to carry in any manner they chose in their home or fixed place of business, so no private landlord ever had the ability to ban the ownership or carrying of guns while in your own apartment. The only thing they can do now is prohibit concealed carry in common areas, and this only applies when that area is the destination. Meaning, you can carry through the foyer to leave or come home, but you can’t carry and loiter in the hallways if it’s prohibited. Any leasing agent who tried to overstep their bounds would get the smackdown real fast by anyone who knows the law or is paying attention.
That suppressor looks awesome.
WTF? Really guys? Who is teaching the hunter safety course over there, Dick Cheney?
More hunters are probably killed and injured getting in and out tree stands than by getting shot. Few of these casualties get reported on the news because no firearm was involved.
Great PR stunt, but I doubt any serious shooter, let alone a military, would have even the slightest interest in their product.
Wow. I would have been sent to the electric chair in the corner if they saw my arsenal of cap guns at that age.
Someone else here said it first, but I still love it.
“Some Moms demand action, other Moms take action.”
I thought this article was going to be about hunters who think their hunting firearms are safe from the attacks of civilian disarmament proponents.
If anyone reading this comment falls under that category, please note that gun grabbers want to remove all guns from everyone. They have recently even banned or proposed bans on various semi-automatic .22 caliber rimfire rifles in various states.
Gun grabbers are not shy. They have publicly announced that they want to ban ALL handguns and all military style semi-automatic rifles. And, as I stated above, they recently moved to ban many semi-automatic .22 caliber rifles. Gun grabbers want other long guns as well such as pump action shotguns or lever action rifles with magazines that hold more than 5 rounds. Other gun grabbers, in somewhat less public venues, have expressed that they want to eliminate guns that hold more than three and even one round in some instances.
So, to all you hunters who think the gun grabbers will never come after your “high powered sniper rifles” (bolt action deer rifles with scopes) and “assault shotguns” (pump action shotguns), you are sadly mistaken.
There seem to be a lot of newer cars in this video. That must be a more well-to-do area of Russia, as from what I have heard, Russia is extremely poor. But that video could easily have been taken in a rural area of the United States appearance-wise. I see ordinary-looking homes and no Ladas or anything.
Simple, really. If you are an armed responsible citizen then stay in your car and smile, do not escalate the situation. If you can drive away safely, do so. If not and he gets out and gets aggressive, call the police. If he produces a weapon or bashes through your window, nutralize him. It is that simple.
Your harness is attached to a line the minute you take the first step,up….
Every stand gets a line tied off well above it with a line hanging down to waist level, on the line is a self tensioning hitch. Most often a Prussic knot, clip in slide knot up as you ascend down and you descend .
Most falls happen it the transition between climbing into and out of stand.
“……sell products that may be used against the Unites States or its allies.”
Careful. Pretty soon Conneticutt might be on the “no sale list”.
Hmm recoil is known to play havoc with poorly designed and manufactured riflescopes. Are you really going to risk your precious iPhone to an undetermined fate? A day or two without all those apps, contacts, photographs and worse of all a trip to wait in line at the Apple store?
We have fired thousands of rounds using an Inteliscope and we have thousands of customers since July, when we started selling them, who have also shot thousands of rounds. We have never had any phone damage. I would certainly not recommend the polymer version for anything over an AR-15 but the PRO version is all aluminum, universal, and is tough as hell. I regularly use the pro version on my SR-25 (308) and on my UTS-15 (12 gauge)… I have never tried it on a 50-cal but I would love to.
They ARE selfies, but I still like the show of support. Provides individual faces to the issue to replace the snarling stereotypes that exist in the minds of the other side. Back in the late 90s, when the web was fairly new, I took all kinds of selfies. But of course, those would not appropriate in this context. I fear I’ve said too much,
I propose that, like a ‘thumbs up’ being a sign of approval, a ‘right angle salute’ (picture above) similarly signify approval. Saying or yelling, “Right on!” should cement this new hand sign into the American experience, thus invalidating forever this nonsense. Also, ‘Boom’ means many things besides ‘I send a projectile into your cranium.” Bazinga, Boo Ya, etc.

According to Uncle Joe I am supposed to either:
A) empty that puppy out on the balcony or
B) shoot through the door.
Since I have more than twice the capacity of Joe’s trusty double barrel, I can do both! Which would conceivably take care of both intruders.
No need for the (of course my man baggage isn’t big enough) SCAR after that.
speakupforthevoiceless.com <- oh noes! the site DNE, if they let the domain expire, some pro-lifer should buy it up, that'd probably make them fume. (Not saying all evironMENTAL people are pro-abortion, but I think they line up more that way than others, nor are all envioronmentalists "MENTAL"..)
