Importance of training
This is an old video, but stresses the importance of training. This man sacrificed a lot, but he's alive. It's 10 minutes long, but worth the time IMO. He simply chose not to be a victim.

Thats the best video I have ever seen on this forum, or online for that matter. It shows the importance of knowing you weapon(s) and training with them in a manner that you might have to use it to protect your own life.

Holy crap!!
Does Guinness keep records on gunfights?? My hat's off to that guy. I'm glad he decided to work by appointment only. It seems like they weren't coming to rob him any more, but just to kill him.

I was just surprised that the man was still alive after all the times he was wounded...his training was indeed a vital part of his surviving so many attacks. I pray it continues to keep him safe. All the man wants to do is run his business, and all the bangers want to do is kill him...just because he protected himself and others from their criminal 'buddies".

Outstanding video. Sad to hear that he has to live such a reclusive life now, but he's alive, as he said.
Some of the YouTube commenters are predictable, but sad. Love the one that said he chose to put some watches ahead of the lives of others. Sorry, but I think the thug that walked in with a gun made that choice already. |

Pretty sure Mas Ayoob did a write up too on this.
It goes more into detail about the the gun selection. Started with a .38, then got a couple .357s after shooting those empty decided that auto loaders were better. (9mm and 45, if I remember correctly) If find a link I'll post it. Found it http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...6/ai_82533205/ Quote:

yeah, and the principled position that he refused to have his life made subject to a criminal's whims of mercy.
