Hi, John: Thanks for emphasizing the moral and ethical use of firearms. Sometimes, I wonder if a certain segment of the gun-toting population becomes inured to their exposure to firearms and honestly don't feel like it's a big deal. This falls along the lines of getting sloppy with firearms safety rules – people just tend to become nonchalant around things and activities that they are used to seeing or doing on a regular basis. For that reason, it's good to have a youtube personality, like you, emphasizing this, not just providing lip service, and certainly not just focusing on tactics, techniques, or gear (even though those are all important and fun too).
What has attracted me to firearms has been the training methodology and well-roundedness of knowing the law, ethics, as being able to save lives (not just take them). My interest definitely wasn't for the adrenaline rush or the loud bang or any sort of machismo…
Getting out of the danger zone is a good idea. I think your videos satisfy my curiosity on how real events go down, so that I don't be stupid and hang around just to be a spectator of some real life action, and then get accidentally drawn into it as a victim or as a part of the news story…
In the case of this FL man, he probably had no training, no mentor, or no role model, so whatever his financial circumstances, low self-esteem can bring out the gun-brandishing frustration in him. We just have to be aware of how untethered people can become from societal norms and be ready to act to either get out of the danger zone, or to put down a threat (if presented with no other choice).
The second he walks in and starts threatening the clerk I would believe he’s fair game. I’m sorry but if my kids are in there with me he’s going to take the room temperature challenge. A sling arm is one thing but that situation there would be no time defend if it went south.
Yea them other dudes standing around like they stupid. If I see a white dude walk-in up with an assault riffle, I’m outta there too. You never know if he ready to smoke anything moving. Y’all forgot about Vegas, or that shoot at that festival the other day? Y’all better wake tf up
Lot's of judgmental comments on Florida. Not any different than any inner city including states banning firearms. I lived in metro NYC and LA and spent time in Albuquerque. Lot's of stupid and dangerous souls there. All these places had 4 -5 shooting deaths most days. on the news. Before you judge check you crime statistics.
Yes, I agree there is lots of stupidity in the video especially that perp. He makes all gun owners look bad and another reason for not-so-right politicians try to take guns away from us.
I hate to say this but if I saw this guy coming in the store I would have shot him ! With all the mass shooting going on along with work place violence going on ! You don't know what his intentions were, Ill live to tell my story another day !
If you ask most gun-toting, 2nd Amendment loving NRA card-carrying people – they would agree this dope does not deserve the privilege of owning a gun. Responsible gun owners do not think it is morally or legally permissible to wave around a gun just to punctuate your point. It is a tool that deserves the utmost respect and responsibility in handling and employing. It is not some stage prop that idiots can wave around like a picket sign.
If any of those guys had some training this guy would have been hit, gun taken away and arrested on the spot. Could have very easily gone bad here, but glad it worked out and no one was hurt. Throw the book at this idiot for bring out a gun for one dollar…smh
I was kinda expecting someone to rush the idiot when he walked in all willy nilly, before he raised the gun. Oh well, thank goodness no one was injured, the dipshit lost his freedom and that sweet gun for a hundred pennies, besides the loose change under his seat and the "take a penny" tray, the idiot could have just gone home to slowly kill himself with his cigarettes.

When you're too use to mass shootings. No one runs at the sight of a guy who brings a AR 15 in store. 😐
Florida man… from NY.
I hope they pull all his weapons
Stupidity level: Florida Man
see Florida man in title This is going to get weird.
its not his problem that he was born with a stupid mentally retarded mind..God created this guy on a busy day.
The second he walks in and starts threatening the clerk I would believe he’s fair game. I’m sorry but if my kids are in there with me he’s going to take the room temperature challenge. A sling arm is one thing but that situation there would be no time defend if it went south.

Good thing he wasn’t in the McDonalds drive thru being told they were out of chicken McNuggets!

Well it is Florida, soooooooo……
What if any of those bystanders had a gun on them ?
Yes, I agree there is lots of stupidity in the video especially that perp. He makes all gun owners look bad and another reason for not-so-right politicians try to take guns away from us.
I guess their is more than one customer in that store waiting to get the drop on him and thought better about it.

Another idiot giving AR15 gun owners a bad name.
Bro getting sponsored
Get that bag !!
He is showing frustration by the beginning stages of being ripped off, 1 dollar turns into 2 dollars, 2 dollars turns into 3 dollars and so on
Hope the cops go to his home and removes every firearm. He should lose his right to have a gun.
People didn't even move or run out the store.
FLORIDA MAN, donut is gonna love this
Hi John….. I live in FL so I am eager to know where in the state this occured.
I couldn't find a link in the description…?

There is definitely some that should not have a firearm. Sad but true.

Wow….people are slow to leave!
