Tactics, techniques and procedures. John just described why constitutional carry is not a good idea.

@monty8996 says:

Perhaps he thought. I have a gun. Therefore, I can handle anything. Forgetting that he's not the only guy in the world with a gun. Sometimes, a gun gives people a false sense of security.

@Flashulence says:

Yoooooo John glow-up 😂

@LTVoyager says:

It isn’t clear to me that the SG even knew there was a second suspect. It is somewhat like an incident some years back where a person was chasing a thief or such in a bib box store now knowing that the thief had an accomplice and the accomplice shot, and I believe killed, the man. Walking into a situation with zero intelligence is fraught with peril. Even cops generally have a 911 call or some level of intelligence when they arrive on scene.

@sharpshooter012345 says:

He could have just gone around them, locked the bad guys in and called the police.

@tjduff says:

Lots of "security guards" are boy scouts with guns that couldn't get into the police academy and settled for the next best thing.

@southwestrunner6384 says:

The lesson I learned:

Stay away from Houston…

But as a Texan, I already knew that lesson

@dariusbaja21 says:

Risking ur life for other people's crap they left in the car is nuts. Often times bravery is actually stupidity… Glad he made it tho

@Frenchymoto says:

So when you say they still looking for them but don’t even really try??? John can you ask about this seems like if they don’t ask enough questions?

@GiuseppeSimonetti says:

Learn how to use cover and concealment

@ReedeetZee says:

Great one as always, John! What in the HH is the security guard wearing – regarding pants. Weird.

@bassmangotdbluz says:

Too many dumbys think, I have a strap, I'm good; as opposed to, if I'm going to carry a firearm, I should be skillful in its use.

@kfj68agent53 says:

Hiuston is just a plethora of knowledge, huh John?😂

@baconblaster6422 says:

look great without the beard and lean look

@josephhall6399 says:

I always treated working as a security guard as being a reliable eyewitness. Make my presence known without putting myself unnecessarily in harms way.

@zack556 says:

Good points John, Security Guard should have been just a good witness, getting out of his vehicle, and out from cover was a serious error. Property ain't worth it….

@2driverpls652 says:

Think defense, not offense. Let the cops handle it first.

@oklahomahank2378 says:

The company will probably have to pay for his time off through workers’ compensation.

@NegativeROG says:

Having a gun doesn't make you Superman.

@-JonnyBoy- says:

We are looking for them. Is the police equivalent of "don't call us we'll call you" 😂

@Zn0nimus says:

So for those not familiar. The only job a security guard is legally obligated to do is the following:
Observe and report.

They are not obligated to engage under any circumstances, including life threatening situations.

Observe and report is their only job legally speaking.

@leebowers1783 says:

🗨🗨 You said on the last one it was the pedestrian's job to take care of a situation so the trained cops wouldn't be responsible for their mistakes & have to pay out 5 million for shooting an unarmed man that had a knife stabbing old women in the face. Remember ⁉️🗨🗨 YOU ARE STILL WRONG FOR THAT COMMENT! 😵‍💫

@advythoh says:

You guys rock. Awesome lesson.

@50AE1313 says:

OK John. Time to trim the hair, you are starting to give me that al sharpton vibe!! Not cool. Lol.

@debtfree_2024 says:

after doing several years of security work similar to this after the military, I learned the best rule of thumb is to remember the fundamental mission as simply "observe & report", there is no duty to intervene because you really have no legal authority to do so, unless it's a life threatening situation of course
