I'll go along with that, but being a hunter all my life, and having owned and operated guns all my life, I think that I would have been up for the challenge in the situation if it were to arise. Many successful soldiers during the wars were hunter gatherers, self reliant, and tough enough when called upon to serve. I'd say they were the backbone of American strength in the infantry lines, and we're also protector's of the innocent or weaker amongst the lines.You doggone straight I would want citizen's involved in a situation like this, because they could have helped to save these two men's lives if they didn't make it, and that's exactly what the criminal gang knew or they know what they attack the system in these ways. So you have no confidence in good armed citizen's helping when they see two law abiding overwhelmed armored car citizen's being chased down and possibly killed like what may have taken place in the video ?? Remember these two were being chased for quite a while, and still no help arrived or became present.
That response time is a killer when the action goes on for this long with no help in any form arriving to help out. It reeks of lawlessness, and a country that might be on the brink with this kind of stuff.
The cell phone was used when they were able to gather themselves for a moment to do so in the action. Your comment was ridiculous after watching what the two were going through.
Show me the last time this sort of thing has happened in this country. Lawlessness is not solved with armed citizens driving about recklessly and spraying bullets out of their driver's side window. We don't live in the Wild Wild West anymore kid.
And you're doggone stupid if you believe we do.
I would agree that a high speed rolling gun battle is not the place for other armed citizens to get involved. Its a bit too much confusion with what was going on and a high probability of bystanders getting hit plus it would involve a car chase which isnt going to happen.
However there are plenty of time's where the situation warrants civilians being armed to defend each other.
Had this incident happened in the U.S. where citizens were carrying, I highly doubt that any of them would be slinging bullets around in a haphazard way, most people would have more common sense. Most people who have any kind of training know you need to have a good target before you go firing your weapon... especially in a public place. More people would first be on their phones calling police initially.
Finally - a little SANITY enters the thread. Somehow I think our Beagle has watched one too many action adventure movies.
The only problem I had with your comments is that you assume armed citizens are well trained. Honestly, far too many are not. You can Constitutional Carry in about half the states without either a license OR training.

Well, there should be more training. I would mind that to go along with a carry permit
Where the hell is the police??? Had this been in the U.S. our cops would be there a lot sooner...... er well maybe not now since they are all quitting and being defunded in some places
Probably what happened there prior, and now we are heading down the same path.
This is a fair post, and I would agree, but if the situation heats up quickly, and the innocent are about to become a fatal statistic, then the appropriate actions can or should be taken to protect the innocent.Where have you been ? If not mistaken the latest death was of the little 7 year old girl in the McDonald's drive through with her dad, and yes bullets were spraying out of the windows of a car when it happened.You doggone straight I would want citizen's involved in a situation like this, because they could have helped to save these two men's lives if they didn't make it, and that's exactly what the criminal gang knew or they know what they attack the system in these ways.

Sad thing is that the left have gotten the citizenry to scared to take action in the stopping of the car if possible, and if attempted to intervene it would be in hopes to do a citizen's arrest before the killers get away to kill again or the lack of response aids in the killers to get away clean... Sadly the killers in many cases get away to kill the innocent again, and it has become a serious problem in many areas sadly for the citizen's, and now even for law enforcement.
No excuse in any drive by shooting somehow being something that the police only should handle these days, otherwise if armed good citizen's are abundant in the immediate area, then the vehicle should never be able to get in and out of the area with immunity like that, but we see what has taken place over time now, and it's only getting worse.
The guy's back in the eighties who started riding the subway train's in New York finally took action as the "Guardian Angels" because the police response time was inadequate. I think they are still doing it, but not sure on that.
To me, the proper action in a situation like this is to follow a drive by shooter at a safe distance, call 911 on your smartphone, put it on speaker and describe the car and its location to the best of your ability. Sadly, there are not too many instances with drive-by shootings where a concerned citizen is in his car and ready to move.
What you do NOT do is fire out your window or attempt to pull the car over or knock it off the road. And like police are trained to do, you abandon the chase in most situations if the car way over the speed limit and driving recklessly. Doing so puts even more citizens at risk. This isn't a Bruce Willis movie. The average good guy with a gun is not trained in this sort of combat, and outcomes can be horrific.
Yes, the Guardian Angels still exist. They are NOT armed.

When it comes to guns, it's amazing how much we can agree on when we lower the temperature just a tad. It's an emotional issue. Obviously you and Yarddog have more experience than most including me. I went through several trainings both public and private after I got my Glock for home protection but don't carry concealed or otherwise in public. I also practice at the range minimally every other month. Just don't fancy myself as some sort of badass vigilante. And I still believe in cops.

Yes, all things that work if being implemented by the right people for the right reason's. Trust in this country has been almost destroyed, and that makes everything suspect in most citizen's minds.
Not sure about the rights of citizens to bear arms in this country, but what is clear to me is that the criminal's have them, and they aren't afraid to attack in broad daylight.
More video's to follow.
We must retain the rights to be armed as good citizen's in America or we will begin to experience this same type of gang lawlessness across the board in this country, and that is unacceptable.
We have enough exposure to gang violence now, and it doesn't need to get worse.
We must protect the peace, and do our parts when the situation calls upon us.
These two guards should have been surrounded by citizen's with arms who would have joined into the fight for their survival until help could arrive. No excuse in this type of lawlessness to be normal in a civilized society, but there it is right before our eyes to study.
Now prove to us that either of those things happens with any regularity in this country.
This appears to be a bit of an epidemic in South Africa. At least they have the perps in this one. You want armed citizens involved in this sort of shootout melee? Dude, that's nut. What amazes me is that the the guy riding shotgun didn't get on a cell phone phone with law enforcement immediately.

Disagree. Another topic though.And all leftists and druggers are killers.All killers are criminals some are jailed some are hailed as hero's..Silly humans...
Jefferson was a leftist, and drugs are just a cheaper way to get kicks like bungee jumping, skiing, skydiving, etc.
There is no basis for making drugs illegal.
You would have to prove that those who do drugs harm others, and that is impossible because it isn't true.
This is the vision the left has for us.
Allow criminal sociopaths to run rampant, terrify the public into relinquishing their weapons, and then cull the herd as they see fit.
"Public (lol) SAFETY" is not the agenda, goal, priority or objective.

Well I believe you are wrong, but we can respectfully disagree. Liberalism is the biggest undermining force ever to become an undermining force in this country, because although it's supposedly based on the ideas that everyone is equal regardless of, and that they (liberals) are somehow the champion's of humanity, I think that they miss the boat dock by a mile because they are attempting to play God in the situations.
Liberals act as if they are wiser than God, but worse is that they are in the extreme denial of God in which leaves the door open for them to assume the role themselves, and that's when it all goes to hell.
Everyone agrees that we all are human beings born with differences, and that we had to create (after learning the word of God), a system in which those differences could be placed into a fine tune with one another if weren't evil or bad. Of course the liberals found out that not all are willing to be fine tuned into a liberal chaotic mess that will end up causing them to skip a beat in life, and all because of the liberal idealism that is generally anti-God these days (just look at what liberalism supports).
Especially in these extremist days when there are children at stake in the game, where as no one should want to bargain with their children's lives in order to seemingly just go along with a bunch of bullcrap that is known to be big time wrong.
So chaos is what the left is sowing IMO, and it eventually leads to what third world countries look like, and that should be unacceptable to most level headed American's. To be a more balanced individual, one must possess in ones make up a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and alot of this, and alot of that. What we are seeing these days is a total meltdown.
Liberalism is standing out, because it has become the most extreme and radical now, so they have to own it.
hahahhahahahhaahThey did it with Civil War losers also..It will pass..the Dems and BLM LOVE criminals and hate law-order....criminals are their HEROES!!!!!!!These two guards should have been surrounded by citizen's with arms who would have joined into the fight for their survival until help could arrive. No excuse in this type of lawlessness to be normal in a civilized society, but there it is right before our eyes to study.

I would agree that a high speed rolling gun battle is not the place for other armed citizens to get involved. Its a bit too much confusion with what was going on and a high probability of bystanders getting hit plus it would involve a car chase which isnt going to happen.
