how do u deal with aggressive teenagers as adult?

My girlfriend was on a bus the other night with her friend who is quite overweight. A gang of teenage girls started harassing them and calling her friend fat and so on. My girlfriend and her friend tried to walk away but the gang followed them and kept harassing them. My girlfriend snapped and confronted the leader of the gang and asked her what her problem was. Obviously she didn't take it well and got physical, pushed and kicked my girlfriend. She didn't hit back and eventually just walked away.

I got quite angry learning about this and been thinking how do you handle something like this? Even if I was there i wouldn't be able to do much without getting myself in trouble legally. In Sweden teens doesn't get punished really for anything but if you as an adult in some way hit back you could get yourself in quite some trouble...

What would be the best course of action to deal with something like this without getting yourself into legal trouble?

Justified in using pocket knife?

I’m 5’4 and slim. Almost had an altercation with this dickhead who was at least 6ft and a bit of fat because he didn’t like me and my grandmother wearing face masks. We didn’t say or do shit to him. He just eyed us and wanted to pick on us.

I ask this because he cornered me in the store by using his weight forcing me to step back and I ended up with my back towards a large glass window. He was feinting to head butt me and just talking shit. I’ve been in muay thai for 4 years, but I was not willing to throw hands with this large ass dude. However, I did have my pocket knife.

Had he did attacked me or my grandmother and I used my pocket knife, would I had been justified? I live in California btw.

How do I defend myself against shoulder bumping?

How can I legally defend myself at the moment of contact when someone intentionally pops me right on the shoulder or on the chest

I see this happen all the time without thinking about it. It happened to me the other day and I know it was intentional. The guys shoulder didn't bump my shoulder, it landed on my chest. Which I consider an assault, but don't know legally. What could I have done in moment as I was bumped? Raised my hand, and pushed him away? I don't know.

I know on-body carry is way better, but is carrying off-body fine in some situations?


I’ve seen people who carry off-body get absolutely grilled on this subreddit but I feel like there is a time and a place for that (like beach trips). I carry off body when I go to my gym to workout in a cross-body/fannypack style bag. I also pocket carry a ruger lcp 2 in certain situations and think there is a time and place for that as well.

Who tucks with their LCP Max?


I promised I’ve searched and read before posting myself, but I don’t see this question answered directly: who conceals their LCP Max with a tuckable holster and actually wears a shirt tucked in over it?I work in an office with a strict pants and button-down shirt requirement—no cargo pants, no untucked flannel, etc. And it’s Texas, so no unnecessary cover garments.Does anyone have good experience with their LCP Max in this situation? Suggested holsters? Bonus points if you use an Ulticlip or something that hides the belt clip, too.I typically pocket carry but always find it annoying to relocate my wallet or my phone to somewhere else.

Something the gun community seems to be missing


Yes the SCOTUS ruling gives states shall issue. But none of that matters when red flag laws are about to be incentivized at the federal level. Yes your ccw will be ahall issue. That is a happy trade off from the powers that shouldn't be when they can just use your social media to come raid your house, shoot your dog, and shoot you, all with immunity. Seems like a bad tradeoff and a distraction to me. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/6731I2a

What the recent SCOTUS ruling means, and what it does not.


Since the NYSRPA vs. Bruen ruling was published, I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion and questions in various gun subs about what it means. I realize that for the majority of this sub, I am preaching to the choir. Most folks here do understand. But there seems to be a lot of folks who don’t.What this ruling did was declare the requirement that an permit applicant must show “good cause” to get one unconstitutional. This basically strikes down may-issue laws. NY, NJ, CA, MA, MD, and HI (I may be forgetting one or two) will now be forced to become shall-issue with their permit systems. As long as you pass required background checks, they HAVE to issue the license. They can no longer deny you for arbitrary reasons.What this ruling does NOT do:It does NOT force all states to become Constitutional Carry. It only forces may-issue states to become shall-issue. In order for those states to become CC, they will either have to pass legislation at the state level, or have SCOTUS force them into it through another case.It does NOT create National concealed carry reciprocity. Your Pennsylvania license still isn’t valid in NJ or NY. Your Washington State or Nevada license still isn’t valid in CA. It simply means that residents of those formally may-issue states can now get a permit as long as they qualify (not a felon, not declared mentally ill by the courts, etc.).Again, I know most of you here understand this. But I’m seeing a LOT of people asking these things and not understanding what they can and can’t do. I just don’t want good, well-intentioned people getting themselves into legal trouble because they don’t know the law. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/UPRENhc

Any defence against the coward punch?

Is there any defence against the unseen hit from behind in the street? In Australia we call this the coward punch. There have been people killed by it. There was a case in Perth where a young soccer star was left in a hospital coma; I donated money to his crowd fund to get his parents over.

Now martial arts and weapons don't help here: you can't block what you never see. But is there any tactical training to use the street layout to make it harder for the coward puncher to get a shot away? They want the shot at you from behind. For instance at a train station or a bus stop are there ways of standing or moving to make the coward puncher have to do too much work to get in position.

This is what I WISH that self defence would teach. But it never does. It's not sexy. It doesn't get a photo of ancient Wu Shu. But avoiding the coward puncher can save your life. Note: I am talking about something totally unprovoked for the sake of just doing damage.

Knife Attack - Forearm Control

Combination Analysis: Knife Stabbing, Slashing, Pushing, and Footwork in Top Self-Defense Techniques

In the video above, instructors from the Israeli KALAH Combat System, show stages of self-defense against a bottom cyclic stab, using a technique called "Forearm Control" of the attacking hand. If in the first case a self-defense expert in an applicable method has a chance of up to 20% survival in the second case he strives for zero. I am not talking about an unskilled person in the applicable self-defense methods, because his chance in both cases is 0 for survival. The Israeli KALAH Combat System recommends a number of steps below to get some chance of survival:

  • Step 1 - Once the attacker is identified, the distance between him and the victim is life-threatening. That is, it must be reduced, before the victim raises his hands up, close to each other (defending vital body organs). When the timing of the counter-attack start must be as soon as the knife begins the movement and before it receives the maximum power of the swing. That is a short moment after the attacker's exit. Assuming the attacker is holding a knife in the right hand, the victim performs a counterattack with a triangular-step technique using the right leg. That is, to a zero-range reduction.
  • Step 2 - The victim using both hands will lock the arm (the hand with the knife), where when making the entry the victim's hands are closed to the fists (so as not to injure fingers). Important Note: Do not be in a ninety-degree (perpendicular) position in front of the attacker. In this situation, the attacker can move a knife immediately next to another. That is, in an ideal situation the victim would be parallel to the attacker while locking the arm.
  • Step 3 - The victim's body is tilted forward with both hands locking the attacking arm. Usually, in these moments there is a struggle between the two and there are cases where a rotary movement to the opposite side of the attacker is essential with the application of force downwards on his shoulder. Step 4 - In moments of struggle, the victim along with the circular motion and "Forearm Control" uses the right hand to hit the victim. Additionally, combined kicks and knees for vital areas of the attacker, like the groin and abdomen area.
  • Step 5 - The right hand continues to lock the attacking arm and the left-hand wraps around the arm. In such a situation, even more, force is exerted on the attacker from above, through blows to the head and kicks. When, in the end, the attacker is on the ground. Step 6 - On the ground, the left hand continues to lock the attacking arm, and the right-hand strikes until the knife are released from the hand. Important Note: The knife must be out of reach of the attacker (farther). When at the end of the process the victim collects the knife and moves it away from the attacker.

As an Uber/Lyft driver, I am concerned about my safety from certain passengers. I have done almost 3,000 rides and I have yet to encounter a passenger threatening me.

If so, which would you recommend and where can I find one in So California?

Advice for red dot sight off hand


Sorry for the wall of text, some background:I am recently divorced and was able to purchase my first gun less than 6 months ago. This gun is in my bedside quick access safe and has a WML and a laser sight. I took a handful of classes and I have made a concerted effort to make it to the range a few times a month. I not only shoot two handed perfect stance, but I occasionally shoot a few rounds one handed and a few rounds off-handed. The laser sight helps a lot and I am more accurate than I expected to be off handed.Well, in for a penny, in for a pound, I decided I didn't want a WML on a carry gun if I ever start doing that regularly, so I bought a second gun. This gun has a red dot instead of a laser and that works very well for me too, until I shoot off-handed. When the gun is in my left hand, the dot is not on target.Is there some trick I can use when shooting with a red dot off-handed to make it work, or should I plan to ignore the red dot and only use my iron sights when shooting off-handed? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/NuQvRrd

Self defense weapons that are legal at airport?

Long story short I'm a very weak 13f that has to fly alone very frequently, I have literally no muscle mass and could probably be killed by a slightly upset dog. I haven't left the house without pepper spray in over 2 years, (it's a comfort thing at this point) and am extremely anxious to have to fly without it. (It definitely doesn't help that I have a 3-5 hour layover in Chicago) Are there any self defense tools that I can take with me in my carry on?

Occasional spousal exasperation about carrying everywhere.


Wife says to me yesterday: "OklahomaHoss, you're just going to the QuikTrip around the corner. Do you really need to bring your gun?"I'm just curious if anyone gets occasional pushback from their spouses about wanting to carry EVERYWHERE. Now don't get me wrong, she supports CCW and gun ownership, she has one herself and loves to shoot, but doesn't ccw like I do, but I think that she thinks it's borderline obsessive that every time we go somewhere, I've got to strap it on.Anyone else? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/qbCFuzP

Is self defense neglected by most ppl in fights?

I feel like most regular people don't even think about it and concentrate on fucking up the other person instead. There's no sense of well I should probably put up my arms, try to block, or move out of the way from punches. It feels more like both people fighting just throw wild punches and hope one lucky one will be the KO. Am I right and is this to your advantage when trying to protect yourself?

Traveling to Ohio, looking for some insight.


Hello all. Later this month I will be traveling from Idaho to Ohio to see some family and will be taking my concealed pistol with me. From what I can find online, Ohio offers reciprocity with Idaho if the person is in possession of Idaho's enhanced permit, which I have. I tried to read through the laws for Idaho through USCCA I believe it was, and think I have the gist of it but thought I would check in with any OH residents here. I am planning on carrying an FN 509 Compact.Does OH have any 'restricted' carry firearms?Are there any restrictions to magazine size? (Mine are 15 and 12)Is there a restriction on carrying with a light and red dog optic?I will be in Summit, Cuyahoga, and Geauga counties with occasional trips into Cleveland. Are there any differences in carry laws/regulations between these counties?Additionally, I have my pistol in a pelican case, mags separate in the case, ammo in a factory box in the case, and the holster loose in my suitcase being checked. Is this all as should be?Thank you all in advance for the help! via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/KCVf0PX

When is it the right time to draw?


When is it to correct time to draw is it state laws or is it when you feel that your life is being threatened? Last night I went to a restaurant in Chinatown. There were three let’s just call them “gang member looking“. They were harassing the 5 foot two woman restaurant worker blocking her way grabbing our pockets calling a rude calling her anti-Asian slurs. And also alienating all of the other restaurant workers threatening to hit them if they looked at them. I was with my wife and three other teenage girls. I felt that I needed to remind them to be gentlemen and we should all just get along. As I was walking out the door they started saying that they were gonna kick my ass and put me in the grave. So I replied whatever and walked outside the door. They proceeded to follow me outside the door and asked what was it that I said and that they’re going to kill my Asian ass right there in front of everyone. I noticed that he was printing on his right side hip front appendix. I said to D escalate and kowtow and get us home and safe. We were less than 3 feet away at what point Could I have drawn if I felt like my life was threatened. Did he need to brandish before or not love to hear comments.

ccw of AR pistole


An interesting topic came up at work the other day, do AR pistols count as handguns, legally? I'm in Ohio and a) I have a cc permit and b) constitutional carry just came into effect.

I drew my gun for the first time.


I'm very detailed. Don't read it if you don't want to.I work 2nd shifts and get off work at 12:00 midnight, I work in Castle Rock and live in Colorado Springs. I had to stop late at a gas station about 5 minutes from my house. When I was checking out a girl asked me for help because she needed to contact her parents. She didn't know their phone numbers but was asking to sign in through snapchat. For some reason or another she was alone and needed help. When I asked her age she said 12.She contacted her sister and she said her parents were on the way, I didn't feel like leaving the child alone at 1:00am at a 7-11 so I told her I'd wait until her ride got there. Usually I'm in and out at gas stations because I don't like the variables but I ended up waiting for about 20 minutes. We stood outside the window by the counter and awaited her family.Then the night made another unexpected left turn.While me and the girl were outside the gas station waiting for her parents a man and a woman walked up to the store; they appeared to be homeless, the man was pushing a broken bicycle and the woman was carrying multiple bags.Then the woman, said "You need to give me everything you have on you"I said "Back up; I have nothing for you."She dropped her bags and kept walking up to me with her arms to her side. She said something like "Fk you mother fker I'm buying fking meth ain't cheap ill take you down fk you f**king...I told her to "Stay the fuck away. And chose to hold my ground. I'm not sure why. I looked at the man she arrived with and he was unfazed, just watching.As I shouted at him to "Get her away from me." She approached and hit me twice in the stomach.He dropped the bicycle and lunged forward.I took two steps back as I drew from my appendix and held the gun downward."Stay the FUCK away."I had a knife, but didn't like my odds. Still I so badly wanted this to end non-violently.I drew a gun because I believed my life in danger. Without regard for a public setting she hit me and attempted to rob me. I had no idea what either of them were capable of or what they were armed with and I wasn't about to be the silver medalist for fastest shot.Still holding the gun downward in my right hand. My left hand in front of me basically in a "stop" signThe man said "Hey man we don't want none of that you don't need to be doin that. She's crazy I'm not even with her we was just talkin..."She remarkably moved forward again at me, barehanded and he grabbed her.I repeated that he needed to get her away from me and he did. She walked backwards as he held her arms and screamed at me. After they were about 10 feet away, and still retreating, I reholsterd.The girl I was helping remarkably hadn't fled, perhaps as frozen as I was, but she was crying. The cashier came out as they were leaving to ask if I wanted the police.I've never drawn before. I've never needed to.Even if I could fight one person, I knew I couldn't fight two.The girl was upset and I tried to calm her down, she was concerned that I was okay because she saw the woman hit me but didn't mention anything about me producing a gun; in fact I'm not sure from her angle she would've even seen it; behind me 5 or so feet to my right as I held a gun downward to my left.LESSONS LEARNED:I should have had a pepper / oc spray.I will carry everyday.I need to find a better way to keep the distance between me and an attacker.I never want to draw my gun again.I never ever want to have to fire it.I will practice more for if I ever do.Try to stop before work not after.You put yourself at risk helping strangers. But it's worth it.I want this community's feedback as I'm sure there's a lot of people familiar with this topic and any opinions are welcomed.

There are a lot of shootings where I live and it terrifies me, to be honest. Anyway, I have shot a gun on a few occasions and am rather comfortable, but want to be very comfortable and know all I need to before I go ahead and do my CCW courses. So, I have two questions;1) What goes on in for a CCW course? 2) How can I practice shooting? I don’t own a gun, and don’t know how I can … practice(?) at a gun range without one. Obviously I am inexperienced and might just be dumb about how gun ranges work, but I wanted to ask you all! I am sorry if I seem very ignorant in this area, but want to learn. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/i5HFWcb

I can’t find courage

Hi I’m 25 years old male and I’m like 6’2 ,240 pounds I’m not a small dude And I have a real problem I can’t find the courage to fight even when I need too it’s becoming such an issue in my life, like if my life’s in danger I’m always trying to find a way out of a fight, it’s really affected my life as a whole like when I go out with women I feel like I’m just begging that nobody says anything to her or me, and when people say shit to me and try to start a confrontation I just completely lock up, I go mute, I freeze up, anxiety shuts me down completely 100% I can’t even move, my friends are starting to lose respect for me my girl is going to one of these days, and I’m just tired of being scared everytine I walk out the house it’s not a life worth living I’m terrified all the time I can’t go out or have fun or enjoy life I’m scared of getting into fights. I don’t have a big fighting background at all I haven’t really been in that many things but as a man I feel like this is ruining my life and help would really be appreciated

How to do a Rear Naked Choke | BJJ

Few key components for both securing and finishing a Rear Naked Choke that I have found to be successful. Obviously other factors can come into play for self defense, but this is strictly focused on the choke itself.

Since when did CCW's view on carrying 24/7 change?


Multiple comments downvoting some dude to hell for saying you should carry at all times. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/wlsDpq9

Sometimes I don’t carry my gun on me. Today was a day I wish I had


So basically, I was having lunch when this asshole was pissed off and was bullying the workers for fucking up his order. He kept rambling about being disrespected and then said that he’d come back and shoot the place up. I fortunately took a picture of his license plate. I was very anxious when he said that. I probably would’ve been less anxious if I had my gun on me. The cops were called, they asked what happened, and took some notes. I left after I gave my information. Very eye opening experience. I think I’m gonna carry more often now. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/70IRrLB
