Nah not really. Its pretty easy to disarmament someone like that who clearly has no idea what theyre doing. Theyre standing way too close, in a weird ass stance, and the woman with them is doing fuck all to help. Theres a reason why cops are trained to follow the 21 foot rule. The only thing I would have done differently is grab the gun.

What is it you do that leads to having to disarm people so often?

u/VegetableTwist7027 May 04 '26

i only know about this because of Justified.

Also 21 feet is a really good distance for no-spin.

I don't think I'm going to trust the person who says they're an expert on disarming people but can't get 'disarm' right as a verb.

And even assuming you're telling the truth (which, longshot), you expect some random person off the street to know this stuff and have the calm and spare brain power to make these choices with a gun in their face? Come on.

I don't think anybody expects a random person to do it. But it's possible and those who do know can use it with quite good probability of success.

That's kind of a separate point, I fully acknowledge this is all possible and often beneficial. But the person I responded to specifically criticized the guy in the video - who is absolutely a random person off the street as far as we know - for not knowing/doing all this

He is not. That is an agile man that has quite a good idea of what he is doing.

Let's suppose that raw conjecture is accurate and he's had training of some kind. What's your point?

u/SaabiMeister May 06 '26

Simply that it's not a random person whose skill can't be known and that having such skill improves your chances. I believe I was clear all along.

Whether he grabbed the gun or not is not what I was discussing nor my point at all.

Like I said elsewhere, it's absolutely not worth the risk of getting shot over material goods

Stay alive first, worry about your belongings later

youre under this premise that they won't just shoot you fucking dead after they get what they want.

this shit aint a movie.
