How would you have handled this situation?

Taking the advice of this staged video will more than likely get you killed.

100% staged

As soon as the thief upped his handgun: No question.

Seems a bit set up, but it’s a good positive video.

You mean like script writing or editing 🤔

The first time I said "Put the gun down" and he didn't, he'd be wishing he did. I don't have time to negotiate their feelings as to why they are on my property.

Highly suspicious. I like the part where he turns his back to the kid who still has his gun, and walks in before him.

I'm not turning my back to him and he's def not coming into my house

Never ever would have I turned my back

First off, I would have made it a little more convincing and harder to see it was staged.
