Colion Noir Breaks Down a Driveway Carjacking in South Africa

Colion Noir breaks down surveillance footage from Pinetown, South Africa, where armed carjackers allegedly ambushed a father in his driveway four days after he moved in, with his young daughter sitting beside him. He drew from the driver's seat and fired through his own windshield.

Key points

• The numbers: reports put it at about 27 shots in 14 seconds between everyone involved, and one suspected attacker was killed.
• The draw: Noir notes the father had to lean forward and clear his shirt to reach his holster, and that a local security official mentioned a slight delay before he returned fire.
• Glass: citing a vehicle carbine course he took with Haley Strategic, Noir says bullets do strange things through windshields and asks whether you know what your carry ammo does.
• Capacity: the father put more than 10 rounds through the windshield, which Noir uses to argue against 10-round magazine limits.
• What comes next: Noir says authorities opened three attempted murder investigations and a carjacking probe, and that reports don't yet say who each one is aimed at.

Quick take

Noir says he can't find anything tactically wrong here: the father saw it, got to his gun and protected his kid. His larger point is that no one is coming in time when you're trapped in a car, so speed to the gun decides it.
