Food for thought..... recordings not only are proof of what happened when things go bad but they are also proof of what DIDN'T happen when someone lies and says you did something you didn't do and the only way to prove what didn't happen is to have a recording that.... nothing happened.I had a gopro on me if needed. Could clip it to my belt. I like to avoid recording until somebody gives me a reason. As for calling 911, i walked in front of 4 cops and a sherrif's office uniformed officer.

Imagine having someone call 911 and say you were waving your gun around and threatening people. And imagine how it would go down if there was a whole group of MDA anti gunners willing to lie about it? You know... several people saying you did and just you saying you didn't. Wouldn't it be nice to have a recording that shows you weren't?
I record every minute I'm OCing in public so I will have a recording of what I DIDN'T do.... which I think is as important as having a recording of what I did do.

Does carrying a gun to protect ourselves from bad guys who would attack us physically with weapons.... make us the "aggressor"? Of course not....it merely makes us wise enough to cover our arses.Those are fair points. I suppose I can endure looking silly with a GoPro on my belt if it means covering my liability that way (nice way of putting it) How do you guys record during OC?
As for someone calling saying I was waiving my gun around, ok. But they would still need to prove that I was doing so. One person saying it isn't proof. Am I being ignorant/naive or is the worst thing to come from a serious anit-gunner a few minutes of my time assuming police actually decide to talk to me? So far police barely notice and if there is a car it drives past me. At the festival cops wouldn't even make eye contact with me (I was looking to see if they would notice me)
Somehow I feel like just recording all the time makes me more of an "aggressor" so to speak. If I'm not looking for a confrontation and I'm not doing anything that I would need to defend doing, then why record? I have the option to, with my gopro and my cell phone (which once Sprint gets a better network I will be able to stream videos straight to a server so if God forbid something happens my data will be safe). Truth be told, I do love the idea of recording everything because my mind, like many on here, likes to at least consider the WORST case scenario as potentially happening. But with the same note, I find myself wearing a camera on me to make me stand out more than my pistol :lol:
I'm not going to post (and I would hope that no one else does) what recording tools are available simply because I see no need to provide that information to those who would "accidentally" step on or even confiscate those tools if they are known. Not to mention that the recording laws vary from State to State so folks who decide to record had best know those laws as well as they know the firearms laws.
I also wish there were better recording units available.Luckily in KY it's a one-party consent needed for recording. As for stepping on, GoPro. I do like the idea of having your GoPro stream to your cellphone via the app and then stream to your lawyer's server, that would probably be an ideal setup if the camera was not in such a rugged case to handle bumps, dings, and being crushed.
As for witnesses, I mean I hear where you're coming from. We carry a gun in the once-in-a-million chance we need to use it, why not carry a camera in case the more-likely-to-happen "anti-gunner targets you with lies" scenario?
I kind of wish there were better resources for affordable on-body cameras that could record everything. With a GoPro, you can record about 2hrs in great quality (might as well since that's as long as the battery lasts). 4-5 hours max if you record on low settings with an external battery pack.

I would only provide this at trial .. after the commies have falsely testified and would be on the hook for perjury.
And have it thrown out for not being disclosed during discovery. For a supposed lawyer you are really a piece of work.
stay safe.
