7:46 pm
the security cameras have recorded the whole scene. there were three robbers. one guy came in and maybe a second had he said slated to get came in behind it the first get off and then the second guy came in that area telling me to go rounds the first day he wanted to hear the register hit right here in the drawer then for a second put a gun to his head made it go to the ground they got this is not a job now or what else. play in carries a gun but he chose not to use it on that night avoiding a bloodbath it's the threat of being shot or killed that's the it's not a wallet it's not a cellphone it's not money it's not stealing my car it's someone gets shot and there's no other option do you carry a gun to know it's
7:47 pm
a difficult issue though because i'm not for it but in a mill you like this worse there are so many dangerous people with guns it makes sense for people those guns to protect themselves. in the united states the gun issue is a sensitive subject. are they responsible for the increasing number. in new orleans more and more people chose to arm themselves. to. play. friend of forty years old former police officer. he doesn't leave the house without his arsenal and i have a main gun it just goes right i'm a waistband. although many as it is really very simple it just has what we call a combat dos this particular gauze has a static agent. and he in the not only saw they both have
7:48 pm
this wave opening feature which imagine my my pocket here but this little hook as i go to pull this out the pocket this little hook catches the inside of the pants and opens it automatically as a whole it out so i can i could defend myself from either side maybe a push against a wall and this side i'm not a big get this knife so i can get to this one or vice versa. like most people in new orleans brennan was traumatized by katrina hit and in with that there was some oil so it was really nasty down here. disaster. when you have adversity at the level that katrina was that's when those true call the start coming out. of family members to dallas to evacuate and when i was coming back into the city in dallas texas i had in a p.t. units passing me leaving the city. many police officers never return.
7:49 pm
now where you know we were very low on manpower dangerously low not only for the citizens but for the department themselves i mean these guys are you know we look we get more and more people shoot up police is just it's never seen more that than i've ever seen before. obsessed with safety. he transformed his car into a real armory. bucky all of this stuff handy just in case again something crazy happens active shooter as a you know concealed carry permit also keep all. a rifle it's actually technically a pistol but i keep something that's a little bit bigger and i keep additional ammunition as well as a body armor and medical equipment the stuff that i would simply need to see an active shooter at a school or something like that and then also just keep kind of general preparedness stuff vehicle maintenance stuff tools things for spare flat tires
7:50 pm
a water fluids for the vehicle general maintenance stuff that you know probably everybody should have in their vehicle. after quitting the police brennan chose to open a gun shop. you can find everything here from an automatic gun to an a k forty seven. but the red dot is there going oh oh how far is the range zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero for let us. know a little bit with the growing insecurity about brennan says this is flourishing week it was like especially considering that in louisiana arm sales are deregulator cool clothes you know if you anything i love you would say you have gone. and you carried with you you have it on you today and you're sure it's ok so you feel in danger. even if. you know. in this town the number
7:51 pm
of firearms is booming. their sales doubled the last ten years. but in new orleans. a man has found another solution than weapons to fight criminality. it's in the heart of the french quarter that live city tourist a forty year old millionaire. he made a fortune in the garbage disposal service. i'm trying you know rap today though it was a good quote i. heard by. a million. his house had been burglarized several times so soon he decided to invest part of
7:52 pm
his fortune into the security of french quarter. he created a unique and. it allows people to send real time information to the policeman of the neighborhood. you see something that says look suspicious prostitution drug dealing you see somebody getting rob you take the side and you can take a picture and send it and it goes directly here it's like having a police officer in your pocket. although one second this is a crime just came in over the radio and they say they sent a picture here you see suspicious person dolphin in governor nichols and they took a picture of him see him on the corner you see him on the ground they act like they're sleeping but they're they actually rob people when you walk. his idea was born after his conflict with the mayor of new orleans who he publicly accused of being in active in front of the rise of criminality i tried to get
7:53 pm
a meeting with the mayor and he wouldn't meet with me so i made a thirty second commercial and i started putting it all over the t.v. calling the mayor out on the crime in the cities the french quarter is under siege by criminal the problem can be it is only six blocks but thirteen. you may as well advised me to come in this week when the french the millionaire also stressing about the violence in the city and every sane way to deal with garbage. we should hold for the administration accountable for there was a real provocation. and so he didn't like it and he took offense to it he made millions and millions and millions of dollars off of garbage contracts in the french quarter and maybe he should just to get some of that money and do it himself if he thinks it's so easy it's just not like they decided to follow his advice and invested several hundred thousand dollars to create a french quarter task force a unit that works directly with task force you download it and you're able to connect police directly this was something that was launched just days ago in
7:54 pm
tonight's businessman city tour today the young millionaire has become a star in the american media. you know who as you can see had way last gray white black and blue. this afternoon he has yet another t.v. interview. has become a reference in the fight against criminality. you know it's not just draw people in jail or arresting our way it's not that fast we have to have programs the mayor the city the citizens work together. if we receive so much. it's because he is a real success in his neighborhood criminality is down by forty five percent.
7:55 pm

7:56 pm
killed by far olds in the us i only had a thought to me as i did this this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw it had to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know this but we are not. they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on this too since most doing it behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking
