story i've linked in the description
says this is actually our attackers in
this very nice suv they have followed a
guy who withdrew a large sum of money
from the bank and is now driven over to
a relative's house i don't know why he
withdrew a large sum of money but you
can see in his hand there that big
envelope is indeed a sack full of money
while he's standing around in the
driveway waiting for his relative these
guys are going to kind of back up a
little bit hang out a little bit wait
around order take out and then dude's
going to show him a gun and our victim
yeets his bag of cash then our victim's
going to chase him down a little bit oh
that's right my bad you have a gun and
they are going to run off uh last i have
is that the cops have not caught any of
these guys our dude is out his big bag
of cash and we get to think about a few
lessons hey i have a suggestion for you
if you want to get to know stephanie's
husband neil better he is featured
pretty prominently on her second channel
active self protection extra because
he's kind of a badass with a gun and a
heck of an instructor if you want to
learn the particular set of skills you
need to withdraw a large amount of cash
should you need to our second channel
will help you out with that yup go find
neil over there would you steph i really
don't understand why we haven't figured
out that withdrawing large amounts of
cash you need to be very careful to pay
attention to see if you're being
followed where you're going next because
stuff like this happens
not only should you not make one mistake
when you're doing this you should make
multiple mistakes and here we are if
you're having trouble spotting the
victim it's the giant fluorescent-like
bag of cash up there will lead you right
to where your eyes should be looking
that's what we're doing we're standing
out with our money and and listen you're
in a transitional space you have a high
amount of valuables you've just come
from the bank and he even said that he
thought that maybe they had followed him
you got to pay enough attention that if
that might be the case you're not going
where you're going and you're not
stopping you're going driving to the
police station to see if they can help
you yeah
so wait inside call your relative with
the cell phone when they get there
whatever needs to happen i i don't see
standing out here doing nothing and he's
also not really paying attention that's
a big deal is that he's not paying
attention really and and listen we say
it all the time attention buys you time
time buys you options but if you're not
paying attention you only get to see the
fight when it's already on top of you
which is one of those big things now for
most of these transactions i get it some
people do like cash but but for the most
part man avoid large amounts of cash
they invite just exactly this kind of
problem and he's not paying attention to
these guys and look at how much time
they spend kind of readjusting the
getaway vehicle
something's not right here something is
out of place here you've got to go do
something but because our dude is not
paying attention he only gets to see
what's happening when the guy's
literally sticking a gun in his face
yeah and i think this strategy here this
throwing the envelope of money or
whatever valuable it is away from where
you are to to get the attacker's
attention somewhere else i think that's
super smart i think that is the right
decision here he is being faced with a
with a deadly threat here give me the
cash i'm going to shoot you he was going
to give him the money anyway so why not
give it to him with a heat and listen
what that does a lot of times is it
reorients the the attention of the
attacker towards the valuable that they
wanted to begin with and and so that
gives you opportunities and that can be
a very valuable thing whether you drop
it on the ground whether you throw it
over their head whatever you do in that
case just recognize it may not end the
threat immediately or perfectly getting
what's out of your hands though i think
is a helpful thing unless it's like a
baby or something like that because if
you're going to counter ambush you need
to have your hands clear if at all
possible now it's going to do exactly
that in this robber's case is it is
going to reorient him around to the
other side you see him run off now i
don't know that our victim here is armed
but if he were armed this is your
opportunity to do this just pointed a
gun in your face to shoot him right now
and it's not about where you shoot him
it's about why and there's several
people in the car here so this is not uh
they're acting in concert there's
multiple of them there's one of you the
threat is not over geared just because
one person's back is turned to you so
that is why you're illegally justified
in continuing to defend yourself the
threat isn't over one person's back is
turned and again we use deadly force
only when immediately necessary to
protect our life for the life of someone
that we love or or the commission of
great bodily harm upon us and this guy
still is threatening great bodily harm
even though he's turned away for the
moment so we talk about this all the
time it's not about where i shoot
someone it's about why i shoot someone
now if you say hey that guy's not
getting away with my money that's not a
great reason to shoot someone but if
you're saying that guy is still a deadly
threat to me and i wanted that to stop
because i was worried he was gonna
absolutely turn around shoot me anyways
and we've seen that many times they're
still an immediate deadly threat in your
vicinity great now instead our guy's
going to run towards him here and looks
like he's he's thinking about what he
put something in his pocket and then
realized oh never mind my bad oh yeah
that guy's got a gun and he is pointing
it at me again and i don't know if he
was armed in that case in looking for it
or whatever but don't chase fleeing
felons
yeah the smartest thing he did was to
throw the cash and then sort of turn
around and leave if he'd continued that
motion i think he was really smart i
don't know why he went after the guy in
the gunning or the guy with the gun and
the cashier again my that's why i almost
wonder if he didn't have something in
his pocket and even if we assume he did
he was not able to access it in time to
change
any of the outcome here um so maybe
there's some lessons there about keeping
a firearm easily accessible yeah having
it readily accessible is an incredibly
important point if you are going to
carry a firearm because if it's not
readily accessible it is useless in a
gunfight pay better attention to cover
your ass steph thank you so much for the
input thank you for having me
