even in four-on-one encounters the
presence of a shotgun is a heck of a
force leveler
hi everyone welcome to today's lesson
here at active self-protection I am your

for sponsoring today's video so you see
these four guys are going to write up on
two Motors very common thing to have
multiple people riding a moto in
Thailand but what you're going to see
here is they're going to kind of dawdle
on the other angle we have audio let's
listen in

the new story that I've Linked In the
description says that he did hit one of
them with the shotgun which was loaded
with Buckshot they did arrest one of the
other guy who was on the Moto that got
dumped the other two dudes got away and
they did not get any product all right
show hands who loves the gauge as a home
defense or business defense tool I love
the shotgun we have a whole series on
active cell protection extra on use of
the defensive shotgun and good technique
for it hit the link in the description
and go get your learn on on the gospel
of the gauge I really think the key to
paying attention is to establish a
baseline are people doing what they
should be doing what you expect them to
do is this normal and and two dudes
riding a moto in Thailand very common
and so that's normal but kind of
dallying here and and hanging out around
a closed store and just standing around
that's a little bit abnormal and so one
of the biggest things you can do in
paying attention is just ask yourself
the question is everything that's
happening here in normal are the people
doing what I expect them to do if
they're getting on and off bikes are
they are they going somewhere are they
getting on and going or are they
dawdling are they paying attention to
who they shouldn't be paying attention
to these are all pre-attack indicators
and these guys are doing exactly the
things that we go this is not right so
then they grab guns out of the bag that
they were in and very interesting to me
he just shoots through the glass with
what looks like a suppressed firearm to
me certainly sounded like one too now I
would say if you run a jewelry store the
bars are great and all that stuff but
maybe some shatter proofing on your
windows would be a good thing I don't
know that you could make the bulletproof
at me take an awful lot of effort and an
awful lot of money but maybe just a film
that keeps them you know kind of
shatterproof and keeps the people from
being able to beat them in because
you've got all this expensive product
would be wise recommend that for if
you've got you know large glass on your
front door of your home too would be a
good idea
now that dudes bust in okay fine I love
the fact that the owners then are gonna
kind of bug out and stay away from the
problem here I do think it's really
in that the people in the store next
door are kind of watching and putting
their hands up and these guys are kind
of giving them to just get down symbol
here just like nope go lay down so that
you don't have to mess with it I would
not recommend laying down here I would
recommend running is the honest truth
just get out of there and I know
specifically in retail environments
people feel like no I've got to kind of
defend this store here so that nobody
comes and steals or whatever friends
there's gunshots that are breaking right
now and even getting down was certainly
better than standing there and watching
or filming for gracious sakes I would
recommend runoff get way away from there
use your mobile device call 9-1-1 tell
them what's going on or whatever 9-1-1
is in Thailand I forget but recognize
that is not cool now also I want you to
pay attention to the fact that here we
have a very dangerous situation notice
that this guy is is really aiming his
gun back where the owner is and his wife
and and every time you add an armed bad
guy here or if you are within vicinity
of them an unarmed bad guy you increase
the difficulty by an order of magnitude
particularly here you've got two gunmen
two grab man you've got a four-man crew
this is very dangerous and they have two
Firearms now that said your own firearm
is a powerful force multiplier and you
got to recognize that but if for guys
paying attention to you that makes it
very very difficult now you will notice
here that as the first shot breaks the
shot's gonna go right through all the
midst of these guys and miss everyone so
there's a myth here that I want to bust
and that is that a shotgun you don't
even have to aim it because it'll just
you know blow pieces off of people
whatever hogwash you have to aim a
shotgun and I think one of our owners
biggest challenges here is he kind of
just thought well I can just kind of
spray pellets their way and it'll be
okay needs to be properly loaded
Buckshot is the proper loading in a
shotgun not bird shot we're going to
talk about that in just a minute
although the FIB set does work here and
these guys are going to Bubba bug off
fudge I'm being shot at that's kind of a
big deal and also notice here on our
second shot people ask well gosh is this
Justified conduct look the guy's
component the gun back at him yes I
think it is Justified conduct and though
you have to worry about the fact that
when you're shooting at you know through
glass like he is right here especially
at an angle on the glass that's going to
deflect your shot pattern a significant
amount and so can you can you really
plan for that no not necessarily but
maybe to aim a little bit towards it so
then that way you know that it's going
to kind of deflect towards the
horizontal there and why it's going to
do that so then that way it kind of goes
that route and you get hit now I want to
recognize as well again at these
distances look at how far out they are
10 12 yards still a threat absolutely
good buck shot is key and you really
need to know what the patterning is of
your shotgun with your Buckshot at what
distances that you might be firing
because every shotgun is a special
snowflake so hear me you can go over on
active cell protection extra we have
plenty of lessons on shotgun skills over
there patterning shotguns and those
kinds of things I think it's a powerful
tool and look at how well it worked here
one shotgun against four guys two
pistols and it absolutely worked as a
fight stopper and got this guy at the
end he did live through it but he was
hit bad enough that he is going to kind
of lay down out there in the street and
just kind of you know uh forget that he
wanted to hurt people and regret his
life choices and that's that's a good
thing owners did a great job here as
well of not chasing I can't say enough
don't chase a fleeing felon these guys
didn't good for them this owner covered
his ass
