one of the reasons i say never to trust
a robber who's pointing a gun at you is
they don't know how to handle them
safely

welcome to today's lesson on active
self-protection i'm your host john korea
today's video comes to us from sun and
gill village in south africa
everyone should have a less lethal tool
on their person in this day and age and
the one that i
carry give to my family and recommend to
everyone
is palm oc hit the link in the
description and you can get one for you
and yours as well
so these guys are just having lunch one
of them apparently has a rolex on his
wrist that he has
worn around town when this guy comes in
chambers a gun starts threatening them
all for their watch and you see he's got
a partner at the bottom of the screen
that threatens everybody as well so they
are all going to get down and it's a guy
in the white on the right-hand side who
has the nice watch
and you're going to see they're all
putting their phones up whatever so his
buddy is deciding he's going to get all
those
too but they're going to shake these
guys down start grabbing all their stuff
and have a negligent discharge there the
bad guys ran off apparently thankfully
nobody was hurt in this instance
they lost a number of phones to the
rolex watch and some wallets
oh spicy stuff here if you want to get
better as a self-defender i
invite you to join us in our monthly
online seminars
recently we have been doing a six-month
series on legal and moral self-defense
and i'd invite you to join us for that
there's a link in the description
where you can sign up and join us so i'm
not going to tell you not to have nice
things i'm not going to tell you not to
have a rolex or anything like that but i
am going to say
if you have conspicuous displays of
wealth that can be anything from the
latest cell phone
to a coach purse to really high-end
clothes
then sometimes that will put you in a
place where a bad guy says hey that is a
valuable item and i want to take it and
if you're going to do that
you better recognize it does increase
your likelihood of
being targeted for violence and you
better be prepared for that
okay fine so again choose your stuff you
know however you'd like in that
now then these guys are just chilling
doing their thing and just not expecting
a normal day and i do want you to notice
here that our bad guy then grabs his gun
and his introduction to everybody is
chambering the firearm i see that with
bad guys
on a pretty regular basis that attackers
use that chambering
in order to say hey i'm serious and a
couple things number one
that tells you that likely that gun is
in a deliverable fashion now and number
two
that he has a gun out and so okay fine
but you can use that as a self-defender
to recognize oh okay
is this gun in moving and working
condition or not chances are good if he
does it probably is
now then you see everybody kind of get
down get away whatever but notice that
there is a second bad guy and when we
have multiple attackers
i just want you to recognize if you're
going to be a self-defender every time
you add an additional attacker it
multiplies you know by an order of
magnitude the difficulty of the
self-defense task
especially too with guns out here so if
you're going to draw your firearm and go
to work on these guys
remember there is always a trailing
accomplice or you should at least assume
there is a trailing accomplice
because we see them in about a third of
all attacks on the channel and you
should be ready for that
and it might be in that case to not
actually launch your counter ambush
until you've seen whether there is one
or not now then
you see all these guys that are that are
getting um you know put down on the
ground whatever he's going to grab
all their stuff this that and the other
thing okay fine and this is normal but i
want you to notice on the right hand
side here
that our um our victim has the one who
has the rolex watch and he's just taken
that watch off of his wrist gotten low
the guy says hey i want your rolex okay
fine man you can have it you can see
that down there in the lower right there
are bad guys grabbing that rolex and
going
sometimes compliance is the right answer
guys sometimes it's just best to just
give him what he wants
and see if he'll get the heck out of
there that did happen here but of course
we got one more thing we really got to
think about is that our bad guy went to
go grab
a phone with the hand with a gun in it
and because of that
he has a negligent discharge so number
one never expect a felon to be safe with
a firearm never expect them to follow
the rules of firearm safety because they
simply don't
and that being the case recognized that
again he had chambered around that made
that gun
alive and active gun and uh he handled
it poorly and because of that he had a
negligent discharge number two let's
remember as good same sober moral people
that we don't do stuff like that that we
always keep firearms pointed in a safe
direction we always keep our finger
high and on the slide until we have made
a conscious decision to fire
and uh those are our two rules that we
go with every minute of every day
to make sure that we are safe with a
firearm thankfully nobody was hurt in
this instance
certain lessons out of this one as we
seek to cover our asp
