today we get to see a group of motor
robbers who get away with it and then
don't
i'm your host john correa and i welcome
you to today's lesson here at active
self protection it comes to us from sao
paulo in brazil luckygunner.com works
hard to stock ammo to ship today and
take care of their customers they've
stood by us all in this ammo crisis and
earned my business time and time again
they ship immediately often same day so
give them your next ammo order this is a
gang of a couple of motorcycle thieves
two dudes riding on a moto in brazil is
an attack and you see this guy here he's
gonna take the wallet from this lady and
her phone her purse and just rolls up on
the back of a moto grabs their stuff and
they've got two motos full of bad guys
here we see a second time where this
same group of guys is going to chase a
motorist down point a gun at them get
them to stop and then they're going to
get everybody out and shake them down
the funny part to me here is they're not
even going to steal their car this get
them out of their car take all their
stuff and then
you know ride off on their moto after
they've got all their things they're
going to get a third person here where
on the left-hand side you see this lady
in the suv but a couple of cars in front
of her is an off-duty brazilian cop so
we're going to see them shaking this
lady down just again carrying on all in
the same day apparently but you're going
to see our guy in the moto here kind of
turn around and start heading the other
way dude starts firing at him why well
because there's a cop firing his way as
well so we don't get to see the actual
gunfight from the end user's perspective
but we actually have a little bit of
cell phone footage here as well and you
can see that motorcyclist down taking
the speed bump temperature challenge
there one of our perps was definitely
hit by our good guy in that case
and you're gonna see him now you can
just barely see him standing at the
woman's car who was being carjacked in
that last one checking in on her another
view there of our perp they got one of
them our officer did the other one ran
off and they're still looking for him
but at least he stopped him for the day
see our officer gonna run back to his
car i think get his cell phone out of it
so that he can call it in and we're
going to think about lessons lots to
think about out of this one do you want
to get better as a self-defender go over
to our second channel active self
protection extra and join us over there
eight videos a week to help you be
better as a self-defender first things
first on this one if you don't have
attitude skills and plan your thing to
do here is just to comply and that's
exactly what she did complied okay man
take my stuff whatever you're pointing a
gun at me fine whatever take the stuff
so sometimes that's the only answer you
have of course though paying attention
to your surroundings getting out of
there not hanging out in transitional
space is all valuable lessons here
second thing i think here notice that
he's pointing a gun at him and i think
that there was a possibility on this
particular one if you're the driver here
and you go oh no we're in real trouble
you might have used the car turn hard
into these guys knock them off their
bike and then speed out of there as fast
as you can of course though you got two
motors and they're both pointing guns at
you so we see this very commonly
in central and south america very
commonly in the caribbean as well that
you see these guys you know two dudes on
a moto is a prelude to an armed robbery
very commonly in those areas so again
compliance may very well have been the
best option or may have been the only
option here as a matter of fact
although you know again if you had a
vehicle if you were armed yourself there
are plenty of other things but these
people don't have any of that so okay
man here's all the stuff don't hurt us
take take the car and go from there
don't love it but that is what it is in
some of those situations now these guys
are our thugs and they're going to keep
doing what they're doing but i want you
to notice that here is where our good
guy's car is so he is actually about
three car lengths away around 20 to 25
yards from these guys because there's
space in between the cars so you're
about three full car lengths plus the
space between them he's got some
distance here and he decides okay i'm
gonna step in i want you to think about
that as well am i willing to step into a
third-party encounter like this or is my
best bet just to drive off just to get
the heck out of the danger zone you've
got to decide that for yourself
i do want you to recognize a couple
things that if you decide to get
involved just like we see here the bad
guy might start firing at you this
involves a non-zero risk so if you're
going to step into a third party
encounter you better have talked that
over with your loved ones you better
have gotten the agreement from your
friends and family that they are okay
with you taking that kind of risk that
they will then have to deal with the
consequences of because you might well
be dead the number two thing here is
that you better have a high level of
confidence in your skills at this
distance and then probably one of the
biggest things you've got to have is to
say buddy you're not going to hit me at
this kind of distance probably but i'm
absolutely going to hit you i'm going to
get hits on you and put you down quickly
and you can only do that if you've done
it again and again and again and you've
got that kind of skill on demand that
you know that that you can bring all the
skill that you currently possess on
demand to that task at hand as my friend
brian hill says now let's talk about
follow-ups we really want to talk about
follow-ups here and you know that that
we learned from
i got it from the legendary lawman chuck
haggart his follow-up paradigm that i've
kind of made a little acronym for and it
is tap ifs so then we look threat down
is t a is accomplices do i need to shoot
the threat again did he bring any
accomplices to the fight p is a partner
this guy doesn't have any partners so
we're not going to mess with that
but then then i started asking partners
and or people so is any are any innocent
people hurting now then we move on to
ifs so the next thing i do is am i
injured or is anybody else injured
around me then look at my firearm is my
firearm in working condition do i you
know do i still have any rounds in the
gun am i okay there then f take
appropriate follow-up actions do i need
to do first aid do i need to get to a
safer location what else do i need to do
to make us safer here and then s is seek
help make sure then that you call it in
and get some help so tap ifs you can
just put that in your mind drill it a
little bit and it will help you in that
follow-up mode when you are highly
adrenalized to think where am i in my
follow-up actions here then what do i
need to do and when they are emergency
actions like that and then and we go
okay now i can think about where i am in
those we can do good i think this
officer did a great job his skills were
high he put that guy down stopped the
gang of robbers who were robbing
everyone and handled his business well
let's make sure that we follow up
appropriately as we cover our asp
