straight up friends the response to road
rage is almost
never ever to draw your own firearm
[Music]
hi everybody welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection today
florida man strikes again out of orlando
if you use an ar-15 for home defense you
need to practice with your trigger and
your sights the mantis blackbeard allows
you to do that
much more effectively it's a drop in
bolt carrier group and magazine that
works with your trigger and your sights
and your rifle
to give you real-time feedback and reset
your trigger up to 10 times a second
i use it all the time to be more
proficient as a carbine shooter and i
recommend it highly
guyanese pickup is going to
inadvertently here cut off the guy
in the nissan and that's going to make
for some trouble so he's going to drive
down the road a little farther it's
going to escalate
we have audio from the dash cam
oh
dude
crazy
oh [ __ ]
no don't do that
this guy gave this video to the state
patrol
they have not found the other guy no
charges filed as far as i know but boy
do we have a lot of lessons out of this
one to think about
good gracious please listen to me if you
are not following our second youtube
channel active self protection extra
please go subscribe to that channel i've
put a link in the description so then
that way at the very least you can watch
every friday where we talk about john's
briefs
we do legal and moral discussions of the
use of force so you stay out of crap
like this
please come sub over on aspextra so
first of all these kinds of things can
happen to anybody right you're like
getting over whatever this guy almost
cut you off or whatever but the solution
to this
is de-escalation escape and invasion
just a simple
wave out the window hey man sorry about
that and if the dude you know decides to
rev up close to you or whatever and get
mad and flip you the bird
just a wave hey man sorry about that
whatever goes a long way and can avoid
so many problems in these instances and
of course as self-defenders and as
concealed carriers
we have to do that de-escalate escape
and evade gun on ego off
now the next thing here you do not have
to accept
every fight invitation that you're
offered dude decides he wants to cut you
off
again and pay you back for it fine let
him just let it go
i want you to notice here that our
defender is driving along at 69 miles an
hour i don't know what the speed limit
is here but that's probably a reasonable
improvement speed
and so let the guy go cool guy cut me
off showed me a thing or two fine you
win buddy
you're right my bad i don't want to have
a fight again control your own ego
that's the biggest lesson out of this
one by far let him go
but that's not what happens as he
decides no i'm going to start speeding
up here and get in behind this guy
and getting after him here and so if you
notice his speed is going up
significantly now he's at 86
87 miles an hour and now the guy decides
to show a gun
so so he is you know backing off now
he's going to pull over because our guy
has caught up to him
and he is going to show him a gun now is
that aggravated assault
absolutely it certainly is brandishing a
firearm pointing a fireman somebody in
order to create a fear in them that you
can do them
deadly harm that is the definition of
aggravated assault so would deadly force
be justified in this moment i think it
certainly would but that doesn't make it
smart again this is an avoidable
conflict
and i want us all to avoid every
conflict that we possibly can driving
down the road at 95 miles an hour 97
miles an hour is not smart here
that is precipitating the conflict even
more now do want you to notice as he
comes back around we're doing a hundred
miles an hour down the road right now
and again we can avoid this conflict
entirely what was the better solution
here than getting into this kind of a
fight with the guy the better solution
here
is to hit the brakes get off at the next
exit let the guy go
and then carry on with your business
that is the better answer or
get his license plate when he got in
front of you let him go call the cops
tell him that he pointed a gun at you
you've got it on your dash cam that was
the better answer here than getting in a
fight with the guy
now he's pointing the gun out the window
right here very clear and easy to see
so again is this guy a deadly threat
the answer is he's he is committing a
crime here for sure he deserves to be
charged here for sure
i certainly hope that the police would
would look up his license plate number
and try to go find the guy but that's
irrelevant to the self-defense lessons
the self-defender here much more smartly
would back the heck out of there
again utilize the nearest exit available
heck even using the
grass you know turnabouts there and
using the grass median and just getting
the heck out of there
rather than shooting through the
windshield shooting through the
windshield really stupid because you
don't know where those bullets are going
because the the windshield glass does
crazy things to bullets now
a couple other things here if you think
that this is a good idea that uh oh i
think that i'm going to have a problem
and so i'm going to stage my firearm
draw
i think is a really bad idea and also if
you're gonna draw an
appendix carry gun from a seated
position you need to kick your hips
forward a long way
because the problem as soon as you get
that gun in your hand if you don't do
that
you do run the risk here of pointing a
gun at your meaty bits and i think he
did that here and we always want to
practice safe firearms handling
again appendix carry can be done safely
without any of those problems but he's
not doing that here also
you're like hey i need to get a gun out
so that i can shoot this guy you're
thinking of the wrong thing you're the
driver of the car
get the heck off the road and get away
from him is the right thing
so at some point he was doing 101 miles
an hour and here's what i want you to
notice
he is driving down the road at 96 miles
an hour he has no hands on the wheel
he is shooting with his eyes closed he
did not you know
shoot the gun and then blink he closed
his eyes and then shot the gun
and again the bullet uh is going to pass
through that window glass and you have
no idea where it's going because of the
curvature of that window glass
that that we see this again and again
windshields do crazy things to bullets
you have no idea where that's bullet is
going until you shoot a porthole
and his next shot here same thing takes
a shot with his eyes closed why
if you've never shot inside of a car you
know out of the car
you get a significant amount of flying
glass back in the car
and so you're not gonna be able to see a
darn thing driving 93 miles an hour down
the road
shooting with his eyes closed this is
stupid in the extreme
far better here again if you had any
understanding of how to shoot a porthole
in a window
because you really needed to do that and
that was the only chance that you had
and the only thing you could do in order
to protect your life okay fine but he
had so many other options here his
preclusion
is significant problems and once again
he's not hitting anything with these
shots and they are coming down
somewhere so i really want you to think
about this guys
don't do stupid stuff like this if
you're a concealed carrier i want you to
be the good
sane sober moral prudent person and i
want you to
not escalate conflicts i don't want you
to use your firearm when you don't
absolutely have to
that maybe he was justified he could use
his firearm here
but should he use his firearm no and
must he use his firearm
i think significantly no so don't
precipitate fights like this don't chase
dudes down the highway at 100 miles an
hour
don't get out your concealed carry gun
while you're the driver of the car
certainly don't shoot while you're
driving 100 miles an hour down the road
with no hands on the wheels this is dumb
thank god nobody got hurt in this
particular one
but let's be smarter than this as we
seek to cover our asp
