my big advice don't play traffic police
the world over because people are morons
and will road rage
i'm john correa your host here at active
self protection and i welcome you to
today's lesson it comes to us from
romania big tex ordnance is my go-to
source for accessories for all your
defensive and competition firearms they
have great holsters with accessories for
concealment and ship fast at great
prices i'm a proud customer and
recommend them without hesitation our
driver is driving down this road that
has significant construction you see
this guy and the red beamer come up and
he gets frustrated that our driver
doesn't get out of his way fast enough
and i think makes him go over on the
gravel more and he's gonna take that as
a personal offense here now watch what
happens as our driver kind of speeds off
and and he has sped up the original a
little bit here and i'm just gonna let
it play and watch
how long this guy in the bmw drives in
reverse
to get behind our driver now i think
what happens here is he's gonna get to
that fork in the road saw our driver go
the one way and then get his car turned
around so so this is sped up just for
the sake of time here and you can watch
now that beamer come up over the road
and come at him at high speed and again
this is just a little two-lane roads in
the countryside now watch our dude come
up here and pass hard so he's going to
get around him and now he's going to
want to have a little break check and
and want to have a discussion and as our
dude goes by now he's going to get in
behind him again because he can't pass
that quickly and now our guy is going to
try to keep him from passing by blame
blocking him basically and that is gonna
frustrate our driver even more so now
he's gonna stick his head out the window
with a gun in his hand and start
threatening with a firearm and trying to
come up alongside and oh okay cool man
i've got a gun and i'm gonna point it at
you now again our our driver lets him
get by at this point so now our dude is
gonna stop in front of him and now watch
our driver's gonna get it in reverse
and start backing up down the road but
he's gonna take his time while the
driver climbs out the passenger side and
and jumps out of the car on that side
and then gets back in the car and now
again our driver here is kind of
moseying on and taking his time he's
going to stop at that point and go okay
well maybe i'll come back around the
front here and go back towards this guy
who's just pointed a gun at me and now
our dude is going to make the longest 47
point turn that i may have ever seen
recorded on camera and and watch him now
he's going to recognize who our driver
is as he finally finishes his 47 point
turn here and he's going to turn in on
him in just a second so you're gonna see
her driver kind of finally make his way
around i really don't know if he was
deciding at that point if he was just
going to stop traffic or whatever but
instead he is gonna drive up on our
driver and and block him off in traffic
but when he does look at what happens is
a magazine of his firearm comes out
while he is threatening with it and it
is that moment that he knew that he had
done messed up and so watch what goes
down now again he's in that car all by
himself so now our dude's gonna our
driver's gonna back up some more and
this guy is going to climb out of the
driver's side window bo duke style
and jump out and retrieve his forgotten
magazine and you can see him here jump
out of the car again
like he's a member of the duke brothers
like
i i have nothing and recover his
magazine i it's just truth is stranger
than fiction friends don't even know
what to tell you about this one so now
our dude is gonna get you know keep
backing up but he's not gonna be able to
back up faster than the guy in the bmw
can come after him and so now our homie
in the bmw is gonna come up on him one
last time before it cuts off if you go
read the news story it says that they
ended up catching this doofus and he is
facing significant charges for
brandishing and uh thankfully our victim
was not harmed all right question for
you out of today's video does watching
these kinds of incidents make you more
defensive and more forgiving as a driver
does it make you chill out on this stuff
i hope it does but i want to hear from
you first thing i want to talk about on
this one is how ridiculously personal
some people take driving stuff and and
listen i say all the time in my own
personal life that driving tests my
discipleship and my commitment to
de-escalation escape and evasion but you
should as well friends join me in doing
that and being a good saint sober moral
prudent person because otherwise road
rage like this happens and this kind of
road rage literally ends lives every day
around the world and people take stuff
like this ridiculously personally so be
the good driver you know this could
maybe have been avoided the whole thing
with a little wave out the window a
little hey man sorry about that or
something like that might have helped in
the moment now i've sped this up for the
sake of time and and again you recognize
this is this guy is going to road rage
man at some point you got to go no i'm
going to disregard the constabulary here
and get out of here at high speed
because that guy now i'm gonna tell you
if he wants to chase you down probably
you're not gonna outrun a guy in an m5
like this or you know or a five series
bmw like this guy's in but you gotta get
yourself some space and i certainly
would be on the phone with uh you know
local emergency dispatch to get some
help my way of course recognizing the
fact that they may not get there in time
now i think that the lane block here was
not necessarily a bad idea but recognize
that is not going to de-escalate the
problem it's going to escalate it that
said this guy's already escalated it to
a very high level i'm talking about the
guy in the bmw with this so at some
point you got to recognize okay what's
going to happen here now for those of us
who carry firearms i can't tell you
enough do not brandish your firearm in
this kind of a situation what you want
to do instead leave the firearm in the
holster leave it in its location don't
show people guns because when you show
them a gun you're committing aggravated
assault you're committing the act of
brandishing in some places and that is a
crime often a felony and you'll go to
jail for a long time now what happens
here when this guy then points a gun at
you
well of course if you can't outrun him
he is now a deadly threat
would i recommend you then get your gun
out and start having a gun battle with
him no i still don't recommend that you
do that because your chances of hitting
him are almost nil use your vehicle and
in this particular case i mean if you
bump the front of his vehicle hard
enough you know you break check him hard
and he's not able to get on his brakes
fast enough you probably activate his uh
airbags and that will disable his
vehicle and you could do that probably
fairly easily that's something you might
consider there you bump his quarter
panel hard enough to to get his airbags
to deploy it'll disable his vehicle and
then you can run off as fast as you can
you've got them on dash cam here i think
this is a good um
advertisement for having a dash cam as
well because our driver here has this
evidence to give to the police now of
course it's not going to make you safe
right it's going to show what happened
but it doesn't make you any safer now in
this instance here guy's gotten out of
his car good get going the other way
literally as hard as you can you want to
get out of this situation don't loiter
here and certainly don't go back forward
i mean it's just a huge mistake when he
decides to go back towards somebody who
is angry at him has a gun and is
threatening with that gun that is a huge
tactical blundell tactical blunder
rather and and again he should have gone
out of there in the other direction as
hard and fast as he can disregarding the
laws to get away from this guy for his
safety so
going back in towards this guy huge
mistake because it re-entered the
conflict it gave this guy another
opportunity in order to have the kind of
problems that he did so when he finally
decides to come up here okay so yeah it
is kind of a bit of comedy that we see
him actually dump the magazine out of
his gun now that doesn't mean he doesn't
have one in the chamber though so i
don't know if he does or if he doesn't
but it could be very dangerous again to
get to a place and drive past this guy
okay fine
but what you might have done here if you
if you sit there for a second and see
what he's gonna do when he jumps out of
the car quite frankly ought to put him
under the tires of the car because this
guy is threatening your life multiple
times with a gun or if he's got the
opportunity like our driver does here
get the reverse and get the heck out of
here because that guy jumping out of the
vehicle is going to grab his magazine
and put it back in the gun and because
our guy doesn't get away from him fast
enough he's able to then get back in the
car and catch up to him and have another
conflict so escape the situation
de-escalate escape and evade every
chance you can use your vehicle
effectively i wouldn't think that a ccw
is helpful in this situation so be
cautious using them as you try to cover
your asp
