friends hear me negotiations with people
with everyone's got guns out that's for
Hollywood not for real life
self-defense hi everyone welcome to
today's lesson here at active self-
protection I'm your host John Korea
today's video comes to us from the
province of free state in South Africa
today's video was brought to us by

effective efficient and fun go check
them out pick up a unit and thank them
for sponsoring today's video kind of a
normal day at what looks like a liquor
store to me you see the employees behind
the counter whatever and then the the
gal who's standing at the counter kind
of hits a panic button gets out of the
way dude behind the desk draws a gun and
you can see there's a per with a gun in
the lower left and he's like having a a
standoff with him a guy outside takes a
shot at him takes another one at him and
he doesn't fire his firearm one time
sits down there and you can see him
still kind of turning his head and kind
of involved and seeing what's going on
still still has the gun in his hand
until we see a shot there another one
there from the robber that takes
advantage of him I'm going to let this
continue to play because you're going to
see these guys here just speed it up for
the sake of time continue on in their
robbery and and you're going to watch
them come back on screen here in a
second sit this one guy down who just
gets a beer out and is like okay I'm
just going to chill and then they're
literally going to loot the body here
and start putting this guy's stuff in
you know their pockets and take all of
their robbery loot that they possibly
could want That's how little they care
for the life that they just took they're
going to continue their robbery after
committing a murder uh I didn't have a
news story on this one I I had a couple
of links to some Twitter stuff that
happened on this but no effective news
story so if you have one put it in a
comment so that I can add it to the
descript destion please hey Friends
check it out fresh merch we got rid of
our merch company and we just decided to
do it ourselves cuz we wanted to have
cool stuff check it out the brand new
ASP logo T-shirt If you go look uh one
of our fans made the ASP logo using the
words good Sayan sober moral prudent
it's super cool you can get one on our
website the prices are good and the
proceeds partially benefit charity so go
pick one up a normal day at this store
and I love that the guy sitting at the
desk has has his firearm on him yes
carry your firearm if you possibly can
but not just carry your firearm
understand the mindset that it takes be
willing and ready to use it to defend
yourself and the people that you love
around you that is most key but clearly
yes if it all possible have your firearm
on your person but recognize that if you
do you got to be ready to use it that's
probably the single biggest thing here
that takes great emotional Fitness now
as the action kind of begins here what I
want to see is what happens to start
everything going you see this clerk kind
of reach under and grab what my guess is
here I'm guessing she grabbed the panic
button cuz she kind of turned her hand
over like that to push what's underneath
okay fine I think Panic buttons can be
useful to get the cops on the way but
recognize they are not going to stop an
armed robber for the most part they may
stop the most skittish ones but the ones
that you're actually worried about they
won't stop they'll continue to do what
they want so that's not a very effective
strategy of self-defense now now our guy
with the gun here our our victim in an
overall sense finally is going to get to
see what's going on here and this is the
place that he starts to see what's
happening this is kind of his visual
ghost signal you can see he has his
phone up to his head because he was just
you know starting to make a phone call
there and he's just starting to to make
a move like he's going to go get his
Firearms so this is the point where we
start saying hey a fast accurate
reliable draw and fire and hit somebody
who's pointing a gun at you is the
number one thing in a gunfight and yes
having the physical speed and and
Technical skill is critically important
but the decision-making piece is so much
more important because it's going to
happen here he gets his gun out and in
hand in about right at two seconds so
about two seconds in he has a gun in his
hand so that's kind of the National
Standard of a conceal carrier you could
see the blur in the lower left corner
there that's one of the perss that has a
gun pointed at him and a couple things
number one our our our victim here still
has his phone to his head if you have a
gun in your hand put the phone down 100%
I don't want anything to do with that
phone two hands on the gun and you are
in a gunfight number two you have to
have the emotional Fitness that says
that guy's pointing a gun at me I don't
have time to [ __ ] foot around here I
have to get something done but instead
what our dude does is starts kind of
pointing and having almost this kind of
The Good the Bad and the Ugly thing
until this dude shoots at him and and I
don't understand where his emotional
Fitness failed him here that the per
who's on the other side of the the fence
there the other side of the counter
actually shot his gun at him and our guy
still didn't shoot back and and if you
don't have the capability to use the
firearm please don't carry one because I
don't know what would have happen here
had he not had a gun on him or not drawn
the gun he might have lived so he had
plenty of opportunity here but he didn't
take the the opportunity because he
didn't have the emotional Fitness to
this is the shot that finally gets him
here and at least starts the demise that
he has here because he's so far behind
so this is one of the reasons that we
visualize what's going on man you got
multiple armed guys you you start
working those boarding housee rules and
your biggest deal here is to get shots
on target two hands on the gun and and
know your task and be willing to go to
work this guy wasn't willing to go to
work and so he gets shot now the next
part of emotional Fitness is okay now
you're shot you got to stay in the fight
these guys are willing to kill you you
are the only person who can be the agent
in your own rescue and instead he kind
of sits down and continues to look
around and and I just don't know what's
going on here so how do we work on
emotional Fitness number one we do hard
things I think sometimes that's that's
simply as stuff like you know you train
in self-defense you know you go on the
mats and do some rolls and get your butt
kicked or or you do hard things you do
hard workouts or whatever um you know
you go through difficult times and you
make it through you you do hard stuff in
education or at job or whatever and you
tough through that stuff and that builds
your emotional Fitness to stay in there
when you face adversity and
unfortunately this guy just do doesn't
appear to have any of that even though
those bad guys are still hunting him and
and he kind of plays rabbit here instead
of Hunter and just Waits and because he
plays rabbit instead of Hunter this guy
just I he just straight up takes his
life and and and commits murder I mean
there's just nothing else to St here
that this is what this is and it's
coldblooded as well so so listen this is
a a marker one of the reasons that I say
make sure you are the Hunter and not the
rabbit in these kinds of situations is
that never ends well for the rabbit is
is what we see from time to time so so I
I really say again that emotional
Fitness Super
of course the spiritual Fitness aspect
incredibly important as well you need to
wake up every morning making sure that
you've said everything you need to say
to your loved ones making sure that
you've handled every conflict that you
possibly can making sure that that you
know they know that you love them and
that you and Jesus have a strong
relationship because you'll need it on
that final day of your life and if you
you know you're like this you may not
have time to get it so make sure that
you get it today I also think one final
thing that I want to say here is this is
just the coldblooded evil that some
perpetrators are and I know plenty of
people who say well you know armed
robbers aren't really looking to harm
anybody just give them the stuff or
whatever but what we see here is we see
armed robbers that instead of running
off oh we were going to threaten their
life but we weren't going to take it
they they aren't the the majority of
armed robbers or they aren't certainly
every armed robber and so you should
take that threat very seriously and do
what you need to do because these people
do not care for your life they literally
Place zero value on your life and you
must be the one to cover your asp
