just because you put a round in a bad
guy don't expect him to stop doing what
he was doing
[Music]
welcome to today's lesson here at active
self protection i'm your host john korea
today's video comes to us from fort
wayne indiana big tech's outdoors has
holsters accessories
optics and other parts that you need as
a self-defender
i'm one of his customers and i recommend
him highly
check out the page on our website with
our favorite deals go read the news
story that i've linked in the
description you can see
our armed robber right next to the pole
in the middle of the screen who's
actually approaching this car and
robbing them apparently guy was walking
down the street earlier
and this is just a group of friends but
they have an ar-15 pistol in the car now
again everything the news story has said
so that they have no existing prior
relationship
so dude's going to come up and start
robbing them and the young man's going
to grab that ar pistol
out of the passenger seat strafe over
and get a couple shots on the guy one of
those shots hit him
in the leg but it does not completely
take him out of the fight
we see our good guy here is going to
keep moving around here keep taking some
shots looking for an opportunity so
again back and forth with our bad guy
gonna kind of
focus on the bad guy for a minute here
you can see him wobbling he's got the
stanky leg here
from being hit with a 2-2-3 to the leg
now i don't know how long the barrel was
on this ar-15 pistol
it is an ar-15 pistol legally owned by
the defender here and the bad guy has a
glock 23 with a stendo in it that is
reported stolen in 2018
and he's a convicted felon so he's a
prohibited possessor um and obviously
you know an armed robber at the same
time so you know the king of all
scumbags and we get that you're going to
see him
bring the gun up and continue to have a
gun fight with our defender which is
really rare and you can see our defender
here now backed up in time just a little
bit
put a few shots his way and kind of look
around and look for opportunities and
it's interesting to me
that the police actually lauded this guy
because he was communicating with the
the
two women who were in the car and
telling them where to go whether to get
out or stay depending on where the bad
guy was
bad guy is taking shots here and our
good guy who is going to take
a couple of shots back and if you go
read the news story that i have linked
in the description several of them
uh you know our good guy here got away
without any injuries in fact
nobody was injured except the bad guy
cops found him a little ways down the
road
with a gunshot wound to the leg and
found the gun
and the mask and all that stuff that he
used he is
obviously going to go to prison for an
awful long time for all of this
uh the guy with the ar pistol that was
legal self-defense in every capacity so
he's not facing any charges of course
bad guy was the only one injured and
that is where this one
ends pretty amazing how resilient the
human body is if you want kind of behind
the scenes stuff at active self
protection
join us on our instagram just look at me
up on instagram
to active self-protection hit that
follow button and see me kind of trying
to live the life and
do the things that a self-defender does
and put some feet to what i talk about
here on the channel all the time join me
over there will you
first of all notice that our bad guy has
decided this is where he is going to set
up
an armed robbery why i don't know why he
decided on this one but the bad guy gets
to set the time in place of the attack
not us so we need to be ready to protect
ourselves at all times
and i think it's great that our defender
here actually had a firearm with him now
an ar-15 pistol
in the car i'm not so sure that's the
best choice i'd prefer probably to have
a handgun on your person
uh just so it's more accessible to you
but it worked in this case we're gonna
give him full credit for that
now our bad guy then shows up to the
driver's door starts robbing these folks
and i want you to notice that our good
guy here got his pistol ar-15 pistol
out and up so again what tool are you
gonna use and do you have this
the capability to use it do you have the
skill to use it so it's not just
attitude skills
and plan as well and he is going to
strafe left to get a good shot
on the bad guy okay fine he's got one
here five
or six yards away but of course we see
what happened here number one
i want you to have the marksmanship
skills that if you're going to use a
long gun
it takes skill you even at five or six
yards people go wait a minute how could
you miss it those kinds of distances
if you don't have disciplined skill set
you can miss it those distances as well
or hit in an ancillary place like the
leg and therefore not get the kind of
fight stopping hit that you want number
two
you gotta know you gotta stay after a
bad guy until he's done fighting so
not just one shot at him but it could
have taken five six seven shots in fact
most places that i know now with you
know cqb stuff they recommend
five to seven shots with an ar15 as an
initial
you know uh response to a deadly threat
finally i don't know what barrel length
he had in his ar15 pistol but some of
them have very short barrels with a 223
cartridge we want at least 10 and a half
inches of barrel length
in order to keep the muzzle velocity
over uh 2500 feet per second for
hydrostatic shock
didn't get that in this instance so
again he didn't realize that his first
shot was his best shot so he got one
shot in the guy's leg and then
missed so guys you've got to have the
discipline to say no it's time for me to
go i'm gonna see my sights
press my trigger put it on the bad guy
and put multiple shots in him until
he is done fighting the fact of the
matter is he had a hard time with that
here i get it it's stressful you know
things are a little bit crazy
but your first shot's your best shot and
because of that he is now forced into a
significant gunfight with a guy who
actually has quite a bit
of fight in him i want you to notice a
couple things here notice that our good
guy and i think this kid
has got great heart but notice that he's
got his gun way below his
line of sight and he's not really doing
a good job of using the sighting system
quite frankly the the video quality is
so poor i don't even know if he has
sights on his pistol as ar15 here but
you need to have a sighting system on
your ar-15
and it needs to be useful i would
strongly recommend either a red dot
sight or a low power variable optic i
like lpvo but you know a red dot sight
on an ar pistol is a great idea too
something that you can put the dot on
the bad guy and then put the biscuit in
the basket
okay notice here that our bad guy is
still fighting as well he's injured but
he's still
in the fight and so you've got to go
after a bad guy until he's done fighting
now this is very rare i almost
never see this in fact this is very
unique that injured he's not running off
that he's staying in the fight and even
though his gun is not functioning
correctly he's trying to clear a
malfunction
he gets the gun back in the fight and
gets more shots
on the the good people and actually uses
that gas pump there as a stabilizing
brace
in order to hold himself up so normally
bad guys run off once their force
monopoly has been uh you know evacuated
but doesn't happen in this particular
instance so you got to be willing to
fight
even after the bad guy is hurt so you
got to incapacitate him as what you got
to do
not just shoot him so notice this with
our good guy and we see it again
notice that he's not really accessing
his sights but he is moving well and
doing some things that i really like
first thing that i really like is he's
not staying put
in one particular place as pat mcnamara
says people are pre-programmed to pick
up patterns of predictability
so instead of just popping up in the
same place and playing whack-a-mole with
the guy
he moves over to the other side of the
car to give himself a different angle
and hopefully be the hunter and not the
rabbit
in these kinds of games you don't want
to be the rabbit you want to be the
hunter you want to put yourself in a
better position
and take the fight to the guy and if
your skill set is very high
in other words you know that proximity
negates skill
but i have the rifle he has the pistol
i'm a better shot than he is
i'm gonna put this guy down the first
time i have the opportunity if you're
confident
and competent in those then you can do
these things and be again the hunter and
not the rabbit i also like the fact
that in this case our defender backed
off the car a little bit i see people
hug cover all the time
they snuggle right up to the car and and
in this case he took a good solid step
back which gave him a little better
vantage point and i really like that
that's a good tactic as well
and then he's going to try to to get the
heck out of the danger zone and i notice
here
that when he made that determination
that i'm going to go to get away from
him that he doesn't kind of crab walk he
makes a commitment to move
so when we talk about moving and
shooting shooting and moving that our
good guy here when he decided i need to
get over to that other position he
didn't kind of halfway it and maintain
looking at the bad guy
he moved with vigor he ran hard to get
to that place
then you can reestablish and shoot as
you need to but when it's time to move
move and move hard turn your feet in
that direction and our good guy did a
really good job of that here
now we can see here again our bad guy is
limping off
but still in the fight now i will say
this the first person to put a shot in
the other guy
almost always wins the fight and that's
what happened here he did drive the
armed robber off in this particular
instance
and even that leg shot did some damage
to him but i'm gonna
just about guarantee you that he
probably had a very short barrel on his
ar-15 here and probably
didn't get the kind of hydrostatic shock
that he wanted so again
one final reminder if i put a 2-2-3 even
in somebody's leg
and it's got enough velocity the
hydrostatic shock of a rifle round
would probably have turned that bone in
his leg into jello and so
my guess is again too short and instead
he just has an ice pick that has pushed
through him so
if you're going to keep an ar-15 i can't
tell you enough a 10 and a half inch
barrel or more make sure you've got a
good sighting system and the skill to
use it effectively to put that guy down
quick as you seek to cover your asp
