if you have small children they 100%
need to be a part of your self-defense
plan welcome to today's active
self-protection lesson I'm your host
John Correa today's video comes to us
from just outside of Durban South Africa
they look professional protective cases
are waterproof shockproof and dust proof
there the cases I trust to protect my
valuables when traveling at this home
you see multiple cars and what you see
here is friends leaving for the night
there's been a big folks who you know
are saying good night and they're just
pulling their cars out a bunch of young
families you see on the very far left a
mom with a baby on her hip and what
happens is is when these nice cars
they're pulling out of the driveway some
dudes took that as an opportunity they
had rolled up and now that mom sees oh
no that guy has a rifle and when she
sees the guys are coming up with a rifle
she starts closing the gate and with the
baby in her hand the other dude gets out
to help her with that but the guy with
the rifle doesn't like it so he starts
taking shots at them so she's gonna run
off with the baby here now they're gonna
open the gate what you don't get to see
on video is them wrestling with the guy
who tried to help her and closed the
gate initially trying to get his cell
phone away from him but here you see the
guy with the rifle holding that gate
open while she's trying to close it
still holding the baby now the dogs are
just they're kind of barking and causing
chaos see one mom run off with a baby
see the two bad guys start running off
another mom running off with a baby and
our third mom our brave defender here
finally gets the gate closed starts
hollering for somebody to come and help
her lock that gate up the original guy
who had helped her before is going to
help her get the gate locked as well
nobody was harmed in this one they did
lose one cellphone and that is where
this one ends
mama bear did a pretty good job there do
you want to get better with your self
defense including talking some about
defending vulnerable populations join us
at the asp national conferences at the
end of september outside of Manhattan
Kansas details are in the description
fantastic weekend of training I'd really
love to see you there out of today's
video I want to think about planning
with your children in mind I also want
to talk about when the time to stand in
fight versus the time to get out of the
danger zone and the danger of multiple
attackers so this one is gonna be all
about defending with young children you
see mom here's got a baby on her hip and
that's a totally normal thing that you'd
expect when you're saying goodbye to
loved ones when they've come
for dinner or whatever but this is a
transitional space these people live in
gated communities for a reason
particularly in South Africa can be a
very dangerous place but in America and
everywhere else in the world as well we
see these kind of gated folks and they
do that because of security threats in
their neighborhood
now she notices oh no there's a guy with
a firearm here and she wants to take
defensive action well this is a great
reason I think to carry your firearm at
home very difficult for South Africans
to carry a firearm in public and get a
CCW but home defense is a slightly
different world so if you can't have a
firearm on your person especially if
you're taking people out to their cars
whatever you're going to be in these
transitional spaces I think that's a
great reason to home carry I certainly
do if I'm going to be out and about and
around the yard in my house and I
recommend that you do as well if at all
possible now notice that they are gonna
pull back in and she's gonna try to
close the gate now I'm gonna say
something here this may be a little
controversial to some folks but I would
strongly recommend you have somebody
that you know is it threat to you a
deadly threat to you because they're
coming after you and your loved ones
with a rifle in that case if you choose
to defend at that moment the first thing
to do is to use your thigh and your leg
and slide that baby down so that two
things happen number one that that baby
is not in the line of fire if he decides
to fire at you that's an incredibly
important thing it is part of the safety
of your child they may get a bruised
behind or even blonk their head but
that's far better secondly it lets you
move more quickly and third it lets you
use both hands so if you can and it's
not incredibly dangerous and deadly harm
to the child get that child put down as
quick as you can then go after the
action because you're gonna see this
lady has got this baby and a lot of
danger here particularly when the
gunshots start certainly at that moment
she is going to again hunker down and
protect her child I think would have
been better here had she been armed she
could have got that gun out and got
after that guy and instead of sitting
around and waiting and trying to close
the gate and taking that much time she
could have had that however she is going
to use her body to defend that child and
we see parents do that all the time
that's a natural instinct and a natural
inclination and I get that so thinking
about wait a minute what am I gonna do
with this child would I would a child
carrier be a better idea if their
toddler should I let him walk around
instead put them down on their feet and
get them away from me probably a better
thing now notice here that again that
didn't stop the gate didn't lock and so
she has to get back after it and
continue to try to get these guys away
knock
work in this instance doesn't end the
deadly threat so again getting rid of
the kids and and you're putting them
down whatever dogs don't help in this
instance most dogs are not trained for
protection they're just pets I get it
but thankfully these guys are not
killers are just looking for an easy
score and so no one is hurt
however they were an incredible deadly
threat and so you have to protect your
children and your family from that
deadly threat and let's think about this
ahead of time so I can't tell you enough
show this video to the parents of small
children think about if you're a self
defender how do you integrate your small
children into this how do you integrate
your vulnerable populations yes those
moms got their babies out and back in
the house and that's fine it was an
effective strategy in that it worked but
I think it was a sub optimal strategy so
think about home carry think about
getting that child out of your hands
think about acting in successful ways
and defending the right things as we
defend our loved ones and not our stuff
and cover our ass
