if you time your disarm attempt wrong
man it is dangerous
hi everyone welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
host as always john korea i'm grateful
you've joined us today our video comes
to us out of houston texas
magtec is the only pistol or rifle ammo
i use on the range and i recommend them
highly i've seen their manufacturing and
quality control first hand and it's
incredible which is why it always
performs reliably and accurately they
are operating at max capacity and
cranking out rounds for you to keep your
skills sharp pick up some mag tech at
your local ammo retailer or get it
shipped fast at luckygunner.com so watch
this guy walk in i've sped up the
beginning for the sake of time and start
picking stuff and you know looking for
stuff in the store gonna take out some
money and then eventually here he's
gonna decide oh once the register is
open hey give me the money and he has
got a gun out and the clerk is gonna be
like alright dude whatever i'll give you
the money so now they're gonna get in
the process
of you know getting out of bag for him
and like give me all the stuff and if
you notice he's like pointing with his
gun he's like got the gun in his hand as
a pointing device to say hey put this
here and give me that and empty
everything into the sack and all that
stuff and oh there's some money
underneath that for sure and watch what
goes down here now in a second as he's
gonna kind of look away over just a
second here and see what's going on
she's gonna try to grab his gun
and he's able to pull it back from here
and she bashes him over the head with
some stuff from the counter so now he is
going to try to vacuum up as much money
as he can and run off she chases him for
a bit but he does get away that's where
it ends and we're gonna think about
lessons oh man what do you think should
she have done that or just let it go i'm
gonna end up working out for her so okay
fine success is a wonderful deodorant
but was she successful what do you think
leave me a comment we see an awful lot
of armed robbery start this way with the
bad guy hiding in the guise of a
customer very very common so what does
that mean for us as the good person well
our first inclination that something is
wrong is often going to be them pointing
a gun at us and the big thing we need to
do here one of the most important parts
to surviving in armed robbery is
purposeful compliance is you are looking
for a counter ambush opportunity and in
the interim from there you are fully
compliant so there are some things that
we'd say don't comply to being taken to
a second location
being tied up stuff like that but
generally comply with what they want
look for your opportunity to counter
ambush and i think that's exactly what
our clerk does here now when you're
going to start a
a disarm attempt if you're going to try
to take that gun away from the clerk uh
or from the crook rather the cl if
you're the clerk
then you've gotta practice the five d's
plus one and that means that you have to
cover the distance first that's a plus
one then deflect dominate distract
disarm and disable however i really
think it's preferable here if the clear
cut her own gun because then she's
looking for her counter ambush timing to
draw the gun and this guy's turning his
head many times and we'd have plenty of
opportunities if she had a 1.5 second
draw the first shot or faster to just
burn this guy down now instead though
she doesn't and this is where she
decides that she is going to launch her
counter ambush
on the one hand she did a really good
job in waiting for this guy to be
looking away from her he showed her his
ear which means he can't even hardly see
her in the periphery but she's gonna
make a big movement so he's gonna come
back around pretty quick and and have
some kind of reaction to that but number
two notice how far away her hands are
his you know he is kind of on completely
on his side of the counter and the gun
is kind of only at the edge of the
counter on his side so she's got to move
this big long distance and because of
that when she gets to the gun i want you
to notice that her arms are extended and
his arms arm is fairly close to himself
so the big deal here is generally
speaking in these kinds of disarms the
person with the shorter arms almost
always wins person whose arms are closer
to their body almost always wins which
is why you want to start from the right
distance so that you can get short arms
and get the bad guys arms long where you
have the leverage she didn't do that
here and because of that he is going to
be able then to pull that back in a way
like we see here and get her hands off
the gun because of course he's got the
gun by the holy ani part and she's got
it by the shooty part and that makes it
much harder for her so that's why this
disarm attempt failed practice this
stuff on the mats guys it is far easier
you know once you know kind of where
they are than not now i think it's funny
that she whacked him in the head i have
you know it's a little worrisome of
course because it's dangerous he could
have shot her at any time and and
thankfully he didn't didn't have the the
means to use that and internally and i'm
grateful for that also i would not
recommend running after a fleeing felon
say this all the time on the channel and
that means if a felon comes and they run
off you've already established dominance
in your space no sense in getting into a
second encounter getting into additional
danger where he might have accomplices
or things like that better off to
consolidate the dominance in the space
that you're in this gal got lucky on
this one did teach us some important
lessons about disarms to help us better
cover our asp
