paying attention means looking for
things that are out of place in your
environment and today we see a total
failure to do that

so we can see this man who is unloading
his groceries there you see the white
car kind of pull in and just kind of
hang out there and he is waiting for the
lady who's going to get out and i don't
have a great news story on this one just
a little bit the raw that i've linked in
the description so if you've got a news
story let me know would you so his lady
gets out here and he's going to go
around the back dude's going to jump out
with a gun and so he is going to be like
hey man whatever you take whatever you
want put down his grocery sack i grabs
his phone right there and i think he's
going to grab her phone too you see a
second perp get out of the car uh the
the attacker's car and he's gonna shake
them down too my guess is you know maybe
they're grabbing wallets and those kinds
of things gotta go back to the victims a
second time here and then they're gonna
decide okay that's enough we just wanted
wallets and cell phones whatever and
they're not going to steal the car then
they're going to get in their car but
and drive off now what you're going to
see here you can't really see the
license plate at all because this was
filmed on a potato but notice there's
another car driving by
and now this couple is going to go over
to that car after a second after they're
kind of yelling down the road at the
guys and be like hey man those guys just
robbed us you wanna get their license
plate number or whatever they're gonna
talk that through for just a second when
that guy leaves at the very end we're
actually going to see a police car come
in chase him a little bit as well didn't
protect him though in the moment let's
think about lessons good gravy that one
is crazy did you know that there's still
time to join us at the active self
protection national conference three

this is 100 a transitional space and
remember we define transitional spaces
not in their architectural sense but in
their defensive sense it's any place
where attackers can attack with an
element of surprise that their valuables
present and the attackers can get away
quickly to you know escape the scene and
certainly here on the roadside when
you're getting in and out of your car
especially when you've been somewhere
retail establishment or whatever is
absolutely a transitional space where
attacks are more likely to happen and
you have to pay attention in those
spaces that's the big thing now when you
see that there's somebody coming in that
might be normal if you're used to seeing
that car or whatever but certainly pay
attention and our guy is actually paying
attention to them are they okay now of
course paying attention only benefits
you if it gives you a time to escape the
danger zone plan your defense or i guess
think about how you're emotionally going
to cope with being victimized so so
listen just seeing it and going ah well
man that's bad that could probably be
some attackers does you no good it gives
you time to plan a defense or to escape
now of course you got to think about
your spouse your significant other as
well who's in the car which is why i do
think all good people should be armed
because somebody pulls a gun on you put
yourself in a good place and you could
successfully defend against that attack
now i can't tell you enough your spouse
even if they are not a defender even if
they are not a mediating crime fighter
you need to talk about what are their
roles in a defensive situation what do
they do and how do they do it have an
emergency word i recommend the word
emergency quite frankly to tell your
spouse hey we need to act right now to
get out of this danger zone if you do
that and plan it in advance you could
put them in a good situation to get away
from you so to say emergency run the
other way these guys are about to attack
us and then make sure that they do what
you say so you can plan your defense now
if he had planned a defense and he had a
firearm on him what our guy kind of did
here is okay in that he went around the
back of the car to give himself a
barrier that would prevent the other guy
from seeing him draw a gun and and
because he's tall would give him
actually some cover as he got the gun
out and after him but if you don't have
a firearm here what are you gonna do
well you're gonna submit is what you're
gonna do so this is another reason i
can't tell you enough don't leave your
gun in the car don't leave it in the
house if you have the ability to carry a
firearm please do so be a good saint
sober moral prudent person only use it
as a tool last resort but have it on you
because he could have absolutely burned
this guy down you know given the fact
that he's got a gun like he kind of
shows that he does here if you don't
have that the only answer you have is to
submit and and these guys do they comply
either comply fully or resist fully and
and again give them what they want now
the thing that that didn't happen here
that you would worry about is them
taking you to a second location making
you go inside the house stuffing you in
the car and kidnapping you those kinds
of things you know putting you on the
ground zip tying your hands stuff like
that mean you might have to fight and
try to take the gun away from him or
whatever but that didn't happen here
they just wanted the stuff so if you
don't have the means to counter ambush
and counter attack let it go the stuff
can always be replaced and hope for the
best and thankfully these robbers
weren't murderers they weren't killers
they were just thieves and and obviously
forcible felons and that's not good now
think for a second here if you're this
neighbor hey these guys just robbed us
with a gun will you go get their license
plate you want to think long and hard
about that because if they they see you
doing that they are very likely to make
maybe take umbrage with that and that
could put you at risk of significant
violence yourself may not be the best
idea to do in fact i don't think it is a
great idea to do you may feel a moral
obligation to do so just plan that in
advance with your family so that
everybody knows what risks you're taking
and have fully accepted those risks with
your eyes wide open finally here okay
the police car shows up yay that's great
but the police didn't protect in the
moment even being right in the
neighborhood they couldn't protect
because they're too spaced out they
weren't there and that's why the bad
guys chose to attack you and only you
can protect yourself so you got to do
what you need to do to cover your asp
