i'm john korea the founder and owner
here at active self protection and i
welcome you to today's lesson it comes
to us out of guatemala the mantis
blackbeard is an innovative rapid
trigger reset system for your ar-15
pattern rifle that makes your dry fire
much more effective and fun using your
rifle with your sights and your trigger
it integrates with the x10 and can help
you improve your carbine shooting
dramatically check it out at the link
below
watch the guy getting pulled over here
you see the cop truck pull up in front
of this guy and if you go read the news
stories that i've linked in the
description
i'm not sure why they pulled this guy
over i don't have that information but
now watch what goes down here they've
got him pulled over and they're gonna
try to get him out of the car and you
see that one officer is coming up to the
door the other one is kind of pulling
guard staying at the rear of his car
in the white shirt with the um you know
chest rig on so now watch as it goes on
as he starts backing up and that
triggers the cop who was kind of pulling
guard to get up a lot closer to put the
guy's car in park and they're gonna
decide to get this guy out of the car
he's gonna yell at him or whatever for
trying to pull away from them now watch
what goes down here very critical he's
gonna pull the guy out of the car and
then turn him around and as he does he
shoots him right in the head now we're
going to talk about what happened here
let's watch it one more time in slow-mo
so he grabs him with his right hand or
his left hand here pulls him out of the
car and around and as he brings the gun
up close to him the gun goes off and
shoots him in the head fatally let's
think about lessons
a couple of significant lessons here
really important ones it's not too early
to think about joining us at the active
self-protection national conference this
year it's all for a good cause all to
help abused and abandoned foster teens
an incredible three days of training and
there's a link in the description with
more information
at the start of this one i want to say
that police and citizen interactions in
different countries are very different
than the united states so i'm going to
talk about this from the perspective of
a united state or that's most of our
viewers here at active self protection
okay and the big one here if you get
pulled over by the cops in the us i'm
not saying in other parts of the world
because i get it it can be very
different you don't want to have fights
with cops on the side of the road right
so if you feel like they're wrong
whatever you can record on your cell
phone and then fight it in court okay
now these cops are are pulling this guy
out again i don't know what the actual
deal is but as they start pulling away
now we have a pretty significant problem
so do i get it that sometimes people
could be scared of police officers yes
but again this is going to escalate the
conflict and now this officer says oh
okay i'm gonna have to get this guy out
of the car and you notice he has a gun
in his hand now this is the big problem
here is that he had a firearm out and in
his hand at this point now there's a
time to have a firearm in your hand in
law enforcement for sure but when you
feel like i'm about to go hands-on with
this person you need to put that firearm
away because of exactly what we had
happen here
now he's going to go in here the guy
decides that you know he's not going to
run or whatever so they shut the car
down i want to talk about what ended up
going down and wrong here as you can see
he's got his left hand free and his
right hand has the firearm you've got to
put that gun away here if you're going
to yank this guy out of here because
otherwise what happens is you have this
inter-limb interaction and that's
exactly what went down here that when he
grabs a hold of the guy with his left
that starts to set up a clinching
function in his right and that's
hardwired and built into uh you know the
human neurobiology and so you want to
say listen if i got to get my hands on
this guy i got to put the gun away in
the holster so so you've got another guy
there right so you've got your partner
there that might be the time to say hey
if i feel like no i may need to use my
firearm then i back up and let the guy
who doesn't have a gun in his hand get
the person out and this is a tip for all
my private citizen defenders as well if
you have to use your firearm in an armed
robbery or something like that to stop a
defender you know stop and defend
yourself you want somebody else to go
hands-on if at all possible or you want
to put your gun away because as we slow
it down what goes down here is he has a
guy with his left hand and now he's
trying to get the guy on the ground and
comes up and puts the gun close to him i
am almost certain because of his body
language that we will see at the end
that this guy did not mean to press this
trigger so he did not mean to do that
what he was trying to do is get the guy
to the ground but as he turned him
around with his left hand and pushed out
with his right hand that grip with the
left then his trigger finger slipped
with the right and he shot this guy in
the head now that does not excuse what
he has done here at all he has
recklessly and negligently caused the
death of another person by pointing a
firearm at somebody who didn't need a
firearm pointed at them and then
pressing the trigger that's kind of
textbook what we would call manslaughter
and and that is going to get him in the
united states sent to prison for 10 20
years something like that and rightly so
this is the kind of slip and capture
error that is preventable number one by
always following the rules of say
firearms handling that we always keep
firearms pointed in the direction of
least consequence that we always keep
our finger high and in register until we
intend to fire those are the two ones
that are applicable here
number three put that gun away when you
do not need it in your hand if you
follow those rules you'll never have
that problem because this is again a
manslaughter with this guy is absolutely
now facing prison for decades if he's in
the u.s again in guatemala i'm not sure
what that's going to do look at his body
language here he realizes what he's done
not only is he guilty of taking
someone's life which in my opinion is a
huge offense before god if it is done in
an incorrect way and in such a way that
is not morally defensible but number two
he is going to face the wrath of the
judicial system and rightly so because
of what he's done is unlawfully and
immorally deprive someone of their life
you don't want to put yourself in those
kinds of situations so a follow the
rules of safe firearms handling all the
time in every single situation without
fail b watch out for those inner limb
interactions if you have to do something
else with your non-dominant hand if you
possibly can put that gun away so that
you don't have to worry about the inner
limb interaction see if you can't for
whatever reason put the gun away and
have to do something with there take the
moment to verify your trigger finger
position take your time and be slow and
make sure you follow the rules of
firearm safety as you seek to cover your
asp
