just because you're compliant doesn't
mean a bad guy won't muzzle strike you
with his rifle
[Music]
welcome to today's lesson here at active
self protection i'm your host
john korea today's video comes to us
from houston texas
today's video is brought to us thanks to
the generosity of luckygunner.com
check them out for all your ammunition
needs a car full of dudes drives up
on this cell phone store and oh there's
gonna be a whole bunch of them
four dudes you're gonna see this is the
the obviously the doorman here you're
gonna see a guy with a rifle and two
other grab men
go inside and are going to start robbing
this
cell phone store now once they get
inside we actually have audio from the
inside camera
so let's listen in and see what happens
oh
[Music]
oh
the best of my knowledge is that the
houston pd is still looking for these
guys if you have any information please
send it over to them i don't know about
follow up on the injuries either but
that is where this one ends
lots of lessons to learn from this one
if you want to get better as a
self-defender one of the ways you can do
that is joining us on our facebook page
lit up your facebook app
search active self protection and hit
that like button we're this close to 300
000 likes over there help me get over
the hump and i bring you great stuff
there
every day that's not just the daily
narrated videos i promise
really the first thing for us to think
about here multiple attackers with
different roles
gun man grab man doorman and we see that
pretty regularly here
where you get a doorman who is watching
what's going on outside
a grab man or two and a gunman who's
gonna hold everybody at bay this is a
group of guys that kind of know what
they're doing and you want to be pretty
darn cautious of that next
uh we see the guys come in and he has
rifle up and on
the staff and so a counter ambush here
very difficult that said
recognize the fact that the the employee
behind the counter here is
hidden somewhat by the countertop
and by the monitor so if you have a very
still draw
if your draw of your firearm you can get
that gun out without moving all around
you would have a pretty good time of
being able to beat this guy to the shot
but only if you're very good so i don't
know that i'd recommend that
probably waiting for an opportunity is a
good thing now i know some folks are
also going to say
hey wait a minute doofus here comes in
and puts this i don't know ak style
whatever
in your face and so you could probably
take that away that's true if you do
have
a significant empty-handed skill set
you've got practice and work taking a
gun away from somebody especially a long
gun like that you can but be very
careful here
you've got multiple attackers at least
three bad guys in the store
you better be ready to take that away
quickly i don't know that that's the
best course
probably hear compliance and purposeful
compliance to look for a counter ambush
but that's no guarantee of safety
because this guy is super compliant and
the guy gains extra compliance by
muzzle punching him with his rifle and
just because you comply does not at
all mean that you will not be injured
and you've got to be
emotionally present and have emotional
fitness to weather that storm
to be able to continue to look for your
opportunities of course they do this
in order to gain compliance and i also
think that what i see all the time
on the narrative videos if somebody hits
you with a gun very rarely will they
actually shoot you with the gun so it's
actually a good sign
that you have some time and availability
here was your first counter ambush
notice that our
our gunman turns his shoulders and his
head away if you have a two second draw
to first shot
even right now you could get after this
bad guy and get him
with that shot if you're ready to make
the counter ambush now the one who just
got muzzle stroked
probably wouldn't but perhaps the other
employee would and if you get a couple
shots in the guy with the gun and get
him moving then his other partners will
probably start moving as well
because once their force advantage
evaporates they tend to run off
that said they always have to worry
about time and looking for opportunities
notice here again
he is going to look around for and think
about hitting him again and now let's
look for another
opportunity to counter ambush you got a
pretty decent one here
as he is not looking at you right here
so even the guy who's been hurt he's got
his hand up to his face or whatever
notice that our guy with a gun not
paying attention here you could
absolutely roast this guy if you have a
1.5 second draw to first shot
he literally cannot beat you at that
point if you just get the gun out
quickly and go to work but you better
know what skill set you have in order to
do that
then you've got your other co-worker and
the other people in the uh
in the place as well the other bad guys
so again looking for opportunities now
of course we want to talk about being
taken to a second location
not a fan of that but again as
purposeful compliance goes maybe an
opportunity again to find a counter
ambush and look for your chance to get
way ahead
i do want to notice here you can see in
our victim's hand
the fact of the matter is is that that
muzzle has cut him and cut him good i
don't think this is a fake gun at the
very least it's probably a metal one
because the muzzle device
cut this guy pretty good so staying
emotionally present even if you're
bleeding hey man i'm okay and i'm gonna
be okay
is difficult but is doable now that's
another counter ambush opportunity you
notice here that our gunman just
completely ignored
our victim because the victim has been
very compliant past this point so
there's a lesson there
either resist fully or comply fully
because when you comply fully
then then the bad guy starts to forget
about you and that gives you an
opportunity to launch a counter ambush
or to get out of the danger zone as your
skill set
allows and again he's been forgotten
about and at the very most he's there
with one of the grab men
outside now again this other employee
not so much
and so you'd have to time your counter
ambush she could as well if she had a
firearm on her person and the
willingness to use it
the other part here though is that we
notice our first victim at this point
decides hey i'm gonna get on my cell
phone and that of course
is going to be seen as resistance not as
compliance and the thing that i don't
like about this
is the fact of the matter is is that is
going to be seen as a half-hearted
resistance
this is trying to call the cavalry in
and of course the bad guys are not going
to put up for that and the bad guy in
front is not going to put up for that so
now it's going to cause
more injury because he is going to fight
you for that could lead to significant
injury either resist fully
or comply fully because otherwise he
gets slapped upside the head
like he just did there so comply fully
until it's time to resist fully and
be properly equipped and ready because
look at what happens here this is seen
as an affront this is seen as as a ego
battle
so our dude with the rifle thinks about
butt stroking him again or actually
muzzle striking him
because he again has has dared to
challenge them thankfully these guys are
gonna run off
and not shoot anybody and not do any
more injury but the great bodily injury
you know the stitches that this guy is
gonna need to his face and those kinds
of things is a pretty serious issue
so i want you to be ready to launch the
counter ambush have the attitude skills
and plan to cover your rasp
