it's one of the most disheartening
sounds in the world a click when you
wanted a bang

welcome everyone to today's bonus badge
cam lesson here at active self
protection i'm your host john korea and
with me our co-host mike willover
today's video comes to us from palm
desert california wilderness tactical
has been around for longer than the gun
you're carrying has been and they have
been making high quality products for
concealed carriers for literally decades
i wear their lowepro belt every year the
webbing is the best in the industry and
i won't wear anything else if you're
looking for a good ccw belt check them
out it's one of the crazier things that
i've seen this guy's scouting out the
local gun store while chugging a
two-liter and he's gonna drive his car
into the front door of it in the middle
of the night repeatedly he drives his
car into it and he's like oh well that's
not gonna be enough of a you know an
entry there for me so he's gonna back up
now during this whole time the glass
break and the forcible door entry alarm
is going off and that alerts the 911
call center so that means the 911 call
goes out but this guy's gonna enter the
car multiple times he's gonna bash the
car in there and you can see him he's
got an ar version of a gun now let's
listen in on the badge cams from here
stop right there put your hands up
hands up
end up
put your hand up
johnny 7a for him he seems to be down
surveillance footage from the back of
the stork i drove his car all the way
through the store you could see him come
outside with that rifle if you go watch
the original from the sheriff you notice
this actually ended up being a highly
realistic airsoft gun of course officers
couldn't see that but you see him step
outside the officers give him a ton of
commands here and instead of obeying
those commands he is going to lift that
gun start pointing it at officers and
the officers are just really actually
not going to have it so as he points the
gun there and continues to talk at him
and won't put that gun down they decide
no that threat is too much you're gonna
see him get one get a second one there
and get another third one that sends him
to his maker and we're gonna think about
lessons mike i think we're gonna have to
talk here a lot about know your
equipment and vet it yeah you gotta
check your equipment every day and you
got to train with it
mike i think the first lesson here is
never underestimate the number of crazy
calls you are going to get as a law
enforcement officer because obviously
this is a high level of just absolute
insanity and yet these officers are
going to have to show up and deal with
it
you never know what you're going to get
at any given shift it's not it's like a
box of chocolates it really is you start
your day and it could be a completely
uneventful day or it could be completely
nuts from start to finish
you do not expect that someone is going
to intentionally ram their car
repeatedly into a gun store and come out
with an ar pattern looking rifle
and i just
okay i mean this is the kind of stuff
that truth is stranger than fiction now
i really want to key in here on the
officer hopefully you heard it on the
badge cam the number of malfunctions
that this officer had in his shotgun
it's a pump action gun i don't know what
model of gun it is but this has to be
the worst feeling on earth to know i
need to put this guy down and i'm
getting click
what we see on this a lot of times is
some pump action guns if you short
stroke it you completely get it and it
just will not come together so you've
got to function check your gun you and i
are both fans of the shotgun big gospel
of the gauge all that lovely stuff but
uh i taught a class at my agency they
hadn't taught shotgun other than just
qualifying with it in a long time so i
taught a separate class and all the guys
were very confident in their ability
until we got into the classroom i said
who needs this who needs a refresher on
how to break it down and clean it no no
hands went up in a third of the class
was incapable of doing that so guys if
you have a shotgun kudos good
you got to train with it you got to
maintain it you got to take shotgun
specific classes and up your skills with
that thing same thing with your pistol
and your cardinal as well right now i i
don't think there's any question on the
justification here right guy has got
what certainly looks to be a rifle he's
certainly pointing it in your direction
he's ignoring commands at some point you
gotta go okay this is gonna get really
bad in a hurry i will note this he did
get some shots off with the shotgun and
this is what we see this is one of the
reasons i love a properly loaded shotgun
because when the shot breaks that puts
that guy down i've literally never seen
somebody take a a full double op buck
and do anything other than lie down and
regret their life choices and this is
why i think it's a very powerful tool in
the modern time for both law enforcement
and private citizens last time i checked
a doj study on law enforcement gunfights
the number average number of rounds
needed from a law enforcement shotgun
and a gunfight had to be rounded to the
nearest number and the number was one
one and that happens very often now they
gave this guy three uh because he was
still standing up there in that moment
but again he definitely and immediately
regretted his life choices of course the
only thing about running a gun with
buckshot in it is you need to know your
ranges you need to know at what range
can i be assured that i'm going to get
all the pellets in my target and not
endanger someone else that's something
that you got to do on the range i do
love the gauge i think that it's a
highly useful tool for law enforcement
but you need to have an absolute
knowledge that the gun is reliable that
you know its function and that you know
at what range you can do what absolutely
and and ladies and gentlemen i got to
tell you you can you can comfortably
keep flight control buck in a man's size
target to about 25 30 yards without
without a lot of practice but go go try
it yourself go ahead 25 yards and throw
that up on the target see what happens
