you gotta live within the confines of
the place where you live as far as
defensive tools but you can make do with
what you got
today's video is brought to you by
MagTek ammunition the exclusive supplier
of range ammunition for all active
self-protection training welcome to
today's active self-protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from Toronto in Canada and
shows us a jewelry store owner whose
attitude skills and plan were up to the
task
what we see here is just a normal day at
the jewelry store we see the owner
sitting behind the counter to the left
his wife to the right when these guys in
a stolen minivan start crashing it into
the front of this store so what they're
gonna do here is crash it in multiple
times the news story that you can read
in the description says three times of
course they don't care about the
condition of the car it's stolen right
so now what we're gonna see is as they
go out to see what the heck is going on
they didn't know at the moment if it was
you know an accident or whatever
three guys pile out of the car one with
a gun in his hand you could see him
smashing it on the counter right there
the other two with big hammers and they
start bashing into the cases and trying
to steal jewelry but the owner has gone
back to the back room and gotten a big
old ceremonial sword that it was given
to him by his religious leader
apparently and now he's going to chase
them out he had that back there because
they had other problems in the past is
his big old sword and lives out his
barbarian fantasies by chasing those
guys off and running them down the road
and cops are still looking for the bad
guys but the good guys won the day on
this one this one's over
clearly that owner had it going when his
friends were out partying he was
studying the blade out of today's video
I want to think about important lessons
including having an attitude that says
you will not be a victim the danger of
multiple attackers and prioritizing
those attackers in the order of the
danger to you whole lot to think about
out of this one first of all these
defensive encounters come out of nowhere
folks you've got to be ready to flip the
switch and understand when it's time to
go from a regular day to defending
yourself and I want you to notice right
here that the owner you can see him
right here looking over his shoulder
seeing what's going on and starting to
formulate a plan you can see him seeing
what the threat is while he's moving now
we know because we've seen him do it
he's moving to the back room to go get
his sword
that's the self-defense tool that he has
available and having the plan in place
that you know where your go button czar
and you say I'm gonna go get prepared
for this problem is incredibly important
having that mindset attitude above all
the indomitable spirit that says I will
not be a victim is the number one way to
protect yourself that attitude comes
first all the time now I mean obviously
these guys decide to bash in in the
middle of the day while they're people
they're criminals are not the smartest
people on earth but now you're gonna get
multiple attackers that are piling out
here and as you get multiple attackers
free attacker you add increases your
difficulty but I bought an order of
magnitude in self defense so recognize
that now notice your priorities first of
all this guy is using this gun to bash
down on the counter my guess is and I'm
just guessing here that is somebody
that's bashing with a gun it's probably
being used just as an intimidation tool
and may not even be loaded because most
times with a loaded gun I don't see bad
guys that usually use a loaded gun other
than to shoot it may not be the case but
your first priority has to be the guy
with a gun the guys with hammers they're
their tools are incredibly short-range
but the guy with a gun that tool is a
man infinite range for a defensive
purposes therefore you have to
prioritize that's the guy you got to go
get long before the guy with the hammers
and that's what your priority has to be
now we see this guy driving them off and
now listen of course he's got a big old
sword now is that the best implement
we'll know I would strongly recommend
keeping a longer range tool like a
firearm that said that's what the guy
had and since he had the firearm on his
person and he had is prepared to use it
looks like he might even have a little
bit of skill with it then that's the
tool that you use and friends listen I
do recommend that you keep the best
tools on you at all times that are
absolutely possible and I'm grateful
that he was able to go to the back room
to get it but I would recommend it to
keep your tools on your person of course
doing that with this big old broadsword
might have been a problem now he's gonna
go out here now and start chasing these
guys I really recommend not chasing
because of the dangers inherent of
chasing somebody because again every
time you do this this guy that has a gun
might be willing to use it and
thankfully he wasn't though and so we
get that big bash there and now as the
guy runs off he's chasing him down the
street I think a better idea in this
since you know maybe he was getting the
license-plate number or whatever but
better instance once you've driven them
off is to take a defensive position call
9-1-1 wait for the cops to get there
because otherwise what you do is you put
yourself back into danger and that can
lead to negative outcomes thankfully
didn't in this case these owners had the
attitude the skills and the plan to win
the day they covered their ASP
