even a delay in compliance can cause a
negative outcome and we want to avoid
that

hi everyone welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
host john korea today we have two videos
one of them from houston texas and one
of them from argentina both with an
interesting lesson today's video was
brought to us by mantis the mantis

thank them for sponsoring today's video
first one dude's walking in his
apartment complex this other guy who had
driven up in a car just pulls a gun and
starts demanding well our victim throws
his phone at him and the guy still comes
to him he's like nah man i want your
wallet too so now our victim's going to
give that to him he points the gun at
him and then runs off this other one
here a guy's just walking down the
street and you're going to see him kind
of come up and you're going to see our
robbers jump off a moto there right on
the right and point the gun use the
leveraging arm a little bit give me your
stuff and when he doesn't do it fast
enough hits him right over the head with
the gun snags his fanny pack there and
now he's like wait i want your phone too
so then the guy gives it to him and then
kind of walks off all upset where our
robbers are going to ride off into the
sunset on their moto and we're going to
think about lessons hey if you think the
work that we do here is valuable would
you consider joining our patreon member
program what we do with that is people
do that through our website not through
patreon stuff like that we have a
special group for them and gold members
are invited to our monthly online
seminars for free as well so thank you
to everyone who supports the work that
we do helps me pay to stop so we can
keep bringing 19 videos a week for
everybody to learn first things first
here you see him our perp is showing up
already but notice that he's kind of
picking here you see him kind of his
hand towards his gun if you're paying
attention to your world which our victim
does look like he's seeing him he's kind
of picking or guarding where his gun is
and that's a tell even before they come
with it you will see perps all the time
that they will kind of hover their hand
over where their gun is their their
weapon is they'll cover it they'll touch
it to make sure it's there and those
kinds of tails might help us to see from
a little bit more distance and have a
little bit more time now our dude
ignores that walks away from him and
then that gives the guy the opportunity
to pull the gun and be like yo man i
want the stuff now notice that our
victim tosses his phone
and he does a pretty good job of that
it's actually a pretty good strategy we
see this work time and time again he's
using it here with no other options just
as okay i want to get away from what it
is you want now that said if our victim
here has a firearm on him and he has an
expert straw if he has a 1.0 drawn for a
shot there's nothing this perp is going
to do to get a shot off first ever
period full stop and we can actually
time that now you got to have the
experts draw in order to get that from
in this case what looks like kind of a
hands up but not completely surrender
posture because it took about a second
for the guy to kind of think about this
get down and look back up at him the
gun's not actually pointed exactly at
our victim at this point but it's coming
that way it took 1.07
seconds for him to start to look up now
i would say as well for him to see if
you were drawing a pistol get it out
there and and recognize it and do
something about it is at least another
0.5 seconds if he's primed to do that
thing uh probably not there so if you
have a 1.5 second draw the first shot
you probably can beat this guy 1.0 for
sure 2.0 maybe man that's going to be a
real struggle so that's why we say get
fast now if you wanted instead to take
the gun away from the guy if you said no
i don't have one whatever notice how
close his hands are here and our perp
gets right up on him to take his wallet
and and again when we talk about doing
disarms we talk about the five d's plus
one the plus one stands on its own it's
distance you gotta control the distance
and start your disarm from the right
position and from the right distance or
it won't go anywhere this was the right
distance oh he let me put my hands right
next to him right next to the gun now i
can go get it and we can start the rest
of the 5ds but again you've got to have
training in order to do that i wouldn't
recommend it for an untrained person
even though we see untrained people do
it all the time now next one man we see
these two motors you know two guys on a
moto in central south america and the
caribbean is absolutely a prelude to an
armed robbery next here look at the
leveraging arm with the gun
one of the things that we see again and
again is that that left arm he's got it
stuck out there but with the gun in his
hand is not like with a knife in his
hand it's actually used for the opposite
that the knife is if he's got a knife
he's going to put that hand on you grab
a hold of you to hold you close enough
to use the knife with a gun he's
actually going to use it as a barrier so
that you can't cover the distance in
order to take his gun away so it
prevents the plus one of the five ds
plus one unless you deal with that
leveraging arm so just a thing for you
to think about now if you're gonna
comply comply quickly
and comply fully this is one of the
reasons we say comply fully or resist
fully because getting bonked on the head
with a gun can do serious damage that
just can do great bodily harm i've seen
people you know have serious surgeries
from muzzle pokes and stuff like that uh
that said what we can generally see if a
guy uses a a firearm as a bludgeoning
tool he doesn't generally use it as a
ballistic tool now that's not 100 i
don't want you to bet your life on that
but it's at least comforting okay he
bumped me in the head with it and so
he's probably not going to shoot me let
me just give him my stuff and get the
heck out of there now you know as well
man get out of the danger zone we see
this in so many videos that people they
get victimized and then they just stand
there like what and just wait for those
guys to leave i would recommend he beat
feet as hard as he can here and not just
run away from danger but run to safety
get out of there as fast as you possibly
can because it's gonna cost this guy his
cell phone in this particular instance
because he hangs out and the guy's like
oh wait there's more to victimize here
and so he starts doing that i would
strongly recommend instead that you get
out of there as quickly as you can and
and not just stand there incredulously
you got to think about what is happening
to me in the moment and how do i make
myself safer in the moment rather than
just stand there and be incredulous
about what just did happen so a couple
of bad examples here a couple of things
that are negative outcomes but we can
learn some positive lessons from it and
better cover our asp
