even fatally wounded attackers can
continue to be a deadly threat for an
incredible amount of time
[Music]
hey everybody welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection
i'm john korea an evidence
evidence-based trainer based out of
phoenix arizona and i'm your host
today's video comes to us from mexico
city ammo is crazy expensive and hard to
find and dry fire is life
i use the mantis x10 to keep my handgun
skills strong
and it makes dry practice fun and
challenging check it out at the link
below
as this one begins what we have is a bus
is being robbed by a couple of armed
robbers you see that guy dumped out
because he's actually running away there
was a cop who was actually on that bus
and you can see right here has actually
shot him right in the guts
now that and then he's trying to kind of
jump off and notice he's trying to get
away but his legs are not working like
he wants them to
and so he is trying to kind of get away
here and officer still on
board the bus there's another robber
there and now our bad guy who is shot
here
and is going to end up not making it out
of this one alive
is still firing on the bus so he tosses
the gun
at that point and now our officer is
going to go over and grab
hold of that firearm and secure it now
he's gonna wave that gun about like he
just don't care at least his fingers
high in register
as he is uh starting to direct traffic
now there
again like i say there is another robber
here they had a gunman and a grab man
and notice that our gunman does have
a little bit of use of his legs but not
enough for him to get up
now the second robber here they're going
to finally throw out of the bus and the
other passengers
are going to take umbrage with what is
going on here so they're going to go
over to the robber and give him you know
the guy with the gun a bunch
and then this dude who was his
accomplice and his grab man
uh they are going to turn him into a
pinata
and just absolutely stomp on him you see
him kicking him with a shod
foot and that's going to go on for a
long time that they are going to kick
and punch
both of these guys quite a bit now the
news story that i've linked in the
description
says that one of them the one who was
shot did not live through this he took
the asphalt temperature challenge
and the other guy got the tar beat out
of him and is facing a host of charges
that's where these end man he was still
around for a long
long time if you want to get better as a
firearms instructor if you're a firearms
instructor can i invite you to come and
check out
the active self-protection instructor
certification program there's a link
in the description where we want to help
you become better as a teacher
of self-defense skills for firearms
users so hit the link in the description
and come check us out the program is
almost
all online and virtual meetings and
those things of course because
2021 and the rona and those things so
come and train with us would you
some real stuff for us to think about
out of this one so watch as the guy gets
dumped out
first what i want you to notice is he is
fatally wounded everybody but
notice the fact of the matter is that he
is still a deadly threat so
even mortally wounded a significant
deadly threat and to me the big lesson
here is
notice the location of where he's shot
is that he is shot low
and it's not in his high center chest
and you can see right here as we've
stopped it
that basically my my most likely guess
here is that our officer
flinched and shot lower than he wanted
to and so this is a gut shot
any hunter will tell you that a gut shot
can be a hundred percent fatal
but the animal in this case the person
can go for a long time
and this is why we talk about high
center chest to stop the threat because
this guy even though mortally wounded
is still a threat for a long time so
that's why we say you want to get hits
in that high center chest area
because it'll decrease his blood volume
and his blood pressure very quickly and
he'll lose consciousness not be able to
fight anymore
and that's the biggest thing now i do
think and notice
that a he's still firing but as soon as
he stops and puts his hands in the air i
love that the officer
stops firing so what's our goal our goal
is to stop the threat now
again that threat took an awful long
time to stop here and he was still a
significant danger
but once he did he tossed the gun put
his hands in the air the officer stopped
shooting correct
answer there because our goal is
self-defenders is to stop the threat and
once the threat is not a deadly threat
anymore you don't use deadly force
i do like that the officer then secured
the firearm and every once in a while
somebody comments on the channel
and says oh wait a minute why would you
grab the firearm now your fingerprints
are going to be on it that's totally
fine
two things on that number one you almost
never can get fingerprints off of
firearms in reality it's almost
never something that can actually be
done but number two even if you did
there's a good reason for your
fingerprints to be on the firearm so
it's not really a big deal
at all especially because there are
witnesses around now let's think about
what else goes on here
is that our officer now is waving his
gun about
while he's trying to direct people do
not use that firearm hand to direct
people you
must as a good saint sober moral prudent
person practice safe firearms handling
all the time nobody else got hurt here
so okay fine he's gonna get a pass
but he is waving that gun about and
pointing it all over the place
at people and that is a violation of the
rules of safe firearms handling don't do
that friends
learn to be smart and go okay i'm going
to keep this gun in a low ready position
or at a depressed muzzle position
use my other hand to see what is going
on and to direct people
at the very least though you can see
right here that his trigger finger is
very high and on the slide and in
register so that's okay didn't violate
all three rules of safe firearms
handling
at once and therefore he is alright and
the gun is in use here so okay
notice here though that he switched
hands with the gun i really don't
recommend that either
because again you're gonna be much less
competent
with with your support hand on the gun
than you are with your dominant hand on
the gun
when if god forbid you need to use it
again now then
let's think about this bit at the end
and i know there's going to be an awful
lot of people saying that these robbers
earned it and i get that
okay so this is what we call an
educational beatdown and these happen
all over the world in the us as well as
worldwide all the time and i get that
but i am not going to recommend this and
the reason that i don't is
is that these guys here are kicking this
guy in the head who is not currently a
threat to them could face aggravated
assault charges here
because that is likely to lead to death
or great bodily harm when you kick some
a downed opponent in the head with a
shot foot and i don't want good sane
sober moral prudent people facing
charges like that
so i get it i understand the anger but
we have to control
our own emotions to the place that we
say no what we're going to do is we are
going to restrain this guy if we want to
keep him here
and we are going to not become the kind
of people
that we uh despise which is people who
would do violence to those who are not a
threat to them
so i i get it i get the anger and i say
you know wait a minute this is an
educational beat down in some capacities
but i would recommend that we not
participate in that that instead
we hold him in place we restrain until
the police get there and again uh
big lessons here about how long a threat
can be a deadly threat even if they're
mortally wounded so making sure that our
marksmanship skills are strong make sure
our gun handling skills are strong too
as we seek to cover our asp
