this just in armed robbers do not like
armed patrons
[Music]
thanks for joining us for today's active
self protection lesson i'm your host
john korea
today's video comes to us from puerto
rico the new mantis x-10
firearms performance system has all the
goodness of the original
plus holster draw analysis and recoil
analysis
it's a fantastic upgrade and i recommend
it highly just another day at the
panaderia but watch the robber's going
to come in from the right this guy
coming in from the left is a security
guard he's going to see the robber come
in and start pointing a gun at people
get his own gun out take one shot at the
guy who misses him
and goes up and high left you can see it
here from the other angle he
is actually going to get a shot it's
going to miss our bad guy who turns
around and takes a shot in the direction
of an innocent bystander
thankfully it did not hit that innocent
bystander who was then going to look
around and obviously
thank god that he didn't get hit by that
bullet now we're going to see our
defender here
start futzing with his gun at this point
pointing it around and saying oh is it
okay or whatever
you notice one guy didn't even get out
of his chair just put his head down
then uh patrons are gonna finally go hey
man i'm gonna get the heck out of this
way they're gonna start flowing away
from that and our good guy's gonna get
his phone out give it up to somebody
else
so that they can call the cops no one
was hurt in this one they are looking
for the bad guy
man he got that guy good didn't he if
you want to support the work we do here
at active self protection one of the
best ways you can do that is by joining
our patron member program
we do special little benefits for our
patrons every month so
hit the link in the description and
consider it would you i would really
appreciate it let's think about lessons
for all of us
plenty to discuss in this one and a
couple of things to get going first of
all i am really grateful that our
security guard was armed this day
otherwise everyone is at risk from an
armed robber who is willing to shoot
people and take their stuff
and threaten their lives for money so i
can't tell you enough
if at all possible in your jurisdiction
carry the best tools on you that you
possibly
can of course in areas where you can i
recommend that you carry your firearm
with you every day
all the time if you can't then carry the
best tool you can whether that's a
pepper spray or a pocket knife
or you know jack johnson and tom o'leary
in really strong empty-handed skills
whatever that is second thing though
whether or not you're armed you got to
pay attention to your world
and our guard here was paying attention
to his world he wasn't engrossed in his
own stuff
he was seeing what's coming around him
somebody comes in the store
he's paying attention to that story we
say it all the time attention buys you
time and time buys you options if he's
not seeing this guy come through the
door
there we know telling if he would have
been able to respond
but because he was paying attention
inside this room
and seeing people coming and going that
gives him the ability to get the drop on
this guy and launch a counter ambush and
that's exactly what happens now a few
things here to think about
number one he is pulling a gun out of
his pocket and it is a pretty darn big
gun
i generally don't recommend pocket carry
if you have
other options and this guy's wearing a
longer shirt or whatever belt carry
generally speaking is more secure and
better
and you can get a better grip on the gun
for when you've got to get that gun out
because that's one of this guy's
problems and one of the reasons that he
missed
as you can see him here trying to get
his gun out of his pocket but he's kind
of
kind of hooked the edge of the grip and
because of that now he's got the gun
but not in a full firing grip one of the
things that you really want here and
again i don't even know if he has a
holster
in that pocket is you have to have the
ability to get a full firing grip on the
gun you can there
are pocket holsters that will allow you
to get a full firing grip on the gun
i'm not so sure that a gun that large is
going to fit inside most pockets for
most people
so this is generally why i recommend
waste carry if at all possible though
again everybody has
you know a particular dress code or
whatever now then he has to get a full
grip on the gun so he has to fuss around
his grip
and because of that he does get up and
get a great counter ambush shot
but i do think that having all that time
of having to you know get the gun in his
hands correctly and all that stuff has
affected his grip doesn't look like he
has a high tang grip here
and has made that shot go left now it's
not a long shot he's shooting here this
is probably five to six yards
but you got to make sure friends that
that first shot hits because
otherwise you're going to have problems
with you know bad guys that are still in
the fight it does cause the fibs a
factor as you notice here our bad guy
you know
it's going to miss him here and what
we're gonna see in the next
angle is that it misses him high left
and misses don't end gunfights notice on
the grip here on our good guy that that
gun is coming out of his support hand
and i think that's what his problem is
train train train
friends because you want that that first
shot to hit
because even with the fibs a factor
notice that our bad guy now
turns around and shoots a random shot
that he that's kind of the direction
that he thinks
that the the shooting is coming from and
has what i think is a negligent
discharge here whereas if you'd hit him
with that
shot probably wouldn't have endangered a
bunch of people otherwise
so again when we see from the different
angle here we see our bad guys pointing
around talking about you know hey he's
launched his stuff and now look at how
close that shot missed him now with that
shot missing him
he turns around and just shoots randomly
at an innocent bystander this guy
clearly
you know this is one of the things that
we say with with attackers like this
they have no care for the rules of
firearm safety and no care for the
safety of others that's why they're
putting guns at them right
so thankfully this dude runs off and
what we can see here because of where
the glass
breaks first as you can see that that
shot missed him
high and left and for a right-handed
shooter pushing that left like that
is almost always because you are
gripping the handgun while you are
pressing the trigger and it's usually a
grip problem not a trigger problem
when that happens so come over to active
cell protection extra
and we'll teach you how to do that and
do a better job of it now thankfully it
worked okay because of the fibs and ran
this guy off but of course
he endangered everyone's life around him
now let's think about that last
bystander as well who thanks god that he
wasn't hit
now then let's think about our guard and
the fact of the matter is he hit him you
know he hit that first shot or he took
the first shot but it missed
and now he's looking at his gun going
what is wrong with my gun and the answer
is i don't know but i do want you
to thoroughly vet your concealed carry
handgun and the gun that you carry
should go through at least 500 rounds
without a single hiccup including at
least 100
of the gun of the round that you carry
for self-defense and then as a matter of
the way that we do business notice here
that our defender is now pointing his
gun at a bunch of bystanders
we follow the rules of firearm safety
all the time even in the real world as
self-defenders and that means we always
keep firearms pointed in a safe
direction
we always keep our finger off the
trigger until we intend to fire
and pointing guns all over this store is
not pointing them in a safe direction
whereas pointing them at an attacker
is a safe direction so we always
practice the rules of firearm safety
always always
always now notice here he is getting on
the phone and i think that's a great
thing you do want to win
the the race to 9-1-1 if ever you have
to shoot your firearm you definitely
want to get the cops on the way because
they're going to want to be there in a
hurry and you want to be the one to call
them
and then as a bystander you want to get
the heck out of the way everyone you
start finally seeing people flowing out
of the way as soon as you can get down
and get away from where the action is
but notice as well that in all the
action our bad guy really
our good guy rather really didn't have
to deal with
any kind of uh you know people moving
left and right around them generally
speaking the action happens so fast
that they don't have time to move and
it's only afterwards that they get going
so i think sometimes that idea of
bystanders flowing back and forth is a
little overblown
so thank god this guy had his firearm on
him he did enough
to get this guy to leave everybody alone
but let's make sure our skills are
strong and they are unconsciously
competent
so when that day comes we can cover our
asp
