if you haven't prepared mentally for an
armed robbery or a mugging or a
carjacking
your first response may not be a great
one

hi everybody welcome to today's active
self-protection lesson i'm your host
john korea we actually have
three videos today one from poland one
from south africa and one from los
angeles
now more than ever you need trusted
coverage to help you win the fight after
the fight
the company i trust and recommend is
firearms legal protection
they offer discounts on all their plans
at the link in the description
i recommend the premium plan first one
here you see our clerk this one's out of
poland that this guy is going to come
in and uh he's kind of kind of okay man
what's up whatever do you need
dude's going to walk in and go into his
pocket and pull out a gun
and then he's gonna threaten the clerk
who wants nothing to do with it and goes
into a squat there to try to stay
away from him now i want you to
recognize that he is
getting a talking to right here pretty
well and
now our clerk is gonna be like all right
man whatever you want and i'm just gonna
allow this one to play a little bit so
that you can see it where he's
turned away from him and now he's
emptying the cash drawer for him okay
man here you go there's there's all the
cash that i have
you take my cash that's fine but that is
not going to be enough for this
robberies like what else you got man
get me into the other stuff and now the
clerk's got to kind of be like uh
i don't know man what do you want so now
we got to figure out what the guy wants
extra because he's like
counting the cash in there and not
thinking that he's got enough
so now our clerk's going to kind of back
away a little bit more go down
underneath and that that guy's going to
kind of look here man i've got
this thing too the guy's like okay puts
his gun down to put it in his little bag
of goodies
and then he's going to kind of point a
gun at him one last time put his gun
away in there as well and back away
that one ends there now this next one
you're going to see the car coming up
is going to get passed by the darker suv
which is where our aggressors are and
it's the car
that has our victims so now you're going
to see this guy kind of hanging out and
watching them and as soon as this guy
comes with a gun in his hand
our our bystander boogies the driver
boogies and
the person who is uh was in the car
is actually a uh you know the victim
that was intended they apparently stole
her wallet and her phone
uh and her laptop bag or something like
that i think and then they jump in their
car and they are gonna ride off into the
sunset as well
police are still looking for them
according to what little news stories
that i had
third one taco truck in los angeles
three o'clock in the morning
these guys prepping their taco truck for
the day when three assailants walk in
with a gun and and put the first guy on
the ground you're gonna see i just sped
it up for the sake of time
gonna see him go outside to get another
employee of the taco truck bring him
in as well guys like all right well
here's my cell phone man whatever now
watch what goes down here as they're
gonna sit there and
whack that first guy real hard on the
ear he actually ended up needing
stitches from getting hit there
they passed the gun off to the other guy
keep uh you know
frisking these guys down getting their
wallets phones all that stuff they
apparently thought there was a you know
a cash box that they wanted at that
point and they said where's the cash box
where's the cash box guys didn't have it
at that time
so that causes them to get beat up a
little bit more guys ran off with their
phones and wallets and they're still
being looked for apparently
big oof very difficult stuff here but i
think some lessons for us to think about
think about joining us for our monthly
online seminars would you february
seminar is literally free for everyone
it's so important that we want every
single person to get in on it so hit the
link in the description
join us for that online seminar and get
better trained in deep dives on
topics of self-defense there are
opportunities for a counter ambush in
the first one and the last one so you
know you see our clerk and he needs his
vape or whatever and guy comes in now
watch what goes down here is he is going
to come out
with a gun in his hand and then he is
going to switch hands with that gun
because he had it on his left hand side
so if the clerk was really paying
attention had a handgun on him and
this isn't pulling in him pulling you
can get a concealed carry license if
you're a support shooter
it's really apparently not that hard if
you're a competition shooter but
uh if if he's quick and he has a sub 1.5
second draw to first shot he could have
outdrawn this guy if he knew that that
was what was going on
but of course the recognition would have
been the biggest problem here because
guy gets a gun out and
up pretty quick and it took him around
1.5 to get the gun
up and out but of course if our clerk is
drawing a gun as well the bad guy would
have had to seen that understand it
and then respond to it appropriately i'm
not even positive that the gun that the
bad guy has is a good is an actual real
gun here
but if our good guy was good with his
gun and saw that gun come
out he did have a chance even there if
he was fast enough which is one of the
reasons that i say you need to have
the fastest draw to first shot that you
can that you can get good accurate hits
because you might need it on that day
but instead he decides to comply and i
think purposeful compliance is perfectly
good
and it can be an effective strategy
doesn't prevent you from being hurt like
we saw in the third one today we'll get
there
but recognize that that that compliance
is a strategy and it sometimes will keep
you from being hurt and
the clerk wasn't hurt here he gives up
the money that's not his money okay fine
but notice here he has other
opportunities our bad guy looks away and
again if you have a 1.5 second draw to
first shot
then you can if he turns away and shows
you his ear like that
then you can outdraw him and there is
literally nothing he can do
in order to get the shot off before you
do
so this is why when we say the national
standard of concealed carriers
is a two second draw to first shot a
professional standard is a 1.5 second
draw to first shot
and a you know the black belt standard
the expert standard 1.0 and that's why
1.5 seconds here there's nothing he's
going to do because it takes about two
and a half seconds to look back at this
point so if our guy has
a decent draw for shot he can outdraw
this guy all day long go to work
and fill him in now then more
opportunities abounding right
our clerk goes down and goes okay man
i've got this other stuff here i'm not
sure exactly what that was i don't think
it was money
but notice that her bad guy puts the gun
down and we see that in a
large number of videos on the channel i
think it's kind of stupid and
and you know it surprises me but we see
it more often than not
so in an armed robbery even if you're
not armed yourself
if you are paying attention you can take
a gun off a counter
and we see it uh fairly often when you
put stuff down bad guys'll go to pick it
up they'll put that gun down to put
everything away
and if you're paying attention you can
find an opportunity to counter ambush
grab that gun and at least drive him off
i'm not saying he had to it worked out
okay in this instance but it would have
ended the threat
sooner notice he puts the gun in his bag
as well stupid stupid
now i think the guy that's standing on
the sidewalk here is one of our biggest
lessons out of the second one it's
pretty good lesson here because he's
paying attention to his world and
because of that
he is able to get the heck out of there
watch him he looks and turns and that
attention buys him time and time buys
him options
because he books and as soon as he gets
moving man as soon as he sees something
he doesn't hesitate
now of course you're going to see him
run across the street and not too far
from get run over by a car so you want
to be cautious and not just run away
from danger but towards safety however i
think the very fact of the matter was he
didn't hesitate
because he didn't hesitate he got out of
the danger zone very very quickly
and that was probably one of the keys to
him surviving this without getting
mugged himself so that was very good now
did he see it yeah look you can see
right there our bad guy has a gun in his
hand so these are the kinds of robberies
that do happen all over the world happen
in the u.s
happen everywhere where we see the first
car come in and go in front of the the
victim car
and then as they're getting out of the
car then the mugging starts and the bad
guys jump back in the car
okay fine but notice here that our good
guy you know our bystander is boogieing
and he is getting out of there but
note that there's a car you want to
watch out of course you know
avoiding an armed robbery getting run
over by a motorist is not a win guys you
gotta
do the things that make you safe and i
think he did an okay job of that here
now then let's just hustle it through
and again the victim we don't get to see
what actually happened you know on their
robbery there but notice that our bad
guys then jump back in the car
transitional space right when uh when
that car is stopped it becomes one
because bad guys can jump out of it very
very quickly
now in our third one taco truck three
o'clock in the morning right and you got
a guy right here who
is all over you with a gun in your face
notice what our
worker does here our victim is that he
kind of instinctively reaches out to try
to kind of put his hand in front of that
gun hey man don't point that at me maybe
grab it or whatever it's a very natural
instinct to do that i'm going to
encourage you to train that either to
the point that you are going to then go
grab that gun
practice the five d's plus one and go on
that or
to squelch that because you don't want
him to think that you're trying to take
the gun away from him
fully comply or fully resist those are
your options now
notice no concern for the safety of
others here whatsoever and
and so they're pointing guns left and
right first opportunity for a counter
ambush here though
right here if our clerk was hey
purposeful compliance and notice the guy
with the gun went outside to go get
somebody else but is his partner here in
the red
you know sweater with the kenny
impression from south park
is he a deadly threat they all operate
in concert
this guy as much as anyone else and if
our our victim here has a gun get that
out go to work on that guy
i think would be completely justified to
do so
and in so doing now again you don't have
a deadly threat
or a deadly threat right on you in the
gun in the moment so you have an
opportunity of course you'd have to push
that guy off to create the space to do
so but it was an opportunity
but that opportunity will pass by so
again okay fine it does
dude is gonna get his phone out and all
that stuff compliance doing okay but
notice that compliance does not
guarantee that you won't get hurt
because they hit him with the the
magazine end plate of that you know base
plate of that gun hard enough
that he needed multiple stitches to
close the wound in his head
that said i will say that if somebody
hits you with a gun it is an
indicator that they are really unlikely
to want to actually use it as a firearm
i'm not saying it's completely
unheard of for them to use it as a
firearm but it is less likely
and so that actually is not a bad sign
even though it would hurt like heck you
go okay
he's probably not going to shoot me with
it so that's a good thing now
that said again why do you want to take
the opportunity early if you have it
these guys didn't i get it but why would
you because if you don't
you get hit in the face again with the
gun and that you know that's doing great
bodily harm to the guy needed stitches
he was in the hospital over this this is
great bodily harm even using the gun
as a bludgeoning tool so of course would
i have preferred these guys to protect
themselves and not end up in this kind
of situation
a hundred percent yes so let's learn our
opportunities for counter ambush here
what purposeful compliance is and when
compliance can help us
and when it doesn't as we seek to cover
our asp
