if you have a gun staged for home
defense that's great but in a home
invasion you're going to want to have a
gun on your person

hi friends welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
host john korea today's video comes to
us from houston texas
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 family at
eight o'clock in the morning coming home
from i think an early soccer practice or
something and as they finally get out of
their car they set in their car for a
little while as they go to go in the
house you see this dude come up with a
rifle and you can see he's got the rifle
there he's going to come up just as
they're getting inside and try to break
into the house and demand that they open
it his driver gets out as well he's got
a handgun they're trying to get in uh
the man of the house apparently held
that door closed one of them got in
there for a minute pressed the trigger
on his gun three times and it didn't go
off so they ran off with nothing and
what you see right here is the doorway
that was busted in and i know some folks
are going to ask some stuff about was
this random or those kinds of things
well we're going to think about it in
the lessons
dang man that's a lot if you want to
support the work we do here at active
cell protection would you consider
becoming a patron member we have two
levels silver and gold and all that goes
to help make sure we can continue to
bring these free lessons to everybody
every single day of the week to all of
our patrons thank you so much for your
help we're seeing these kinds of attacks
of people racing into folks homes when
they are going in the house these are on
the rise and they can be very random now
sometimes they are targeted for sure but
we are seeing a big increase in these in
random places recognize that your
driveway is a transitional space and
therefore i would recommend that you
don't sit in the car for a significant
period of time that you pay attention to
your surroundings as you pull up to your
house
and then again with with reasonable
swiftness get in the house and get the
door locked behind you as quickly as you
can i think that's probably the best bet
here that once you can get a good you
know door locked behind you you're
better off and having a good security
screen i think would be a good thing as
well because you see this guy run up and
start kicking the door in with
everything he has now i want you to
notice that our pier has a hundred round
drum on some kind of rifle that's no
joke now now chances are good that tells
me that he is a chucklehead because if
you've done any kind of shooting with a
rifle at all especially an ar pattern
rifle or whatever you recognize that
those are
completely unreliable not very good
they're just not good use but they are
quite intimidating
so you wanna you know again for your
home defense i think having a
significant tool to be able to defend
your home very important especially
against two armed attackers like we have
here and and recognize as well you see
him kicking the door in here and i think
this is probably the second big thing
here because it looks to me like he got
the door latch like that like the man of
the house got the door latched in this
particular case but that door is only
held in by little bitty crappy screws
that only go in
to the fascia board they only go into
the very edge board so i'd replace those
if at all possible because otherwise
they end up getting inside exactly like
happens here now thank god that guy's
gun malfunctioned and i don't think it
was the rifle i think it was the pistol
that malfunctioned according to the news
story that i've linked in the
description but eventually that gets
them to run off and i want you to pay
attention to this right here you can see
from this real actual you know picture
of what happened on the inside that it
blew out the um molding around the edge
of the door so and you can see kind of
towards the bottom where the door handle
is
that that little the little frontal
board there has been blown out so what
you want to do is you want to at the
very least replace those little crappy
screws with big three inch case hardened
screws because that gets through that
little fascia board into the stud and
will prevent this kind of thing or at
least make it much harder
i think even better than that is a you
know a door hardening kit they're not
very much money you can get them you
know your local hardware store on amazon
or something like that and in a little
bit of time with just a little bit of
effort you can really reinforce your
doors to prevent something like this
happening was this targeted or was it
not i see it happen in random instances
enough that i i'm just not comfortable
saying that it's anything other than
random i do think we can take some steps
to protect ourselves including a better
prevention and hardening our doors to
cover our asp
