sometimes the threat that you'll have to
face isn't random but it's crazy
neighbors
[Music]
i'm john korea the founder and host here
at active self-protection and i thank
you for joining us today
today's video comes to us out of oregon
in the u.s after thorough testing i
recently changed my everyday oc spray
to palm personal defense spray it's
nasty stuff and i recommend it highly
the man who took these videos sent them
to me asked me for some feedback agreed
to let all of us learn some lessons
here we have some cell phone camera and
some gopro camera here with audio so
we're gonna see several
incidents stack up we'll see what goes
on here let's listen in
dog
make sure that doesn't happen again dude
let's go
apparently the sheriff cited that guy
for having an unrestrained dog that was
a nuisance and when he did
so now that guy started walking his dog
past and you can see him here flipping
off the surveillance camera that this
guy who sent me all this stuff has on
his property
you can see him walk by a second time
here and he has got the full
battle rattle look at the the stuff on
this guy's belt for goodness sakes he
makes batman
look like a slacker with all that stuff
you've got on him and we can see uh
there's some evidence that this guy is
actually a prohibited possessor and you
can see a large revolver is what that
looks like on his hip
in the world's crappiest uncle mike
holster so we've got some more incidents
coming here as he's walked by to
intimidate a little bit
got more stuff to talk about and some
more audio
[Applause]
get out of the road
we actually can't hear what's being said
in this section but you can see that our
guy with the video camera
stayed in the car
in this last one that we see we see our
guy again walking past
the other guy's house like down a dead
end road can't go out of there if he's
going to walk his dog
but this time he has some bear spray on
him
that's good
[Applause]
you owe me a can of hairspray
apparently even with the police getting
involved multiple times this guy being a
prohibited possessor
there being uh you know a raid on the
guy's house and finding all kinds of
illegal weapons
this dude and his compatriots are still
not significantly in prison and
apparently our dude
is still dealing with them pretty scary
stuff here and a lot of lessons for us
to think about
do you want to support the work we do
here at active self protection one of
the ways you can do that is by joining
right here on the channel you can become
a channel member we do occasional things
for our channel members and i thank
every one of you
who supports the work we do here every
week let's think about lessons
for all of us so lots here to talk about
apparently our guy lives down at the end
of a dead end road so we can't get away
from these guys by going
another way he has to go buy their house
like some stuff that i see here so you
see the dog
attack his dog we got an unrestrained
dog in the yard that's an aggressive dog
goes after his dog number one
you cannot use a firearm here guys a dog
attacking your dog that's property
attacking property
and you cannot use a firearm generally
to protect your property and that
includes your dog if the dog's attacking
you that's
another story but a dog attacking your
dog you shoot that dog off you could
face charges
so i love what our guy does here he
actually uses the stun gun now i'm not a
big fan of stun guns because they
require contact and their pain
compliance but just the sound of it here
got the dog
off and that's actually a really good
use of a less lethal tool he just comes
out and cracks at the dog with that
stuff and that drives the dog
off enough to get away from this guy now
obviously these guys have had beef
before
they're going to have continual beef
from there apparently there's drug
dealing going on in the house there's
all kinds of other problems
so this is what you'd call you're just
your bad problematic neighbor
and how are you going to deal with that
well you know some people said well you
could just move or you could just
apologize or whatever
but at some point you got to say man
maybe i'm going to have to deal with
these guys and that's exactly what we
see from our guy behind the camera here
now this is kind of harassing behavior
because our dude called the sheriff's
department sheriff came
out cited him for an unruly dog so now
the guy's going to come and do that now
i think this is actually
a great reason to have surveillance of
your property and and
specifically having some surveillance
camera watching around where you are to
see if anybody gives you any trouble
and give you some advanced warning i
think having some kind of a surveillance
footage of the outside of your home and
the surrounding property is really wise
and it's so cheap to do today i don't
know why more people don't do it
now of course all this stuff on your
belt you look like a doofus
and you know you look like you're you're
headed out to be batman for the day and
that's kind of silly but this dude is a
prohibited possessor
and that clearly looks to me like
somebody trying to intimidate
so what are you going to do in that
instance well our dude you know gets his
firearm and keeps it on him now
the the contact that i've had with him
he said he doesn't have a ccw permit he
doesn't conceal carry
it's legal in oregon to have a firearm
in your car as long as it's not
concealed now that said i would strongly
recommend it being a holster
if you're not going to conceal carry
openly carry okay fine
it's not my preference but that's fine
but get something like a safariland als
get that gun
on your person in a holster because it's
far safer for you to do
don't leave a gun out like this because
you know you're getting a car wreck or
something that gun's gonna go all over
the place
and you don't want that but is it okay
for him to have a firearm knowing that
he could have problems yeah it is and
you can see he got it out of his hand
there and he knows this guy's problem so
this is this dude's friend
who's pointing a knife at him in his car
now this is something that i think a lot
of people are talking about
right now with mobs and stuff like that
obviously with social unrest recognize
that some dude standing there in front
of your car like that
does not authorize you to mow him down
if you hit him with your car you are
guilty of assault you are now the
aggressor dude steps out in the way
the pedestrian has the right of way you
can't just push him out of your way even
though he
is you know impeding your progress or
whatever you have preclusion problems
when you do that you have to back off go
another way go do something else
don't try to run him down and our guy
didn't and i think that was absolutely
laudable in this case even though dude
had a knife he's not a threat right
there
and then as soon as he got out of the
way our guy gets on the gas and gets to
his house that's the correct way to do
it now it looked to me like they were
filming or something trying to get with
a knife get the guy to point a gun at
him or something like that
and they didn't but as soon as that guy
got out of the way he did the right
thing here and
got on the gas and got away from the guy
escape use your vehicle
and the best way to use your vehicle is
not to try to mow a guy over
but to wait for your opportunity and get
away and he did a very fine job of that
in this particular instance and for that
i applaud him now
next one comes up it gets a little bit
more serious because this is apparently
the boyfriend
of one of the guys that lives in the
house and he's decided to
use his vehicle so again our guy lives
at the end
of this road and so he can't go anywhere
else it's the only way he can get into
his property
so now he's got a big problem because
he's got a dude in a big vehicle who
wants to you know
impede his progress so i like what our
dude does here he's going to get the
heck out of the way not try to run the
guy over get
in that big a conflict he's going to go
up here and park
hey man i got to get to my house you got
to have to get the heck away from me i
also like that he didn't get out of his
car
i'd recommend you keep their window
mostly up and just down enough where you
can
uh defend yourself if you have to now
the guy apparently said to him that he
was going to run him over with his truck
so he's like hey man i want to back off
i need you to get out of my way and now
dude said hey i'm gonna run your little
bitty car down with my big old truck and
then starts revving his engine and
coming after him
and shows that this is what we call
jeopardy this is manifest intent right
here
to do him harm and to do him great
bodily harm if he hits his car with that
big old truck
he certainly could be in fear of great
bodily harm in that instance so when he
gets the gun out here i'm actually okay
with it
because he can't get away from the guy
in that particular case he's gone up
another dead end road
so you heard the guy say hey you're
pointing a gun at me you're threatening
me i'm gonna call the cops on you or
whatever
now every state's a little different on
the defensive display of a firearm so
you want to check your state's laws on
this
now pointing a gun at somebody is
different than simply having one in hand
but this is another instance of why i'd
like the holster
so having the gun in a holster in your
hand on that holster is just as fast as
having it in hand
so that's what i would recommend there
now next one here i love this incident
actually he kind of you know armored up
here rather than the stun gun on this
last one
he's got the bear spray out and i think
that is wise again he's got to walk his
dog
and walking his dog past this guy's
house sometimes it's just is what it is
now this is where his ghost signal was
and it takes him two seconds and in two
seconds that dog
is out and on him so it's kind of funny
we talk about a two second draw to first
shot as a defensive firearms use
and if you know again this dog having
he's coming at him whatever
if our guy had drawn a firearm and shot
that dog with that dog coming hard like
that and him saying hey i thought he was
coming after me
probably would have been justified but
he had a better solution here and that
is a
big pepper fogger what a lot of people
call bear spray that's just marketing
a big pepper fogger like this this big
industrial-sized one that's used for
bears a lot
and you can see he gets a good spray and
creates a big cloud
in front of a a charging dog and that
gets that dog
right off and gets that dog away so
having a big pepper fogger like this i
think is a great solution and i
actually have one for my house just in
case we have that need and you can see
here you can just barely see the blur of
the dog who has backed off a
long way so i love oc spray against dogs
an oc spray on an aggressive dog
if that dog is an attack dog or as a
trained dog might not be super
effective but i have used pepper spray
three times
on aggressive dogs all three times very
effective
don't let anybody tell you that oc spray
is not as effective on dogs it's about
as effective on dogs as it is on people
and that is to say generally highly
effective and in this case it got that
dog to go away and it made it where he
didn't have to shoot the dog now of
course is that going to cause more
problems with the neighbor
probably but that's a great reason i
think to have a gopro to have your cell
phone camera out
because you're documenting cases of you
know aggressive behavior you're
documenting cases of threats
you're documenting those things so that
rather than ended up getting in a
gunfight with these guys you can get the
authorities involved and build a big
enough case
that eventually obviously i think they
can get these guys uh
convicted of something significant so
then that way they can get put away so
sometimes you're just gonna have to deal
with the crappy neighbor
unfortunately that's the case let's make
sure we know the laws of
using a firearm to defend ourselves i'd
really strongly encourage you to have a
holster keep it on your person and if
you're gonna keep a gun in the car keep
it on your person
and to get your arizona ccw or whatever
state you're in ccw
so then that way you can carry that
concealed firearm if you want to
i think there's a lot of lessons to
learn out of this one crappy situations
all the way around
think about having a less lethal tool
let's make sure we use our firearm
correctly if we have to cover our asp
