Hey guys, Nick Drossos and welcome to Code Red Defense. A question that we got is Nick,
how do I react in a street robbery? So, you know the guy's got a gun. He wants your money. So,
let's go Pat. Give me your stuff! Shit, alright. Alright, just take it. Give me your watch! it's right here, right here, Fast man!
It's all yours man. Just go ahead... Come on, give me your money, everything. Here
you're my [ __ ] your keys everything. Yeah I have no money man that's it, I just gave
you everything. Go you could check, check my pockets. my hook come on I got another one
Give me your money, I'm not playing man!
it's all yours man. Look I have nothing else, I swear to god just take that's all I got.
Look the other way man. You know what guys, we're looking at... first of all this is what a gun attack
actually looks like. At no point was Pat stay static. At no point was he here, not moving where
I could like you know do something. Like this. Or, like you know do something like this. No,
he was protecting his hand. His hand was always in front. The weapon was always moving. At no point
I saw at one point when he was close that I can grab a weapon hand. But again, I look at it like
it was a real gun. I do this, he flinches he moves [ __ ] gun starts firing somebody's going to die.
He wanted my money. Unless you value money more than your life. Unless you value what
you have in your pocket or whatever you're going to give him is going to save you, keep you alive
that's your decision. I'm not going to be there. But, I know the dangers of you know, being attacked
in close quarters with a knife or with a gun. Now, if I gave him everything and he grabbed me like
grab me, and he told me "come with me". Alright no problem, alright, alright right where are we going okay.
I'll give you whatever you want man just okay. Go this way Alright. Shut up! I'm coming,
I'm coming, I'm coming! Then it's different. Like I mean it wasn't the perfect trap with the idea
But that's it, I grabbed the gun.
and then it's a fight right. So and at that point, I had no choice but to fight him.
right. If I give him my money, now he tells me to get in the car come with me, you have to do
something. You're better off fighting exactly where you are than getting into a car getting
into a secondary location. Guys, you know, I don't want to make any of this stuff look easy
right. I'm not under adrenaline, I'm not under a fight or flight, I'm not under you know this is
the fear and all the [ __ ] that that is actually going to happen. I'm training in a controlled
safe environment. But, I've had a gun put to my head, I've seen people shoot in the club, I've had
it flashed and it's [ __ ] scary. Especially in close quarter. So, you know as much as possible
you want to try to stay calm. Now, look I gave him my watch, I threw stuff even giving him my stuff,
I'm talking to him, I'm communicating with him. I'm in movement, I'm still aware. Where's the gun,
where is he moving is he looking around is there a car coming to pick him up. Is there any
improvised weapons around me? Even though I'm here and I'm cooperating. I'm still being aware of my
surroundings and I'm still you know, if let's say he did this and he put the gun to my head and I
don't know a door went poof and he turned around and looked maybe then yeah. Maybe, then I would make my move.
But, the way he was attacking me right now, I didn't see the opportunity at all. Even when he was
checking my pocket because the hand was there. It's not like I'm going to do this. And, it's not like
I'm going to risk my life and you know I did it really look man, I have nothing on me I just go ahead
and check check my back pockets. Like what is going to shoot me? Look, if the person wants you dead, he's
not going to do any of this stuff. If somebody wants you dead, he's going to walk boom and shoot.
So, if he hasn't pulled the trigger what does that mean? You still have a chance to talk. You
still have a chance to defuse, to de-escalate, to work with him, to give him what he needs.
and get him what he wants. And, just get him the [ __ ] out as quickly as possible okay. Guys,
now again, we just skip the surface. If you guys want to learn more self defense, we have an
hour and a half gun defense video. We'll put the link on the bottom on the description box. If you
