dang man the crooks they're getting bold
hi everyone welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i am your
host as always john korea and i'm
grateful you joined us for today's
lesson it comes to us from fort alessa
in brazil throne targets are lightweight
weatherproof take thousands of rounds of
shooting and make shooting fun pick up a
set for your next range trip see all
these bicyclists when running up on them
and issuing them some commands or
something as a guy with a handgun and a
guy right behind him who is rocking some
kind of rifle and these guys are all
just going to kind of okay man whatever
you want to do bro it's all on you and
you notice here both these guys are also
acting as grab man so this is kind of
interesting uh we have one gunman and a
second gunman instead of a gunman and a
grab man uh and and that's a little
interesting so we'll talk about that in
the lessons we're just gonna shake these
guys completely down you see these
bicyclists you know they kind of have
stuff in weird spots now notice in the
top right there's another bystander
that's just kind of like hanging around
at the edges i think having like
preemptively surrendered to these guys
or whatever and they're just still
looking for more phones and and any
other stuff wallets whatever and see
another guy over there in the corner oh
okay friend will you come on over here
with everybody as well give me your
wallet and your phone and all those
things and they're going to continue to
kind of shake these guys down and and
notice here they're just going to kind
of hang out and everybody's just going
to stand there and wait and now our
dudes are going to come over again grab
some more stuff off their bikes
i think you know some gps units or other
valuables that they were keeping on the
bicycle itself and then they're going to
run off so we're going to think about
lessons out of this one i just want to
ask you out of this one what would you
do i mean with a guy with a long gun
another guy with a handgun do you just
comply give him your stuff do you try to
disarm the long gun if it's close what
do you think you would do i'd love to
hear from you initial thought here is if
you're paying attention in your world
you are on a bicycle and it is
definitely faster than somebody who is
even running at you full speed and so if
you were paying attention in your world
you might have had the opportunity to go
hey it's time to boogie and get after it
so you know escape this stuff if you can
and that starts with paying attention in
your world these guys are quite a ways
away so they decide to launch an attack
from that far away if you're paying
attention already and you go man those
guys are bird dogging us and i don't
know why then maybe you can just get on
your horse and run and get the heck out
of the danger zone that said
once we get here i really think
compliance is probably these guys best
bets unless one of them has a firearm
because you can see here the guy with
the long gun you know disarming somebody
with a long gun is easier than a handgun
frankly but it's the problem with it is
you go to wrestle with this guy with the
long gun and he's got his buddy right
next to him with a handgun who can
absolutely kill you in that moment and
so that makes it infinitely harder if we
had a gunman and a grab man here then we
might be able to because if you are next
to the gunman you take the gun away from
the gunman and you do it quickly enough
now you have the only gun around but
when you got two guys here both of whom
are armed a long gun and a handgun
you're just way outdropped and you might
now these guys here if one of them is
armed both guys turn away from them if
you have a handgun on your person if
you're carrying concealed and you can
catch a moment for a good counter ambush
that neither of them are looking at you
then yes you might be able to do so and
it might be the wisest thing to do but
barring that no dice now of course i'm
really worried about this guy in red
who's just kind of hanging out at the
edges he should have run off as hard as
he could as early as he could unless he
had a reason that he possibly couldn't
and i don't think that he did he just
kind of hung out and just waited for
them to mug him as well get out of the
danger zone if at all possible and run
away from that problem so there were
some opportunities here but the biggest
one that i would say is the biggest
reason this one went so poorly is
because none of the good people are
armed so if at all possible carry your
firearm on your person even when you're
doing something like bicycling because
that may be your only opportunity to
cover your asp
