people love to think of their home as a
safe space but not in the transitional
spaces
[Music]
hi friends welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
host as always john korea we have
multiple videos today one from los
angeles california and multiple from
houston texas this is not a paid
endorsement but i am a brand ambassador
for heckler and coke for a reason hk
firearms are incredibly high quality and
when it's time to step up out of the
entry tier they're the only ones i
recommend you carry a gun just in case
shouldn't it be an hk just in case in
this first video guys left his gate open
in his home here you can see he's got a
nice gated home and a nice it looks like
a nice neighborhood and that lets a guy
just walk up to him grab his gun chamber
around and the guy is super chill on it
it's like hey man i'll give you what you
want guy ends up putting him on the
ground taking him in the house later and
uh where his wife and his child was and
then robbing them of a whole bunch of
stuff and i guess smacking them in the
face with the gun at the same time
second when we actually have audio on it
gets a little crazy so listen in with me
issues
get your hands up
open the door
third one you see this guy puts his key
in his door and as he is coming in watch
from the right hand side two guys are
going to jump into his house and rob him
and hold him at gunpoint same guys here
different group this was a couple of
days before they think these are the
same robbers and they are going to
accost this these group of people out by
their garage grab a hold of these guys
show guns at them take them into the
garage take them in the house rob them
all and again hit somebody in the face
with a gun while they are inside the
garage i don't think cops have caught
any of these home invading armed robbers
boy we're going to think about lessons
man that's some serious stuff would you
think about coming and joining us at the
active self-protection national
conference so last weekend in september
it's in manhattan kansas every penny
goes to help abused and abandoned foster
teens it's a fantastic weekend of
training friday saturday and sunday hit
the link in the description and find out
more and join us our first lesson in our
first video here is absolutely a hundred
percent to lock your gate man you have
this gate for a reason and and that gate
does you no good when it is sitting
there open okay so you you have it for a
reason you say wait a minute he man
needed to go in and out of that or
whatever just understand you are now
then standing in a transitional space so
instead the answer to this entirely is
to close the door if you close that gate
this guy doesn't probably even choose
you he keeps on in his own direction
secondarily he's not even paying
attention now of course he's you know
engaged in whatever he's doing on the
inside of his car and i totally get that
but recognize that that means that he
only gets to see something when the guy
points a gun at him and chambers that
gun now then notice here that our points
the gun right at him and puts the gun
right in his chest and kind of right to
his face and i see here all the time i
hear people go well you know real bad
guys won't put the gun right up to you
and real bad guys won't hold the gun
with one hand and those are both hogwash
we see it in actual real life deadly
force encounters that they will
absolutely do that to intimidate so
working on those gun disarms from those
kinds of positions i think has great
value and he chose not to in this case i
totally get it compliance is okay but
you're not thinking about the fact that
you've got a spouse and you've got
children inside the house and therefore
because of that i don't know that you go
hey i'm gonna let this guy put me on the
ground and go threaten my wife and my
child with a gun at some point you gotta
decide to fight and so i i'm not sure
what yours is but i don't know that i'm
gonna allow somebody that kind of access
to my family so this next one i think is
one of the craziest ones i've ever seen
and particularly it's because these guys
are masquerading as cops and so at some
point what are you gonna do now the big
thing in the beginning here is goodness
sakes figure out how to get in the house
why in the world it takes them this long
to get inside the is beyond me if they
just had a keypad or something like that
it's 2022 for goodness sakes to get in
the house quickly then all of this
evaporates the problem doesn't even
exist now of course this guy shows up
with a vest on that looks like it says
police or it looks like it has some
semblance of law enforcement on it but
there are some clues here that not
everything is right and the first one is
a guy comes up and pistol whips him and
and listen who is the best counter here
now i get it you're gonna spend some
significant time going wait a minute are
these guys cops or whatever
i i think that that for a lot of people
again the one guy got his hoodie up and
those kinds of things number two i don't
think they announced themselves they you
know just kind of assumed that they were
gonna do that but i do think everybody's
gonna go wait a minute what's really
going on here and i think that that
includes good saint sober moral prudent
people now that said it's the woman
they're shaking these dudes down and the
lady is pretty well free so ladies you
might be the one that has to save
everybody in this particular case you
cannot count on your husband to be the
defender now again i think here the way
that they're handling guns and stuff
like that eventually you can make an
idea that says now these guys are not
cops and i'm going to do something to
protect myself against somebody who is
pretending especially there right what
we see right there because the guy goes
oh i'm trying and he muzzle strikes him
right there that right there tells me
uh-uh these aren't cops in this moment
these guys are attackers and and i'm
going to defend myself appropriately now
i get it and i know some folks are going
to roast me for that and go yeah but you
can't tell when it's the right ones or
whatever because if you're wrong in that
case and you end up defending yourself
against a police officer who's punched
you in the face or something like that
you're going to go to prison for a long
time and and i i get that but i think
this says no not cops in this particular
case and so i think it's self-defense on
recognize here again that it is the lady
who has the opportunity to defend and
and
that's a pretty darn big deal you also
notice there's an opportunity here that
he has this guy has has passed the gun
from his right hand to his left hand
now he is holding on to the muzzle end
of the gun that gun is not deliverable
right now so if you want to go nope i'm
going to get after these guys right now
now's the time to do it so pay attention
even in the midst of an armed robbery
like this because that would be your
time to go nope i'm going to go for this
guy get this gun away from him and i'm
going to use it effectively or kick that
guy off you get your gun back in your
hand if you've got a quick draw on your
own now again i think that one was
really tough because of that particular
reason and you know that's a heck of a
tough one to get to be a part now this
next one here man these guys come in a
big hurry so i really think prevention
is probably the best bet here i mean
they rushed his front door so fast they
were clearly watching and in a place to
wait to see what this guy was gonna do
and wait until he got the door open so
the real answer here is to pay attention
to your surroundings to see what's going
on around you so then that way you see
some guys lurking or something like that
you deal with that lurker before you
open the door right this is why we have
a big bright flashlight this is why you
know we carry our firearm have our oc
spray and all those things because i
don't know if there's anything you're
going to do in this particular case and
now in this last one that was again a
little ways previously to this i really
think again these guys get dropped off
and and they're going to attack these
people who are sitting and just chilling
in their garage and i get it in many
places that's a very popular thing to do
take that and move it to the backyard
guys don't do this don't sit in the
garage don't sit with the garage door
open because you're literally sitting in
a transitional space unless you have a
yard that is protected by a gate if you
have a full yard gate that has you know
a full fence or those kinds of things
which are pretty uncommon in the united
states unless you're fairly wealthy but
if you do okay fine otherwise get in the
backyard instead or close the garage and
hang out in the garage with the garage
door closed because then it's not a
transitional space otherwise what
happens here can happen is very
difficult in these instances to cover
your asp
