today we get to see a first-person view
from a helmet cam and it looks like call
of duty rio de janeiro
[Music]
hi everyone welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
friend john the host who likes toast
today's video comes to us from rio de
janeiro
magtec has maintained their high quality
during the ammo panic and ramped
production to the max their ammo is the
only ammo i run on the range because of
its performance and reliability i
recommend magtech wholeheartedly guy is
just rolling down the street on his moto
with his helmet cam going a gopro i'm
not sure if there's a gopro but you get
my point he's just rolling doing his own
thing now we actually have audio from
his helmet cam of when these two arm
robbers are going to accost him
[Music]
nope
if you read the news story that i have
linked in the description he hit one of
the two of them with at least one shot
they caught that guy at the hospital as
he recovers from his injuries he is
facing significant charges the news
story seems to indicate that the second
guy was hit as well but has not showed
up to a hospital and they're still
looking for him and our off duty kept
his motorcycle
all right what do you think of those
shots as they are boogieing down the
road okay or sketchy i want to invite
you over to the second channel active
self-protection extra where every friday
we discuss legal and moral principles of
self-defense in depth to help you be a
legal not just good saint-sober moral
and prudent self-defender
just a beautiful normal day here but
again you know you don't live your life
paranoid but you do live your life
prepared curious seeing what's going on
in your world and this officer did i
think a fantastic job of that had his
tools on his person was ready to use
them in a moment let's talk about why he
might have done what he did here in this
particular case first of all these guys
come over and beep at him and tell him
to pull over it's kind of hard for us to
see right here but it's the guy on the
back who has a gun and they did recover
that gun
with the perp when he dropped it there
at the scene so he's pointing a gun at
you right there all right fine
i get it you want me to pull over this
is actually a fairly common tactic in
brazil again you see two dudes on a moto
in brazil it's the prelude to an armed
robbery now what are you gonna do in
this instance we know our dude has a gun
on him our defender has a firearm on him
but probably drawing it in this moment
probably not the best bet instead he
says okay man i'm gonna pull over they
got to get him pulled over in order to
create the transitional space to rob him
right here i think was his real
opportunity now of course that depends
on whether you're right-handed or
left-handed because as a righty you can
use that left hand to hold the clutch
draw the firearm one-handed and you're
at significant advantage over these guys
who are you are behind they're still a
deadly threat so i think as a righty
no problem whatsoever draw that gun
one-handed and is a good reminder of why
and how to use the firearm one-handed as
a lefty like i'm a lefty much more
difficult because that clutch is with
your left hand you'll have to find the
neutral much quicker now why does our
guy run away he said why in the news
story that i've linked in the
description because he said he knew that
he was a cop as soon as they found the
gun on him found out he was a cop they
would kill him for that and take his gun
so i think that what he did was very
wise there now that said he then turns
around and goes and gets his firearm out
i think that's also very wise get out of
the danger zone but if they choose to
try to follow you you gotta defend
yourself so he gets his firearm out now
the question becomes from here his bike
is probably i don't know maybe 10 or 12
yards away from him the perps are even a
little bit further than that so the
question is do you have the kind of
skill set particularly with iron sights
to get after these guys now he got a hit
props to him on that notice he's a lefty
like i am which is why he's not you know
he wasn't drawing his firearm earlier
but i also want to notice how far away
these guys are at this point they're
rolling off down the road at least one
of them shot and i would guess man
they're so small there the fisheye lens
effect is a thing but they got to be 50
yards or more and quite frankly for most
people it is entirely irresponsible to
take shots at these kinds of distances
it's entirely irresponsible because
those bullets are going to end up
somewhere one of the 13 shots that he
hit that he shot hit somebody the other
ones went somewhere so make sure that
you only take shots you know you have a
high percentage of actually hitting and
doing that means you got to get to the
range and get to class and learn those
skills now i think again we recognize
why our vic our defender here not victim
he's a defender um didn't end up drawing
his gun because he's a lefty and so you
got to recognize as a you know the
person that you are well what does that
present to me i'm going to be on the
clutch here i'm not going to be able to
draw my gun so maybe you got to put that
into your plan now this guy drove these
guys off he actually shot one of them
got rid of them ended up not hurting
anybody else so that success is a
wonderful deodorant but let's make sure
that we have the skill set and don't
send rounds off into the ether as we
seek to cover our asp
