as a self-defender you have to know when
the right time
is to act to save your life
[Music]
hi everybody welcome to today's lesson
here at active self-protection it's not
a new one
actually over 10 years old but the
lessons here are so important i thought
we should bring it to you
it comes to us out of orland park
illinois ammo is crazy expensive and
hard to find and dry fire is life
i use the mantis x10 to keep my handgun
skills strong
and it makes dry practice fun and
challenging check it out at the link
below
the robber's already in progress here
when the surveillance video starts you
can see the clerk is sitting down in the
chair
has been told to tie herself up by the
robber who is on the right
he has a handgun in his left hand the
guy standing to the left is actually a
customer
who happened to walk in and then get
involved in this armed robbery
and the robber apparently has told him
to he is going to tie him up as well
now our bystander said hey man just take
the money and go whatever it's fine
you'll be fine
and the guy said he didn't care well
he's actually a suspect and was involved
in a number of shootings
in the area and you can read all about
it in the description now when our bad
guy says hey i'm going to tie you up
too and now he puts that gun on the
counter takes his finger off the trigger
and our
dude grabs the gun we actually have
audio of the 911 call synced to the
video here at this point
he's been shot twice the bad guy has
let's listen in from here

[Music]
here guys
took the room temperature challenge and
our victims were not harmed at all our
defender has been lauded as a hero
and that is where this one ends really
significant stuff there if you want to
work on the skill set that you will need
to do things like this one of the ways
you can do that is joining us on our
second youtube channel active self
protection extra
just search active self protection extra
instead of having the black background
with the white snake it's a white
background with a black snake
and hit the like button over there and
you'll get life-saving skill set
lessons every day like you get mindset
lessons here so there is a chance that
you walk in on an armed robbery like
this
and you are involved whether you like it
or not there's nothing you're going to
do about it and
once you walk into it you didn't see it
coming and all of a sudden you're into
it you may not be able to get out of it
so that's why mental preparation which
we do here on the main channel
active cell protection is so important
number two here i really think carry
your own gun
having to take this guy's gun away from
so far away was incredibly risky it
worked but so risky so much easier
if you have your own and can ventilate
this guy you know deal with the threat
immediately
without having to take his gun uh much
better uh
you know outcomes happen in that
instance so of course carry your gun
now then though pay attention see when
your opportunities arise
uh and and i do think that our defender
here
is absolutely got you know a
constitution of steel to to start his
counter ambush from this far away but
what we always say is that if you pay
attention attention could buy you an
option again give you a chance to
launch a counter ambush it did in this
case and if you go read the news story
our defender said hey i'm gonna go get
the gun the second i saw his finger off
the trigger
and him not paying attention but it
takes him a full
two seconds when he decides to go here
in order to get the gun
it was a miracle this is absolutely the
farthest away that i've ever seen
a disarm start from and that's because
the bad guy was looking away didn't see
it coming
very rare that it happens like this
remember in the 5ds plus one
we talk about the plus one being control
the distance and when you have two
seconds like this
then it was a miracle that our defender
didn't get shot and killed doing that
so you'd much rather do it from much
closer is a much higher play
a percentage play now he takes the gun
away and now it's our defender who has
the gun and the bad guy doesn't
okay now what are you gonna do number
one i think you should be a competent
generalist with handguns in general
not just the gun you carry but to know
generally how they operate
so that if god forbid this is what it
comes down to you take somebody else's
gun away you can
use it and use it effectively and even
if you don't want to use it
you can unload it show it clear get it
out of the system but number two think
about using deadly force here
guy's not armed at this point but he
does a good job of
getting some distance in this particular
case and i think that was tactically a
very wise decision
and then also uh you know again not
shooting in this moment
so remember you've taken the gun away
from the guy and turned it on him i
think it's totally okay to point a
firearm
at him here he's just been a deadly
threat to you and those things but from
a moral perspective
you know a good sane sober moral prudent
person
only uses deadly force as a last resort
and so he doesn't shoot here and i think
that's wise he's got distance i think
that's wise
but of course he does make a little
mistake here and we all make mistakes in
defensive encounters not giving him a
hard time
but he closes that distance and gets too
close to him know how to use your
retention positions on your firearm
because what happens here is then he
gets involved and invested in that
and the guy charges him and tries to
take the gun away from him and that
proximity
could have gotten him hurt again
thankfully he was able to maintain the
firearm and when that guy tried to take
the gun back away from him he shot him
twice and that perp took the room
temperature challenge
and i'm totally okay with that but it
might have been
avoided if he had simply kept distance
and i told the clerk to call 9-1-1 and
whatever now that said
the news stories say the guy said he
didn't care he had been on a shooting
rampage this guy's a psychopath of the
highest order
now next thing couple things i sped it
up for the sake of time here and number
one
no one is coming to save you took police
about three minutes to get there from
the time of the first 9-1-1 call
which is a very fast response they'll
tend to come lights and sirens of course
uh when you have a report of shots fired
and person down like this
but they're not going to get there in
time to help you in the threat never
expect them to get there in that time
you know the old adage says when seconds
count the police are minutes away
secondly you should know how to talk on
the phone with 9-1-1 of course
you know this clerk is emotional and i
get that and you know she's
she's worried and and you know she's sad
and all those things i get every bit of
that
but go over to our second channel active
self-protection extra we have several
videos
about the 9-1-1 call about what to say
to responding
uh you know dispatchers and those kinds
of things how to deal with the
responding officers
and i'd recommend that you learn that
information so that you do well at it
she did a pretty good job here of
talking to them but you know
again giving them that information and
this dispatcher i think did a pretty
good job of making sure that the cops
were primed that the perp was down and
that was good
now let's think about our good guy as
well when the cops finally do show up
i think he did a very smart thing here
is that he put the gun on the ground
i know you might say well what about the
perp and this and that probably would
have been better if our good guy had
moved a little
closer onto the middle of the screen
before he put the gun down maybe a
little earlier but
he didn't have a holster on his person
so he puts the gun on the ground puts
his hands up so that he
does not get seen as a threat to the
responding officers that's a very good
and correct answer of course
if he had his own gun and he had a
holster on him that was a good holster
probably even before this should have
holstered up kept his hand on his gun
when the cops get there put the hands up
don't even have to put it on the ground
that's the safest and best
but then he also does something really
excellent at the very end the officer
says
you know go on the other side of me so i
can go and he obeys those commands
they're going to put you on the ground
sometimes they might put you in cuffs
that is fine again as they get
everything figured out and settled down
they'll get everybody sorted out and
those kinds of things so i think this
defender is an absolute hero i think he
took the opportunity that he had
even though it made my heart go a
flutter because of how dangerous it was
i think he used deadly force only when
he needed to did excellently when
responding officers came let's learn the
lessons as well about colon 9-1-1
as we seek to cover our asp
