when you are standing or walking by
stopped vehicles you must know that
you're in a transitional space

incident these guys are just gonna walk
up casually and that white car in the
middle of the screen is theirs and so
three guys and they're just gonna kind
of hang around and chill around their
vehicle for a couple of minutes now
we're going to change angles in just a
second because you're going to see kind
of coming down the hall to the right
there watch these couple guys show up
with guns already drawn and they are
going to shake all three of these guys
down and see the second one come around
the other side and the dude who's
closest to us is absolutely compliant
he's like okay man whatever you want the
other two guys are on the side of the
car they both get put down on the ground
by our first robber and now you know our
guy closest us gonna go all the way to
the ground but our dude is gonna stick a
gun right to his head while he you know
puts his hands up whatever they take all
their money and and cell phones and
stuff and they run off and thankfully
nobody was hurt there in our second
video you see these two girls just
walking down the street two dudes on a
moto one of them with a gun shows up and
one girl runs off and the other one
doesn't the one who doesn't loses her
phone now funny enough when he goes to
get back on the bike this car come and
tries to run him off and this dude
almost gets runs over
last one two people in this car and you
see the dude get out here i don't know
if that's a lady in the passenger seat
or whatever but another car is going to
roll up and he's going to kind of look
and look again and when that door opens
he bounces thankfully because there's a
dude with a gun there who doesn't see
the passenger gets back in the car and
they leave we get to think about a lot
of lessons here
pretty insane stuff if you want to get
better as a defender come over to our
second channel active self protection
actually literally give away a free
education over there every day of the
week covering legal self-defense
firearms skills tactics we talk about
gear reviews all kinds of great stuff
all for free second youtube channel go
train would you now from our first video
i have said this many times that your
car when it is stopped
is a transitional space anytime that we
have you know you're sitting in a
parking lot or something like this
you're in a transitional space and i
would not recommend it i get it you know
you live there it's your apartment
complex or whatever but these are the
kind of dangers that you have because i
don't know why these guys chose them i
don't know if they saw oh hey these guys
probably have some money or they're just
target of opportunity but at any rate
they are isolated and they're sitting in
a place where you expect people to come
and go and so it's a transitional space
and these guys end up getting jumped for
it they're not paying attention to their
world is probably the single greatest
thing so we always say attention buys
you time and time buys you options and
also that transitional spaces are
dangerous that is the two biggest things
here
that failed for these three guys you
can't do that if you're going to be a
self-defender
now also watch the trailing accomplice
here because our dude who's closest to
us kind of skirts out of there but he
gets kind of you know called in and
brought back by this the trailing
accomplice remember multiple attackers
make any self-defense encounter more
difficult by an order of magnitude you
know you're not just adding an extra
attacker you're you're adding a factor
of 10 to the difficulty is what that is
and at this point you know they're
completely out jumped right now so your
best bet is probably to wait your turn
purposeful compliance to wait your turn
in line even if you're armed now that
turn is going to show up because watch
right here the guys on the right hand
side you see the guy in the very back
there he's kind of snuck back behind
both robbers and both of their eyes are
not on him
so you when you are in an armed robbery
if you are armed if you're prepared to
defend yourself there very well likely
may be an opportunity for you to launch
a counter ambush but you have to be
ready for it and you have to be looking
for it and you have to be prepared in
terms of being armed and proficient with
your firearm if he was he had a great
opportunity here that there's no way
those guys are going to be able to get
at him as long as he has a two second
draw the first shot which he you know
again i suggest everybody does
but of course he doesn't get that so
eventually his time is going to expire
dude's going to grab him too and put him
down so if you don't take your turn you
may not get another turn and these guys
didn't get another turn i don't know if
any of them were armed to begin with so
thankfully they just got their stuff
taken here and nobody ended up hurt
which very easily could happen we see
that happen all the time but this one
that is what went down now
let's go on to our second one with the
two ladies here and they are paying
attention to their world but now we see
the two guys on a moto theme show up and
anywhere central south america caribbean
two guys on a moto is absolutely pretty
doing armed robbery and you can see the
guy on the back of the motor already has
that gun out and on these ladies but
they're paying attention a little bit to
their world so now what do you do well i
would say if you don't have your own arm
you don't want to
launch a counter ambush and draw from
the drop get out of the danger zone and
that's exactly what the girl on the left
did she runs while the other girl just
stands still so if you can't get out of
the danger zone then compliance may be
your best option that's really what we
see among these two here now i will say
this the girl who ran you could see her
kind of looking back and seeing what's
going on i wouldn't recommend that if
you're gonna run run with everything you
have don't just run away from danger run
to safety so run hard to get to a safe
place the gal who's who's kind of
getting frisked here okay well you know
you're just gonna have to give up your
phone your wallet and all those things
you got the drop on yet it does happen
you're not going to be able to defend
yourself in every scenario give them the
phone and and live to fight another day
go get yourself a new phone whole lot
cheaper than a hospital bill for a
bullet wound
now of course we also want to talk about
here this guy's going to go get back on
the moto but his buddy's going to leave
because the person jamming down the road
now is it morally acceptable to stop an
armed robbery in progress absolutely
is it authorized to use deadly force
like a fast-moving vehicle is to stop an
armed robbery absolutely it is but
recognize it's a non-zero threat you go
after this guy try to run him over he
may very well turn that gun on you so i
think it's morally good to step in there
and stop somebody and but and courageous
to do so but recognize it is
significantly dangerous and you want to
watch out for that because it might put
you in danger as well so just think
about that in advance before you step
into those kinds of problems thankfully
you know they didn't get anything else
here now this guy here has a passenger
to think about so so recognize that you
are in a transitional space you want to
get out of that transitional space as
quickly as you can but i love the fact
that this guy was paying attention and
he saw something that was out of the
ordinary would you expect a car to just
drive down the road yes would you expect
them to stop right next to you probably
not
so when something is out of order that's
when you go from condition yellow to
condition orange and condition orange is
not ready to fight conditioned oranges
something is out of place and i have to
go actively investigate it and so he's
paying good attention here now of course
you have a passenger in the vehicle so
what are you going to do when things go
bad you may end up having to stick your
foot in the ground and defend yourself
because your passenger can't defend
themselves this guy actually just ran
off instead and you can see the guy has
a gun right there and that of course
leaves his passenger completely you know
defenseless and sitting there in that
danger zone well
that that passenger may be able to well
defend themselves and that might be okay
but it may not be so you got to think
about if you have a non-defending spouse
or something like that you may want to
think through this idea of wait a minute
am i going to be the one to get out i
got to have the tools on my person i got
to be paying attention because i got a
kind of play executive protection detail
for them instead of just running off and
leaving them in the danger zone so three
really good videos here with three kind
of interesting different lessons let's
think about them and and drink them down
so that we can better cover our asp
