remember friends when your car is
stopped it is a transitional space
[Music]
hi everybody Welcome to today's lesson
here at active Self Protection I'm your
host John Korea today's video comes to
us from Port Arthur in Texas Palm pepper
spray has recently reformulated for even
more effect when you bless the deserving
with the hot sauce Palm is what I use
between a harsh word and a gun and
encourage everyone to do likewise the
surveillance camera has audio here we
can see our victim who is closest to us
see his attacker already running towards
him he's just on his way to his truck
early in the morning like 5 a.m to go to
work let's listen in
hey man give me one another one
I got no money man I ain't got no money
come on man get down to the ground
come on man
dude has got his phone now and his
wallet and he's looking for his keys
let's keep listening in
[Applause]
you heard the robbers shoot multiple
times as they pulled out one of those
shots hit the victim in his arm
thankfully uh he's gonna recover fully
from that they did catch these robbers
and the dude is facing multiple felonies
and even apologized for his actions and
said he realized how wrong it was you
can check the news story I linked it in
the description but let's think about
lessons it's not too early to think
about joining us at this year's active
self-protection National Conference it's
the last weekend in September it's held
outside of Manhattan Kansas it's a
hundred percent a fundraiser to help
abused and abandon Foster teens ASP
makes nothing it's an incredible three
days of training where you will gain
immensely and help a good cause hit the
link in the description for info would
ya
yes your driveway is a transitional
space and you need to recognize you park
your car in your driveway whatever you
don't have a garage to put the car in I
totally get it I did that for you know
decades honestly and you've got to
recognize though that you are in a
transitional space now this guy's
already running up at this point so
again paying attention in transitional
spaces might have given this guy some
opportunity if he was appropriately
armed and all that but that's a lot of
ifs instead dude is running up so what
are you going to do at this point you're
probably going to comply and that's your
best bet I think in this case because
again dude is out has a gun on you and
and I think at that point if you're
trying to outdraw and you're drawn from
the drop and it's a bad spot next I also
want you to notice look at what happened
here with the leveraging arm is that our
attacker comes up puts his hand on his
victim and then pulls the gun back and
away so starting to disarm attempt from
there very difficult probably your best
bet at this point is purposeful
compliance
now that's not a universal strategy
doesn't always work but it's something
that you want to you know think about
and it is a strategy I would recommend
full compliance either resist fully or
comply fully because again just give him
what he wants you want my phone you want
my wallet you want my car keys okay man
take it all all yours whatever to give
you an opportunity to either get out of
the danger zone or whatever now he puts
his Dude down on his knees tells him to
get down and our victim does now I think
everybody needs to set the time that
says when am I going to fight no matter
what
personally I think that there are times
to think about number one being put on
the ground number two being tied up
number three being taken to a second
location those are all times where where
bad things really really happen quite a
bit so you got to think about am I going
to fight in that instance or am I not
going to fight in that instance and
that's a personal decision I think that
every person needs to think about that
before the moment comes and you think
nope if he tries to put me on the ground
I'm fighting no matter what might be a
boundary that you set and if you do then
you have to go with it now these guys
pull out of here and and they end up
shooting a whole bunch and I want to
recognize the fact that these guys are
you know absolutely this is an evil
thing there's just nothing about it but
this is evil and I want you to recognize
the fact that when you do comply even if
you give them everything that is putting
your safety in the hands of a felon as
your safety in the hands of somebody who
is willing to point a gun at you and now
we recognize willing to use that gun to
shoot you in order to steal your car are
your life is worth less to them than a
joyride in a vehicle
so I do not recommend we put ourselves
in the hands of a felon and somebody who
cares that little for you for your own
personal safety you might have to for a
moment but this is why we practice
attitude skills and plan in order to get
ourselves to safety and end the threat
as quickly as we can one final point I
want to make here is that our Defender
was shot through the arm thankfully you
know I think it went through and through
it didn't hit any arteries or anything
like that but a great reminder to keep
your medical equipment on your person as
well as your firearm as well as your
other defensive tools make sure you've
got your medical equipment on you make
sure that you know how to use it you've
had recent training and you know how to
stop the bleed in case something bad
like this happens to you I'm glad that
our homeowner is going to recover fully
I'm glad they're going to get their
truck back and all that stuff I'm glad
this purpose behind bars but let's have
the attitude skills and plan to stop him
before he hurts us and cover our asp
