his own business checking a customer out
his door on the right is open though and
dude's going to come through it and bust
him right in the face and he is not
giving him any chance
to to try to comply and earn stuff he is
just going to absolutely destroy this
clerk and look at him using a leveraging
arm beat on him again and again and
again speeding goes on a good long time
as this clerk's trying to figure out
what to do he's gonna finally kind of
get the guy off him and draw a firearm
and shoot that guy one time shoots at
him several times hits him once the
clerk only had basically a bloody nose
out of this one the perp was hit one
time
and the police found him several miles
away he is now facing burglary and
battery charges the clerk is not facing
charges we're gonna think about some
lessons okay so what do you think
objective reasonable deadly threat let
me know in the comments and let's talk
about it in the lessons i really think
an important lesson out of this one is
that your security measures are security
theater unless you actually use them the
fact of the matter is the guy's door was
open and so he's inside this kind of
glass enclosure or you know plexiglas
enclosure but that's not going to help
you if you don't actually close the door
now i get it that you go well maybe it's
hot or whatever and i don't want to
because i don't want to you know be too
hot or whatever but those security
measures are there for a reason now you
know the time is off here it's not two
o'clock in the morning it's about 7 30
or 8 30 at night is what the news story
said but recognize that okay fine that's
trouble secondly here you may not be
able to see the first attack coming it
may be on you before you can do anything
about it and that's why emotional
fitness is so important and one of the
things that you actually learn on the
mats when you go and train and roll and
box and spar that you learn how to take
a punch that you learn how to how to
have emotional fitness to stay in the
fight even when you've been whopped a
few times like this guy is just getting
his butt kicked now notice here he gets
thrown to the ground couple things out
of this
number one this is one of the reasons i
recommend a high quality holster that
will stay on your person and just a
little bit of retention for the shake
test i know a lot of people that say
well i'm not gonna plan on doing jumping
jacks or barrel rolls or whatever in my
defensive fight but you may not be in
charge of that the bad guy gets a vote
in that too and this kind of grappling
in a weaponized environment
exists when you bring the weapon
now our dude couldn't get a gun out here
and i know a lot of people say well i'm
not gonna get in a fist fight that's why
i have a gun i'm just gonna you know
somebody threatens to punch me i'm gonna
just shoot him well he doesn't have the
ability to get a gun out here guys which
is why you need to have some standing
grappling skills and this is like dirty
boxing skills is what this is here which
is a different discipline entirely i do
want to note here the leveraging arm and
and note here that that's probably the
biggest thing that our victim that our
defender we're going to call him because
he ended up winning his day that our
defender is having a hard time with and
and our purpose using that leveraging
arm much like he would with a knife he's
trying to hold him in a place that he
can get after him with that right hand
and if you don't know how to defeat that
leveraging arm how to deal with it in
some way then though that guy's just
going to continue to wail a tune on you
and the way that you deal with it get to
the mats and learn that and work on that
under competent instructions tonight
it's easier done in a live environment
than on youtube now eventually he is
going to get some space and get his gun
in the fight i actually really want to
you know applaud this clerk for not
trying to draw his firearm when the guy
was beating a tar out of him because he
probably would have had it taken away
from him in that particular instance you
need to get a firearm out you need
positional dominance and the number one
positional dominance is distance as far
as a firearm goes number one positional
dominance is having distance and so this
guy waited until he created distance to
get his firearm out i do think it was a
disadvantage that he had it kind of in
his small of his back and wouldn't
recommend that now he gets the gun up
here and shoots this guy and shoots him
at least once we got to talk just a
little bit about the justification for
this generally speaking a guy punches
you in the face you draw a gun and shoot
him that's going to be considered
escalation from a physical conflict to
deadly physical conflict and you're
going to have a significant problem with
that but i think the totality of the
circumstances here that over a 30-second
period this guy had been hit several
dozen times had been thrown violently to
the ground and he says in the news story
that i've linked in the description that
he really felt like the guy was going to
beat him to death and and given the fact
that he had taken that much beating
given the fact that he had had had that
many uh traumatic wounds to his head get
that is that becoming a reasonable thing
that he would fear great bodily harm
probably so but i do want you to
recognize absent the evidence of man i
took a significant beating and the guy
just wouldn't stop and i was sure he was
going to come and keep beating me and
put me in the hospital you might end up
in legal trouble on this one last one
here is he goes
man not great technique here you notice
here he's got a gun out that's great
firearm is a fantastic force multiplier
and it really you know ups what we can
do and makes this guy who's not a
fighter into somebody who can fight off
a guy who clearly is an aggressive
fighter that said learn technique please
one hand on the gun like this gun below
the eyesight this is just panic firing
emotional firing it worked guy runs off
but it doesn't hit anything and if he
doesn't hit anything then it doesn't
stop threats and it endangers other
people learn how to get two hands on the
gun see your sides grip sights and
trigger we teach all that stuff over on
the active self protection extra channel
and in live fire classes
now then uh this looks to me at the end
like he doesn't have a holster for this
gun and and it does surprise me a little
bit if he didn't have a holster for the
gun that it didn't slide around and
leave his waistband when he got thrown
to the ground i think that was a huge
risk please hear me put your gun in a
quality holster that stays on your
person please do not just you know carry
and smaller back especially but anywhere
and and not carry with a quality holster
that passes the standards of a holster
we have an entire group of holster
makers we recommend on our website just
for that so then that way you can get a
quality holster because those kinds of
things are important thankfully it
didn't hurt him here but let's do better
than that i think this clerk showed
great emotional fitness stayed in the
fight even said that you know hey i had
to fight back against the guy didn't i
and then got his gun out at the right
time i think he was justified in his use
of force he covered his asp
