sometimes in the comments I hear people
say gee John carjacking shootouts don't
happen in the US really welcome to
today's act of self-protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from Berean Washington in
the United States the new mantis x10
firearms performance system has all the
goodness of the original Plus holster
draw analysis and recoil analysis it's a
fantastic upgrade and I recommend it
highly
homeowners sitting in his SUV there on
the right we see these guys are gonna
pull up behind him and he's just another
normal day where he's getting into his
car or whatever get out of his car
actually as he's come home and they come
up pile out of the car pointing a gun at
him now he's gonna kind of paw away at
that gun but then when he realizes
there's multiples okay guys you can have
it that's fine it's all yours whatever
well he has a CCW as well draws his
firearm here and starts firing back at
them as he runs off they're gonna fire
some shots at him as well and then get
in his car and take it and run off he
was uninjured they were uninjured in
this gunfight as they are going to run
off thankfully the homeowner was able to
get away now they did use this SUV in
two other armed robberies that I have a
little bit of video here where they
taken and put a gun at this clerks head
and the cops did catch these two one of
them got bit by the k-9 but they got you
know more robberies done here they did
recover the car these two suspects ended
up being 16 years old and that is where
this one ends pretty crazy scenario all
the way around if you want to get better
in self-defense particularly using your
firearm well join us at the asp national
conference at the end of september
outside of Manhattan Kansas link in the
description with all the details and all
to help a good cause out of today's
video I want to think about waiting your
turn in a carjacking I also want to
think about using your firearm
effectively and about getting out of the
danger zone as fast as you can so let's
think about the dangers of transitional
spaces here when your car's parked in
the driveway and you are sitting in your
car you better pay attention to your
world because this is where attacks
happened now I'm not telling you to be
you know paranoid or anything like that
I am telling you to pay attention to
your world because that is a necessary
skill when you're getting in and out of
the car you tend to be paying attention
to inside the car as you gather up your
things or get your things situated in
order to travel I would encourage you
instead pay it
into your world somebody just pulls up
and stops in your you know in your
street behind you in your car you might
could have a problem particularly as a
CCW holder here you want to be paying
attention to your world so that if you
end up having to defend yourself you can
do exactly that and that's exactly what
ended up happening to this guy here so
he had his tool on him but you know
because he really wasn't then the first
time that he knew something was weird is
when the guy jerks his door open and
sticks a gun in his face now notice here
that our good guy paws at the gun if
you're going to defend yourself with
your hands go Full Tilt boogie don't
just pull out it's totally a human
nature to do that and just kind of try
to smack the muzzle away however that's
an incredibly dangerous way to do things
because guys just gonna pull the gun
back exactly like happened here
thankfully he's not a killer in this
instance and so he's not just gonna
shoot him for that but can happen in
this instance now could either drawn a
gun here probably not because again you
gotta wait your turn in a carjacking or
an armed robbery so he instead complies
and looks for his opportunity I think
that's incredibly wise sees these guys
and now they're not paying attention to
him there's two guys here they're paying
attention to themselves and stealing the
guy's car so you see he starts to make
that movement to drop now what we're
gonna see in a little bit is we're gonna
see him running off and shooting I think
in this instance if he decides hey I'm
gonna get after these guys one single
hard lateral step and a quick draw and
putting some shots in these guys
probably would have ended the threat a
whole lot faster so learning that in
quality classes rather than shooting
over your shoulder as you're running
away one-handed but you didn't hit
anybody and put him at risk actually put
at least one of the shots in the car if
you go watch the the news story here so
knowing how to get a Counter ambush and
when to counter ambush incredibly
important in a defensive gunfight so he
gets a gun out and I think in this
instance rather than shooting back this
way at the guys like this probably
better off to just get out of the danger
zone
as quickly as he can again that the news
story said that he actually curled
around and took cover behind this gray
car so he shoots a few shots at the guys
and and with very little hope of hitting
them as he's just kind of basically
firing over his shoulder marksmanship is
incredibly important so the I think the
right counter ambush would have been
standing there at the door if he chose
to run like he did keep running and just
get the heck out of the danger zone sure
get your firearm out no problem in case
they decide to start firing at you and
you decide to fire back but probably not
the best thing here to just be firing
over your shoulder because again that
made the bad guy decide he's gonna fire
some shots in which direction is he
firing them towards your house where
your family and you
loved ones are so that's not what I
recommend friends so if you're gonna get
in a gunfight you don't want to actually
get in a gunfight you want it to be a
defensive shooting so what was his best
opportunity there when he was close and
the guy wasn't paying attention to him
but he's still a deadly threat to him
that was probably the better choice so
knowing how to counter ambush correctly
knowing that good marksmanship
fundamentals and understanding how to
get that gun out quickly and get a first
shot off accurately and quickly
incredibly important the most important
skill to winning a gunfight now they're
gonna get away with this car I'm okay
with that guys this is just a car
insurance claim right so this is a five
hundred dollar deductible a thousand
dollar deductible whatever much cheaper
than losing days at work because you end
up in the hospital cuz you got shot or
god forbid your family has to pay for
your funeral or whatever they're gonna
get away with this guy's car okay fine
I'm not gonna defend my stuff with
deadly force however in this instance
when they were on him of course it was
not defending his stuff it was defending
himself that he was after so that's a
hundred percent and truly justified and
I have literally no problem with that
but let him go I mean don't just fire
wildly at them as they're going I get it
that it's your car I get it that it's
your stuff I get it that it's offensive
for them to do that
but unless your family's in there it's a
whole different story if your family's
in there let it go I do want to talk
about this last bit because I know
somebody's gonna say yeah but John he
didn't end up ending the threat and so
they were they went and endangered other
people and hurt other people and so he's
morally and legally responsible for that
a he's not legally responsible for it at
all there's zero legal responsibility
for what somebody else does they're 100
percent legally responsible for it as to
whether you're morally responsible for
it again I believe they're morally
responsible for it that my moral
responsibility is to me and my family
and to be a self defender if you choose
to accept the moral responsibility as
somebody who is non-sworn
somebody who is sworn a sworn law
enforcement officer has a duty to
protect the public but even them
off-duty don't have a moral duty to to
stop anybody from ever committing crimes
in the future so I don't think they have
that and those clerks in those instances
also have the right and the duty and the
responsibility to protect themselves
however some may feel that moral
responsibility even more the case if
that you do feel that moral
responsibility for you to keep your
tools on your person know how to counter
ambush effectively know how critical
marksmanship is and how to launch that
counter ambush effectively so let
think about paying attention in our
world the danger of transitional spaces
the danger that multiple attackers can
face launching a counter ambush
successfully the critical nature of
marksmanship getting out of the danger
zone and let's think about our moral
responsibility as we cover our ASP
