here at active self-protection we learn
how to protect ourselves from criminal
behavior and today we learn from a
criminal how not to be stupid thanks for
joining us on today's active self
protection lesson I'm your host John
Correa today's video comes to us from
New York City in the United States
Liberty safes is America's number one
safe manufacturer with advanced features
a lifetime warranty and actual fire
tested fire ratings they're who I trust
not only to secure my firearms but also
my valuables check them out in the link
in the description dudes gonna walk into
this combination coffee shop and donut
shop and ice cream parlor and drop a gun
right out of his pants right there
doesn't seem to notice it until the
three transit cops from New York City
actually did notice it and are going to
take him into custody you can see the
gun there and one of the cops is going
to take that firearm
and you know safe it and they are gonna
take him into custody
he's a prohibited possessor multiple
time felon and drug user which is kind
of interesting so now one more time just
goes just guy walked in he's on the
phone and it's kind of got his hand
they're holding the gun and then it
drops out and he doesn't seem to notice
it until the police officers there
notice it didn't interrupt his phone
conversation at least what we're gonna
see again as one of the officers go okay
we better you know keep that firearm and
make sure that it's okay so you're gonna
see him strip the magazine out you
actually go there read the news story
linked in the description see the
firearm and see the fact that it was
loaded so you could see the officer put
the round in his pocket to maintain it
there lock the slide to the rear do all
that stuff they took him into custody
he's facing a whole host of charges
thankfully no one was hurt in this one
and that's where this one ends got to
admit the first time I watched that I
kind of waited for that guy to Plaxico
Burress himself but he does teach us
some significant lessons your support
the work we do here at active
self-protection do me a favor think
about becoming a channel member you can
join right here on YouTube it supports
the work that we do here every day and I
appreciate every single one of our
members think about some lessons here so
first thing I want to look at here is
his tell you notice a tell right here
that he is holding on to the front here
and and we see this all the time people
will check where their firearm is
whether they have a holster or not we
see people who are carrying a concealed
firearm that give us all kinds of tell
and one of the things is they will use
their hand and cover exactly where the
gun is you'll see people on the strong
side will cover over that side hitch
their pants up all the time and guys
doing this kind of stuff you know
pulling a Plaxico Burress here we'll try
to keep the gun in place by putting
their hand over it so something to pay
attention to you know if you're trying
to identify who might have a concealed
firearm in your presence and that's a
good thing to know secondly though it
falls right out because he is carrying
it without a holster friends I can't say
this enough now again thankfully this is
a bad guy so I'm not worried about him
but for good people we ought to
recognize that carrying a firearm
without a holster is stupid you must
have a quality holster that meets all
three of the requirements of a holster
and one of those requirements is that it
holds the firearm in place securely and
has no chance of falling off your person
this is why I don't like the sharkskin
holsters that don't stay necessarily on
your person especially if your body
shape changes like when you stand up
like when you sit down those kinds of
things they just don't do good has to
permanently attach itself to your waist
unless such time that you intentionally
take it off there and carrying it you
know like this just you know what they
call Mexican style or Mexican carry
because the company arrows used to not
carry with the holster in case they got
caught they could ditch the gun don't do
that right that's bad news
now next here you notice he doesn't even
notice the fact that he has lost the gun
cuz he is on the phone here and paying
attention matters in this particular
instance because I'm gonna tell you man
that the sound of a firearm hitting the
ground a large piece of metal like that
hitting the ground is pretty you know a
knowledgeable pretty understandable way
to see that there's a firearm around so
thankfully these officers were paying
attention to what's going on in their
space and our bad guy wasn't and
thankfully a lot of miscreants are
pretty stupid and so we do get up on
them from that now notice here that we
have multiple officers who are coming in
now he has just dropped a gun on the
ground
now we got a law enforcement issue or
whatever but just because he's dropped
the gun on the ground doesn't mean he's
not dangerous it could certainly be
dangerous and so these officers are wise
to get out there you can see them taking
very serious action and this one
officers got a hand out but also a hand
on his service weapon and that is okay
because he doesn't know what this guy's
intent he is here all we know is he's
fumbled a gun at this point he might
have been trying to draw that gun now we
know that he wasn't because of the
surveillance footage but they didn't now
they're going to get him into custody
this is the right thing to do oh okay
fine but recognize here with three of
them coming okay we got to get him into
custody that's gonna get a bunch but one
of the officers needs to secure that
firearm and I like that this guy did so
reminder to all of us in this particular
instance that you may only carry one
type of firearm but it pays to be a
competent generalist because a somebody
who's a firearms carrier should know how
to unload and show clear any firearm and
even if you're not a firearms carrier I
can't tell you enough in a nation with
450 million firearms in private hands
like the United States you should be a
competent generalist know generally how
to unload and show clear any firearm
while keeping it pointed in a safe
direction the officer did a really good
job here of keeping the muzzle oriented
to the ground not pointing it out
himself or to anyone else and unloading
it and showing it clear knowing how to
do that and practicing the rules of
firearm safety at all times is
incredibly important this officer did a
good job of that so thankfully this bad
guy is an idiot and they get him off the
street for a long time felon in
possession now shocker here last one
this guy a multiple time felon and yet
still had a firearm on his person I'm
sure that he was just doing good things
with that but it does remind me that
this is why I believe in the Second
Amendment to the Constitution in the
United States that it protects our
god-given right to self-defense because
bad guys don't care about laws they're
gonna do what they want to do so good
people need to be ready to protect
themselves against them thankfully these
three transit cops did a really good job
of getting that guy into custody did a
good job of practicing firearm safety
and we're aware and paying attention to
their world to get this guy they covered
their ass
