Listen, There is no perfect “DIY” example on how to deal with an armed robber.
That’s a PRECARIOUS situation anyway you slice it.
The Standard Response has always been if it’s only money or valuables they are after, give it to them, none of that shit is worth getting shot or killed over.
But this Video brings up some interesting points:
If you KNOW the people around you have got your back when the shit kicks off you are FAR more likely to go for the DISARM! All it took is for one guy to show some BALLS and BOOM! It was like a 19th Century Peasant Uprising!
Even though there were TWO robbers, it appears only one of them was armed with a gun. You notice when things jump off, the second robber saw the score immediately and FLED!
If you are not armed, never discount Improvised Weapons. Always be on the lookout for them wherever you are! Pool cues, broom handles, chairs, etc.
According to a good friend of mine who works in Central and South America, the street thugs there are often armed with homemade or really shitty “throw-away” firearms that are barely functional. The people who live in these areas are aware of this fact!
Sites like Impro Guns show you what kind of DIY modified street weapons are floating around out there.
