Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with father and self defender Jason and discuss the day he took his young daughter to Balboa Park on a beautiful day in San Diego to ride her E-Bike when the day turned ugly as she was accosted by a stranger and things went terribly wrong.
Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting. Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com

A new friend of mine, his name is Jason. Jason is in the greater San Diego, California area. He was just telling me that it's 70 degrees in sunny. It's always, it's always sunny in San Diego, by the way. I was just talking to Gotowski about the show it's always sunny in Philadelphia, and it's not true. It's not always sunny in Philadelphia. But it is in San Diego. Jason, how are you, my friend? I'm doing great. How are you doing the day? Not too bad.
