Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Active Self Protections executive staff and discuss the year that was with the YouTube channel, national conference and more. Then we have three past podcast guests come back on to discuss what has happened since their appearance on the podcast. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the future of The Reload.
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 and the rest of the ASP staff as they talk 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
