Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with United States Marine and Security Contractor Gabe Tauscher as he tells us about the night he defended himself with his own firearm after being ambushed and shot 15 times at close range and about the long and painful road to recovery. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the recent decline in revenue and rising legal bills of the NRA and why its members should be demanding change at the top. 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 retired 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. Title music by Jorikbasov.
