Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Corban Serna and his attorney C.J. McElhinney and discuss the night Corban was awakened in the middle of the night by the sounds of a violent domestic assault and how his response ended with one man dead and Corban in handcuffs. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss several developments regarding AR-15s and the outstanding police response to the recent Nashville school shooting.

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
