Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Active Self Protection viewer and self-defender Eric and discuss the night he went to the grocery store for some late-night treats and ended up OC spraying an attacker who was trying to assault him and steal his car. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the Hero Of Greenwood Mall in Indiana and how recently relaxed CCW laws may have helped him save the day.

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. Title music by Jorikbasov.

The guy in the video, you can see that there's a guy that kind of came back around my car from the back end of my car.

0:05.7

And the weird thing was is that he was approaching me, but he didn't say anything.

0:10.1

And he kept on getting closer and closer, and he didn't say anything.

Hey, gang, I guarantee if you're watching the main channel, you're seeing these videos of people in self-defense encounters all the time. People start bleeding, they start bleeding fast. We as self-defenders should be interested in all the tools that can protect and preserve innocent life. And good trauma gear can do that. It's just as important as a fire, maybe more so. Listen, trauma is trauma. Whether it's a vehicle accident, a farming accident, or a gunshot wound, when seconds count, you need the right equipment for the job. You must get your trauma gear from a reputable source and Mountain Man Medical as ASP's go-to source for all of our medical gear. Go to Mountain Manmedical.com and let them know you heard about them on the ass podcast. Again, just some quick housekeeping. Today's guest, his video was featured back on July 15th.

0:56.8

There was a bit of a mess up with the scheduling.

0:58.8

That was my fault, not John's.

1:00.5

So, today's guest, video on the main channel on the 15th, back on 15th of July.

1:07.1

And last week's guest, his video will be out sometime in the next week or so. So look for that on the main channel. My apology for the mix-up. But anyway, here we go. Enjoyed this episode. All righty, game. Welcome back to the Active Self Protection podcast. I am your host, Mike Williver. I am your favorite. Former Fed with us today, a young man by the name of Eric. Last name will be redacted along with any

1:28.7

their information because, well, he wants to keep his anonymity. So Eric's video is, excuse me,

1:35.4

Eric's incident was caught on surveillance camera and I think we're going to have John breaking that

1:40.8

down on the main channel the same day this comes out. So give that a look on the

1:45.6

main active self-protection channel. Eric, I want to thank you so much for being here. Okay, well,

1:50.9

thank you very much for having me. I really appreciate it. I think it's a very, very interesting

1:55.9

opportunity. And thanks for having me on board today. Oh, my pleasure. So his incident, which we'll get to just a moment, happened a few years back.

2:06.4

He was in a parking lot and was attacked by two people and was able to successfully, more or less,

2:15.3

defend himself from any serious injuries.

2:16.9

So that's,

2:24.0

it's a, it's a happy-ish ending. You know, no one wants to be assaulted or, or robbed, but he came out of it in one piece. So that is the, that is the lesson we're trying to

2:28.4

to help people learn today. So tell us, Eric, prior to this event, were you at all a firearms person, self-defense-oriented person?

2:37.2

Was that something you thought about with any regularity?

2:40.0

Well, here's, okay, so here's the funny part.
