Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with prepared self-defender Micah and discuss the evening he went for tacos at his favorite taco truck and witnessed a large disturbance and had the presence of mind to get out of the area ahead of a terrible drive-by shooting that took the life of an infant and injured several more children. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll indicating a shift in Americans support for so-called assault weapons bans. Latest article on shooting: https://patch.com/arizona/phoenix/man-arrested-connection-food-truck-shooting-mesa-police 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
