Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with prepared self-defender Jake and discuss the day he had to jump into action with a 12-guage shotgun to defend his family from an intruder in their home. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss why the NRA is losing members at alarming rates and what it means to the defense of the Second Amendment.

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

He is in the printing machinery business. I'll let him explain that if he wants to. And is an army reservist. He has an interesting story to tell, one that I don't think has been told in this space yet. So I'm excited to hear. Jake, how are you, sir? I'm doing well. Thank you for having me on. So I feel like I'm either I'm old or everyone looks young to me these days. So about how old are you?
