Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with defender Steven and discuss the morning he was at a church service when an angry father barged in and started heading towards the children’s area in an apparent attempt to kidnap his estranged children and how Steven successfully stopped an abduction with quick thinking and OC spray. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the recent NRA annual meeting and the goings-on there. PLUS a bonus discussion of Stephen and my first in-person meeting, how much thinner he looks in person and the terrible pizza we choked down.

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

1:39.8	I'm good. Thank you. It's a pleasure to have you. Again, I always say this, but it bears repeating. I appreciate you writing in.
