Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self-defender William and discuss the night he and his family had just wrapped up game night when his wife noticed someone trying to break into their home and what transpired.
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 as he talks 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

| 0:00.0 | Well, already, again, welcome back to the active self-protection podcast. |
| 0:09.2 | I am once again your host, Mike Williver, and I remain your favorite, former Fed. |
| 0:13.7 | With us today, a new friend of mine. |
| 0:15.1 | His name is William. |
| 0:16.5 | William is in the great desert southwest. |
| 0:19.4 | He is a molecular biologist, so he's going to be |
| 0:21.8 | tied for probably smartest person ever to be on the show. And just, we could just sort of set |
| 0:27.0 | his intelligence level as IQ probably twice of mine. So that's if you want to need a general range. |
| 0:31.5 | That's what we're talking about. He is married with adult children. William, how are you, sir? |
| 0:36.6 | I'm doing fine. And I don't know that you'll think my intelligence is so high once we get |
| 0:41.8 | into the story, but we'll have a chance for that. |
| 0:43.6 | That's what we draw the line between intelligence and common sense. |
| 0:46.5 | Sometimes those two things are a little different. |
| 0:48.2 | We'll see, I have not heard his whole story yet. |
| 0:50.0 | He just gave me a general sort of outline in the email that he sent in. |
| 0:53.8 | So folks, let's thank him for writing in. Once again, I wouldn't have a show without guests. So thank you, sir. So let's start with your sort of general upbringing. Did you grow up, were you sort of steeped in self-defense, firearms, you know, any kind of martial arts, anything like that in your past as a young person? |
| 1:15.5 | I grew up around guns as a hunter. |
| 1:19.1 | Went hunting with my father first time when I was seven. |
| 1:23.9 | So I'm familiar with rifles and that sort of thing. |
| 1:28.0 | And from age six until 12, I did judo. |
| 1:33.1 | So I wouldn't say I'm steeped in self-defense hand-to-hand. |
| 1:38.3 | But certainly that's probably both on the firearm side and the martial arts side, that's more than the average person. |
