Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with prepared self-defender “Q” and discuss the day he decided to get involved in what appeared to be a kidnapping in progress and how ones perception is key in articulating your actions after the fact. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss how a couple in Colorado had to bear the cost of attorneys fees after a failed lawsuit related to the firearms industry.
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

| 1:06.8 | I am once again your host, Mike Willow, and I am your favorite former Fed. Fun fact, I was a local cop for a brief period of time before that. So I can't be your favorite former cop because I didn't do it long enough. I didn't retire as a cop. So that's just a little, a little trivia for you at home. Folks, we are joined this week by a man who's going to go by Q, just the first letter of his first name. So we're going to go with Q. |
| 1:28.9 | He lives in Western Kentucky. And he is currently in law enforcement. The incident he's going to |
| 1:34.6 | talk about today actually stems from an incident before he was LE, so that'll be of some interest to |
| 1:39.9 | us. Q, how are you, sir? I'm doing good, Mike. How are you? I'm doing great. A pleasure. I said to him before he hit the record button how much I appreciate |
| 1:48.4 | him writing in and being willing to share a story. I have not heard his story, just a very, |
