This is the Concealed Carry podcast, episode number 228.

And welcome to the Concealed Carry podcast, part of the Concealed Carry.com network.

I am your host, Riley Bowman. Today I am

joined by Mr. Matthew Marister. Hey, Riley, how are you doing? What's up, man? Mr.

Producer and co-host? That sounds too official, man. Well, it is official. You know, as producer,

you were tasked with finding and

reaching out to and setting up interviews with interesting people. And today's interview is

certainly one of those. So, I mean, I've been trying to get people that I find interesting

and I hope that, uh, you know, I'm kind of on the pulse with the,

with the listeners and they'll find them interesting too. I'm pretty sure this is a no-brainer.

I think they're going to love this one, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. So just to preview it a little bit,

guys and gals, today's interview is a special interview with, it's another one of our kind of DGU or justified save type interviews, okay?

So this is really awesome, fantastic stuff.

But this story takes a little bit different turn than many of other stories typically do.

Because this is not one where, I mean, yes, he did the right thing.

He drew his weapon. He defended

himself. All of that went successful. But then he found himself arrested and charged with pretty

serious crimes. I think it was about seven felonies that he was facing a lot of years in prison

and was fortunate to, with a good attorney, to get him off of all this stuff and ultimately

be exonerated.

He's written a book about his experience.

We'll talk about that.
