Summary

In this episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with retired soldier Marty Thompson as he tells us about how he was able to intervene in a violent domestic dispute and was forced to use his firearm to protect himself and his friend. He discusses his specialized U.S. Army training and experience and how that provided him with the attitude, skills and plan to protect an innocent woman. 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. Title music by Jorikbasov.
