Summary

In this episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Val Evans as she tells us about the night her police officer husband was at work when a deranged stranger burst into her home and how she was forced to use a firearm to defend herself and her young daughter. Also, we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com to discuss the confirmation hearings of United States Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and her potential views on the Second Amendment. 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.
