Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self defender and U.S. Navy veteran John and discuss two incidents involving an angry neighbor and how he responded when the neighbor threatened to shoot and kill his dogs.
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

| 0:12.2 | I just got my hot little hands on one of these things. |
| 0:15.1 | And Lord, oh, Lord, is there anything more fun than using your Mantis system to practice dry fire? |

I don't know any other system that does it quite like that. But it's just fun to do. They've gamified, video gamified it sort of. What is it exactly? It's an inert training pistol, right, with a realistic |
| 0:37.8 | form factor, a resetting trigger, and a laser that's fired when the trigger breaks. And then you |
| 0:43.4 | have an app that's free to download for iOS or Android. It interacts with that. It is such a good |
| 0:49.8 | time. Train like you fight with Mantis. Get the Titan X. Go to MantisX.com and let them know the Active Self-Protection podcast sent you. |

| 1:22.7 | you. I enjoyed our pre-brief. You know, we have the best guests and the best fans here at the Act of Self |
| 1:27.9 | Protection podcast. And Asp in general just attracts all the right people. I'm just rarely |
| 1:33.0 | disappointed with the interaction I have with anybody, whether it's an email, a podcast guest, |
| 1:37.5 | someone who recognizes me at Mod Pizza and wants to come over and say hi. So thanks, everybody, |
| 1:42.4 | for being awesome and not sucking. All right. So you said, |
| 1:46.0 | you told me you're in safety management. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that my job is |
| 1:51.1 | basically to try to prevent injuries, whether they're, you know, serious or extremely minor, |
