Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self defender Mike and discuss the night he and his wife were thrust into the middle of a life or death gun battle between police and two armed men. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss fifth circuits recent decisions regarding the pistol brace ban.

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
