Summary
This week on part two of this episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with commercial pilot John as he tells us about the night he was visiting a friend when her ex showed up with an ax and attacked them both and how they both managed to survive and on through the legal aftermath.
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

| 0:00.0 | Last time on the active self-protection podcast. |
| 0:04.3 | I remember just hearing a lot of yelling and saying, what the hell you're doing here? |
| 0:09.1 | You could tell a difference in the tone of voice, too. |
| 0:11.7 | This is something serious. |
| 0:12.9 | And this is not a moment where I'm going to just go high. |
| 0:15.8 | And as I go to the door, he's already running up the stairs. He's clearly coming after me. |
| 0:24.0 | Well, all right, folks, welcome back to the Active Self-Protection podcast. I am yet again, |
| 0:28.0 | your host, Mike Willover, and you've heard this already, but it bears repeating, I am your favorite |
| 0:32.9 | former Fed. And back with us is John, his story had so many details that I thought, and I think |
| 0:39.7 | he would agree are interesting and useful that we decided to cut this into two parts. I won't be doing |
| 0:45.0 | this often. So though if you have comments for me about how you hate two part episodes, |
| 0:48.9 | I mean, type him if you want, but this isn't going to be regular things, just that John's story is |
| 0:53.5 | so detailed and there's so much in it that I wanted to make sure we give all the parts of the story, the credit and the important significance that they're due. So, John, welcome back. Thank you, sir, for coming back. I appreciate it. Oh, you're welcome. Thank you for having me on again. So people, if you're not sure, if we're really, if we really hung up the phone and called back another day, yes, we're wearing different shirts. I'm wearing my black comfy shirt. I don't know, John's wearing some sort of polo. So it is a different day. And it's Friday. So we need to get this interview done so I can go eat pizza. All right. So, John, why don't you tell us where we were? |
| 1:29.7 | I have a rough idea. You had been pretty brutally assaulted and you're now on the floor of an |
| 1:37.4 | apartment that, apartment home that you're not all that familiar with. And all of a sudden, |
| 1:41.7 | the police show up and kind of walk us to what happened at that point. |
| 1:46.6 | Sure. At this time, the police were securing the scene and the second set of officers came in |
| 1:55.0 | and one of the officers saw that I was so badly attacked and had seen this before because he served overseas |
| 2:05.6 | in Iraq and knew instantly he had to come and protect my head as I was already doing, but he knew |
| 2:13.8 | that he had to put more pressure on it than I was to help save my life here at this moment. |
| 2:19.9 | And this is when he slid to me, I realized something was serious, like even more so than before, |
| 2:30.3 | which is, I think is very interesting to note now. |
