Summary

This week, in part 2 of this special episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we conclude our conversation with retired Arizona State Trooper Hugh Grant as he tells us about a simple pedestrian stop that resulted in him being brutally beaten and having to resort to using his service weapon to end the threat. And then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski and discuss a recent Ninth Circuit ruling regarding high-capacity magazines and the ABC News interview of actor Alec Baldwin in the wake of a tragic on-set firearms incident. 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.
