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

Hey gang, yet another episode sponsored by Palm Pepper Spray. Why Palm Pepper Spray? Because we've had a whole bunch of guests on the show who firsthand can tell you Palm Pepper Spray works. It is effective. It stops threats. Both animals and people, it is effective and it works.

0:22.5

And I'd rather have palm pepper spray than almost any other tool on me in any given time.

0:26.5

It will handle problems that nothing else will handle. It is my number one defensive tool I have on me at all time.

Well, already, gang, welcome back yet again to the actor's self-protection podcast. I am as always your

0:45.4

host, Mike Williver, and I remain your favorite former Fed with me today. A new friend of mine,

0:50.9

his name is Nathan. Nathan hails from Tupelo, Mississippi, actually originally from Wyoming, but he followed his young bride to Mississippi. He lives in Tupelo now. He is a father of one, and he builds furniture and hopes to pursue a career in law enforcement. He is married with one kid. As I mentioned, Nathan, how are you, sir? I'm doing great. How are you doing? I'm doing really well.

1:12.0

You know, he wrote in a while back, and as so many people say in their initial email, I just don't know. Gee whiz, Mike, I don't know if my story is worth an episode. And as I like to say, we won't know unless we talk. So we're talking. So if you're out there listening or watching on the app and you have a story or

1:28.2

you know someone who does and you're not sure if the story is worth an episode, we won't know until

1:32.6

we talk. So hit me up at Mike at active cell protection.com and we can find out. So you build

furniture, but that is not what you want to do for your career. Why are you interested in going

1:54.8

Yeah, so I've been interested in it for a long time. Originally, I wanted to join the military, but then

2:00.6

I got married and

2:02.5

had a son, so I'm more family-oriented now, and I think that law enforcement would be better,

2:07.7

and it's closer to the actual community that I'm in, and I just want to improve the community I'm in.

2:14.9

I know I can't change the world, but I want to get as close as that as I can.

2:19.3

And I just think I've always been centered towards the service of the community.

2:26.3
