Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with proud immigrant and business owner Fernando and discuss the day a customer returned a rental car to his business and decided that it made sense to pull a gun when confronted with unforeseen charges.
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 | Well, all right again, welcome back to the active self-protection podcast. |
| 0:09.5 | I am once again your host, Mike Williver, and I remain your favorite former Fed with us today. |
| 0:14.1 | A new friend of mine, his name is Fernando. |
| 0:15.7 | Fernando comes from, coming to us from Miami, Florida, and he is the owner-operator of a luxury car rental place. |

| 0:26.9 | I'm short. |
| 0:27.7 | Do you have panamaras? |
| 0:28.9 | I need to ask that, first and foremost. |

| 0:35.2 | Very good. |
| 0:35.7 | That'll work. |
| 0:36.8 | Nothing electric, please. I only deal with petrol powered cars. So first of all... That's the same here. In our policy, it's the same. Very good. How are you, sir? Thank you for reaching out. Thank you. Thank you. I'm great, by the way. How are you? I'm good. So, you know, I don't usually like to have a long conversation with a guest before we hit the record button, but I kind of had to because I've had a lot of guests lately. And a lot of the stories have sort of been conflated in my head. But Fernando and I spoke for a few minutes before we hit the record button. And his story is very interesting and very nuanced and different than any other story we've had on. So I think it's going to be an |
| 1:14.6 | excellent episode. So before we begin, you mentioned in our sort of pre-interview, you mentioned |
| 1:20.2 | that you ended up getting a firearm and a permit around the pandemic time. Is that accurate? |
| 1:29.9 | Correct. Yeah. And what was it about that period of time in particular that made you feel like it was a good time for you to go |
| 1:34.4 | out and do that or something you needed to do? I think it was times of uncertainty, a lot of |
