Summary

In this episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with James Kilcer as he tells us about his run-in with a trio of would-be armed robbers and how he was able to disarm them and prevent a gas station robbery. Additionally, we sit down with reporter Stephen Gutowski and do a deep dive regarding the tragic on-set firearms accident that wounded a Hollywood director and took the life of a young woman. 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.
