Summary
In this episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Brevard County, Florida Sheriffs Deputies Tyler Toman and Brian Potters as they tell us about an intense and harrowing shootout during a traffic stop in August of 2021. Also we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski and discuss the latest Washington D.C. court case involving our old pal Mr. Heller as he fights the "Ghost Gun" ban there. 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.

| 0:25.4 | and for their product. Getting immediate measurable visual feedback takes so much time out of |
| 0:29.7 | the learning curve of dry fire. And this product is worth every penny. It's so inexpensive for |

| 1:07.4 | So from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Brian Potters and Deputy Tyler Toman. Tyler, how are you? I'm good. How are you, sir? I'm good. Brian, how you doing, buddy? Better not deserve. Aren't we all? All right. So if you haven't seen this video, it's on the main channel. It's one of the badge cams. I think we did it maybe a few weeks back as we're recording this. And it is, without a doubt, |
| 1:29.8 | one of the most insane shootout videos I've ever seen. And it's not particularly close. It was |
| 1:36.0 | very harrowing. It was hard to watch. Deputy Potters was shot in the incident. And it was just |
| 1:42.9 | a crazy, crazy scene. |
