Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Tennessee auto shop owner Tim Rodifer and discuss the day a criminal jumped in a customers truck and how when Tim tried to stop him he was dragged across the parking lot and partially run over. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and continue our discussion of the far-reaching implications of the recent Supreme Court Bruen decision and how that has reaffirmed Americans constitutional right to carry a gun outside their homes and made invalid all manner of local and state firearms bans.

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. Music: bensound.com
