Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with corrections officer and loss prevention specialist Jim and discuss the day a routine shoplifter put up a fight and how Jim had to resort to OC gel and even drawing his firearm before it was over. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the likelihood of the new assault weapons ban passing through congress successfully. 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

Hey, gang, I guarantee if you're watching the main channel, you're seeing these videos of people in self-defense encounters all the time. People start bleeding, they start bleeding fast. We as self-defenders should be interested in all the tools that can protect and preserve innocent life. And good trauma can do that. It's just as important as a fire, maybe more so. Listen, trauma is trauma. Whether it's a vehicle accident, a farming accident, or a gunshot wound.

When seconds count, you need the right equipment for the job.

Former Fed with us today is my new friend Jim. Jim hails from the West Coast. He is a law

All right.

So first question I generally tend to ask is, do you have a lifelong background

1:31.2

in self-defense, firearms? Did you grow up around guns, that sort of thing? I did. My father taught me
