Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self-defender Tyron Reid and discuss the day he was talking with a friend about an unpaid debt when a third party emerged and assaulted him with a pistol, striking him in the face and how Tyron stayed present in the fight, fought back and prevailed. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signing a law banning banks from dropping gun businesses after a major national bank capriciously closed the accounts of a small gun dealer.
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
