Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Juan Rivas as he tells us about the night he was sitting at home minding his own business when a random gunman shot him through his own front door and about how his faith got him through that night and the long and painful aftermath. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the Canadian AR-15 ban and confiscation and why it matters to Americans. 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.

He is in real estate in the Phoenix area, and we are pleased to have him on the show. He has a pretty harrowing tale to tell. It isn't the best outcome, but that's okay. We want to learn all the lessons, not just the fun ones where everything turns out perfectly in the end. We want to hear all the things and learn all the lessons we possibly can, and I think it's pretty cool that he would be willing to come on and talk about this one.
