Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self defender Ben and discuss the day he was trying to go to the corner store when a shirtless, angry man decided to threaten everyone around him and how his quick action and POM pepper spray saved the day.

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

0:00.0	Well, all right again, welcome back to the active self-protection podcast.
0:09.3	I'm yet again, your host, Mike Bolliver, and I remain your favorite former Fed with us today.
0:13.6	A new friend of mine, his name is Ben.
0:14.9	He hails from Long Island, New York, or, as the local say, Long Island.
0:20.2	He is married, married with two kids kids and I'll leave it to you
0:24.2	if you want to tell the folks where you work and what you do there that's up to you yeah as
0:28.5	it going so Ben uh yeah Long Island New York I work for the Long Island Railroad and uh that's
0:35.1	that's about it right on cool so Ben reached out with with a video. And we try to time the release of the videos on the main channel if we have a podcast guest in the video to come out the same day. That's getting increasingly more difficult. So at some point, the video is either going to come out after you hear this or it has come out already, but go look for it over on the main channel.
0:55.9	I don't know what the title is going to be yet,
1:11.8	but John has a lot of work to do. He has a lot of videos to record. So he'll get to that as soon as you can. With that said, sir, your incident involves a successful use of pepper spray. Spoiler alert, OC spray. Can I ask, and I haven't asked you this yet, you can call me a liar.
1:16.7	Was it Palm Pepper Spr spray or some other brand? It was palm pepper spray. I actually had another brand previous to that. I got palm because of how highly you guys speak of it.

1:26.6	is superior to the other one that I had.
1:29.1	And, you know, when I started carrying it, I thought for sure I would never, ever have an opportunity or have to use it.
1:36.5	And, you know, six months of carrying it and I was proven, proven wrong.
1:40.5	But in the best possible way, and here's why, because we talk before we hit the record button,
1:45.2	obviously you know that.
1:46.3	We always do.
1:48.0	But I was saying to Ben before we hit the record button, look, if people would, you know,
1:51.5	if police officers would have the same attitude about OC spray that Ben appears to have,
