Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Colorado Police Officer and SWAT Team member Quinn Cuningham and discuss his first-hand account of responding to an active shooter in a high school and how that incident encouraged him to seek better and more effective solutions to the issue. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the new gun control legislation moving through the senate.

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.
