Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with retired Fort Worth, Texas Police Officer David Riggall as he tells us about the day a fleeing shooting suspect attempted to run down his partner and how he was forced to shoot. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the recently reopened federal lawsuit brought by Smith and Wesson against the State of New Jersey and why it matters to gun makers and owners nationwide. 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.
