Summary

On this  installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss a story broken by The Reload about a leaked document regarding US firearms exports and about a recent ruling about Californias prohibited places for CCW holders. PLUS Stephen and Mike discuss sports (briefly) only to bring the topic back to guns.


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

0:58.1

So I don't, I don't, with a shadow band, it's really hard to tell what, what is going on or why.

1:03.8

It's what they call it a shadow band, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, it limits where who can see your, your, your tweets and whether you show up in search and, and whether your threads work and stuff. So it's not a great situation.
