Summary

On this installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss a suit brought by Sig Sauer attempting to force a Washington state law enforcement body to un-ban their P320 pistols from it's ranges and then we talk about a recent ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island upholding that state's ban on openly carrying a firearm.

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
