Summary

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Las Cruces, New Mexico Police Officer Adrian De La Garza and discuss the awful day that a New Mexico State trooper was murdered in cold blood and how Adrian and his fellow officers hunted down the suspect and the violent conclusion once he was stopped. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss the a United States Supreme Court case that is pending and how it could affect American gun owners.

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
