Summary
This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Todd Springer and discuss the night he and a friend stopped for some snacks and were threatened with carjacking by the occupants of the car parked next to them. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the Centers For Disease Control's recent decision to remove defensive gun use statistics from their website after conferring with gun control groups in off-the-books meetings.
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. Music: bensound.com
