This week in part one of this two-part episode of the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Federal Agent and tactical team member Jeff and discuss the day he and his partners faced down a human trafficker armed with an AK-47 and the perilous shootout that ensued. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss a new Associated press poll about the publics desire for more gun control laws.

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
