This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Texas Police Officer Nathan Gadsen and discuss the day he and his partners went up against a desperate criminal armed with an illegally-altered, fully-automatic pistol. We hear about how despite Officer Gadsen and several of his friends and partners being shot, they all stayed in the fight. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss the passage of an assault weapons ban in the United States House of Representatives and the likelihood of that legislation making it to a vote in the Senate.

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
