On this first installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss his recent need for defensive firearms for the protection of his family and the insane order by the Governor of New Mexico banning public carriage of legally owned firearms and how parties on both sides of the aisle pushed back against it.

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
