On this installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss some of the new rules laid out by the BATFand explain how they could actually streamline the gun buying process and fundamentally change the way people purchase firearms.

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.

Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth.
