About this episode

The episode discusses the confusing stance of the DOJ on gun policy with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski.

On this installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss what The Reload calls the schizophrenic nature of the DOJ's current stance on guns and the 2nd Amendment. 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
