If you value what we do at ASP, would you consider becoming an ASP Patron Member to support the work it takes to make the narrated videos like these armed robbers getting their just desserts? https://get-asp.com/patron gives the details.

This, friends, is the way we want every armed robber to end up. Here we see Daniel Gaskey, a Texas firefighter and inactive Marine (there’s no such thing as a “former Marine”, as my USMC combat-veteran pop and grandpa always say) definitely practiced Active Self Protection to protect himself and everyone else in the store! I would say the people of Midlothian, TX have a special guy working for them, wouldn’t you?

This "Best of ASP" narrated video first appeared on our website in July 2015!
