On this  installment of the Gutowski Files we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of thereload.com and discuss two posts over at the Reload, one about the state of Texas apparently legalizing short barreled (or "sawed-off) shotguns on the state level despite them being listed on the NFA and why they would even do this and then the Supreme Court's recent denial of certiorari in two high-profile second amendment cases and what that might mean.

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 Video Intro by Joe Russo
