About this episode
What happens when you make all the right choices—and still lose everything? In this powerful episode of Gun Talk Nation , host Ryan Gresham sits down with Neil and Stephanie Weidner from Active Self Protection (ASP) to unpack real-life stories of self-defense, legal battles, and the brutal consequences that sometimes follow doing the “right” thing.
