"I Did Everything Right... And I'm in Jail”

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 Stephannie 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.

You’ll hear firsthand accounts of self-defense encounters gone sideways, including jaw-dropping analysis of viral videos like the infamous "snow shovel murder."

Key themes explored:
Why good people hesitate—and how it can cost them
The “My Bad 20” method to de-escalate road rage
What millions of ASP video views reveal about human behavior in crisis
How to mentally prepare BEFORE a violent encounter occurs
The life-saving value of decision-making under stress (force-on-force training)
Why building your personal “if-then” card catalog could save your life
