Today Dec 28 2024, I finished every episode of Self defense gun stories. Thank you Rob Morse and every gust that you had on. I learned from each and every one of them. I found your podcast when I just bought my first gun for CCW here in California. Especially for when I’m running my family’s small business. Through this podcast I learned 1. What’s required to legally own and carry a gun. 2. Through the stories when I can/can’t use my gun 3. What to do after the confrontation happens 4. How to be when the police arrive 5. The legal repercussions that may follow. The first thing after getting my gun, besides getting a good quality holster, is getting a membership through USCCA and using the resources through them. Now I’m confident in being able to defend myself, my family, and my employees with this podcast. Thank you for creating this podcast and doing what you do. I regret not finding this earlier and giving you this review when you were still active putting out podcasts because I know how much you like reviews lol. Thank you

I’ve been listening to your show for years. I recently began sharing with some people close to me and it is great to listen, learn and discuss as we absorb the breakdowns and lessons. Your show and Active Self Protection (YouTube) are must haves for those serious about protecting themselves and those around them. Thank you for all the work and lessons you’ve shared over the years.

Your podcast is one of my favorites. It definitely helps to hear how others handle these life or death situations. I would however like to hear some of the mistakes that people make that gets them arrested. A final decision by the DA to prosecute or not, even better. Keep up the great work!

Straight forward info how/why to protect yourself. The reinforcement of best practice self defense is priceless. I greatly appreciate the education of talking to law enforcement post incident.

this podcast has helped me know what to do if I ever have to use a firearm in self-defense.

This is exactly what people who carry need. Really well done. Please keep it up

Great accounts of self defense situations. Like the various guests

I just love the way the stories are told and the way they break it down afterwards.

If you are an armed protector this is an amazing resource and all for free! A must listen.

This show continues to help me mentally prepare for a self defense situation and keep a solid home defense plan in place. Job well done!

Rob, I’ve been listening to this podcast for about 6 months now. This show is great for anyone who wants to responsibly protect themselves and the ones they care about. I wouldn’t have imagined the great number of times that firearms are used daily in the US for self-defense. The constructive criticism that you and the guest instructors give after every situation is helpful, and I’m wiser for it. Please keep up the good work! -Jason Black

There are more than 320 podcast episodes (about 100 hours) of self-defense education presented in real-life situations. Not only do Rob Morse and his guest instructors inform their listeners about how to defend themselves, they also entertain them. They present hundreds of life-saving lessons that will add to your “Library of Responses” so you don’t freeze during a critical situation. You will learn from the successes and the mistakes of others. And best of all, the lessons are FREE!

Love the Short news stories and recommendations and comments about the news stories

This is easily my favorite self defense podcast. Each story paints a picture so that the listener can ‘dry fire’ in their mind how they would respond to each scenario. I’ve referred this podcast to of my several friends and clients who carry a firearm. Well done!!

Even though I've been shooting for the past 3-4 years, I still consider myself new to the firearm / self defense community. I LOVE this podcast and try to never miss an episode. I think this podcast is a great source of knowledge as far as training tips, what to do & not to do in a SD scenario. I try to share every episode on Twitter & FB as I finish listening to them. Thanks so much for all of your hard work!

Great information. I too have hade to use a firearm to hold a home intruder until law enforcement could arrive. No shots fired. Everyone was on the second floor sleeping. 1:06am he got a trespassing fine. One door was unlocked. He spoke Spanish and could no communication could be made. He was not afraid of me and my firearm.

A great podcast that is not aggressive and very informative. I enjoy listening very much when I’m cleaning my guns after range and practice time. A lot of the information makes me feel good about the practice I do(frequent dry fire, range time, ect). This has easily become a favorite podcast of mine. All the guests are great as well.

I listen weekly. I like hearing stories about people using their weapons in different situations. Then how you guys break down what they did right and wrong in each situation. Keep up the good work!!!!

Great podcast. Brief yet impactful. Always there or four golden learning opportunities in every episode. Excellent coverage and examination of actual real life gun stories from around the US. Cohosts and Rob are knowledgeable, fair, and straightforward. This podcast is quite simply top notch. Thank you for this podcast!!

The events reported with the expert comments is very valuable training Should be more often and more stories

This podcast should be a tv show

This podcast allows you to imagine how you would react in a self defense situation. You can learn from what others have done right, and what they have done wrong. I love to listen with my brother Chris.

Very great podcast I have been watching for a while now and I can’t believe how good a podcast can be! 👍👍😁😁👏👏🆒✅❤️

I was recently involved in a self defense shooting as the shooter. Still going through the legal battle. I was indicted 6 weeks later. Cannot find a similar story on your podcast but I’d like to share just not on a public platform. Other than that, your podcast is very informative. Thanks

Great show. I look forward to every new episode. Legacy Media is Dead! Podcasts are the only way to get news and info nowadays.

As a new conceal and carry license holder discovering this podcast has been an incredible source of information. The guest instructors share amazing information every episode and the news stories are delivered so well. In the week I’ve been listening I’ve learned so much and I am extremely thankful. Keep up the great work. Mo from Massachusetts.

Thanks team for dedicating your time to spread the word on the responsibilities of firearms ownership and self defense by sharing real world stories that many of us would not see otherwise. Each show is better than the last. Now I’m just trying to plan my training to keep up with the world.

Really gets me thinking about confrontations that could happen. If you carry this podcast is a must! Well done!

Self defense gun stories is a great source for mental ammunition. Definitely great to have real-life scenarios to keep in mind as this info is a vital part of training.

A great show, with great advice. Incredibly useful for listening while driving, so that SOME form of training can continue. I use this to start, and end, my day. This wakes me up and gets me thinking about situational awareness at 6 am. I like how quick and concise the stories are. There isn’t much fluff. Highly useful, great advice, and safety is mentioned in every story.

Excited to have found this to add to my mental rep discipline! Carry On!

Never enough learning to be done. Great information and great host

Great podcast. 🤩😁👍✴️🔫✅✔️☑️

This is a solid podcast and a great opportunity to learn from real life self defense stories for all comers. As a long-time firearm owner and new concealed carry, this is podcast has a been a great resource for learning what to do in dangerous situations. While most of us listeners may never run into the situations encountered in these stories, and hopefully never do, you can feel better prepared by listening to this podcast. The mainstream media definitely likes to focus on stories that fit their agenda and underreport crime happening all the time. Unfortunately stories like these can get left to the wayside. I’m grateful we have a podcast like this and people like Rob and his expert guests who dissect everyday stories of people defending themselves and what we can learn from them. And very importantly they have links to the sources so you can read for yourself! Thank you Rob and his guests!

Love the variety of real stories and situations to think of lessons and how they apply to me. Consistent format, but great guests add flavor, and Rob is the man.

Listening to the show gives a lot of great insight on how different real world scenarios actually go down and the right ways and wrong ways to handle them. Amazing

As a level 1 Truama ICU RN for 7 years I’ve listened to your show for 3 years. I’ve also carried concealed for 10 years. This podcast is very helpful for both new and experienced firearm owners, I highly recommend it to anyone. I’ve introduced over 10 people to this show. As a medical professional, mainstream media has no idea how common crime and self defense uses happen. Armed citizens stop crimes every day. Thanks Rob and Crew!!!

This podcast helps you know what to do in an emergency when you might need your firearm. Lots more people have guns than actually train with them. This podcast helps you think things through before you are in a dire situation. I bet it has saved lives!

Love this podcast . straight to the point giving positives and negative’s on the situations. Also little tips and places to get more training in all areas in firearm defense. Thank you! Keep it up…… Kevin

Such a fundamental thing is to be aware of your surroundings at all times. This podcast speaks to that a lot, I am a firearms instructor out of New England and this is what I preach to my students. UrbanShootingExperience LLC. Antonio miles

Playing through these scenarios and thinking about what was done is cognitive rehearsal of a task which can always be done when you can’t physically practice. Great podcast for accomplishing this.

I wanted to drop by and let you know I’ve been listening to the podcast for just over a week or so now and really enjoy listening to the stories. I listen on my way to and at work and I love that these stories keep you in a good frame of mind to always remember to use situational awareness. I have been training with my firearm since April of this year and have since obtained my Ohio concealed carry permit and carry my gun on me everywhere I go. I have also learned about stop the bleed through this podcast and I am signed up for a class in October. This podcast is phenomenal and filled with great advice and tips and I can’t thank you enough for the time you have taken out of your life to get this information out there. Your guests are not only entertaining but also clearly very knowledgeable and I will continue to listen and train and support your podcast! Thanks again and stay safe out there!

It’s fascinating to hear all the different possible scenarios one might face along with expert opinion

I have been listening to this podcast now for a few weeks. There is one saying that the guys over on the ASP page say, “The body can’t go where the mind hasn’t been.” This podcast can help you with making a plan in the event that a critical incident arises that you are involved with. I thought I had done a fairly good job running through scenarios in my head and figuring out what I would do, but this helps widen your perspective and can take you down the road to better preparedness. Thank you, Robert, and all of the other instructors that bring the unimaginable to life through actual news reports so we can prepare ourselves.

I listen to the podcast as soon as they are please published. Thank you .

Am learning to be a responsible gun owner. For myself and my future family. God bless

I’ve been listening for about a year now, but went back and binged all the past episodes. Love the format and the delivery. The expert commentary is invaluable and shows just how unpredictable life is and how fast bad thing develop. Knowing how things can play out has allowed me to more observant when I’m out and about. I also now subscribe to POGO so even when I’m home, my tool is always on my hip.

Hey Rob, I've been listening to the Podcast for awhile now and tune in weekly. The guest instructors never cease to amaze me with their vast knowledge and expertise in the realm of firearms training and personal defense. I always pick up on something new to apply in my own endeavors as an instructor and personal defender. Thank you for sharing such an amazing show and know that I have posted a link on my facebook page to share with my students and group members in an effort to spread the word about Self Defense Gun Stories.

These real-life lessons teach me a lot. Host Rob Morris and his guests seem to know what they’re talking about. Episodes are easily consumed, because they are crisp and concise. Thanks!

I have had my CWP for about 20 years but only started carrying everyday about 3 years ago. My wife and I belong to the local range and train on a regular basis. The real life events that you cover help me to think through situations that I might not have considered. Please keep up the great work. Rick
