The Man Who's Watched 50,000 Gunfights Reveals What Actually Keeps You Alive

In this episode of the Taking Aim podcast Richard Nance sits down with John Correia, founder of Active Self-Protection, whose YouTube channel has analyzed upwards of 50,000 real-world violent incidents to extract actionable lessons for armed citizens. The conversation covers the nuances of video analysis, the importance of articulation in legal self-defense cases, and Correia's work as an expert witness — including his philosophy that an expert's job is to educate the jury, not advocate for a side. They also dig into training principles, the advantages of pistol-mounted optics, and the gap between hard shooting skills and real-world decision-making under stress. Correia closes with a firsthand account of a home intruder breaking into his Phoenix home in March, walking through what went right, what he'd do differently, and the legal aftermath that followed.
