I have had 2 separate incidents of defending myself and my property with a gun. I intend to report them to ABC, but I doubt that ABC really wants to hear about them. I would wager that there is a catch to this somewhere in the fine print, I seriously doubt that the MSM has suddenly reversed it's policy of scoffing at the critical importance of personal firearms for self defense.

Seems to me that there is an entire page of the American Rifleman devoted to this each week...

I don’t know if it would be a good idea to sign up for this. The editors can spin an interview anyway they want, and 20/20 may not have an unbiased view on gun rights.

The catch to this story is I don't need no stinking story for my 2nd amendment rights. I have 2nd amendment rights whether or not I even own a gun or pull one out on somebody.

It's like saying my 5th amendment rights don't exist because nobody is asking me questions. I have them anyway.

It's in the Bill of Rights, ergo, I have them. God guarantee's my right to self defense, not government. The second amendment says "bear arms", it doesn't specify guns. It's about self defense.

I was interviewed by 20/20 a few years ago, after my name appeared in the New York Times (who also interviewed me).

Both 20/20 and NYT both tried to put words in my mouth, and tried to rephrase my statements based on what they wanted to hear.

The Times sidestepped my key point, and 20/20 decided at the last minute to leave me on the cutting room completely (they filmed me in Central Park).

Do not trust reporters of any kind, no matter what they say. Today I would secretly tape record my interviews and confront any outlet who played with my words, or even tried to put words in my mouth during the interview.
