Today we take a look at a case in which a man is walking with his wife and tiny child in one of the most expensive and exclusive urban neighborhoods in America—Beverly Hills—when he’s suddenly set upon by a crazed homeless person with a knife, and gets stabbed.Fortunately for the father and his family, he too brought a knife, and he ended up winning that physical fight—and rather permanently.  He also seems to have made solid self-defense decisions, and under circumstances, that will make him hard to convict and thus an unattractive target for prosecution, and so he’s well-positioned to win the legal fight, as well.So, let’s dive into the facts and video of this crazy event, and see what practical lessons we can draw to make ourselves both hard to kill and hard to convict. FREE Law of Self Defense HARD TO CONVICT Webinar!Join us for our 100% FREE Law of Self Defense HARD TO CONVICT webinar coming up in just a few weeks.As the title suggests this free webinar teaches you how to be HARD TO CONVICT if you’re ever compelled to use force in defense of yourself, your family, or your property.The webinar is live streamed by me, and there’s plenty of opportunity for Q&A, as well.

Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of “Rust” was dismissed with prejudice by trial Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer.  The “prejudice” part of that means that the prosecution is prohibited from re-trying Baldwin on these manslaughter charges. Last week special prosecutor Kari Morrissey filed a motion to reconsider this dismissal with prejudice with Judge Sommer—and that’s what we’ll be taking a look at in today’s show.The basis for the dismissal with prejudice was a purported Brady violation by the prosecution.  Brady is a US Supreme Court case that requires the prosecution to turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense.  My immediate objection to this particular dismissal with prejudice on the basis of this purported Brady violation premised on this “Thell Reed” ammo was that the particular source of the live round is immaterial to the manslaughter charge against Baldwin. In other words, where the Baldwin live round came from—whether from Gutierrez’ father Thell Reed or from props supplier Seth Kenney or from a local Walmart was entirely irrelevant to the theory of Baldwin’s criminal liability for manslaughter.With that context, let’s dive into today’s show.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

A man with strong feelings that the military actions of Israel in Gaza amount to genocide decides to charge across a busy street and tackle a man participating with others in a pro-Israel protest—and ends up shot in the abdomen by the man he attacked.Now the shooter, Scott Hayes, has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and is looking at 10 years in prison.(UPDATE: In the video I discuss that Hayes had also been charged with a civil rights violation good for 10 years in prison—that civil rights charge has been dropped since I recorded this video.) It's being reported that Hayes has been granted bail in the amount of $5,000, with a variety of conditions including GPS monitoring, but this will at least allow him to go to work and such.Presumably Hayes will attempt to justify his shooting as lawful self-defense. How viable is that defense, and how vulnerable is it to attack by the prosecution?

So a video is making the rounds of the internets in which a police officer responding to a noise complaint is standing just inside the doorway of a home while the female homeowner shouts at him to get out of her house. The officer refuses, makes a bunch of zany claims—such as “I own your house now”—and ultimately places the woman under arrest and handcuffs her. Could this possibly be lawful conduct on the part of the officer? There are, in fact, a number of conditions in which a police officer can lawfully enter your home, with or without your permission—but does this video demonstrate any of those?In today’s show we discuss the major categories of circumstances in which the police can lawfully enter your home—see if any of them apply to this video—and then discuss what your legal and practical options are to lawfully prevent police from entering your home unlawfully. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill is clocked speeding by police and pulled over. Once stopped police see he’s also not wearing his seatbelt. That’s two driving infractions right there—but that’s not enough for Hill. Hill also decides to be unlawfully non-compliant with lawful orders given by the police for purposes of safety, to the point where the police must compel compliance by dragging him from his car, detaining him, cuffing him, and sitting him down on the sidewalk.The bad actor in all this?

Today we’re going to take a look at a video of a fatal shooting out of Cincinnati OH that many on the internets are characterizing as obvious self-defense, but where state prosecutors have charged as murder—and the prosecutors here are probably right, on the legal merits.The reason this killing is likely unlawful rests on the element Innocence, one of the elements required for a valid claim of self-defense.  Innocence requires that the person claiming self-defense was not the initial aggressor in the fight—obviously--and, ALSO, that they did not provoke the OTHER person into being the initial aggressor in order to have an excuse to kill them and claim it was self-defense. And THAT’s the problem in this shooting.  Let’s go take a look at the video, and discuss what makes this killing likely a crime. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

A Davenport, Iowa police officer shoots dead a 2-year-old Labrador in front of the dog’s family—including the mother, young child, and a young cousin.  The officer was never bit, or even so much as scratched, by the dog.  Did the officer simply EXECUTE this poor dog? Could there be ANY legal justification for this officer’s use of deadly force to kill a family pet? The legal answer, like it or not, is that YES, this shooting of the dog was legally justified.

A white police officer shoots a fleeing black suspect—Malachi Williams--in the back, at a moment where the suspect presents no immediate threat to the officer. Worse, the officer’s body worn camera footage shows no apparent indication that the suspect was armed.  Is this police shooting of a fleeing, apparently unarmed, black suspect in the back yet another example of police systemic racism and excessive force? The answer is no—because, as usual, the devil is in the details. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Today's LIVE show is in response to the video posted on August 25 by the channel "Washington Gun Law" (Attorney William Kirk) regarding the shooting death of Roger Fortson by a Florida deputy back in May.  The deputy was responding to reports of an apparently violent domestic violence complaint when Fortson responded to the door knock with a gun in hand--at which point the deputy shot Fortson.Kirk had previously concluded that the shooting of Fortson was an outright execution for Fortson having merely exercised his Second Amendment rights. I critiqued Kirk's conclusion that the Fortson shooting was an outright execution on the basis that (despite claiming to be a criminal defense attorney providing legal analysis) he never made a single reference to any relevant Florida use-of-force law whatever, nor entertained any legal argument that might favor the deputy who shot Fortson. It is frankly unimaginable to me that a criminal defense attorney can offer a legal analysis to the public on a use-of-event of high public interest and controversy without even once considering the likely defendant's legal defenses. In my own critique I made actual use of the relevant Florida law that, combined with the facts available, provides a sound foundation for the legal conclusion that the deputy's shooting of Fortson was lawful, if awful. The Kirk video we'll be taking a look at today is apparently in part a response to my critique.Full disclosure: I have not myself watched this Attorney Kirk video, so I'll be seeing it for the first time during today's live stream. So join me for my own LIVE response to Kirk's latest video in this series at 1PM ET!In the interests of full transparency, here's my previous LOSD legal analysis of this unfortunate shooting (along with WGL content links):LOSD: REAL LAWYER | The Roger Fortson Shooting: Awful?

Last week the Minnesota Supreme Court filed its ruling in the case of State v. Blevins, a case in which the defendant pulled out a machete on a train platform and brandished it at several people.Today we read the DISSENT of that ruling.We previously read the majority opinion of that ruling HERE.The defendant was charged with felony assault, and raised the legal defense of self-defense. At a bench trial the judge ruled that the defendant's conduct could not qualify as self-defense because he failed to satisfy Minnesota's generalized legal duty to retreat in the context of self-defense.Minnesota is, indeed, one of the small minority of states (eleven) that impose a generalized legal duty to retreat before deadly force can be used in self-defense--but never before has this duty been expanded to include the mere threat of deadly force, as opposed to the actual use of deadly force.In today's LIVE show we read through the DISSENT of State v.

Two days ago the Minnesota Supreme Court filed its ruling in the case of State v.

On Wednesday I published the video of my legal analysis of the Sonya Massey shooting.  Massey was shot and killed by Deputy Sean Grayson inside her own apartment earlier this month. Grayson has since been fired and charged with murder and other crimes.In my legal analysis I concluded that the available evidence--in the form of the body worn camera video of Grayson and a second deputy with him at the time--made clear that the shooting of Massey, while tragic, was almost certainly lawful self-defense.This, of course, has led to a tsunami of protesting comments, as my analysis runs counter to the consensus view of this police use-of-force event.In this live stream I will sift through a selected portion of the more substantive comments and questions I've received across social media, and address those with law-based analysis and the actual evidence in the case.

President Donald Trump was shot by an attempted assassin on Saturday, July 13, a day that exposed a horrific degree of incompetence of both the US Secret Service generally and some of its purportedly elite agents on scene in particular.Exactly how incompetent were some of those agents on scene?

This past Saturday a rifle-armed assassin came within millimeters of killing President Donald Trump.  Fortunately, the President survived with a flesh wound to his ear.Perhaps even worse, the more we learn about this assassination attempt, and especially the US Secret Service preparations for and response to this threat, the more inexcusable the whole scenario becomes. Join me to discuss how the law of self-defense provides MORE than sufficient perfectly legal options for the US Secrete Service, local law enforcement, and even mere bystanders to have STOPPED this assassin in his tracks, before he was ever able to to fire his first murderous shot. Join me LIVE at Noon ET!#PresidentTrump #AssassinatioinTHERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

On Saturday July 6th an event called "Freaknik Picnic" held in Brooklyn NYC's Prospect Park (nearly?) almost had a bit of fisticuffs turn into a fatal shooting--and a rather unusual shooting, at that, as it appears to have involved a derringer! With only a very short (~7 second) video clip of the confrontation available, and little news reporting that I was able to find, it's not easy to arrive at any definitively RIGHT ANSWERS about who might have been acting lawfully--or not. What we can do, however, is identify the RIGHT QUESTIONS as a foundation for any legal analysis of this event, and that's what we'll do in today's show. After all, you can hardly expect to ever arrive at right answers if you don't even know the right questions. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

The body worn camera for two police shootings were just brought to my attention, and I thought they provided good examples of how police shootings can be straightforward GOOD shoots, as well as how they can be straightforward BAD shoots.In today's show we break down the legal elements that make each of these shooting lawful and unlawful, respectively.  Unfortunately, of the two, it was the unlawful shooting that resulted in an unnecessary death.

On October 21, 2021, actor Alec Baldwin, on the set of low-budget Western movie "Rust," pointed what he knew to be a real gun directly at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, cocked the hammer, depressed the trigger, and fired a fatal bullet into her body.Baldwin is now approaching trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.Last week the Baldwin defense team began arguing to the court that the manslaughter indictment should be dismissed WITH PREJUDICE--so that it could never be brought again--on the grounds that the prosecution "destroyed" evidence.The "destroyed" evidence consists of the revolver used by Baldwin to kill Hutchins, which had some small internal parts broken during function testing by the FBI.In today's live stream we complete this argument to the court, hear the State's response, and hopefully get an immediate real-time decision by the judge.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

New Mexico has charged actor Alec Baldwin with reckless manslaughter over his shooting dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the low-budget western movie "Rust."   Baldwin's immediate conduct that results in the firing of the bullet that killed Hutchins ought to be enough, on the legal merits, to support his conviction beyond any reasonable doubt--he (obviously) never checked to ensure there was no live ammo in the gun, he pointed what he knew to be a real gun directly at Halyna Hutchins, he manipulated the hammer of the gun while doing so, and he arguably manipulated the trigger at the same time.  BLAM!Prosecutors, however, want to introduce evidence of Baldwin's firearm recklessness beyond this conduct immediately proximate to the gun in his hand discharging into Hutchins. They also want to introduce evidence of Baldwin's reckless firearms conduct--and misconduct--in the days immediately proceeding the shooting.Normally, evidence of "prior bad acts" for which the defendant is not charged is presumptively inadmissible in court--but Prosecutor Kari Morrissey is arguing that THESE prior bad acts are an exception, and in the motion we'll cover today she explains to the court exactly why. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) along with its partner Delta Defense LLC purport to pay their members legal expenses if the member is involved in a use-of force event. Indeed, their sophisticated internet advertising campaigns frequently feature CEO Tim Schmidt assuring the public that "We've got your back!"In recent years, however, USCCA has refused to meet that apparent obligation to its members. When asked about this the organization has either provided no particularly substantive reasons--e.g., "we just feel we're not obligated to do so"--or has made up an outrageously not credible explanation months after the fact--e.g., "actually that member preferred we not help them."It is for these reasons that I'm personally unable to recommend USCCA in good faith to anybody seeking legal services coverage in a use-of-force context.That said, there DO EXIST scenarios in which it would arguably be appropriate for ANY use-of-force legal services company to decline to provide coverage--and we'll explore one of those scenarios in the context of a recent New Mexico Supreme Court decision.If THIS had been USCCA's explanation for its repeated failure to cover its members, they'd have had a point.

The legal defense for actor Alec Baldwin, scheduled for a manslaughter trial next month over the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of "Rust, is once again trying to get his indictment dismissed, this time with prejudice (meaning, he could not be re-indicted). An earlier effort to have the indictment dismissed on the premise that it "failed to allege a criminal offense" was recently swatted down by trial Judge Mary Marlowe Summer--but now the defense is taking another swing.The FBI examination of the Baldwin revolver involved a mallet test, in which the revolver was struck with a mallet from various angles to see if the gun could be fired without the trigger being pressed (Baldwin denies having pressed the trigger, and claims the gun "just went off.") At one point the cocked hammer of the revolver was struck hard enough that the hammer-sear engagement surfaces within the revolver were broken.The defense is now characterizing this as the prosecution having "destroyed evidence," and arguing that the indictment against Baldwin should be dismissed with prejudice as a result. Sound argument? Or just more smoke and mirrors?THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there. Some are hot garbage.

The prosecutors in the upcoming manslaughter trial of Alec Baldwin for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of "Rust" have asked the court to order set armorer Hannah Gutierrez--herself recently convicted of manslaughter in this case--to be compelled to testify against Baldwin.In addition, the Baldwin defense has abruptly decided to withdraw several of its planned witnesses, for reasons the prosecution suggests indicate that these defense witnesses would testified in a manner harmful to Baldwin. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

In today's show we cover the Courtney Clenney Arthur hearing testimony of the lead investigator, Detective Brecino. Specifically, we cover Brecino's cross-examination by Defense Counsel Frank Prieto.Overview:This week we're covering "OnlyFans Killer" Courtney Clenney, who on April 3, 2022 killed her boyfriend Christian Obumseli with a knife in their Miami apartment. Obumseli suffered a single knife wound to the chest.Clenney would tell investigators that the much larger and heavier Obumseli was a domestic abuser, and had pinned her to the wall by her throat and thrown her to the ground. She somehow managed to escape, move 10 feet away, grab a small kitchen knife, and toss it in his direction.That knife managed to penetrate Obumseli's chest, severing carotid arteries, and quickly leading to his death from massive blood loss.Although investigators initially perceived the event as an act of self-defense, they quickly began to suspect otherwise. Much evidence emerged that Clenney had been a violent abuser in the relationship--indeed, it seemed that she had previously stabbed Obumseli on an earlier occasion, simply because she was angry that he had stayed late to watch the overtime of a football game. There also emerged video of Clenney attacking Obumseli with her fists in an elevator.Ultimately Clenney was charged with second degree malice murder by Florida prosecutors, and she is in jail awaiting trial on that charge today.In late 2022 Clenney sought pre-trial release, offering to stay under house arrest with her parents in Texas. Florida prosecutors disagreed, and a motion was filed for an Arthur hearing. This is a Florida-specific hearing that is essentially a mini-trial, in which prosecutors have to prove by a strong presumption that the defendant is likely to be convicted at trial (Phase 1) as well as that the defendant is a flight risk if released (Phase 2).The Arthur hearing was held on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, and Thursday, November 17, 2022, with key testimony primarily from the lead investigator and the medical examiner on those two days, respectively. Spoiler: On December 8, 2022, the hearing judge would ultimately deny pre-trial release. Nevertheless, the testimony of these witnesses provides us with insight into how the evidence is likely to be presented at the actual trial.Over the next few Law of Self Defense shows I will be working our way through those two days of Arthur hearings and testimony.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

A week ago last Friday, on May 17, Judge Mary Marlow Sommer, presiding over the manslaughter trial of Alec Baldwin in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of low-budge western movie "Rust," heard oral arguments around the defense team's motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment on a number of grounds.  This motion was, of course, contested by Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey. Although my own legal sense is that the motion was without substantive merit, it was interesting to observe Judge Sommer go rather hard at Prosecutor Morrissey on some of the key arguments raised by the defense team.I covered that oral argument here at Law of Self Defense last Saturday, May 18.Nevertheless, last week Judge Morrissey issued her ruling denying the defense motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment, and so we will be proceeding to the actual manslaughter trial, with jury selection scheduled for July 9 and the trial proper scheduled to begin July 10. I will, of course, be live streaming the trial for its duration. Today we dig into Judge Sommer's denial order, and see to what extent it tracks with my own legal reasoning on the dismissal of the indictment arguments on each side. 

A New York City liquor store owner finds two men stealing, and shoves them out the door onto the sidewalk.  A verbal dispute continues, and one of the thieves charges at the store owner standing in his doorway, punching and kicking.  The store owner then follows the thief out onto the sidewalk, and throws a right hand at the thief. In that right hand, however, was a pistol, and it discharges as the blow lands, resulting in a gun shot wound to the thief. Presumably the shot is unintentional.The store owner has now ben charged with two counts of assault and is looking at 7 years in prison. (The thieves have been charged with petit larceny, and are looking at 1 year each.)Could this shooting be justified as self-defense by the store owner?

Is it possible that pointing what one knows to be a real gun at another human being, cocking the hammer, pulling the trigger, contrary to all industry practices and safety guidelines, and without first ensuring there is no live ammo in the gun, and killing someone as a result, is simply not a crime?Earlier this month the defense lawyers for Alec Baldwin--awaiting trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of "Rust" after Baldwin fired a fatal bullet into her chest--filed a motion with the trial court essentially arguing that even if everything the prosecution says about Baldwin's conduct is true, it still does not amount to a crime.In today's show we'll both cover the general legal doctrines that govern in the context of causing an unintended death in the course of mishandling an inherently dangerous instrument, such as a gun, as well as walk through the defense "Motion to Dismiss the Indictment for Failure to Allege a Criminal Offense."#alecbaldwin #rust #halynahutchins THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Yesterday Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, presiding over the upcoming manslaughter trial of Alec Baldwin, for the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of low-budget western movie "Rust," held a hearing to resolve a motion by Baldwin's highly paid defense team asking that the grand jury indictment against their client be dismissed. Arguing counter to that defense motion is prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey. Morriseey also prosecuted the manslaughter charges against "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez, whose trial was also presided over by Judge Sommer. Gutierrez was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced to the maximum of 18 months by Judge Sommer. The Baldwin defense team has filed several motions demanding that his indictment be dismissed, largely on grounds that seem spurious. Nevertheless, they are being highly paid to advocate zealously for their client, and this challenge of the indictment is part of that defense. Yesterday Judge Morrow finally heard the oral arguments of the parties, as a final step before she issues a ruling on the defense motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment--and THAT'S what we'll be covering in today's show.

Yesterday, May 16, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a full and complete pardon to Daniel Perry, on the recommendation of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Perry had been convicted of the murder of AK-47 armed Black Lives Matter protestor Garrett Foster during a 2020 BLM protest in Austin TX. The jury rejected Perry's claim of self-defense, and Perry was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison.Although Gov. Abbott had soon after the trial promised to pardon Perry if the Board of Pardons so recommended, I'd personally expressed some skepticism that a pardon would ever actually issue--not for legal reasons, but for political reasons. Now that a pardon has issued, the firestorm of outrage over this case has re-ignited. Is the Governor's pardon a lawless genuflection to racist fascism, as the Progressive Left claims? Or is the pardon simple justice for an American serviceman who was merely exercising his Second Amend right to bear arms and his legal privilege of self-defense, and whose conviction was itself unjust? THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Two days ago, Attorney William Kirk, the President of law firm Washington Gun Law, released a YouTube video on his extremely popular channel (~360,000 subscribers) providing legal analysis of the tragic shooting death of Roger Fortson.The title of that video: "The Florida Man Who Was Executed for Exercising His Constitutional Rights." (Find it here: https://youtu.be/IWepSw11YiA?si=_mxXs...)Given that this analysis was by a fellow attorney popular with the gun community, I eagerly looked forward to his analysis. It was, to say the least, disappointing. Indeed, a good case can be made that the video not only failed to provide anything resembling sound legal analysis, it was rife with emotionally-laden misinformation. Indeed, the video makes zero--as in zip, zilch, none--reference to any relevant Florida law that would determine if Fortson's shooting was legally justified. Not a word. In my opinion, criminal defense lawyers in particular should do better when covering such high-profile, emotionally-charged use-of-force events. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

On Friday, May 3 a Florida deputy responded to a domestic violence call.  Arriving at the apartment complex the deputy was met by the woman who'd made the call, who directed him to apartment 1401, in which she believed the violence to be occurring.  The deputy knocked on the door, standing on either side for purposes of safety.  When the door opened, the deputy was presented with a man with a gun plainly visible in his hand. The deputy immediately drew his service pistol and shot the man, killing him. That man would turn out to be Roger Fortson, a US Airman who was not, in fact, involved in a domestic violence event, and who by all accounts was doing nothing illegal at all when fatally shot by the deputy.  Fueled by the usual lies of race baiter Benjamin Crump, as well as by visions of how the world might be if perfect, the internet is hysterical with outrage. Could this tragic shooting nevertheless be lawful? Is it necessarily murder? Manslaughter? Or is it simply not a crime at all under the law of self-defense?Join me for an EMOTION-LESS, LAW-BASED analysis of the police shooting of Roger Fortson.

On Monday, April 29, 2024, around 1:30 p.m., the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force was attempting to serve active felony warrants for unlawful felon gun possession and felony flight to elude on 39-year-old convict Terry Clark Hughes, Jr. As officers approached, Hughes began firing at them, striking multiple officers. The officers responded in kind, and the gunfight was on.By the time the smoke cleared, Hughes was dead. Unfortunately, eight of the officers involved had been short, four of them fatally. Today we'll take a look at a variety of legal questions that arise from these kinds of engagements including: Is the suspect's home the safest place to secure their arrest? Can it ever be lawful to shoot at police? Should a felon who has served their time regain their gun rights?

An Ohio police officer responds to a call of a man walking around a residential neighborhood pointing a gun at homes.  As the officer pulls up, he sees a suspect that matches the description called in. The officer begins to verbally engage with the suspect--and within seconds has fired a shot as he spots an apparent gun in the suspect's hand. The apparent gun would later be determined to be a toy. Ohio happens to be an Open Carry state, meaning it is lawful to openly carry a firearm in public. Does that make this officer's shooting of this suspect unlawful? What if it is determined that the suspect had only the most innocent of intentions in possessing that apparent gun.

Watch as a shocking incident unfolds in San Jose, CA, where a group of brazen car thieves steal a Corvette in plain sight of security cameras, knowing they are being filmed, while threatening the owner's life if he attempts to prevent the theft.Should such thieves threatening deadly force to complete their crime themselves be at jeopardy of deadly defensive force by the property owner? Could it possibly be lawful for an armed property owner to simply shoot down such thieves to protect his property? If so, is this a case of the owner valuing his property over the lives of the thieves, or rather a case of the thieves valuing someone else's property more than they do their own lives?Join this LIVE debate on whether it should be legal for individuals to use deadly force to protect their personal property in situations like this.

Today's Show:In today's show we cover the Courtney Clenney Arthur hearing testimony of the lead investigator, Detective Brecino. Specifically, we cover Brecino's cross-examination by Defense Counsel Frank Prieto.Overview:This week we're covering "OnlyFans Killer" Courtney Clenney, who on April 3, 2022 killed her boyfriend Christian Obumseli with a knife in their Miami apartment. Obumseli suffered a single knife wound to the chest.Clenney would tell investigators that the much larger and heavier Obumseli was a domestic abuser, and had pinned her to the wall by her throat and thrown her to the ground. She somehow managed to escape, move 10 feet away, grab a small kitchen knife, and toss it in his direction.That knife managed to penetrate Obumseli's chest, severing carotid arteries, and quickly leading to his death from massive blood loss.Although investigators initially perceived the event as an act of self-defense, they quickly began to suspect otherwise. Much evidence emerged that Clenney had been a violent abuser in the relationship--indeed, it seemed that she had previously stabbed Obumseli on an earlier occasion, simply because she was angry that he had stayed late to watch the overtime of a football game. There also emerged video of Clenney attacking Obumseli with her fists in an elevator.Ultimately Clenney was charged with second degree malice murder by Florida prosecutors, and she is in jail awaiting trial on that charge today.In late 2022 Clenney sought pre-trial release, offering to stay under house arrest with her parents in Texas. Florida prosecutors disagreed, and a motion was filed for an Arthur hearing.  This is a Florida-specific hearing that is essentially a mini-trial, in which prosecutors have to prove by a strong presumption that the defendant is likely to be convicted at trial (Phase 1) as well as that the defendant is a flight risk if released (Phase 2).The Arthur hearing was held on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, and Thursday, November 17, 2022, with key testimony primarily from the lead investigator and the medical examiner on those two days, respectively. Spoiler: On December 8, 2022, the hearing judge would ultimately deny pre-trial release. Nevertheless, the testimony of these witnesses provides us with insight into how the evidence is likely to be presented at the actual trial.Over the next few Law of Self Defense shows I will be working our way through those two days of Arthur hearings and testimony.BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE EXPERT IN ONE DAY!Twice a year Attorney Andrew Branca hosts a LIVE full-day Law of Self Defense Advanced Webinar--and one of those rare opportunities is coming up on Saturday, April 20, 2024.Learn how to be HARD TO CONVICT if you're ever compelled to defend yourself, your family, or your property against criminal predation, IN A SINGLE DAY.Learn how the criminal justice system perceives and evaluates claims of self-defense, learn the five elements of any self-defense claim, learn defense of others and property, learn how to interact with the police in the aftermath of a use-of-force event, and much, MUCH more.And for a brief time you can SAVE UP TO 50% by registering during the early discount period.Click here NOW to learn more:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/advancedDisclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

In today's show, we'll be following a live stream of the trial, Wisconsin v. Zacharia Anderson. This trial resulted in the murder conviction of defendant Anderson, with Anderson sentenced in May 2023 to life in prison.Despite not initially following the trial due to it not being a self-defense case, many respected lawyers concluded that the trial and conviction were a miscarriage of justice. As someone who cares deeply about injustices in the criminal justice system, especially in courts that may impact self-defense trials, I have been eager to watch this trial firsthand.The trial is currently being re-streamed by MakingLawSimple--run by very sound Michigan Attorney David Helm--and Vielhammer media--who did a masterful job on optimizing the originally-terrible audio of this trial--providing an opportunity to analyze the proceedings.Also, I've still got this respiratory infection going on, with lots of coughing and some difficulty breathing, and I doubt I could speak for a continuous hour as I do in a typical Law of Self Defense Show.So, that's the plan for at least the next several days, taking. a fresh look at WI v.

In this video, we explore the 1939 US Supreme Court decision in US v. Miller, which was the Court's first substantive ruling on the Second Amendment.The case involved Jack Miller and Frank Layton, two individuals with criminal histories, who never appeared in court to argue their side against the Federal government.The decision ultimately ruled that the Second Amendment only protected firearms that were useful to a militia. Fast forward to today, where gun control groups argue the opposite - that the Second Amendment protects only non-military style firearms.This contrast with modern Supreme Court Second Amendment jurisprudence, such as the landmark cases of Heller, McDonald, Caetano, and Bruen, makes US v. Miller a little-known but important decision in understanding the evolution of gun rights in America.Learn more about this historic case and its implications in this video.Like, share, and subscribe for more legal history content on our channel!BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE EXPERT IN ONE DAY!Twice a year Attorney Andrew Branca hosts a LIVE full-day Law of Self Defense Advanced Webinar--and one of those rare opportunities is coming up on Saturday, April 20, 2024.Learn how to be HARD TO CONVICT if you're ever compelled to defend yourself, your family, or your property against criminal predation, IN A SINGLE DAY.Learn how the criminal justice system perceives and evaluates claims of self-defense, learn the five elements of any self-defense claim, learn defense of others and property, learn how to interact with the police in the aftermath of a use-of-force event, and much, MUCH more.And for a brief time you can SAVE UP TO 50% by registering during the early discount period.Click here NOW to learn more:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/advancedDisclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Today's show is Part 2 of 2 of our reading of the law review article "The Peculiar Story of United States v. Miller," by attorney and legal scholar Brian L. Frye.In 1939, the US Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in US v. Miller, shaping the interpretation of the Second Amendment.This case ruled that the Amendment only protected firearms useful to a militia, sparking debates that continue to this day. Ironically enough, contemporary gun control groups argue the opposite viewpoint, claiming that the Second Amendment only safeguards weapons that are not designed for war.Interestingly, the defendants in US v. Miller, Jack Miller and Frank Layton, never presented their arguments in court, leaving many questions unanswered.Despite the lack of opposition, this case is significant as the Supreme Court's first substantial ruling on the Second Amendment.It sheds light on the historical context surrounding gun control and highlights the potential manipulation behind the scenes.In fact, US v. Miller, may have been orchestrated as a test case by supporters of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aiming to pass gun control legislation without constitutional hindrances.This possibility is well-described in the law review article, "The Peculiar Story of United States v. Miller," buy attorney and legal scholar Brian L.

Today's show is Part 1 of 2 of our reading of the law review article "The Peculiar Story of United States v. Miller," by attorney and legal scholar Brian L. Frye.In 1939, the US Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in US v. Miller, shaping the interpretation of the Second Amendment.This case ruled that the Amendment only protected firearms useful to a militia, sparking debates that continue to this day. Ironically enough, contemporary gun control groups argue the opposite viewpoint, claiming that the Second Amendment only safeguards weapons that are not designed for war.Interestingly, the defendants in US v. Miller, Jack Miller and Frank Layton, never presented their arguments in court, leaving many questions unanswered.Despite the lack of opposition, this case is significant as the Supreme Court's first substantial ruling on the Second Amendment.It sheds light on the historical context surrounding gun control and highlights the potential manipulation behind the scenes.In fact, US v. Miller, may have been orchestrated as a test case by supporters of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aiming to pass gun control legislation without constitutional hindrances.This possibility is well-described in the law review article, "The Peculiar Story of United States v. Miller," buy attorney and legal scholar Brian L. Frye, and published in the New York University Journal of Law & Liberty in 2008 -- ironically enough, the same year in which the Supreme Court decided their second substantive Second Amendment case, District of Columbia v.

Today we discuss the troubling reporting of a road-rage incident in which one woman shot both another woman and that other woman’s daughter—both shooting victims survived.  The media has been reporting on this event with headlines like this: “No charges for woman who wounded mother, daughter.” The local police department did request from prosecutors an arrest warrant for the shooter. Yet no such warrant was granted. Why not? Surely an out-of-control driver who puts bullets into a mother and daughter simply MUST be held legally accountable, no? Buried deep in the media reporting is the truth of the matter, however—that the woman who fired the shots was the victim of a deadly force attack by that mother and daughter. It was the mother and daughter who were the unlawful aggressors, and the woman who shot was simply lawfully defending herself.Join me as I share details of this successful act of self-defense, and note how the deceitful media increases the legal risks for lawful defenders.  BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE EXPERT IN ONE DAY!Twice a year Attorney Andrew Branca hosts a LIVE full-day Law of Self Defense Advanced Webinar--and one of those rare opportunities is coming up on Saturday, April 20, 2024.Learn how to be HARD TO CONVICT if you're ever compelled to defend yourself, your family, or your property against criminal predation, IN A SINGLE DAY.Learn how the criminal justice system perceives and evaluates claims of self-defense, learn the five elements of any self-defense claim, learn defense of others and property, learn how to interact with the police in the aftermath of a use-of-force event, and much, MUCH more.And for a brief time you can SAVE UP TO 50% by registering during the early discount period.Click here NOW to learn more:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/advancedDisclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

In June 2022, Mark Winger, a Texas gun store employee, shot a fleeing thief in the back and was initially charged with murder. However, last week he agreed to a plea bargain deal of eight years deferred adjudication. Despite Texas allowing deadly force in defense of property, there are specific conditions that must be met to stay within the law. Join us as we examine why the Texas justification of defense of property likely did not apply in this case and why Winger's plea deal was a fortunate outcome for him. Learn more about the complexities of self-defense laws in our breakdown of "The Hard Limits of Texas Deadly Force in Defense of Property"BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE EXPERT IN ONE DAY!Twice a year Attorney Andrew Branca hosts a LIVE full-day Law of Self Defense Advanced Webinar--and one of those rare opportunities is coming up on Saturday, April 20, 2024.Learn how to be HARD TO CONVICT if you're ever compelled to defend yourself, your family, or your property against criminal predation, IN A SINGLE DAY.Learn how the criminal justice system perceives and evaluates claims of self-defense, learn the five elements of any self-defense claim, learn defense of others and property, learn how to interact with the police in the aftermath of a use-of-force event, and much, MUCH more.And for a brief time you can SAVE UP TO 50% by registering during the early discount period.Click here NOW to learn more:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/advancedDisclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

In today's Part 2 we read the dissent from Ohio v. Wilson.Ohio man Tyler Wilson got into a gas station verbal argument with one Billy Reffet. The argument escalated to the point that Wilson felt obliged to fire warning shots into the night sky, claiming he'd intended to merely frighten Reffet off, rather than to harm him.Wilson would be charged with attempted murder and felonious assault. At trial he attempted to raise the legal defense of self-defense, but the trial judge rejected that request on the grounds that Wilson himself said he merely intended to frighten Reffet, not actually use force against him.Wilson would be convicted, and appealed.Last week the Ohio Supreme Court not only agreed that warning shots could qualify as lawful self-defense, but rather unusually also found that Wilson's lawyer had been constitutionally ineffective at trial.Join us for our reading and analysis of Ohio v.

In 2023, the year after the seminal Supreme Court's Second Amendment decision of Bruen, the state of Illinois chose rebellion and passed into law the most severe gun control law in its 200 year history, effectively banning both "assault weapons" and many other commonly owned firearms.An suit by gun owners brought by gun owners against the new law failed in Federal trial court, and appeal of that decision to the Federal 7th Circuit also failed.Last December the US Supreme Court refused to stay that law pending its becoming effective, in a decision that earned a scathing dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas, the primary author of Bruen.Now that the law has taken effect Illinois gun owners are again petitioning the US Supreme Court to invalidate this Illinois gun law on its merits, as violative of the Second Amendment.In today's show we read through this request to the Supreme Court, formally known as a petition for writ for certiorari, filed just last week. This petition shows in clear and direct language how severely the Illinois state government and the 7th Circuit has rebelled against the clear demands of Bruen.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

A police officer dumped a full mag into a police cruiser with a handcuffed suspect inside, believing he'd just been shot by that suspect's suppressed weapon. A fellow officer then joined in, firing more shots at the cruiser.The problem: There was no suppressed weapon, or any weapon at all, nor any evidence of any impact to the officer. There was merely an acorn that fell onto the cruiser's roof. That was triggered the first officer to fire. Self-defense doesn't require perfect decision-making, it merely requires REASONABLE decision-making. But does the first officers' use of force qualify as reasonable? What about the second officer's use of force?Well, we have VIDEO of the shooting, AND the official department report of the event.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Craig Tucker, a retired Marine colonel with an impressive military resume, has apparently been hired by the state of California to provide expert witness testimony to support the state's assault weapons ban.Which is fine, except that he's apparently insane. For example, did you know that a single 5.56mm round can separate the upper half of a person's body from the lower half? No, I'm not kidding, that's what "gun expert" Tucker has told a Federal trial court in a sworn declaration. Fortunately, our Second Amendment defenders have their own actual gun experts who are exposing Tucker's madness.In today's show we'll read through Tucker's insane declaration,  as well as read through a response by the far more reputable and sane Buford Boone.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Today I'll be completing the reading of this past week's decision by the Hawaii Supreme Court to tell the Supreme Court of the United States to piss off re: the Second Amendment. In an absolutely ridiculous decision, the Hawaii Supreme Court has simply thumbed its nose at the entirely of the modern Second Amendment law of the US Supreme Court, going so far as to prioritize "Aloha spirit" over the SCOTUS rulings of Heller, McDonald, and Bruen.I don't claim a great deal of Second Amendment expertise myself, but I can read a court opinion, I can spot legal nonsense, and best of all my friend and Second Amendment lawyer Kostas Moros has shared his own, and genuine, insights into this decision.So join me LIVE on Saturday, Feb. 10, at Noon ET, as I to a reading and legal analysis of Hawaii v.

A couple are awoken at o-dark-thirty by the sound of loud banging on their front door. As the man retrieves a firearm the woman calls 911 to report an apparent home invasion.  Then the glass in the the door shatters and the male homeowner fires a single shot through the front door. When police arrive they find a very drunk and very deceased college student dead from gun shot on the front porch.  He had just moved into a home on the same street, and drunkenly thought he was breaking into what he mistakenly believed was his own home. In fact, this college student had no criminal state of mind when he tried to enter the wrong home, and would have caused no harm if he'd not been shot--yet the homeowner nevertheless shot him dead through the front door as if he were a genuine home invader.  Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.

Shocking absolutely no one, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) has issued a press statement defending Alec Baldwin's apparent manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of low-budget western "Rust," after the actor was again indicted for manslaughter last Friday.(See our show on that news here:  https://youtu.be/MILXfooJESE)This statement defending #AlecBaldwin came as no surprise because, fter all, SAG had issued a similar defense of the actor after his first manslaughter indictment, January 2023 (later dismissed).But is this public statement consistent with SAG's own firearms safety guidelines, issued to all SAG members, including Alec Baldwin?

The Republican-controlled legislature is advancing House Bill 5 (HB5), also known as the "Safer Kentucky Act," and it includes a ton of tough-on-crime provisions that other states that value the safety of their residents out to consider modeling. (Kentucky's governor is a Democrat, but the Republican legislator is a super-majority with veto-override capability.)Included in the 72-page bill are provisions that: prohibit or tightly constrain probation and parole for a variety of violent crimes, makes death-by-fentanyl-sale a capital crime, substantially elevate the severity and sentences for a variety of violent crimes including carjacking, prohibits unlawful homeless encampments, explicitly approves the use of force by property owners or renters to remove squatters or trespassers, empowers the state Attorney General to sue any that decline to enforce that law (e.g., sanctuary cities), requires homeless shelters to prohibit resident individuals from the use of drugs or alcohol and require that they consent to mental health conditions and refrain from criminal activity, allows for the institutionalizing of individuals without requiring proof of criminal conduct, tightly restricts the ability of "charitable bail organizations" to bail out violent criminals, strengthens the ability of retail establishments to use force to detain shoplifters and organized theft rings, provides criminal and civil immunity to shop keepers who lawfully use force to stop shoplifters, defines reckless endangerment with a firearm as a "violent offender" crime for which probation or parole is tightly constrained, expands the definition of terroristic threatening to include any building and any gathering of 3 or more persons, mandates that school employees report to police certain violent acts or firearms possession by students, expands the definition of "serious physical injury" for certain domestic violence offenses (including "dating" relationships), greatly increases the penalties for flight from the police, ... and much, much more!

In an apparent road-rage event, a man approaches a green SUV with a pistol in hand, and uses the muzzle to tap on the driver's side window, then lowers his handgun to his side.

A young black woman gets to throwing hands at two men--one white, one black--in what appears to be an airport coffee shop. At one point she attempts to strike the men with a large metal chair, and ultimately she hurls herself over the counter before finally stomping away.The men defend themselves against these attacks, at one point vigorously throwing the woman to the floor. Was the woman's attack merely non-deadly force, or did it escalate to deadly force--and, if so, did it do so lawfully?

It was late October 2021 in upstate New York when Jason Jones was arrested after engaging in disorderly conduct outside a police station, after just leaving a bar.While in the station, a shirtless and barefooted Jones grabbed a gallon jug of hand sanitizer and liberally coated himself in it--presumably in preparation for going hands-on with the three officers present and making himself slippery to control.One of the officers presented his Taser, and applied it to Jones.  The sanitizer coating his body instantly ignited, causing Jones to ultimately die of his burns a month later. In response to the flaming Jones, all three officers fled the room.Almost two years later, the Attorney General of New York decided against bringing any criminal charges against the three officers. In today's show we'll discuss the legal doctrine of mens rea (mental state) and how various forms of intent can create or remove criminal liability.

Houston TX-area homeowner Terry Willis was alerted to a swarm of car thieves amongst his driveway vehicles by his home security cameras around o-dark-thirty.His response? He stepped out of his home pointing an AR rifle he'd built himself, and told them "I don't think you want to do that." The car thieves fled in comic-like desperation. No property was taken, no shots were fired, no person was injured. Happy ending all around--or is it? Is the use of an AR rifle in defense of property lawful, or could this homeowner be facing serious legal jeopardy. Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Two men, one much larger than the other, get into a physical confrontation on a Philadelphia subway platform, with the larger man holding the smaller against a support column.Suddenly the smaller man--now identified as Chaz Wearing--throws a punch, then another, sending the larger man staggering off the platform and onto the tracks--seconds before subway car enters the station and runs over the fallen man with fatal results. Was this death lawful self-defense on the part of Wearing? Was it a genuine accident? Was it involuntary manslaughter--the criminal charge that has since been brought against Wearing?

In an officer-involved shooting that is reminiscent of Texas Police Officer Aaron Dean's 2019 prowler-investigating shooting of Atatiana Jefferson--for which Dean was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 11 years and 10 months in jail (perhaps not coincidentally that shooting occurred on November 10)--another Texas police officer has shot and killed another homeowner while responding to a prowling call.  Last week Texas Police Officer Lauren Nick responded to a prowling call, briefly investigated the area, then rang the doorbell of the caller. Almost instantly,  Aaliyah Anders​, a 26-year-old black woman, rushed out of the door, screaming wildly, and pointing a handgun at Officer Nick. Nick responded with four rounds fired in self-defense, killing Anders. Not that it should matter, but in both cases the shooting victim was black. Officer Dean was white. I am unaware of the race of Officer Nick. This event was captured on both the officer's body-worn camera and on the residence Ring camera, and I'll share those videos during today's show. ​Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

One of those two men was purportedly a friend of Freund's, and the other was Dexter Perkins. Freund would ultimately pull out a pistol fired two warning shots, and then fired another 9 bullets into Perkins, killing him.Freund has since been arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder and denied pre-trial release.Could this be a lawful use of force in defense of others, with Freund intervening in lawful defense of his friend?

Last Friday USCCA Chairman Tim Schmidt released a YouTube video responding to varied criticisms of that organization.  In particular, Tim spoke to criticism of how USCCA managed its legal defense obligations to two of its members--Kayla Giles (later found guilty of murder at trial and sentenced to life) and Alan Colie (found guilty on a mixed verdict, and ironically sentenced the day prior to the release of this USCCA video). Full disclosure--some of that criticism has come from me, and can be found here:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/usccaHaving watched Tim's video, however, I can't help but note that it fails to actually address key concerns about how USCCA handled the Giles and Colie cases, and therefore fails to address concerns about how much trust USCCA members can confidently place in the organization to "have their backs," as USCCA marketing materials proclaim. Today's Law of Self Defense Show will be a response to this USCCA video, explaining my remaining concerns and where I see Tim's explanations of the Giles and Colie cases to fall short.

You use deadly defensive force because you believe your attacker is coming at you with a knife in hand, and you kill that aggressor--but it later turns out the "knife" was merely a large, black magic marker.  In fact, you were MISTAKEN about the threat you perceived.Does that mistake invalidate your legal justification of self-defense?Exactly just this mistake happened to Denver police recently, and this week the local prosecutor released his written decision on whether to charge the officers involved.In today's Law of Self Defense show we cover that event, the DA's charging decision, and the general legal principles around mistakes in self-defense.Join me LIVE at Noon ET to discuss!Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Attorney David Betras, a self-described "Super Lawyer" out of Ohio, with claimed expertise in criminal defense law, recently published an opinion piece entitled "Age of dueling returns with ’stand your ground’ gun laws in U.S."In that article he concludes: "The stand-your-ground law is dangerous enough, it shouldn’t be the avenue for the resurgence of the duel."Could this be true?

Yesterday the internet fed my email a whole series of e-articles written by various (purportedly human) authors on the topic of Stand-Your-Ground law in different states.  The legal accuracy of these articles ranged from OK to just wrong.  It then occurred to me that all these suddenly produced articles on the same topic and of similar degrees of bad legal takes might well be the product of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to produce internet content. In today's Law of Self Defense Show we'll take a look at some of those articles, juxtapose with with the actual self-defense law from the states covered, and more generally discuss why you MUST NOT TRUST AI-produced self-defense law.Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Alivia Schwab, a 40-year-old mother of three, was under the care of mental health counselors for serious mental issues, and had only recently been returned to her apartment from institutionalization. On September 29, Schwab had her counselor on the phone, and was threatening to kill herself with a knife. The counselor notified the police so they could intervene.Morris IL police officers Nick Pampinella and Casie Price responded to the call, encountering Swab as she stood in the open door of her apartment. Schwab had a cell phone in her right hand, held to her ear. In her left hand she held a knife.  As Officer Pampinella ordered her to drop the knife while holding her at gunpoint, Schwab advanced relentlessly towards him, culminating in a sudden rush that led Pampinella to shoot her. Schwab died instantly. Throughout this encounter Officer Price demonstrated what can only be described as utter competence. In particular, even as the officers initially approached Schwab's apartment, Pampinella had instructed Price to be prepared to use non-lethal force (this would be in the form of her Taser). In fact, Price made absolutely no preparation to do so, under circumstances where Price's effective use of her Taser would likely have made it unnecessary for Pampinella to use deadly force upon Schwab.In other words, but for Price's apparent incompetence, Schwab could well still be alive. Schwab's three children--all under 18 at the time of her death--have now filed a §1983 Federal lawsuit against Officers Pampinella and Price, as well as their department. Today we examine both the video of this tragic shooting, the legal justification of Pampinella's use of force, and whether there actually exists legal liability in civil court for Price's apparent incompetence as a police officer.Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

A question that comes up with some regularity is what are the legal consequences if a round fired in self-defense unintentionally kills an innocent bystander.Is the defender guilty of murder of that bystander? Of manslaughter? Is there any legal liability at all? And, whatever the answer--why? What's the underlying legal doctrine?I've addressed this question many times, but last week a Law of Self Defense Member asked during Friday's live stream about a case out of the Kansas Supreme Court that he believed suggests my answer is wrong--or, at least, is contradicted by that particular case.Is it possible? Did Attorney Andrew F. Branca make a mistake about use-of-force law?It's certainly POSSIBLE--like all of you, I'm merely human. And I always appreciate the possibility being brought to my attention, as that ensures I keep my use-of-force law expertise as sharp as possible.In this particular case, however, the Kansas case cited is exactly consistent with my usual explanation of how the law treats bystander killings--and in today's show I'll share that case with you and explain why I'm still right. :-) THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

An apparently crazy woman apparently attempted to burn down the birth home of Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta.Fortunately, two tourists from Utah saw what was happening and intervneed to stop her.Next, two off-duty police from New York City made a citizen's arrest and held her for Atlanta police.This is, of course, exactly what society should want these citizens to do.But was ANY of it lawful?

Today I read through a recent #NRA magazine article by Sheriff Jim Wilson--whose work I much enjoy, including this piece I'll be treating with some modest criticism. Sheriff Wilson has much good advice and accurate observations in this article, but nevertheless falls prey to perhaps the most common failing in otherwise well-informed people when it comes to the legal use of force--the conflation of weapons law, on the one hand, and use-of-force law on the other. Treating these two entirely distinct areas of the law as if they overlapped or are in any substantive manner related can only foster confusion in the mind of the public interested in being able to defend themselves, their family, and their property from criminal predation, and diminishes the clarity of understanding necessary to remain within the legal boundaries of both. Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Back on April 2 of this year DoorDash delivery guy Alan Colie found himself confronted in a shopping mall food court by two aggressive pranksters, the leader of whom was one Tanner Cook. Colie would ultimately shoot Cook once, causing serious but not fatal injuries. Colie would be charged with malicious wounding, firing of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and and discharging a firearm in a building--all felonies. Colie's sole legal defense to all three charges was the justification of self-defense.In September Colie was acquitted by jury of the malicious wounding and use of a firearm in commission of a felony charges, but found guilty of the lesser discharging a firearm in a building charge. The trial judge declined the defense request to dismiss the conviction on the grounds that it was inconsistent with the acquittals, which necessarily required the jury to find self-defense.Sentencing is scheduled for December 21, and Colie is looking at a maximum of 5 years.I originally did a legal breakdown of this event in the Law of Self Defense Show of October 2, but I return to the event today for reasons having less to do with the legal merits of the case and more to do with the role that "self-defense insurance" company USCCA may have played--or, rather, may have refused to pay.Evidence in this case suggests that Colie was a member of USCCA at the time of the shooting, that Colie called USCCA immediately after the shooting (as USCCA instructs its members to do), and that USCCA may have refused to honor its purported commitment to Colie to cover his legal expenses in this self-defense trial.This rings all too consistent with how USCCA similar refused to cover USCCA member Kayla Giles after she claimed self-defense following the shooting of her estranged husband in September 2018. Giles would later be found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life plus 30 years, a conviction later affirmed on appeal. To what extent her conviction was the result of her being denied desperately needed legal resources by USCCA can never be known.This was all brought to my attention again in recent days by Law of Self Defense Member Floyd, who linked me to an interesting discussion of the Colie case and the relevance of USCCA to that case on the video channel of Attorneys Marc Victor and Andy Marcantel--both of whom I've had personal conversation in the past, and who strike me as smart and capable attorneys. Floyd also linked me to some news stories that raise similar questions.So, did USCCA refuse to cover another of their members in a self-defense case? In today's show we'll take a look at the available evidence.Learn why CCW Safe is the ONLY "Self-Defense Insurance" I TRUST!lawofselfdefense.com/trustLearn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

APOLOGIES FOR THE POOR AUDIO QUALITY! One of our Law of Self Defense Platinum Members, who I'll identify as Rich, reached out to us recently to ask about an apparent contradiction in the home defense law of his state.(Platinum Members have a special Q&A form that allows them to submit questions directly to me, to be answered either privately or publicly--learn how to become a Platinum Member NOW for only 82 cents a day by going to https://lawofselfdefense.com/82cents)The home defense statute provides a generous provision for use of deadly force when dealing with an intruder into one's home.However, the home defense JURY INSTRUCTION, which is the only law a jury would hear in a home defense trial, so sharply limits the statute that it all but eliminates any special privilege for home defense.The difference means that any home defender who relied in good faith on the statute would find themselves convicted and sentenced to as much as life in prison if the jury relied in good faith on the jury instruction.How can this be?

This past Monday morning 20-year-old George Obregon Jr. approached rapper Nardo Wick after Wick's performance at a Tampa night club, for the purpose of asking if he could take a photo with the rapper. The encounter was captured on video.As he approached, Obregon was viciously punched by a large man standing beside the rapper, and appeared to suffer an immediate brain injury.  Obgregon was then punched to the ground by a smaller man standing beside the rapper, striking his head on the ground.At last report Obregon was hospitalized in critical but stable condition.In today's show we'll explore the potential criminal and civil liability of the men who punched Obregon, as well as the potential civil liability of the rapper Wick.  As part of that discussion we'll also address the legal defenses that might be raised by any of those parties.Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Today's Law of Self Defense Show focuses on video of a convenience store armed robbery in which both the clerk and customer being robbed appear completely compliant with the robbers' demands.Despite this compliance, the customer is shot through the head, and the clerk is gunned down as well, both with apparent fatal results. This video is an abject lesson that compliance cannot guarantee safety at the muzzle of a bad guy's gun.  So if you find yourself the victim of an armed robbery, should you simply comply? Should you promptly fight back? Should you think through that tactical problem TODAY, rather than in the moment?

Today’s show focuses on the question of when is a defender legally permitted to shoot first, and we’ll explore that question with several shootings captured on video.Fair warning—each of these videos shows people being shot, sometimes with apparently fatal results.If that makes you uncomfortable, no shame, but this might not be the show for you.I should also point out that we don’t have all the facts for each of these videos that would allow us to come to some definite conclusion about whether these particular shootings are likely lawful or not.Nevertheless, the videos are useful as providing frameworks within which we can understand how to properly frame the legal questions, through which more fully developed facts would get us to a legally sound answer.

Today’s show covers two men who used guns in defense of either themselves or others, only to find themselves promptly and firmly punished by the legal system that routinely allows criminals to walk free. Ironically, both men are from New York City, though the events took place on opposite sides of the nation.The first of these is Vince Ricci, a retired New Yorker who now lives in Los Angeles. At around 7:30 PM on Saturday, Nov. 4, Ricci was about to enter his home carrying a cup of coffee, when he suddenly found himself the victim of an armed robbery by two men.  Ricci managed to get his own pistol into action and drove the two men off with gunfire.  This event was caught on video, which we’ll share with you today.This week we learned that Los Angeles County, the issuing authority for gun permits in LA, has revoked Ricci’s concealed carry permit. The second man we’re discussing today is New Yorker John Rote. Rote was on a subway platform when he happened to see a woman being mugged by an apparently deranged homeless man.  Rote retrieved a revolver from his backpack and used it to drive the mugger away—including by imprudently firing two warning shots.Rote was immediately arrested, charged with multiple crimes, and is currently out on bail awaiting prosecution.  Not helpful to Rote’s circumstances is that the woman victim has announced that she became most frightened when she realized Rote had brought a gun to her defense.So, with that introduction, let’s dive into today’s show. Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It's rare but very pleasant to come across a solid use-of-force legal analysis by another lawyer, so I was pleased to see exactly that happen with the account @JaimePretellEsq with respect to a use-of-force event that occurred recently in Florida.In this event, two white men beside an SUV appear to be mocking a black man outside a strip mall, and the black man ultimately presents a gun and shoots them as they attempt to flee. One of the victims was injured and the other was killed, and the shooter is now charged with murder.The event was captured on video, which I'll share with you in today's show.Attorney Jame Pretell did a sound job analyzing this use-of-force event on Twitter, and he seems an account worth a follow--certainly I followed him.

A car wash clerk in Concord CA find himself the victim of a felony robbery carried out by a masked woman wielding a large knife, at various points holding the point of the knife within inches of the clerk's neck. The robbery was captured on video, which we'll share with all of you today.The clerk is entirely compliant with the robbery, and makes no effort to either resist or defend himself--even when the robber momentarily places her knife down on the register in order to more expeditiously rifle the drawer.Could the clerk have seized the knife? Could he have then used it on the robber? Could the clerk, if armed with a pistol, have used that pistol as deadly defensive force upon the robber?That's what we'll discuss in today's Law of Self Defense Show!Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Last Thursday, on November 9, Ralph Bouzy ambushed several police officers, using his speeding car as a deadly weapon to cause several of the officers critical injuries--at last report there was a good chance one officer would lose a leg.  Bouzy then exited his crashed car, and advanced on the officers, including one officer seriously injured in the intentional ramming attack.Not that it should matter, but this is the racially energized world we live in:  Bouzy is black, and the officers involved appear to be white.Ultimately, the officers took Bouzy into custody using their non-deadly force Tasers to compel Bouzy's compliance with arrest. Bouzy is now charged with three counts of attempted murder.The question arises, however, whether any one or perhaps several of the officers involved would have been legally privileged to have used deadly force upon Bouzy--specifically, their service pistols--rather than limiting themselves to their non-deadly force Tasers.Join us as we discuss this issue in today's Law of Self Defense Show!Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Right now, this very week in Wisconsin a man named Michael Mattioli is being tried for murder of Joel Acevedo on the grounds that Acevedo died as a result of the choke hold placed by Mattioli. The defendant claims he applied the chokehold for the sole purpose of self-defense, and only to the extent necessary for self-defense—and yet he could end up convicted of murder and spend the rest of his life in prison.Daniel Penny placed drug addict Jordan Neely in a purported choke hold on May 1 of this year, in defense of himself and other passengers on a NYC subway car.Neely died during the struggle, and now Penny is charged with second-degree (reckless) manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide (reckless, inattentive, careless).Earlier this year I participated in the legal defense of a Colorado man tried for murder, reckless manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide after he placed a man in a chokehold in self-defense, and the man died.(We secured that defendant’s acquittal, with the jury telling us afterwards that my expert witness testimony was key to their decision to acquit.)I believe there’s something else than murder or manslaughter at play in these and other instances in which chokeholds have been associated with death, under circumstances in which the person who placed the choke was utterly shocked that the death occurred.Let's discuss!Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

I recently came across video of a violent interaction between a uniformed police officer making a traffic stop and the driver of the stopped vehicle. The encounter went poorly for the officer.Of particular note was the remarkably high level of both gun handling and aggression on the part of the stopped driver, who aggressively engaged the officer with gun fire and even pursued the officer while continuing to fire.This event raises the important question of just how much training a normal law-abiding citizen needs if they are to be prepared to lawfully defend themselves, their family, and their property from violent criminal predation. We discuss that and more in today’s Law of Self Defense Show!Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Most people think of Brazilian Jui-Jitsu (BJJ) as a non-deadly means of self-defense, and imagine using such skills to defend against a non-deadly force attack.There are, however, many techniques in BJJ that readily qualify as deadly force--because the definition of "deadly force" include not only force that can kill but also force that causes serious bodily injury.  The many joint locks in BJJ that can utterly destroy a joint certainly would qualify as deadly force if carried to completion. Of course, there ARE circumstances in which using BJJ as deadly defensive force IS lawful. Today we share a video of a BJJ expert who successfully defends himself against an aggressor armed with a knife, and use that video as a platform to explore the circumstances in which the use of BJJ as deadly defensive force would be legally justified. Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

You're ambushed by a deadly criminal predator--fortunately, you manage to instantly inflict a mortal injury on him. Can you continue to use deadly defensive force even though you've effectively already killed your attacker?Today's show addresses this important questions--and does so in a way that also documents your knowledge so that it can be shared with a jury if you're ever criminally charged in this kind of scenario.In today's show we both explain the importance of documenting your specialized knowledge to ensure that you are hard to convict if ever compelled to defend yourself and your family (in the public portion of the show), and we also share a very blood video of a gunfight in a bank that precisely illustrates and documents today's question (in the members-only portion of today's show.

This past Sunday night Jason Pass was filmed fatally shooting Bladimy Mathurin (47) and Chinwai Mode (27) in a Brooklyn NY hallway. This morning, Pass charged at police with a 6" knife, and this time it was he who was fatally shot, by police. The shooting on Sunday involving Pass and his two victims have raised some questions on social media about whether this use of deadly force could potentially have qualified as lawful self-defense--in part because Mathurin had initially approached aggressively into Pass' personal space while holding up a pair of scissors.Join me today LIVE at Noon ET as we break down this use-of-force event, applying actual New York State use-of-force legal principles, and note where a claim of self-defense would have more, or less merit!#JasonPass #Brooklyn #BladimyMathurin #ChinwaiModeLearn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

This past Saturday, October 28, hockey player Adam Johnson had his neck fatally slashed by the ice skate of opposing player Matt Petgrave.  The event was captured on video, which we'll share in today's show. CAUTION: The video shows the infliction of a fatal injury. The legal questions then arise:  First, was this an intentional use of force by Petgrave on Johnson? Second, if intentional, would this killing be murder, manslaughter, or negligent homicide?These questions require both a legal and factual analysis in order to arrive at a reasoned answer, and we'll tackle both of those in the context of the video of the event in today's show. I do note that this event took place in the United Kingdom, not America. As is our practice, however, we'll analyze this event using American principles of law.

On Wednesday night a man identified as Robert Card engaged in a mass shooting, with news reports indicating as many as 18 people killed and many more wounded.  Photos indicated he used an AR-pattern rifle to commit his vicious attack on innocents. It may seem counterintuitive that a madman gunning down innocent victims represents one of the SIMPLEST self-defense scenarios an armed citizen might encounter, but in fact that's the case.

Late last week several purported Seattle police officers began attempting a violent intrusion into an Auburn WA home (Auburn, incidentally is a full 17 miles outside of the Seattle city limits). The homeowner, perhaps finding the claims of these intruders to be police as less than credible, responds by firing a fussilade of rounds through his own front door at the intruders, inducing them to flee.Could this be a lawful use of force in self-defense and defense of dwelling? Even if the homeowner was shooting blindly through the door and unable to visually target specific intruders? What about the risks of that gun fire to innocent neighbors? What if the intruders had turned out to be actual police serving a no knock warrant?

Today's show is a reading of an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") filed in the case of US v. Rahimi, which is proceeding to the US Supreme Court from the 5th Circuit.Rahimi involves the question of whether a presumptively law-abiding American citizen can be denied their Second Amendment rights when constrained by a domestic violence restraining order, in the absence of any finding of dangerousness on behalf of the person constrained by the order.Although gun control propagandists will argue that Rahimi is about giving guns to domestic abusers, in fact Second Amendment advocates readily agree Second Amendment rights can be denied to people demonstrated to be dangerous.It is the absence of any showing of dangerousness that is key to Rahimi.A recent 3-judge panel decision out of the 5th Circuit finding that the deprivation of Second Amendment rights as a consequence of a civil domestic violence restraining order in the absence of a showing of dangerousness is an unconstitutional infringement of the Second Amendment.Today's show will be my reading of an amici curiae authored by Second Amendment law giant Attorney David Kopel, and friend of the Law of Self Defense community, Attorney Konsta Moros.  In this amici curiae Kopel and Moros present powerful legal argument in support of the 5th Circuit decision read yesterday.Enjoy the show!THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

No lawyer can be said to be engaged in good faith critical thinking if he’s not amenable to a reasoned change in opinion.

I was recently sent video of an instance in which a bystander's modest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills were nevertheless sufficient to save the life of a pregnant police officer who was struggling with a violent and apparently deranged criminal suspect.It's also notable that I started my own BJJ just over a year ago (with about half that time off for medical reasons), and I share some of my choices, insights, and experiences.Spoiler: As you. might expect, a large part of my choosing BJJ in particular was because it is an exceptionally LEGALLY-SOUND martial art. Enjoy the show!THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

A man--who happens to be black--enters a Houston TX area gun store and immediately takes money from an unattended register. As he's departing the store, another man--who happens to be white--engages the black man with a revolver, killing him.That white man has now been indicted by a grand jury on a charge of murder, and a lawyer interviewed by the media about this case states unequivocally that the shooter's conduct was "outside the bounds of the law."

This week the 9th Circuit, sitting en banc, granted a request by California's Attorney General to leave in place the state's current ban on standard-capacity magazines.In doing so, they stand in open rebellion against the United States Supreme Court--purportedly their superiors--in their refusal to even pretend to apply the constitutional legal analysis required the the Court's decision in Bruen.Join me today as I read the petulant 6-page majority opinion continuing the denial of Second Amendment rights to law-abiding Californians.Much more importantly, I also read the substantive 36-page dissent which would find the standard-capacity magazine ban unconstitutional. This dissent is a solidly grounded legal analysis deeply sourced in the Supreme Court's modern Second Amendment jurisprudence, including Heller, McDonald, and Bruen.It also reflects appropriate outrage at the feckless 9th Circuit majority.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

We normally think of OC (pepper) spray as being a less-than-lethal defensive weapon useful for dealing with non-deadly attacks.But what happens when OC is used OFFENSIVELY?  In this real-world case captured on video, that offensive use of OC led directly to the death of the OC aggressor.Worth considering also is how an OFFENSIVE use of OC differs from a DEFENSIVE use, in terms of use-of-force law and real-world tactical options.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE INSURANCE PROVIDE I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

Watching hundreds of Israeli citizens being massacred, raped, and kidnapped by violent Hamas invaders has been utterly horrific.Sadly, these atrocities were made all the easier because Israel generally prohibits the private possession of arms for purposes of self-defense. There is no "Israeli version" of America's Second Amendment. How differently would the last days have been if the victims of Hamas had been armed only as well as a typical American home, where the AR-pattern rifle is perhaps the most commonly owned long gun in the country?  Then, at least the massacre would have come at an instant and substantial cost to the attackers.Today's show will be very brief, but very important--and it's really just a reading of a tweet from our friend of the Law of Self Defense community, Second Amendment Attorney Kosta Moros.  Kosta has been a guest on show before, and surely will be again, and I've always found him to be exceptionally thoughtful on the law generally and the Second Amendment in particular.Incidentally, you can follow Kosta on Twitter here, and I urge that you do: @MorosKostasTHERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE INSURANCE PROVIDE I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

So, yesterday I got a 4-page, single-spaced, physically mailed, paper hate letter from the head of the CO Public Defender's Training Director.   Backstory: Earlier this year at their request I did a FREE (pro bono) legal consult/expert witness testimony for one of their indigent clients charged with MURDER & MANSLAUGHTER. Normally I charge a minimum of $10,000+ for this, did it forR FREE. Happy to in this particular case.  My consult/testimony was pivotal in securing that client's ACQUITTAL on ALL charges. Jury confirmed my value when interviewed after verdict, defense counsel used MY slides in his closing argument, etc.   PD office is happy with my work, they invite me to speak at their annual conference, which I do AGAIN FOR FREE, travel AT MY OWN EXPENSE, hundreds of dollars more.  Fine, no worries.  THEN THEY APPARENTLY LOOKED AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA, and realized that I "don't share their values on equity and inclusion."   And they felt compelled to explain this to me in a SINGLE-SPACED, FOUR-PAGE PHYSICALLY MAILED letter I received today.   Worst part: They WANT BACK the sexually ambiguous public defender's T-shirt they had given me in thanks for speaking at the conference.  AND they've PROHIBITED me from wearing the T-shirt on my social media.  LAW OF SELF DEFENSE ADVANCED CLASS: LAST FOR 2023!This is our full-day class on use-of-force law--defense of yourself, defense of your family, defense of your property--taught by legal expert Atty.

Earlier this week I read the 71-page decision of Judge Roger Benitez, a Federal trial court judge, in holding (FOR THE SECOND TIME) that California's standard-capacity magazine violates the Second Amendment.Obviously, the gun controllers are losing their minds over this decision, and so it was well-anticipated that the California Attorney General, Bonta, would appeal the ruling to the 9th Circuit.Instead of following normal 9th Circuit procedure and have the matter proceed to a 3-judge appellate court, however--where the mag ban had PREVIOUSLY been found unconstitutional, only to be reversed by an en banc panel of the 9th--the 9th circuit has decided today (Sept. 28), to by-pass normal procedure and go straight to en banc.Reversing 2A-favorable trial court and 3-panel appellate court rulings is a favored practice of the 9th Circuit, and reliably results in pro-2A rulings being overturned, usually in decisions that can only be described as irrational word salad. Interestingly, there were several dissents to this order taking the matter en banc, and THEY WERE ON FIRE!!!Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

This is part 2 of 2 of our discussion/reading of Duncan v. Bonta.Last week US District Court (Federal) Judge Roger Benitez handed down a ruling that California's ban on standard capacity magazines for firearms is unconstitutional.While this conclusion is simply obvious common sense, Judge Benitez was kind enough to explain the underlying constitutional reasoning behind this conclusion in a wonderfully-written 75-page decision that's loaded to the gills with citation to recent US Supreme Court Second Amendment jurisprudence--thus greatly strengthening this ruling from rational reversal.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Yesterday a judge dropped all charges, including murder, against former Philly police officer Mark Dial over the August 14 shooting death of non-compliant suspect Eddie Irizarry. The immediate result was rioting and widespread looting throughout Philadelphia. We have the full unedited body worn camera (BWC) footage of both officers involved in the encounter with Irizarry, as well as local surveillance camera footage, and we'll break those down in today's Law of Self Defense Show.Should the charges have been dismissed? Was this a lawful use of deadly force by Dial? Or was the killing of Irizarry simply murder, as the prosecution claims?Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member? WHY NOT?

This past Sunday a 78-year-old Florida man, Edward Druzolowski, shot dead his neighbor, 42-year-old Brian Ford, during a confrontation over Ford cutting trees on the shooter's property. This morning, prestigious Law Professor Jonathan Turley published a post on his blog about this event. Although in my experience Professor Turley generally produces world-class legal content--as his academic and legal success attest--this particular post struck me as effectively muddying and conflating a number of distinct use-of-force law doctrines and cases. So, with all due respect to Professor Turley, today's Law of Self Defense show will attempt to bring clarity to the muddied waters in today's blog post of this confrontation. #JonathanTurleyResourcesTree Cutting Dispute Leads to Murder Charges in Florida, Prof. Jonathan Turley (9/21/23)Burns v.

Earlier this year Federal law enforcement sought to execute a search warrant an a mother and her two adult sons for living unlawfully on Federal park land.Because one of the sons had previously made threatening statements, the arrest was made surreptitiously by plain-clothes officers pretending to need a jump-start for their truck.When one of the brothers, named Timber, prepared to help the as yet unidentified officers, they initiated his arrest. That brother then started screaming for help from his other brother, Brooks, who happened to move around in a wheelchair.Brooks rolled up in his wheelchair, saw his brother struggling with two men, and pointed a revolver at the two men. Unknown to Brooks he was more or less surrounded by other plain-clothes cops, who immediately began firing at him.  Brooks would survive the shooting, but be paralyzed through his gunshot injuries. (He is now suing the Federal government for $50 million.)Could it have been lawful for Brooks to point his revolver at the officers making a lawful arrest of his brother Timber?Could it have been unlawful for the officers to respond to Brooks' revolver with their own gunfire?That's what we discuss in today's PRE-RECORDED and MEMBERS-ONLY show!Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

UPDATE: The pro-Second Amendment forces have secured a Temporary. Restraining Order in Federal Court to FOIL Governess' Grisham's scheme to suspend the US Constitution within the Land of Enchantment!Last Friday--probably in the hopes that it wouldn't get too much media attention--New Mexico Governess Lujan Grisham decided that she had the legal authority to suspend the Second Amendment of the Constitution in two of her state's counties. Unfortunately for #LujanGrisham, her estrogenic overreach has invited a metric ton of political pushback, including calls for her impeachment, and public statements from New Mexico's leading law enforcement officers that they had zero interest in enforcing her unconstitutional order. Join us as we discuss both Grisham's inane order and the entirely proper political push back it has generated. We'll stream LIVE at Noon ET, Thursday, Sept. 14. BREAKING! Kostas Moros, an attorney with the CA firm of Michel & Associates, who has far more 2A expertise than do I, will join tomorrow's Law of Self Defense show to discuss NM Governess Lujan Grisham's attempt to suspend the US Constitution!Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

A Tennessee man working with his father suddenly sees his father's pickup truck being driven away by a thief. Father and son jump into the son's vehicle, and pursue the stolen pick-up, eventually catching up near some railroad tracks.The father and son approach the stolen truck, only to have the thief start waving a machete around. Unfortunately for the thief, it turned out he'd brought a machete to a gun fight, and the son responded to the edged weapon threat with a pistol shot that killed the thief.In today's show we discuss the legal dynamics around defense of personal property, and the legal dangers should a lawful defense of property escalate to a more ambiguous scenario of deadly force defense of persons.BONUS FOR LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBERS: We'll also be covering a just released video of one man apparently beating another to death in the street, when the victim's girlfriend jumps onto the killer.Unfortunately, this poor tactical plan ends up with her being slammed to the ground, reportedly suffering a broken neck.In this bonus MEMBERS ONLY segment of today's show we'll discuss the circumstances in which a fist-fight--generally deemed a non-deadly force confrontation--can escalate to the point that deadly defensive force is justified. We'll also explore various defense of others options to such a scenario.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member? WHY NOT?

Earlier this year 18-year-old United Kingdom prankster @SecretMizzy (real name: Bacari O'Garro) and a couple of friends simply walked into the home of a family of strangers.  The pranksters pretended they had come for a fictional study group, and made themselves comfortable on the sofa. O'Garro had played similar pranks where he abruptly sat down in other people's occupied vehicles. Of course we only do US law here at Law of Self Defense--but how might various states privilege a homeowner to use force, including deadly force, against such a prank?That's what we explore in today's PRE-RECORDED Law of Self Defense Show.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

On June 1, 2023 a masked 14-year-old Jor'Dell Richardson threatened a liquor store clerk with an apparent pistol, committing an armed robbery along with several other masked young black men. Police arrived as the 14-year and other robbers fled the store carrying armfuls of merchandise.Police chased and tackled Richardson to the ground, at which point they became aware of the apparent pistol in his waistband. During the struggle on the ground Richardson attempted to reach for the apparent pistol, at which point he was shot and killed by the arresting officers. It would later be discovered that Richardson's apparent pistol was, in fact, a BB gun. Last week the local prosecutor released his report on this Officer Involved Shooting, concluding that a prosecution of the officers involved with not be legally or ethically justified.

Today's show takes a dive into the self-defense law questions submitted by our Platinum Members, who have access directly to me to submit their inquiries about self-defense law and self-defense/defense of others/defense of property hypotheticals. These tend to be wide-ranging, open-mic, where I don't pre-screen the questions ahead of time, so even I don't know what topics we'll end up covering.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

In yesterday's live stream a Law of Self Defense member (hat tip, SirBrass) brought to my attention an interesting facet of Indiana's self-defense immunity law, and helpfully provided me with the actual statute--and, indeed, the immunity law seems interesting enough to warrant an entire show.Indeed, all of Indiana's self-defense statutes are fairly interesting, so this Law of Self Defense show will focus on the self-defense law of the Hoosier state!Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Effective September 1, 2023, the Great State of Texas now provides self-defense immunity to both churches as institutions as well as to the individuals who serve churches as armed security.We take a look at this new legislation, and explore how it differs from more common self-defense immunity provisions around the country, as well as to what extent it might prove a model for adoption by other states.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

On August 24, 2023, Ta'kiya Young decided to drive her car into an Ohio police officer. That officer fired a single round through her windshield, causing mortal injury. Unknown to the officer, Young was pregnant, and the baby was also lost.Police were stopping Young as she sat in her car in a shopping parking lot because she was suspected of stealing alcohol from a local store. Young was, of course, non-compliant with lawful orders, to the point of threatening a police officer with imminent deadly force.As it happens, Young was black, and the officers involved were white, so we have fertile ground for the racial polarization of this case. Was this shooting of Young lawful? Should the officers involved be given the Derek Chauvin treatment? Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

​A homeowner in Wichita Falls TX awakens in the middle of the night to find an intruder breaking into his home. Lacking a firearm, the homeowner resorts to the weapons he does have at hand--and that happens to be a short spear!  As it happens, the homeowner happens to be a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a group that role-plays old World combat wearing real armor and replica swords and spears. And he saw his opportunity, and took it, punching his short spear into the guts of the home intruder. In this Law of Self Defense show we discuss this event, as well as how the law views the use of various types of weapons in deadly defensive force--particularly unusual or esoteric weapons.  Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

A female security guard in a New Orleans library found herself the target of a man's ire. As the man ran from the library with the guard in pursuit, he purportedly threw both a rock and his cell phone at her, then continued fleeing. Her response? To draw her pistol and pew-pew at him 11 times, striking him 7 times.  At last report, the man was in the hospital and expected to survive his wounds. The throwing and pew-pewing was captured on video from two angles, and we'll break down that video in our usual plain-English Law of Self Defense style. Could this possibly be a lawful use of deadly defensive force by the security guard? Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member? WHY NOT?

The Law of Self Defense community is very fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy this live interview of Ohio State Representative Josh Williams (R), who is on the front lines to strengthen his state's self-defense law.Along with colleagues he is fighting to advance HB233, a bill that would create a pre-trial opportunity for a defender to be granted a legal presumption that their use of defensive force was lawful.Representative Williams has kindly agreed to be interviewed for our community, to discuss the political dynamics around passing such a bill, and hopefully to discuss what the future might hold in further transforming Ohio from the WORST state for self-defense to the BESTBecome a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

On October 21, 2021, actor #AlecBaldwin pointed what he knew to be a real gun at Ukrainian cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, while filming on the set of the movie "Rust" in New Mexico, without first ensuring that the real gun was not loaded, and shot and killed her. On these simple facts alone Alec Baldwin's conduct in the death of Halyna Hutchins qualifies as involuntary manslaughter under New Mexico law every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Although Baldwin was initially charged with manslaughter, that charge was dropped in April of this year, for reasons that can have nothing to do with legal merit.  That said, the charges were dropped WITHOUT PREJUDICE, and prosecutors reserved the privilege to refile if new evidence consistent with guilt developed.Last week we learned that, indeed, new evidence of guilt has developed.  A state report by a firearms examiner has concluded that the pistol in Alec Baldwin's hand that killed Hutchins could not have fired without the trigger being pulled--despite Baldwin's protestations that the gun did precisely that, discharging without him depressing the trigger. Does this mean that we can look forward to some genuine criminal justice in the criminal killing of Halyna Hutchins?  Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

The Ohio legislature is considering House Bill 233 which would re-write the state's self-defense law to provide for self-defense immunity--the right to have a low-cost pre-trial hearing determine a claim of self-defense, and avoid the terrible cost, time, and risks of a full-blown trial.A quick read of the proposal suggests that this would be the MOST POWERFUL self-defense immunity privilege anywhere in America.On top of Ohio in 2019 finally placing the burden on the state to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt (as every other state has done for many years), and on 2021 having become a stand-your-ground state, the adoption of this powerful self-defense immunity law may well make result in Ohio shifting from having the nation's WORST self-defense laws (pre-2019) to having the MOST FAVORABLE self-defense law anywhere in America.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

The night of February 18, 2023 a Colorado Deputy pulled over 28-year-old Brent Thompson, and sought to arrest him for suspected driving under the influence, and other charges.Thompson fled from the Deputy on foot, towards Interstate 25. The Deputy pursued, shouting commands.As Thompson stepped onto I25 the Deputy effectively TASERd Thompson, who fell to the roadway. Moments later, Thompson was struck and killed by a passing vehicle.All of this was caught on the Deputy's body worn camera.Recently the local District Attorney announced that the Deputy involved would face no criminal charges over the arrest-associated death of Thompson. Fortunately for us, the DA also released both a detailed written analysis, as well as held a virtual town hall meeting explaining his decision to not charge.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

On August 9, 2023, a three-judge Federal Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit reversed the conviction of Patrick Daniels, a habitual marijuana user who at trial had been found guilty of violating a federal statute making it a felony for unlawful users of drugs to be in possession of firearms.Daniels had been found with a pistol and rifle in his vehicle during a traffic stop. Following his conviction Daniels was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison.This Court of Appeals found in this 3-0 decision that the relevant statute, §922(g)(3), as applied to Daniels, violated the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Accordingly the court reversed his conviction and even dismissed the indictment against him.Today's show is largely a straight-through reading of US v. Daniels.Enjoy!RESOURCESUnited States v.

This Law of Self Defense Show shares a couple of stories of citizens acting in defense of themselves against violent aggressors--but not merely as a simple act of self-defense, but also within the context of highly-defensible property.One of these cases involves a North Carolina woman who last week shot a man attempting to enter her vehicle following a road rage incident, and another involves a Phoenix man who just yesterday shot an unwelcome 1 AM visitor into his home.How does the context of highly-defensible reduce the legal risks when using deadly defensive force?  That's precisely what we'll discuss today!RESOURCESLaw of Self Defense State-Specific CoursesBecome a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

This week saw the sentencing of former police officer Tou Thao over the in-custody death of #GeorgeFloyd on May 25, 2020. Thao is the final of the four police officers charged and persecuted over Floyd's death.Every facet of these persecutions has been little more than a legal travesty and racial lynching, given the utter lack of evidence that any of these officers caused Floyd's death given the many other lethal factors driving Floyd's demise.These lethal factors included Floyd's 3x fatal level of fentanyl in his blood, his just having swallowed meth tablets to avoid discovery, his substantially enlarged heart, his severe hypertension, his 70% occluded coronary arteries, and his own decision to violently fight lawful arrest for 10 minutes.In the context of these undisputed facts no reasonable jury could have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers involved in Floyd's arrest caused his death--so the jury's verdicts of guilty can only be unreasonable, and a legal travesty.And THAT is the topic of this episode of the Law of Self Defense!Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

In today's show Attorney Andrew Branca begins a reading of part 7 of 7 of the 2010 US Supreme Court decision of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen.  This part 6 of the reading of Bruen covers the second half of the dissenting opinion written by Justice Breyer, with Justices Kagan and Sotomayor concurring.Bruen is the seminal 2022 Supreme Court decision written by the Justice Clarence Thomas extending Heller's (2008) holding that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an individual right to apply to FEDERAL government, as well as McDonald's (2010) holding that the 2A right also applied to the STATES, to hold that the 2A also protected the right to keep and bear arms outside the home, in public.As a result, the New York state law requiring a showing a special need for public carry of a firearm that was challenged by NYSRPA was ruled unconstitutional, thus rendering essentially all "may issue" concealed carry regimes unconstitutional.This reading of Bruen is the entirety of the decision, both majority by Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Gorsuch, as well as concurrences by Justices Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Alito,and also the dissent by Justice Breyer, joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan. (Bruen was a 6 to 3 decision.)As a result, this very lengthy reading is divided into seven manageable portions--the first four of which are Justice Thomas' majority opinion.As a result, this very lengthy reading is divided into seven manageable portions--the first four of which are Justice Thomas' majority opinion.Prior this starting this reading of Bruen I had already read the 2008 US Supreme Court majority decision of Heller (which found that the 2A was an INDIVIDUAL right with respect ot the FEDERAL government), as well as the 2010 US Supreme Court decision of McDonald (which found that the 2A also applied to the STATES).You can read the entirety the NYSRPA v.

In today's show Attorney Andrew Branca begins a reading of part 2 of 2 of the 2010 US Supreme Court decision of McDonald v. Chicago.McDonald is the seminal 2010 Supreme Court decision written by the Justice Samuel Alito extending the finding that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an individual right to apply to the STATES and not merely to the Federal government (extending the finding of the 2008 Heller decision against the Federal government, written by Justice Scalia, which I read here).As a result, the then-existing laws of Chicago and nearby Oak Park effectively prohibiting the ownership by American citizens of handguns in the home was deemed unconstitutional.Prior this reading of McDonald I had already read the 2008 US Supreme Court majority decision of Heller, and I will follow McDonald with a reading of the 2022 decision of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v.

 today's show Attorney Andrew Branca reads part 4 of a 4-part reading of the 2008 US Supreme Court decision of DC v. Heller.Heller is the seminal Supreme Court decision written by the brilliant (now deceased) Justice Antonin Scalia, finding that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an INDIVIDUAL right, and not merely a "right" of some government militia, and thus not subject to whimsical infringement by the Federal government.As a result, the then-existing laws of the District of Columbia (effectively, the Federal government) prohibiting the ownership by American citizens of handguns in the home was deemed unconstitutional.This reading of Heller concludes with this reading.  Note that I am reading ONLY Justice Scalia's majority opinion, and not any dissent.After Heller, I will also do readings of the two other seminal Second Amendment decisions from the US Supreme Court, "McDonald v. Chicago" (2010) (majority only) and "New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen" (2022) (entire decision).You can read the entirety of DC v.

Byrna is a company that manufactures various OC products for purposes of less-lethal self-defense (Byrna.com).Though I'm generally a fan of OC as a less-lethal self-defense options, I've for years had serious concerns about the product design choices made by Bryna--specifically, their production of less-lethal OC devices that closely resemble actual firearms. (Find all my aggregated postings on Byrna here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/byrna)This week I was made aware of another Byrna product offering that also raises concerns in my mind--OC delivery modules shaped identically to 12 gauge shotgun shells and intended to be fired through an actual 12 gauge shotgun.Why do I find these products so troubling?

Today's Law of Self Defense Show brings us the great joy of debunking yet ANOTHER utterly trash "study" of defensive gun use out of Harvard--specifically, the Harvard School of Public Health.I'd like to thank gun-control advocate Rob McIntyre (probably a fake name, goes by @canucktunes on Twitter, with 104 followers) for bringing this trash study to my attention when he raised it as an authoritative scientific study in support of gun control.BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Less than two weeks ago the Missouri Court of Appeals handed down a decision involving a self-defense case where the defender was accused of having been the initial aggressor in the confrontation--and because of that accusation the jury was given a very damaging "initial aggressor" jury instruction. The result: CONVICTION.Now that convict appeals his conviction on the grounds that it was the other guy who was actually the initial aggressor, and that the damaging "initial aggressor" jury instruction was reversible error.Does the appeal hold water?BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Although the decision is from 2017, it covers a number of interesting use-of-force decisions.In a Stand-Your-Ground state, does being engaged in unlawful activity at the time of the event cost you ONLY your Stand-Your-Ground privilee, or does it lose you the entirety of self-defense?Who decides if you were engaged in unlawful activity at the time--the trial judge, on the one hand, or the jury, on the other?Does the necessity defense apply when death is on the line?The decision also covers a number of useful legal doctrines it's always useful to keep fresh in mind, such as the difference between appellate review de novo versus appellate review to abuse of discretion, and more!This is a PRE-RECORDED show, given the July 4 weekend here in the US!BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

During the early morning hours of Friday, June 23, three San Antonio Police Department officers responded to the apartment of 46-year-old Melissa Perez, who appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis. Perez fled into her apartment, armed herself with a hammer, and as the three officers stood just outside her front door they shot and killed her. Those three officers have now been charged with murder. Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET on Monday, June 26, as we do our plain English legal analysis of this use-of-force event. BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

The terrible news of the Titanic submarine appearing to be lost at see with passengers aboard raises an interesting legal question--would it be lawful for some of the passengers to kill others so that their limited oxygen supply would last long, increasing the prospects for the killers to survive to rescue?An actual real-world case involving castaways at sea who killed one of their fellow survivors in order to increase their own prospects for survival occurred back in the 1880s, and was brought to trial in British courts at the time.We'll discuss the legal doctrines involved generally, and the 1884 British court decision specifically, in today's show.BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Today's show covers five use-of-force videos with interesting lessons to document. The first three videos are:1. Use of OC Spray against a knife robbery.2. Angry homeowner with pistol in hand yells at workers in street.3. Algerian man attacks French woman & child in home.The next two videos are of defensive gun uses, and both illustrate why it might well be tactically imperative and legally justifiable to fire a great number of rounds into the aggressor as quickly as possible. In both of these instances, merely one or two shots fired by the defender may well have left them vulnerable to being killed, justifying their perceived need to fire many more than a couple shots.YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO DOWNLOAD TODAY's LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBERS-ONLY TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S SHOW TO DOCUMENT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TACTICAL & LEGAL REALITY!4.

Yesterday, a New York City grand jury indicted Daniel Penny, who had been charged with second-degree (reckless) manslaughter in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely on a NYC subway on May 1.  Penny has claimed that he put Jordan in a restraining choke-hold position because Jordan had been making violent threats to the passengers on the subway car, and Penny was attempting to hold him for police.  Penny is white and Neely was black. Also yesterday, Jordan Williams was arrested on a charge of manslaughter for stabbing to death Devictor Ouedraogo, also on a NYC subway car, purportedly in defense of Williams' girlfriend from Ouedraogo's threatening conduct towards her.  Williams is black, and I'm unaware of Ouedraogo's race.These breaking news stories provide an opportunity for our Law of Self Defense community to take a deep dive into the legal dangers of defending others, and that's EXACTLY what we'll do in today's show.Join me LIVE at 11 AM today, Friday, June 16th to discuss the dangers of defending others.Yesterday, a New York City grand jury indicted Daniel Penny, who had been charged with second-degree (reckless) manslaughter in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely on a NYC subway on May 1.  Penny has claimed that he put Jordan in a restraining choke-hold position because Jordan had been making violent threats to the passengers on the subway car, and Penny was attempting to hold him for police.  Penny is white and Neely was black. Also yesterday, Jordan Williams was arrested on a charge of manslaughter for stabbing to death Devictor Ouedraogo, also on a NYC subway car, purportedly in defense of Williams' girlfriend from Ouedraogo's threatening conduct towards her.  Williams is black, and I'm unaware of Ouedraogo's race.These breaking news stories provide an opportunity for our Law of Self Defense community to take a deep dive into the legal dangers of defending others, and that's EXACTLY what we'll do in today's show.Join me LIVE at 11 AM today, Friday, June 16th to discuss the dangers of defending others.#DanielPenny #JordanNeely #JordanWilliams #DevictorOuedraogoBECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Today's show will address the question of whether displaying a gun towards another person for the purpose of changing their behavior is an act of deadly force--meaning, that you must first have been facing a deadly force threat, or your display of the gun would constitute felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.This question was addressed directly by a recent Florida state Supreme Court decision, and I'll be reading through and translating that decision into plain English for our Law of Self Defense community.Join us LIVE at 11 AM ET on Monday, June 12 for this show!BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Last Friday a black woman, Ajike Owens, was shot and killed by a white woman, Susan Lorincz, in Ocala FL, as Owens angrily approached Lorincz' front door over a years-long simmering acrimonious relationship. After several days of investigation Lorincz has been charged with manslaughter and other criminal offenses.I've not yet seen a sufficiently comprehensive set of facts that would allow a reasonable sense of whether this shooting was lawful self-defense or manslaughter.What I have seen, however, is the usual racial grievance industrial complex--led by the ubiquotous racial arsonist Attorney Benjamin Crump--spin up a comprehensive propaganda campaign about this unfortunate event. Of course, Crump does not work alone--the mainstream media and a plethora of social media accounts have jumped on board to dominate the narrative of this shooting.Particularly offensive to my eye is that once again Crump, and the media, and the social media lackeys are comprehensively lying about the relevant laws in this case--and if the public is misinformed about the relevant law, they can certainly not understand what the relevant legal questions are, and by extension can never arrive at the correct legal answer.Fortunately, we at Law of Self Defense are prepared to bring clarity to this propagandized septic tank of legal disinformation and misinformation, and we'll do that LIVE today at 10 AM ET. Note this is one hour earlier than our usual live stream time, as we need to be in court providing expert testimony later in the day.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

This year is the ten-year anniversary of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who successfully defended himself against a lethal attack by Trayvon Martin---and thus it should come as no surprise that the law side of the racial grievance industrial complex is using the opportunity to foster yet more racial hate and division by propagandizing and outright lying about the facts and law of that case.Yesterday I came across a law review article doing precisely this, concocted by one Professor of Law Martin S. Brodin and shamefully published by Marquette University Law School.So today, we'll do what we do best at Law of Self Defense--filter out the propaganda and lies and show you the truth of use-of-force law and the cases that involve those laws, focusing in today's live stream on debunking this work of hot racist garbage by Professor Brodin.#TrayvonMartin #GeorgeZimmermanLaw review paper: "The Legacy of Trayvon Martin--Neighborhood Watches, Vigilantes, Race, and Our Law of Self Defense," Mark S.

You might believe that if you keep yourself within the plain English reading of a statute, you'd be safe from criminal liability.In fact, you'd be mistaken in that belief. Statutes don't mean what their plain English reading might suggest they mean. As a result, following the plain English reading of a statute can easily trap you into a lengthy prison sentence.In doing a periodic update of our state-specific use-of-force law content for our Law of Self Defense Members I was reminded of a perfect illustration of this danger, which is what we'll be sharing with all of you in this live stream.Become a Law of Self Defense Member for JUST 99 CENTS!Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

In today's show we cover the recent successful appeal of a Washington state woman who had overturned her conviction on a charge of first-degree (reckless, unintentional) manslaughter over the stabbing death of abusive boyfriend. The reason for the reversal of the conviction? The woman's trial attorney--and, apparently, the trial court itself--MISTAKENLY believed that self-defense was not a legal defense to the crime of reckless manslaughter.It is true that the legal defense of self-defense operates in a subtly different manner when raised against reckless manslaughter than when raised against an intentional killing, and we'll discuss just how that works.The real take home message, however, is that it is extremely dangerous to presume that even a well-experienced criminal defense attorney is really comprehensively informed on the actual law of self-defense--and if they get it wrong, it's YOU who goes to prison. AMERICAN LAW COURSESGet a law-school level education in typical first-year (1L) law classes, including criminal law, constitutional law, evidence, property, and more, at a fraction of the cost and time of law school, and without any of the political toxicity of today's law schools.

In 2018 Officer William Darby, accompanied by two fellow officers, responded to the home of a suicidal Jeffrey Parker, who sat on his couch with a gun to his head. After Parker ignored repeated demands to put down his gun, Darby fired a single shotgun round into Parker, causing mortal injury. Darby would be charged with murder for this shooting.  His pre-trial self-defense immunity plea was rejected by the trial judge, and he was convicted of murder at trial and sentenced to 25 years.  This past March, however, Darby's conviction was overturned on grounds of improper jury instructions, and he was remanded for a re-trial. Darby sought immunity once again under the corrected legal standard, in front of a new trial judge, and last week immunity was denied again.Join me for an extensive recounting of the facts and law of these immunity hearings, trial, and a thorough reading of the appellate court decision reversing Darby's conviction--INCLUDING BODY CAM VIDEO OF THE USE-OF-FORCE EVENT (the video, however, will be streamed only to Law of Self Defense Members, to remain consistent with YouTube monetization policies).Darby v.

The gun control propagandists have launched a fresh wave of attacks on both gun ownership and self-defense, and of course the mainstream media is fully on board in driving forward this propaganda war on our civil rights.I've three examples of recent media reporting on the self-defense doctrine of "stand-your-ground."  Two of these, from PBS and FOX News, host "experts" (non-lawyer Prof. Robert Spitzer, SUNY Cortland and former Federal prosecutor Duncan Levin) who grossly misrepresent stand-your-ground law--whether that's out of political fecklessness or outright ignorance is hard to tell, the two look very similar in this context.The third example is from a local North Carolina news station, WCNC, and in this case I expect the guest lawyer (Gary Mauney, Mauney LLC) is well-informed on this law, but his communication of that expertise was absolutely mauled by the manner in which the station edited and communicated that knowledge to the audience, likely through no fault of Attorney Mauney's own.#standyourground #ralphyarl #PBS #FOXAMERICAN LAW COURSESGet a law-school level education in typical first-year (1L) law classes, including criminal law, constitutional law, evidence, property, and more, at a fraction of the cost and time of law school, and without any of the political toxicity of today's law schools.

Today's show is prompted by a news report of an Ohio woman just sentenced to two years in prison for having sicced two of her Pitt Bulls on a group of children, resulting in one 6-year-old girl requiring multiple emergency surgeries as a result of bites to her head and body. There are, of course, circumstances in which using a dog as a weapon could be perfectly lawful.  How does the law distinguish between the use of a dog as a weapon versus the use of any other defensive tool, such as a gun or pepper spray? #PittBulls #PittBullAMERICAN LAW COURSESGet a law-school level education in typical first-year (1L) law classes, including criminal law, constitutional law, evidence, property, and more, at a fraction of the cost and time of law school, and without any of the political toxicity of today's law schools.

As is common in high-profile, politically- and racially-charged shootings, I'm seeing an enormous amount of bad legal takes on whether the shooting of Ralph Yarl by Andrew Lester could possibly have been lawful.In fact, Missouri law explicitly allows for the use of deadly defensive force under the circumstances in which Lester encountered Yarl, and we'll explore that in today's show.One caveat--Yarl claims that the second time he was shot was while he was on the ground. I've seen no evidence to corroborate that claim, but there may well be forensic evidence decisive on that issue. If Yarl's claim is supported by the evidence, that second shot might be difficult to justify.  Any shots fired while Yarl was upright and apparently attempting to unlawfully enter Lester's dwelling, however, were almost certainly lawful under Missouri law.

In the late night hours of April 13, an 84-year-old homeowner living alone was awoken by someone banging on his front door. Lester prudently armed himself with a .32 caliber pistol, and opened his front door to respond to the person outside. Before him an unknown 6-foot-tall male, trespassing in violation of several no-trespassing signs, was attempting to force entry through his locked storm door--an apparent forcible home invasion. The homeowner shot at the attempted intruder twice, and the intruder fled. The homeowner then promptly called 911 to report the event.For this, the homeowner, Andrew Lester has been immediately targeted for racial arson by Benjamin Crump and others of his ilk, with a full-blown propaganda campaign raging across Twitter and news media demonizing Lester for having shot 16-year-old Ralph Yari simply for the "crime" of having rung Lester's doorbell.  Within a day Lester was charged by Prosecutor Zachary Thompson with the life felony of first-degree assault, as well as 15-year felony armed criminal action. Notably, Prosecutor Thompson informed the public that "It's been my goal from the very beginning to get justice for the child involved in the case." No mention was made of any interest in justice for Andrew Lester.Join me LIVE at 1 PM ET to discuss this newest travesty of justice being promulgated by Attorney Crump against yet another vulnerable victim of the racial grievance industrial complex. #AndrewLester #RalphYarlAMERICAN LAW COURSESGet a law-school level education in typical first-year (1L) law classes, including criminal law, constitutional law, evidence, property, and more, at a fraction of the cost and time of law school, and without any of the political toxicity of today's law schools.

Two days ago the defense team for Daniel Perry, found guilty this past Friday for the murder of Garrett Foster, filed a motion for a new trial. Normally such motions are really just a matter of going through some hand-waving, and rarely have any substantive basis for a new trial being granted. Indeed, most of the arguments made in this motion are rather esoteric or even outright silly.That said, there is one claim by the defense that, if true, completely INVALIDATES the guilty verdict returned by this trial's jury last Friday.ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT!NEW!

This past Monday, Attorney Steve Gosney had me on as a guest on his YouTube and Rumble channels.  I attempted to simul-stream that live show to the Law of Self Defense community, but of course I "boomered" it, and had to cut off the feed to our community after just a couple of minutes.Today I'm sharing with all of you the playback of that show, on the various Law of Self Defense channels (YouTube, Rumble, Twitter, and of course the LOSD Members dashboard).  That playback will go live at 2 PM ET. Steven's description of the show:"Andrew and I will discuss a recent Florida appellate decision out of Miami involving self defense and improper closing arguments.

Today we have a VERY special live guest: Dr. Markus Funk, a law professor and Partner at law firm Perkins Coie.You may recall that back on March 6 I did a show in which I critiqued an academic paper of Dr. Funk's that engaged in a comparison/contrast of US self-defense law with the defense laws of the UK and Germany. Dr. Funk's key point was that although US self-defense laws were wildly perceived as extremely liberal to the defender, in fact they were rather more constrained than were certain facets of the self-defense law of those two other nations.My quibbles with Dr. Funk's paper were mostly differences in perspective on various facets of self-defense law, rather than substantive, but it was a fun exercise for myself and the Law of Self Defense community.Little did I know that Dr. Funk--at the time a total stranger to me--would reach out to discuss my critique, and in a very open and non-defensive manner.  We've since enjoyed lunch together--thanks for buying, Markus!--and he agreed to come on the show as a guest--and today is that day!Join us LIVE at 4 PM ET!FUNK PAPER:  "Busting the Durable Myth That U.S. Self-Defense Law Uniquely Fails to Protect Human Life"Oxford University Comparative Law Centerhttps://tinyurl.com/47bcnwnrFUNK BOOK:"Rethinking Self-Defense: The 'Ancient Rights' Rationale Disentangled"https://lawofselfdefense.com/funkONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT!NEW!

Yesterday we covered the interesting appellate reversal of the murder conviction of a woman who claimed self-defense in the shooting death of her boyfriend.  She shot him dead under circumstances in which he wasn't in the moment presenting an immediate threat to her.  Generally this would mean she killed in the absence of an imminent threat, which should result in the rejection of her self-defense justification. Indeed, the jury did exactly that, and convicted her of murder as charged. The appellate court, however, was persuaded that in the context of this trial involving claims of domestic abuse the definition of "imminence" should not be limited to "immediate," but rather can have a broader temporal boundary to include even past or future, speculative threats as sufficient to justify the use of deadly defensive force.We covered all that yesterday when we read through the appellate court's reversal of her conviction, and remanding for new trial.This morning I came across a news article that provided a great deal more detail on the trial proceedings than was shared by the appellate court, so I've set up this impromptu live show today to share those interesting details with you.Join me LIVE at 1 PM ET!LAW CARDS! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lawcards/law-cardsGracie Jiu_Jitsu 101 FREE SEMINAR (Colorado Springs), April 8: gjj101.comNEW!

On March 5, 2020 Stephanie Clark, mother of a 5-year-old, found herself once again subject to violent domestic abuse by her live-in boyfriend. After inflicting serious physical and mental abuse for some time, the boyfriend threatened to break Clark's ribs after she had fallen asleep.Clark retrieved a gun, shot the boyfriend once, then retrieved a second gun and shot him again. He would die of his injuries.The next day, March 6, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison charged Clark with second-degree murder. Clark raised the legal defense of self-defense.At trial, the jury interrupted deliberations to ask the judge for clarification on what was meant by the legal term "imminent," a required element of self-defense.  The judge responded that "imminent" meant "immediate." The jury then convicted Clark as charged.This past Monday a MN court of appeals reversed Clark's conviction, holding that "immediate" was too narrow a definition of "imminent."  Minnesotta v.

On March 27, 2023 a murderous armed lunatic shot their way into a school and killed six people--three 9-year-olds and three adult school staff. It seems likely that this horrific death toll was no higher only because of the aggressive heroism of the Nashville police officers who flooded into the school and confronted the murderer.In today's show I have on as a very special guest my good friend TC Fuller, a combat veteran and retired law enforcement officer, to help break down the tactics used by these heroic Nashville officers in bringing an end to this killer's murderous rampage.TC Fuller's latest book, "Painting Over Rust: Stories from a 20-Year Odyssey in the FBI". https://lawofselfdefense.com/paintingoverrustLAW CARDS! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lawcards/law-cardsGracie Jiu_Jitsu 101 FREE SEMINAR (Colorado Springs), April 8: gjj101.comNEW!

Retired basketball player All-Star and current cannabis entrepreneur Shawn Kemp got into a gunfight outside a Tacoma shopping mall last week after his efforts to recover the cell phone stolen from his car resulted in an exchange of gunshots.  Although Kemp was originally arrested at the scene after the other party fled, he appears to have promptly and prudently lawyered up, and has now been released based on his claim that he shot in self-defense.  Today we'll explore the legal dynamics and practical issues around Kemp's decision to seek recovery of his stolen cell phone to the point of getting himself into a gunfight. #shawnkemp State v.

In June 2021, Eric Popper was involved in a road rage incident while driving down I-95 in the Miami FL area.  He would ultimately empty his pistol through the passenger window and windshield of his car, in an act he would characterize as self-defense. Popper would be arrested and charged with the felonies of aggravated assault and firing a deadly missile.Last week the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office announced it was dismissing charges against Popper. Popper's defense counsel is crediting Florida's "Stand-Your-Ground" defense for this favorable outcome. But could stand-your-ground have played any role in this use-of-force event? Might the State Attorney's Office have political reasons for dropping these charges? Was Popper arguably criminally reckless in his conduct? Join me LIVE today, Monday, March 13, at Noon ET, to discuss!News report by WPLG Local 10:  https://youtu.be/9gZeqrZYDM8Gracie Jiu_Jitsu 101 FREE SEMINAR (Colorado Springs), April 8: gjj101.comNEW!

On March 1, 2023, a Farmington UT police officer pulled over 25-year-old Chase Allan for failure to display proper registration tags on his BMW automobile. Within just a few minutes, Allen would die in a hail of bullets fired by five officers.  In this LIVE show we take a look at some media reports of this report, some initially released body-worn camera footage from the officer who first made the stop, and finally work through the 30-minute presentation made by the Farmington UT police chief to the media this past Wednesday. NEW!

A week or two ago, while guesting on Rekieta Law during our relentless and arduous coverage of the Alex Murdaugh trial, news broke that #alecbaldwin  had been relieved of the sentencing enhancement charge that the NM prosecutor had brought against him on top of the involuntary manslaughter charge.  I had taken a quick look at the relevant law just before coming onto Rekieta Law, and while waiting for the Murdaugh trial to start up I opined that it seemed to me that the enhancement certainly should have been dismissed as against armorer Hannah Guttierez-Reed, but that dismissing the enhancement against Baldwin did not seem legally necessay.I. WAS. WRONG!  I meant to get to this earlier, but it's been hell catching up on stuff since Murdaugh's conviction. In any case, I'm here today to shout my "mea culpa," and share the history of the sentencing enhancement statute that made this a messy affair. DEFENDANTS MOTION TO DISMISS ENHANCEMENTNEW!

On February 14, 2023, Dr. T. Markus Funk, PhD, published a 10-page paper entitled "Busting the Durable Myth That US Self-Defense Law is Uniquely Harsh."  That paper is the subject of today's LIVE show. Dr. Funk is a former federal prosecutor, US State Department Section Chief, and has taught at such esteemed academic institutions as Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, the University of Colorado, and Oxford University. Despite those impressive credentials, however, this paper is very much a mixed bag in terms of its strength of understanding of self-defense law.  This is not a particular criticism of Dr. Funk--in my experience virtually all of the legal scholarship on self-defense law is pretty awful, regardless of author.Today we'll take the opportunity to apply a critical eye to Dr. Funk's "Busting the Durable Myth" paper, in part as a cautionary tale to not assume that a scholarly paper on self-defense law is of the quality one might like, even if the author has the most impressive of academic credentials. EMBED VIDEOYou can find Dr. Funk's "Busting the Durable Myth" paper here:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Busting-the-Durable-Myth.pdfNEW!

This past Friday a Paulding GA Sheriff's Office dash camera video was released of the March 4, 2022 arrest of burglary suspect Tyler Canaris.  Deupties were responding to calls that a person matching the description of Canaris was attempting to break into neighborhood cars during the dark hours of that early morning.  When Canaris was repeatedly non-compliant with a Deputy's attempt to secure his investigatory detention, the Deputy bear-hugged Canaris and took him to the ground, followed by securing him in handcuffs with the assistance of a second Deputy who then appears on scene.  Canaris would suffer a broken collar bone and concussion as a result of his impact with the street.It would later appear that Canaris was not, in fact, the suspect burglarizing neighborhood crimes, and he was never charged with burglary. He was, however, charged with obstruction of justice after he filed a civil suit against the Paulding GA Sheriff's Office. In today's show we take a look at that dash camera video, and consider the various legal issues involved. Join us LIVE at 2PM ET today, Monday, February 20, 2023!#TylerCanarisNEW!

This past week Tucker Carlson--whose work I generally admire--did a segment on  the right of self-defense, referencing several recent self-defense cases in the news. Unfortunately, Tucker's grasp of self-defense law can only be described as tenuous at best, and his ability to apply self-defense law to actual encounters to be lacking in objectivity. The result is an overall failing grade on self-defense law.Join me TODAY for a response video & discussion that seems certain to draw a prompt copyright objection from FOX News!

On January 31, 2023, New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies filed a statement of probable cause for involuntary manslaughter in the October 21, 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of low-budget western movie "Rust."My own legal analysis of that event, beginning the day following the shooting, had 13 months prior to the probable cause statement concluded that a charge of involuntary manslaughter was overwhelmingly warranted by the facts and law in this case--so, it's nice to see the New Mexico legal system begin to catch up. (You can find my aggregated coverage of Alec Baldwin's shooting of Hutchins here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/baldwin)In today's live show I'll provide a brief overview of my own legal analysis of the tragic death of Hutchins, and then read through the statement of probable cause, with commentary (naturally).#AlecBaldwin #HalynaHutchinsNEW!

Tyre Nichols died three days after violently resisting his January 7, 2023 arrest by the Memphis police department. This past Friday, video of that arrest was released.  Now five Memphis police officers have been fired and are facing charges of murder.  Not that it should matter, but the five officers as well as Nichols are all black. The death of Nichols has become highly politicized, and the general public is having the usual emotional reaction to the just-released video of yet another bad outcome use-of-force event.  Judging by the last day's worth of social media, much of the internet believes absolutely that the released video provides incontrovertible proof that the death of Nichols was nothing but a vicious murder. In this LIVE show, airing Sunday, Jan. 29 at 2 PM ET, we set aside emotion, review the facts as revealed by the released video, and apply actual legal principles--rather than emotion--to ask the following question: Does it seem likely that the death of Nichols was, beyond a reasonable doubt, murder at the hands of the charged officers?Spoiler: the answer is NO. #TyreNicholsNEW!

On Wednesday, January 18 the Minnesota Court of Appeals heard oral argument on Derek Chauvin's appeal from his conviction in the death of George Floyd. Chauvin was convicted in Minnesota state court of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter (note that all of these are unintentional forms of unlawful killing, what most states would refer to as "felony murder" or "involuntary manslaughter" rather than "murder").Today's show will essentially be a response the video of that oral argument, with contextual explanation for why appeals are for losers, how they work, and why it's unlikely that Chauvin will obtain any meaningful relief in this case.Join me LIVE at Noon ET today!NEW!

In the early morning hours of December 13, 2022 a heavily armed Cherokee County NC Sheriff's SWAT team arrived that the trailer home of Jason Kloepfer and Alison Mahler, and began shouting orders at the couple sleeping inside. Awakened, Kloepfer and Mahler stumbled to the door of their trailer, and opened to shouted commands. Quickly, however, numerous shots were fired by officers, striking Kloepfer to the floor of his trailer.Shortly after the shooting the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office released a statement claiming that Kloepfer had "engaged in a verbal altercation with officers and emerged from a caper trailer and confronted officers. They charged Kloepfer with communicating threats and resisting, obstruction, and delay and indicated additional charges may follow.Yesterday, however, Kloepfer released video footage taken by a camera inside his trailer. That video footage appears to show Kloepfer acting in a cooperative and compliant manner with the officers outside his trailer.Join me on Tuesday, January 24, at Noon ET for my legal breakdown of this shooting of Jason Koepfler by police.

This morning New Mexico District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced that actor Alec Baldwin would be charged with two counts of manslaughter in the October 21, 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins as the two worked together on the set of the low-budget movie “Rust.”This decision to charge Baldwin with manslaughter comes a mere 13 months after my own legal analysis of the shooting, suggesting manslaughter, published at Legal Insurrection the day after the shooting.That piece was quickly followed up by a much more detailed legal analysis concluding manslaughter was likely the appropriate charge in this case, published here just three days later.I’ve written numerous follow-up pieces on Baldwin’s shooting of Hutchins (all of which can be found collected here -- https://lawofselfdefense.com/baldwin), but nothing during the 13 months since that event has changed my fundamental conclusion that a proper application of New Mexico law to the apparent facts in this case leads to anything but an act of reckless (involuntary) manslaughter on the part of Baldwin—ultimately the charge announced today by DA Carmack-Altwies.Here I’ll quickly hit the high points of my previous analysis, so we’re all on the same page in terms of the legal merits of this charge of manslaughter. (This is drawn from the October 25, 2021 post linked above.)NEW!

On the evening of May 29, 2021, Luis Casado shot and killed a man on a sidewalk outside a bar in St. Augustine FL, after being subject by that man to a barehanded attack. Indicted on a charge of manslaughter with a weapon, Casado demanded a self-defense immunity hearing, as permitted under Florida law. The result of the four-day immunity hearing was a grant of immunity by the hearing judge, freeing Casado of criminal liability for this killing, and preventing the prosecution from bringing him to a costly, time-consuming, and risky trial. The entire immunity hearing was televised, providing us with an unusual opportunity to observe an actual self-defense immunity hearing in the wild, so to speak. Not one to let such an opportunity pass, I'm going to cover each day of that self-defense immunity hearing in a series of four shows, starting today with the first day of the hearing.Today is the fourth and last day of this self-defense immunity hearing, during which we'll hear from the final defense witness (a psychologist), two State rebuttal witnesses (an optometrist and a use-of-force expert), and then close with each side's argument of its position (the defense for a grant of immunity to prosecution, the State against, of course). Join me LIVE TODAY at 1:30 PM ET time for Day 4 (the final day) of the Casado self-defense immunity hearing!NEW!

On the evening of May 29, 2021, Luis Casado shot and killed a man on a sidewalk outside a bar in St. Augustine FL, after being subject by that man to a barehanded attack. Indicted on a charge of manslaughter with a weapon, Casado demanded a self-defense immunity hearing, as permitted under Florida law. The result of the four-day immunity hearing was a grant of immunity by the hearing judge, freeing Casado of criminal liability for this killing, and preventing the prosecution from bringing him to a costly, time-consuming, and risky trial. The entire immunity hearing was televised, providing us with an unusual opportunity to observe an actual self-defense immunity hearing in the wild, so to speak.

This past Thursday night, Jan. 5, 2023, an armed and masked armed robber was plying his trade in Ranchito #4 Taqueria in Houston TX, when one of the customers decided to express his objections--in the form of nine rounds fired into the robber, unsurprisingly with fatal results.  The shooter fled the scene and has not yet been identified, although authorities are looking--though they state that they have not yet decided whether to charge the shooter.Although the initial shots fired by the shooter appear to be legally justified as defense of self, defense of others, and (uniquely under Texas law) perhaps even defense of property, the last shot fired looks more difficult to justify.  At the moment that ninth shot was fired the robber was apparently unconscious on the floor and had been disarmed of the only weapon he was known to possess, when the shooter fired one last shot, apparently into the robber's head. Fortunately for all of us, this event was captured on video, and today I conduct legal analysis and commentary on this video, in the context of Texas use-of-force law--and with special guest Attorney Steve Gosney!NEW!

Aaron Dean, convicted last week of reckless manslaughter in the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson, was sentenced by the jury today to a term of 11 years, 10 months, and 12 days.The 10 months and 12 days is likely simply because the shooting occurred on October 12, of 2019--10/12.So, an extra year, almost, for the month and date of the tragic event.  Justice.This was an unjust conviction--no rational jury properly informed of the law and evidence could have arrived at a conviction on the charge of reckless manslaughter, while also acquitting Dean of the murder charge on the grounds of self-defense--and by extension this is an unjust sentence.But the State was relentless in lying to the jury about both the law and evidence, and sadly Dean's defense team did a pathetically bad job in defending their client.This would have been a very different trial had I been consulting on this case.  Sadly for Dean, he got railroaded, and there was nobody to stop the train that ran him over.

Yesterday, December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day), the prosecution in the murder trial of Aaron Davis abruptly rested about halfway through the day, surprising everybody. Court is out of session so the surprised defense has a couple of days to schedule their witnesses. This brief live stream will discuss these events and likely implications and consequences.On October 12, 2019, at 2:30AM then Ft. Worth police officer Aaron Dean responded to a call by a concerned neighbor for a welfare check on a home with the front door left open and the lights on.While investigating around the outside of the home with a flashlight, Dean observed a person with a gun inside the home, just feet away.

On November 30 a civil lawsuit was filed against the Sig Sauer firearms company in Federal court in New Hampshire.  The suit is brought by no fewer than 20 plaintiffs, all with similar claims--that the company's P320 pistol was defectively designed, that this defect caused them serious injury, and that Sig Sauer should be held liable for those injuries. This suit is of particular interest to me in that I've carried a variety of Sig pistols--including for many years the P320--for personal protection. I was also for more than a decade a subject matter expert adjunct instructor at the Sig Academy on use-of-force law. That said, my expertise is use-of-force law, and this is a civil suit--so I've invited on Attorney Dani Ahn, an experienced civil litigator, to share her expert insights into this lawsuit.  Dani also has her own brand-new YouTube channel, and I urge you to take a look at that and subscribe! You can find her YouTube channel at:  https://youtube.com/@daniahndirect. You can also find Dani on Twitter: @ElectDA4DA.NEW!

This past Sunday a man decided to commit an armed robbery of clerk working in a California convenience store. When the robber fled with the stolen goods, the clerk retrieved his own gun and pursued, firing at the fleeing robber. The robber then used his own gun to shoot and kill the clerk.Many were surprised when Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton then decided that she would not press a murder charge against the armed robber, on the grounds that the robber was acting in lawful self-defense when he killed the clerk.Join me to discuss the legalities of this case and this DA's decision TODAY, at Noon ET!Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

In the afternoon of February 23, 2020 then-District Attorney Jackie Johnson was informed that "jogger" Ahmaud Arbery had earlier that afternoon been shot and killed by the son of her former lead investigator. This former work relationship raising a potential conflict of interest, Johnson immediately referred the case over to a DA from a different county.Those few hours, in which Johnson made no substantive decisions related to the Arbery shooting other than the conflict referral, was the entirety of her official involvement in the handling of this matter. The Georgia Attorney General was duly advised of this conflict referral on February 27th, 2020, three days after the shooting.Despite her conduct being cleared of wrongdoing following an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Ms. Johnson lost her next election for DA, and worse was indicted by the Georgia Attorney General on charges of violation of her oath of office (a 5-year felony) and hindering law enforcement (a misdemeanor).The evidence for either of these charges appears to be non-existent, and this suggests that this prosecution is little more than a furtherance of the political witch-hunt maelstrom that surrounded the Arbery killing from the moment the video of the death was released on May 5, 2020, about 10 weeks after the shooting.We discuss the apparent political prosecution of transitory Arbery prosecutor Jackie Johnson LIVE, TODAY!Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?

Today we're covering three police shootings that have occurred in just the last few days, the first two of which we have video to share.  The first shooting involved YET ANOTHER Taser grab by a violently non-compliant traffic stop suspect. The second involved a cop-on-cop shooting that has grave implications for any of us acting as a hero in an active shooter context. The third involved a Florida man who, Sheriff Grady Judd reports, "had his groin changed forever, if you know what I mean." Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

Alec Baldwin has just filed a civil suit (technically, a cross-complaint) against virtually everybody involved in the production of the low-budget movie "Rust," on the set of which Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and wounded producer Joel Souza.What does Baldwin's civil suit mean for his own criminal liability in his reckless killing of Hutchins, almost certainly an open-and-shut case of felony involuntary manslaughter?  Indeed, to what degree does Baldwin's reckless conduct RELIEVE all those other people of their own prospective liability in this case? Join me LIVE today as we step through the actual legal filing Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

I wanted to give all of you a heads up--I'm covering the final closing arguments of the Dean Cummings trial today, the defense having rested yesterday afternoon, but in a different format than previously.Nick Rekieta of Rekieta Law has kindly invited me on to his Rumble stream today to guest-host the trial proceedings, so that's where I'll be. Accordingly, you won't find me live streaming the proceedings, as previously for this trial, on my Law of Self Defense Rumble, YouTube, Twitter, or LOSD Members page. (LOSD Members should expect a playback of today's streaming as a blog post and podcast content, however, shortly after the day wraps up.)Nick plans to start his streaming coverage of the Cummings trial at 11 AM Eastern time, with the trial itself expected to come into session at 11:30 AM. We'll likely spend the first 30 minutes prior to court commencing just doing a quick recap of the trial to date--and perhaps playing an audio-optimized version of the rifle-handling cross-examination of the defendant!Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

This is our FINAL day of CATCH-UP live-streaming the Dean Cummings self-defense trial taking place this week in New Mexico--with our next show on this trial we'll be doing our commentary and analysis in real time, as the trial takes place. This will be a relatively SHORT DAY, as court was in session for only about three hours.Cummings is charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and concealing his identity.  His legal defense is self-defense.Spoiler:  I'm told that at the end of today's proceedings the State rests, and the court grants the defense motions to dismiss the ridiculous charges of tampering with evidence and concealing his identity. Remaining for the jury's consideration, however, are the equally ridiculous murder and manslaughter charges. So, today's show will be our assessment of whether the remainder of the State's evidence could possibly lead any rational jury to a conclusion that Cummings claim of self-defense has been disproved beyond a reasonable doubt by the State.Once again, I've invited various law-guests on throughout the day, as they have time and interest available--pop in and see who's joined! Dean Cummings, once apparently a famous skier, shot and killed Guillermo Arriola on February 29, 2020, in New Mexico.  The two men got into an altercation in Cummings trailer when they argued about a prospective sale of land by Arriola to Cummings.  Cummings claims that Arriola sprayed him with a chemical irritant and tried to kill him, and that Cummings shot Arriola dead with a rifle in self-defense. Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

Today the defense begins to present its case in chief to the jury in the murder trial of NM v. Cummings, the State having rested on Friday afternoon.  This means that finally the defense will be calling its own witnesses, and the State will be limited to cross-examination of those witnesses. We'll be live streaming today's proceedings in real-time, rather than playing catch-up as we were doing in our coverage of the trial last week. (That means no fast-forwarding through breaks, unfortunately--but we'll fill that time with other content.) Court is expected to come into session at 11 AM ET.  We'll start our coverage an hour prior, at 10 AM ET, perhaps with a replay once again of the opening statements to refresh everyone's recollection on what each side promised at the start of this trial to deliver to the jury.NOTE: We will read comments and answer questions FIRST from the Law of Self Defense Members chat, and SECOND from SuperChats on YouTube that are a minimum of $5.  I would humbly suggest that it's much more cost-effective to become a Law of Self Defense Member for less than $10 for an entire month than to pay for numerous $5 SuperChats (30% of which goes to YouTube) over the course of our coverage of this trial.  Become a Law of Self Defense Member INSTANTLY here:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/joinI've also sent out guest invites to the usual "Friends of Law of Self Defense," so we may have some of those great folks popping in from time to time to add insight, analysis, and humor, as their time and interest allows. The State's narrative of guilt of famous skier Dean Cummings in the shooting death of Guillermo Alliora presented in last week's case in chief proved shockingly weak. This was especially true of the State's final witness, the lead investigator on this case, who because of a 9-day coma has lost virtually all recollection of the matter, not even recalling if he testified before the grand jury (he did). The State's other witnesses, especially their law enforcement witnesses, were also just awful.  While no one can ever know what really happened in that cabin the day Cummings shot and killed Arriola, the State's burden to achieve conviction of Cummings is to disprove his legal defense of self-defense beyond any reasonable doubt.  So far any objective view of the evidence and testimony must conclude that it is entirely consistent with self-defense, rather than inconsistent--and certainly does not disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

Yesterday a MI trial judge ruled that probable cause existed to bring Police Officer Christopher Schurr to trial on a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting death of violently non-compliant suspect Patrick Lyoya.  Lyoya was shot and killed by Officer Schurr while the two men fought over control of the officer's Taser following Lyoya's lawful traffic stop. We'll cover that entire probable cause finding by the judge during the public portion of today's show, in particular discussing what I consider to be America's broken probable cause standard for dragging citizens into criminal trials.  Then during the LOSD Members-only portion of the show we'll apply that analysis to the actual video of the Lyoya stop and shooting.  FAIR WARNING:  That video includes the actual shooting death of Lyoya, but again we'll cover that only in the LOSD Members portion of today's show.Want to be able to stay with us for the LOSD Member portion of the show?  BECOME A LOSD MEMBER RIGHT NOW!

About a month ago the Tucson AZ SWAT team, partnered with a police K9, took down a felony suspect. In the course of the arrest the suspect retrieved a pistol. At one point the pistol was pointed directly at the head of the K9 attacking the suspect.  The suspect was shot and killed by the rifle-armed SWAT team. Is it lawful to shoot a suspect in order to protect a K9? The answer is no, and we'll explain why in this show! Join us LIVE at 4PM ET, Thursday, September 29, 2022 to hear the legal reasoning in such a case. LAW OF SELF-DEFENSE ADVANCED CLASS!ONE DAY ONLY!

On October 21, 2021, while on a New Mexico movie set, actor Alec Baldwin pointed an actual gun, an inherently dangerous instrument, at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, without first ensuring the gun was unloaded, and killed her without legal justification.  This conduct and outcome are a textbook example of a criminally reckless killing, often referred to as an involuntary manslaughter, a felony remarkably good for a mere 18 months under New Mexico law.However, an argument can also be made for felony murder, which can carry a life sentence.A few days ago New Mexico District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies asked state authorities for more than $600,000 in special funding in preparation for up to four separate criminal trials over the killing of Ms. Hutchins. Specifically called out as a possible criminal defendant in these trials? Alec BaldwinAll of this brings Baldwin's killing of Ms. Hutchins back into the news, and that in turn warrants yet another law-based yet plain-English explanation for Baldwin's criminal liability in this case.  And where better for THAT than Law of Self Defense?So join me LIVE on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 4 PM ET for that exciting legal analysis of the #AlecBaldwin shooting death of Halyna Hutchins, and the criminal liability that results. LAW OF SELF-DEFENSE ADVANCED CLASS!ONE DAY ONLY!

In what appears to be yet another politically-motivated prosecution of a white police officer who lawfully defended himself from a violent, non-compliant black suspect, Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr has been charged with second-degree murder over the April 4, 2022 shooting death of Patrick Lyoya, according to FOX News.Video here: https://youtu.be/j0tVkPOMCFw

In July 2020 Michael Mitchell shot and killed 22-year-old college football player Jahneil Douglas.  The evidence indicated that Douglas was the initial aggressor in the confrontation, with Mitchell shooting him only after Douglas had punched him at least once in the head and had continued throwing blows at Mitchell.  After being shot the mortally wounded Douglas had fled from Mitchell. Video here:  https://youtu.be/BEvSf1KcS5U

LIVE! Breonna Taylor Shooting Trial:  Analysis of Opening Statements

The jury returned verdicts of not guilty on all charges last night in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.  I do not predict verdicts, but this finding of not guilty was consistent with my legal analysis of the case, as discussed first within days of the shooting, all the way through to my analysis shared with all of you yesterday. I covered the reading of the verdict last in real-time, including nearly three hours of post-verdict commentary, so I’m going to keep today’s written content brief and simply embed the reading of the verdict, and link to the video of my lengthier commentary.LAST DAY! 70% OFF autographed, harcover version of our best-selling book,  "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"http://lawofselfdefense.com/hardsalePOPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the ninth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented only a single witness, whose testimony consumed the entirety of the jury’s day—defendant Curtis Reeves, himself.  Over the course of the day, 79-year-old Reeves was subject to a full two hours of direct questioning by Defense Counsel Richard Escobar, then another two full hours of cross-examination by Prosecutor Scott Rosenwasser, and finally a brief 10-minute re-direct by Escobar.The bottom line:  Not only did the prosecution, already far short of disproving Reeves’ claim of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, not make progress towards achieving their burden of proof necessary for a legally meritorious conviction, they spent their two hours on cross-examination of Reeves flailing around pointlessly and actually losing ground on a guilty verdict.This is a remarkable failure from a prosecution that has had, in effect, two chances to cross-examine this defendant at length and in minute detail—meaning at both the self-defense immunity hearing in which Reeves testified in 2017, and again yesterday—without managing to use that opportunity to advance their narrative of guilt in this case.It was, in fact, a humiliating performance for Prosecutor Rosenwasser.Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 9:  Reeves Testifies, Prosecution Train Wrecks on Cross, & Defense Restshttps://lawofselfdefense.com/podcast/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-9-reeves-testifies-prosecution-train-wrecks-on-cross-defense-rests/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the eighth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented only three additional witnesses yesterday, all expert witnesses—Dr. Michael Foley, a forensic radiologist whose testimony was delivered in the form of a previously recorded video, Dr. Michael Knox, a crime scene investigation expert, and finally Dr. Roy Bedard, a use-of-force expert.The reason there were only three was largely because of the extensive arguments made outside the hearing of the jury prior to the testimony of the latter two experts.  Unfortunately, much of the argument preceding Dr. Bedard’s testimony revealed a substantive ignorance of fundamental aspects of self-defense law on the part of the court, the same type of ignorance we’ve seen lead to injustice in verdicts in other recent high-profile cases. We’ll focus our commentary and analysis here on that apparent ignorance.The video testimony of all seven of these witnesses is also embedded below, although our commentary here will be focused on the testimony of Dr. Adams.Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 8:  Another Court Ignorant of Self-Defense Law Sets Table for Another Injusticehttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-8-another-court-ignorant-of-self-defense-law-sets-table-for-another-injustice/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the seventh day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented seven additional witnesses yesterday, if we include carrying over forensic video consultant Bruce Koenig from the previous day as the first witness of the morning.  The highlight of the day, however, was the final witness—Dr. Vernard Adams, the forensic pathologist expert witness retained by the defense. Indeed, once again the State managed to score a rather massive own goal in an inept cross-examination of a defense witness, as they’d done previously with Vivian Reeves and others.  The expression on Dr. Adams’ face at the end of cross rather tells the story, and can be seen in the featured image to today’s content.The video testimony of all seven of these witnesses is also embedded below, although our commentary here will be focused on the testimony of Dr. Adams.Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 7:  Defense Medical Expert Smokes Prosecution on Cross-Examinationhttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-7-defense-medical-expert-smokes-prosecution-on-cross-examination/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the sixth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented an additional three witnesses throughout the day. Two of those—Vivian Reeves, the wife of Curtis Reeves, and Dr. Donna Cohen, an expert on aging—were frankly of limited interest, for reasons I’ll discuss below.The final witness of the day, Bruce E. Koenig, provided testimony that is perhaps best described as tiresome—it did, however, present a view of the movie theater surveillance video that is strongly consistent with the defense narrative that defendant Curtis Reeves shot and killed Chad Oulson under circumstances consistent with lawful self-defense.The enhanced, slowed, and zoomed version shown in court yesterday was difficult to make out on the court’s live stream, but I share a zoomed and annotated version of my own creation of that video below, for illustrative purposes.See the text version of this content, including video of all of yesterday's trial testimony, here:Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 6:  Video Consistent with Apparent Lawful Self-Defensehttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-6-video-consistent-with-apparent-lawful-self-defense/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the sentencing of Kimberly Potter over the shooting death of Duante Wright. This was the “Taser! Taser! Taser!” shooting in which then-Police Officer Potter mistakenly drew her Glock 17 pistol instead of her intended Taser and shot and killed Duante Wright as he violently fought lawful arrest against three officers wrestling with him as attempting to speed off in his car.  A jury misinformed on the relevant law would find Potter guilty of manslaughter as charged.Ultimately, Judge Regina Chu sentenced Potter to an effective 14 months in prison, where she will be kept largely isolated from the general prison population.  Potter was facing a guideline sentence of some 7 years, which could have been greatly extended if Judge Chu had sought to apply the aggravating factors sought by the State prosecutors.Enjoy this extensive discussion and analysis of the sentencing.  BONUS: Joined for part of the show by Attorney Kurt of @UncivilLawSee the video & text versions of this content here:An Ongoing Travesty of Injustice, Moderately Mitigated: Kim Potter to Serve 14 Monthshttps://lawofselfdefense.com/an-ongoing-travesty-of-injustice-moderately-mitigated-kim-potter-to-serve-14-months/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the fifth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical. This was the day the defense began to present its case-in-chief, and calling its first witnesses.  Perhaps ironically, the first two defense witnesses were actually police officers involved in the investigation, and the third was the man who had installed the theater security camera system and collected the hard drives that captured video of the shooting.The day closed out with testimony from the defendant’s two adult children.  The first of these was the defendant’s daughter, who testified largely about her father’s increasingly frail condition as he aged.  The second was the son, himself a police officer, who actually arrived at the scene of the shooting just as the fatal shot was fired, and who attempted to provide emergency care to the fatally shot Chad Oulson.See the text version of this content, including video of all of yesterday's trial testimony, here:Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 4: State Rests, Court Denies Defense Motion for Judgement of Acquittalhttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-5-defense-begins-its-case-in-chief-defendants-adult-children-testify/POPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the fourth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical. The State moved through three more witnesses, which proved to be their last before resting their case-in-chief.  The defense then moved for a judgment of acquittal, a routine motion in criminal cases at this point, which was as routinely denied by the judge.  Today the defense will begin to present its case-in-chief to the jury.See the text version of this content, including video of all of yesterday's trial testimony, here:Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 4: State Rests, Court Denies Defense Motion for Judgement of AcquittalPOPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the third day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The most important testimony of the day was that of then Homicide Detective Proctor, in the form of the recorded interviews of Reeves immediately after the shooting, because this interview testimony was largely consistent with the defense narrative of self-defense, and inconsistent with the State’s narrative of Reeves as a malicious killer who shot Chad Oulson dead in a rage at being disrespected. See the text version of this content, including video of all of yesterday's trial testimony, here:Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 3: Defendant’s Recorded Statements Consistent with Self-DefensePOPCORN BUNDLE!

Yesterday was the second day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The shot that killed Chad Oulson also penetrated the hand of his wife, Nicole Oulson, leading to a second charge of aggravated battery.  If convicted on both charges the 79-year-old Curtis Reeves is looking at a mandatory minimum of 50 years in prison—a sentence unlikely to be served in full for obvious reasons.Yesterday’s continued presentation by the State of its case-in-chief was remarkable less for the strength of the State’s narrative of guilt—which has not been very robust—than it was for the strength of the defense cross-examination of State witnesses.This performance of the defense on cross continues a very solid cross-examination of Nicole Oulson the prior day, but follows an almost shockingly poor opening statement by the defense on Monday morning.  The State’s opening was also not great, coming across as intentional deceptive and full of half-truths and deceptive phrasing, as we described yesterday here:  Popcorn Murder Trial Day 1: Poor Opening Statements, Victim’s Wife Testifies.  You can find our prior coverage of this case covered in detail here:  http://lawofselfdefense.com/popcornPOPCORN BUNDLE!

I've received numerous inquiries from Law of Self Defense Members to cover the subject of gun trusts. These are legal trusts that can be set up to act as the formal legal entity that owns firearms, fully-automatic firearms, suppressors, and other related regulated items.As I often note, my own expertise is use-of-force law, not gun law. That said, I know many excellent attorneys who do have world-class knowledge of gun laws. Accordingly, I've reached out to one of them, Attorney Derek DeBrosse, of Munitions Law Group (http://munitionsgroup.com) out of Ohio, to be the first-ever guest on a Law of Self Defense live stream to discuss the subject of gun trusts.

Just this past Friday (Jan. 28) a lawyer friend of mine sent me a self-defense immunity WIN from Florida. Specifically, the court in that case had conducted a self-defense immunity hearing for a defendant facing 20 years in prison.  After the immunity hearing, the court granted the defendant immunity from prosecution and civil suit under Florida's self-defense immunity law. So, instead of a lengthy and costly criminal prosecution, and the prospects of a conviction and 20 years in prison, this defendant got to simply go home, free of legal and civil liability, and free from any politically motivated prosecution.I thought this case would be a great example to illustrate how self-defense immunity works in the real world, by stepping through the really excellent "Order to Dismiss" drafted by the court that granted this immunity.  

Today's LIVE show with Attorney Andrew Branca of Law of Self Defense will focus on a case out of Wyoming that is a great case example of why representing yourself as your own attorney is a bad idea--and also why a superficial understanding of the law can be an extremely dangerous thing.

Marilyn Mosby, the State's Attorney for Baltimore, has reportedly just been indicted by a Federal grand jury on charges of perjury on a variety of mortgage and COVID hardship applications.  If convicted on these charges Mosby is reportedly looking at as long as 30 years in Federal prison--and Federal prison time is REAL prison time, with little discounting for such things as good behavior. In April 2015 a Baltimore resident by the name of Freddie Gray was caught up in a Baltimore Police Department sweep of an open-air drug market, and arrested on a charge of unlawful possession of a knife.  He was cuffed and placed in a police van.  After some travel, the van was opened to find that Gray had suffered a serious neck injury, from which he would ultimately die some days later.Although the investigation by the Baltimore PD would discover no unlawful conduct by any officer, hours before that investigation was finalized Mosby held an outdoor press conference announcing that six officers--including black and female officers--were being charged with crimes as serious as murder in the death of Gray.  The Baltimore PD investigators were shocked by this announcement, and even more so when Mosby declared that these charges were based on her own independent investigation she'd been running secretly.Ultimately it would prove that there was zero evidence that any of the charged officers--or anyone else--had used any unlawful force upon Freddie Gray, and particularly not any force whatever to Gray's neck.  After several officers were acquitted at trial, Mosby finally agreed to dismiss charges against the remaining officers. An independent Federal investigation by the DOJ also found no grounds for charging the officers. A separate administrative investigation by the Baltimore PD also found no misconduct, and every officer was eligible to return to duty. So why were these six officers charged with crimes as serious as murder in the absence of any evidence of misconduct to support such charges? Join us for today's live stream to find out!#MarilynMosby #FreddieGray

Welcome to this episode of our ONLY open-access content, our weekly News/Q&A Show. A transcript of the show is available at the Law of Self Defense Blog (http://lawofselfdefense.com/blog), with links to all relevant content mentioned. In today's News/Q&A Show for September 2, 2021 we did things in a different way than normal, and focused exclusively on discussing and answering live questions about the Ashli Babbitt shooting of January 6, 2021. I decided to use today's News/Q&A Show to wrap up my coverage and analysis of that tragic event, and tie up any last questions that folks might still have in their minds.

Yesterday I published a detailed legal analysis of the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, in response to a recent tsunami of requests to do so.  You can find that analysis here: “Sad but True: Jan. 6 Shooting of Ashli Babbitt was Legally Justified.”Because of the great public interest in this particular case, we are leaving that analysis available on an open-access basis to the general public, rather than restricting it to our Law of Self Defense Members as is our usual practice.  We’ll also be leaving today’s content open-access, for similar reasons. So, if you’d like to share either yesterday’s analysis or today’s content with others, feel free.One of the events that has triggered these recent requests for this legal analysis of the Ashli Babbitt shooting is the publication on August 28, 2021 of an opinion piece by Professor Jonathan Turley in “The Hill,” entitled “Justified shooting or fair game? Shooter of Ashli Babbitt makes shocking admission,” and apparently written in response to a television interview of Lt. Byrd aired earlier that day (you can view that television interview here:  “Extended Interview: Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd Speaks Out.”)Professor Turley’s August 28 opinion piece on the Ashli Babbitt shooting falls far short of the stellar quality I’m accustomed to seeing in his work. Indeed, from the perspective of this small-town lawyer claiming some modest expertise in use-of-force law, Professor Turley’s opinion piece seems wildly off the mark, especially coming from a notable legal expert, and can only be described as disappointing.VIDEO and TEXT versions of this content here:Very Disappointing: Professor John Turley Op-Ed On Ashli BabbittRemember:You carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.Know the law so you’re hard to convict!Stay safe!--AndrewAttorney Andrew F. BrancaLaw of Self Defense LLC

I’ve been receiving a virtual tsunami of requests to do a use of force legal analysis of the shooting death of January 6 protestor Ashli Babbitt by Capital Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd as Babbitt appeared to be attempting to violently breach the barricaded doorway being guarded by Byrd.In fact, I did a detailed legal analysis of this shooting only days after it occurred—"Capital Hill Shooting of Ashli Babbitt:  Murder or Justified?” (Jan. 12, 2021)—although as with most of our content, access to that analysis was restricted to Law of Self Defense Members, who had the benefit of that analysis almost 8 months ago.The last few days have seen a resurgence in requests for such a legal analysis of the Babbitt shooting, presumably as a result of two events.  First, the August 28 interview of Lt. Byrd by NBC News Correspondent Lester Holt:  “Extended Interview: Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd Speaks Out.” Second, an opinion piece on that interview published at The Hill by prominent legal expert Jonathan Turley:  “Justified shooting or fair game? Shooter of Ashli Babbitt makes shocking admission.”So, with those two additional pieces of information and opinion tossed into the legal discussion of the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt it seems an appropriate time to re-visit our legal analysis of that tragic event.  (Fair warning to Law of Self Defense Members—much of this content is re-packaged from our January 12 analysis to which you’ve already had access.)VIDEO and TEXT versions of this content here:Sad but True: Jan. 6 Shooting of Ashli Babbitt was Legally JustifiedRemember:You carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.Know the law so you’re hard to convict!Stay safe!--AndrewAttorney Andrew F.

Welcome everyone! I’m Attorney Andrew Branca, for Law of Self Defense, and I have some very exciting news for all of you in the Law of Self Defense community.Tonight, Tuesday, April 27, I will be guesting on the Tim Pool IRL Show on YouTube.  If you’re not familiar with Tim Pool generally, or this show specifically, you really ought to be.  Tim is an independent journalist who brings a remarkably open-minded perspective to the societally-important stories that he covers.And that approach to covering such stories has paid off, with Tim’s various YouTube shows having collectively received over a billion views—that’s not a typo, folks, OVER A BILLION—he has well over a million actual subscribers to his shows generally.Now, it appears that Tim has several distinct shows, and I believe the one I’m on is called “Tim Pool IRL.”  These shows are generally in excess of two hours in length, so that will give us plenty of time to dive into the just-completed Derek Chauvin trial, perhaps other past high-profile use-of-force cases, as well as upcoming cases such as the trial over the Ahmaud Arbery killing, the McCloskey brandishing in St. Louis, and of course the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.I believe his production practice is to air the show live, in real-time, as it’s being conducted, and then to make that recording of the show available for some short time afterwards, all at the YouTube channel you can access by clicking the link below:http://lawofselfdefense.com/poolAlso, if you do join us for my guest appearance on Tim’s show, I’ll also be making available a very special opportunity for any and all of you to become genuine masters of self-defense law, so you’ll want to be prepared to take advantage of that, as well.OK, folks, I hope to see a bunch of you join us for tonight’s show!Until then:RememberYou carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.Know the law so you’re hard to convict.Stay safe!--AndrewAttorney Andrew F.

Hey folks,I’m Attorney Andrew Branca for Law of Self Defense, probably most familiar to many of thousands of you through my daily coverage of the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, over the in-custody death of George Floyd.  (You can find the video version of this podcast by clicking here.)I trust you’ve found that coverage to be informative and enjoyable, and perhaps a little bit different than the mainstream media coverage of the same trial.  Presumably that’s the case, or you wouldn’t still be watching these videos, reading my blog posts, or listening to our podcast!Covering trials at this level of intensity, however, while it’s something we do for many high-profile cases such as the Chauvin trial, isn’t our normal day-to-day work.  Rather, the core of our business is to provide normal, law-abiding folks just like you with the information you need to make better informed, more confident, more legally-sound, and more decisive decisions in defending yourself, your family, and your property against criminal predation.In fact, considering the many thousands of you who just recently became aware of us through our coverage of the Chauvin trial, we’ve put together a very special offer for all of you watching or listening to or reading this.  You can get the DVD or online streamed Law of Self Defense Advanced State-Specific Course for your state at up to 60% off the usual price—that’s a savings of almost $200!If you’re wondering if there’s a catch, the answer is yes—we’re going to leave this offer up only until we have a verdict, or a mistrial, in the Chauvin trial.  Once either a verdict is rendered or a mistrial announced, this opportunity will be gone, gone, gone.  Bottom line, if you’re at all interested, I urge you to take a look at this fantastic offer for the Law of Self Defense Advanced State-specific Course for your state, right NOW, by pointing your browser to lawofselfdefense.com/state.OK, folks, that’s all I have for now. Be sure to join me again on Monday morning for our live coverage of the Chauvin trial, a morning that will include closing arguments by both the state and the defense (and surely a follow-on rebuttal closing by the state), and the reading of the final jury instructions to the jury.And don’t forget, I urge you to take a look at this fantastic offer for the Law of Self Defense Advanced State-specific Course for your state, right NOW, by pointing your browser to lawofselfdefense.com/state, and saving almost $200 on this invaluable knowledge and expertise. Once we have a verdict in the Chauvin trial, this offer will be gone. RememberYou carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.Know the law so you’re hard to convict.Stay safe!--AndrewAttorney Andrew F.
