We are answering viewer questions. One question was "Can training in use-of-force for self-defense be used against me in court." After a self-defense shooting the prosecution will throw everything they have against the wall to get a conviction. One thing they will try is saying "The defendant trained at death-camp and is obsessed with violence." Massad Ayoob explains why that tactic won't work and why being a well-trained defendant creates the easiest defense.
