A Texas driver fails to proper return his shopping cart, and is aggressively approached by a "CartNarc" activist who chides the driver and attempts to place an embarrassing magnet on the driver's vehicle. The driver responds by pulling out a pistol and cycling the slide, causing the activist to prudently flee. Lawful threat of deadly force? Maybe generally not, but possibly in Texas, with its Penal Code §9.42? Join us LIVE on Tuesday, October 3, at Noon ET to discuss! LAW OF SELF DEFENSE ADVANCED CLASS: LAST FOR 2023!

Last Thursday a delivery man was acquitted in the shooting of a prankster who confronted him in a mall. The prankster never presented a weapon, so how could the delivery man's use of deadly defensive force have been reasonable self-defense? In fact, there are at least SIX FACTORS in this shooting that are highly consistent with lawful deadly force self-defense in this case. Join me LIVE at Noon ET as I discuss!

Several folks have frantically sent me a video clip of President Donald #Trump giving a speech in which it is said that he advocates that #looters be summarily shot. In fact, the video clip is more nuanced than that summary suggests, but I thought it interesting to enough to warrant an unplanned Law of Self Defense Show. Join me LIVE to discuss what President Trump ACTUALLY said, and to understand what looting actually is, and under what circumstances would shooting be warranted.

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!!! Join LIVE me on Friday, Sept. 29 at Noon ET as I read through and discuss this order and the rather heated dissents. BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

(Find Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/live/9qCxkD6vu94?si=V1lJj7xuNqWeQDAG) 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.

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?

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. Queued-Up Questions (time permitting) Is my state a stand-your-ground or duty-to-retreat state? "Looters Will Be Shot!" signs--lawful? Neighborhood security teams--is EVERYONE guilty? Tueller Drill--is it 1.5 seconds, 1.7 seconds, or what? Is an LOSD Consult covered by attorney-client privilege? Defensive display of a firearm--prudent, or a felony?

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.

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 Grisham, 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 & Assoc., 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! https://michellawyers.com/ BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

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. Join us TODAY, LIVE at Noon ET as we explore these use-of-force scenarios! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

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. Join us TODAY as we review that prosecutor's report, as well as the body-worn-camera footage of the actual pursuit, arrest, and shooting of Jor'dell Richardson.

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!

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.

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 will shock nobody, 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? Join us LIVE at Noon ET, Monday, September 4, to discuss! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

​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.

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 shoot at him 11 times, striking him 7 times. At last report, the man was in the hospital and expected to survive his gunshot wounds. The throwing and shooting 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?

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 BEST. Join us LIVE at 10 AM ET for this sure to be fantastic interview! (Note that last Thursday, August 24, I did a pair of shows totaling nearly two hours on the technical legal dynamics of HB233--this interview of Rep. Williams will focus largely on the political dynamics. Those shows can be found here https://youtube.com/live/3Jyj_ue_qnw and here https://youtube.com/live/U0j0WDQm5oU.)

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?

Sorry, internet dropped out on the show, so this part 2 is continuing the earlier show. -- Andrew 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. Learn MORE about how Ohio's proposed self-defense immunity law would be superior to anything that any other state--even FLORIDA!--has adopted, when you join us for our LIVE plain-English legal analysis and explanation, Thursday, August 24, at Noon ET!
