Law of Self Defense LLC

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!

A pair of armed home invaders pretending to be apartment maintenance men first try to talk their way into a defender's apartment--without success. They next take turns trying to kick down the apartment door, repeating their efforts until they suddenly start hearing loud noises.

A customer in a convenience store preparing to purchase a 6-pack of beer happened to observe the store clerk suddenly become the victim of an armed robbery. With little hesitation, the customer drew a pistol, and shot at the robber 7 times--including shooting him once in the face--all without ever putting down his six pack. The final shot was fired after the robber had fallen to the floor. Fortunately, we have the surveillance video! Lawful self-defense? Lawful defense of others? Lawful force to stop a forcible felony?

On August 5, 2023 a Denver police woman shot dead 36-year-old Brandon Cole, after he threatened her with a marker pen. Given that Cole's marker pen certainly could not inflict deadly force harm, was the officer guilty of an unlawful killing in her shooting of Cole?

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.

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! RESOURCES United 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!

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! Join us LIVE at Noon ET TODAY to discuss! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢! Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member?

Imagine this—you’re a non-commissioned officer in the US military, having served two prior tours in Afghanistan and having received military weapons training. You’re living with your wife in Metro Denver, a region plagued by car theft. At 11:20 PM on July 5 your wife observes two people stealing your car from in front of your home, and she calls 911. You retrieve a pistol and go outside to identify the thieves, following them on foot as they drive away unsuccessful in their car theft attempt. About a block from your home they shoot at you, and you shoot back, killing one of the thieves, and wounding another. The legal result? You’re charged with murder and attempted murder and looking at a mandatory life sentence in prison. How can this happen? That’s what we’ll discuss in today’s Law of Self Defense Show!

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. (I've written about this previously here: https://vimeo.com/632963611) 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? Join me LIVE at NOON ET today to hear my take. BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢! Not yet a Law of Self Defense Member? WHY NOT?

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. Join me LIVE on Wednesday, July 12, at 11 AM ET as we tear this trash "science" apart, soak it in gasoline, and turn it into a full-blown dumpster fire.

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? Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET TODAY for a plain English legal analysis of this self-defense case! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

Today's show briefs a use-of-force decision out of the Tennessee Supreme Court. 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!

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.

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. Join us LIVE at NOON ET! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

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.
