THIS Happens If You UNINTENTIONALLY PEW-PEW a BYSTANDER!
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. Some are hot garbage. Some have limited resources. Some are simply, in my view, untrustworthy. But there is ONE that I PERSONALLY TRUST to protect myself and my family.
