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. 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.

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.

It's finally happened--you've encountered "sum dude" who is trying to kill you.
Fortunately, you've prepared for this fateful day, and are armed for a deadly force encounter--with a hand grenade. You pull the pin, toss the frag, and BOOM! Problem solved!
Or IS it? Can it POSSIBLY be lawful to use a hand grenade to stop your lethal attacker?
Even less clear--what if your hand grenade also kills or woulds innocent bystanders? Can THAT possibly be lawful?
Join us as we cover a real-world state Supreme Court decision that explores PRECISELY this question--under what circumstances could even a hand grenade in a place full of innocent civilians nevertheless qualify as lawful self-defense and leave the grenadier free of any criminal liability?

At Law of Self Defense we generally talk about the use of defensive force in self-defense against other PEOPLE.
But what about the use of force in defense against ANIMALS?
The rules of engagement are not at all the same when defending against animals rather than people.
Lawful defense against animal attacks topic for today's show, prompted by an attack by a pack of Pit Bulls on a Philadelphia man earlier this week.

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? And much more!
We'll also, of course, take Q&A from our Law of Self Defense Members.

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.
Join me LIVE at Noon ET to discuss the video of this shooting!
