A Mississippi 11-year-old calls 911 saying that his mother's dangerous ex-boyfriend had arrived at their home unexpectedly and was acting aggressively.
Cops show up at the house, guns out, and start clearing. The mother exits first, and the a clearing cop starts calling for the boyfriend to come out unarmed.
A human form rushes out of a doorway towards the clearing cop, who instantly fires his pistol--striking what turned out to be the 11-year-old 911 caller in the chest.
The child survived the wound, and the family has filed a $5 million lawsuit.
Could this shooting POSSIBLY be lawful?

An Orange County CA liquor store found himself the victim of an armed robbery recently--but then realized that the robber's gun was not real.
The clerk then presented his own real gun from under the counter. The robber, realizing he'd brought a fake gun to a real gunfight, immediately fled.
Is it lawful to pull a gun on someone threatening you with what you know to be a fake gun? After all, where's the deadly force threat?

Houston TX-area homeowner Terry Willis was alerted to a swarm of car thieves amongst his driveway vehicles by his home security cameras around o-dark-thirty.
His response? He stepped out of his home pointing an AR rifle he'd built himself, and told them "I don't think you want to do that."
The car thieves fled in comic-like desperation. No property was taken, no shots were fired, no person was injured. Happy ending all around--or is it?
Is the use of an AR rifle in defense of property lawful, or could this homeowner be facing serious legal jeopardy.

Two men, one much larger than the other, get into a physical confrontation on a Philadelphia subway platform, with the larger man holding the smaller against a support column.
Suddenly the smaller man--now identified as Chaz Wearing--throws a punch, then another, sending the larger man staggering off the platform and onto the tracks--seconds before subway car enters the station and runs over the fallen man with fatal results.
Was this death lawful self-defense on the part of Wearing? Was it a genuine accident? Was it involuntary manslaughter--the criminal charge that has since been brought against Wearing?

In an officer-involved shooting that is reminiscent of Texas Police Officer Aaron Dean's 2019 prowler-investigating shooting of Atatiana Jefferson--for which Dean was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 11 years and 10 months in jail (perhaps not coincidentally that shooting occurred on November 10)--another Texas police officer has shot and killed another homeowner while responding to a prowling call.
Last week Texas Police Officer Lauren Nick responded to a prowling call, briefly investigated the area, then rang the doorbell of the caller. Almost instantly, Aaliyah Anders, a 26-year-old black woman, rushed out of the door, screaming wildly, and pointing a handgun at Officer Nick. Nick responded with four rounds fired in self-defense, killing Anders.
Not that it should matter, but in both cases the shooting victim was black. Officer Dean was white. I am unaware of the race of Officer Nick.
This event was captured on both the officer's body-worn camera and on the residence Ring camera, and I'll share those videos during today's show.

Three men got involved in a low-level confrontation outside an Illinois pizza place last Friday--and things escalated quickly, as captured on video.
Ultimately, Michael Freund, who was watching the other two men wrestle each other on a porch. One of those two men was purportedly a friend of Freund's, and the other was Dexter Perkins. Freund would ultimately pull out a pistol fired two warning shots, and then fired another 9 bullets into Perkins, killing him.
Freund has since been arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder and denied pre-trial release.
Could this be a lawful use of force in defense of others, with Freund intervening in lawful defense of his friend? Or was this just a senseless murder, as so many are?

A Texas mother of four children is compelled to shoot a burglar violently entering her home at night after she's unable to get the police to respond to her repeated 911 calls for help.
An Oregon woman facing a similar violent home intruder spends minutes talking with 911 as her home is breached, her pleas for police assistance being rejected--unfortunately, in this case the woman had no gun, and is sexually assaulted by her attacker.
We have the 911 recording of this second case--and I can tell you that it's a tough listen.
Today's show will focus on the increasing reality that nobody is coming to help you, and you must be prepared to be your own first responder--or suffer the consequences of being helpless against violent criminal predation.

Last Friday USCCA Chairman Tim Schmidt released a YouTube video responding to varied criticisms of that organization.
In particular, Tim spoke to criticism of how USCCA managed its legal defense obligations to two of its members--Kayla Giles (later found guilty of murder at trial and sentenced to life) and Alan Colie (found guilty on a mixed verdict, and ironically sentenced the day prior to the release of this USCCA video).
Full disclosure--some of that criticism has come from me, and can be found here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/uscca
Having watched Tim's video, however, I can't help but note that it fails to actually address key concerns about how USCCA handled the Giles and Colie cases, and therefore fails to address concerns about how much trust USCCA members can confidently place in the organization to "have their backs," as USCCA marketing materials proclaim.
Today's Law of Self Defense Show will be a response to this USCCA video, explaining my remaining concerns and where I see Tim's explanations of the Giles and Colie cases to fall short.
