An officer approaches a masked young black man with an apparent Glock tucked in his waistband, at gun point.
Despite repeated orders to not reach for the Glock, the suspect does so, pulling it from his waistband. The cop shoots the suspect.
Later it turns out the the "Glock" in question was a highly-detailed replica BB gun.
Still a lawful shoot by the officer?

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?

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.

Two men bump chests in a bar. One starts swinging his fists at the other. The other responds by promptly presenting a handgun and shooting the puncher.
Lawful self-defense by the shooter? Or an unlawful use of deadly force?

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.
The apartment resident has decided to defend his "castle" by sending a fusillade of fire through his own door and into the corridor outside--with rounds impacting the wall beside his neighbor's apartment!
Lawful use of defensive force? Reckless endangerment?

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? Or was that last shot one shot too many?

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!

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!
