Welcome to today’s Law of Self Defense Members-only content! I am, of course, Attorney Andrew Branca, for Law of Self Defense.
Today I’d like to share with you the video--and a transcript!--of my recent interview by Rich Brown of the American Warrior Society, on his weekly show “Coffee with Rich.”
Over the course of that roughly hour-and-a-half interview Rich and I discussed a wide variety of self-defense law related topics and cases including the Kyle Rittenhouse case, the Ahmaud Arbery case, the Jacob Blake case, the Rayshard Brook case, the George Zimmerman case, as well as various political dynamics around many of these high-profile self-defense cases.
Enjoy!
OK, folks, that’s all I have for you on this topic (except for the transcript of that interview below my signature!).
Until next time:
Remember
You carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.
Know the law so you’re hard to convict.
Stay safe!

In today's News/Q&A Show for September 2, 2021 we did things in a different way than normal, and focused exclusively on discussing and answering live questions about the Ashli Babbitt shooting of January 6, 2021.
I decided to use today's News/Q&A Show to wrap up my coverage and analysis of that tragic event, and tie up any last questions that folks might still have in their minds.

Yesterday I published a detailed legal analysis of the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, in response to a recent tsunami of requests to do so. You can find that analysis here: “Sad but True: Jan. 6 Shooting of Ashli Babbitt was Legally Justified.”
Because of the great public interest in this particular case, we are leaving that analysis available on an open-access basis to the general public, rather than restricting it to our Law of Self Defense Members as is our usual practice. We’ll also be leaving today’s content open-access, for similar reasons. So, if you’d like to share either yesterday’s analysis or today’s content with others, feel free.
One of the events that has triggered these recent requests for this legal analysis of the Ashli Babbitt shooting is the publication on August 28, 2021 of an opinion piece by Professor Jonathan Turley in “The Hill,” entitled “Justified shooting or fair game? Shooter of Ashli Babbitt makes shocking admission,” and apparently written in response to a television interview of Lt. Byrd aired earlier that day (you can view that television interview here: “Extended Interview: Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd Speaks Out.”)
Professor Turley’s August 28 opinion piece on the Ashli Babbitt shooting falls far short of the stellar quality I’m accustomed to seeing in his work. Indeed, from the perspective of this small-town lawyer claiming some modest expertise in use-of-force law, Professor Turley’s opinion piece seems wildly off the mark, especially coming from a notable legal expert, and can only be described as disappointing.
