Today begins the manslaughter trial of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the western "Rust," where actor Alex Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

I covered the first couple of hours of proceedings this morning, including the State's opening statement, but then had to take a break for a client matter.

In 2023, the year after the seminal Supreme Court's Second Amendment decision of Bruen, the state of Illinois chose rebellion and passed into law the most severe gun control law in its 200 year history, effectively banning both "assault weapons" and many other commonly owned firearms. An suit by gun owners brought by gun owners against the new law failed in Federal trial court, and appeal of that decision to the Federal 7th Circuit also failed. Last December the US Supreme Court refused to stay that law pending its becoming effective, in a decision that earned a scathing dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas, the primary author of Bruen. Now that the law has taken effect Illinois gun owners are again petitioning the US Supreme Court to invalidate this Illinois gun law on its merits, as violative of the Second Amendment. In today's show we read through this request to the Supreme Court, formally known as a petition for writ for certiorari, filed just last week. This petition shows in clear and direct language how severely the Illinois state government and the 7th Circuit has rebelled against the clear demands of Bruen. Join me LIVE at NOON ET!

Craig Tucker, a retired Marine colonel with an impressive military resume, has apparently been hired by the state of California to provide expert witness testimony to support the state's assault weapons ban. Which is fine, except that he's apparently insane. For example, did you know that a single 5.56mm round can separate the upper half of a person's body from the lower half? No, I'm not kidding, that's what "gun expert" Tucker has told a Federal trial court in a sworn declaration. Fortunately, our Second Amendment defenders have their own actual gun experts who are exposing Tucker's madness. In today's show we'll read through Tucker's insane declaration, as well as read through a response by the far more reputable and sane Buford Boone. Join me LIVE at NOON ET to discuss!

You're lawfully armed with a pistol and suddenly find yourself facing a hostage scenario. Right before you a man is holding a machete to the neck of a wimpering woman. There's no time to call for the police or wait for help--the woman is an instant away from being killed. You decide to intervene in the woman's defense. You draw your pistol, fire--and unintentionally hit and kill the HOSTAGE! What are the legal consequences of this well-intentioned action with such terrible results?

Today I'll be completing the reading of this past week's decision by the Hawaii Supreme Court to tell the Supreme Court of the United States to piss off re: the Second Amendment. In an absolutely ridiculous decision, the Hawaii Supreme Court has simply thumbed its nose at the entirely of the modern Second Amendment law of the US Supreme Court, going so far as to prioritize "Aloha spirit" over the SCOTUS rulings of Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. I don't claim a great deal of Second Amendment expertise myself, but I can read a court opinion, I can spot legal nonsense, and best of all my friend and Second Amendment lawyer Kostas Moros has shared his own, and genuine, insights into this decision. So join me LIVE on Saturday, Feb. 10, at Noon ET, as I to a reading and legal analysis of Hawaii v. Wilson, supplemented with key legal (and humorous) insights courtesy of Attorney Kostas Moros.

Former Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is looking at 60 years in prison on Federal fraud charges, after recently having been convicted of perjury. This is the same woman who fabricated an investigation and persecuted six Baltimore police officers over the in-custody death of black male Freddy Gray, way back in 2015. I covered the trials of those six officers in real-time--in all cases the charges against the officers were either dropped or the officers were acquitted at bench trial by a black judge. In today's show we share our recollections of Mosby's outrageous conduct as State's Attorney in the Freddie Gray manner, as a cautionary tale about the hazards of making oneself visible to the criminal justice system.

An argument between two men in a bodega goes ballistic when one of them pulls a handgun.

A couple are awoken at o-dark-thirty by the sound of loud banging on their front door. As the man retrieves a firearm the woman calls 911 to report an apparent home invasion. Then the glass in the the door shatters and the male homeowner fires a single shot through the front door. When police arrive they find a very drunk and very deceased college student dead from gun shot on the front porch. He had just moved into a home on the same street, and drunkenly thought he was breaking into what he mistakenly believed was his own home. In fact, this college student had no criminal state of mind when he tried to enter the wrong home, and would have caused no harm if he'd not been shot--yet the homeowner nevertheless shot him dead through the front door as if he were a genuine home invader.

The Republican-controlled legislature is advancing House Bill 5 (HB5), also known as the "Safer Kentucky Act," and it includes a ton of tough-on-crime provisions that other states that value the safety of their residents out to consider modeling. (Kentucky's governor is a Democrat, but the Republican legislator is a super-majority with veto-override capability.) Included in the 72-page bill are provisions that: prohibit or tightly constrain probation and parole for a variety of violent crimes, makes death-by-fentanyl-sale a capital crime, substantially elevate the severity and sentences for a variety of violent crimes including carjacking, prohibits unlawful homeless encampments, explicitly approves the use of force by property owners or renters to remove squatters or trespassers, empowers the state Attorney General to sue any that decline to enforce that law (e.g., sanctuary cities), requires homeless shelters to prohibit resident individuals from the use of drugs or alcohol and require that they consent to mental health conditions and refrain from criminal activity, allows for the institutionalizing of individuals without requiring proof of criminal conduct, tightly restricts the ability of "charitable bail organizations" to bail out violent criminals, strengthens the ability of retail establishments to use force to detain shoplifters and organized theft rings, provides criminal and civil immunity to shoplifters who lawfully use force to stop shoplifters, defines reckless endangerment with a firearm as a "violent offender" crime for which probation or parole is tightly constrained, expands the definition of terroristic threatening to include any building and any gathering of 3 or more persons, mandates that school employees report to police certain violent acts or firearms possession by students, expands the definition of "serious physical injury" for certain domestic violence offenses (including "dating" relationships), greatly increases the penalties for flight from the police, ... and much, much more!

In this episode of the Law of Self Defense Q&A Show we'll address a variety of self-defense law questions, including: Does an attached garage/enclosed porch count as part of my “castle”? How is curtilage defined, and what does that do for me? If burglary justifies deadly defensive force, what qualifies as burglary? How legally perilous is it to come to the defense of a stranger? What is an “unpublished” court opinion, and why does that matter? What is the burden of production, and who has it? How do I tactically manage being approached by a group of scary men? What happens if I shoot in lawful self-defense, but hit an innocent bystander? Should self-defense instructors use a disclaimer when teaching about self-defense law? Just in case I ever need one, can you recommend a use-of-force instructor? Should you have your LAWYER, rather than yourself, call 911?
