No lawyer can be said to be engaged in good faith critical thinking if he’s not amenable to a reasoned change in opinion. I was reminded of this reality last evening while standing in line for the “Rise of the Resistance” ride at Disneyland in Orlando, Florida, reading a particular comment in response to a […]

I was recently sent video of an instance in which a bystander’s modest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills were nevertheless sufficient to save the life of a pregnant police officer who was struggling with a violent and apparently deranged criminal suspect. It’s also notable that I started my own BJJ just over a year ago (with about

I was just a guest on Mark Walter’s Armed America Radio program again, and we discussed a bunch of topics including the Israeli massacre, the Second Amendment, gun control, the Brooklyn stabbing death of the white BLM activist by a young black man, the offensive use of pepper spray, the mere reasonable appearance of a

This week the 9th Circuit, sitting en banc, granted a request by California’s Attorney General to leave in place the state’s current ban on standard-capacity magazines. In doing so, they stand in open rebellion against the United States Supreme Court–purportedly their superiors–in their refusal to even pretend to apply the constitutional legal analysis required the the Court’s decision in Bruen.

We normally think of OC (pepper) spray as being a less-than-lethal defensive weapon useful for dealing with non-deadly attacks. But what happens when OC is used OFFENSIVELY? In this real-world case captured on video, that offensive use of OC led directly to the death of the OC aggressor. Worth considering also is how an OFFENSIVE

A masked aggressor arguing with two men appears to pretend to be presenting a knife, when one of his two victims decides to take decisive defensive action against the mere APPEARANCE of threat. Lawful? Let’s take a look at the video of this use-of-force event and talk about it! Join me at Noon ET on

A motorcyclists riding amidst a crowd of others in Philadelphia got angry enough with a car driver that he decided to jump on the car’s rear window and smash it into the vehicle. Would the occupants of that car have been legally justified in simply shooting that motorcyclists dead? What if that same motorcyclists had

Watching hundreds of Israeli citizens being massacred, raped, and kidnapped by violent Hamas invaders has been utterly horrific. Sadly, these atrocities were made all the easier because Israel generally prohibits the private possession of arms for purposes of self-defense. There is no “Israeli version” of America’s Second Amendment. How differently would the last days have
