Episode #9: Dealing with the Immediate Aftermath of a Use of Lethal Force

[Rastus]

D-man,

I just did a training DVD that will be released later this year with Marty Hayes of the Armed Citizen Legal Defense Network. He advised against that type of card for some very good reasons. <snip>

Got my membership materials back not too long ago with three DVD's.  I highly recommend everyone who carries join:

Membership is well over 1000 and growing.   With additional membership growth, at some point in the future the great information pool should be further supplanted and expanded with actual legal counsel for members involved in self-defense shootings.

Have they actually defended any one yet, for some verifiable feed back ?

They do not defend anyone at present.  There is no service or staff for that.  What they do is provide information right now.  This is the organization and guy, Marty Hayes, that MB recorded for his podcast at the Rangemaster/Polite Society get together a few weeks ago.  Mr. Hayes used to work with Massad Ayoob. 

Right now it's an organization in progress that has provided me some very good information.  Seems to be growing fast enough to me and I think it is an aid to concealed carry holders.  The level of information of people on this board is way far ahead of the general gun toting public and this organization can benefit them the most.

Good episode--I learned a lot.  Now on to a suggestion for future episodes (or even a series to follow Best Defense, Survival): the law as it relates to firearms.  Some possible episodes:
--The Second Amendment:  what did it mean then, what does it mean today
--Major federal laws governing firearms
--The disparity and complexity of state firearm laws
--Carry permits; reciprocity
--How to handle a police stop when carrying (or even having a permit)
--Justified use of lethal force
--Requirement to flee from a threat if possible
--Castle doctrine
--Affirmative defense (in Virginia the presumption is 2nd degree homicide unless you can affirmatively prove otherwise)
--Legal preparations: picking a couple of lawyers you could call; knowing what to not say to the police
--Forces of change in the law:  Brady organization, Bloomberg, NRA, etc.

There are many real-life incidences that could add a lot of good insight into these topics, showing that sometime the outcome is good, sometimes bad.  The first two seasons of Best Defense have focused on saving your life.  A future season should be dedicated to preserving your liberty.
