Sound Legal Analysis, or Shameful Misinformation?

from The Andrew Branca Show · host Attorney Andrew F. Branca

Two days ago, Attorney William Kirk, the President of law firm Washington Gun Law, released a YouTube video on his extremely popular channel (~360,000 subscribers) providing legal analysis of the tragic shooting death of Roger Fortson.The title of that video: "The Florida Man Who Was Executed for Exercising His Constitutional Rights." (Find it here: https://youtu.be/IWepSw11YiA?si=_mxXs...)Given that this analysis was by a fellow attorney popular with the gun community, I eagerly looked forward to his analysis. It was, to say the least, disappointing. Indeed, a good case can be made that the video not only failed to provide anything resembling sound legal analysis, it was rife with emotionally-laden misinformation. Indeed, the video makes zero--as in zip, zilch, none--reference to any relevant Florida law that would determine if Fortson's shooting was legally justified. Not a word. In my opinion, criminal defense lawyers in particular should do better when covering such high-profile, emotionally-charged use-of-force events. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there. Some are hot garbage. Some have limited resources. Some are simply, in my view, untrustworthy.
