Survival is step one. We're step two.
Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross answer some of your biggest self-defense and gun-law questions: Can a jury simply ignore a law it believes is wrong? Should you answer if 911 calls you back after a defensive shooting? And if police seize your firearms during an investigation, can you legally go buy another one?
They also discuss how being a senior citizen can affect the reasonableness analysis in a self-defense case, why Texas does not currently have the kind of pre-trial self-defense immunity available in many other states, and what Texans can do if they want lawmakers to change that.
Plus, Richard answers a personal question: If he were involved in a self-defense shooting, would he represent himself—or hire another attorney to defend him?
In this Q&A:
• Can a jury disregard the judge’s instructions and engage in jury nullification?• Could jury nullification create grounds for an appeal?• What should you do when 911 calls you back after you disconnect?• Does being 77—or otherwise elderly—change when deadly force is justified?• Can age, physical condition, mobility, and other vulnerabilities affect whether your belief was reasonable?• If police seize your guns but you haven’t been charged, can you purchase another firearm?• What changes if you’re charged, placed under bond conditions, or indicted for a felony?• What exactly is pre-trial immunity for self-defense?• Why doesn’t Texas currently have it?• How can Texans push legislators to create stronger pre-trial protections?• Would Richard ever represent himself after a defensive shooting?
Leave your QUESTION in the comments for a chance to have Richard, Leslie, Emily, or Edwin answer it in an upcoming Armed Attorneys Q&A.
