Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Leslie Cross discuss self-defense reasonableness, aggressive protesters using unconventional weapons, caliber choice in defensive shootings, and what happens when police enter a home without a warrant.
In this episode, Emily and Leslie break down how juries and prosecutors evaluate reasonableness in self-defense cases — including whether a person’s physical size, strength, or perceived advantage can be used against them after a defensive incident.
They also analyze modern protest tactics involving bullhorns, whistles, lasers, and high-intensity lights, and where the legal lines are when these tools may constitute assault or even deadly force due to the risk of permanent hearing or vision damage.
The attorneys answer viewer questions about alcohol and firearms left in vehicles, defensive gun use by a sober spouse, third-party firearm storage during mental-health struggles, and what police can lawfully seize after a defensive shooting.
Finally, they address one of the most difficult scenarios in self-defense law: warrantless police entry, mistaken raids, and when armed officers may legally be treated as intruders under deadly force law.
