In the theme of this podcast, just thought I’d let you know that Andrew Branca, lawyer and author of The Law of Self Defense, is going to be holding seminars in Texas late in the summer. http://lawofselfdefense.com/seminars/ . These seminars focus on state specific laws. I’ve signed up for the one in Garland in August.
Thanks for the info. I’ll have to look him up.
