    Build A Legally-Sound Self-Defense Strategy Customized for YOU

    The value presented by the Law of Self Defense Seminar is considerable. Over the course of 4-5 hours, and at a fraction of the cost of consulting one-on-one with a lawyer, you will learn how to build a legally-sound self-defense strategy by:
    •Learning how to minimize your vulnerability to prosecution and civil suit.
    •Preparing yourself to win BOTH the physical AND the legal battles.
    •Learning not just the letter of the law but also how it’s actually applied actual courts and prosecutors to actual people.
    •Knowing what a prosecutor MUST prove in order to defeat your self-defense claim.
    •Learning key strategies for “armoring up” the most common legal vulnerabilities.
    •Understanding the incredible legal risks of defending others, and the strict limits on defending property.
    •Learning what “Stand-Your-Ground,” the “Castle Doctrine,” “Presumptions of Reasonableness” and “Self-defense Immunity” REALLY mean . . . and what they DO NOT mean.
    •Knowing what to say to 911, to the first responders, and to the investigative officers (pro-tip: each interaction is VERY different).

    REVIEWS
    “Not only a good idea, an EXCELLENT idea.”
    Taking Andrew Branca’s Law of Self Defense Seminar would be not only a good idea, but an EXCELLENT idea. I’ve known him for many years. He’s one of my graduates, and more to the point, he’s an attorney who focuses on this kind of issue with a passion. I thought his reportage from the courtroom in the Zimmerman case (check www.legalinsurrection.com during the period of the trial) was the gold standard. By all means, take his course. I also recommend his new book, available through www.lawofselfdefense.com.”

    “Understanding what Andrew teaches can keep you out of jail.”
    Having a gun when the police aren’t there to protect you can keep you alive, but understanding the material Andrew teaches can keep you out of jail to continue enjoying that life.
    –Dr. John Lott, Crime Prevention Research Center, Author: “More Guns, Less Crime”

    I listen to his podcast, he has a true skill for making legalese plainly understandable.

    I will definitely be there and drag a few friends along who now say they wish they had come to MAG40 with me a year and a half ago.

    One thing that I didn't highlight is that this is an ideal course for Maryland State Police Licensed or Certified Instructors to take.

    You will receive materials and handouts that you can use as teaching aides for the legal portions of classes that you conduct.

    You will also have plenty of opportunity to ask questions of one of the leading (if not THE leading) attorney in self defense law.

    Excellent point, and although I read the book: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=151394

    I agree, as an instructor it's our responsibility to be up to date and provide the best training and information available. Thanks again for all you do to lead and support our community.

    Thanks for your interest in The Law Of Self Defense Seminar with Attorney Andrew Branca.

    The June class more than half booked. Interestingly, many of the registrants are lawyers.

    If you have any interest at all, I suggest you reserve a seat now.

    I don't anticipate an issue with you sending someone else to take your seat as long as you provide acceptable notification in advance.

    Might have to go to this. As soon as I know my schedule for that time, so long as it's clear this seems like a no brainer (especially in this state).
