On November 30 a civil lawsuit was filed against the Sig Sauer firearms company in Federal court in New Hampshire. The suit is brought by no fewer than 20 plaintiffs, all with similar claims--that the company's P320 pistol was defectively designed, that this defect caused them serious injury, and that Sig Sauer should be held liable for those injuries.
This suit is of particular interest to me in that I've carried a variety of Sig pistols--including for many years the P320--for personal protection. I was also for more than a decade a subject matter expert adjunct instructor at the Sig Academy on use-of-force law.
That said, my expertise is use-of-force law, and this is a civil suit--so I've invited on Attorney Dani Ahn, an experienced civil litigator, to share her expert insights into this lawsuit. Dani also has her own brand-new YouTube channel, and I urge you to take a look at that and subscribe! You can find her YouTube channel at: https://youtube.com/@daniahndirect. You can also find Dani on Twitter: @ElectDA4DA.

Today's show is a brief follow-up to yesterday's "If Only USCCA Had Done It Right: Part 1" (which can be found here: https://youtube.com/live/svR50r9xsFc)
Unfortunately, yesterday I had a hard stop at the top of the hour, and wasn't able to fully complete my thoughts on this topic--so I do that in today's show.
_______________________
The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) along with its partner Delta Defense LLC purport to pay their members legal expenses if the member is involved in a use-of force event. Indeed, their sophisticated internet advertising campaigns frequently feature CEO Tim Schmidt assuring the public that "We've got your back!"
In recent years, however, USCCA has refused to meet that apparent obligation to its members. When asked about this the organization has either provided no particularly substantive reasons--e.g., "we just feel we're not obligated to do so"--or has made up an outrageously not credible explanation months after the fact--e.g., "actually that member preferred we not help them."
It is for these reasons that I'm personally unable to recommend USCCA in good faith to anybody seeking legal services coverage in a use-of-force context.
That said, there DO EXIST scenarios in which it would arguably be appropriate for ANY use-of-force legal services company to decline to provide coverage--and we'll explore one of those scenarios in the context of a recent New Mexico Supreme Court decision.
If THIS had been USCCA's explanation for its repeated failure to cover its members, they'd have had a point. Too bad for them, however, that this was NOT their explanation.

This past Sunday night Jason Pass was filmed fatally shooting Bladimy Mathurin (47) and Chinwai Mode (27) in a Brooklyn NY hallway. This morning, Pass charged at police with a 6" knife, and this time it was he who was fatally shot, by police.
The shooting on Sunday involving Pass and his two victims have raised some questions on social media about whether this use of deadly force could potentially have qualified as lawful self-defense--in part because Mathurin had initially approached aggressively into Pass' personal space while holding up a pair of scissors.
Join me today LIVE at Noon ET as we break down this use-of-force event, applying actual New York State use-of-force legal principles, and note where a claim of self-defense would have more, or less merit!

You're lawfully armed with a pistol and suddenly find yourself facing a hostage scenario. Right before you a man is holding a machete to the neck of a wimpering woman.
There's no time to call for the police or wait for help--the woman is an instant away from being killed. You decide to intervene in the woman's defense.
You draw your pistol, fire--and unintentionally hit and kill the HOSTAGE!
What are the legal consequences of this well-intentioned action with such terrible results?
