ATF Rules After Chevron, Paint Bombs, and Shockwave Carry

JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP: armedattorneys.com/memberships
Survival is step one. We’re step two.

Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor answer your self-defense and firearms law questions in another episode of Armed Attorneys Question & Answer.
This week we discuss whether ATF rules still carry legal force after the Supreme Court’s Chevron decision, whether paint bombs and other anti-porch pirate devices are legal, carrying a Mossberg Shockwave in Texas, when bodily injury becomes serious bodily injury, why legally justified self-defenders sometimes still end up convicted, and whether anyone has ever successfully defended a self-defense case involving a cap-and-ball black powder firearm.
Topics covered:
• Do ATF rules still have legal effect after Chevron deference was overturned?• Can federal agencies still create enforceable regulations?• Mossberg Shockwave carry laws in Texas.• Paint bombs, porch pirates, and devices used to protect property.• Texas Penal Code §9.44 and defensive devices.• Bodily injury vs. serious bodily injury in self-defense.• When does a broken tooth justify deadly force?• Why justified self-defense cases sometimes still end in convictions.• Black powder firearms and real-world self-defense cases.• Your self-defense legal questions answered.
