Self-defense in Your Underwear?; National Concealed Carry License?; Your Questions Answered!

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

Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross answer your latest legal questions about self-defense, concealed carry, jury selection, and what happens after a defensive shooting.

Can you put clothes on after a home-defense shooting without being accused of tampering with evidence? Is there really such a thing as a “National Concealed Carry License” that lets you carry in all 50 states? And why could saying “I was in fear for my life” potentially sound rehearsed to police, prosecutors, or a jury?

Richard Hayes and Leslie Cross also discuss whether a jury foreman can influence the other jurors, how attorneys approach pre-trial immunity hearings, and what they look for when selecting jurors in a criminal case.

In this episode:

• Can you get dressed after a self-defense shooting?• Could changing anything at the scene be considered evidence tampering?• Are “National Concealed Carry Licenses” legitimate?• Is there currently a permit that allows carry in all 50 states?• Why “I feared for my life” may sound coached or rehearsed• What makes a defensive statement sound authentic?• Do jury foremen influence jury deliberations?• Can certain personalities have more influence inside the jury room?• How attorneys evaluate jurors in self-defense cases• The strategy behind pre-trial self-defense immunity hearings• Does presenting your self-defense case early reveal too much to prosecutors?• Does prior jury service matter during jury selection?• Is an eager potential juror a good thing or a red flag?
