IF YOU HAVE ABOUT AN HOUR…

So, last spring at the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, the day after I spoke to the collection of attorneys at the NRA’s annual Firearms Law Seminar, I did an interview on the show floor with the folks from Viridian, who make many very cool firearms accessories.

I was there to speak mostly to what I’ve seen in four and a half decades in the criminal justice system: a sworn police officer for forty-some years until my recent retirement from that; 1988 to June of 2017 as a police prosecutor for a municipal police department in a northern New England state; and mainly, 1979 to present as an expert witness for the courts in cases involving weapons and deadly force.

It runs a little over fifty minutes.  The topic was self-defense by law-abiding armed citizens, though some elements of line-of-duty police shootings were also discussed.

If you have the time and the inclination, you’re invited to watch…and of course, to comment here.

By the way, Viridian had just introduced a camera that fits on a gun to record its use.  They are getting one of those units to me to test, and I’m looking forward to that … and you’ll see some of the results here in due time.  But, interesting thing – they recorded the whole discussion on those gun cameras, and I am very impressed with how sharply and distinctly the images and sound came out.
