As our readers know, Andrew Branca is THE expert on self-defense and Stand Your Ground law. He also has a great deal of knowledge about 2nd Amendment and gun control issues.

What you might not recall, is that Andrew originally was a commenter at Legal Insurrection. In the run up to the George Zimmerman Trial in June 2013, Andrew’s comments were so outstanding that I asked him to cover the trial.

Andrew’s daily, live trial coverage was outstanding, and he has been covering self-defense and 2nd Amendment issues for us since.

John Ekdahl, who writes at Ace of Spades HQ, tweeted about a video he just saw of Andrew being interviewed on German TV on February 28, 2014.

Hadn’t seen this. Why @LawSelfDefense is awesome and deserves a follow. https://t.co/L5FnmN5nGm — John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) June 21, 2015

We have posted the video before, but here it is again. A brilliant discussion of what Stand Your Ground is and is not, the Dunn and Zimmerman cases, and questionable statistics used to delegitimize SYG.

Andrew’s own website is The Law of Self Defense, where you can sign up for his seminars.
