Today I react to two YouTube videos about the USCCA/Alan Colie controversy that seem to come to opposite conclusions!THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE INSURANCE PROVIDE I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

We're getting candid in our interview with Beauty School Dropout. We chat with Colie, Beepus, and Bardo about the importance of fangirl culture keeping the music industry alive, how they combine influences of scene and hardcore music with pop songwriting structure, and how they're teaching a new generation of concert goers to open up a mosh pit. The band released their sophomore album READY TO EAT this October after a busy touring year – opening for Blink 182, Jxdn, Maggie Lindemann, as well as performing at Lollapalooza and Download Fest, and making it across the US on their own headline tour. Beauty School Dropout was signed in 2022 by A&R Mark Hoppus under the new label Verswire with Pete Wentz and Sherry Saeedi.

Last Friday USCCA Chairman Tim Schmidt released a YouTube video responding to varied criticisms of that organization.  In particular, Tim spoke to criticism of how USCCA managed its legal defense obligations to two of its members--Kayla Giles (later found guilty of murder at trial and sentenced to life) and Alan Colie (found guilty on a mixed verdict, and ironically sentenced the day prior to the release of this USCCA video). Full disclosure--some of that criticism has come from me, and can be found here:  https://lawofselfdefense.com/usccaHaving watched Tim's video, however, I can't help but note that it fails to actually address key concerns about how USCCA handled the Giles and Colie cases, and therefore fails to address concerns about how much trust USCCA members can confidently place in the organization to "have their backs," as USCCA marketing materials proclaim. Today's Law of Self Defense Show will be a response to this USCCA video, explaining my remaining concerns and where I see Tim's explanations of the Giles and Colie cases to fall short.

Back on April 2 of this year DoorDash delivery guy Alan Colie found himself confronted in a shopping mall food court by two aggressive pranksters, the leader of whom was one Tanner Cook. Colie would ultimately shoot Cook once, causing serious but not fatal injuries. Colie would be charged with malicious wounding, firing of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and and discharging a firearm in a building--all felonies. Colie's sole legal defense to all three charges was the justification of self-defense.In September Colie was acquitted by jury of the malicious wounding and use of a firearm in commission of a felony charges, but found guilty of the lesser discharging a firearm in a building charge. The trial judge declined the defense request to dismiss the conviction on the grounds that it was inconsistent with the acquittals, which necessarily required the jury to find self-defense.Sentencing is scheduled for December 21, and Colie is looking at a maximum of 5 years.I originally did a legal breakdown of this event in the Law of Self Defense Show of October 2, but I return to the event today for reasons having less to do with the legal merits of the case and more to do with the role that "self-defense insurance" company USCCA may have played--or, rather, may have refused to pay.Evidence in this case suggests that Colie was a member of USCCA at the time of the shooting, that Colie called USCCA immediately after the shooting (as USCCA instructs its members to do), and that USCCA may have refused to honor its purported commitment to Colie to cover his legal expenses in this self-defense trial.This rings all too consistent with how USCCA similar refused to cover USCCA member Kayla Giles after she claimed self-defense following the shooting of her estranged husband in September 2018. Giles would later be found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life plus 30 years, a conviction later affirmed on appeal. To what extent her conviction was the result of her being denied desperately needed legal resources by USCCA can never be known.This was all brought to my attention again in recent days by Law of Self Defense Member Floyd, who linked me to an interesting discussion of the Colie case and the relevance of USCCA to that case on the video channel of Attorneys Marc Victor and Andy Marcantel--both of whom I've had personal conversation in the past, and who strike me as smart and capable attorneys. Floyd also linked me to some news stories that raise similar questions.So, did USCCA refuse to cover another of their members in a self-defense case? In today's show we'll take a look at the available evidence.Learn why CCW Safe is the ONLY "Self-Defense Insurance" I TRUST!lawofselfdefense.com/trustLearn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
