Is this book for you?
This book isn’t for everyone.
If you’re a criminal looking to get away with murder, look somewhere else. This book isn’t a ‘get out of jail free’ card.
And if you’re the kind of person who thinks you can just hire a lawyer after the fact and he’ll bend the law to fit your use-of-force actions, this book probably won’t help you. (Pro-tip: your lawyer doesn’t have a time machine, he’s stuck with the facts you give him.)
It’s also not for those who merely rely on the police to keep them safe at all times. This is a book intended for people determined to defend themselves and their families, while minimizing the chances that their defensive use of force will end up with them in prison.
But if you understand the responsibility you have to protect yourself and your loved ones, if you work to ensure their safety by preparing for the worst, and if you refuse to be a victim of this world, this book is for you. It will prepare you to better protect your life in the physical battle as well as your liberty and wealth in the legal battle that follows. Our mission is to provide you with an actionable understanding of the law of self-defense so that you can make better informed and more confident decisions in the fight for your life.

“The Law of Self Defense is an excellent guide with comprehensive state-by-state information.”
“The Law of Self Defense did more to clear my understanding of the matter than anything else I’ve read or done.”
“Only 2 books have changed me, The Law of Self Defense and the Bible.”
“Buy a copy of Andrew Branca’s The Law of Self Defense. This is a no-brainer. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to be in charge of their own safety, not just concealed carry permit holders, because it lays out, in layman’s terms, what legal challenges you may face if you need to defend your life.”
“May be the most important book on the subject that I’ve seen yet. Easy to read, set up in a logical sequence. You make points and then illustrated them with stories from real life to show the practical application. I’ve been teaching use of lethal force/self defense for 20 years and have served as an expert witness on self defense, and yet in just the first 10 minutes of skimming, I’ve already learned valuable information.”
“I bought The Law of Self Defense on Kindle. It’s so good that I just ordered a physical copy so I can mark it all up!”
“The Law of Self Defense is the owner’s manual for your concealed carry permit.”
“This book will save your life just as surely as your self defense training. I would advise anyone teaching self defense to buy The Law of Self Defense.”
“Anyone with a CCW will be astounded & terrified they’re carrying without having the info in The Law of Self Defense. There’s so much to know!”
What We’ve Changed
The 2nd Edition is great. Here’s how we made it even better:
- We’ve added about 30% more content per chapter that addresses issues and questions we’ve heard from folks over the last three years.
- In that process we’ve updated and added new illustrative cases and explanations of issues and concepts.
- Naturally we also reviewed the many hundreds of statutes, jury instructions, and case law referenced in the book’s numerous tables, making sure that the law remained correct and updating where necessary.
- Plus, of course, it was a chance to do a re-write, and that almost always ends up in an even clearer, more readable book.
