OOPS BANG! Unintentional Shooting = Self-Defense?

A New York City liquor store owner finds two men stealing, and shoves them out the door onto the sidewalk. A verbal dispute continues, and one of the thieves charges at the store owner standing in his doorway, punching and kicking.

The store owner then follows the thief out onto the sidewalk, and throws a right hand at the thief.

In that right hand, however, was a pistol, and it discharges as the blow lands, resulting in a gun shot wound to the thief. Presumably the shot is unintentional.

The store owner has now ben charged with two counts of assault and is looking at 7 years in prison. (The thieves have been charged with petit larceny, and are looking at 1 year each.)

Could this shooting be justified as self-defense by the store owner? Join us LIVE at 11 AM ET as we break down the video of this confrontation, in the context of New York self-defense law, all in plain English!

There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there. Some are hot garbage. Some have limited resources. Some are simply, in my view, untrustworthy. But there is ONE that I PERSONALLY TRUST to protect myself and my family.
