Today’s Lawful2Shoot? Focus: A Jury of One’s Peers is one of eight legal elements given to United States’ Citizen’s as a guaranteed right within the Sixth Amendment, ratified in 1791 in the Bill of Rights.

And the 8^th Amendment is further clarified and expanded by the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, by including as citizens, former slaves, persons born or naturalized, ‘who are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and specifically the State in which they reside’, as persons—’individuals instead of ‘subjects’---of the state’ therefore, shall not be deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process of the law, nor deny ‘persons within its jurisdiction’ equal protection of the laws.

Note: The writers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, wrote from the contextual mindset of ‘Former Subjects of England” in other words, in counter distinction to being “Subjects of The Crown”. Their word selection and composition determinations come from this hermeneutical personal perspective.

A ‘’Citizen” therefore is an individual, not a subject of the crown, and has freely subjected themselves under the laws of the United States and the specifically the State in which they call home, whether they were born or naturalized within the USA’ boundaries.

Sixth Amendment: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy(1) and public(2) trial, by an impartial jury(3) of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed(4), which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation(5); to be confronted with the witnesses against him(6); to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor(7), and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.(8)

Fourteenth Amendment: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Note: Semicolons main function is to provide readers further clarification of an already stated condition or fact, which in this case is “Subjects of the Jurisdiction of the U.S. and specific State of residency” in the 14^th Amendment. Citizens are further to possess as Individual Citizens due process of the laws they freely subjected themselves to enjoy life, liberty, and property along with equal protection within those laws they agreed to abide by as Citizens.

With the introduction established, let’s address more specifically, how these rights for US Citizens relates to using the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in lawful deadly force self-defense; while knowing and ultimately demanding to exercise the legal right to be judged by a jury of your peers in a court law within your jurisdiction.

After you use lawful deadly force self-defense and make the legal claim of lawful self-defense within the legal process tasked by law to investigate your use of deadly force, a jury selection will occur. And without getting into the entire procedure, I will just address how fellow citizens become one of your jurors.

Simply stated, the prosecution has the overwhelming majority of determination in the jury selection process. The defense’s influence as to who sits in the jury box is extremely limited. Your lawyer might, maybe, be successful in having a potential juror selected with the approval of the prosecution—because the prosecution believes it’s a weak selection which can be influenced in favor with the prosecution.

However today, there’s even more to worry about than a jury stacked in favor of the prosecution. People in society enter the jury pool, bringing with them their ideas of what justice is and what it should be. The average person in society today has been gradually influenced to be a societal activist, for the greater good of the people, as they feel the people are. They know nothing about legal definition and history. And they don’t want to either.

Today the majority of people under the age of 45-50 are opposed to everything which came before them. They have learned to fake compliance and agreement in order to gain access to the process in order to subvert it from within. They smile in agreement, while planning its demise. They do this not knowing anything but that they are saving the establishment from themselves, which is an honorable reason to subvert. Change is good, so change must happen, Period! We are Elite because we are not from the past.

And it get worse. Political radical leftists are currently subliminally brainwashing people who are not on guard as a normal state of mind, to join in the progression of freedom from all the influences of the past generations. Non-white criminals are victims in most cases of evil racism. White people who use guns to kill are murderers unless they kill other white individuals. And the definition of “White” is anyone with European or Jewish heritage.

And wait for it……...yes, it gets more worse. There are national organizations, well financed by anti-Americans’ wealth, which educate and train their people, which number in the many millions, how to legally negate the jury process from within. Deception and passive subversion tactics disguised as empathy, are employed to gain entry into the jury boxes in key jurisdictions where societal conflicts are being waged.

Anti law enforcement, anti-second amendment, anti-American, causes across the nation are actively entering the legal process to succeed in Jury Nullification, which is in fact, the very opposite of what the sixth amendment right guarantees citizens. Subversion!

Jury Nullification: The process of nullifying a jury involves circumventing the majority threshold imposed by each state’s laws. In most cases across the fifty states, all it takes is just one juror to not be convinced ‘beyond any reasonable doubt’, and the verdict is nullified. Justice has been averted or will cost a lot more money and time to be exacted, if possible at all.

Questions: What type of citizen perfects the art of avoiding jury duty? How often do citizens opt out of serving on a jury? And what types of citizens desire jury duty?

My opinion is that if you want a jury to be filled with the ‘Best Constitutional Law Abiding Citizens’ we would have to select only the individuals who don’t want to have their life interrupted by sitting on the jury. They are the citizens who are trustable, who have the mindset to be objective, honest, and thorough in their comprehension of the unfamiliar legal arguments they will hear.

I don’t know about you but, all the people through the years that I know who opted out of jury duty were in fact the very people I would wish to be on a jury should I ever have to be judged by one.

Thoughts to Keep in Mind in Preparation for Using Deadly Force Self-Defense: Whatever race you happen to be born as, matters. Sadly and unfortunately, more so today than ever in US History. The higher up in the societal victim paradigm you are the better your legal outcome will likely be.

For instance, me, I’m a white European late sixties, year old man with a conservative, republican, protestant, background, who believes the Creator’s name is Jesus Jehovah from Nazareth Israel, and is alive and will rule the world from Jerusalem sometime in the future. It is Jesus God whom I must answer to for my actions and The Truth always prevails in His Court.

I believe there are two types of people in the USA, Lawful and Unlawful. And I do not and will not agree with the thinking that unlawfulness is excusable if the individual experienced unjust, unfair, unequal, situations in life, which they assert is the reason why they broke the law, or ‘had to break’ the law. What race you are doesn’t factor into my thinking, but what does is what people say and do to others and myself, which are illegal.

It is every citizens responsibility to know the laws of the land both state and federal, and to live in accordance with those laws consistently, even if there is a disagreement regarding any specific law. For instance if a predominate liberal state does not allow conceal carry from a citizen from Florida, so be it, I will conduct myself in accordance with that law. If a state law says I must hide in my bedroom closet instead of engaging the felon who broke into my home in the middle of the night with a gun, that’s what I’m going to do while residing in that particular state.

What would today’s Jury of My Peers look like, should I have to stand before one? Will they have knowledge and or experience with the facts of my case? What will be their ability to reason in general, and more importantly what will be their ability to use that reasoning when evaluating my reasoning in my moment of extreme jeopardy, which they know absolutely nothing about experientially.

I have planned to educate such jurors to assist them, to essentially force them, to reason with the facts of the evidence. I will achieve this through my defense lawyer, will have what they need to submit into evidence what my mindset is today and what it was on the day in question, on all matters of my “Reasonableness” when I used deadly force in self-defense.

This blog and everything in my library, both physical and digital, as well as friends, family, and even general people I met day to day over the past 23 years, will all serve as key witnesses as to my lawful, reasonable, mindset, and my moral law-abiding character.

Educating the jury concerning my defense requires that evidence exists which proves the essential element of Reasonableness when I had to choose to use deadly force. First element of reasoning is avoiding the threat both prior to and during the actual threatening action moment. Secondly, my reasonableness in remaining innocent in the creation, causation, of the altercation. Third, to reasonably discerning when the deadly threat began—when the moment it becomes real in occurrence. And fourth, that I responded with proportional force which would prevent my serious bodily harm and or death.

Simply stated, in order for members of the jury to become a Jury of My Peers, they need to become my……peers. In this current society this is much easier said than done. But I will say that here in central Florida the likelihood that a jury would be of similar reasoning to my own, is better than it would be in many other areas of the nation—Massachusetts or New York are cases in point.

My defense attorney’s responsibility is to make sure the jurors learn from the evidence of my life and the evidence within my possession, plus my communities’ testimony , exactly who I am and what I know, and my thinking on the subject of using deadly force, lawfully, when under a real deadly threat.

Having a personal lawful history, as well as writings of my Use-of-Force Law education, articles, books, videos, memberships and relationships, within my county and larger general area of Central Florida, will bring the members of the jury into my mindset, enabling their comprehension and their ability to expand enabling them to accurately analyze and apply their reasoning to the evidence from the scene, the evidence of my life and ultimately will reveal to them my lawful reasoning for their consideration in determining my legal standing.

The objective is to enhance the members of the jury in their conclusion process so that they would conclude that they would have done what I did if they faced the same exact situation.

But even here in central Florida the aforementioned “Corruption Factor” within in the jury, is unpredictable because it operates in stealth within all societies throughout the nation and its purpose is to create lies and deception using psychological warfare to cause just one juror to have what they “Feel” is a reasonable doubt which they can’t get beyond. And If there happens to be a racial component present in the case, my person and thus my actions, will automatically be suspect in the mind of the radical leftist juror.

The current ‘racial grievance industrial complex’ asserts forcefully that “All white people, without their knowledge, are racist against non-whites. Non-blacks by nature, which they are unaware of, are racists and are unable to fix this unjust despicable condition. Therefore, this type of juror will conclude “He killed that guy because he was not white, I’m voting guilty because in my gut I know I am right, and I have a right to my feeling just like everyone else. I would have found a way to not shoot.”

What, therefore, can be done to legally counter this horrible misconception of non-black people who are forced to use deadly force to prevent their own death or great bodily harm?

Reverse Engineering Deadly Force in Lawful Self Defense – Because of the probability that leftist activism will be a factor in white-person self-defense shooting cases today, a person who carries daily should work through various possible scenarios and develop subsequent strategies which will prohibit distortions of the truth thus perverting the reality of the situation.

Knowing the leftist strategies provides us with the ability to make the alterations necessary to disable and negate the leftist assertions. Let’s say the situation is black and white, in that I’m white and the deadly force attacker was black.

First, I have a long personal history of black and other non-white relationships, which are and have been at the highest moral level; on the same moral level as white-on-white relationships….there is no difference. Good people from all races are created by my God Jesus the King of Kings and I’ve know many intimately.

Second, if the situations allows, which is determined by the attacker, I will clearly forcibly voice my desire for that person to stay alive and safe before the point of imminence occurs. And even as the threat starts I’ve disciplined myself to voice this desire as I bring the gun into view just before firing shots to prevent my grave harm or death.

Third, I will be physically backing up, strategically, to defuse the situation and to maintain balance and to better enable counter measures to negate damage and to provide my ability to bring the gun into play for possible use should the situation not work to my safety; to negate damage, provide time, encourage a cease in violence, create space and time to better judge when the very last iota of time is lost, and shots must be fired to prevent death or serious injury.

It will be ugly, but......very controlled. Damage to me is most likely using this strategy, but it’s my way, my acceptable risk. Before if and when I am forced by the attacker to take their life, it will be because I can create no other way of escape due to their actions prohibiting me to do so. As a very last resort, shots will be fired to end the threat, not to take this person’s life.

If I could throw a lead blanket over the attacker to stop their deadly force against me, I would, but so far I have not found a way to keep something like that in my pocket. Better yet, if I could develop the ability to read minds of people from 30 feet away or vanish into thin air, I would prefer that over using lead bullets to save my life.

Now, if the threatening person reveals a gun or knife, I’ll be bringing the gun into play as fast as physically possible and shots will occur when the threatening person advances (as I back up) to a distance of less than 12 feet. Obviously if the attack begins inside of 12 feet shots will be fired immediately and continue until the threat ends or I am dead.

My practice sessions in such scenarios reveals that I’m able to put 6 shots into the midsection in one second while rapidly backing up or even failing backward to the ground. From my concealed holster to the 6^th shot fired occurs in 1.06 seconds. Gun will fire from the hip holster area, while the laser lights up the shot placement, camera recording visual and audio, and left arm creating distance to ensure a better possibility of accurate midsection shot placement.

A jury of my peers will experience via my defense attorney, a master class training exercise in the courtroom. Hopefully they’ll become clients as I also hope the prosecutor and judge does as well.

Hope you will contact me for your free consultation and evaluation, looking forward to providing you with greater ability to use any level of force lawfully, should the need be forced upon you.
