Thank you Van Canna Sensei for your welcome.

And to all, I intend to begin the forum subject with a synopsis of the law of self defense in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I will post this as my first subject matter,
together with a brief explanation as to how the laws are applied, e.g. statute and case law.

I welcome brother/sister lawyers from all
jurisdictions for their comments and to any forum users interested in this subject matter.

Good luck Alan,

I'm no lawyer but I am a researcher and I wrote the only book in existance on the Canadian Criminal Code and self defense - so this is forum looks very interesting to me!

Congratulations Alan. Looks like you finally got your computer working. This should be a very busy forum now that we have a moderator.

Good luck

Brother Alan:

I am a member of the defense bar of the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 20 years; my active interests are martial arts.

Unlike yours (from what I understand from various postings on Van Canna's Forum) my Commonwealth puts no duty to retreat upon any Kentuckian - which looks nice in print but, as you can imagine, is very different in actual practice.

Glad you're reactivating the Forum, counselor.
