#858 Should You Be Allowed to Use Deadly Force to Protect Your Family?

The host and guests explore the growing concerns regarding EU-led expansions of hate speech laws and the complexities of Irish self-defense laws. The discussion delves into the ethics of using force during home burglaries, weighing the instinct to protect one's family against the legal risks of excessive force and the potential for vigilantism.
