On Oh Gross, we explore the complicated laws of self-defense.

Gun laws, self-defense rights, and use-of-force rules vary wildly by state, and most people have no idea what applies to them. 

This week, Kara, Jennie, and Molly sit down with Kara’s dear friend, veteran crime journalist Tom Morris Jr., for a conversation everyone should hear, no matter where you stand on guns.

Kara and Tom have worked together for over two decades, on shows such as America’s Most Wanted and Live PD. Together, they break down how self-defense laws evolved in America, from the dueling Wild West to today, and why so many dangerous myths still exist, including misinformation shared in gun stores and online. Tom has been passionate about responsible gun ownership, legal awareness, and the real-world consequences of misinformation for the past 15 years.
