23: The Booby Traps

Rebuttal Podcast

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Humans have been digging moats, slingshotting arrows, poisoning food, and laying spikes for thousands of years — and modern day booby traps are still alive and well. But what do an Indiana Jones-inspired hot tub contraption and a haunted house’s 20-gauge shotgun have in common? Vengeance.

This episode starts the engine for Episode 24’s deep dive into self-defense, "Stand Your Ground" laws, defense of property, and the Castle Doctrine. But first, listen to Reb pick tibia bones and shotgun pellets off the floor in Katko v. Briney (1971).
