This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing in on cases related to qualified immunity and Second Amendment protections.

We dig into these complex cases and what they could mean for American freedoms and civil protections. We discuss qualified immunity for law enforcement and prison guards and take a close look at what happens when gun ownership runs afoul of protection orders.

Mike Thompson, associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Sioux Falls, provides our analysis.
