Concealed Carry And Law

I am not a lawyer. So this is not legal advice. I have also never been in a gunfight as a civilian. I have however, used my gun in defence, but I did not have to shoot it. So what I know is just what I have learned from others. I’ve talked about the need for restraint when you are armed. If you carry a gun you should not be easily angered. You should not be easily provoked. You should know when to draw your weapon and when you should run, or at least back off and leave.
Who are you going to call at 3 AM while the police are coming to arrest you for legally defending yourself and your family?
Here are four options to meet your specific, or unique needs:
1. Texas/US Law Shield https://www.uslawshield.com/
2. NRA Carry Guard https://www.nracarryguard.com/
3. USCCA (United States Concealed carry Association) https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/
4. Firearms Legal Protection https://firearmslegal.com/
There are others but these are the ones I’m most familiar with.
During a call and an interrogation you must say the “magic words”…
“I am the victim of a violent crime.”
”I want to remain silent.”
“I want an attorney present.”
If you fail to say the magic words your silence will and can be used against you in a court of law.
This is only my opinion. Get competent legal advice on what to say and not say.
It is ok to get them your name/identification.
If you have any weapon or a gun in your defence plan, take five minutes and get legal protection!

Here are some tips from “Criminal Defense Lawyer” by Lauren Baldwin
“A person is entitled to use a gun for self-defense in the U.S., if necessary, but laws in every state establish when a person can use force to defend himself (or another), and whether a person can use a weapon.”
“The law governing self defense does not excuse any violent act just because another person struck the first blow or made a violent threat. Traditional self defense laws require a person who is being attacked or threatened with imminent attack to act reasonably and
• retreat if possible without taking any physical action, and
• use only the amount of force reasonably necessary to fend off the attacker.”
“If the victim could not retreat, the jury usually next must consider whether the victim was reasonably in fear for his physical safety and whether any force the victim used was reasonable. The test is often whether a reasonable person in similar circumstances would be afraid and would act as the defendant did.”
“In general, people who are under attack in their own homes don’t need to retreat or try to escape, even if they can do so safely. Instead, they can typically “stand their ground” and use force—even enough force to kill—if they are in apparent danger of serious injury. The theory is that people shouldn’t have to run within or from their own homes—that they should be free to defend their “castles.””
“If you are charged with a crime, you should contact an attorney who is familiar with the criminal law in your state. If you used a gun in self-defense, you also should contact an attorney whether or not you have been charged with a crime. An experienced attorney can advise you of the law regarding guns and self-defense and represent you in a criminal case, if necessary.”
These were just snips from her article titled: “Using a Gun for Self Defense: Laws and Consequences.”

Being responsible in carrying a gun means getting and continuing training, learning laws, keeping laws, and doing your best to avoid, deter, and de-escalate any fight. You must do this if you are to be responsible. Otherwise, you’re just someone with a gun.
