The True Costs of Self-Defense
Financial and Emotional Damage
The Legal Battle. Especially in critical force cases, the cost of a proper defense can be overwhelming. Attorneys' fees alone can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you may need to pay for private investigators and expert witnesses.
Living with Trauma. Fighting for your freedom in court can be emotionally devastating when you recently fought for your life. That is why we offer the highest caliber of legal coverage with our memberships and complementary sessions with a certified counselor.

Why Is Proper Defense Essential?
Sometimes, an innocent person who cannot afford a proper defense can end up in jail.
Each state is required to disprove any one of the five elements of self-defense in order to win the case. What this means is that each element is a target, and the prosecution may work hard to find just one element that they can attack. It is not a matter of whether or not the accused threatened, injured, or killed another person as they have already admitted that they did. However, the accused contends that the action took place because of the direct actions of the other person. Concealed carriers should be aware that judges sometimes make improper rulings during the trial, and that the win rate for cases that prosecutors take to trial may be as high as 90%. The consequences for unlawfully using a firearm to threaten, harm, or kill another person are harsh. Set out below are some examples:
- Murder: Life in prison.
- Manslaughter: 15 to 40 years in prison.
- Aggravated Assault/Battery: 10 to 20 years in prison.
- Brandishing/Menacing: Jail time may vary but attorney costs including fines may be as high as $100,000 or even more.
