I wanted to communicate with all of our members directly to assure you that we stand with our Members when they are forced to defend themselves or their loved ones.

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.

Preparing for First Responders After a Self-Defense Shooting
When police respond to a self-defense shooting, their initial emphasis is on the “shooting” and not necessarily “self-defense.” While an armed defender may be quite confident that they are the “good guy,” responding police officers, understandably, won’t be so sure. Many people are surprised by how little information responding officers receive when dispatched, and that gap in context can produce a tense situation for police when they arrive on the scene of a self-defense shooting.
Read MoreInitial Aggressors and Provocateurs
It’s tough to claim self-defense if you’re the one who started the fight. The core legal principle behind the justification for using deadly force in self-defense is that the defender must have a reasonable belief that they faced the imminent threat of serious bodily injury or death at the hands of another. We’ve recently explored how different interpretations of the terms “reasonable belief,” “imminent threat,” and “serious bodily injury” can impact the justification for using deadly force, and we warned that there are other legal considerations that can adversely impact a defender’s self-defense claim. Chief amongst these are the concepts of “provocation” and “initial aggressor.”
