Do you have a Self Defense legal team membership?

I have Second Call. Got it around when I caught some tweakers rummaging through my truck in the loading zone outside of Home Depot. That could have gone south quickly. Figure $300/yr is better than me forking out $100K for a decent atty. (had it come to that)

Probably six years before that I came upon an accident scene, at night in bad weather, where a guy put his fist into a windshield in a road rage incident. Looked like a terrified old couple, I told him to get lost. Clearly he was on something.

Prior to that, probably 15 yrs ago, some attorney, late for work and not used to roundabouts, ran my wife off the road than tried to blame her. Sheriff showed up as I arrived and asked if I was armed and upset, told him I wasn't "that upset ".

I'm mature (means old), have my own range and practice often, so I'm not going to fly off the handle, but I know how the world is.

don't have it. when i was working,as far back as 70s,malpractice for nurses was being pushed hard. many of us,myself included,beleieved it made one a target. back then anyway,nurses weren't worth suing. most didn't have much,esp newish ones.
suites against nurse always got into a war with the employer who was responsible for their actions. that is why on a new job you got to read and sign off on a 50 page policy manual. get a suite and management would try and prove that the nurse didn't follow policy as they had signed off on.
kinda like the self defense legal rat fuck that gets sprung on those that defend themselves or others. in fact most DRs are forced by hospitals to have malpractice in order to join a hosp staff. many i knew got around it by being self insured or putting everything in the wife's name.
lawyers churn the shit out of the clock on this kind of stuff at $300+/hr. they won't start anything that doesn't look like a winner.that is why the likes of Willis and Crockett can do their stuff. we are paying their salaries.
 
As Ayoob wrote years ago, in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting, expect to be arrested.

I don't want to be handcuffed, in the back of a police car trying to figure out what next and who to call.
Expect to be detained and likely arrested. Also expect that it is only the start of a long legal and civil process.

One of the best, informative reads is Massad Ayoob's The Gravest Extreme.

He gives sobering insight for those who want to be a badass or hero with a gun.

After reading and understanding it, an intelligent person will no longer look at a gun as a way to enlarge his testicles.

Even a justified shoot will cost the good guy a fortune; his reputation in the business world and possibly his marriage. A woman that wouldn't stick with her husband through the ordeal is a sorry pos but there are many that wouldn't and when she takes the kids she's getting the house.

sad but true. the only choice in this deranged society is be tried by 12 or carried by 6. Rittenhouse got lucky. legal help was (to him) pro bono. he,nor most of us,could not have afforded it. if the shootees had been baboons,nothing would have saved him.
 
Or the Uber driver that got blocked by an Antifa mob in downtown austin and ended up shooting some 'tard that started to point an AK in his window? That was the definition of a justifiable shoot if there ever was one.

He languished forgotten in jail after the Soros DA prosecuted him. He was just recently released but the greasy rat DA went after him again on new charges.

Age certainly gives one a different perspective on this world we live in. I've seen more than too much of I. Frankly, I wont miss this place for a nano second.
 
Just an opinion- but from I've researched in the top three or so companies/products advertising/offering CCW liability insurance... frankly I've been underwhelmed myself.

Some might be great (but keep an eye out for where promises 'fell through'). As for me- I'm of the opinion that if someone would be concerned about having legal representation at the ready-they'd be best served having a local defense attorney on retainer (which I think would be a lot cheaper and more effective in the long run).

Just my two cents on the topic.
