I am, and have been, a LegalShield customer for a while. What Jumping Frog said about it being more important to have a good criminal defense attorney than a 2nd Amendment specialist makes sense to me. I have a regular MD who is an internist. If I need a cardiologist or a nephrologist, he'll send me to one, but neither a cardiologist nor a nephrologist would be my primary choice for my regular run of the mill care.

So it is with attorneys, and protecting yourself from prosecution. When arguing in court for the right to keep and bear arms (Heller and McDonald), then you want a 2nd Amendment specialist, and you're likely arguing in front of SCOTUS. But if you are charged with having used your firearm in a criminal way, then you want a criminal defense lawyer......and that is far and away the most likely scenario any of us will face for having used our guns......because we've already established our right to keep and bear arms via the CHL application process. You haven't broken the law by carrying your gun. You've broken it, in the prosecutor's opinion, for using deadly force when deadly force was not justified. It may as well have been a club or a knife that you used, and so the 2nd Amendment really isn't the issue.
