Educating members about their gun rights is a prime goal of the program.

Houston, TX – Texas & U.S. Law Shield, the nation's leading firearms legal defense program, has recently expanded its legal-education programs to more than 300 sessions a month in 10 states.

"Our attorneys and law-enforcement consultants are presenting dozens of educational events every week in the states where we offer membership," said Kirk W. Evans, President of Texas & U.S. Law Shield. "The topics are state-based legal use of force discussions — when are members legally justified in using force or deadly force to protect themselves, others, and property — as well as practical advice on how to survive a mass-shooting, what to expect when approached by law enforcement, whether you can be sued civilly if you have to use your firearm, and many other topics."

Evans said all events are listed on GunLawSeminar.com, which is updated several times daily.

"For example," Evans said, "in our home state of Texas, we recently staged seven events on the same day, November 7, in practically every corner of the state. We had Gun Law Seminars and Workshops in El Paso, Lubbock, Wylie, Orange, Fort Worth, Houston, and Georgetown."

"And in both settings, Independent Program Attorneys and Law Enforcement speakers take the time to answer attendees' questions about the law," Evans said. "There is so much misinformation about the legal use of force we hear at nearly every session. I would wager that every Independent Program Attorney has heard some variation of the 'If I shoot someone outside my home should I drag them inside?' question. And, by the way, no you shouldn't." Independent Program Attorneys are thoroughly experienced in their home state's gun laws, and they get as far down into the weeds as attendees want to go.

For more than 23 years, Evans practiced law as a civil law trial attorney, and he's seen attendees' eyes opened repeatedly when he explains that, even if the criminal side of the law doesn't prosecute the self-defense shooter, he can still be sued because the standards of proof are different.

"That's the value we offer," Evans said. "If you pay out of pocket for a criminal defense attorney, that's likely thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, just for capable representation. Then a civil action adds more money. Most folks could not afford anywhere near these types of legal fees. But our members don't incur any additional attorneys' fees from the start of a case through appeals, if it comes to that."

And, Evans points out that education also gives law-abiding gun owners peace of mind. He said, "If folks attend to stay current on the changes in the law, they're more able to make the right decision about how, and when, to protect themselves when the chips are down. It's so much better to be armed and educated, than just armed."

Texas & U.S. Law Shield has more than 210,000 active members and operates in twelve states. Based in Houston, the companies currently offer memberships for their Firearms Legal Defense Program in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Texas & U.S. Law Shield members receive access to a wealth of industry information and legal protection through an extensive network of seminars, workshops, books, newsletters, social media, and mainstream radio and television interviews. Also, members have non-emergency access to Independent Program Attorneys to answer any questions about their gun rights or other self-defense issues — all for as little as $10.95 a month. Members can elect to carry Multi-State coverage for a nominal fee, which protects them in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as bail bond and expert witness coverage, and minor children coverage. Legal-use-of-force interviews can be coordinated with Independent Program Attorneys in each state on request.
