Mods: This could be filed under "Strategies & Tactics" as well as "Legal and Political". I went with Legal, but feel free...
My wife and I both have carry permits and generally either have at least one firearm within reach or on our persons all the time.
I've always thought it would be smart to have an attorney at the ready (someone already "picked out" with a 24 hour contact number) should there ever be a situation where one of our weapons are used in a self-defense scenario.
I can't seem to find any attorneys who "specialize" in personal defense/deadly force situations. I've inquired with a number of firms which handle criminal cases (online forms) and never heard anything back.
I don't need a consultation, although I'm open to it. I'm already familiar with the deadly force laws in my state. I'd just like to know I have someone to call and hope to never need to call them.
I'm planning on calling the NRA tomorrow to see if they have a referral program. Failing that, I'll try Grass Roots North Carolina... but I suspect they'll want me to join up first. Perhaps some of the concealed carry instructors or a local gun range could recommend someone.
Does anyone already have an attorney picked out?
Carrying and/or having weapons in the home is a big responsibility with very serious potential consequences.
I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid or responsible.
