Back when I took my CC class, the company conducting the course offered an upgraded option that included a live fire session and a lawyer present to field legal questions during the classroom portion. I did not choose the upgraded class though.
These days however, I've noticed that some concealed carry classes are really getting packaged together somewhat like a timeshare presentation or a professional wealth conference; products and services are being presented left and right. I won't immediately say that this is a bad thing either. Maybe it's just another way to cover all the bases. Has anyone here noticed a similar trend in advanced training courses? I haven't yet.
Most recently, I learned that Legal Shield is being promoted within today's CC classes and it is supposedly being eagerly accepted, so I wonder if this is really a reasonable tool to consider. In an effort to protect me and mine, I'd like to know if there really is a use for this company's services. I would love to hear the personal opinions of any the many attorneys who post here.
Since the service is being pitched to people acquiring their carry permits, you'd assume that the attorneys who are being contracted by Legal Shield are at least knowledgeable that their service is being sold on the topic of self defense, and at most they have some experience in that regard. And I guess it goes beyond just having a law firm's number if ever you had to defend yourself with any type of force.
Honestly, the main reason I even considered their service is because of the identity theft protection they offer to an entire household. I keep getting the feeling that ID theft is a 'when', not 'if' incursion so I began considering protection against that alone. But besides that, I don't know if a service like Legal Shield is at all worthwhile or necessary. If I could be permitted to take the subject of protecting me and mine outside of self defense, we all know how easy it is to become the target of a law suit for anything these days. In that regard, is a "legal service" offering us anything at all beneficial over just finding counsel after the fact?
This one company is getting their foot in the door with employee/employer plans and I personally know an attorney who signed up for their services. Now that they are chasing the carry crowd, I'm wondering if there really is a benefit to it.
