Citizens Defense Network

Preparation to survive the second attack—the legal aftermath of a justifiable defense shooting—is a vital element in your defense preparations. Ignore it at your own peril.

In general we get a gun and a ccw license, and heck we even go to the range once in awhile, but have you ever looked at that hunk of steel or polymer, and really ask yourself, if I ever use this thing then what?

Hopefully you have made a commitment to prepare train with your firearm, for a fight you hope never comes your way.

But are you also training, and preparing for the legal fight after the smoke has cleared?

The fight itself will likely last seconds, but the legal confrontation could last years.

To quote Robert Burka of: Ohio Concealed Carry Defense Services, LLC

The decision to carry a concealed handgun requires you to assume a great deal of responsibility. If you decide to accept that responsibility, there are several additional items you should consider.

First, you should obtain current and continuing training from a qualified instructor in the safe handling and use of your handgun. Contact us directly for a list of qualified instructors we have met and worked with over the past year.

Second, you should search for and obtain a working knowledge of what the law says and how the legal system operates in the event of a use of force situation. With knowledge and a realistic understanding of how the legal system works you can reduce your chances of a severely negative legal outcome.


Some Very Good advice here to get you started.
Combat Rings

For your flashlight

One need I found was, what do you do with the light, if you say have to reload?

As Clint Smith says "When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket... If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy...and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."

My solution here
Koala's first, then Humans

Interesting that the Port Arthur shooter that lead to Austraila's Gun Ban was a long time sicko before he shot anybody. But I suppose as good as an excuse as any to disarm the people.

Ok let me get this straight



Trijicon puts a bible reference on their product, which our soldiers use, is construed and twisted that we are defacto "Christian Crusaders invading Islam"



While we must have the up most respect for their Quran, and even rumors that we don't sparks riots and protests



What next soldiers will be forbidden to carry bibles or wear crosses or carry greenbacks?, as it would allow Muslim extremists to claim that the U.S. is waging a holy war in Iraq and Afghanistan?.



I really believe that 99% + of the Muslim community are likely good honest people, but they have done nothing to clean up the mess.

The Twin Towers, the Cole, the embassies, along with other numerous attacks on America, brought our military to them, nothing else.

I'd say in this round of the conflict we blinked, and they didn't have to do anything at all.
We are so worried that a reference to the bible will be used as a recruiting tool, might they just as well use an American quarter with "IN God We Trust" as one?

We are not after the people of Islam, we are after the people who misuse the the word of Islam, in an effort to hurt or destroy us. We will never defeat them by giving up on our principles, on our beliefs, we will only defeat them by tracking them down and killing them.

This is a war that we can not compromise, or coddle the enemy, they see that as weakness, and our weakness is what they seek to exploit. Remember history folks, compromise led to WWII. You win wars by being harder than your enemy, and making their cost to fight us higher than they want to pay. War is not civilised ask any veteran. to quote General William T Sherman: “War is at its best barbarism.”

"War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want."- General William T. Sherman, & "War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over."

We are not going to win the war on terror, by trying to appease the terrorists

Wake Up Call

Haiti

I'm really amazed at how fast, and how well the response is going, when you consider the logistics involved it's pretty impressive

You are on your own, how prepared are you?
Food, water, medical, etc

Yes it takes time, effort, and money, but we are seeing what happens when you are completely unprepared, we saw it during Katrina here.

Earthquakes, Blizzards, Floods happen so are you ready just in case?

You should have everything you need to stay alive for at least 72 hours, and a week to 10 days is even better.

Think about splitting up caches, in case one is damaged, buried or destroyed

Network leave some stuff at a friends, etc.

We carry guns because we know the police can't always be there, that also means emt's, rescue teams, etc can't always be there. Are you going to be prepared until help gets there?
