You and I are the same…
We're responsible gun owners who follow the law. We're the good guys who take self-defense seriously.
We're nothing like those criminals you see on the news. We play by the book, and assume that’s all that matters.
But here's the scary truth:
Even when good guys like us do everything right in a self-defense situation, we often get treated WORSE than the criminals we're protecting ourselves from.
Just ask John from Kentucky.
He's one of us … a 23-year Army veteran who literally worked at Fort Knox.
One night, trouble came to John's door.
His daughter's boyfriend - a convicted felon - came into his home and started a violent confrontation.
The 6'2" intruder, fueled by alcohol and rage, was screaming death threats to John.
Worse yet, he had forced his way upstairs where John's grandkids were trapped in a room — a room John knew contained a loaded gun.
John did everything by the book:
- Had his wife call 911 first
- Retrieved his securely-stored SIG P365
- Kept his weapon at low-ready, never pointing it at anyone
-
Followed every police command when they arrived
But the police STILL arrested him.
They charged him with four felonies and threw him in a jail cell with 25 criminals - all for protecting his wife and grandkids in his own home.
Thankfully, John had joined the USCCA before this happened. With one phone call from jail he was:
-
Out by 6 AM the next morning
- Directly connected with a defense attorney
- Had coverage⁰ for his defense expenses
- Proved innocent in 3 months
Three months later, all charges were dropped. John was FREE.
