WHO LEGALLY INHERITS YOUR GUNS

Even before purchasing a firearm every law abiding citizen MUST know the law. The laws governing self-defense vary from state to state. The two main legal doctrines affecting concealed carriers are so-called “stand your ground” and “duty to retreat.”  A common thread is that a person has no duty to retreat before using force if he or she is lawfully present and facing an imminent deadly threat. The Castle Doctrine applies in a home-defense situation, allows an individual to use deadly force without retreating in his or her own home. Even in the comfort and relative safety of your own home, deadly force is a last resort. As a concealed carrier in public, you should ONLY draw a weapon when you are confronted with an immediate and unavoidable threat. You must be able to demonstrate that a reasonable person (juror) would agree that you or another person is about to suffer serious bodily harm or death, you must be sure that no option to escape exists and that the threat was imminent.

So many factors go into the “best-gun” equation, and those factors vary dramatically different from person to person. I always try to help them answer three main questions. What might fit their hands best and feel good? What is a good, reliable firearm within their price range? How can we help them overcome fear and build confidence The only way to pick your firearm is go to a gun store and put them in your hand. Maybe watch a quick YouTube on proper grip before you go. Handguns today range in price from $400 to over $3000 so you need to narrow the field to even the brand you prefer. Then focus on the model. Are you going to carry concealed? You need to be looking at compact or even sub-compact sized models. You choice of ammunition would most likely be 380 or 9mm. Before purchasing the firearm we recommend you take an online Texas LTC (license to carry class). There are strict laws that must be obeyed regarding the use of deadly force. We want you to keep your money and your guns rather than use it up on attorney fees to defend yourself in court. You should understand the potential consequence and have a better understanding of actually avoiding a conflict.
