A violent crime takes place every 27.1 seconds, a robbery every 1.5 minutes and a burglary every 16.4 seconds in the United States, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report for 2013. The Pew Research Center reports that there are 270 million to 310 million guns in the United States, and more than a third of Americans have a gun in their household. Firearms Legal Protection, LLC a member company of Risk Theory, LLC, launched this week in Dallas to offer prepaid legal services to U.S. gun owners.
Americans are accustomed to insurance – life insurance, car insurance, homeowner’s insurance; however, many do not know about legal protection for firearm owners. They are finding that legal services for firearms owners are becoming as important as proper training and maintenance of those firearms. Responsibly-armed citizens in self-defense incidents are investigated by police to determine whether the actions of the citizen were justified and are often arrested while this investigation unfolds. The assistance of well-qualified lawyers is imperative to streamline and guide the process from arrest to bail and additional representation in legal proceedings, criminal or civil, in the least traumatizing way.
Serving Texas, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia initially, Firearms Legal Protection provides members with 100 percent payment of attorney fees when a firearm is used lawfully for self-defense in protection of oneself, family or property. With one of the industry’s most affordable monthly fees, Firearms Legal Protection packages are unparalleled in the scope of benefits afforded to their members, including:
• Bail Bond Coverage of $5,000 for a bail bond up to $50,000
• Multistate Coverage
• Expert Witness/Investigator-Fee Coverage
• Lost Wages Reimbursement
• Firearm Confiscation Reimbursement
• Incident Scene Clean-Up Fee Reimbursement
“We need to inform citizens of the rights and series of events that may unfold after a defensive shooting and remind them of how important it is to be a Firearms Legal Protection card-carrying gun owner,” says Firearms Legal Protection CEO Susan Jeffus. “You are the victim, but given our judicial process, it’s sometimes hard to tell. The legal defense attorneys at Firearms Legal Protection specialize in this type of law and will protect you, your financial assets and your liberty.”
She continues, “Backed by our vast network of experienced attorneys, our members are equipped with service and support for every second after the trigger is pulled. We protect those who protect themselves.”
According to Armed Citizen, studies indicate that firearms are used over 2 million times a year for personal protection and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances. Firearms Legal Protection provides the ultimate protection for such incidents.
The company has plans to cover all U.S. states in 2015.
