Gun owners know better than most that the unthinkable can sometimes happen—that knowledge is often a part of why they've chosen to own firearms in the first place. But one facet that's not often considered is what happens after a shot has been fired in self-defense. Even if your actions were perfectly legal and within the scope of the law, you could wind up facing legal issues—there's just no way to know how a situation may be viewed by the authorities. Now, though, there is a way to be ready for it: Second Call Defense.

Second Call Defense provides comprehensive legal and financial resources to those who find themselves dealing with the aftermath of having to use a firearm in self-defense.

Depending on your membership level, your benefits can include:

• Training & Education

• Immediate Attorney Retainer
• Immediate Cash for Bond
• Compensation While in Court
• Psychological Support
• Accidental Shooting Protection
