Fellow NRA Supporter, With summer drawing to a close, we Americans are now less 100 days from the most important election cycle in modern history.

9 ways your firearm can be attacked in court

3:00pm Thursday, September 01, 2016

To most level-headed people, a gun is a gun is a gun. So the equipment you own or carry shouldn't matter if you find yourself in court after a self defense shooting. After all, when your life is on the line, you're going to use whatever weapon you have at hand. But as crazy as it seems, some prosecutors will do anything to get a conviction, and that includes trying to turn a jury against you...

by Dean Rieck
