I just checked this week with a criminal defense attorney to keep on retainer in case I am abused by the system if I am forced to defend myself. That's one of the suggestions of the USCCA, that you already have an attorney on retainer. The one suggested by a friend that deals with the courts a lot, wanted $2,500.00 a year. Granted he was one of the best in the business, but I think I'm going to keep looking for shark that's not quite that hungry.
As for $125,000 in a legal defense fund, 2 or 3 cases could eat that up in a hurry.
My level of USCCA self defense shield offers $50,000 for a criminal case attorney, $100,000 for a civil case (They provide the attorney in civil matters), with additional money available on a case by case basis.
As of last June the USCCA had over 15,000 members.
Thanks for posting that link Old Lincoln. That should be required reading for anyone owning a gun for self defense. "What Every Gun Owner Needs to Know About Self-Defense Law"
I ended up with the USCCA because in my opinion they offered the better legal defense. You'll have to be your own judge on that matter.
