If you are a gun owner with thoughts of protecting yourself and/or your family, getting a concealed carry permit is an important task for you. As a Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer and Florida gun rights lawyer, I can tell you that any situation where a gun is involved is one that is likely to be highly scrutinized and taken really seriously. This applies to situations where crimes are committed with guns, especially if there is a shooting. So why does this matter to people that lawfully own guns and use them for good? Well, even shooting your gun in self defense can lead to you being in hot water under some circumstances. Having a concealed carry permit will usually remove some of the questions from the minds of law enforcement when they conduct their investigation.
Calling a gun rights lawyer should be the next call made after shooting your gun. You should speak with an attorney prior to providing a statement to police. In my experience, this annoys law enforcement a little, but I believe it’s worth protecting your future. At the Law Office of David M. Goldman, PLLC, we have the necessary experience and knowledge to help in these situations.
