Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network (ACLDN)?

The Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network (ACLDN) is a service that provides legal assistance and representation for individuals involved in self-defense situations, particularly those involving firearms. They help members navigate the complex legal aftermath, connect them with specialized attorneys, and ensure they are not taken advantage of by the legal system.

What are the immediate steps to take after a self-defense shooting?

After a self-defense shooting, especially in public, it's critical to immediately call 911 and identify yourself as the complainant and victim. Do not leave the scene, as this can be misconstrued as guilt. The goal is to ensure law enforcement perceives you as the victim, not the perpetrator.

Can a prosecutor still charge someone after a justified self-defense shooting?

Yes, prosecutors may still pursue charges, such as manslaughter, even in cases of justified self-defense. They might attempt to find grounds for prosecution. Having legal defense and demonstrating preparedness can signal to prosecutors that the individual is not an easy target for charges, potentially influencing their decision.

How does legal training help in a self-defense case?

Legal training and resources, like those provided by the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network, can help defendants prepare their case. This includes understanding how to present evidence, such as videos, to a jury, allowing them to see the situation from the defendant's perspective and understand the assessment of Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy (AOJ).
