If you could ask every provider on that stage one question, what would it be?

Even law enforcement officers can find themselves looking down the barrel of a gun after defending themselves.

Alfred Brown, a Federal Investigator, thought his background would protect him when he had to use a fi***rm to stop a violent, attack from a family member. Instead, he experienced the harsh reality of self-defense: having a gun pointed at his head by responding officers, being aggressively handcuffed, and facing booking and jail time.

Watch the full story to learn why Alfred says his very second phone call after 911 should have been to Attorneys On Retainer: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPXy4RtXtNk2G2Y8xOSKbtGB3kDx2OeWz&si=We4cCqWreM7m9zbu

What is the MOST dangerous tool the federal government uses to control everyday Americans?

We had an amazing time hosting former SWAT officer and 2A advocate Jared Yanis (Guns & Gadgets) at the law firm! In our latest video, we dive deep into the one constitutional loophole that fuels endless federal power: The Commerce Clause.

If you don't understand how the government weaponizes this clause, you don't understand what's fueling their massive overreach. It’s not just about the 2nd Amendment, this affects EVERYTHING.

Drop a comment below: Do you think the Supreme Court will finally step in and limit federal power this year?

Attorney Joey Hamby represented Attorneys On Retainer at GRPC 2026 in Dallas this past weekend.

In its 41st year, GRPC still brings together the attorneys, advocates, and organizations doing the actual work on the Second Amendment. Court cases, state legislation, and the practical realities gun owners are facing right now.

These conversations matter, and so do the people having them. Thank you to the Second Amendment Foundation and CCRKBA for putting it on, and to everyone who stopped by to talk with Joey.

The wrong words after a self-defense shooting could cost you decades of your life.

A recent USCCA promotional guide claims to give gun owners the “exact words” to say to 911 and responding officers after a shooting.

We strongly disagree with that approach.

After more than 30 years of criminal defense experience, Attorneys Andy Marcantel, Marc J. Victor, and Joey Hamby explain why following a cookie-cutter script in the most stressful moments of your life could seriously damage your defense.

In this video, we break down:

The 911 Trap - Why saying too much while your memory is still distorted by stress can lock you into details you may later realize were incomplete or wrong.

The “Good Shoot” Myth - Why assuming the facts are perfectly in your favor can lead you to make damaging statements.

The Evidence Mistake - Why trying to investigate the scene or direct police toward evidence may create problems for your defense.

The Lawyer Problem - Why saying “I intend to cooperate fully” may undermine what you’re actually trying to accomplish when you want legal counsel.

After a self-defense shooting, your goal isn’t to give the perfect speech.

Your goal is to avoid making your defense attorney’s job harder.

Watch the full breakdown before you ever need this information.

SHARE this with every responsible gun owner and concealed carrier you know. One conversation after a shooting can change the rest of your life.

GOOD SHOOT / BAD SHOOT? We called the Florida Walmart

A viral clip of a deadly dispute over a Florida Walmart parking space completely divided the internet, but it didn’t tell the whole story.

Attorneys Andrew Marcantel and Joey Hamby are breaking down the newly released, multi-angle surveillance footage that the public didn’t see. We also take a deep dive into the prosecutor’s highly debated 22-page "Stand Your Ground" immunity memo to see exactly why all charges were dropped.

Was this a clear-cut case of self-defense or an unjustified use of force? Watch the full breakdown to see how the law defines an "aggressor" when a mundane dispute turns deadly.

Drop your thoughts in the comments after you watch: Did the prosecutor make the right call?

We're heading to Petaluma this October, and we hope you'll join us.

On Saturday, October 17, Attorneys On Retainer will take part in AAO's Great 2A Insurance Town Hall. Six organizations in the fi***rm legal protection space will be on one stage, taking unscripted questions straight from the audience.

We said yes because these conversations are hard to have in an ad.

AOR isn't typical insurance. We are 100% run by a law firm. That's a real distinction, and it's a lot easier to explain in person than in a headline. So we'll be there to walk through it with anyone who's curious, and to answer the questions that pricing pages never quite cover.

Bring your questions. What happens in the first hour? Who picks up the phone? What's included and what isn't, in plain English.

Saturday, October 17
1:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Veterans Building, Petaluma, CA
Free and open to the public.

Can't make the drive? The full town hall streams live nationwide. Stay tuned.

Twenty five years ago today.

We remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and those who served our country in the years that followed.

That terrible day brought Americans together beyond politics or party, united simply as Americans.

To all who served, to those we lost, and to their families, thank you. We will never forget.

God bless America. United We Stand.

25 years after September 11, we remember the lives lost, the heroes...
