Connect With and Share The Self-Defense Defense Facebook Page

Posted on by

The lawyers at Michel & Associates, P.C. are proud to announce the launch of a new Facebook page, The Self-Defense Defense, to compliment the other informative websites and Facebook page we currently host: www.michellawyers.com, www.CalGunLaws.com and the Michel & Associates/CalGunLaws Facebook page.

The Self-Defense Defense Facebook page curates news stories from across the country, and sometimes the world, about firearms owners using guns to defend themselves, their families, and their property. Recent high profile incidents involving firearms used in self defense make the launch of The Self-Defense Defense particularly timely. The real life examples of guns saving lives recounted on The Self-Defense Defense can be used by civil rights activists, firearms trainers, and others as evidence of what many of us already know, firearms are used many more times to prevent a crime from happening than they are mis-used by criminals. In a nutshell, firearms have social utility as tools of deterrence and protection. Usually, firearms stop a crime from happening without a shot being fired. The articles posted on The Self-Defense Defense also tell a cautionary tale of how using deadly force can result in legal troubles and be emotionally and financially draining.

Please go to The Self-Defense Defense Facebook page and the Michel & Associates/CalGunLaws Facebook page and “like” us, “share” us with your friends, trainers you may know, and anyone else you think may be interested. Continue reading →

Anti-gun legislators remain obsessed with their belief that they know what is best for society and that they should dictate how other people live their lives! Well… it’s time to identify the bad guys…

To prevent anti-firearms bills from becoming law, your CRPA has successfully stopped legislation before it reached the Governor’s desk. That is the sole objective of CRPA’s Legislative Program, to stop bad legislation before the Legislature can pass it! Every day your CRPA’s full-time Lobbyist, Tom Pedersen, communicates with anti-gun legislators and their staff, using every weapon in his arsenal to convince these ill-informed politicos to stand up for the citizens’ constitutional freedoms – rather than trampling on them! At the same time, your CRPA Counsel for Litigation and Local Affairs, Chuck Michel, monitors local legislative efforts and files appropriate litigation against the state, counties, or cities that pass unconstitutional or illegal ill-conceived local gun control laws. Tom and Chuck represent CRPA’s lethal right cross and damaging left jab. Continue reading →
