They sure had an interesting pitch at the show.

Did you ever get to make the phone call and compare it to what you have?

Cyphur, I've talked to Rick Mackey, the President of CHL Protection Program and got some clarifications on their coverage. I have an email into Prepaid Legal asking them about how they handle CHL incidents and how their coverage compares. Honestly, I'm leaning toward CHL Protection because they specialize in CHLs. If I'm involved in an incident, I want an attorney that is friendly to CHL holders. I'd think I stand a better chance of that with CHL Protection.

I'll let you know what I learn.

CHL protection program only covers you up to grand jury stuff. If the grand jury decides to indite, then you're on the hook for everything after that.
Remember, you or your lawyer don't have the right to be present at a grand jury, so I feel it's only of limited usefulness.

True enough about the Grand Jury. But their goal is to get the charges dropped in truly justified self defense cases. If one is indicted, then the case probably is not going to be self defense.

I think it would be beneficial to have someone to call and be there to represent your interests if you were arrested for some reason. CHL Protection Plan has a couple of examples on their website of interest that don't even involve the discharge of a weapon and the CHL holder was arrested.

My PrePaid Legal Plan will provide up to 300 hours of criminal defense at no charge to me should I need it. I see the plans as complimentary to each other. I'm going to sign up for CHL Protection in addition to my prepaid legal.

I think I would prefer to have a regular attorney if I can find one in this area. sj

A lot of attorneys hold CHLs and understand the issues. Finding one near you should not be too hard. You could check with gun shop owners, pastors (they know everybody, and many of them pack as well), and businessmen. When you get some names, look them up at the local library's copy of Martindale and Hubbell, and see if they're what you need.

If you are looking for an attorney in your area with a CHL, then ask a CHL instructor in your area. Even attorneys have to take the class.
