Texas Law Shield Legal Defense Program

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Rod

Texas Law Shield is a firearms legal defense program developed by Walker, Rice & Wisdom, P.C., Attorneys at Law.

They are a Texas based law firm that’s developed a nationwide program for all lawful gun owners.  As soon as you pay the monthly or annual retainer, you become a client.

If you are ever forced to defend yourself or your property, Texas Law Shield will defend your freedom for no additional attorney fees.  They will represent you from the moment you call the special attorney-answered 24/7 hotline.  They will defend you through the police investigation, the grand jury proceeding, and through trial (criminal and civil), for no additional fee.

The monthly retainer is only $10.95 per client, with annual programs for LTC holders and non-gun owners available as well.

I encourage every gun owner to give this program some serious thought.

What’s the meaning of “Go Heeled”?

The phrase “go heeled” is an old west term meaning “to carry a gun”.

Attention Current Military and Veterans!

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Rod

FotoFlexer_PhotoThe State of Texas waives the $40 Handgun License fee for members of the military (both active duty and reserve) and for those discharged within the past twelve months.  Veterans discharged over twelve months ago get it for $25.

This benefit greatly reduces the cost of obtaining a Texas Handgun License.  The only other costs involved are the class fee ($69 with the Go Heeled Military Discount) and the $10 fingerprinting fee.

Pass this on to the Vets in your life.  They deserve every perk they can get!

Regardless of your firearms use, be it recreational, hunting, or personal protection; safety is absolutely imperative.  The NRA teaches three fundamental rules for gun handling that need to be followed in all situations.

1.  Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

2.  Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

3.  Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
