• With over $3,500,000 in our Legal Defense Fund now, and after an assessment that your incident constituted a legitimate act of self defense, the Network will work with you and your attorney (paid for by the Network), to assure the best possible legal defense. This includes supplying bail money if necessary, hiring experts and investigators, and other consultants if required to bring your story to the jury.

Updates are posted regularly at https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/join/fight-against-wa-insurance-commissioner as the case goes forward. If you wish to provide feedback, we recommend sharing your thoughts with the Insurance Commissioner https://www.insurance.wa.gov/connect-us.

Confused by all the post-incident protection plans?

Armed citizens have a number of options for support after self defense. These include the Network's membership benefits, as well as competitors selling insurance, prepaid legal service plans and hybrids. Frequently callers ask how they can choose. While we can't speak to what other businesses do, we are happy to provide an indepth review of the Network’s membership benefits.
