Know Your Rights as a Law-Abiding Gun Owner
Politicians need to justify their existence. That means they are constantly writing new laws, even when none are needed. For example, in California, corrupt Democratic Gov. Newsom signed 15 new gun laws last month, none of which will actually do much to cut crime (but these statutes will create problems for law-abiding gun owners). With each passing year, it gets more difficult to comply with all the new gun laws. With legal requirements constantly in flux, it can be difficult for gun owners to keep track of their responsibilities under state and federal law. Thankfully, USLawshield.com has prepared summaries of recent federal and state legislation.
In addition, U.S. Law Shield has created a series of videos that spotlight important legal issues (and situational challenges) gun owners can face. Here are five Law Shield videos covering important legal matters for firearms owners.
