Castle Doctrine – Defending Your Home as a Responsible Gun Owner

By. Criminal Defense Attorney Emma K. Wittmann

Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm Criminal Defense Attorney, Emma K. Wittmann, discusses the Castle Doctrine in her new blog she wrote for Women Gun Owners Association of America.

Castle Doctrine laws allow individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend themselves, others, or their property within their home against an intruder, without needing to retreat. While all 50 states have some form of Castle Doctrine, the specifics vary significantly, with some states extending protections to vehicles and workplaces, while others only cover the home.

After researching events of refused coverage by USCCA (I should have read the fine print to begin with), who obviously has decided they're judge and jury, and want's you to pay them back if you loose your case, I dumped them and happy to be here instead. People please beware of USCCA.

Our team is committed to providing reliable and trustworthy services to our members, and we are pleased to hear we have earned your confidence and trust.

A small group of us recently signed up for a group membership with Attorneys on Retainer, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. James Belcher was incredibly helpful—he walked us through the process, answered every question, and got us a fantastic group rate. His support made everything smooth and stress-free.

AOR stands out in a big way. As individuals choosing to exercise our Second Amendment rights and look out for one another, it’s crucial to have real legal protection—especially in more tyrannical states like New Jersey. One of the biggest selling points for us was that AOR now includes coverage for red flag laws, which is a huge deal here.

The peace of mind that comes with being able to call an attorney directly, without worrying about exclusions or fine print, is invaluable. AOR doesn’t make you jump through hoops or hope your case is “perfect” enough for coverage. They’re straightforward, committed, and reliable.

If you’re a gun owner—especially in a state where the laws seem designed to trip you up—get this coverage. You won’t find anything else like it.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review, Vicky! We're honored that you and your group chose Attorneys On Retainer, and we're thrilled to hear that James provided a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish. If you ever need anything or have questions down the road, we're just a call away. Thank you again for your trust and support!
