News reports make it clear that crime and robbery is something that everyone in Nashville, middle Tennessee and the entire state have to consider as a real risk to themselves, their families, their businesses, and their other involvements – including church.
There are things you can do to help you prepare to defend yourself and your family and friends. There are also risks involved that could arise if you are forced to defend yourself and some third person is injured or property damaged. These risks are real but they are also of a nature that you can take action to minimize the consequences if something goes wrong.
Part of my law practice includes consulting with individuals and businesses on their legal rights regarding self-defense and defense of property interest. This consulting can include examining potential liability issues and how to minimize them. The consulting can also review the “felony traps” that arise under Tennessee law as a result of being otherwise legally armed for self defense.
I have provided these services to individuals and also to businesses, nonprofits, housing associations and churches. If you could benefit from getting information on what you or your organization might consider as it prepares to defend itself and its members, please feel free to contact us for a consult.
