Are your legal benefits insurance based or not????? I left uscca because their legal benefits are insurance based, and not good. Having an actual attorney available for my defense is the only way to go. Can you say this is what your organization does 100 percent.

Which "experts??"

Great interview. I’m checking out his podcast!

Doesn't this violate the Equal Protection Laws? Especially because it only applies to small businesses? Isn't the entire purpose invalid because it you make enough money to actually hide money to do "money laundering", then the corporation doesn't have to file the report to meet this unjust regulation?

Hopefully with Chevron doctrine being overturned this overreach will be struck down or clarified by congress. The federal agencies need to stay in their lanes and return to their statutory authority.

great conversation, thank you both

As an AOR member who dropped USCCA to switch, I appreciate you guys making this video. At least you went on the record, to make specifc points to clarify and defend your position. This is in stark contrast to USCCA, who publicly maintains their "innocence", if you will, without directly addressing criticism.

Are either of you criminal defense attorneys?

How is it a criminal act if you have not been convicted of a crime?

Wow!!👌 victor almost had me 😅

Long time member since 2015.

This is by far the best instructor I've ever been to. Wes's inthusiasm is real. I've taken his CCW course with a friend of mine. I also did his accuracy and speed course with the same friend. He said I could advance to his speed course after he was satisfied at our CCW course, but his class is packed with so much information it was worth the accuracy class first. He walked down the line and worked with each student's grip. In 15-30 minutes the groupings were significant. He used the lesson that he explained here. Where you remove your support hand and he replaces with his. He then pushes into your hand and has you equal the pressure. It is a simple and significant demonstration.

Most these situations fall into a gray area if any of these companies decide not to defend you it’s like you never had any defense. Your life is in their hands. and your money 💰

Excellent conversation!

It was great to speak with Gila Hayes, an extremely well-prepared interlocutor. Thanks for this opportunity!

Great job, Gila. So good to finally meet you in person in Dallas!

Thumbed Up, what a great conversation, so many good points made here. thank you for hosting & sharing this one

I can’t wait to join .

Oh please, only an idiot would pay you for services without a contract! You are just mad because you got caught!

It sounds like you dropped Attorneys for Freedom from your list over a misunderstanding. Your member called them as they tried to sell your member their program. They do defend non members at their full hourly rate. As a member of both ACLDN and AOR it's sad to see this but My wife and I will continue to remain a member of both programs.

Hi Mas, maybe you can do a video on police wearing body cams.? How it can changes the behavior of officers. That behavior being detrimental to the officer and his safety. For me, I act the same as I always did.

Prosecutors are going to use everything against you to win. They could say you wanted to kill someone or were looking for a fight because you took multiple training classes, or you modified your gun to make it “more deadly” or you own to many guns, you mist be looking for a fight. A defense attorney is going to use those same things to defend you. He is going to try to convince a jury that you took training classes to be more responsible with a gun. He could argue that you used hand loaded ammunition to insure that you had a round that was more likely to stop the bad guy without hurting bystanders. You used low flash powders to prevent loosing situational awareness and potentially shoot the wrong person. Point is that its a 2 way street. Anything can be used against you, but it also can be used to defend you. Personally i use factory ammo in my guns because im getting the performance I want. But if i thought i could do better by making my own i totally would. Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by six.

I did my homework and that is why I chose ACLDN for myself and my wife. I will renew next month! Thank you Marty and Gila Hayes!

My stress in court was as a juror. Our courthouse jury box held 12. There were 13 of us.(1 alternate) I was the only juror that wore a suit. I sat just to the right of the jury box. To my right was the defense attorney. To his right was the defendant. When the witness was asked to identify the perpetrator, she pointed to me! My first thought was to get up and go home, this isn't worth $11 a day. I didn't do anything but the wave of emotion was significant. I was just identified as a felon by this woman. It probably didn't help she was deaf and there was no interpreter. The defense attorney loved it of course.

Can i join ? Read a comment saying no more members??

How do ya become a member of your group

Having been introduced to Marty and ACLDN from the show "self defense" many years ago I reviewed the membership offered by ACLDN and compared to others which are insurance. What I like is ACLDN offers assistance in leu of a "legal" self-defense shooting for us law abiding citizens and not insurance who represent illegal situations. I also found the legal shooting experts on the board of ACLDN which is very impressive and another reason I chose ACLDN for my wife and I. Mr. Victor is playing old questionable marketing blame game with scare tactics to grow his own plan which, by the way is not insurance as cited on his website. Who would want to be represented by a marketer like that. We're ACLDN members and proud to be.

thank you for the insight

I get what this guy is saying about talking to the police but it’s not going to end well. It won’t end well because they are trained to ask the same question in different ways after giving a statement in order to make you doubt yourself so they can get that used against you. While it’s fine to give a brief overview, keep it at that by invoking your rights after you do that so that they at least know what they are working with. Don’t be trying to point out evidence or witnesses because in your state of mind you can’t remember anything well. If you have to be in jail for a few days that’s fine because that’s much better than doing life in prison if things don’t go in your favor. This guy is saying that it will always end in no charges or end in acquittal but that’s simply not true because there are people who are in prison who acted in legitimate self defense all because of the way the jury voted. While I think it’s a good idea to give a brief statement, it’s definitely a bad idea to go beyond that because whatever else you say is locked in and your attorney will have a more difficult time explaining your situation to a judge.

I like this format and info. Thank you.

Forget bank robbery. What if you are in a gun free zone and not even aware of it? You are committing a crime while resorting to self defense. What is you had 3 beers instead of 2? Same thing....

Do you teach how diabolical the 9 Step Reid Technique of Interrogation is? Do you teach how cops legally lie? Do you teach the tricks, tactics, and techniques used against legally armed citizens who are forced to use deadly force?

I have not seen Marc's video and I'm not intending to respond in that regard per se, but this did make me realize that an important distinction between a prepaid legal service and the ACLDN is that an attorney serving a client is OBLIGATED to represent that client whether they committed a crime or not, and that is not what the ACLDN is for. One might say it's not unlike having a vehicle service done every 5,000 miles compared to putting gas in the car; they're related but not at all the same things.

I am a long time member of ACLDN and always will be

Great insight. Thanks. The examples of things to not do are helpful. It's best to learn from someone's mistakes in an effort that you do not repeat them.

I was in the class in Phoenix earlier this year and I can state that it was outstanding. It gave me an insight that I never had before. The real beneficiaries of this course will be the students that I can pass this information on to. Thanks Mas and Marty.

Good presentation! Thanks

The prosecutor in my case made a motion to prevent me from claiming self defense simply to try and win by default. Obviously he failed, badly.

When we did DFI moot court at FAS in 2015, my most vivid memory was how the Platonically-ideal "friendly jury" composed entirely of long-time gun owners, veteran concealed-carriers and experienced firearms/CCW instructors, who had literally just completed nearly 40 hours of intensive education in deadly-force law, reviewed the facts of the case presented before them...and deadlocked. That should put to rest any remaining fantasies of trusting in an automatic acquittal by a "jury of your peers," when literally the best possible jury in the world can still deadlock, or even convict you...

Excellent presentation! I am glad that my research led me to join the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network!

I watched the entire dreck of a video and I found Victor to be smarmy, disingenuous and passive-aggressive.

There is no way to get around that there is a third party entity that will make the call on whether THEY think your incident was "justifiable self-defense". AOR's contract says YOU (the client) has to say that it was self-defense. Plus, you advise to talk to the police to tell them why you feared for your life, no legitimate criminal defense attorney would say that is good advice. Guys, I am sure that everyone there is good folks but it just seems dated.

GREAT job, Marty and Gila! I’ve been a proud member of ACLDN for 11 years, and I just recently re-upped for 3 more years. I will be a member for the rest of my life. I can NOT adequately state how much I appreciate the ACLDN program, its leadership, its educational offerings, its total and clear disclosure of what ACLDN is about and precisely what assistance it accords its members, its straightforward no-nonsense/no-fluff approach, and its exceptionally reasonable cost. Thank you, Marty & Gila and ACLDN crew, for standing tall and taking the high road on this matter. Godspeed!

Mass they’re deficient in many aspects and I wish be covered by an actual law firm….AOR!

ACLDN is by far the best and most straightforward honest group of people to work with!

Extremely informative. I will be sure to have this available to show students.

Thank you for the time you took to respond. And I’m a member.

I did the research before becoming a member of ACLDN. I am a proud member of this great organization who continues to be forthcoming and transparent.

I for one appreciate the straightforward approach without all the fluff to keep the annual dues to a reasonable amount. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏼

I remember Tim at USCCA said the same thing "Lies and half-truths" When all Marc did was read the contract. Now you are saying the same thing when all he did was read (since you have no contract) what was on your website. I guess if it's lies and half-truths, it's lies and half-truths on your website. I saw both videos, I don't see any lies or half-truths.
