Excellent Advice.

LawDog has a post up full of excellent advice for those of us who choose "violent but protective" against "violent and predatory" in Meditations on the Aftermath:

First off -- and I cannot stress this enough -- anyone who carries, or owns, a gun or a knife needs to know a lawyer.

First thing tomorrow -- or as early as possible -- find yourself a lawyer who is familiar with self-defense cases and the weapons laws of your state.

Now, folks. Not at 0-dark-thirty with a critter bleeding out on your carpet and red-and-blue lightbars screaming down the road.

Um, yeah. I think I ought to do that.

Read the whole thing. There is much more crunchy goodness.

And I have got to update the blogroll.
