## Resource

Dear shooter, imagine the unthinkable. You actually enter the moment when you have to discharge your firearm to defend your life. Now fast forward two years, and you walk out of the courtroom having been cleared of all charges, even if you carry self-defense insurance. You are free, but likely financially devastated. This episode examines a Wyoming bill that would require counties to reimburse people cleared after lawful self-defense, explores the legal gray areas around prosecution and acquittal, and discusses wider related topics—from overzealous prosecutors and range closures to wildlife policy and political maneuvering. https://10thwhiskey.com/ Enter dearshooter at checkout for 15% off https://www.lucidoptics.com/ https://www.wyotac.com/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed here are our own and may not represent those of the companies we represent, or any entity affiliated to it.
