What Happens If I Defend Myself With My Gun in a Gun-Free Zone?
The simple answer is that anytime you are carrying your gun concealed in a place that you should not be carrying that weapon, you are opening yourself up to legal consequences.
When it comes to defending yourself with your firearm in a gun-free zone, you will be dealing with the legal consequences of not only using a firearm in self-defense but also the penalties of carrying that gun somewhere that you shouldn’t have been.
You and your family will need to deal with the effects of your actions one way or the other, and that is something that you need to think about ahead of time as a responsibly armed American.
