The Loudest Voice in America Is Fighting for Your Gun Rights
Mark Walters and Armed American Radio were named one of the “top 100 most important radio talk show hosts in America” for 2025 by Talkers Magazine, the Bible of Talk Radio and New Talk Media.

“If you carry a gun you do so knowing that bad things can happen and you want to be prepared. But are you prepared for the aftermath of a self-defense shooting if the unthinkable happens to YOU? If you aren’t an AOR member than the answer is NO. You’ve already made the important decision to protect yourself and your family from harm, now protect yourself with a team of self-defense attorneys! If you carry a gun, YOU MUST have this legal protection. The same I have for myself and my family. JUST DO IT!”
— Mark Walters, Armed American Radio
If you’ve heard Mark Walters talk about Attorneys On Retainer (AOR) on the radio, you might understand why he endorses us. Mark strongly supports personal freedom and Second Amendment rights, values we champion and defend every day in courts across America.
If you carry a firearm for self-defense, you know that being physically prepared is essential. However, legal protection is just as vital as physical readiness. After a self-defense incident, the fight isn’t over; it simply moves to the courtroom.
Law enforcement might question your intent. Prosecutors could challenge your justification. The media might distort the facts. Without proper legal representation, your freedom, finances, and future are all at risk.
That’s where AOR steps in. Unlike self-defense programs supported by traditional insurance, our program is backed by a reputable law firm, Attorneys For Freedom (AFF). We are the only law firm in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending members who act in self-defense. With AOR, you won’t have to face the legal system alone.
What’s The Attorneys On Retainer Program?
AOR is a self-defense protection program that offers direct access to experienced criminal defense attorneys who are ready to defend you before you ever need to use your firearm or any other weapon in self-defense. AOR is designed for responsible gun owners, concealed carriers, or anyone who believes in their right to self-defense.
Unlike self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance, AOR doesn’t deny coverage or hide behind fine print. If your case meets our three established criteria and you assert self-defense or defense of another in good faith, we will represent you.
When you become a member of AOR, you receive legal benefits including:
- Attorney-Client Confidentiality
- Full criminal and civil defense if you’re charged after a self-defense incident
- 24/7/365 emergency hotline access to your trial attorney
- Legal coverage in all 50 states
- Individual and Family plans available
- Online self-defense education & training
- Support for legal advocacy and pro bono initiatives
- Earn commissions promoting The AOR Association
- And more!
You will also receive coverage in matters where other self-defense programs might deny your claim due to their strict industry regulations. With AOR, we cover you even if:
- You are charged with a criminal act
- You take a plea deal
- You used an illegal weapon
- The incident occurred in a gun-free zone
- You are a prohibited possessor
- You were impaired by any drugs of alcohol
- Your incident is deemed a domestic dispute
- You have a CCW permit that is invalid, expired, or nonexistent
- Your self-defense incident involved a negligent discharge
- Your self-defense incident occurred in a less friendly gun state

Why Choose AOR?
Self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance are highly regulated and adhere to strict risk-avoidance rules. They are underwritten by insurers who manage legal claims in the same way as financial losses. This means their policies often have narrow definitions, limited coverage, and built-in exclusions.
With AOR you receive what others cannot provide: a direct attorney–client relationship, immediate legal defense when it counts, and no hidden loopholes or fine print.
