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.

The Three Simple Criteria for Coverage

  1. You are charged (or are reasonably concerned about being charged) with a crime (felony or misdemeanor).
  2. You can reasonably and in good faith assert that you acted in self-defense or defense of others.
  3. The charges arise out of conduct that occurred entirely after you became a member of Attorneys On Retainer

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 (including Washington D.C.)
  • Online self-defense education & training
  • Support for legal advocacy and pro bono initiatives
  • Commission-based affiliate program
  • And more!

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.

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!

The Difference

This is not your typical
self-defense insurance.

Most programs put an insurance company or third-party network between you and your defense. AOR puts a law firm there instead — the only one in the nation exclusively representing clients in self-defense cases.

Other Self-Defense Programs

  • Coverage tied to an insurance policy or third-party network
  • Your attorney must agree to program billing rates and guidelines
  • Your information may not be protected by attorney-client privilege
  • Attorneys may handle many types of cases, not just self-defense
  • No law firm exclusively dedicated to self-defense cases in your corner

Attorneys On Retainer

  • Attorney-client privilege the moment you become an AFF client
  • 24/7 emergency access to your attorney
  • Coverage decisions made by your attorneys, not an insurance company
  • Coverage in all 50 states & D.C.
  • We cover what other programs routinely exclude
