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.

Armed American Radio (AAR) is a nationally syndicated radio program hosted by Mark Walters that focuses on Second Amendment and gun rights advocacy. Mark and AAR 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 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!
