HOUSTON, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- June is National Safety Month, a time to make safety a priority. The largest and most comprehensive survey of American gun owners ever conducted suggests that they use firearms in self-defense about 1.7 million times a year. U.S. LawShield, America's premier Legal Defense for Self Defense® organization, believes that self-defense, the use of force in response to a threat, can be handled in more ways than one. Within the bounds of federal, state and local laws, reasonable proportional force can be used in defense of yourself or another, against a credible immediate threat. However, understanding the relevant laws regarding use of force where you live is critical in keeping yourself and others safe.
