Dear Friend,
You may not like it but gun law is complicated and it matters. It may not matter much when you have to make a life or death decision about pulling a trigger but it matters a whole lot after that decision is made and you are faced with the legal and civil consequences.
Even if you think you may never actually have to shoot anyone that doesn’t mean you don’t need to understand the way the laws and the legal system work. This stuff can save you from prison time and hundreds of thousands of dollars from something as simple as a traffic related confrontation.
This is why I sought out the most qualified and experienced “gun law” attorney I could find and asked them to lend me their two most valuable assets on your behalf. Their time and expertise. We recorded over 8 hours of video reviewing every aspect of gun related laws and the legal system that has evolved around them. Understand that this attorney charges almost $400 for an hour of their time. We’ve brought you that level of expertise at a fraction of the price.
Read on to learn more about the content and the attorney!
Thank you for considering this online gun law course. I’m confident you won’t regret it!

I Suspect You Already Know Some Of This Stuff
If you are like most of the gun owners I know you probably already have what you believe to be a sound understanding of gun laws.
After all, you took a concealed carry class in which your instructor taught you some laws and the internet makes it very easy to get the opinion of any collective group of people or any number of “experts” on YouTube.
Unfortunately, people who take this course not only discover how much they didn’t know but almost without exception they also realize some existing belief they already had is outright wrong.
If you want correct information you have to go to the only qualified source. A qualified and competent attorney.
The problem? The cost. Buying an hour of time from a good attorney is going to cost you $250+ per hour and an attorney that specializes in firearm law and firearm-related self-defense is going to be significantly more expensive than that.
The Good News?
We did it for you. This course is over 8 hours of interview time with one of the nation’s most qualified attorneys; edited down to a little more than 3 hours. Watch it as you go, at your convenience, in the comfort of your own home.

Your Instructor: Doug Richards
Doug began his legal career at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office in Houston, Texas. During his time as an Assistant District Attorney, he tried over 70 criminal jury trials, ranging from murder, armed robbery, sexual assaults of adults and children and kidnapping, to DUI, assault and simple drug possession. Doug was quickly identified as a rising star and was described by judges, attorneys and jurors as a knowledgeable, skilled and fierce advocate. Doug’s comfort level in the courtroom earned him fast promotions and a reputation for successfully implementing new ideas in technology to advance his case in court.
One of Doug’s promotions included being asked to join the Vehicular Crimes Division. As a member, police officers and investigators routinely called Doug with questions about fatality crashes where intoxication or negligence were at issue. Doug responded to the scene of dozens of crashes, most occurring in the middle of the night. At the scene, Doug directed officers and crash investigators through collecting and preserving evidence, drafting search warrants, and preparing the case for court. Doug handled many of these cases from the crash scene through verdict. In addition to working investigations, Doug was responsible for training prosecutors and police officers. For his efforts, Doug received awards of recognition from Mothers Against Drunk Driving in 2007 and 2008. There are only a few criminal defense attorneys in the country who have this experience.
In 2008, Doug left the district attorney’s office and accepted the prestigious position of Assistant United States Attorney. As a federal prosecutor, Doug was responsible for investigating and prosecuting international criminal travel networks and drug trafficking organizations, to fighting public corruption, white-collar crime and cases involving national security. Doug successfully tried numerous criminal jury trials as an Assistant United States Attorney.
In 2010, Doug received an award from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III for his work as lead counsel on a large public corruption case where wiretaps and other covert investigative techniques were successfully implemented.
Today Doug has a private legal criminal defense practice based in Denver, Colorado.
Doug’s prosecutorial experience allows him to quickly identify issues that a client or organization may face. He has personally drafted hundreds of search and arrest warrants, reviewed and corrected those drafted by his peers, and trained junior prosecutors in the art of drafting a successful, “airtight” warrant. This experience has given Doug the ability to quickly identify deficiencies, inaccuracies, and mischaracterizations in such documents.
Doug is admitted to practice in all Colorado and Texas state courts. He is also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for Colorado and the Western District of Texas, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
