Firearms are powerful and useful tools when used properly—as a form of self-defense to protect you and your family from home invasion or other potential threats of deadly force; for hunting animals for food, sport, or population control; and for skeet shooting and target practice for sport or competition.
And of course, the right of U.S. citizens to keep and bear arms has been protected by the U.S. Constitution since the Second Amendment to the Constitution was passed by the U.S. Congress as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791.
But owning firearms for self-defense, hunting, or sport can expose you and your family to significant civil and criminal liability if the firearms are misused, accessed by children, or are accidentally discharged and cause great bodily injury or death to another person.
For example, if you use a firearm in self-defense against a home intruder or other threat of deadly force, you will be questioned by the police as part of their investigation—and in some instances homeowners who shot an intruder have been charged with a crime or crimes and have even been sued by the home intruder or other attacker.
