Hi, all, from a new member.
I'm an attorney in his third decade of practicing law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with a particular focus on the law of self defense (hence, my user name) but I am looking to make my escape from MA as soon as my oldest graduates high school. I began my competitive shooting activities as a youth, and today I'm a Life Member of the NRA and a Charter/Life Member and Master-class competitor in multiple classifications in IDPA. I've for many years been an NRA-certified firearms instructor in pistol, rifle, and personal protection, and have previously served as an Adjunct Instructor at the SigArms Academy. I have, or have held, concealed carry permits in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Pennsylvania, Florida, Utah, and other states.
I usually post about legal-related events around self defense, and have a personal blog on the law of self defense.
FYI, my avatar photo is a pic of me standing in front of the poured concrete welcome sign at Barber Motorsports Park when I did a motorcycle tour through the southeast a few years back. Loved AL on that trip, met some great folks and had some really great food.
