The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) and Right To Bear have launched a new partnership to strengthen support for responsible gun owners by combining Second Amendment advocacy with self-defense legal protection membership benefits. Through this partnership, NAGR members can receive 15% off recurring Right To Bear membership fees, which also helps support NAGR's ongoing mission to defend and protect Second Amendment rights nationwide.

Why it matters

Responsible gun owners often prepare extensively for the moment they may need to defend themselves, including training, safe firearm ownership, and understanding use-of-force laws. What many do not anticipate is the legal aftermath that can follow, even when self-defense actions are legally justified. This partnership aims to give NAGR members access to both proactive Second Amendment advocacy and practical legal protection if they ever need to defend themselves.

The details

Right To Bear provides legal protection memberships for individuals who may face criminal or civil legal challenges after a self-defense incident. Even when the use of force is legally justified, gun owners may still encounter police investigations, criminal charges, civil lawsuits, attorney fees, and lost wages from court appearances. Right To Bear memberships are designed to help members prepare for these potential legal consequences before they happen, including criminal and civil defense attorney fee coverage, 24/7 attorney hotline access, firearm replacement after law enforcement seizure, lost wage protection, and other legal support services.

  • The new partnership between NAGR and Right To Bear was launched on April 14, 2026.
