The Justice System Will Steamroll You | Gun Talk Nation

Are you truly prepared for what happens after you defend yourself?

In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, host Ryan Gresham sits down with Chris Cunningham, retired Oklahoma City Police homicide detective and current Critical Response Coordinator for CCW Safe.

Chris reveals hard truths about the criminal justice system, and how even good people with no prior criminal record can find themselves completely unprepared — and financially devastated — after a self-defense shooting. With decades of real-world law enforcement experience, Chris walks through:
  • What really happens after a self-defense shooting
  • Why not calling the police first is a massive mistake
  • How road rage and brandishing incidents escalate into criminal cases
  • The right and wrong things to say after using your gun
  • What it actually costs to defend yourself (you’ll be shocked)
  • How CCW Safe provides expert legal protection, crisis support, and even crime scene cleanup

Whether you're a concealed carrier or just a concerned citizen, this is a must-watch episode that could save you from being steamrolled by the system.

This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Safariland, First Person Defender, Hodgdon Powder, and Guns & Gear.
