When you choose to arm yourself to protect life and liberty, you’re making a solemn choice: to act if threatened, and to stand strong in the aftermath. But too often, the legal consequences of acting in self-defense become more frightening than the threat itself.
We know this better than most. That’s where Second Call Defense (SCD) steps in — and why “We Got Your Back” is much more than a marketing slogan, it reflects our proven record of unwavering support when members need it most.
Doesn’t Every “CCW Insurance” Company Say That?
Yes, they do, but not every provider of “CCW insurance” has lived up to its promise to protect and defend members.
Consider the experience of Kayla Giles — a stark reminder of what can happen when you’re your legal defense plan provider walks back their promise.
In 2018, Kayla was charged with murder after fatally shooting her estranged husband in a Walmart parking lot. Before her arrest, Giles had purchased a policy through the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), often referred to as “CCW insurance.” However, the coverage fell short when she needed it most.
While USCCA initially paid a $50,000 retainer to secure her legal representation, they dropped her case entirely before her trial even began, leaving her to fund her own defense against a murder charge that could carry a life sentence.
Her case highlights two serious risks for armed citizens:
- Limited coverage can evaporate at the first sign of expense, leaving you unprotected.
- The legal system doesn’t stop at criminal charges — civil suits, bail bonds, expert witnesses, and mounting fees can devastate a family.
Giles was originally found guilty, but it turned out worse for USCCA when the Louisiana Supreme Court subsequently reversed and vacated Giles’ murder conviction, recognizing her actions as a clear case of self-defense.

Defending Your Life Shouldn’t Cost You Everything
If you carry for protection — whether concealed carry, home defense, or another reason — understanding what happens after an incident matters as much as knowing how to respond during one. Without robust legal backing:
- You may face years of legal battles without support.
- Your financial resources — savings, future wages, home equity, retirement — could be at risk.
- Your future could be judged not just in court, but in public opinion.
