All training, consultations, materials, discussions, and content provided by The American Firearms Network—including but not limited to classroom instruction, range sessions, guides, videos, YouTube content, or conversations about self-defense, use of force, concealed carry, Florida laws (e.g., § 776, Fla.

This information does NOT constitute legal advice, does NOT create an attorney-client relationship, and should NOT be relied upon as a substitute for personalized legal guidance.
Firearms laws, self-defense rights, use-of-force standards, and legal consequences are highly complex, fact-specific, subject to frequent changes through legislation and court decisions, and vary based on individual circumstances, jurisdiction, and evolving case law.
AFN instructors provide practical firearms training, safety education, and general awareness of relevant concepts based on their certifications (NRA, USCCA, etc.). We do not offer legal opinions, interpretations of statutes, advice on the lawfulness of specific actions, post-incident legal strategies, or guarantees regarding compliance with any law.
You are strongly encouraged to consult a licensed Florida attorney for advice tailored to your specific situation, especially regarding self-defense rights, carry laws, use-of-force scenarios, or potential legal outcomes.
