Today, it was my distinct honor and privilege to be inducted into the National Rifle Associations (NRA) Heritage Society. As I am not shy or embarrassed by my support of the NRA, I have no qualms about disclosing that I left 15% of my overall estate to the Civil Rights Defense Fund, commonly referred to as the CRDF. While there are over 20 different non-profit organizations and sub-endowments of the NRA (see my article here listing and offering free gun trust amendments for those wishing to list NRA a beneficiary of their trust), the CRDF has a special place in my heart, as it is responsible for supporting litigation to protect the 2nd Amendment. Without the CRDF, many individuals would be unable to defend against draconian charges and anti-gun District Attorneys. Furthermore, the 2nd Amendment would be trampled in the Civil arena, as well.
I was also informed that I am the youngest Heritage Society member. So, I put this challenge out to all my viewers: become the youngest Heritage Society Ambassador/member. If time has passed you by, it isn’t too late. You can always add the NRA to your estate planning. Whether it is listing a non-profit NRA organization as the beneficiary of your 401k or leaving qualifying real estate to the NRA, you can support the NRA and ensure that your grandchildren still enjoy the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that you and I do. It’s only through such donations that the NRA can continue to protect the 2nd Amendment, whether it is through litigation, legislative action or safety training.
If you want to discuss leaving a portion of your estate to the NRA or amending your existing estate planning, contact me today, so that we can, together, ensure that your desires are carried out and that generations to come can continue to enjoy the protections of the 2nd Amendment.

With our 2nd Amendment rights being attacked at both the Federal and State level, and the ATF (Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) trying to close down FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) for minor infractions while making FFLs the scapegoat when the ATF's records are inaccurate, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am one of only a handful of attorneys across the US that practices in the niche area of law known as firearms law. I decided to concentrate my legal practice on firearms law not only because I am a shooter and firearms enthusiast, but also to ensure that our inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms is never encroached upon.
I handle cases at the Federal and State level for both FFLs and individuals. At the federal and state levels for individuals, I actively defend the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 21 of the PA Constitution, as well as, help individuals with:
- License to Carry Firearms Denials;
- Challenges to Erroneous PICS Denials;
- Relief from Firearms Disabilities;
- Estate Planning Advice;
- Gun/NFA Trusts; and
- 42 USC 1983 Actions for Deprivation of Civil Rights
At both the state and federal levels, I represent FFLs and SOTs throughout Pennsylvania and the US regarding:
- ATF Compliance Inspections;
- Warning Letters and Hearings;
- FFL Revocations;
- Corporate Structure Advice
- Indoor/Outdoor Range Implementation; and
- Forfeiture Proceedings
In following my love for firearms and firearms law, I have taught several Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on Firearms in Estates and Trusts and Firearms Law 101 for several Bar Associations, including Berks, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties. I also planned and taught several Firearms in Estates CLE classes for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI).
While at Widener Law School, I was a member of the Widener Law Journal. I wrote an article on the Inaccuracy of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). I also had an article published on Fee Disputes in Workers Compensation cases in the Widener Law Journal, Volume 18, No. 2.
You can often find me posting on several internet forums, including Subguns, Uzitalk, AR15, and PAFOA. I also hold PA Firearms Law classes for local ranges to inform the public on the firearm laws of the Commonwealth.
Following in my father's footsteps, I am also a Board member for the Pottstown Police Athletic League (PAL).
