THE SHOOTERS' BARSM

Copyright 1997-2008 David S. Markowitz

Welcome to The Shooters' Bar, the Internet's oldest publicly available list of pro-RKBA attorneys.  I created TSB back in 1997 as a way for gun owners to help keep their money within the gunny community.  It's grown quite a bit since its first incarnation as a post on FIDONET, and I've received much positive feedback.

The attorneys listed below have requested that their basic contact information be included on this page. I cannot vouch for their competence or expertise in any particular field of law, but they have indicated to me that they are pro-gun rights.  Note that if you are looking for a "firearms lawyer," and one is not listed in your jurisdiction, it may still be worthwhile to contact someone listed below that is nearby.  He might be able to give you a referral.  If not, then contact your county's bar association, which should have a lawyer referral service.

This information is made freely available as a public service.  Feel free to spread the word or link to this site, but rather than making copies of this page for others, please refer them here.

Additions to this list are both welcome and desired!   Please help me add to this list.  If you are a pro-RKBA attorney, send me your contact information using the same format shown below and I'll add you to The Shooters' Bar.  Please also let me know where you heard of The Shooters' Bar.  (It sometimes takes me awhile to make additions or updates, but I'll get around to it eventually.)
