Texas Law Shield Facilities and Instructors:
I'm writing to offer you free use of
our Texas Law Shield e-newsletter content - no strings attached - to
push out to your customer and student email lists.
The stories attached below are proven to be the most engaging stories for our members, and we'd guess they would be of interest to your non-member customers as well.
If you are already using email to periodically reach out to your customers and students, you can use any of the material below from our recent Texas Law Shield member e-letters to cut and paste into your email-delivery program.
If you click on the links, they lead to stories on the Texas & U.S. Law Shield blogs. If you want to repost our material on
your own blogs or content management system, go right ahead. The
articles and images are sufficiently attributed to our attorneys, and
it's clear you're reposting authoritative legal content.
I'll periodically send updates of what
we've found are hot stories that might be of interest to shooters. If
you operate social media that you would like us to recognize on our
pages, please send those links along and we'll share your information
with our Texas members.
If you have questions, email me at
[email protected].
Best Regards,
Todd Woodard

To Our Texas Members and Other Friends of the Gun:
As you may have seen from our
newsletters on Friday, June 17, Texas & U.S. Law Shield launched a
new event campaign entitled "Surviving an Active Shooter" in a few select Texas and Florida markets.
The response we received was
overwhelming. In fact, within the first hour of business on Friday, four
of the five available Texas events filled up -- each with more than
50-person capacities. We were inundated with calls from people who were
disappointed they were unable to register for these events because our
limited schedule was full.
Given the reaction from just
our member-base, we have elected to push forward and roll this program
out on an expanded basis immediately.
Click the headline below to see an
extensive listing of these new events. If you have questions about
the events, please call customer service at (877) 474-7184 (option 3).
On this topic, we encourage you to think beyond just your personal training needs. As you're looking at the "Surviving an Active Shooter" event
schedule, please consider inviting friends, family, and work
colleagues. Sadly, it is not alarmist to say these unspeakable tragedies
can happen anywhere -- the fact is, they have happened at night clubs,
work gatherings out of the office, schools, movie theaters, political
rallies, and many other venues where large groups of unarmed people
gather.
Our best hope is that you never, ever
have to put into action any of the ideas presented at
these events. Regrettably, this is the world we live in, so we choose to be prepared. Come get ready with us.
-- Randy Macchi,
General Counsel, Texas & U.S. Law Shield
