    RSWC #247 Lauren Snyder & Joey Hamby, Attorneys On Retainer
    Feb 10 2026
    Riding Shotgun With Charlie #247 Lauren Snyder & Joey Hamby Attorneys On Retainer Sometimes the universe dictates the timing of doing a show. I met Lauren Snyder at Gun Rights Policy Conference in Phoenix in 2019. I was able to film a show with fellow Attorneys On Retainer employee, Sarah Riggle RSWC #189, but we didn't have time for Lauren. At GRPC in Salt Lake City in 2025, we were able to make it happen. But we also got to have Joey Hamby, one of the AOR attorneys who specializes in self defense cases. We're also able to get it out just before they have an AOR conference in Mesa, AZ, in February 2026. Lauren first hit my radar a number of years ago. While at a Second Amendment rally in Phoenix, she connected to Cheryl Todd (RSWC #060) because they both have a vintage look. She got involved with Women For Gun Rights when it was called The DC Project. There is a video out there of her testifying against gun bills in Arizona. But after the politician said he didn't think people should be carrying, she sat in front of him and then he had to retract what he said and told her he didn't mean she shouldn't carry. Of course, this was the first time she ever testified for anything and she was thrown right into the mix of it. Growing up on Long Island, her family wasn't really into firearms. Working at a tattoo shop when she was young, she met a few guys who were Ron Paul libertarians. They also taught her about firearms and safety, but the process in New York was very difficult to exercise her rights. Not really knowing anything other than Democrats and voting for John Kerry in her first election, she quickly turned to the libertarians and the idea of true freedom. Eventually, Lauren found herself living in Florida and got more into firearms. She made more friends and got into shooting and carrying. There wasn't a lot going on for any activism at the time. After meeting her now-husband on Facebook, she moved to Arizona to be with him and got much more involved. With Women For Gun Rights, she has made the trip to DC to lobby and talk with politicians. She didn't think she had a story worth sharing but she did have a stalker and that was when she started taking firearms, training, and self defense more seriously. That is the story she shares with us. Joey Hamby has been a hunter and shooter since he was a kid. He was a junior life member of the NRA, so yeah, since he was young. He loves shooting, hunting, and going out and plinking. Since 1994, he's been practicing law. One of the things that separates AOR from other services is that they are not insurance. They are a legal team that specializes in self defense. Over the years, he's had many interesting cases, of course. He tells us about some of them. But he really gets into why it's important to have training and knowledge if you're going to carry. There have been more than several cases they've taken where they defend someone who has the moral imperative to defend themselves or their family but end up being wrongfully charged for doing so. We really get into things with Joey and self defense of all types. If using self defense of any type is involved, there are things that are going to happen with the defender where they're treated like the criminal until things can be sorted out. Often we think self defense is going to be cut and dry, but it can and does get messy for everyone involved. Joey does a wonderful job talking about this and some current events. There's a lot to self defense. Everyone needs to have an attorney in their phone address book. If you don't, get one. Join a program like AOR. Meet the attorneys for that program and get to know them. You're really doing yourself a favor. Favorite quotes: "I was a willful participant in the indoctrination into libertarianism." "I know I have physical limitations… so my ability to protect myself…are very important to me." "If we don't remain in the legislative process…these are the people who are going to erode our rights." "There's a lot of differences, but all we do is self defense." "You need to plan in advance. You also need to plan what's going to happen afterwards." "If you use a weapon in self defense, you should just expect to get arrested."

  • RSWC 246 Nolan Howard

    RSWC 246 Nolan Howard
    Jan 27 2026
    Riding Shotgun With Charlie #246 Nolan Howard 617 Defense It took a while before I was able to have Nolan Howard on the show. In the meantime, he had stories about him and 617 Defense in the Boston Globe and he was on Bearing Arms' Cam & Co a few times. I'm glad we finally got a chance to do an interview. We've run into each other at a few events hosted by the NRA's state affiliate, Gun Owners Action League. In the fall of 2025, Nolan hosted a Friends of the NRA dinner in Boston, which I don't think ever happened before. Nolan grew up in Boston and the Metrowest area of Boston. Like many young kids, he played video games like Medal of Honor and learned about firearms through them. Having firearms in the house wasn't something they did. But when President Trump was in office the first time, he knew something wasn't right and it was probably time to learn about firearms and get into them. He went to a local shooting school, Mass Firearms School, where I cut my teeth as an instructor and started shooting regularly. He had a friend who helped, mentored, and guided him though shooting and starting 617 Defense. Being in the black community, there was a lack of opportunity to go shooting at a range. Boston is a "range desert" with only one range and zero gun stores in Boston proper. His objective was to keep others in the black informed on what is going on with the firearm community. Most of the ranges in Massachusetts are private clubs. There are only a handful of public ranges across the Commonwealth. His route to being an instructor was through the NRA's Home Firearm Safety, Basics of Pistol Shooting, and becoming a Range Safety Officer. After becoming a certified instructor, he teamed up with others and started offering classes. He's done classes in Boston, but moved onto the Mansfield Fish and Game, which is about an hour from Boston. For a while, Nolan was working with the National African American Gun Association (NAAGA). They do classes monthly for its members and keep them up to date on goings on with the political climate in the firearm community. Since we filmed this show, he's moved on and is working on his own group. We spent some time talking about Chapter 135, the law "Modernizing Gun Laws" in Massachusetts. It has been nothing but a sham. It goes after the license to carry holders and gun owners by turning them into criminals for homemade firearms and carrying pre-1994 so-called high capacity magazines. It makes the training more challenging, too, for instructors like Nolan. The new requirements have live fire, a written exam, suicide prevention, injury prevention, and disengagement training. Once the law went into effect, neither the state nor the state police had any type of curriculum for instructors. They have until April 2026 to develop this. When the topic comes up, people want to talk about national politics. But Nolan wants to get people focused on local politics. These are the people that can affect how things happen around you and affect you directly. But many citizens just vote in the presidential elections. The local politicians don't see how the gun law changes don't make any changes in how things are done and let criminals back out on the street. The politicians also don't understand that the laws make more hurdles for the folks who take training and pass background checks. Adding live fire is also going to drive up the cost for instructors, which gets passed onto the consumer. This makes classes more unaffordable and time consuming. However, people do need to train and practice with their firearms. Overall, I think Nolan is doing a great job in Boston. He's getting lots of local and national recognition for the time he's been involved as an instructor. He's busy teaching classes and taking classes to be able to offer more to his clients. Favorite quotes: "How can I be different from every other instructor? How can I keep up with current events?" "As most black people, we don't focus on the local politics. Some do. Not Many."| "You want to shoot one round for 10 minutes? Ok." "How come they don't give us this information? I say cuz they don't want you to know." 617 Defense Website https://617defense.com/ 617 Defense IG https://www.instagram.com/617defense/ 617 Defense YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@617Defense 617 Defense Facebook https://www.facebook.com/p/617-Defense Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.
