Protecting your rights starts before you ever need to use your firearm.

If you own a gun in New York, you already know the laws are complex, strict, and sometimes unforgiving. Even if you do everything right, a single moment of defending yourself or your family can turn into a legal nightmare — unless you’re prepared.

That’s where NY TAC Defense comes in.

  • Emergency Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), also known as Red Flag Laws

  • Situations where law enforcement seeks to confiscate your weapons

NYTAC Defense isn’t a national call center or legal insurance company — it’s a direct connection to a trusted New York criminal defense team with over 30 years of experience.
