These terms apply to your use of homedefenseguns.co, operated by Scout Theory LLC. By using the site, you agree to them.
Editorial content only
HomeDefenseGuns publishes buyer's guides and general educational information. Our guides are built from manufacturer and retailer specifications and published sources. Unless an article says otherwise, they are not hands-on tests. Specifications, availability and prices change, so always confirm details on the retailer's page before you buy.
Not legal, safety or professional advice
Nothing on this site is legal advice. Firearm, ammunition, magazine, storage and self-defense laws vary by country, state and city and change over time. You are responsible for knowing and following the laws that apply to you. Content about home defense is general information and is not a substitute for professional training. Get qualified instruction before relying on any firearm for defense.
Firearm purchases
We do not sell firearms or ammunition. Purchases are made with third-party retailers under their terms. Firearms must be transferred through a licensed dealer (FFL) where required, and buyers must meet all federal, state and local requirements.
Affiliate relationships
Some links are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commissions do not determine our editorial conclusions.
Safe handling and storage
Always follow the fundamental rules of firearm safety and the manufacturer's instructions. Store firearms securely and out of reach of children and unauthorized users. Practice manipulations only with unloaded firearms and no ammunition present.
Accuracy
We work to keep content accurate and current, and many articles carry a "current as of" and "review by" date. We do not guarantee that everything is complete, current or error-free. If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page.
Intellectual property
Site content is owned by Scout Theory LLC unless otherwise noted. You may share links and brief quotations with attribution. Do not republish full articles without permission. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scout Theory LLC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or your reliance on its content, or from products or services purchased from third parties.
External links
We link to third-party sites we do not control. Their content and policies are their own.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
