Getting jumped or mugged

+1 for sharing your story. I am happy for you that you didn't have to discharge your weapon. Only you know what was in your head. Only you, and your Maker, will ever know whether you did the right thing. You know, and you described so well, why you did what you did and how you are at peace with the decisions you made. Every incident is a chain of known and unknown factors. It is kind of like walking into the middle of a movie, watching ten minutes and then having to make a life or death decision about what should be done next. Often what you learn after the fact can be devastating and turn your whole thought process up-side down. Being armchair quarterbacked by people who have access to more information and without the stress of dealing with the imminent danger is less than productive. It is stupid.

I like the idea of thinking out scenarios and even mentally playing them out. I've never once had real life go the way it did in my head. Maybe some day.

Be alert. Be safe.

Wow, as stated, if you are not in your house and draw a weapon, the police will treat you as the criminal, so you say NOTHING. Also, if you CC, you had better have a CC lawyer right now, IMO.

You have to be ready to 'Lawyer up' if you do a shooting. Thats going to run about $20 Grand minimum? because this is not your house you are defending. The odds are running 80/20 I think, for taking out a gun, and taking out a gun and using it against "unarmed" opponents. Plus, they will most likely be minorities, which may bring in the race card, and you will not be able to bring up past arrests in court.

God, self-defense with a weapon sounds like a nightmare

I would like to know how much it costs on average to 'lawyer up' for a shooting. For a non-shooting/brandishing, its probably still a lawyer fee of 2-3000 if you are charged. Guessing

"Defense of a criminal charge average in the neighborhood of $100,000 even if its a righteous shoot"

Ok, I was just thinking about insurance for CC. So, are these guys having a good track record though? Know anything about them?

Its well worth the $ if its $350 a year. I think its a must.

Hmmm, the NRA also has $250,000 of coverage for $250.00 a year. They have $100,000 coverage for less, so something is available for not alot of mula. Seems like a good deal,

I would like to hear more about people involved in protective shootings outside the house. I know that guy who shot the illegal stealing his trailer last year got weaned for 80-100,000 Gs, and his camper burned down, but that was not a clear cut shooting, he was outside the house and handled it badly. Forgot his name...

The DA let the illegals out and romp around stealing all the while...

If anything looks suspicious about your shooting, the NRA will drop you like a hot rock.

I don't know what the rules are, but unless its clearcut, I'd think they have to put you through the system you paid for the coverage, and the system rules guilty or not. If your found guilty, you have a whole lot more trouble than bankruptcy.

You'd think it'd be that way.
