I dont mean to be critical. Nor do I claim to know it all or know anything for sure. But I have set through several court cases, civil and criminal. I pretty sure, in a civil law suite, lawyers will try every thing posible to discredit a person, Any thing to smoke up the issue.
So here comes my WHAT IF THEORY. It basicly follows the 3 S's. Shoot shovel and shut up.
I don't believe it telegraphing you punch. You can have all the what ifs you want, but dont publish it. Example what would I do if Joe Doe does X. Now I fill up the internet with my answer. If Johe Doe does X, I will do Y. So down the road, Joe Smith does X, and you do Y. Ok Joe Smith sues. His lawyer does a google on your name JOHN ADAMS -GUNS, and finds all your post, he sees your plan for doing Y. Now is your actions premeditated? Maybe, maybe not, but its more BS you have to defend in a civil suit.
To see what I mean, google "Your Name - Guns" and see how many if any hits.
In personal defense, I believe in STUDY, TRAIN, PRACTICE AND SHUT UP
Same with being involved in a shooting. Most laws say you can use deadly force to prevent X. So in court, either cornors inquest of civil trial, do You say I SHOT TO KILL or I SHOT TO WOUND. ECT. I think not, I shot to stop Mr BD from doing X. SHOT TO STOP.
There are several things one can do to lesson the effects of a civil suit. Dont talk a head of time. Dont talk after, (except for what is necessary to authorities). Don't use reloads in a defense weapons. Etc Etc.
Another related subject to think about. Gun Training. I've seen cases where XZY Firarms training said brand A pistol isnt worth the ammo to shoot it, He wont allow one in his school. So you go to school, you experince says Brand A is a great weapon so you carry it and have to use it in a SD situation. Here comes BGs lawyer. Does a google on XZY TRaining and finds a statement about the Brand A pistol, Now you have to answer for not following your training.
Get the point. Maybe I'm all wet, but the less you have to answer for in a civil suit, the less money you are gonna have to spend defending yourself. I cringe when I see this WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF POST.
Remember, contrary to what you see on TV, its not CSI that gets bad guys caught. Its police work, street cops talking to people. We all talk to much, it human nature. That is what gets bad guys caught. CSI is good for sewing up a case but Talking gets you there. Watch what you say on to anyone, especally the internet.
