Well, one thing to consider is your medical expenses - because if you get shot, you are going to have some.
1. Should you bear the cost of all those medical expenses yourself? After all, it is unlikely that the bad guy is going to be able to pay them.
2. If you answered "But that is why I have health insurance", then understand that your insurance company is DEFINITELY going to sue the guy if they can and they'll expect you to cooperate with them. Not cooperating with them can result in you paying those costs yourself.
And that pretty much sums it up...

As Clint Smith says: "Every shot you fire downrange has a lawyer attached to it."
