I was in my loca Gun Shop the other day and the discussion turned to what would occur in the aftermath of a "Self Defense" shooting. After the Police have investigated and the DA has determined that the shooting was justified, the following statement(s) were offered:
"Even in the case of the most righteous shooting, you will incur at least a $50,000 legal expense to defend yourself against the BG or his estate." The party making this statement cited "all the Certified Instructors I have talked to". Also cited was Massad Ayoob.
From this, I have three questions:
What constitutes a Certified Instructor and where do they get their facts?
Who, besides Massad Ayoob, has a good handle on the real world of Guns and Self Defense, and writes for magazines?
What are the real world costs of a "Good Shooting" (meaning it was found to be totally justifiable and the local authorities refuse to file any charges).
