They would need to do a bigger robbery to get the money.

Just think of what a nice splash pattern she’d make after being dropped from a huey say at 2000ft on to a parking lot.

If you watch the video until the end, its states the hero is protected from being sued by the castle doctrine. Ahhhh. Now this "news story" makes a little more sense to me. The lawsuit has nothing to do with the self defense shooting of two armed thugs. This is a move to challenge the Castle Doctrine law again. This is suppose to be an activism case brought on by a radical attorney no doubt.

In keeping with one of the core promises of liberalism - there should be no consequences for behavior choices, including theft and violence.

The lawyers who filed this case should be jointly liable for all attorney fees and costs. It is frivolous.

About Self Defense Insurance. I spoke to an insurance agent about this many years ago (it may be different now) while we were putting together a homeowner's policy. He's a gun enthusiast too. The discussion first danced around any "risk consideration" associated with having guns in the house. But it moved to insuring the firearms. Apparently, the insurance industry has a clearer picture of the risk of having firearms in the home as it really doesn't affect the premiums (at least mine back then). I also asked about costs associated with a self defense action in the home.
The clean up (the mess) and damages would be covered but not any legal costs associated with an incident (unless it was in the insurance company's best interest to recover damages). We debated it a bit and he made a good point. You might not want your home owners policy covering your legal position. If you are found "at fault" for any part of the damages, the insurer may be able to deny some portion of a claim they may owe you otherwise. There may actually be a conflict of interest. In other words, if a civil suit were to find that you used excessive force in your defense, they may not have to pay for the mess or damages (bullet holes, broken doors, windows, etc.) associated with the incident. They may be motivated to root against you.
It was hypothetical consideration and casual conversation. But it was an interesting angle. With all the changes in laws today, I am not sure how relevant any of this would be.

Cost of bullets would be very high, considering todays availability. You would have to include the labor cost of loading the bullets into the "magazine" as well. $30 for the bullets, $50,000 to load them.

the families of the dead robbers can still file their paperwork. This means the honest citizen will still have to respond in some way. He may rack up legal fees while the courts move to dismiss the case.
Why on earth would he have to lift a finger if the state of Pennsylvania doesn't allow such suits?

As I understand it, each dependent is worth 3 or 4 thousand per year and if you’re low income and not paying any taxes anyway, this comes back as a check. There’s a lot of incentive for these people to file a return. In fact it’s a huge racket to the tune of billions each year.. and that’s on top of the welfare checks and services they get each month.

Why is this a story? A gunman who is shot in the act has no standing to sue under PA law. Once again, the media proves to be the villain.

I assume you realize that my line was cynical and sarcastic. Of course I agree with you = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Of course I realize that....
I will 'raise' you a dash of sardonicism and irony to go along with the cynicism and sarcasm. All which are favorites of mine...
OF course the TRUTH is the bottom line and it gets harder all the time to try and keep it 'light'
Like they say 'it is an art to (somewhat) maintain your sanity while those around you are being overtaken' - or something like that......

In certain circles, being robber is an acceptable line of work.

"If you watch the video until the end, its states the hero is protected from being sued by the castle doctrine." It wouldn't be the castle doctrine protecting him.

that’s what the DA at the end of the video said...
I didn’t quite get that either.
