“...........”provision in our law is not an invitation to vigilante justice, but it does allow when someone has a responsible fear for imminent death or bodily injury that you're allowed to protect yourself,”

As a concealed carry holder, the above is the key concept everyone with a firearm needs to understand.

Most of the self-defense and use of deadly force laws are hugely limited, technical and have little to do with justice.

They are all about what a “reasonable person” would do, “proportional” response, and “stopping the moment the criminal is no longer an immediate threat.” Those definitions are often created on a case by case basis upon the skill of the attorneys and upon the bias of the jury members. Any deviation of this can get you arrested for “brandishing” a weapon, “reckless endangerment” and a host of other criminal charges.

Depending on the jurisdiction, any time a concealed carry weapon is drawn, one should expect to be arrested, go on trial, and pray that you are not convicted of a crime. If you are not, you are lucky.

The legal system is no longer a justice system, but one of technicalities.

Thanks, Robert, Unfortunately I cannot find any part of your comment incorrect.

Every person should train and educate themselves and their children on Federal and State Law on Self Defense, and Jury Awareness, whether they carry or not.
