Re: What happens when you shoot someone?

[quote=

Texas fortunately has "Stand your Ground Laws" and if it's a good shoot you can't be sued civilly due to said laws. Additionally if you're involved in a good shoot, you're not going to be arrested if the evidence is clear that you were acting in defense of yourself or others. The notion that you're going to jail for something that's legal with clear evidence is ludicrous and simply a way to make money. Now with that said, I'd still invest in some type of legal coverage myself because like the reason we have firearms and LTCs it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and to have it. I am not a lawyer nor LEO (yet), but I do work as a Corrections Officer in a police department in Harris County and have never seen someone arrested on a good shoot nor have I read a report of a good shoot that someone was arrested on.

Just my two cents hope it helps

P.S. I do have an Associates in Criminal Justice, so I also have a base line knowledge of the laws.[/quote]

I don't know of any law that prevents another from being sued. A civil law suit is much different on weight of liability, whereas the parties must only tilt the reason just slightly.

P.S. I watched Judge Judy more years than it takes to get a degree.
