Actually, living through a deadly force encounter is a win. At least in my book it is. My getting involved in a DF encounter would be the only way it would be known I was carrying.revjen45 wrote:In the final analysis, being found not guilty after expending you life savings and taking out a second mprtgage to pay the lawyers hardly counts as a win. Remember- when it comes to the legal industry the one who prevails is the one who can pay the shysters to dance and belch the longest (sorry Charles- I count you as distinguished barrister, not a shyster). Who has more money than the Federal Govt (besides God)? Paying one lawyer would bankrupt you, and they have legions of them, and when they need more money they just steal it from the peons through taxation. Also, it doesn't matter what the law says. You have to prove yourself innocent at $300+/hr. and the law means whatever some Roland Freisler clone in a black robe says it means. It would be like opposing a Chinese human wave charge with a muzzle loader.
I also disagree with you about the having to prove my innocence. It works the other way around.
