Groovy? I am not a bible scholar, but must have missed that part. ;-)
WildBill, that must be from the New Testament in the NHV (New Hippie Version) bible. :lol:

PC §9.06. CIVIL REMEDIES UNAFFECTED. The fact that conduct is justified under this chapter does not abolish or impair any remedy for the conduct that is available in a civil suit.

That reads to me you can be sued for using deadly force.

Then this code says

CPRC § 83.001. CIVIL IMMUNITY. A defendant who uses force or deadly force that is justified under Chapter 9, Penal Code, is immune from civil liability for personal injury or death that results from the defendant's use of force or deadly force, as applicable

And this reads to me you cant be sued.

Can someone explain this ?
