wow.
no way to tell. It could be anything.
Depends on the circumstances, the police, and the political climate where it occurred, who you are, who the suspect/victim is,
There is no way to answer that question.
You can expect this thread coming up in court.
Someone could say you were anticipating a "self-defence shooting" and were looking for advice to navigate the situation.
Be prepared to be put through an expensive hell.
If he doesn't die, he will sue, and probably win because our judicial system is a joke.
Conclusion: Shoot to kill. The dead cannot testify.

Yep
Prosecuter or Civil Attorney" Sir, so as shown in this post, it was your specific intent to kill the deceased..Correct?
you..."Uhhh...uhhh"
We shoot to stop the threat....PERIOD.
If he dies, that is unfortunate, but it was not our intent to wound or kill...only to stop the threat.
This thread is proof of why a quality CHP class is a necessity.
Regardless of how "justified" the shooting is, you will also have varying degrees of mental, physical, and emotional fallout from it that will last years to a lifetime.

Nola, isn't this addressed in the massad ayoob class you are hosting?

I can't think of the particular statute, but Louisiana protects the person who uses deadly force to protect himself from civil lawsuit by the guy he shot and his family.
This is a total what if scenario, some things may or may not happen due to circumstances but you should be prepared for all of them.
First thing is you will be questioned by the police at the scene, your gun possible taken as evidence. You may or may not be arrested depending on the circumstances.
You will be proabably called in at a later date and time to answer more questions by police.
You will probably be brought before a grand jury, and may have to testify before the grand jury.
If a criminal trial ensues, that is pretty much self explanitory.
Next, probably at the end of the criminal investigation definatly with ing the next year YOU WILL BE SUED by the person you shot or his heirs. Get with your homeowners insurance as who they are really after. Civil suit is also pretty much self explanitory.
Will still not stop you from getting sued, Anyone can file suit, hoping you will just throw em something to make em go away or they think they have a way around it. You may win in the long run, but it will be expensive and time consuming.
