yes. without getting into too many details, a close friend was a victim of a home invasion. they shot several of the bad guys. they were later caught at the hospital. my friend and his dad never faced any consequences. the bad guys are still in prisonkrzr3000;2230411;2230411 said:How many of you have pulled out a knife or gun in self defense? And do you know anyone who has (shot or stabbed someone in defense and gotten away with it)?
JD7.62;2230603; said:I'm not aware of any states that would prosecute an individual who use deadly force in self defense. In my state we have the castle doctorine law which basically extends the use of deadly force to not only for self preservation but to your property as well. In other words if some tool is trying to jack your car you will not be prosecuted if you shoot and kill as he drives off.
Saying that most CCWers would NEVER use deadly force to protect property. Not worth a human life no matter how big of a scumbag they are to protect property.
I've never had to pull a weapon though I've had my hand on the weapon and ready to draw once.

But i guess being judged by a jury would give you the better odds.![]()
