Please inform us where we stand legally in the use of a weapon for self defense. If someone assaults me, what can I do with my Smith & Wesson M&P .40C? I know from the Trayvon Martin episode, even when you are getting your head bashed on the sidewalk, shooting your assailant can cause some expensive court costs.

From what I know, I warn them if they continue I will use a fire arm. If they continue, I can shoot. Is that correct?

I don’t give that kind of advice. Contact your State Attorney General’s office for information/statutes on self defense as it varies from state to state.

You had better put in in the safe until you learn the law
