Well a cousin of mine killed his ex and beat the murder rap but her family chased him for years in Civil court.
Why did you need a GUN to protect yourself if you were not sure you would need it???
Sorry to hear about your brush with bad side of life - did your cousin assert self defense and win on that basis? That’s the thing - self-defense - that can serve as bar to civil trial too.
Pretty common when self defense (killing) is in the home. Burglars survivors don’t get a right to sue. Not every state has this, so there are cases wehre righteous killer was sued.
This DA is nuts. You carry a gun because you expect somebody is going to attack you. Sure, that’s why police carry guns too.
DA has him now ... so, you lied to the press (about being an EMT)
