[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 3374680, member: 3286"] When I took my conceal and carry class, one of the instructors stated that if you ever had to raise your gun to shoot, you could be looking at $10k in fees if you brought in a lawyer, even if you just wanted them to ride along for CYA as you participate in giving testimony and dealing with follow up. He made the point that raising your gun over issues of property was likely to never leave you in a better financial situation than just taking the material loss. Whether that math is entirely true or not, I still walked away with the point that I'm not going to push to create a life and death scenario if it's just over possesions. If someone brings life or death to your door, you do what you have to do, but doing things like chasing someone down, over property that isn't even yours, just seems like a scenario where nothing good can come of it for anyone.
