[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1385814, member: 1242"] Unfortunately this is not true. Even if a shooting is deemed justified and the authorites do not prosecute, I have heard of familes of the dead bad guy filing wrongful death suits. You might get lucky and the judge might throw it out as frivilous. Or they might have enough evidence to convince a judge that there is some merit to their case and there you are -- having to spend your time and money to defend yourself. I agree, it sucks, but that is the way the system works. (This is true of all kinds of things ... not just shootings. You can be innocent as the driven snow but anybody can file a lawsuit alleging stuff and you will have to defend yourself or risk a default judgment.) [/QUOTE]
