The next that thing needs to happen is to remove / lighten the typical $200K in legal fees and other legal hassles for people defending themselves, their loved ones, and their property in the case where a shooting results.
I have long argued-and have told my senator and my congressman, that those who engage in felony attacks on honest citizens, should be barred from civil recoveries short of extraordinary conditions. For example, someone robs you and gets away, and a month later, you see him at say the shopping mall and you knock him down and shoot him in the knee caps or torture him-that might justify a civil verdict on top of a felony conviction for such actions. However, if someone breaks into your home or tries to mug you on the street and you shoot them-as long as you are cleared of the shooting, the criminal should be barred from a civil suit and that is based on the long time concept of issue preclusion and/or collateral estoppel that the courts have recognized.
police officers aren't all that well trained btw. but the good news is that the mope will never leave prison alive
So true.
more bullsht-proving you haven't a clue. you really haven't any concept of what you are talking about.
how many police officers do you think get into gun fights Rich
I’m surprised you haven’t recommended they try screaming at their attackers to scare them away.
That’s really good news. I’m glad the bad guys were out down so maybe other will think twice before trying to rob innocent people.

Are you psychic? Or just reading your fantasies into a post that says nothing of the nature of the "violence"
Plenty of armed citizens too:

do you ever post anything other than nonsense designed to troll the gun threads? Drive by baiting posts are pretty sad
There are a dozen or so companies that offer shooting in self defense insurance. They also cover you if you are arrested for most gun offenses. I think mine costs about $13 a month.
A far higher proportion that the number of armed civilians

Not offering any "expertise" in gun fights
I'm commenting on the results of two recent incidents when armed citizens(including a law enforcement officer) "fought back" and suffered for it
In both cases, do you think their families thought the vehicles were worth it ?
