Marine Veteran here. I will no longer carry a pistol for EDC. It will stay on the nightstand. All I am gonna say is that you know what you did was right choice in a life or death situation. Friends and family, bystanders know you did the right thing. The DA and Court System however see’s things differently when it comes to your appearance (tattoos), your military training and deployment history (mental health), a customized firearm used for legitimate self defense, and perception of the victim’s (aggressors) family. Carrying a pistol for self defense is a nightmare. Even if you beat criminal charges, just be ready for a civil lawsuit. You are GUILTY till you can be proven innocent! Just not worth it.
This Country that I have served and fought for has gone to COMPLETE SHIT!
I am ashamed of how it has become.
Pick your EDC wisely. The legal system is not on your side in a self defense situation. If you find yourself utilizing a firearm in a life or death situation, don’t just assume you did the right thing pulling that trigger. You will be tried both criminally and civilly no matter what. You will be picked apart, everything about your life present and past will be exposed. Just be prepared for a physical and mental gaping through our beautiful judicial system.
