^^^ possibly but that is not guaranteed. Sometimes even the BG's friends and family are glad to see him gone.

It's probably been said but.
IF you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
Personally it's another area I'm sick and tired of.
The LAW is supposed to be able to be understood by ALL of us
and we ALL should be able to discern the law and have equal access to the system.
It should NOT be as convoluted as it is now
and the good old boy network of lawyers/judges (I went to school to learn the law stuff
how dare you try to defend yourself, give ME some money and I can do it for you) should not apply.
We have a REAL problem with the laws in this land and how a 'hierarchy'
has been established to get due process of law.

I live in Texas. I'm not worried about it.
Besides, it's like my grandad said - "it's just money - you can always make more".

Save your 85 bucks.
They are nothing but a consulting firm. If your attorney needs help, then find a new attorney.
Putting your assets in trusts protects your money.
Think like the Rockefellers, control everything, own nothing(trusts)
Live in a state or get your state to protect you against suits in a justified shoot.
Some personal liability umbrella policies cover legal expenses.
But remember in 95% of legal help, you get what you pay for.

The way things are going, Maybe some day tax payers will pay it for you!
"There should be insurance for this like there is with cars and houses. For defense counsel purposes only, not to pay liabilities because of a wrongful shoot.
I think the premium cost could be really low, since there are very very few justifiable defense shootings that end up in law suits. And even when they do, the costs are pretty limited (no attorney is going to want $1,000,000 to defend you, such as is often awarded in negligent injury/homicide cases). And since the insurance wouldn't cover your damages if found guilty, the costs can be mitigated down to the thousands instead of unknown amounts to be determined after trial."
Excellent post, Roost. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.

CHL Legal Help
In Texas, I belong to CHL Protection Plan (chlpp.com). The promise is that if I don't violate any law, they will defend me in court. My CHL instructor recommended them to me.
I'm happy to say I have had no need for their services, so far. The closest I have come was when a policeman stopped me for an expired inspection sticker. I was carrying so I hander over my DL, CHL, and insurance proof at the same time. He looked them all over and told me how to handle the expired sticker.
There is no question that I would still be carrying if I didn't have this coverage. Better in a law suit than a coffin.
For what it's worth, the customer service number for chlpp is 866-851-9744.

That reminds me, I need to get some Moon Rock Insurance sometime this week. You know, in case a moon rock hits me on the head.
Would probably be a wise move to remove the testimonial on their website from their National Sales Director. That's kind of like Big Al from Big Al's Tires telling you he knows a great place to get a deal on tires.

Thank god for the Castle Law here in Florida.
15K is nothing for the privilage of being alive tomorrow or being able to hug my wife and children who might not be here if I didn't defend them.
The 15K civil defense part we don't really have to worry about here in Texas if it was a justifiable shoot, we have a law against that now.

honestly, i could afford it.
it wouldnt be easy, and thats not pocket change, but i could do it.
i had a motorcycle accident that required surgury a few years back and it was a similar deal.
i didnt have insurance, it was a dirtbike, and i needed it for my left ankle.
the dr. would not do it till i came up with just under 13k.
he said i didnt have to have it to live, but would if i ever wanted to flex my ankle again.
so for 3 weeks i would wake up with my left foot pointed the wrong way while raising it. nightmare in real life. gotta love our health care system, but i really cant complain. i did it.
i couldnt wear a hard cast till after the surgury because of swelling issues. i will never forget asking the dr "how many places is it broken?" his reply? "imagine your fibula and tibia, from the shin down, as being pea gravel"
alrighty then!!!!!
had to come up with cash for the hardware, anesthesiologist, facility, recovery, and 50% of the orthopedic surgeons fees, which amounted around 13k.
i sold things (motorcycles)
sorry for being sorta off topic, but its kinda the same as far as the money goes.
i would sell thing again if i had to. but honestly, i could probably swing it.
of course i wouldnt even think about it with gary gangster kicking my door in. he would be in a bigger hurry to get back out.
he wouldnt make it.

I was discussing this post with my brother who lives in a state that has castle laws. If one were living in a state with said law then would you be protected? What about civil cases that might follow?

IF you brother lives in a state with a properly constructed "Castle Doctrine" statute (like South Carolina), if there are no criminal charges in an SD shooting then no civil suits can brought.
