I am using U.S. LawShield out of Texas. John Harris is also one of their attorneys. They cover incidents where you are in fear of death or bodily harm and use your weapon, if you are in a place where it is legal to possess a weapon. If you happen to be found guilty, they will still cover your costs and even cover appeals. I don't believe there are many that will do that. If you want to speak with them, here is their website: https://www.uslawshield.com/

Ditto on what DaveTN said. Read the statutes for yourself. You can find them here: https://advance.lexis.com/container?config=014CJAA5ZGVhZjA3NS02MmMzLTRlZWQtOGJjNC00YzQ1MmZlNzc2YWYKAFBvZENhdGFsb2e9zYpNUjTRaIWVfyrur9ud&crid=5679cfc0-a380-47cc-8adb-2ecd1aaf1df1 Select Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13. I try to read it after July 1st every year. The State Legislature convenes in January of each year and usually ends sometime in May. Most bills they pass become effective July 1st of that same year. That's why I wait until after July 1st. However, they do make some exceptions on their effective dates depending upon the legislation passed. There are also Attorney General Opinions that affect how the laws are interpreted. They are harder to locate. You can find them here: https://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/opinions.html and follow the instructions under "How do I search for an opinion if I do not know the number or when it was issued?"

And a big drug problem. I'm guessing this guy might have been high, seeing that he had already cut himself, and after being hit by those first rounds, getting back up and seemingly not phased, charging at the police. Looks like he might have taken something to dull the senses.

Imagine having to make that split second decision of having to fire over your partner's head. https://www.officer.com/on-the-street/body-cameras/news/21087191/body-camera-video-shows-georgia-police-officer-fatally-shoot-knifewielding-man-holding-another-officer-in-headlock

One class act ! His message is not a long read. https://www.theblaze.com/news/crenshaw-memorial-day-thread-fallen-heroes

Just a plain old, feel good video ! https://www.policeone.com/k-9/articles/483834006--Heroic-K-9-moves-judges-to-tears-on-Britains-Got-Talent/?utm_source=PoliceOne+Member+Newsletter&utm_campaign=7edd96226c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_13_07_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ca044a84ea-7edd96226c-42788347

Ditto on that. It could have gone all kinds of wrong, but it didn't. Only the person fleeing got it. On the other hand, if they had tried to pit him, or just kept the pursuit going without gun fire until he finally decided to stop, that could have gone all kinds of wrong, too. Goes back to the old saying, "You just had to be there." That might give an entirely different perspective on the whole situation.

This is one wild ride. My guess is that Anaheim PD will probably be changing their rules about engaging from a moving vehicle. https://www.officer.com/on-the-street/body-cameras/news/21079810/video-shows-anaheim-police-officers-fire-76-shots-during-highspeed-pursuit?utm_source=Officer.com+Newsday+E-Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS190509012&o_eid=5113J4674090I4J&rdx.ident[pull]=omeda|5113J4674090I4J&oly_enc_id=5113J4674090I4J

At least it didn't happen in Tennessee - we've had our share lately. https://www.theblaze.com/news/police-arrest-2-arkansas-men-after-men-provide-wild-007-like-story-about-how-one-of-the-men-ended-up-at-a-local-hospital-after-being-shot

Thanks for the info. Those are good prices, too for leather

What a waste of a nice Caprice !

This shows how important it is to elect Sheriff's that are staunch supporters of the 2nd Amendment.

You said you came to Tennessee in 1998. There is a long history waaaaaaay before 1998 of Smyrna being one of Tennessee's biggest speed traps. It was on the main highway to Nashville before the Interstate was built and greatly supplemented the local economy. When the Interstate came through, it killed off some of that revenue. I don't know how it is today. I haven't been down there in years. From what you said above, it sounds like it hasn't improved a lot.
