Deadly Force??

Sorry Fallguy. At least it was a book about deadly force :-). I'll shut up now.

On OP. There only two "iron-clad" defenses to using a firearm in Self Defense. Your life was obviously (to everybody not just you) in danger or He/They broke into your locked house at night (need broken window or door for sure proof) Everything else depends on how much your conviction could further the Prosecutor's career. I am cynical because I served far more than my share of jury duty and I have seen what happens in court.

Do not confuse Law with Justice.

Your plan on the use of deadly force should work in all 50 states…. I believe mine will. (Although I admit I have not read the deadly force statutes for all 50 states.)

You are justified in the use of deadly force if a reasonable person would believe you, or another, is in immediate danger of death or great bodily harm.

Keep in mind that no one will care what you thought; only what a reasonable person would think. Also keep in mind that the “Reasonable People†will have days to consider if the decision you made in seconds was the right one.

Only on TGO could a thread that started about the use of deadly force become a book review thread.

WHile were on the subject of books, anyone have a cook book dealing with BBQ recipes?
