'carry insurance' & 'attorneys on retainer' ?s
DaveB:
The problem is that half the jury is going to be picked by what the prosecutor believes will get someone convicted while the other half will be people picked by the defense. I don't think it is right making the victim the criminal unless he is the one that instigated the confrontation, or actually wasn't the victim. It's always easier to convict someone that is sitting in front of you for something they didn't do than it is to get justice served. Most of the time the jurors just want to get their check and go home, waiting for proper justice takes time and taking in facts, not just listening to a prosecutor tossing out untrue accusations. One of the reasons I was not appreciated on the two juries I was on, but that's just me.
Why should someone have to defend themselves in court for defending themselves on the street? It's all to make the attorneys rich since one has to pay out of pocket and the other is more than likely getting paid by taxpayers.
I am not saying the insurance is not a good idea, all I want to know is what advantage is it going to give you when you are the one living in the court room because they already made a cadaver out of the thug that tried to kill you?
I personally feel you should be able to use any bullets you want with the best powders available. But until the lawyers are not fed by the system, it will continue to thrive.
OnTheFly:
I agree. The legal system is screwed up. You are guilty until proven innocent and that could cost you your house, your marriage, your health, and your sanity.
If you every are involved in a SD critical dynamic incident ;D then you tell the officer...
I was there
Thug was there
Thug did/said this
I tried to retreat/diffuse the situation
Thug advanced and/or escalated the situation
I feared for my life
I defended myself
I called 911
That person there, and that person over there are witnesses to the thugs aggression
That's all I have to say officer

I'm guessing this might be cheaper than the retainer or carry insurance routes.

+++++ on Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network
This is a trustworthy organization, looking to help its members.
My personal opinion on USCCA.... I wouldn't buy a thing from this guy. His primary objective seems to be "selling whatever he can".
jFader:
Some very good points brought up...more to think about!
I remembered what made me think twice about the armed citizens plan....it sounds like the amount they help you is at their discretion...
Network members are eligible for additional grants of financial assistance from the Network's Legal Defense Fund if they face unmeritorious prosecution or civil action after a self-defense incident occurring during their period of membership.
It still sounds like a pretty solid plan...i am going to call them for more details.
I reRead the patriot legal plan & they have an 1-800# that you call of involved in an incident & they will contact 'a top attorney in your jurisdiction'....I suppose I should call them & find out more details...
