I just completed the CCW course (great course) and was appalled when I learned that even if I was justified in using my gun to protect my life or my family's life, that the BG or their family could (and probably will) sue me.
Some dirt bag breaks into my house in the middle of the night and I am in fear of my life and shoot to stop the BG and I just opened myself up to a huge civil lawsuit even if the police and county district attorney deemed it to be a justifiable shooting. This is wrong and we need a law enacted to protect us from civil liabilities.
Is the Arizona Citizens Defense League proposing legislation to address this? Are there State Senators or State Representatives that are pro-gun that I can write to. We need laws to protect us. Even if we have to get a proposition on the ballot, we as gun owners need to get this done. I am willing to bet that most anti-gun people still believe in the right to defend ones life and you shouldn't be allowed to be sued by BG's for protecting your life.
Please let me know what you are doing and how I can help.
Thank you,
