Not true.
I've had good dealings with all the lawyers I've dealt with, even that little cutie that opposed us.
"Let's wrap this is up and have a glass of wine."
"OK"

So you're comparing a PI case to criminal defense.

You can't really be a lawyer? If so, dear God.

Some lawyers are aggravating, giant, d-bags. Some are cool, empathetic, and extremely helpful. If you sit in court, you can see who the judges like and hate

The guy we use, I consider a blessing.
Very fortunate to know him.

Another good source of info on skilled, experienced criminal defense attorneys who are also "gun guys" is the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network. I think Vetteguy already posted a link, but I'll do it again, JIC.

If I'm pumping gas late at night and a guy comes up to me and sticks a gun in my back asking for my wallet and I'm able to draw my gun and shoot him, I'm giving a statement. I know I was justified and I would much rather give a statement and go home to my wife and kids than exercise my right to remain silent and spend the night and jail and pay an attorney $20K so he can tell me to say exactly what I was going to say anyway.
You want to risk what may be the rest of your life to save $20K? There is no shortage of cases where a person thought they were justified in some action, and it turned out they didn't know the law.

Rodney Peairs, the BR guy who shot the japanese exchange student around halloween, got acquitted in the criminal trial, probably spent tons, then got stuck in the civil suit, $650K, i think.

That a-hole should have hung for shooting that kid.

Honest question, how is that possible given this:
§2800.19. Limitation of liability for use of force in defense of certain crimes
A. A person who uses reasonable and apparently necessary or deadly force or violence for the purpose of preventing a forcible offense against the person or his property in accordance with R.S. 14:19 or 20 is immune from civil action for the use of reasonable and apparently necessary or deadly force or violence.
B. The court shall award reasonable attorney fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses to the defendant in any civil action if the court finds that the defendant is immune from suit in accordance with Subsection A of this Section.
Acts 2006, No. 786, §1.

Well it happened 20 something years ago so maybe that law didn't exist?
I wouldn't call shooting someone who rang the doorbell reasonable use of deadly force. If that guy wouldn't have answered the door, that kid may still be alive today.

Must be this. I didn't realize it was that long ago.

Pretty sure the immunity statute was passed later. Nothing that dude did was reasonable, and if he did it all over again, probably still would not have immunity.

Anyone posting in this thread actually shot someone in self defense that has an actual point of view about the emotions and legal ramifications. We all read things and are taught things to do, until we are put in that position seems a little hard to keep arguing about how someone will feel or how you will handle the legal ramifications after the shooting.

Someone on the OB has....or maybe it was his son. Forgot who it is.

I had a great uncle that did but lets just say it was a different time and even though he shot the guy through a screen door, he wouldve been under the jail now days.

I shot a man in Reneaux, just to watch him die.
I hear that train a comin', and hang my head to cry.
