Let everyone carry concealed as god intended. Fix the law to protect everyone from frivolous lawsuits.
As long as those protections never extend to a criminal.

The CC permit class isn't some master class that teaches you perfect judgement in bad situations.
It's more than just a class, permit holders also have to undergo an extensive criminal background check and submit fingerprints to the FBI.
As far as perfect judgement.....there's no such thing as a good kill. There is only a reasonable decision. And there is a lot of help available with that.
If you're going to carry and you're going to use it but you don't prepare for the situation, leave it at home.
There is a lot of help available with that.

Lay out what's wrong with protecting me from a civil lawsuit for a "good" kill.
If you have a "good" kill you don't need qualified immunity. Qualified immunity would protect you individually if you were negligent or made a "mistake" that resulted in a "bad" kill. You're not a member of the government carrying out a governmental function. You shouldn't have qualified immunity...you should think very carefully before discharging your weapon in public in the direction of another citizen or citizens.

Every Marine is a rifleman first, not infantry.

False.
La Law already provides various legal protections for use in home, or vehicle, or even in standard self defense situations.

There should be plenty of examples of that happening under current law then.
There should be. I described the procedure through which a civil defendant would have to go in resolving a civil claim against him for self defense with a firearm. You previously offered criminal statutes for justifiable homicide and suggested the laws already protect such defendants. I’m not sure why you think criminal statutes are relevant to a civil lawsuit:

False, mostly.
§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 (self defense, non death) or 20 (Justifiable homicide) 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.

Thank you.
But could an attorney argue that my ammo was specifically designed to cause death and it was unreasonable and or unnecessary to use it on the victim?
Maybe that's where QI would cover more scenarios.

It's important that all are knowledgeable of the law and the extent/limitations of it. That way if they ever have to make that split second decision, it can be made with some certainty and avoid dire hesitation.

An attorney can argue anything. But they risk:

What if the attempted murderer has a concealed carry permit? This is a dumb law.
The concern is that a hothead has a carry permit and he draws whenever he gets into an argument. If he has qualified immunity and the other person in the argument is dead, he walks every time.
People are crazy. Extend immunity to the general public with a concealed carry permit and this will be abused big time.

Criminals should have no right to sue victims at all. Criminals deserve punishment - not victims who must use a firearm in self-defense.

No one should have qualified immunity. Especially not cops who are supposed to be professionals. Currently, as someone who carries concealed, I am held to a higher degree of liability than a cop is if I make a bad shot. And the taxpayers won't be footing the bill for my mistake either. Bad cops face no consequences thanks to qualified immunity.
