re: Qualified Immunity for Concealed Permit Holders?

In comparison to the above scenario, think of qualified immunity as a presumption that the concealed carry defender was right and justified and immune from suit unless they can prove gross neligence, malicious intent, etc. It hasn’t eliminated the possibility that they can be held liable for bad actions. It’s a decision that, as a matter of public policy, we don’t want to subject defenders to that kind of civil liability if any aspect of their actions was justified. As a society, we would rather err on the side of the defenders.

Then this should be the norm legally, not a protected class for a person who sat through an instructional day. This has the same feel to me as "hate crime" laws. Just a conservative version. I had a great instructor who I know personally. Someone who takes the coursework seriously. I'm not sure people who sat through even the best 8 hours of class are more or less likely to be right or justified than most random people put in a bad situation.
