| Hye Bongo Boy: You have seen it many times on many posts on this forum; depending on your state, shooting someone in the back is going to leave open a lot of questions and second-guessing by prosecutors and juries. Do not get me wrong, I would applaud you for doing so and cleaning some of the scum off this earth, but I am just sayin---- |

WRONG! In Michigan, if no criminal charges are brought against you, you cannot be sued. The bill below was signed into law and took effect on October 1, 2006 Most other states that have the "Castle Doctrine" laws now give the same immunity.

| Hey agksimon and billwot: You have to check your state laws; several if not many states have that provision in their CC/PP laws--if you are not guilty under the prevailing law, you are excused from any and all civil liabilities. Some states are just redefining and fine tuning their laws to incorporate this feature as part of a more sane approach to what this is all about--protecting you and not making the scum rich. |

| I think most laws are about the same. " Once the threat against you is no longer a threat , you cannot use force against them." Therefore if a criminal is leaving the scene, you are not allowed to shoot them. I don't agree, but the law is the law. Hope I didn' t offend anyone. |
