Aftermath

[Vicks]

I've read a lot about conceal carry, training with your cc weapon, suggestions on the best caliber, what make of defensive round, where on the body to carry, what holster works, sights, trigger types, and on and on.

And now you find yourself standing with your weapon in hand, slide locked open. People around you are running and screaming. You've just shot someone who was shooting at people in a shopping mall. The shooter's on the ground, not moving.

It's the aftermath.
What have you done to prepare for what comes next?

Maybe some of your shots missed and hit the big screen TV store, or if it took place outside and you hit a couple of cars
Letters from peoples lawyers arrive accusing you of emotional damage
What if the shooter is only wounded, or maimed and they sue you
or
You killed the shooter and their family sues you
Your face is in all the papers and anti gun groups hold protests outside your home, your work, your spouses work

and ... the list goes on

So, what have you done - what can you do to prepare for the aftermath of being involved in a shooting?

Insurance. There are several out there just for this scenario.

Buzz kill. This is the part where you are the hero and everyone thanks you. You get a parade and a reward. Then you sell the movie rights and start a firearms training business. But no, you had to kill it with reality.

This.

Blanket policy coverage on my Home owners policy cover a lot both inside and outside the home as long as I'm not deemed to be in the wrong AND convicted on any criminal charges. Specifically intended to cover civil cases up to several million dollars and keep me from losing everything.

Outfits like CCW safe where buy a service, and are there to cover you legally and (to a certain extent) financially in both criminal and civil suits. Having a legal team at you disposal is going to be key after any incident, even if you draw and never pull the trigger.

NRA sponsored Insurance in addition to Homeowners is always a good thing as well. Having as much coverage to protect you from civil suits as is possible is always a good thing.

I suppose you won't have to worry about this as long as you live in Los Angeles.

You might be over thinking things a bit.
Try to look at life in simpler terms.
Would it be better to be judged by 12, or carried by 6?

It's crazy that we live in a society where you can sued for shooting someone that is a mass shooter or for saving peoples lives

[Jimi Jah]

That's why it makes little sense to become a cop when you're not. CCW is for personnal defense, not the defense of the public.
