I will do what I think is the right thing to do in a given situation. And I hope to do for others caught in danger what I would want someone to do for me if I was caught in danger.Do what you feel is best

Certainly. Just try not to make yourself another statistic.I will do what I think is the right thing to do in a given situation. And I hope to do for others caught in danger what I would want someone to do for me if I was caught in danger.
My CHL instructor said, "I am willing to die or go to jail or be sued for everything I'll ever earn in order to save my life or that of my family. I am not willing to die or go to jail or be sued for your life. But each of you can make your own choice whether to shoot."
It was important that he included in that "be sued for everything I'll ever earn." You can be completely no-billed by the District Attorney--cleared of ANY crime, totally justified--and yet be sued for the next 30 years by somebody in civil court, with attorney costs piling up. Something to consider before choosing to shoot.
todd,
Sorry, you're making too much sense.....
There's a contingent here who fancy themselves 'free range saviors' and the kind of truth your telling isn't for them and we get chastised by them if we don't agree with what you just posted - which btw, I agree with.
Todd,
See what I mean?
Whatever "your way" was is lost in page after page of bickering, that few will read.Glad you finally see it my way!
You are pretty lawsuit proof in TX
Honestly, if caught in a AS situation, you are most likely NOT gonna think of someone suing you. Is the chance of getting sued worth NOT helping someone in need if you could do so? For many here, it seems like it is.My CHL instructor said, "I am willing to die or go to jail or be sued for everything I'll ever earn in order to save my life or that of my family.

See there you go again. Dick in mouth.
I said nothing negative about people who sacrafice for others so I suggest some auto fornication to help sooth your butt hurt.
Context is important. Like the context of the discussion as in a Ccw holder and how they respond. So no it isnt the same as a LEO or Military member. Peroid. Weather you act is not black and white. Are you going to put your baby down to run to the gunfire? Are you going to leave your family to run to the gunfire? No not unless you're an idiot.
Again no one but you said people think negatively about those who die so others may live. YOU AND YOU ALONE. Considering the consequences of ones actions is how rational people make decisions. The legacy of those who die for others is always with us. They are the best of us but that still wont take the place of you in their lives. Your legacy wont feed and clothes them. It may comfort them later.
Context matters. You are off on a different subject entirely.
I think this CHL instructor summed up nicely what make sense. It also matches what Tom Gresham has said. Tom also points out that all those other adults had the same opportunity as you to get a gun and a license to carry. They chose not to. Indeed, some of them may even be zealously anti-gun and think your guns should be taken away by the government.My CHL instructor said, "I am willing to die or go to jail or be sued for everything I'll ever earn in order to save my life or that of my family.
