Not in the sense of American military compared to the average citizen. Please do not try to derail the topic here. Police are afforded certain protections that the average citizen is not, that is a well known difference but not the question at hand.

Some people pay $5k to $10k for a purebred dog, not to mention everything else a lawyer could add on such as mental anguish, pain and suffering. I don’t happen to have that amount laying around hence why I’m concerned with a civil suit.

I searched the forum and could only find cases where police officers had immunity from civil suit in the event they shot and killed someone’s dog.

My question is this; does the statutory immunity from a civil suit if the use of deadly force is justified against another person, also apply in the event a civilian has to use deadly force to protect themselves against a dog?
