While I understand this is not a "commercial" forum, maybe it would make sense to make an exception to allow lawyers to post advertisements in a "Legal Counsel" section where they could indicate their willingness to undertake CHL defense cases, and some information reflecting their experience in the area. This obviously would be without endorsement of the Forum Hosts, but would be a quick place for Forum participants to quickly refer to when they have an immediate need for counsel. This would be a great service for all CHLs.

Almost universally, when a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting/death, the facts are presented to a Grand Jury. This is a good thing that CHLs should not fear. There are two reasons for the presentation: (1) Particularly in the case of law enforcement, to demonstrate objectivity on the part of the State's Attorney, and (2) More importantly, to help confirm in the mind of the law enforcement officer or CHL, that his/her actions were justified. The human mind being what it is, often causes a "normal" person to over time ask "What if" questions. While not perfect, and counseling is still a good idea, a "No Bill" finding from a Grand Jury does help. And yes, it is highly recommended that the sheepdog have legal counsel in all shooting incidents.
