You are correct. However, by having a CHL you are protected from any and all civil suits if no-billed/aquited. If he were to have a open shut self defense case as he mentioned, then yes, the NRA would reimburse for all defense cost.seamusTX wrote:This is the link from the NRA web site: http://www.locktonrisk.com/nrains/selfdefense.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It seems to indicate that (1) they will defend a life member against civil lawsuits, and (2) they will reimburse the cost of defense against a criminal prosecution after the defendant is found not guilty.

Re: Hiring a lawer for a shooting
I have the absolute cheapest solution for you. Spend the $1000 to become a Life Member of the NRA. Being a life member has many perks, the most signifigant is if you are ever involved in a shooting/firearm incident, the NRA provides you with, free of charge, a legal team to get you through it. Nobody knows laws, loopholes etc. better than the NRA.DEADEYE1964 wrote:I know we have all learned that if we are ever involved in a shooting ( feared for our life) we should say nothing and hire an attorney but this got me thinking. If you knew you were 100% in the right and it was a legal shoot, would you spend the money on an attorney ? If money was no object it is a no brainer but what if you are a normal working guy and did not have thousands to spend, would you risk going before a grand jury without representation ? We have heard all of the horror stories of people spending thousands to prove your not guilty,100% right but still the legal cost to not be indicted by a grand jury. What would you do if this happened to you ?
