Unfortunately, a jury of our 'peers' is far from like-minded, level headed people. Zimmerman case seemed to disprove what I just said, but the things they said to news outlets afterwards makes you wonder.

Very true. There are idiots who think you are somehow never justified in using deadly force, even when there is a clear threat of bodily harm or death. Scary that these people are allowed to vote or sit on a jury.

Excellent thread. This or a similar thread should be a sticky for newbies like me trying to learn CHL laws.

For whatever my opinion matters (which is not much), I think being under the influence of anything and having to draw or shoot will be looked at on a case by case basis. I have a hard time believing that if I am at home, intoxicated, and a man breaks through my door with a machete and tells me he is going to kill me and starts running my way, that I am going to prison for shooting him.

If I am on a jury and that happened to someone, I don't care if he is drinking while snorting coke off a call girl's cleavage. He is justified in shooting the guy.
