The same lawsuits could be filed here just as easily. In several ways Indiana seems a much more gun friendly than Texas.jmorris wrote:Makes me awfully glad not to be in IN any more.
As far as the security guard's lawsuit (and I certainly hope she is an EX-security guard), Indiana also has a civil immunity law for someone who was defending himself or others, but of course he will have to go to court to show he acted in SD. (I would think the DA's decision not to prosecute would be helpful). I don't know that Kroger would get any relief from the civil immunity law.
The mother filed in federal courts, and I wonder if this was to try to get around the Indiana civil immunity law. Also, ironic to note that her lawsuit does not mention her son died in the commission of a robbery.
Their best bet is for the judges to realize these suits are completely nuts and dismiss both suits pronto.
