Indiana Law Benefiting Gun Owners Goes Into Effect This Month
[Bearing Arms] If you’re ever involved in a shooting, you can find yourself in the midst of a very traumatic experience. Taking a human life can be devastating all on its own, even in the case of self-defense, but then things can get ugly. In far too many places, prosecutors can go after the person acting in self-defense and make them prove their case in court. It’s a costly, invasive process that’s probably more traumatizing than the shooting itself. Hence, Stand Your Ground laws protecting that right to self-defense.Those measures don’t prevent civil cases, though, and those can be just as bad. Even worse, there’s a lower burden of proof required in a civil case, meaning the chances of being bankrupt over the case‐and not just from legal expenses‐increases exponentially. Now, an Indiana law going into effect this month seeks to put an end to that risk. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-07-12 |
