Do yourself a favor and download the whole article. It is 17 pages long but worth reading. When you are done, send it to somebody you care about even if they are not in the Gun Culture. Four Lies You Our Courts and Self Defense.

Thank you for that. Really made me appreciate living in Arizona. After Harold Fish was wrongfully convicted, we (thanks to AZCDL) changed the law regarding self defense.

Could a wrongful prosecution of self-defense still happen here? Of course it’s possible, but less probable.

Excellent. Good info here.
