The wife of an armed robbery suspect shot dead by a shop clerk said the clerk was wrong, and now she has filed a civil lawsuit claiming wrongful death.

via Dead robber’s widow sues shop clerk.

Florida Statutes 776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.

(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer

This particular law is of great help for citizens using deadly force because not only provides the much needed protection from ambulance chasers and corrupt relatives but also frees our minds from unnecessary distractions when it should be concentrated on front sight- gently pull trigger as one cannot be worrying about stupid penalties for defending oneself or our loved ones. I am amazed that Arizona New Mexico does not have immunity in its books already. maybe this is a potential goal that local Pro Gun groups should go after. And if they are, keep trying and be loud about it.

    Albuquerque is in New Mexico … Not Arizona…

    Tho the question still remains… why does New Mexico not have the protection law.
