Re: self defence

There is not an easy answer, and the facts will ultimately determine whether, and what the outcome is of, criminal charges that might be brought against you if you exceed the allowable use of force. Remember, LA is rabidly anti-gun. If this has happened, and you are being charged with a crime, get counsel immediately. Feel free to contact me if that is the case.
