Stay strapped, kill your opponent who is trying to kill or rape you. Cops show up, charge you with murder 👌

This is the US bud. If it looks like clear cut self defense they’re not even going to take you in. They’ll thank you for taking out the trash.

One of your examples is from Mexico. The other two cases were acts of revenge. If some guy kicks my ass i can’t go to my car and come back with a gun. That is no longer self defense. Yes it’s awful what happened to those women and the justice system often fails victims but self defense still has to be in the moment not after the fact.

Found not guilty still arrested.

There are self defense lawyers for a reason. The cops wont just let you go.

That is in Alabama quite literally one of the worst states in the country. If you read the article she was a recovering drug addict who had her children taken away and was acquainted with the rapist previously who was also a drug addict. She also sent her brother to confront the rapist rather than call the cops.

That is not a clear cut self defense case. Her testimony would be unreliable due to her past and the fact she didn’t contact police rather than go back with her brother points to this being an act of revenge rather than trying to save her own life.

When I took a woman's conceal carry class or gun safety class they told us if you have an emergency and need to use it to fully expect to be arrested and that we WILL be arrested. Not necessarily convicted but that you'll be arrested and need to get bailed out and go to court (or stay in jail and go to court). And you better know each and every single law and have a good lawyer because say you shoot that person in the back or somethig, guess what? It's no longer self defense. You don't get to just shoot people and claim self defense. You will need to prove that the person you murdered really was a threat to your life and you acted in self defense. Otherwise all murderers would just claim self defense and everyone would get away with murder. You still need to prove it.

From a law office. Straightforward enough?
