The title of this thread probably threw you off. I was trying to research people who have been convicted of murder or manslaughter where a reasonable claim of self defense has been asserted. We hear the horrors of using our weapon in self defense. Can anyone provide a link to a news article...

At least, that's the claim that this video makes...Of course, I think the video is biased, giving someone several hours of training and expecting them to respond favorably to an active shooter isn't exactly a scientific evaluation. No time was given to build physical muscle memory or more...

I just wanted to throw this out there to possibly save anyone the time, expense, and frustration that we went through in finding a concealed handgun for my fiancee. Backstory: She expressed interest in shooting a few months ago, so she accompanied me to the range, and had a good time. I showed...
