Follow-up on court rulings against gun owners?

[BrysterUSA]

First posting on this site. Is there a website that tracks court rulings for gun owners (preferred by state) that have had to discharge their weapons in self-defense? Case in point: resent home owner in Vancouver WA that confronted a prowler in his back yard, discharged his weapon, perpetrator died. I'd like to monitor the ruling of the event and any legal details that come out of this engagement.

Note: the point of this post is to get information on websites where we can get updates on court rulings, not to comment on the case mentioned. Thank you.

I agree, that info would truly help. One would think the NRA would be all over staffing such an effort. Problem is, it would cost them money and staffing, and that goes against their business model of just taking money for existing and pursuing no legal battles for 2A rights.

Hahahaha that's hilarious and sad (because it feels like it's true more often than not).

Yep. The FBI holds the incident statistics in most cases but the end result is currently unknowable and it would be a great data point. It would be a great decision tool for buying or not buying CC insurance. Who sells that by the way?

Not a bad question per se, but in many (if not all) jurisdictions, there's no data of any kind generated by a decision not to prosecute. Administrative decisions at local cop-shops or DA offices don't make it into the data bases. Probably even cases where some moves towards prosecution were made, but got dismissed early in the process don't make it either. Considering that, a generalized tracking of cases where shots were fired and/or people were killed or injured as a result would be heavily weighted towards those cases where an actual prosecution happened, which would render the data useless for any objective analysis.

Courts only rule on cases that were prosecuted, which may or may not be the case in the specific incident the OP mentions, or in who-knows-how-many cases of shootings in a given jurisdiction. Here in Alabama if a shooting is deemed justifiable by either cops or a DA, the shooter never sees the inside of a courtroom, so no ruling would be available for a website to track.
