FWIW...
You don't want to get hurt, yet you don't get to select the Grand Jury nor the trial jury.
In Texas at least, understand when and why you are shooting before you carry, plus a healthy dose of SA goes a long way. YMMV.
Hard to condense it, yet here is an overview.
When you can shoot:
1. Reasonable belief
2. Imminent threat
3. Deadly force
Why you are shooting:
1. Murder
2. Robbery
3. Agg. Robbery
4. Sexual Assault
5. Agg. Sexual Assault
6. Agg. Kidnapping
(To prevent imminent commission of above 6 crimes against you or someone else)
Historically, the above has shown to serve people very well on the street and in court.
