Good Samaritan laws vs Justified defensive shooting

>where you shoot someone and have stopped the threat but did not kill them.
That's why I use 10mm

Giving first aid would look great in court because you demonstrate you aren't murderous in intent.

That's a fucking brilliant idea if done right.

I'm not a lawyer, so don't take a thing I say as law or fact, but personally I would not being that you have perfect reason to believe the suspect is still a threat to your well being. You retreat and call for help.

Good Samaritan laws generally don't compel you to do anything, they protect you from legal consequences if you do intervene in a situation. The point isn't to force people to act, but to remove things that might discourage them from acting, such as the fear of legal consequences.

Not sure if bait but I concur on 10mm

10mm is a meme, it's the tactitard version of 45acp's "stahppan' powah"

This.

For example, someone is choking and you try to perform the Heimlich maneuver, in the process you break the mans rib. Good Samaritan laws stop him from being able to sue you for assault and damages, because you were trying to do the right thing.
