skeeter,

I was not aware of the $50,000 fee to prove justifiable homicide of a home invader. I know of no such cases hereabouts in PA. IF it becomes common, I suggest the homeowner wrap the bad guy in a shower curtain, dump same outside town and go to Walmart for a new shower curtain. That is cheaper than $50K.

Adam

The $50g is about what it will cost you for all the legal fees, etc etc prior to going to court. Seems the atnys drag it out and that is where lots of the $ goes. The $50g cost to start came from the exact DA that said at our little town meeting it is ok to shoot an invader and you won't be arrested. During another talk he was involved in a few months earlier was about some of the laws the police have to follow during their hrs on duty. However he failed to mention that little fact at our meeting on home invasions. He also is the very one that pressed charges on a man with a legal CC permit that went to an Obama rally in the town of Beaver at an outside park. It cost this very man to date $50g again even though he was found in the right to carry. He never took it out of holster. Never threatened anyone and how anyone knew he had it other than one of those wands to search someone never came to light. They let him off everything but charged him with 'risking the cause of a riot'.... ??? ok?? Now the NRA does have insurance to help get your money back if involved in a shooting while carry but you must be 'free' of all charges. They always stick you with something.
