I realize that if I needed to defend my life and I use a gun to do it, even if legally carried- life changes. So I'm looking to read up on case studies of use of deadly force, and real-life info on carrying concealed. I have read about USCCA and their membership. They apparently have info on their site and a magazine that has good info. Also they have something called
"Self-Defense SHIELD Protection" that offers some kind of legal help if you have to use your gun in a defense situation.

So, on the one hand- if you think you are going to die at the hands of someone else- it really doesn't matter what happens afterwards- you're alive. On the other hand- in today's litigious society any number of things could happen that could be disastrous to the intended victim, and expensive.

Does anyone have any thoughts on USCCA and has anyone used the "Shield" in defense of a case? (https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/membership/)

I've also seen the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network, Inc. (http://armedcitizensnetwork.org/) and I'm looking for feedback for them as well.

Thanks
