It's a shame some instructors are scaring people to the point of questioning whether they want to protect themselves. That really isn't doing their students justice. My instructor did a great job of discussing alternative dispute resolution and de-escalation to make sure we only used our gun when justified. Then he advised us how best to deal with the situation if we have to use deadly force. He was a retired attorney and had no interest in peddling prepaid legal.

People need to consider if it's better to be dead and not have any legal issues or be alive and possibly have to deal with some. Also, I can't recall a non-police officer that used justifiable lethal force for self-defense being convicted. I'm sure there have been marginal instances that had to be dealt with in the legal system but none that I can recall off the top of my head.
