1) If I am facing an unlawful threat and/or use of force, what might happen in civil court is going to be the last thing on my mind at that moment.

2) No matter how many different ways you slice the onion, we (the self defense community for want of a better term) are far better off under the new law than we were under the old.

3) As has been pointed out, the chief benefit of the new law is that with suits so much harder, nearly impossible, to win (in the case of a justifiable shooting or use of force in self defense) in most cases they won't be filed in the first place.

So it's not impossible to be sued. It's just very unlikely, because it is almost impossible for the BG or his estate to win.

At least that's my non-lawyer take on it.

I think that in practical terms, given the slim to none chance of winning (assuming a legal shoot), and the fact that lawyers, like most other people, do not enjoy working for nothing, most lawyers won't agree to take a (contingent fee) case under the new law.
