One thing that will be hammered into you in class is your CCW only gives you the right to protect yourself and others from grave bodily harm. I'm not talking about the castle doctrine where you are on your own property - no CCW needed there and a whole different set of rules apply.
If you do shoot someone, you
will be arrested, your weapon confiscated, and you will be subject to prosecution the same as johnsma22 went through. You will be up to your neck in S***. Johnsma22 was fully justified in the shooting, but still had to endure the aftermath. As was stated above "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6" -- well you better be able to prove you were preventing yourself or your friends from being carried by six. Even then the surviving family can sue you.
