Intruder Shot – Now Homeowner Struggles

[Taurian]

There is no doubt that this is an injustice. Joe Balistreri and his family had spent the night at his parents’ house in Foster City, California. After he shot an intruder in the home, Balistreri was then sued by the intruder in a civil suit, which placed a large monetary burden on him.

It takes real big money to get you out and to mount a good defense. Why I am a member of Armed Citizens Defense Network(360-978-5200). Well worth the expense for the peace of mind it brings. I hope and pray I never need to use their services.

Thank Heavens that Kansas put in place a preemption from being sued by the perp or surviving family members. Of course that won't help if you are out of state when something like this happens.

Every state should have this same law! It's just inconceivable that some scumbag criminal can sue someone after they committed a felony and end up getting shot
