While asking your personal lawyer is 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better than consulting any forum (sorry guys), not every lawyer is equally versed in every facet of law. Your lawyer may be an expert on taxes, business, family or estate law, but may not be the best place to get this information.

I would take a CCW class in my local jurisdiction, this information is covered by NON-LAWYERS. I would not rely upon this information to be scripture, but use it more as a guideline to how Police and Prosecutors will likely react, and to formulate questions and organize my thoughts. Then see whom the organization who is sponsoring the class uses as an attorney. This attorney should be well versed in local (not just CA vs NE, but even Petrofsky v. Detroit, or Cairo v Chicago) legal issues related to CCW and SD.

Nobody wants to have to take a human life, but having to deal with foreseeable issues after the fact, just piles misery on misery.
