I found this case:

http://missoulian.com/news/state-an...8a8f17c-6d3a-11df-92ae-001cc4c002e0.html

Guy claimed self defense but the jury didn't buy it.

I'd like to hear some first hand accounts from guys who have had to shoot in self defense. I don't know, but I have a feeling that the stories of having to "lawyer up" in real self defense cases may be a bit overblown.

Maybe not.
