Magazine Disconnect removed and Liability

[Dvrjon]

If the shooting is justified (Immediacy of threat, Reasonableness of fear, Proportionality of force), as the OP stated, it doesn’t matter whether the firearm has an aftermarket trigger or a removed magazine disconnect. For example, if someone breaks into your home and presents an immediate deadly threat, and you act in self-defense, the tool you use doesn’t change whether the force was justified. Even if you used a kilo bar of 99% pure cocaine, the legality of the self-defense claim depends on whether the threat justified deadly force — not the specific item used. That said, you are likely face possession with intent to sell unrelated to self-defense.

All of that will keep you out of the province of criminal prosecution for killing someone. But in this, and other states, the province of civil court action follow much more flexible standards. And, since this is Califorina, anybody can sue anybody for whatever reason, including being shot resident after criminal proceedings were denied. See: Balistreri for an example. There are many others.

The fact that one is not charged with criminal behavior in a good self-defense shooting doesn’t mean one is clear of the legal system.

Yes and think about how retarded the average person is… you’re going to be relying on 12 of them to make a rational decision that affects the rest of your life
