You need to absolutely understand that if an innocent bystander ends up being injured or killed because of a discharge of your concealed weapon, you will face very serious liability. There simply is no immunity granted to a person who has a concealed weapon permit, who carries a concealed weapon and who injures an innocent person with that concealed weapon. In fact, if that situation occurs, you will find that you could be facing some very significant legal consequences - both on a civil and perhaps even in a criminal arena.

If you a person uses a concealed weapon in a situation in which his or her life genuinely is threatened, that individual will have civil immunity against a lawsuit that might be filed against any aggressor who may be shot by the concealed weapon permit holder. As long as the use of the concealed weapon was done in bona fide and actual self defense, a concealed weapon permit holder will not be liable in such a situation.

In some states, if it can be demonstrated that the concealed weapon permit holder didn't actually have a reasonable belief that his or her life was endanger by the conduct of another, that concealed weapon permit holder could face civil liability. The law is somewhat in flux from state to state when it comes to the reasonableness of his or her belief pertaining to imminent harm.

If you have any questions about your exposure and potential liability in regard to your concealed weapon permit, you will want to contact a lawyer with experience in this area. You will want to obtain appropriate recommendations for a duly qualified lawyer who understands liability issues relating to a concealed weapon permit.
