I know **** happens but don't forget that your lawyer gets to participate in jury selection too.
Look, I don't want to sound as if I would be confident in going to court in any shooting case. I just want to say that does not look that bad, there are factors on the side of removing the safety, and I do not think it is all that clear that the jury would side with the prosecutor....but hey, I live in the southland and the jurors would come from the southland...............also I like my series 70. - PigPen-
