I'm not saying you were totally wrong, but in NC you would have been charged with at LEAST "brandishing a firearm", maybe criminal assault since you were a permit holder. You would have gone to jail, and your little girl would have been taken in by either a matron or DSS. Of course, this all depends on how convincing you are, and also what evidence they found on the assailants. Does Texas not have an "escallation of force" clause in their defense law?
