Answer 2

First off it is NOT the same in all 50 states as you were advised. You need to personally check with your local Police and/or Sheriff's Department for regulation and restrictions.CCW only gives you the right to use deadly force as a direct response to a direct life threatening situation or threat against YOU personally....A CCW does not grant a civilian police powers in any state, nor does it protect you from civil liability in ANY case, in regards to the use of deadly force.

Examples of prohibited areas where concealed weapons are not allowed, are Municipal,District, Circuit, State, and Federal Court buildings, State Offices or Federal offices, any buildings housing government offices,Post Offices (Under Federal Statutes), Police Precincts or Police Headquarters buildings, ANY Detention facility or State and Federal Prisons etc

Answer 3

The same as that in all 50 states. You may employ deadly force against another person, only if you have reasonable grounds to believe that deadly force is about to be used on you, such as the person reaching for something in his pocket after you told him to keep his hands up and freeze.You may also use deadly force to keep someone from being killed, but if you come upon a stiuation like this on the streets, you better NOT intervene, because what you see may not be what you think. For example, you see a scraggy guy struggling with an attractve woman and the guy is reaching toward the small of his back for something , and you shoot him. How do you know that the guy isn't an undercover cop trying to arrest the attractive murderer.
