Hello people,
I am posting in hopes of finding an answer to a situation.
I am a mailman. It is illegal for a mailman to carry on the job. Not long ago, I had a close call with a bad guy - the details are not relevant here. I am trying to decide whether carrying would be a wise choice in the future...
Does anyone know what the penalty would be for shooting and (possibly) killing someone in a justifiable self defense situation, but while carrying illegally...? Say, on USPS property or a school or what have you...Im aware that I could be fired, but at that point they can obviously have the job. Im interested in the legal repercussions only. Can I be charged with murder or manslaughter...or whatever...? Have there been any similar cases? Etc...
So:
1. Legal to carry - licensed in IN
2. Deadly force/defense is justified
but
3. Legislated gun free area
Thank you.
