What this means is that each element is a target, and the prosecution may work hard to find just one element that they can attack. It is not a matter of whether or not the accused threatened, injured, or killed another person as they have already admitted that they did.  However, the accused contends that the action took place because of the direct actions of the other person.  Concealed carriers should be aware that judges sometimes make improper rulings during the trial, and that the win rate for cases that prosecutors take to trial may be as high as 90%. The consequences for unlawfully using a firearm to threaten, harm, or kill another person are harsh. Set out below are some examples: - Murder: Life in prison. - Manslaughter: 15 to 40 years in prison. - Aggravated Assault/Battery: 10 to 20 years in prison. - Brandishing/Menacing: Jail time may vary but attorney costs including fines may be as high as $100,000 or even more.
