I dont know if I understand this right.
I need a translation from legal-english into simple english.
IC 35-41-3-2
"No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary."
Does that mean that I cant be charged even with a civil lawsuit if what I did is related to my action of legally defending my life?
For example if I lawfully defend myself in the street using a firearm, I have witnesses and everything was by the book, but one of my rounds went through the windshield or a parked car behind my attacker.
Can I be sued by the owner of the car for shooting his car, even if it was by accident, or im I protected from that?
