I am interested in CC, but need lots more information on, about, and how to do it. The liability aspects of if you have to use a gun in self defense particularly interest me. I have been told that if at all possible you should retreat if threatening circumstances arise. I was further instructed that if you do use a gun, you had better have $20,000 in the bank to hire a lawyer. Is this true? Does anybody have some good reference material I should look up on this issue? Also, what is the general price range I would be looking at to get a CC holster (and can you recommend any good ones and where to get them) and permit? Thanks

I am interested to see/ read responses as well. Good question(s).
All of your questions have been discussed in detail in several threads here. I suggest making extensive use of the search function. That said, it sounds like you really need to take the NRA Basic Pistol course. They cover some of the legal issues you can expect. Lastly, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to discuss your concerns with a lawyer who is versed in defending self-defense with a gun.
Like Scutter01 said just take some time and search around, all of your questions have most likely been asked and answered, also by searching around you'll find answers to questions that you haven't even asked yet.
The price range on a cc holster will depend on many things, type of gun, clothing, time of year, etc and don't think that you'll only buy one and that'll be it, there'll always be another that catches your eye.

If the use of force is justified, Indiana law does not require retreat. Whether you should or not depends on a variety of factors and could fill books.
Also, by Indiana law, if you are legally justified in using reasonable force in self defense, you are immune from civil suits.
That being said, there's nothing preventing a prosecutor from prosecuting you or someone from filing a civil suit and having to defend yourself.
I would recommend the book Indiana Handgun Law by Bryan L. Ciyou, and any training you can reasonably afford. If you are a first time gun owner/shooter I would give a +1 to Scutter01 on the NRA Basic Pistol Course.

It is alway best to retreat and avoid conflict, legally you are not required to retreat to justify self defense.
If I have to fire my weapon who cares what the cost is, I am alive and that is all that matters.
But have a plan, talk to no one but your attorney.

I have been told by LEO friends, that even if they showed up at a shooting, not to talk to them. Just say I was in danger and would like to talk to my lawyer. Keep repeating you feared for your life and would like to talk to an lawyer.
Buy two books to start: Amazon.com: In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection: Massad F. Ayoob: Books and Indiana Handgun Law by Ciyou

I've chatted briefly with him a couple times at the Indy 1500, and seems like a super guy; even told me to send him an e-mail to get a contact he mentioned for Gunsite training (IIRC), and he answered.

Interesting thread. I hope it keeps going.
