Kind of a broad statement to make, given that you don't know my current practice area, do ya? (Hint: think plaintiff-side in Enron). I've never sued anyone who didn't have it coming -- the "scumbag" language was a bit of a joke on my part.
I appreciate your sentiments and position, and it's a free country. If you want to carry a gun with minimal take-up installed by or at the direction of the end-user, go for it.
I'm just telling you (i) that I know what's admissible and what isn't; and (ii) how a talented lawyer could easily use your decision to carry such a weapon against you.
I think I've pretty much explained why you're not going to find a lot of case law on the issue -- and I'm not going to spend the $ on Lexis to prove it to you. If the opinion of a plaintiff's lawyer isn't enough to change your mind, when you've admitted that you have no personal basis for your opinion (and presumably you've never tried a civil case) other than the absence of published case law, I can't see how I can convince you.
So all I can do is wish you the best of luck, and tell you to enjoy your gun.
Cheers.
