Illinois law contains civil immunity for the justified defense of property or life. However, this immunity clause isn't as concrete as one may think. We are always guilty until proven innocent. And, we may have to prove our innocence in civil court. Let's discuss the civil immunity in Illinois for self-defense. Let's also discuss how you may be sued even if you acted justifiably. If you take your personal protection seriously, I'd recommend looking at a self-defense insurance company with civil protection.
