that if I misuse my weapon in any manner I should be charged and face the penalty.

I realize that there should be absolutely no doubt that I used my weapon for legitimate self defense and had good reason to fear for my life or health when I did so. If there is a reasonable doubt I should face a trial and present my defense.

Any concealed weapons permit classes will emphasize this point.
