I appreciate the info, fellas.
Being a broke-ass colllege kid, most people probably have more money floating around beneath their couch cushions than I do in my savings account so I don't see anyone going after me for my money. Still, hypothetically, lets say the aforementioned scenario happens to me and I get hauled in to court.
Would being able to demonstrate the following make for a solid defense?
1) I have received X amount of formal firearms training.
2) I have spent X amount of years carrying a firearm in a professional capacity.
3) The United States government trusted my judgement enough to put me in a position of absolute authority, gave me a gun and turned me loose, alone and with literally no supervision.
4) I practice weekly and compete monthly in shooting events that are meant to simulate defensive shooting situations.
5) The aftermarket company that manufactures the 3.5 lbs connector advertises them as safe/acceptable for use in a defensive weapon.
6) The purpose of a lightened/cleaned up trigger is to improve accuracy; I am taking precautionary measures to ensure that I hit what I'm shooting at and not Johnny Bystander.
7) Glock's G34/35 "Tactical" pistols come with a factory installed 3.5 lbs connector for the purposes of "obtaining the greatest accuracy for target engagement".
8) The general consensus of defensive shooting instructors/experts and the manufacturers of high-end defensive pistols seems to be that a 3.5-5 lbs trigger pull weight is ideal.
9) My training, experience and shooting ability all exceed those of the average person (except, of course, for Strange Famous).
