宾州只要正当防卫不被起诉或被起诉无罪(象Kyle Rittenhouse昨天一样), 则民事免疫:
In Pennsylvania, the answer is no. A civil immunity statute protects those who are justified in using force: “An actor who uses force . . . in self-protection as provided in 18 Pa.C.S. § 505 . . . is justified in using such force and shall be immune from civil liability for personal injuries sustained by a perpetrator which were caused by the acts or omissions of the actor as a result of the use of force.” 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8340.2. In essence, if a shooter is truly justified under §505, he is protected from civil liability. This statute allows the judge to throw out a civil suit for a justified shooting as a matter of law before it even gets to trial. While matters of fact may be decided by a jury, matters of law are reserved for the judge.
