What a lot of the people out there don't realize is that, in many, many States, cities and locals, if you pull the trigger to defend yourself and your loved ones, you WILL be Automatically Charged and Arrested, even if you have every Legal right to do so and the D.A. D) This kept ME from being charged with Attempted Murder, because everything I did was on the record and in accordance with Virginia Law at that time. and said "I am remaining silent until I can talk to a Lawyer". B) I kept yelling " I have a gun and will shoot if you don't leave", and the 911 people heard it loud and clear on the phone. A) I called 911 when it started, and tried to follow their directions. When I was involved in my shooting, I remember the advice Mas Ayoob wrote about what to do from the Legal side of things. Tam, may I plug my lawyers in your comments, please?
Once the PD does show up, accept that you're going to be handcuffed until they figure out who's what and answer any question that goes beyond identifying yourself by saying that you wish to make your statement in the presenceof your legal counsel whom you have already contacted and nothing more! Be polite about it, but careful too.įrankly, choosing to render first aid to another who is potentially part of a crime scene is a difficult decision, especially if you shot him/her.
My lawyer advises to call 911, make the initial report then hang up and call him. I do remember that my class instructor made the specific point several times that, if you become involved in a shooting (even if only as a direct witness to events) your first action as soon as the gun smoke starts to clear is to call 911 and stay on the phone with the operator until told otherwise. Not every possible, and the instructors I'm familiar with are quick to point out that they aren't lawyers and everyone needs to consult one for detailed analysis of the body of legal interrpretation that may exist. Here in Texas at least, potential self-defense examples are part of the CHL instruction syllibus - along with the appropriate Texas criminal code section that applies.
