What NOT To Do After A Self Defense Shooting

[@richardefriend]

The advice my EDC insurer offers for after a shooting (which does appear to be sage advice) is to call the police to report that you're the victim of a crime, call for help for yourself and/or the attacker, give location and describe yourself, and then inform dispatch that you've got to call your lawyer so you're hanging up (and if you prefer, add "I'll answer any further questions as soon as my attorney gets here"), and then HANG UP AND CALL YOUR ATTORNEY.

[@ItsShatter]

Advice I’ve heard was never to hang up on dispatch. Stay on the line to follow instructions, but refuse to answer questions.

[@richardefriend]

@@ItsShatter Then unless you've called your EDC insurance plan lawyer before calling 911, you're gonna be at a real disadvantage when the cavalry finally arrives. Once dispatch has the where , what and who, there's no further need to keep them on. They're not a security blanket.

[@ItsShatter]

@@richardefriend well if they let you go/ give permission then that’s one thing, but if you hang up on them before they’ve been able to fully assess / get an accurate understanding of the scene they are sending officers towards then that could put your life in danger.

[@dotar9586]

@@ItsShatter From what I've seen, dispatch ends up sending only partial or inaccurate information to responding officers anyway.

[@markmcgoveran6811]

@@ItsShatter I agree too many people call the police with bad information misinformation and they are taking a risk of being shot especially in a case where somebody's already been shot. The other aspect is what have you got to hide why are you in such a hurry to hang up on the dispatcher?

stuff that should be covered... having worked as an officer of the law for thirty years... many times #1) crooks are under the influence that break into homes.. #2) they aren't always alone, perhaps an awaiting crook nearby in a vehicle. Having said that people who are under the influence from speed to PCP show or have enormous amounts of strength with many times running on adrenaline and the drug itself meaning that even if the person is shot... that doesn't necessarily mean that the threat has been stopped! As a general rule #1) I've taken the weapon OUT of the perpetrator's hand(s) and away from the body once making sure that this threat has been neutralized and when available have handcuffed the person and then make sure that this person isn't alone and then check vital while having someone call 911! there are some other habits that should be learned when dealing with breakins... ty..

My father knew a guy that owned a big pawn shop in Vegas that shot and killed a robber as the robber was exiting. He was found innocent after a few years of legal battles. I imagine it would be difficult to stop firing once a person started pulling that trigger. Sheesh.

[@markmcgoveran6811]

Yeah they got a place called prison for people that have a hard time stopping what they're doing when they're wrong. We had the same thing with a simple assault. Some kids were hanging out in the alley playing the radio and an old guy came out with a board and threatened them and told them to get out of the alley and quit playing music. They took the board away from the old guy. That eliminated the threat then they beat the old guy with the board. That's where they became the criminals. If you get work up and shoot the wrong guy or shoot at somebody that's not a threat anymore that's running away man you can be in some trouble. You should be in trouble for these things because when there's no threat to you you're a risk to everybody that you might do something with a pistol nobody claims they can do MISS

[@Booboobear-eo4es]

I have applied for a concealed carry permit in Colorado. I will also order a small, discreet body cam. They can run for several hours (battery and recording time). I'll just start it up every time I leave the house. If I am involved in a self-defense incident, I am undecided whether to turn the recording over to the cops or say nothing and turn it over to my attorney for him to deliver a copy to the cops. Evidence in the hands of the police can mysteriously "disappear". Especially if it shows you are innocent.

[@nathanoakes9684]

You can move the weapon out of the immediate reach of the person that you just used force against so you can secure the scene and the weapon is no longer in play.

QUESTION: I have a few Qs but here's one: I'd be interested in a video about the attacker running from you, however, they are running to retrieve a weapon. Perhaps you know there's a giant machete, a gun you saw earlier in the day, etc. Perhaps there's something that could be used to hurt or kill you, and the attacker happens to be running *in the direction* of that weapon.

I have been a USCCA member since 5/26/2022. I prey to GOD that I never am forced into a self defense scenario. Any time I leave my house, I am hyper aware of my surroundings. If I can run, that's preferable to getting into a gunfight. I used to carry an 8shot 1911style pistol in.45acp. But, because criminals do run in packs, I changed to a high capacity 9mm. Everyone who carries a pistol, should also carry pepper spray and an individual first aid kit ON YOUR BELT. It does absolutely no good if your medical kit is sitting in your vehicle.

[@humbleguy2010]

Go to the business behind the warehouse. Take cover and call the police. If you go get your firearm and go back and engage the situation your not covered under the law. Remember the law only covers you as a legally armed citizen. Call law enforcement. Never create a situation for yourself by engaging a threat.

Your very first point is why I would never suggest shooting until your empty like most people say. You shoot till the threat is gone. And no more. In my case it was 3 shots. If my 3rd would have hit it would have been a difficult argument for self defense because the guy was starting to retreat. But in the heat of the moment the reaction time from see deadly threat to this person is no longer a threat can take a longer time then deciding the person was a threat in the first place. That is why alot of attackers are shot in the back. Because the threat leaving hasn't registered yet. And in most cases you don't realize it but your in a state of shock.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

And you BETTER have self defense insurance and an attorney's # before you reach for your piece.

[@Timboykee]

Why can't you say to the 911 operator, "I'm not answering that question until I have my attorney present." ?

[@chrlsraines]

BECAUSE: 911 calls are recorded & will be used as evidence to charge you and be played at trial. The Operator is NOT the person you need to tell this to, the Investigating Officers and Interrogators are. That simple phrase recorded in a 911 call can and most likely will be twisted in every way possible to create the narrative that you weren’t cooperating and obstructing the investigation from the very beginning. This why he explains what you should say, what info to give during the call and nothing more. EVERY single word you say will be dissected and can be twisted to fit the prosecutors narrative of “Your crime” during the incident.

Be skilled , be accurate, be practiced. YES you can despite popular belief train to be that John Wick , ok maybe not but DAMN close.

Rendering aide to your attacker IS NOT going to help your defense in any way, and may make things worse for you in the end. And may also make you vulnerable and unsafe while giving said aide.
