I just saw a youtube video yesterday by a guy who bills himself as a former cop and 2nd Amendment supporter. The thing he stressed was if you ever use you weapon...or even display your weapon...in a dangerous situation the first thing you do...after the dust has settled...is call 911 and report what happened. He said that that shows the police that a) you were the victim and b) that you're a responsible,law abiding citizen.

I see another side to that (just for the sake of discussion). You’ve just been through a very traumatic situation. If you call 911, they have your demeanor and your immediate description of what occurred recorded. You will not have time to think about what you say, and the operator is going to start peppering you with questions. Are you too calm? Are you hysterical? All that can come into play in court. One wrong statement can make the difference between self defense and murder. What do all lawyers tell you? STFU. Of course, if you’re the only one there you have to make the call, or shoot, shovel, and shut up.
