Be prepared if you ever have to resort to deadly force for self defense.
Learn to say the words “I was in fear of my life” and “I want my lawyer now”, then say nothing more. You are justified to use deadly force only when in fear of your life or the life of others with you.
Do not give anyone the opportunity to think you have a premeditated plan to kill. Do not use home reloaded ammunition. Expect to be arrested and your gun confiscated. Expect huge legal ramifications. But of course be grateful you are not the dead crime victem.
truly words to live by
The police will talk you into a corner to arrest you. Do not discuss anything
including your feeelings to any cop. Just shut the hell up and find a lawyer.
They can/will take anything you say out of context, then forget everything else
when your day in court comes. So, just shut the hell up.
Police are not your friends.
Situations like this are stressful and the police will try to question you over and over again.
What happens during this stressful time is your adrenalin starts to wear off and you
begin to remember more details.
Details make the story change by adding on to what happened.
When your story changes the police Will turn it over to the DA for investigation and bring charges
against you because they will assume you are lying or hiding something.
Never tell your story to the police, let an attorney do it. And tell the police your
attorney isn't allowing you to talk to them. They will not hold you or your attorney responsible
for doing his job by protecting you against charges.
The police will try to make you talk, and even threaten you with life in prison
for not talking to them. Remember, the police can legally Lie all they want.
