Say only 3 things:
1) I was in fear for my life.
2) That’s all I have to say.
3) I want to talk to my attorney.
Period.
Good comment! Said it better than I can! Hope to see you at the talkradio threads later.
That’s right. If you’ve done anything that might be considered a criminal offense, you don’t talk to the cops. Period. You will never talk yourself out of a charge but you sure might talk yourself into one.
"I am kind of shook up, I don't want to say anything or answer any questions until I talk to my attorney."
or
"I'm feel a little confused and shocked right now, can we talk later after I talk with my attorney, and calm down a bit?"
Either one of those responses are all you need to say, and there will be no questioning.
Volunteer NOTHING. Not even what time it is, if asked.
There is chatter in the CCW realm that the injustice in this case (if no new evidence) increasing the chance of normal law abiding citizens to revive the illegal/immoral concept of carrying a "drop gun" or "drop knife" to prevent over zealous prosecution. Im ashamed that I even have to say that, but this is a country I am starting not to recognize anymore!
