Don’t talk to the police

Exactly. Even the sheriff's deputy who taught my handgun safety class said the same thing.

My friend who happens to be a lawyer told me exactly what to do if I even so much as drew my weapon, much less ever fired it.

STFU was his exact words, you have the right to remain silent so USE it, especially when you first call 911 to report it. He even goes so far as to recommend someone else call for you so you’re not on the recording at all if possible.

It doesn’t matter if the cops get all pissy because you hand them your ID and refuse to answer a single question, even that you were involved at all and it’s your gun laying there. He couldn’t begin to tell me how many people he represented talked themselves right into a corner because they were chatted up by the cops at the scene, even if they were innocent.
