Someone breaking into my house at 2 AM, I will call Mr Smith and Mr Wesson.
Then I will seek to change the perp’s heart and mind. Two in the heart, one in the mind.
Then I will place my weapon on the floor at my feet, grab my cell phone and go outside. I will prepare to lie down, arms out, and my ID near my head.
Only then will I call the police.
“A man* was breaking into my house. I was in fear for my life, and I shot him. I am unarmed, lying on the ground outside my home. I will say no more without an attorney present.”
*usually
Well good for you. Most of those talking trash about the police are the first to call them when things get crazy.
And if the cops kill you anyway, they'll likely walk away scot free.
