Gentlemen,
While obviously everyone is trying to stay "high road" about this, we can discuss the issue and still be within the objective that Oleg envisioned.
A shooting, good or bad, can get you into jail. Heck, a malfunctioning gun can get you into jail. Ask David Olofson.
Being right, being innocent and being found not guilty are, in fact, three separate issues. Let us assume that you, the shooter, is both right and innocent.
The goal of being found "not guilty" is about minimizing evidence that can be used against you. Having your gun toss brass around can indeed come back to bite you.
Shots fired, location of the shooter, location of anything that the brass could ricochet off of, where they might be kicked by EMS and/or police personnel, if some are missing, found mysteriously in another room or outside (assuming the incident occured inside). All of these things can be used as the vehicle for the government lawyers (prosecutor) to weave a tale.
While most government lawyers are interested only in finding the truth and seeing that justice is done, some are interested in advancing their careers. With this in mind, the tale that they weave might not be the truth. Giving that type of government lawyer less to work with means a better chance of being found not guilty
