I'm mainly looking for an answer from a lawyer or LEO on this one as I've gotten mixed answers
from my local police and here but anybody can chime in.
If you shoot and kill a BG are you immediately considered at fault no matter what the situation
may have been?
I constantly hear on THR and other sites about having counsel and calling him/her immediately
after the shooting. Well immediately calling after the police anyways. If you were defending your
life or another life you are considered guilty until proven innocent? Or is that just to cover your
butt in case you say something dumb to incriminate yourself?
Does carrying a gun/weapon and possibly using it mean you should have tens of thousands in
the bank in case you need this attorney before you even think about using a weapon for self
defense?
On a side note:
When my dog was attacked in my front yard, by a stray, while I had him on a leash, the
police later told me that I would have been justified to shoot the attacking stray as it may
have attacked me also.
So was that bad advice straight from the police to get me in a jam for another possible encounter?
