Hi all.
I may have dreamed this up, so feel free to educate me on it, but I recall hearing somewhere that it's harder to prove a shooting was self-defense if you fire your weapon by cocking it and shooting it single-action.
It seems to me this would be a better idea, as it would be easier to place the shot given the added stress of the situation. Every little bit helps, I would assume.
Or does cocking the weapon make it seem more malicious? Maybe DA seems like you shot fast because it was a situation of "It's going to be either me or them".
Or maybe I'm up too late and imagined hearing this somewhere.
Feedback would be appreciated.
