This is my first post, and I'm not sure if this has been covered here before. What steps do you take immedetely after being involved in a self defense incident? I
This topic has been covered a lot. hit the search and you'll see dozens of threads. Basically they all say;
Secure the area
Contact the police
Contact your lawyer
Don't speak to the one W/out the other present
Sam's Rules for a Gunfight
If you have been in Condition Yellow, the following will be
unnecessary, but, if not, then:
1. Bring a handgun.
2. Bring a handgun whose caliber starts with at least a 4.
3. Don't draw it unless you intend to use it.
4. Don't point it at anything you don't want to destroy.
5. Don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
6. Once you fire, keep firing until your "target" ceases to be a
threat. Count your shots if you can. If given the opportunity, do a
tactical reload. Try not to shot your weapon empty.
7. Call 911
8. Call Your lawyer. If you can, get a good criminal law attorney on
retainer before you need one.
9. Render aid if needed.
10. When questioned by police:
a. I feared for my life.
b. I'm too upset to talk now.
c. Stop talking
Item 2. is arguable. You may not be able to properly conceal one of
the 10mm or .45 caliber pistols. Or you may not be able to control your
fire with one. If either is the case, then at least adhere to rule 1
and bring a handgun of some type. the .25 ACP you have with you is a
lot better than the .45ACP you left home.
