  2. Always ask yourself: Is 911 the answer or 1911?

  4. Watched a video by attorney Kevin Jamieson at CC class.
    He recommends no description of what happened, just state "There's been a shooting."
    No statement at all about what happened. And when LE shows up, no statement until you have an attorney.

  5. 911 ? Nope. I'd call 811 and have the utilities come out and mark the ground before I started digging. Ya don't want to hit a gas line.

    1. Even better, have the locate done now so you don’t have to call later.

  6. Don’t forget that what you say to police is ONLY going to be used against you.
    If there is exculpatory evidence in your statement on scene it won’t be used FOR you. The prosecution will object on hearsay grounds because the cops heard you say it.
    Your attorney will have to introduce it another way.

  7. I wouldn't call 911, I'd call a non-emergency number and just ask for a service call. How many times have we all heard a hysterical 911 call played on the evening news?? Don't be that caller.

    1. This is the call to make. Also take the ammo out of your weapon, collect any spent brass and put them in your safe and reloading supplies. The second call should be to your lawyer. If you do not have a lawyer do your research on who to hire before the fact. Re-verify lawyer availability yearly. That also goes for moving traffic violations. Lawyer up for a speeding ticket. Keep those moving violation off your driving records. The money spent on a lawyer will be less than the increases of the insurance premiums.

    2. No, don't unload your firearm and collect empty brass unless you want a 'tampering with evidence' charge as well. Do not fuck with or alter the scene at all.

  8. Know where a secluded field is and a shovel and a tarp .... no need to call 911.

  10. I'm probably wrong but also took the CC classes. I agree, 911 and then an attorney. I also thought if possible having witnesses when the police arrive or shortly after would be of value. Such as clergy, a neighbor of good standing, EMT's as the video says. Anyone that could testify on your behalf as to how you were treated by the authorities. Otherwise, it's just you and the cops. I doubt your attorney is going to come a running to your side. I guess the main thing is to say, I want an attorney and keep yer mouth shut. I too hope this never happens to me.

  11. There are several organizations one can join, which are essentially a legal defense team on retainer, should you need one. They are specific to gun use and have attorneys and experts all over the country ready to help. The costs are only a few hundred per year.

    I have been a member for several years and I consider it cheap insurance, especially these days.

  12. Yes, be sure to request EMT's, when they get there, tell them you're feeling funny or shocky, you want to go to emergency in case you're having or about to have a heart attack. THAT way you're MUCH less likely to end up "down at the station for investigation". We're all old, it's just a good safety measure.

  13. I saw advice once that along with the above request medical treatment..... Going to the hospital to get checked out, stress, heart rate, blood pressure, etc gives you a break from questioning to clear your head and time for your attorney to arrive...
