The Aftermath of a Self-Defense Shooting – April 18, 2019

1 hour 5 minutes

Kevin and Tom get into what really happens – and what needs to happen – in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting. They go into in-depth detail on the hazards of choosing to modify your carry gun and what to expect from law enforcement immediately following a self-defense shooting. Tom speaks at length about your right to remain silent and your right to retain an attorney, which phrase has more legal power, and what exactly it can do for you in the aftermath. What to say – or not say – to the 911 dispatcher when you call in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting is also discussed.
