Can you point me to examples of where a justified use of a firearm later led to prison time and/or a civil suit? I've heard this many times before, even from an attorney that spoke at our CHP class, but I've not read where this has actually occurred.
I know the guy that shot the black guy that was trying to kill a police officer in baton rouge a few years back had to deal with a lawsuit. since then, the state has modified the laws to favor the justified shooter.
Thats not what I am talking about though. You absolutely do not want to tell a police/investigator anything without a lawyer present. You are asking to frick up and say the wrong thing in a tense situation that may cost you in the long run. what you tell a cop in the heat of the moment may end up being the deciding factor in what is justified and what isnt.

This.
What my CC class instructor said was, if you do end up in a situation where you have to use your firearm to protect yourself (whether your in your own home or not) is after 911 is called and cops show up, you say "There is the threat, there are the witnesses, and this is my firearm, I will talk to you in 24 hours after I talk to my lawyer". He said the cops will try and make you feel comfortable to get you to make a statement by saying something along the lines of "oh this is an easy case, you will be okay, just tell me everything that happened", and just keep telling them "I will talk to you in 24 hours after I talk to my lawyer" or nothing at all. That was by far the biggest thing they stressed in the class other than firearm safety.
