re: Defense Lawyers point of view for using your concealed firearm

Now that I have time, here is my 2 cents.
First off, 17 years in LE with most of that being in Investigations.
My view on Conceal Carry is that you shouldn't need a permit. You have a right to protect yourself and shouldn't be required have a permit to not be a victim. I advise everyone that not only should they own a firearm they should carry one everywhere.
On the job, my right to protect myself as a police officer is the same right a citizen has to protect themselves.
When it comes to a shooting, I don't need to pay an attorney to tell me to tell the truth. I'm going to tell the truth regardless.
As an investigator, someone who refuses to give any statement or answer questions is gonna instantly lose credibility with me. Again, why do you need an attorney to tell you to tell the truth?

1. because there are some bad cops in the world and the shooter doesnt know them.
2. A trial of your peers may not see your action of using a firearm as reasonable regardless if it was or not.
3. The LEO may inaccurately document what you say.
These are straight from the article. Paraphrasing a bit.
In 17 yrs, have you not known 1 innocent person go to prison?

you are trained to handle those types of situations or have been on one side of them. the average citizen is not. its not about telling the truth. someone involved in a incident, may make a statement that incriminates them. heck, it may not even be true what they say, the mind will fill in the blanks in traumatic situations.

Wait, so you're telling me that if someone freely gives you a statement, everything is ok, but if they immediately lawyer up and plead the 5th you automatically think they're guilty of something nefarious? That's kinda scary that you're ignoring these people's Constitutional rights.
