There's a good chance that a DA might argue that if you had time to call 911 before using deadly force then your life wasn't really in imminent danger and you could've retreated. Depends on your state laws and the circumstances obviously.


Would definitely depend. If you're in a state with Castle Doctrine or something similar, you're more than likely good.

It'd be completely reasonable to call 911 for a break in, and have the outcome be a self-defense shooting. It honestly would likely work in your favor, showing that you weren't necessarily set on taking matters into your own hands, but were forced to when they confronted you.

And this is my line of thinking. That dispatcher and the scene can back up everything I tell the cops.
