Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first priority after a self-defense shooting?

The absolute first priority is to ensure your own safety and confirm that the immediate threat has been neutralized. You are the victim in this scenario, so securing your well-being is paramount before addressing anything else.

How should you communicate with 911 after a shooting?

When calling 911, provide only essential information: your name, location, and that you are the victim. Avoid giving a detailed statement or admitting fault over the phone, as this can be used against you later.

Who should you contact immediately after ensuring safety and calling 911?

You should immediately contact your self-defense insurance hotline or your attorney. This is the only person you should provide a full, detailed account of the incident to, as they can advise you on legal protections.

What legal rights should you invoke when police arrive?

When law enforcement arrives, comply with their commands but explicitly state that you do not consent to searches. You must invoke your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney before answering detailed questions.
