In general, I agree with his advice.

The only part I might have a very minor qualm with is his #1 recommendation of holstering the gun immediately.
I've seen enough videos and stories of attackers downed by a Good Guy, only to have him 'come back alive' and continue the fight to the point of the victim needing to shoot again.

That being said, I'm sure it's a very, very small percentage of the time.

Otherwise, I agree with the poster above about local/state law.  Learning the laws of your own state is critical to understanding how the legal concept of self-defense actually works and applies to every-day life.

In my wallet, I carry a card that I made up with tips from a similar Massad Ayoob video I watched.
1.  Call in the incident.
2.  Establish the dynamic - "Self defense due to _________".
3.  "I would like to cooperate in your investigation, but I am unable to give any statement at this time."
4.  Point out any evidence.
5.  Point out any witnesses.
6.  Request an attorney and say nothing more.

If the cops arrive and ask, "which way did they run?", DO NOT ANSWER THEM.

If someone else is hurt, a family member has been shot, or your neighbor is bleeding out in the garage, DO NOT TALK TO THE COPS.

Even if you think you should tell them you are calling your lawyer before anything else happens, DO NOT TELL THEM.  THEY'RE COPS.

These are the SMART things to do after a self defense shooting because GD SAID SO.

It depends on your location. NYC that is probably superb advice.

And no, repeating “I was in fear for my life” because a 12 year old went into your yard to get his ball ain’t some magical spell to avoid charges.

Obviously each scenario is different but a guy who kicked in your door to burglarize and catches a 55grain Com is a bit different than chasing down kids who egged your house.

Local guy shot and killed sisters tweaker BF a few weeks ago. Arrested for murder and then released next day. DA public statement said that on the 911 call they could hear him directing other to "get towels and hold pressure" and to "get an ambulance here quick".
Said that was enough to show he wasn't trying to murder the dirtbag.

Consciousness of guilt is the inference that the defendant knows that he is guilty of a crime because he has taken one or more of the following actions after it. These actions include:

Fleeing from the crime scene or jurisdiction,
False alibies,
Changing or altering personal appearance,
Hiding or destroying evidence,
Bribing a witness,
Intimidating a witness or even killing a witness.

In a criminal trial the District Attorney or prosecutor can show that this type of conduct was due to a defendant’s criminal conduct and it would have not occurred otherwise.

If you shoot an attacker, and they're able to throw THEIR gun under a house, DO NOT TELL THE COPS WHERE IT IS.

I always liked Clint Smith's answer to that question:

If possible, call 911 before confronting the intruder.  "There's someone in my house and I'm in fear for my life!"  Then put down the phone without hanging up, so the dispatch call logs records you challenging the intruder.

Once LE gets there;

1. "I was in fear for my life/my family's lives."
2. "I want him arrested", even if they're clearly dead (implies criminality on the part of the intruder)
3. Shut the fuck up

My old agency investigated a shooting at a shitty bar a few years ago.  The dead guy (drunk as fuck) pulled a gun and pointed it at the shooter, who shot the dead guy in the forehead with a single round out of an LCR from about 15 feet (shooter was sober) and killed him DRT.  The dead guy was a popular local and the bar patrons started getting really worked up and the shooter thought he was about to get worked over or worse, so he jumped on his bike and took off.  He came back 15 minutes later and cooperated with the investigation once LE was on scene.  He was never charged, despite what the locals and the dead guy's family wanted.

OK, so stick around and wait for the intruder's buddies to show up and tune you up good.

Because home invaders always work solo and the cops will be there lickety split.

Retreating to safety is for chumps.

Be sure to stick around and dazzle the patrol cops with your legal knowledge.

Just go hide behind a tree out in the alley and when the cops get there, wave them over.
Maybe be sure your lawyer is on speaker-phone.



99% says anyone who sticks around for the cops also talks to the cops.

Except for those pesky Penal code mentions such as Burglary, Arson, robbery, and aggravated robbery.

Pled guilty, 8 years of probation for manslaughter over shooting a theif

A ton of people have been arrested, charged, and convicted over shooting over property in Texas.

The castle doctrine is pretty hard and fast and provides legal protection.

Yep he's in prison with the other murderers.



Oh dang nevermind.


At least this guy who chased down a car thief with his gun out  at a mall then shot him is going to prison.


And this guy who shot a thief then stood over him and put a bullet in his brain then fled the scene faced no charges.

When analyzing situations, it's wise to consider your own blind spots. You've sworn your undying allegiance to the State, and we need people like you for some roles. We could not survive people like you in all roles. You do your job artistically well, as you should, but the State isn't the ultimate Right. The world will be less confusing if you're able to recognize that.
