Reply #88: i'm, still not confident that's true [View All]

because i've responded to numerous scenes of this sort and in nowhere near MOST of them did this happen.

but it did happen in a few.

in most defensive shootings ime, there is a call in BY the shooter or a roommate/friend, etc. and the CCw'er has put the gun down by police arrival, and a mere pat down is done (like it would be done at any shooting) and that's about it.

regardless, my point is that in regards to "arrest", it's incorrect for people to assume from your post that defensive shooting means you will likely get cuffed and stuffed.

it is possible, and maybe likely that you will be briefly handcuffed until the scene can get sorted out, but fwiw, that's not at all unusual at ANY shooting scene, even for witnesses and VICTIMS until the scene is sorted out.

if the cops arrive, there is blood everywhere, and they don't know who did what to whom, the PRIMARY concern is protection of life. the medics aint going to come in (nor should) they until the scene is made safe. if the guy is bleeding out on the ground, the cops most likely are going to cuff up EVERYBODY so the medics can come in safely and get the injured under care right away

regardless of whether it was a CCW self defenseshooting, or whatever.
