Avoiding Negative Outcomes -- Contacting the Police


One of the ways we can avoid making, as Claude Werner puts it, a Serious Mistake in a defensive encounter is to plan on notifying the authorities as soon as it is feasible. This has been a blind spot pointed out by commenters when someone sharing their personal experiences fails to address it.I've put together a few links on the topic for everyone's convenience, especially for those who have yet to read LoSD or Deadly Force or Straight Talk.Massad Ayoob, "Whoever calls first in first, by default, gets to be the victim/complainant." I have seen him repeat this line in enough different publications that I've forgotten where I first read it. For now here's a source from the ACLDN. https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/3-most-common-post-shooting-errors"Bill's Story". Probably a lot of you have seen advertisements for the full video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlBrphgbhBkUSCCA, 'Call 911, Even if You Don't Shoot'. Expands on the lessons learned in Bill's Story. https://ift.tt/2S1Y5eR Response Training, 'Should I Leave the Scene of a Defensive Shooting?' I think that a lot of what Greg Ellifritz says here also applies even if shots were not fired. https://ift.tt/2L5SCTD free to post more on the subject if you have a link you often use for reference. I'm curious to know if knowing how to call 911 is a bigger training gap than knowing how to respond to police contact, even outside of a CCW context -- I was reminded of this when listening to Brian Hill of the Complete Combatant's episode on Civilian Carry Radio for the second time.https://ift.tt/2S0P5Xw via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2L6Tx6i
