Sage advice. Lesson Learned: Don’t talk tough. Don’t try to impress the 911 dispatcher with what a bad ass you are and how ready and willing you are to fight back. It may make you look like the aggressor in the altercation. Rather you want to be able demonstrate that you did everything you reasonably could to avoid or deescalate the conflict before you were forced to act in order to save yourself. You’ll find that none of triers of the facts wants to see someone out on the streets who is looking for a fight, especially not someone with a gun. Not the police not the district attorney, not the judge and not the jury. Nobody.
