Hot off the presses, so to speak, is Alan Korwin's latest, After You Shoot --- Your gun's hot. The perp's not. Now what?
I'd say this is a "must read" discussion of what not to do after a self-defense shooting, including advice to STFU (Say The Fewest Utterances, mods...), not to call 911 yourself (have someone else, preferably your attorney make the call), to give no statement to investigators without benefit of counsel, and to invoke all of your constitutional and Miranda rights right off the bat, and to refuse to be bullied or badgered into forfeiting your rights.
Alan consulted defense attorneys, judges, Mas Ayoob, and many others qualified by training and professional experience to have informed opinions on the matter, and publishes many comments contrary to his own outlook --- this really is a well-grounded discussion, rather than the simple assertion of one individual's opinion.
If nothing else, the discussion is a sobering reminder of the predictably unhappy repercussions of using a firearm in any self-defense circumstances, no matter how seemingly straightforward and unambiguous they may seem.
