Awesome Questions from Good Friend, Claude

Great questions!

QUESTION 1. What should I concentrate on  most if I have a man  on the ground and I am holding him til the law gets there--and I'm not sure whether or not he may have a fellow heathen lurking in the shadows?

ANSWER 1. Maintain a safe distance first and foremost Claude, and make sure your family is safe and secure behind you at an even further distance.  I would make Deanna or Little man hold the Cell phone while you contain and control the bad guy. Do not attempt to approach or put  restraints on him/her, have Deanna or Little man give an accurate description of you your position and weapon, the position (prone arms straight out or seated facing away legs crossed, kneeling same thing hands behind head). Wolves travel in packs as I teach so as soon as you have done the original business (shooting and securing) you scan 180 slowly and have Deanna and Eli do so without leaving to look and endangering themselves hostage wise while 911 is called for Police and Medical. Seems like you've already considered a plan. Great!

QUESTION 2. When a person comes on your property during the day, do you still have the same rights (read: self defense options under P.C. ch9) as the "after dark" law (exceptions)?

ANSWER 2. No. (criminal mischief and arson, and burglary are in the night time legal exception.)

QUESTION 3. When a person bumps you from behind, should you get out of the car, or call the law first?

ANSWER 3. Law Enforcement first. Stay in the vehicle and describe to the operator the "bump" vehicle and plates and driver if you can. Request assistance and leave the line open. "Motorist needs assistance" calls may take a bit to get answered but they will come so stay put. Do not get out of the vehicle until the responding officer asks you too even if the other guy takes off. Look at your vehicle as a suit of armor and a 3000 lb. weapon if needed. Should the "bumper" get violently aggressive toward either you or the vehicle, having the line open will get "LE" to step up the response on the call. (Road rages are always taken seriously. Always)
