Well ive been thru a self defense shooting case and none of that shit happened... they dont even have a database for tracking self defense shootings... if you are all in a trial, then it wasnt a cut clear case of self defense... i was armed robbed w a gun amd wound up shooting the guy 4x... police come out, you tell them your story... in my case the guy dropped my jewelry, wallet, his gun, etc and w my story it went like this... "do you wanna positive id the guy?" , i say yes and point him out whiles hes fucked up on the medic board... they bring me to station, i fill out written statement.... they tell me i need to stay in the county for 48 hours... Chief shook my hand and i walked out... didnt have to show up in court... guy sentenced to 27 years...took my gun for about 3 or 4 months, then got it back... carry the same one now
