you stated that you saw this yourself.why did you just sit on your hands? why did you not say something?i assure you that if you get on the stand lying a atty will find you out and make you look like a idiot.where in the world did you come up with not to conceal a gun?you will have you license pulled if it is visible. it is to be concealed and out of sight,
common sense and watching what you say to the investigating officer.many change their stories without realizing it.it shows up when the atty questions you.you can tell a lie that sounds plausable but the ballistics prove it wrong.there are many factors that can get you in trouble.
if you breaks into your home and is leaving,you can not use deadly force. the courts state that the threat is gone if he is leaving.now on the other hand one could say you felt threatened bu just his being there.the burgular could always make a sudden movement that you preceived as a threat.texas laws alllow you to use deadly force to protect your property.not all states do this.a few years ago a man caught a man breaking into his car.he did not own a gun so he went and got his compound bow.the guy started towards him and got shot. the guy died. he was no-billed by the grand jury.on another occasion a man saw a woman being assaulted in her car.it was her estranged husband.the guy shot her and took off in his car.the witness had just returned from the gun range and a scoped 44mag revolver.he shot the guy trying to leave 2 times.he was justified . the law here states you have the right to use deadly force to protect another who is in immediate danger.he had to go to trial and was not no-billed by the grand jury.he was finally cleared but it cost him money.
you are blatantly wrong to tell the people to lie. investigators have seen too many things happen not to know a lie.i know this from being a officer for 25 years.just because you have a gun does not mean you know when to use it unless trained. many tin]mes just the appearance of the gun escalates the situation
