The first call is the first call, and if having shot someone, even if you believe it was in self defense, is not a hint you might be in trouble, you're not paying attention. So whatever you might have meant, you said that your very first call after a self defense incident should be to your lawyer. If you meant something else, you didn't say what you now claim you meant.
We can't read your mind. You need to say exactly what you mean.

No, this is a good example of how if you don't express your thoughts clearly and with precision, people will understand what you actual said and not what you thought you said.

In the meantime, three experience lawyers have offered their suggestions. People may now choose who to listen to.
