Whats the difference between saying something right now and waiting an hour or several hours for your attorney to arrive? In a court of law how can the fact that you wanted an attorney be used against you?
Training is always a good thing but its not a solution which will stop things from going wrong. Lots of well trained people get themselves into bad situations all the time. I think the solution is to have a responsive well known criminal defense attorney at the ready who you have consulted with previously. Any person who uses firearms for work or leisure should always have one at the ready. Anytime you get a hint you might be in trouble the first call should be to that attorney. I think there are quite a few people out there (we wont get into specific names) who would have been better off calling an attorney from the start then dealing with it in their own way or in a way prescribed on an internet message forum.
