Defensive shoot in another state - Page 2

Bark'n hit ir on the head. I'll only add that a lot depends on the nature and surrounding circumstances. If its a clear cut shoot and you are stable and not a flight risk, you'll be sent home rather quickly. If you are acting like a loon and dont have a verifiable residence, they might want to hold on to you until they are 100% sure you are in the right.

The first self defense shooting by a CCW in Kansas, happened to be by someone from outside the state. They were fairly certain it was self-defense, but investigated /reviewed everything over about 3 days, decided it was justified self defense, and that was the end of it.

But he was only detained for a few hours, the way my cc instructor told it... a fellow from Oklahoma who ran into trouble in Topeka.

...if I'm thinking of the correct incident.

When I go through the mental drill for a shooting I always include the fact that I will probably be detained and have to remain in that area for some time. You should make plans to have money saved and/or credit card clear to be able to stay in motel for at least a week. If it doesn't happen then you are money ahead, but you are covered if it does happen. I do this although most of my travel is in Missouri and Kentucky, both bordering Tennessee. Since they do border on TN, I would probably be allowed to return home, but I like to be prepared for the worse. It will all depend on the LEA and the courts at the shooting locale.

If that state had a reciprical agreement with my home state, the result should be the same as long as it was a good defensive shoot. I would rather spend a few days extra answering police questions, than to spend a few days in their morgue.

If you tell the truth and the physical evidence supports it, should be relatively easy on you. EG: His gun (or knife) beneath his body, etc

Stay armed...know the state laws where you travel with a firearm

...stay safe!

AND make only the minimum required statement to police, "That person attacked me. I was in fear for my life. I acted to stop the attack. I will speak further with you after I have the benefit of counsel." Then SHUT UP.

Don't talk yourself into unnecessary trouble.
