I've heard that one too. I can't help but chuckle, but I think they are serious. I think that would be hard to reconcile with wanting to make a short unembellished statement, then take time to calm down before talking further.

This past Saturday I had a large CHL class, and an attorney was a student. He felt the need to pipe up whenever he thought a particular point was important. I try to allow feedback in classes, and I encourage student participation and comment.

At one point, he decided to give his legal advice about what a person should do regarding the police if ever involved in a shooting. His advice was to not speak to the police AT ALL about the incident until in the presence of one's attorney. In fact, he advised that when calling 911 that the shooter should only mention that there was a dead/shot person at his location, and hang up without giving any other details.

I disagree and have my own thoughts, but would like Charle's opinions.

Other instructors are welcome to offer your POV.

Thanks.
