YPD gets 3 or 4 unsubstantiated "shots fired" calls every week. Why is this suddenly newsworthy?

Odd, just this week, we heard from the commenters that there was no crime in Ypsi? <a href="http://www.annarbor.com/news/crime/ann-arbor-city-officials-concerned-about-increase-in-break-ins/?plckFindCommentKey=CommentKey:a5ba739b-ce04-4595-9d7f-0bf363bf094f">http://www.annarbor.com/news/crime/ann-arbor-city-officials-concerned-about-increase-in-break-ins/?plckFindCommentKey=CommentKey:a5ba739b-ce04-4595-9d7f-0bf363bf094f</a> BTW, here is the map for Ypsi. For some odd reason, you can only look at two types of crime at a time: <a href="http://geodata.acad.emich.edu/Crime/Main.htm" rel='nofollow'>http://geodata.acad.emich.edu/Crime/Main.htm</a> <a href="http://hvcn.org/info/ypd/" rel='nofollow'>http://hvcn.org/info/ypd/</a> They don't report to crimemapper dot com or whatever.

I hate to say it, but if I used my gun to defend myself or my family I'm not sure it would be in my best interest to call the police. The best thing that could happen is they clear you, the worst being you get charged with murder. The criminals seem to be entitled to your property these days, and any resistance by the home owner is not recieved well by the public.

I hope this helps you - respectfully - I'll say that ALL the legal experts on this subject advise those involved in self defense shootings to IMMEDIATELY call 911 and request police AND ambulance at the location. Doing so - is the first! -step in establishing your innocence in the eyes of police and prosecutors. Second step: respectfully insist on talking to an attorney before giving any statement(s) to police. Never delay, never "rehearse a story" before calling 911. Doing so always arouses suspicion. Instead: listen to your attorney - follow their counsel. BTW: the organization "USCCA" offers members INSURANCE to cover attorneys fees up to $300K. Protect your rights - don't throw them out the window.
