Chapter member Ed Baldwin provides a good recap of the meeting.

Engage Brain Before Opening Mouth

Knoxville Attorney David Eldridge addressed the Lakeview Chapter of the Tennessee Firearms Association on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The nearly standing room only audience paid rapt attention to the speaker and a lively discussion occured.

Much of the speakers time was occupied by questions about current firearms related laws in Tennessee but he still had time to address his intended subject of what to do if involved in a situation where you use a firearm.

Eldridge emphasized the importance of stepping back and thinking before speaking with law enforcement. He said that a person who shoots a criminal should speak only facts, without elaboration. To paraphrase Eldridge's comments: "I feared for my life (or someone elses life)." "I had to stop him/her." "I want a lawyer."

Eldridge said that following a traumatic event, it is a natural tendency to express sympathy. That's the wrong thing to do. He said calm down, be polite, and stick to basic facts of the situation.
