Alcohol and guns don't mix!!!! Jim - you completely mistook what I said. I did *NOT* tell him to have a drink while he was waiting for the cops. (Voluntarily self-edited to remove knee-jerk retort to a knee-jerk response) I think I understood exactly what you meant Dean. With all due respect to him and his right to his opinions, JimC has voiced his sentiments before.

Thank you for that kimberman. I'm looking at what you wrote and I've modified it for myself with my own emphasis:
YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE THE QUOTED PARAGRAPH AND LEARN TO SAY IT AUTOMATICALLY, LIKE A PARROT

I've got a short, less eloquent version memorized.
Here goes:
"LawyerLawyerLawyerLawyerLawyerLawyerLawyerLawyer"
I'm pretty sure I can manage to remember that when adrenaline has me at my dumbest.

Yeah, I just don't trust myself to remember a speech when my nerves are frayed and adrenaline is coursing and I have flashing lights and police everywhere.
My response is gonna be something along the lines of
Quote: Ummm, er......ehhh, ummm, lawyer?!??? And I'll have called him about 0.000000000000000000001 seconds after I called the police.

From safely inside the house: a bright light and a camera. Then call the police, and post the picture (or video) on the net and make another copy before turning them over (in case the police decide it's easier to lose the evidence).
