Since I carry, it would probably be a good idea to have lawyer to contact should a self defense situation occur. Do you have any recommendations for one in central Indiana? If you do, have you introduced yourself and stuff? I am not sure where to start so any advice would be appreciated!
Having a lawyer is a good idea. I didn't give a statement until my FOP attorney was there. However, don't get into the paranoia of thinking we're out to get you and you'll be arrested if you don't have one. I was more worried about my own chain of command than the prosecutor's office, quite frankly. We've had a multitude of folks involved in self defense come through the office, give a statement without a lawyer present, and then be released and no charges filed. At least in Marion County, the prosecutor isn't looking to file on good shoots. Now if you do something stupid like shoot at a car full of kids because they bought the last strawberry milkshake or something, that's different, but good shoots are just that and are treated as such in my experience.
