Survival is step one. We're step two.
Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Leslie Cross break down three things prosecutors may try to use against you after a self-defense shooting—from the words you say immediately afterward, to your social media history, to the gun, ammunition, and modifications you chose.
What you do before and after a self-defense incident can become evidence in a courtroom. Could an angry Facebook post come back to haunt you? Can statements made to police, family members, or even over a jail phone be used against you? And could your choice of firearm, ammo, or modifications be portrayed negatively to a jury?
In this episode, Emily and Leslie discuss:
🔹 Your Own Mouth – Why statements made at the scene, during a 911 call, on body camera, in an ambulance, or afterward can become critical evidence.
🔹 Social Media & Signs – Posts like “FAFO,” aggressive comments, memes, stickers, and signs around your home may be used to paint a picture of your mindset.
🔹 Your Gun, Ammo & Modifications – How prosecutors may characterize your firearm, defensive ammunition, trigger work, cosmetic modifications, or other equipment choices.
The key takeaway: you may know exactly why you made certain choices—but someday you may have to explain those choices to twelve jurors who see things very differently.
Know what can be used against you, make smart decisions before an incident ever happens, and understand your rights after a self-defense shooting.
