This is not an abstract question, but a request for legal advice. You need to hire an attorney — not request layman opinions on an online forum.
Second — to those offering advice ... I am unsure of Minnesota Law, but it is plausible that you could be held liable for any actions taken under your advice. You don’t know all the facts, and you only know one side of this story. As an attorney, I would suggest not getting involved in an actual legal dispute that could result in someone getting shot.

As an attorney, do you find that your screen name "Hemorrhage" is often misread as "Hemorrhoid" ?? ;-)
Cheers!
I agree- those of us offering advice should have some level of proficency, not just “Hold my Beer while I offer advice” stuff.
On the other hand, if we all took your advice and offered no tangible help, well, I sleep better when I have information that could help someone, and offer it. I have been where this guy is, but thanks to some good men and sound advice (and some youthful wisdom to tell the difference) my family and I survived.
To those who make comments along the lines of “if he falls outside, drag him back”; “He would be dead by now” etc, you should know better.

I fully appreciate what you're saying and am concerned that I may have caused anyone here to make themselves liable for any action on my part. If that is so I humbly apologize.
I would not be at all surprised if others decided not to post after reading through your comment because of the potential for liability.
My bottom line is that I don't expect anyone to get in trouble over my issues, so please don't post to this thread if you're concerned about that...
At any rate, ‘nuff said there.
