LMAO, a 911 operator (not dispatcher) giving (incorrect)legal advice? That’s rich!

I’m in liberal connecticut where we do not have the Castle Doctrine, and in that situation, you’d be within your rights if you were to defend yourself with just a wee bit of tweaking of the storie, as the ME carries the two bodies out the door.

I forgot to add one more comment the operator said... she said to defend myself, I'd have to find a weapon similar to the weapon the two intruders had. Now, in my garage I have plenty of tools that could be considered weapons... so while I was arguing with her I asked her if my chain saw was a similar weapon. She didn't like my attitude at all!

A few months later while we were selling that house, somebody broke in while we were gone. When we came home and heard them upstairs I grabbed the same .357 and called 911. The very same operator told me to leave my loaded gun in the house and leave. "What?" I asked. "You want me to leave a loaded gun in the house so the intruder can shoot me in the back while I'm leaving?" She was almost speechless...I had some choice words for her again.
