Most average Joe-citizen people don’t keep a “drop gun” handy, wouldn’t know how to go about getting one, and it isn’t necessary anyway. All that would do in most cases is incriminate the “dropper.” It’s a much easier path to reasonably perceive a threat than it is to explain why a witness saw you drop an extra gun by the body of the assailant and wrap his hand on it to make him look like he was carrying it. Then explain why it has his right-hand prints even though he was left-handed. I hate it when that happens. ;)

Couldn’t you use that info to show how deranged he really was? Or he must have dropped his OTHER gun someplace while chasing you?????
I like the ‘shooting tips card (Self-Defense Guideline Card)’ I have... it tells you (in no particular order)
Talk to NO ONE but your lawyer and when the cops get there
ask for medical treatment for shock.
AND MOST IMPORTANT (IMNSHO)
Do NOT express remorse to anyone including the police. lest “I didn’t mean to do it” gets equated with guilt...
In this atmosphere, average joe citizens who also believe in protecting themselves better become acquainted with this technique depending on what version of the castle doctrine their state has.
For the uninformed, a “drop gun” is an untraceable weapon. It does not necessarily have to be a firearm. When I lived in Ca., I had a surplus bayonette at the ready “just in case” I needed it.
