Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
I would assume so, but there may be statutory or case law that says otherwise. I'd suggest contacting a lawyer if this is more than a theoretical query.

Maybe. Consider, however, that your lack of experience may have an impact on your credibility both with the agencies you are providing training to and to the courts when you and they are sued for wrongful use of force. (Yes - even when you do everything correctly, you will get sued and have to defend yourself in court.)

Yes - Every citizen is entitled to self-defense, including the use of deadly force when they are in reasonable fear for their life or the life of another person. What difference does it make if they use a firearm, knife, baseball bat or their own hands/feet? The difference is that the weak can defend themselves from stronger, younger predators. No law abiding citizen should be disbarred the use of arms for the defense of themselves and their family.

Yes.
Share Answer: 
Yes, they are completely legal. But, you are right and someone might freak out if someone sees them. Calling the PD and explaining the situation should be fine. We helped dispose of all sorts of stuff (ammo, explosives, etc.).

Nothing is going to happen if you don't do anything. Why contact the police if you don't want to cooperate with the investigation?
