Re: 911 puts on hold during violent break in
If there's a home invasion in progress and you're armed, the only reason to call 911 is to come pick up the bodies.
And you call after the shooting stops.
Even odds the dispatcher was a protected minority, and will receive a stern finger waving, but no other penalties or corrective discipline.
Given that this is FL, it's a pity the one he shot got away, instead of being taken out for a midnight gator-feeding expedition.

They tell the story around here, about a couple of punks breaking into a man's tractor shed in the wee small hours of the morning. Owner calls 911, and is told will be 20-30 minutes before some member of the local constabulary arrives. Owner hangs up the phone.
Five minutes later, Owner calls 911 again, tells them that there's no rush, because he'd shot both of the misguided choirboys, and they were deader than canned mackerel.
Five minutes after that, THREE county sheriff's cars pulled up in Owner's driveway, and find both choirboys zip-tied together, both alive and well. Deputy said "They told us you'd killed them!"
Owner says, "S'alright, they told me it's be a half hour before ya'll got here."

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

"911 operator fat-fingers transfer button" is a lot more boring than "911 operator puts caller on hold" I guess.

Re: 911 puts on hold during violent break in
home invasion equals gunfire. Period.
first off, that is a violent action by definition and violent people only understand violence right back
second, in Florida, if you violently enter my home, it is presumed BY LAW that you are trying or at least willing to kill me and I should kill you right back
Third, dead home invaders do NOT become repeat offenders - I am protecting the less prepared and able.
