Well you have to admit, an armed CG patrol boat or cutter is going to have a bit more intimidation factor than a lone game warden... so the analogy may not be the best, but my point is, I would expect that if anyone were to point a weapon in a threatening manner at a CG vessel - there's a reasonably good chance they would be fired upon....and not just with warning shots. Not only that, but it doesn't seem likely that said vessel would vacate the area while the agitated individual calms down. I'm all for restraint and good judgement in any law enforcement officer, however.
