I don't think anyone is disputing that they will treat an unknown quantity armed good citizen like a perp.

but does that mean you leave your gun in your holster and your fate to the wind in the time before any cops turn up?

We have a X-cop on the CF that is on record saying when a perp starts shooting at him
"all bets are off" regarding due care for avoiding collateral damage.






When this Tac unit shows up everything in the immediate incident is over. The clock has run past the point we are talking about. With all the CIM training I've been through one thing that is passed over, or given far too little weight, is the fact that the clock is running. These things take time to mobilize. And typically the time of the initial incident is very short.


The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
