“The implication is that if you were on your own property holding a weapon”

I don’t march around my property w/weapon in hand like a kid playing soldier. If I did do such a ridiculous thing and heard someone say to drop it, I’d stop and say “who’s there and why are you here?”

If the one asking had wanted to shoot me, they could’ve done so w/o warning.

So speaking, instead of turning w/weapon in hand, would be the option I choose.

p.s., I have never “turned reflexively” in my life.

The only “reflexive” reaction I’ve experienced to loud words or noises is more of a cringe.

The turning comes later, and quite consciously.

And by SRPD and deputy Gelhaus rules if you flinched as much as your head to say that to him you could be perceived as a threat and and shot multiple times until you stopped moving for failing to immediately do what the deputy told you.

Are you okay with that???
