THAT is going to get a lot of people accidentally shot by LEOs...which was probably the plan all along, Right?
Is this really true?
Police already have been using cellphone in hand or on belt as a reason to shoot. Some very high profile police shootings over the past dozen years or so were of people holding cell phones or wallets. To some police, anything in hand is necessarily a gun and is necessarily pointing at the officer.
I remember this story flying around a couple of years ago. Fake News.
I don’t think so.
If an honest, law abiding citizen has one, why should a police officer care?
It’s not like they’re going to brandish it at them.
In the case of an encounter with the police, I let them know if I am carrying, as my CCP requires I do so. And I’m certainly not going to make quick, futile movements around a cop, just slow and deliberate and lots of talking about exactly what I’m doing.
This really isn’t any different from any other concealed carry.
When the cops shoot a guy, it’s usually because he was brandishing or going to brandish.
CCP holders are taught NOT to do that.
